About 300 Independence troops swaggered past McGiddy and their outpost. All the people in the outpost came out of it. They all smiled innocently and harmlessly at the soldiers of the Independence Army who passed in front of them, with their hands free.

The soldiers didn't look at the black dogs, and they continued to walk in front of them without a word. They knew that these black-skinned dogs looked harmless to a human and animal now, and once upon a time they harmed the common people, even more vicious than the British devils. The only reason why they appear so tame today is that the revolutionary people have guns in their hands.

"If the people do not have a shotgun in their hands, they are ferocious wolves; Once we picked up the shotgun, they were all pugs. So, without the people's army, there is nothing for the people! Looking at the security forces who showed a wagging tail and begging for pity, many soldiers couldn't help but think of this sentence they learned when they were studying politics.

But this is not the time to sigh, there are still combat missions ahead.

The soldiers of the Independence Army kept walking past the outposts of the "security forces". Only a few people left the line and walked towards the "security forces" standing there.

At first glance, Roy, the commander of the outpost, recognized it as Edward, the leader of the local team.

"Captain! How can you be here today? Roy, the commander of the outpost, hurriedly greeted him, nodding his head and saying.

"You saw it all?" Edward pointed to the troop road as he passed.

"Yes, yes." Roy didn't understand what Edward meant, but based on his experience with the British, whether he understood it or not, he would have said "yes" first.

"What a! Yes, yes, yes. Edward said, "You know what you're just going to do, don't you?" ”

"I don't know, I don't want to know, I don't dare to know." Roy hurriedly said. Is this kind of thing something that can be known casually? Wouldn't it be a hassle if you knew too much?

"I'm not going to hide it from you, we have important military operations. We're afraid that as soon as we're gone, you'll report to the British......" said Edward.

"Captain, how can I be, brother, I'm also Irish. Don't look at me in this black dogskin, but I have an Irish heart in my heart. How can we do such a conscienceless thing. Isn't it true that everyone said? ”

Naturally, the other "security army" soldiers hurriedly said that they were all genuine Irish who supported Irish independence.

"Captain, you see, you haven't dealt with us once or twice, can you still trust me, brother? Brother, when did I lie to you? ”

"Come less, Lao Tzu just can't trust you. The batch of gunpowder you gave Lao Tzu last time was completely wrong! Therefore, today Lao Tzu and his brother are staring at you here. Don't go there, just stay here, and when it starts over there, Lao Tzu will naturally let you go. Edward Road.

"That's it? What is this? Everybody is sitting here, and we're not going to mess with it. Roy said to his soldiers. Then he turned around and said to Edward, "Captain, the gunpowder thing, it's really not me who cheated everyone. How dare I? It's really given to us by those British, and TMD is a defective product. You really don't blame me for this. But Captain, I can't watch you suffer, can I. Next month, I'll give you two more guns, and you think this matter will be settled, okay? ”

The troops of the Independence Army continued to advance, and soon the railway line appeared in front of them. Along the railway line, there is a barbed wire fence about a hundred meters on each side, and inside the barbed wire fence is a minefield. At intervals, there is a fortress. These forts were relatively simple, and their main role was to delay the Independence Army's offensive and buy time for reinforcements to arrive.

As for the reinforcements, the fastest response was naturally the armored train. In general, as long as the British troops in the fortress were able to hold off the Irish for half an hour, the British armored train would have arrived. Each armored train had four guns and could carry more than three hundred infantry. Most of the time, that's enough to turn the tide of battle.

At this time, as soon as the British in the bunker spotted the Independence Army, they hurriedly called the nearest station and asked them to send an armored train to support them immediately.

The Independence Army immediately began to form and prepare for the attack. They first fired smoke grenades from grenadiers at the side of the British fort to block the view of those British. At the same time, the combat sappers quickly destroyed the barbed wire fence with blasting canisters under the cover of smoke grenades.

At this time, the grenadiers from the British side also hit. Although smoke grenades affected their aiming, the British had already made lattices and conducted test firings in the area. In addition to this fort, in fact, a little further on the other side of the railway, the British had one or two hidden observation points, through which they could report the location of the Independence Army, and then the British grenadiers could fire blindly. Therefore, although the smoke bombs caused some interference to the firepower of the British army, the firepower of the British army was still quite effective.

So this grenadier knocked down eight or nine Independence Army fighters. However, the grenadier is limited, so it still can't suppress the Independence Army.

After the barbed wire fence was destroyed, the Independence Army fired demining rockets and quickly carved a passage through the minefield - since the French forced the way with bumper boats, the level of weaponry of the Independence Army has obviously increased.

And at this time, the five cannons were also ready for firing. These cannons have a significantly longer range than grenadiers, and they are significantly more penetrating and destructive to things like pillboxes than recoilless guns. So as soon as they started shooting, the British pillboxes were immediately suppressed.

The Independence Army took the opportunity to rush forward, and then the British in the bunker held it up with a stick and a white shirt tied to it.

After taking the bunker, everyone began to dismantle the railroad tracks—these things can be of much use when they are taken back. On the other side, the artillerymen began to change the barrels of the two cannons and pull them a little further back, while some of them camouflaged the cannons with leaves or something. At this time, a black column of smoke rose in the distance - it was the arrival of the British armored train.

"Don't worry, comrades, that thing is just looking powerful, and it can't withstand our cannon at all. If you don't teach them a lesson, they really think how good they can fight. Well, I emphasize again, after a while the train slowed down, the 1st and 2nd firing power cars, and other artillery fired troop carriers with armor-piercing anti-personnel shells. ”
