"Gatling reloads...fires...suppresses the enemy's offensive rhythm."
Wang Huaiyuan, who had been authorized by Xiao Letian, finally stood in the position of commander again. Returning to the battlefield made him inexplicably excited, and his voice trembled a little.
Two of the four Gatlings are arranged in the southwest and northwest positions. The heavy ammunition boxes and soil have built a small shooting position. The calmest shooters have begun to crank the cranks, and the unique copper sound of Gatlings is heard again. resounded across the battlefield.
The sound of shooting was louder than the sound of wind and rain. The power of heavy machine gun bullets was not comparable to that of ordinary rifles. Even if the enemy on the opposite side was holding a two-inch thick hardwood shield, the bullets could easily tear it into pieces.
Puff puff, pieces of sawdust and flesh and blood flew across the entire Huai Army position. The enemies who were shot fell down one by one, and all the officers were dumbfounded.
The Gatling shooters and the infantry phalanx cooperated extremely well. The rain of bullets fired continuous barrages in the gaps between the military formations. It was like the God of Death hiding behind the new army formations, secretly waving his sickle, and harvesting enemies with every intensive shot. Hundreds of lives.
"What kind of weapon is this, God, what on earth is this..." the desperate officer roared, but the next second the bullet hit his chest.
"Retreat...enter the ditch to take shelter..." The timid one is retreating.
"Charge forward and get entangled with the enemy..." Another fanatic launched a Jedi assault.
At this moment, the entire Huai Army command system was thrown into chaos by the two Gatlings. At that moment, the lower-level officers forgot the original battle plan and actually fought on their own.
"Damn...damn...damn..." Li Hongzhang finally threw the telescope. "What kind of weapon is this? What did Xiao Letian get from the foreigners? Is this the kind of rapid-fire gun that Mailer said?" "
"Let the brothers retreat into the ditch temporarily and reorganize the army to prepare for the second round of attack... I don't believe it. Xiao Letian doesn't have enough bullets..."
The trumpet for a temporary retreat sounded, and countless Huai soldiers began to jump back into the canals and retreat into the woods to hide. The wounded soldiers were bandaging their wounds. If they were seriously injured and could not be cured, their comrades would give them a knife to make them suffer less. For a time, the Huai army's The atmosphere suddenly condensed to freezing point.
Xiao Letian carefully observed the changes on the battlefield. He was not dazzled by the temporary victory, but there was a chill in his heart at the thought.
"They are indeed a group of countrymen. Death not only did not scare them, but they also wanted revenge out of thin air... No wonder the Hunan Army and the Huai Army were able to dominate in the late Qing Dynasty. This kind of combat effectiveness relying on the blood of the countrymen has already It was the most effective means of unity in the Middle Ages..."
Xiao Letian was right. On the battlefield where the gunfire stopped, there were faint sounds of ghost cries from the Huai Army's hiding place. It was countless Huai Army soldiers paying homage to their relatives.
"You bitch...why are you dead...what will your blind old lady do...wuwuwu, don't let your soul go far away, watch your brother avenge you..."
"Sanxi, you bastard still owes me money for a drink, wuwuwu... Brother swears, I will send you home exactly the money you spent on burial..."
Countless Huai Army soldiers lay in the mud, crying over the corpses on the battlefield. There were their relatives and their compatriots. Seeing their brothers die in front of them, they were filled with the anger of revenge. .
In the drainage ditch, a general held a sharp dagger and pressed it firmly against the heart of a wounded soldier. Hot tears rolled down with the rain: "Niece, uncle, I'm sorry for you... I wanted to The person who brought you out to get promoted and make a fortune ended up losing your life here..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
At this time, the brother next to him rushed over and grabbed his hand and shouted, "Boss Huang, don't kill Xiaodai, that is the only root of your Huang family... You have to leave a queen for your family..." The soldiers rushed over and cried bitterly.
Mr. Huang shook his head, pointed at the bullet holes in Xiaodai's abdomen and thighs and said, "It's hopeless. It's hopeless. There is a blood vessel on the inside of a person's thigh. If it is broken, he will die... I can't let him No more suffering.”
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. Half of his body's strength was put on the dagger, and the sharp dagger pierced his nephew's heart.
"Ah, thief God... I want revenge." A wolf-like howl sounded on the battlefield.
Li Hongzhang in the woods in the distance also began to cry. These Huai warriors were all his own soldiers, and many of them were relatives of the same clan. His heart trembled if one of them died.
But after all, he is the commander-in-chief of an army. Since ancient times, he has neither mercy nor justice and wealth. If he is not ruthless, he will not want to be a high official.
"The sad soldiers must win, the sad soldiers must win, pass on the order... The enemy only has two rapid-fire guns, and they can't control such a large battlefield. The next time they attack, the whole army will press forward, and they will fight with the enemy. I don't believe in the quick-fire guns." Being able to fire without distinguishing between friend and foe... tells the brothers that if you want revenge, you have to rush forward with all your might."
After a while, the sound of horns carrying orders came one after another in the Huai army formation, and the encouragement before the charge was endless: "Revenge... revenge... revenge..." The roar was as thunderous as earth-shattering.
"It tastes good, it tastes good..." Luo Huo raised his hand and took out the command knife. "Brothers, today's battle was interesting. I smelled a bit of the powerful European army. The enemy will definitely go crazy later. If you do this, Good preparation for physical combat.”
Sima Yun also became nervous, "Well, it is indeed a strong army. After such heavy casualties, the morale of the army has not dissipated at all. It even has a bit of a feeling that the soldiers must win. This is really a country party. Brother and brother are here to avenge their death." , If I die, my son will fight for his life."
"I hate this kind of unreasonable country party the most."
In stark contrast to Sima Yun and Luo Huocheng, the Japanese sword-striking team members, Nohira Tai and Hyōtaro, had just wiped out the two hundred Hunan Army. The brutal close-quarters killings had aroused their blood.
The four hundred swordsmen were holding swords and wiped the blood on the blades with the rain from the sky. The grinning warrior showed his white teeth and smiled cruelly like a wild wolf under the full moon.
Nohira suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth, letting the rainwater fill his mouth, and then drank the rainwater like a strong drink. "Happy, happy... I'd like another bowl of human blood."
"Hahaha... Our swords chopped off the heads of the French in Europe and killed the lives of the Austrians. Do you know how the samurai of the four countries and nine states now call us respectfully?"
"The Western Barbarians, we are the only samurai in Japan who have defeated foreigners... We are the most elite Western Barbarians, and both the emperor and the general will know our reputation."
"Where does our glory come from?" Nohira yelled, and then the four hundred Ba Dao players shouted in unison, "The glory belongs to Prime Minister Xiao... The blood proves our loyalty, on board, on board, on board."
The crazy long live roar of the Japanese samurai also intensified the long live roar of other Ryukyu and Han soldiers on the entire battlefield, "The new army will never be defeated...Long live, long live, long live."
Xiao Letian's blood was boiling at this moment. His new army finally had their own pride and glory, and they had condensed a terrifying military soul.
In the past, Xiao Letian needed to be on the battlefield in person, and he had to use his actual actions and high-spirited slogans to inspire them, otherwise the morale of the army would not be stable, but now, without saying a word, the spirit of a strong army will force them to move forward bravely. Until victory is achieved.
"Well done, these are all my seeds. If the new army wants to expand in the future, it will rely on these Tie Zhengzheng's seeds to pass on..." Thinking of this, Xiao Letian roared.
"Brothers, kill these blocking dogs... I will take you to the capital for a military parade, and we will go to the Palace of Supreme Harmony for a military parade."
"Kill." A bright bolt of lightning cut the sky from east to west. More than 3,000 people on both sides suddenly burst into fanatical roars, and the second killing began again.
The dark clouds like pot lids seemed to be getting lower, and the people on the ground could not breathe. The Thunder God and the Thunder Mother hid in the clouds and looked at the killings on the ground with compassion, and used the thunder and lightning in their hands from time to time. Help them out.
Looking down from the sky, the Huai army rushing out of the canals and dense forests surrounded the new army like a pocket, but the mouth of the pocket could not be closed. The opening of the pocket formation was where Xiao Letian was.
The Huai army also understood that it would not work without tightening their pockets, so Xiao Letian's main formation was the one that invested the most troops in this charge.
To the south of Xiao Letian's main formation is the Ba Dao team's main formation, and to the north is Luo Huo's main formation, and to the west is defended by Sima Yun. Two thousand Huai troops pressed up from the north, west, and south, and it was dark. Spread on the ground.
"Revenge... revenge... revenge..." Huai army shouted slogans of revenge while charging.
"Long live the new army, long live the prime minister." The new army fired desperately while shouting "Long live the new army."
The intensive firing of rifles was also mixed with the chug of four Gatling guns. The gunfire connected on the New Army position, mowing down the charging Huai army in rows.
But at this time, the Huai army was already crazy. With their red eyes, they only had the thought of revenge. No matter how many brothers fell in a pool of blood around them, their charge would not stop.
"Speed up the charge...take revenge." Mr. Huang, who killed his nephew with his own hands, led his team into the new army's main formation first. He chopped two Mausers to pieces with his round sword on the spot. The shooting position suddenly became chaotic.
"Good job." Li Hongzhang slapped his thigh excitedly, "Just fight like this, one life for one life, even two lives for one life, just keep fighting like this..."
The black crowd slapped on the New Army's position like waves. The blue New Army's main formation also showed its bayonet array at this moment, resisting the enemy's attack like a reef.
"New Army, bayonets on... Strictly keep attack records... Let them know what it means to be the strongest army in the world."
"Shoulders shoulder to shoulder, brothers rely on each other...the first row lunges...the second row pounces...Brothers teach them a lesson and let them know what combat discipline is."
"The Tai Sword Formation... three consecutive cuts... roar... ha, roar... ha."
