Chapter 10: Heavy machine guns sweep bows and arrows

After all, this is the first time to engage the enemy on land, whether it is the crew sailors, or the military cadets who have participated in rigorous training in the German ** school, in the process of the approaching pirate crowd, lying in the position temporarily used by the obstacles, they all feel involuntarily nervous, everyone clenched the weapons in their hands, as long as they heard Hu Zhen's order to shoot, they opened fire together.

Jiang Yunfeng, who didn't have time to get familiar with the new weapons, handled a single-shot musket of the pirates, and the eight Chinese who followed him, some of them operated single-shot rifles, and some of them were not used to using firearms, but picked up the bows and arrows and spears thrown by the pirates.

Hu Zhen glanced at the entire team, his idea was to train the team in actual combat as soon as possible, so that his military team could grow rapidly, although his weapons were more than 30 years ahead of the world, but it would be unwise to confront the world's strongest European and American powers in the first battle, and the weapons of these pirates in front of him were messy, the training was insufficient, and the quality of personnel was even worse.

At this moment, Hu Zhen personally operated a heavy machine gun to aim at the slowly approaching group of pirates.

The pirates got closer and closer, and when they entered a range of tens of meters, they saw the pirates holding firearms, bows and arrows and a small number of single-shot rifles, most of them hunched over, their faces with swarthy skin and snow-white teeth were clearly visible, and their eyes were staring nervously at their own positions.

A pirate leader who rushed to the forefront, seeing that his side had stepped into the 30-meter distance of the opponent, and the opponent's number was very small, less than half of his own, but he didn't know what was going on and didn't fire, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, thinking that as long as his formation rushed through this short distance, he could completely overwhelm the opponent with absolute numerical superiority, so he gave a loud order to order the pirate group to charge.

When the pirate group moved, Hu Zhen pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun, and at the same time shouted violently: "Fire!" ”

Light and heavy machine guns, rifles, recoilless guns, and mortars burst into flames, sweeping through the crowd of pirates, and in an instant, the crowd of pirates was drowned in a dense wave of guns and shells, and fell in pieces like wheat being cut.

After firing a bullet, Jiang Yunfeng forgot to reload the bullet, he looked at the light and heavy machine guns that were continuously fired in the hands of Hu Zhen and others, the rifle that continued to shoot after pulling the bolt, the mortar with a trajectory almost vertically hanging into the sky, and the recoilless gun that breathed fire at both ends, his mouth was dislocated in shock, and it took a long time before he said: "There is such a sharp weapon in the world!" ”

However, in just one minute, the pirates lined up in a dense formation were beaten to the point of flesh and blood, because the distance was too close, many people were interrupted by heavy machine guns, all kinds of black and cyan organs were sprinkled all over the ground, and the red blood was splashed everywhere, like a bewitching flower blooming, and the ground was red and red.

Hu Zhen stopped firing from the heavy machine gun, and felt that there was really no need to waste too many bullets in such an opponent, so he raised his hand and shouted: "Stop, don't waste bullets!" ”

In an instant, the sound of gunfire stopped, and only the screams, wails, and panicked shouts of the pirates remained.

The Chinese first stared blankly at the huge casualties caused by the guns they operated to the pirates, and then they were silent for a while before a huge wave of cheers broke out, and even the sailors on the Tiger Yang and the Shiyang saw it and jumped and cheered.

The pirates who were not hit flew away nine days at this time, knowing that no matter how numerous they were, they would never be the Chinese opponents on the opposite side, and most of the people who were not injured were stunned, and only a small number of people who were not stunned quickly turned their butts and fled.

"Don't fire, let them run! We'll just chase after us! Hu Zhen knew that the pirates had completely lost their hearts at this time, and letting them flee would bring fear to other pirates who did not arrive at the battlefield like a plague, so there was no need to waste ammunition.

"Rush!" The Chinese, armed with their bayonet rifles, rushed behind the pirates, driving them towards their lair like ducks.

Sure enough, fear is contagious, all the uninjured pirates jumped up and threw the weapons in their hands and ran, those injured pirates also desperately struggled to escape, there were several pirates with stomach injuries dragging the long intestines leaking out of the stomach to escape, and soon they would be torn off by others or their own feet, screaming in pain, but they didn't dare to stop, so they had to drag the broken intestines and crawl and escape......

When Hu Zhen saw this terrifying scene, he shook his head, and only soft-hearted could he order these mortal pirates to be replenished with a bullet or a few bayonets, so as to mercifully let them end their suffering in the world and flee to Elysium.

Seeing that everyone was eager to rush into the pirate group and engage in hand-to-hand combat, Hu Zhen hurriedly told everyone: "Don't rush too quickly, just follow the pirate's ass and rush into the pirate's lair unhurriedly!" ”

Sure enough, many pirates rushed to help along the way, but when they saw that their accomplices were being chased and ran for their lives, they quickly turned around and fled.

Hu Zhen commanded the Chinese to rush into the pirate's lair without much effort, and the pirates did not dare to stop and resist in their lair.

The pirates' lairs were extremely rudimentary, mostly mud and thatched houses, and for some reason, the pirates set fire to the houses as they fled.

Of course, Hu Zhen would not command everyone to extinguish the fire, but asked Jiang Yunfeng to lead everyone around the fire and go straight to the place where the Chinese slave laborers were imprisoned.

The place where the Chinese were imprisoned was a leaky grass shed area enclosed by a wooden fence, and the pirate force guarded the door, and more than 300 Chinese slave laborers ate and drank here, and the stench was terrible.

At this time, the pirate guards also joined the ranks of the escape, and more than three hundred Chinese did not know what was going on outside, and were about to break through the wooden fence to come out to take a look, but found that Jiang Yunfeng rushed in with two or three hundred Chinese.

Looking at the ragged Chinese slave laborers with the smell of their bodies, many of them were still tied with ropes, and some of the wounded people were wriggling with small white worms, and everyone cursed bitterly: "These shit pirates, treat the Chinese like this, destroy them!" ”

Hu Zhen was also sad in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and untie the ropes for the bound compatriots, heal their wounds and send them out of this place to the ship!" ”

After rescuing the three hundred and fifty-seven Chinese without leaking, Hu Zhen ordered to concentrate all his efforts on searching the pirates' lair.

Everyone searched all over the pirate's lair, and found more than 9,000 taels of silver, 170 taels of gold, and a batch of copper coins and banknotes from which country they looted, and there were mountains of food and worn-out clothes, but for Hu Zhen, it was useless at all.

"What a bunch of poor and crazy pirates, just a little bit of money!"

Hu Zhen didn't care about this money at all, but the flesh of mosquito legs was also meat, so he unceremoniously ordered that it should be moved to the ship immediately, and at the same time the four bronze cannons on the fort were also managed to be moved to the ship. These ten tons of bronze were cut, which is considered a good material for making mechanical items.

Seeing that the work in the pirate's lair was all done, Hu Zhen was about to command everyone to return to the ship, when a sentry in charge of lookout came to report: "I have found that a large number of unknown forces are approaching here!" ”

Hu Zhen hurriedly ran to the high ground and used a telescope to observe.

I saw that the pirates who had fled were chased back by a crowd of black oppression, and the pirates who were physically exhausted and fell behind were instantly overwhelmed by the crowd of black oppression.

"Ahh It turned out to be these people! Everyone didn't understand what the sacredness was, but Hu Zhen looked at the large black and green flag, which was not uncommon in the TV news of later generations, and he immediately understood.

Hu Zhen didn't want to clash with these savage cannibal tribes, and ordered everyone to withdraw to the ship quickly, but it was too late, and a cavalry of the tribesmen had already bypassed the pirate's lair and inserted into the road leading to the dock, cutting off the connection between the Huyang, Shiyang, and the Chinese in the pirate's lair.

Hu Zhen just wanted to fight the pirates, train the team and quickly set out on the road back to the Far East, but now an unknown army has emerged, its momentum is fierce, and as soon as it arrives, it will cut off the connection between the Chinese armed forces on land and the ships on the sea.

Does this have to be fought? (Readers, please raise your hand to collect and vote for a little recommendation!) Thanks! )
