Chapter 493: Retreat without firing a shot

"Are you ready?"

"Dudu Dudu ......" Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Mao Sanbai's mouth unconsciously began to pout, and Yu Zhiqian slapped him on the head: "Problem, it's a group, right?" I ask you is the mortar ready? ”

"Ah, head, it's ready, just waiting for your orders!" Mao Sanbai coughed lightly, relieving his embarrassment.

"Ready, I want to give them a round of fire coverage, shoot quickly, ten rounds!"

"Roger!"

Mao Sanbai quickly passed on Yu Zhiqian's order: "Shoot quickly, ten consecutive shots, the Mexican position in front of the target, put!" ”

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

“……”

Five 60 mm mortars, ten rapid shots are 50 shells, enough for the Mexican police to drink a good pot.

At the Mexican police position, he heard a dull thunder in the sky, intermittently, and looked at his companion with some curiosity: "What sound?" ”

"I don't know!" The other policeman shook his head, the voice he had heard for the first time.

However, soon a Mexican police responded, this kind of voice was heard when he was a soldier, and he even vaguely remembered the scene of that year, and shouted: "It's shelling, it's shelling, evading, evading, it's shelling!" ”

"Shelling?" The policeman shouted desperately, but the Mexican police still did not react, the most they usually heard was the sound of gunfire, the sound of pistols was especially common, and occasionally the sound of some rifles could be heard, there was no chance to hear the sound of artillery at all, and some people heard the sound of shelling for the first time.

"Get down, get down, get down, don't stand, get down, damn it, damn it, it's shelling, you guys get down!"

Several Mexican policemen who had served as soldiers yelled, hoping that their comrades-in-arms could hear his words and see his hurried appearance, and some Mexican policemen immediately fell down, but some of them still did not react and remained in place.

"Damn, you don't want to die!"

The dull sound of the shelling had become very high-pitched, and the former Mexican policeman knew that the shells were starting to fall, and listening to the sound, the landing point was around them, but there were still people standing.

"It's the sound of cannonballs!"

When the shells began to fall, the temporary commander of Mexico, the seventy-year-old general, finally heard the sound of the shells behind his ears and yelled in surprise: "Shelling, get down!" ”

"Shelling!"

"Yes, grilled chicken, get down!" After finishing speaking, the seventy-year-old man lay directly on the ground, very flexible, this old man knows very well that if he falls like this, he can go to the hospital for rescue, if he is hit by a shell, then he is really dead!

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

“……”

The tail notes of the five sharp air piercing sounds became longer and longer, and finally five 60-millimeter shells fell into the Mexican police position.

"Boom!"

A shell landed in a low-lying area, where there were six or seven Mexican policemen lying on their stomachs, and two who didn't know what was happening, were standing curiously looking at the Mexican policemen around them!

After the shells fell, a large hole was blown out of this low-lying place, and the Mexican policemen who were lying around just now, as well as the Mexican policemen who were standing, were all killed, and the small pit was full of corpses.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Five shells fell almost at the same time, and the group of Mexican policemen who blew up were a little confused, and in the first round of shelling, this group of Mexican policemen had no experience, and thirty or forty people were killed, and some even stood in place and watched the shells fall beside them.

"Help!"

"God forbid!"

"Which of you will save me!"

"My legs, ah, my legs!"

Those who went out and were killed, mortar shrapnel splashing had a wider range of damage, some Mexican policemen who were a little farther away were hit by shrapnel, unlucky vital points were inserted into shrapnel and died directly, and some were alive screaming in pain.

"Go to the crater to dodge, don't stay put, go to the crater to dodge, the shells will not fall on the same shell!"

Some experienced Mexican policemen loudly reminded their companions that although this sentence has long been proven and is not entirely correct, the possibility of a shell falling into the same crater is indeed relatively small, and it can indeed play a certain role in avoiding shells on the battlefield.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

……

The Mexican police on the ground still remembered how to react, and the sharp sound of breaking the air was remembered above their heads, and this group of frightened Mexican police officers immediately began to look around for cover without any warning, or just lay down on the spot, no one was standing stupidly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……”

Five more shells fell on the Mexican police position, one of which fell directly next to the machine gun position, the machine gun position that the Mexican police had managed to build could not stop the 60-millimeter mortar at all, and was directly blown up, and several Mexican policemen around the machine gun position were not spared and were taken away by the bombs in a wave.

The two rounds of shelling seriously hit the confidence of the Mexican police, and the group of police officers who were ambitious enough to kill Yu Zhiqian and others before, but now they are thinking about how to survive, it is really terrifying.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

“……”

The nightmare of this group of Mexican police officers was not over, and there was a sharp sound of breaking the air above their heads, the first time the Mexican police were overwhelmed, the second time they were frightened, and the third time, the group of Mexican police began to feel the horror.

Later, the surviving Mexican policeman wrote in his memoirs: "It was a nightmare day, I will always remember that day, my countless friends, comrades-in-arms left me on that day, they were still eating with me at noon, they were still chatting with me in the afternoon, but in that short period of less than a minute, they all left me!" ”

"That sharp, long tail sound, like the piercing sound you make when you slash a knife through the smooth tabletop, like the scythe of death, every time it sounds, it will take the lives of a group of people, I trembled and lay on the ground, I didn't dare to look up, I heard little Kasha's cry for help, but I didn't dare to save him, I was just a coward, lying on the ground, even if the enemy stepped on my body, I didn't move, I thought I was dead!"

The position in the rear of the Mexican police, there is also a position, which is the position of the Mexican Navy, where the Mexican Navy soldiers are hit, and they act as reserves, as for why the regular soldiers are put in the back as a reserve, and let the police go to the front line to meet the enemy, this kind of thing involves something else.

"What's going on up ahead?" A major in the Navy heard a distant noise and stepped out of his room.

"Damn, it's shelling!" After the major came out, he heard the sound of falling shells in the air, and although the Mexican Navy had no combat effectiveness, it would participate in some military exercises every year and be able to distinguish some artillery sounds.

"God, the front line is being shelled, those policemen are going to be unlucky, prepare us to support them!"

"Sir, the general hasn't given an order yet, let's rush forward like this, maybe!"

A staff officer beside him whispered, the meaning is very simple, you can't go up, many things are difficult to explain after you go up, this is not a simple operation to arrest Yu Zhiqian.

The Veracruz State Council actually did not believe in the information sent by Silva about how powerful Yu Zhiqian and others were, and they did not even believe how many casualties there were in the army, but only tried to cover up their incompetence with the strength of the enemy.

The struggle for power between the local states and the central government is happening every day in Mexico, and the reason why the Veracruz Council decided to arrest Yu Zhiqian and others is entirely because they feel that the people above can't handle it, and if they can do it themselves, doesn't it mean that their side is more capable? Suppress the top and win capital.

And the naval forces are completely driven to the shelves, who makes them a small number of regular troops in Veracruz? However, their participation is only responsible for dealing with emergencies, after all, the army belongs to the navy and cannot be divided into credit.

The military is just an extension of politics, and many times, it is not that the enemy is too strong, but that the teammates are too stupid, as now, the Mexican police have begun to collapse, and some Mexican police officers have been so frightened that they have begun to flee backwards.

More than a thousand policemen, just because of dozens of shells, chose to start running for their lives before the battle began, with one person taking the lead, the rest began to retreat, and finally more and more people fled backwards.

"General, let's retreat, our front has collapsed!"

A high-ranking officer of the police station next to the old general was lying on the ground, secretly looking up at the old general, but he was shouting frantically in his heart: "Old guy, why don't you leave, you are not afraid of death, I am afraid of death!" ”

"Retreat? Have you retreated before you started fighting! ”

The old general pointed at the police officer's nose and scolded, but when he looked up and saw that all the people were running backwards, he knew that the general trend had gone, and sighed: "Why don't you let the navy people be on the front line, they are there, at least they can fight a dozen, in case they win!" Now retreat without firing a shot, it's too embarrassing! ”

As soon as the words fell, a gunshot rang out beside him, and the old general turned his head to look over, only to see a policeman's weapon in his hand misfire, hitting his leg, lying on the ground clutching his thigh and screaming in pain.

Yu Zhiqian saw the appearance of the Mexican position in the distance, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he had long expected that the result would be like this, the recruits were afraid of artillery, the veterans were afraid of the number, and these Mexican policemen were not even as good as the newcomers on the battlefield.

At the very least, ordinary Mexican recruits have undergone some professional training and have undergone some baptism of empty ammunition, while these police officers are completely first.
