Chapter 472: Xiao Gan who lost everything
Just after midnight, the Wild Wolf Army launched a surprise attack, and the first round of artillery and airship bombardment, the centurion and his subordinates on duty at the north gate were all killed.
So fast? Although Xiao Gan expressed his doubts, he still urgently dispatched 2,000 people from the east and west camps to make up for it.
In just a quarter of an hour, the north gate of Yanjing fell, and together with the two thousand reinforcements, it turned into a sea of fire.
The Wild Wolf Army occupied the north gate of the city as a bridgehead, aiming directly at the residence of the Left-behind Mansion 1,500 meters away, where there were about 100 armed guards.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Red Army had annihilated 2,100 men, taken the North Gate, and was now advancing towards the Left-behind Mansion, and could not let them succeed.
Xiao Gan was a little red-eyed, it was obvious that the wolf army was going to be in a wave and directly end his lair!
Beat! When life and death were on the line, they couldn't hesitate, so Xiao Gan's military orders were like rain, and tens of thousands of troops were dispatched together.
The 20,000 men in the large camp outside the north gate all went out of the camp and besieged the special combat team occupying the north gate from behind. The east and west inner camps rushed to the north gate at the same time, leaving some people to resist by relying on the layers of dwellings. 10,000 people from the south gate camp entered the city and pressed to the north gate, and the other 10,000 people were divided into two parts, left and right, and made up for the east and west inner camps.
Xiao Gan faintly divided Yanjing City into two parts, north and south, on the one hand, concentrating troops to besiege the north gate, and on the other hand, protecting the left-behind mansions in the southeast.
First of all, the five airships marched forward in a goose-shaped formation at an altitude of 300 meters and carried out indiscriminate bombing, bombing a bloody path on the ground at nearly 100 paces. The ground troops of the Wild Wolf Army advanced closely with the artillery fire, and at this speed, they could attack the Left-behind Mansion in less than half an hour.
In the face of the air superiority of the Wild Wolf Army, Xiao Gan found that although the airship was beyond the range of his own attack, it was not fast and could be dispatched calmly, but the ground troops following the airship were always a trouble.
Xiao Gan naturally launched a street battle, using his life to block the fierce assault of the wild wolf army, and at the same time forced the Beida Battalion to break through the north gate from behind, and be sure to pursue its infantry brigade.
Because of this order, the Blues finally fell into a state of no return.
The 20,000 cavalry of the Northern Battalion rushed to the north gate together, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw a row of thick gun muzzles above, flashing with a piercing cold light.
Machine gun emplacements!
The monkey moved the latest twenty-gun machine gun to the north gate, and when he saw the overwhelming cavalry rolling in, he snapped his fingers, "Fire!" ”
In an instant, tongues of fire pierced the night sky, pouring ammunition on the 20,000 cavalry.
The sound of the thimble striking in Katakata, the popping of gunpowder, and the clanging of bullet casings on the ground formed a wonderful movement in the monkey's heart. It's the melody of the celebration of victory, it's the rhythm of burning passion, and the word sea of blood is now a true portrayal.
Of the 20,000 horses, most of them fell into the death zone between 500 and 1,000 paces, and although hundreds of men and horses rushed to the city gate, they were also killed by the gunners of Chengtou Mountain.
At this time, the 10,000 elites of the Southern Battalion passed through the city and attacked the infantry brigade of the Wild Wolf Army.
Solve the infantry, the airships of the wolf army are insignificant, at most you use up the bombs, damage some houses, and the city will not be lost.
Then they saw some strange cars, and the Red Army made mobile houses out of heavy wooden planks, and the houses had many firing ports, and the infantry fired at them. Later generations will understand at a glance that this is a wood-like armored car!
Whether the Blues were slashing with cavalry swords or infantry archery, these "armored vehicles" did not react and continued to move forward, while the shooting holes continued to shoot deadly bullets.
In urban street fighting, rifles are more efficient than any cold weapon, especially in the face of a swarm of formations, the Red Army threw out a batch of improved fire thistles and exploded a large area. When the machine guns at the north gate stopped roaring, and when the airship hovered over the Liushou Mansion, the battle was decided.
This night, Xiao Gan lost all his chips, and tens of thousands of people took turns to charge, but they were all blocked by bullets, firetle, and armored vehicles. The entire Yanjing City is full of corpses, and the ghosts are crying and howling!
Xiao Gan was still immersed in entanglements again and again until the end of the deduction.
He has seen the musket, the power is not great, only a few dozen steps, even if the range damage of the thistle, it can't offset the cavalry's attack speed.
But how did such a perverted and strange thing as an armored car appear? And machine guns, twenty guns killed 20,000 horsemen, wouldn't it be too exaggerated?
Lin Chong walked over and said, "Let's go!" Go to the shooting range and see the machine guns and armored vehicles! ”
After finally feeling shallow on paper, Xiao Gan put down his cranky thoughts and followed Lin Chong to the shooting range.
First go to the armored car training ground, the armored car is covered with iron wooden armor 10 centimeters thick, completely protected from cold weapons. There are bearing runners underneath, and six wheels on both sides can ensure stable and fast movement. Normally, eight soldiers advance together, stop when they encounter the enemy, and hit the enemy through the firing hole, which is actually a wooden mobile fortress.
Xiao Gan nodded, such a mobile castle is usually disassembled into parts and boxes, and assembled and used in wartime, which is convenient and ingenious.
According to Lin Chong, the machine gun is a fool type, except for the operator's strength, quick reaction and good eyesight, there is no other requirement. As a shooting range instructor, it is natural to show off your archery skills in front of the guests.
Loaded with drums, the instructor began to show Xiao Gan the amazing machine gun shooting skills, continuous fire, range blockade, fire suppression, and of course, the best skills, machine gun shooting, one shot and one target, after three shots, three ten rings.
Everyone applauded together, and Lin Chong whispered, "You are using the machine gun as a sniper rifle, it's amazing!" "When the trigger of the machine gun is pulled, almost three or two bullets are thrown out at the same time, and it is not easy to control such an accurate shooter.
"Half a year ago, muskets needed ten breaths to fire again, but now a skilled hand can fire five shots in a row with just one breath. Two months ago, the machine gun was only sixty rounds a minute, we have made improvements, now it can reach ninety, maybe in another six months we can increase it to one hundred and twenty rounds per minute. You say that the Jurchen cavalry is invincible, but how much can he increase his lethality in half a year? ”
"Yanjing wargame deduction is just a game, don't take it to heart, but the rapid development of firearms is the general trend."
In the end, Lin Chong kindly let Xiao Gan experience the feeling of a machine gunner for a while, and played a drum, Xiao Gan was still unsatisfied.
This is a powerful force, the entire machine gun vibrated slightly in the sudden sound, and the target in front of it was torn to pieces in the metal storm, and Xiao Gan was the ruler and controller of this force.
didn't say anything, 45 million yuan of business was sold, and when he was leaving, Xiao Gan deliberately mentioned the deal of airships and machine guns, and was willing to pay a high price.
Lin Chong bluntly told him that in the case of the wolf army and friendly troops not completing the assembly, they will not be sold to the public. What's more, against the Jurchens, 10,000 firearms are no problem to protect themselves. Only an existential juncture has been encountered, and then it will be discussed separately.
Xiao Gan had no choice but to go back.
