1717 New American Empire

In fact, the British have already looked up to the Yanhuang Trading Company as highly as possible. Among other things, the 30,000 troops are all veterans who have experienced battles, and the best among them are the best among the best. The locals also spent a sum of money

With many promises in exchange for the Hall M819 rifles and heavy punch front-loading rifled guns in the hands of the nobles, there is no such formation to fight against other forces. This is not the key. The key is that the leader of this force is the British

The latest rising young star, Anderson Victoria.

Yes, he is actually a branch of the royal family, a distant nephew of Queen Victoria. (I made it up) Anderson joined the British royal family when he was thirteen years old. Since he was a relative, the British royal family couldn't refuse.

As soon as he entered school, he was thrown into school, and various courses were prepared for him. Unexpectedly, Anderson was discovered by the teacher to have a strong sense of the overall situation and a very good understanding of military command. From then on, he was regarded as a

To train a general.

While he was still studying, he had already begun to command a small army to fight against the Scots and bandits without any defeat. As a result, Anderson won the title of the strongest general of the younger generation. However, Anderson was not complacent, but became even more

He is humble, and even often hangs out with veterans of the army, saying that he can learn from them. This time, speaking of it, is also a test for Anderson by the British royal family to verify whether he can become a truly outstanding "tool"

”.

The British royal family also wanted to rely on him to wrest more military power from the aristocratic parliament, so that the royal family could gain more power. Anderson commanded the 30,000 troops with ease. The soldiers loved this commander, and the commander also

He knew his soldiers very well. Anderson's humble attitude was also very useful to the noble private soldiers. All the knowledge they knew about trench defenses was told to Anderson. Coupled with Anderson's self-reasoning

, when the Apaches and others arrived, they almost thought they had their own people on the other side.

There is no way, the similarity between the entire fortification system and the fortification system they built in several battles is about 95%. If it were not for the lack of machine guns and mortars, it would not be only 95%, and they could all be there.

Ninety-nine percent. If it is a Type 56 gun

Before the clan changed their equipment, the Apaches would still have a lot of headaches. Most of the Yanhuang Type 1 rifles could not form suppressive fire on the enemies in the trenches. It is different now. The comprehensive change of the Type 56 gun clan has made

Their firepower has increased not a little bit.

Xiao Lin did not teach the Apaches any strategies such as thirty-six strategies, but taught them how to fight head-on. All strategies were adopted in order to win and reduce casualties when the strength was insufficient.

When one's own side is strong, the real way is to be upright, attack with great force, and defeat the opponent head-on. Of course, in order to prevent being tricked by others, they also each have a copy of the thirty-six strategies and other military books, and they can read them when they have nothing to do.

look.

The four field brigades used their powerful force to divide Anderson's fortification system into four parts, and each shot down one. The fifty heavy howitzers did not appear this time because transportation was too inconvenient and they are still on the way. However,

Every field brigade has

With enough artillery, the artillerymen set up 75mm mountain guns and anti-aircraft guns at an extremely fast speed. While the army was enjoying lunch, they began to conduct harassing and free fire on the British positions, just to prevent them from being able to move safely.

Have a meal.

Dust was flying everywhere, and gravel and steel fragments were shot everywhere. If you were not careful, all the shells that were lucky enough to be penetrated into trench D were sent to the west. In this case, the British really wanted to eat some bread and drink.

It was difficult to get water. Fortunately, they had eaten in the morning, otherwise they would have been starving before the company attacked. After lunch, the artillery was officially prepared and was about to start covering the ground. After a burst of artillery washed the ground,

It's time for the infantry to attack.

Don't miss the 75mm caliber, but it is earth-shattering when fired. One gun has twenty shells, which is quite impressive. Rows of artillery fire continuously, from beginning to end. Fortunately, Anderson

Give him the heavy punch in advance

It was hidden in advance, otherwise it would be completely destroyed during this bombardment. Under this intensity of continuous bombardment, the anti-gun caves built by Anderson and the others were of little use. One cannon and two cannons can still withstand it.

, it collapsed directly after three shots.

Since the invention of breech-loaded artillery, the intensity of war has increased exponentially. During World War I and World War II, in many battles, more people were killed by guns than were killed by various artillery shells. This is all based on real evidence.

Anderson almost died in the shelling. Fortunately, his bodyguards dared to sacrifice themselves, and a stroke of luck fell on him, blocking all the shrapnel for him. Anderson stood up and saw that there were 30,000 people.

At least more than 5,000 people have lost their combat effectiveness in the artillery fire.

The battle had just begun, and one-sixth of the combat effectiveness had been lost. This was really bad news. Anderson did not lose heart, and asked the auxiliary troops formed by the broken troops to immediately pull these people down and take them to the rear to hide them for treatment.

Then, some of the defeated soldiers were still intact after wearing them.

clothes, picked up undamaged muskets, and entered the position. Before they were fully in place, soldiers from four field brigades had already rushed up. The mortars began to be set up. The unique structure allowed Anderson to recognize at a glance that this was the noble.

The kind of direct-fire artillery we were talking about.

Anderson didn't know the specific power, but he also knew that if he let them play, he would be defeated. Anderson used a trick that he didn't know if it would work, which was developed from the Iroquois bulletproof shield.

At this time, the wooden planks were erected from the trench, turned sideways, and fixed in the trench with two pillars. A gap was exposed between the wooden planks and the trench for soldiers to attack. Don't tell me, it was really effective.

When the first mortar shell is fired, it can only break the wooden board, but cannot directly harm the soldiers below. If you are lucky and the wooden board is broken, nothing will happen to the people below. If you are unlucky, it will be fine.

Seriously injured by splinters of wood,

Even death. Of course, this is only the result of the Assault Type 1 6mm mortar. The power of the Type 2 82mm mortar is simply not something that this ordinary wooden board can withstand. However, this is enough to make Apache and others look at him with admiration.

.

Anderson also knew something was wrong, and immediately yelled for the soldiers to move. However, on the battlefield, the sound of guns and cannons could not be covered up by his few words. Because of these words, Anderson

It also attracted sniper attacks, even though he didn't wear a general

He was convinced, but the person holding a monocular and still showing his head to give loud instructions must be the commander. After Anderson shouted, he remembered the enemies that the nobles said were specialized in sniping and killing officers. He immediately rolled over and fired more than a dozen munitions.

, whizzing past his head.

Anderson knew he was being targeted, so he immediately threw away the telescope, took off his hat, took the hat of a dead soldier next to him, put it on, wiped some ashes on his face, and then revealed his head again.

At this time, the snipers had lost their target and were aiming at him. At this time, the Type 56 machine gun had already been assumed. After all, this machine gun was only invented in the 20th century. Its vitality is not as powerful as the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun.

Stability is still far behind.

The tongues of fire were spitting out, so suppressed that the British soldiers could not even raise their heads to take aim. Even if they stood up suddenly to shoot, there was a great risk. Maybe their exposed bodies would be sawed by machine guns before they could squat down. Yes, that's right.

Saw, a tongue of flame hit it, and the whole body was separated. The miserable way of death made these elite British veterans feel a little uneasy. Anderson didn't know what to do. In his twenty-nine years, he had never

Never seen such a scene.

No matter how difficult the enemy is to fight, they will not be completely suppressed like now. He has thought of many ways, but the weapons are lagging behind, and no matter how he changes his moves, he will be restrained and crushed.

Pressure. It’s not like they didn’t cause casualties to the enemy.

However, very few people died on the spot. The vast majority of people were injured. Then a group of people holding black steel shields came up to protect a soldier with a red cross on his sleeve. Their injuries were treated in a short time, and then

Hidden in a suitable bunker.

That kind of black shield cannot be penetrated by their weapons at all. It makes a clanking sound when hit, but there are not even a few white marks. Even the helmets of ordinary soldiers, except for the Hall m819, often ricochet when hit.

Hall m1819 also requires excellent luck

He was so angry that he had to hit the helmet directly. On the entire battlefield, there were thousands of injured field brigade soldiers, but only a dozen of them actually died. These people were also unlucky, and two of them were shot by Hall.

, eleven were hit in the unprotected necks by stray bullets.

By the time the war started, Anderson's men had lost more than 8,000 men. Seeing that he was destined to lose if this continued, Anderson had no choice but to use all his heavy punches, and then began to prepare for the artillery attack. Night

Xiao Xiao's scouts had been waiting for the artillery to be exposed. Anderson told the artillery to move, and they were discovered. Unlike the British, they and their own artillery had walkie-talkies, and they contacted them directly and reported the shooting parameters.

The 75mm artillery and 82mm mortars have stopped firing, and have long been waiting for the shooting parameters of the Night Owl scouts. As soon as the parameters arrive, they immediately start to adjust the artillery to get a head start. When the Heavy Fist 1 starts to ignite, the shells have already been fired.

The gun was discharged and came first, completing the coverage shot ahead of schedule.
