Chapter Twenty-Six: Disobedient Marines

Xue Ziliang and his marines originally came here to exercise their combat skills and increase their combat experience, but today they fired three rows of guns outside the stockade, and then they watched in amazement as the villagers who charged in front of them retreated back to the stockade before they were fully loaded, let alone any hand-to-hand combat...... What is the use of such combat experience?

But his Marine Corps simply asked to join this operation, and to put it bluntly, he was raised by his stepmother. During the meeting, www.biquge.info he also saw that the army was full of deep malice towards such a marine corps formed by the navy occupying the resources of the army, and if it were not for the navy's responsibility for escorting the input and output of resources at this time, I was afraid that the people of the army would be afraid that they would speak ill of each other at the meeting, and they might even have to go all out in force.

The Marine Corps is an independent branch of the army in the United States, different from the Chinese Marine Corps, it is independent of the Navy, and is known as an army that is earlier than the history of the United States, its name Marine is derived from French, and it was established on November 10, 1775 with the assistance of the French. The status of the US Marine Corps is quite high, although it needs naval ship units to provide ship transportation, but it has independent combat capabilities, and even has their own flight units. The commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps is only responsible to the Secretary of the Navy, and in addition to amphibious assaults, he also protects embassies abroad, stands guard for the White House, and even the internal defense of the ships is responsible for them. Even though the United States is an independent branch of the five major services, and its status is even higher than that of other arms, the commander of the Marine Corps can be a member of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff like the commanders of other arms, and can also serve as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the supreme commander of the US military. As the workhorse of the U.S. Rapid Reaction Force, it is even the only U.S. military that can be mobilized by the president without congressional approval.

But these have been out of action since they arrived in Dongfang Port...... The formation of forces here is basically based on the Chinese model, and although the Chinese Marine Corps claims to be an independent service, no one has ever thought that it can be independent of the navy. So this time, since the beginning of the construction of the army, the navy and the army have not taken the existence of the Marine Corps seriously, anyway, the navy looks at the sea, and the army runs on the ground.

At that time, when Xue Ziliang and Wu Di proposed the establishment of the Marine Corps, Li Jieqi jumped out and seriously opposed the establishment of such a "useless" branch of the army. "What's the use of the Marines? The navy just needs to transport the troops of the army ashore, and if the navy has a marine corps, won't our army have to build an army and naval corps? In this way, learn from the Third Reich, the Air Force Panzer Forces, the Army Airborne Forces, the SS Air Force...... We can reconcile the command contradictions between the branches of the armed forces every day, and there is no need to command and fight. ”

If it weren't for Xue Ziliang's use of the Marines to protect the security of the trading posts set up by the commercial sector, and the fact that the Ministry of Trade could open trade points overseas and other reasons to persuade Gu Qingqian to vote for himself in the Council of Ministers, it is estimated that the establishment of this company is beyond the reach of the mirror.

Originally, Xue Ziliang wanted to let his two platoons of the Marine Corps serve as the main attacker, but of course he was squeezed out by Li Jieqi, on the grounds that the two platoons of the Marine Corps were too small in number, a total of more than 60 people, and if they rushed in and could not control the situation, it would be easy for the enemy to cause a large number of casualties through the complex terrain in the wall through street fighting. This point was naturally refuted by Xue Ziliang, but as the supreme commander present, Du Yande was also moved by Li Jieqi's words, and he didn't want to see the Marine Corps suffer heavy casualties in the first battle. After all, Du Yande is also a Marine Corps controller, and when he had no money, he was always eager to wear the Marine Corps uniform of Lao Mei, but when he had the money, he was busy with the things of crossing, and when he remembered to buy a Marine uniform, he was already on the beach in Annan, Wu Dynasty. Based on this feeling, Du Yande has always been quite concerned about the formation of the Marine Corps, so this time in terms of deployment, according to Li Jieqi's plan, the task of defending the south without attacking was handed over to the Marine Corps.

But seeing the martyrdom of the previous artillery position, Xue Ziliang was already anxious, and when he saw Xiang Yong coming out of the village to attack the artillery position, he immediately planned to meet Xiang Yong's attack. Who knew that Lin Shenhe would be able to shoot such a perfect shot and blow up these townsmen again. Then the two companies of the army fired at each other, and not even a single person in the entire stockade dared to raise their heads, and their plan to accumulate combat experience immediately fell through.

As a veteran for many years, Xue Ziliang is even absolutely clear about the importance of obeying orders, but in this situation, he no longer needs to shoot except for the three rows of guns, how can he reflect the necessity and strong combat power of the Marine Corps in the future? He looked at the dissatisfied eyes of his subordinates, this group of people in peacetime training with the motto "sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime" to motivate themselves, whether it is shooting or assassinating action, they are 100% dedicated, if this first battle can not exert their power, even if they don't say anything about seizing the budget for the Marine Corps in defense spending in the future, even if they just look at these soldiers, they will have a deep sense of guilt.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look left and right for a while, raised his hand to look at the walkie-talkie, which had been silent, took a deep breath, then turned off the walkie-talkie switch, and shouted at the first and second rows, "The Marines will always be loyal!" First and second rows, follow me! As he spoke, he drew his command knife in his left hand, swung it forward, and strode forward first.

It's not that Du Yande didn't see these Marines acting alone, but he didn't want to see the Marines go home after a soy sauce here, and he also hoped that they could show the heroism and tenacity of the Marines in the battle, so he also pretended to raise the walkie-talkie and tune to the Marines' channel and ordered: "Marines!" ”

The Marines went under the wall, but the southern wall was not blown up, and if they turned to the east wall, they would inevitably be stopped by the army's Qiu Ba. So the group of marines built a human wall under the wall, and Xue Ziliang was the first to climb the wall.

The wall of the wall was already empty, Ding Yong was completely empty, leaving only some dead bodies and the tiger squat cannon still on the southeast wall, Xue Ziliang took a few soldiers to check it, and found that there were still a lot of black gunpowder scattered on the side, and there were also a few powder kegs that had not been opened. The powder keg was actually a large bomb, and if it was ignited in battle, the explosion effect would be quite powerful, so he hurriedly called the soldiers to move the three or four powder kegs to the front of the village and pile them up. Because there was no fuse, and he couldn't swagger and squat at the door with a lighter to light the powder keg, when the soldiers were worried about how to light the big bomb, Xue Ziliang, who had often watched Westerns since he was a child, didn't say a word, directly took the senate rifle of a soldier next to him, and poked a big hole in the powder keg with a bayonet, and the black gunpowder powder began to leak out of the hole.

Only then did the two platoon commanders figure out what the company commander planned to do, and without saying a word, one of them lifted the powder keg and followed Xue Ziliang into the distance.

Everyone dodged a hundred meters away, and then Xue Ziliang used the zippo lighter he had always carried with him to ignite the gunpowder on the ground. I saw that the ignited gunpowder trail burned rapidly all the way forward, and then ignited the powder keg piled up at the gate of the village. With a loud bang, another huge black mushroom cloud rose into the air, and the door of the house that was blown up flew flat towards the village, and it took six or seven meters to land, and countless bricks, mud and sawdust were blown up into the air, and then crackled and fell within a radius of fifty meters, and all the people were startled by the effect of the explosion, and several Marine soldiers who were relatively close were shocked to sit on the ground, feeling that their internal organs were churning.

Xue Ziliang was not happy, but at this time, if he didn't go in, he was estimated to be blocked by the fast-reacting army soldiers, so he hurriedly pulled out the Glock pistol with his right hand and waved the command knife with his left hand, shouting: "The marines will always be loyal!" "The first one broke into the stockade.

Contrary to his expectations, the army soldiers were basically surrounding Wenfu under the leadership of the leading party at this time, and they had no time to care about their alone marines. Instead, the explosion startled them, causing a large crowd to rush out the back door without having time to intercept them.

To say that these natives are also sensitive enough, as soon as the poor relatives of the more than two hundred Wen families rushed out, they saw the four or five meters high wall next to them collapse several times, and then saw horses and cattle rushing out with carts towed, several army soldiers did not have time to react, and some vehicles crashed and fell aside, and for a while it was a mess.

Due to the close proximity between the two sides, most army soldiers did not dare to shoot at will for fear of injuring their own people, and it was mentioned in their code of conduct that if the enemy and their own people were mixed together, they should not shoot at will, so as to prevent the projectiles fired from penetrating the enemy's body and injuring their own people if they were too close. Some of the soldiers at the front did not have this concern, anyway, there was no enemy in front of them, and they opened fire on the enemy again and again. However, the distance was too close, and the chaotic common people were terrified when they saw the pirates shooting at them, and then they were instigated by the family members behind, and they rushed up with the not dense bullets, and fought with the army soldiers. Although the army is training on weekdays, it is not the main training item, and at this time, the rush into battle is inevitably a little caught off guard, and after a confrontation, more than a dozen soldiers and more than 60 civilians who swarmed up fell to the ground.

Wen Xinyi's convoy didn't care about the lives of these poor relatives at all, only knew that if they didn't leave now, they would definitely not be able to go, so they hurriedly rushed to the north as fast as possible. The family members drove the poor relatives to hold back the pirates' forces, trying to distance the two sides.

"The Marines are always loyal!" With a burst of shouting, Xue Ziliang led the Marines to go around the gap in the south and rushed out of the alley to the west, and suddenly surrounded these stubborn family members in the middle with the army soldiers.
