Chapter 261: The Battle of Roque Ailan (2)
Yang Dongfang already knew that he had wiped out a little bit of the weapons of Roque Ailan's garrison, and he was also taken aback when he saw this scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The troops at Hexi Station used breech guns, and the guards on the railway bridge were authentic breech guns, and the people who had just rushed over, Yang Dongfang had already judged from the sound of the guns that they were using Sharps, because the batch of munitions that killed Li Hongzhang in Shanghai was breech Sharps, and the sound of gunfire sounded familiar.
I never thought that a gun would shoot five or six bullets, and the firepower was sudden, which was a bit scary.
Looking at the past, Yang Dongzhu knew that this was not a machine gun of later generations, nor a submachine gun, but another transitional gun, a continuous bead gun, which could fire five to 16 rounds of copper loaded ammunition at a time.
"Kill them and pick up those guns." Yang Dongfang commanded, everyone aimed at the guys with the bead guns, at the beginning the guys were very fierce, after all, they could shoot for a long time, no need to repeat the loading, but after the fight, it was a little troublesome, had to stop, loaded the bullets, and the firepower was weak all of a sudden.
"Puff puff puff."
"Boom..!"
After concentrating firepower, he killed a company of American troops across the bridge at once, and the first to rush out to pick up the gun was Dou Dongdong, this guy was hit just now, and wanted to see what this gun was, and then rushed out of the 'hidden', and the tanuki also rushed ahead, and picked it up.
"Withdraw, the white ghost has crossed the bridge again."
Before anyone passed, but the gunshots on the opposite side rang out first, and the bullets flew over the bridge like a swarm of poisonous bees, hitting Dou Dongdong and the others, scaring several people to roll and jump, and ran back, all of them sweating.
"Oh, what kind of cannon is that on the other side, so fierce! Forty or fifty rounds of bullets in one go, we almost became a honeycomb. ā
Dou Dongdong and the others had palpitations, drilled back into the trench, glanced at the opposite bridge, and saw that it was a guy who shot them just now.
Yang Dongfang also put down the binoculars and muttered, "Damn, I thought it was Gatling?" What kind of monster is this, the iron pillar is full of holes, it can fire dozens of bullets at a time, it can't be the legendary cannon gun, right? ā
Gatling Yang Dongfang still knows that each barrel has a firing pin, which is a circular fire and has a revolver, which is the most typical machine gun in later generations, and the rate of fire mainly depends on the speed of a revolution. It's not the same thing as that thing.
But I've never seen this thing firing on the other side just now, the whole solid barrel, drilling countless holes in the solid barrel, the principle of shell excitation, all the bullets are shot out at once, and the large surface is extremely covered with damage.
The creativity is very good, a bit of a metal storm in later generations, but at this time the cliff is a freak, Yang Dongfang knows that in the era when anything new appears, there are always some deformed inventions, which are extremes and dead ends, and then disappear in the long river of history and fail to stand the test.
So seeing that it wasn't Gatling, he didn't care too much, and Chong Doudongdong said, "Come and show me what kind of gun this is." ā
Dong Dongdao was a little reluctant to prepare to study it, and Yin handed over the gun in his hand.
"Spencer? What the hell is this? Yang Dongfang took it, touched it, looked left and right, and found that there was no magazine, and there was no place to load the bullet, and it was definitely not a front-loading gun, so he was very curious.
Seeing another company of American troops crossing the bridge opposite, he raised his gun and hit it, immediately knocked down one, and then pulled the trigger, and there was a play, and the bullet continued to be discharged, until the four rounds were fired, and the sound of the empty warehouse was heard.
At this time, everyone fiercely greeted the American troops on the opposite side, and with the help of the prepared sandbag bunker made by Yang Dongfang, they effectively protected themselves and killed and injured the enemy.
After a while, there was a large area of American troops, and the marksmanship of the American troops was really not very good, and the firing was often not aimed at, and there was no tactical evasion action, and they charged very rigidly, or they were there with the help of corpses and the corners of the house, constantly firing, dead or alive, feeling that the bullets did not need money, just shooting, regardless of the results.
After Yang Dongfang fired all the bullets, he found that the butt was a little different, larger and wider than the ordinary butt, and more importantly, he found that the butt could be dismounted and broken.
"I see, the bullets are all on the butt, use the butt as a magazine, there are holes drilled inside the butt and a built-in spring, five rounds at a time, after shooting, the bullet can't be reloaded if it is not finished, it's really, a bit of a later magazine." Tut-tut, Yang Dongfang felt that the Americans were well equipped, and they were all ahead of the world.
Think about the fact that most countries still use breech guns, and a few two or three only use breech guns, and people are all copper shells, and they are also rich in minerals.
Thinking about this group of losers shooting at eight or nine hundred meters, they are really defeated to grandma's house.
After raising his hand, he fired five times in a row, instantly killing several outcropping American troops, causing a lot of applause.
"Bastard! How can the rebels on the opposite side be so powerful, I have already sent two companies, and they were crushed to the bridge, and they were killed in battle before they even passed, what kind of battle is this called, how did they do it, are they all sharpshooters, one shot at a time, it's too strange. "Juggins was so anxious that he walked back and forth in place, naturally he would not have thought that the tactics and cooperation of the New People's Army were n grades ahead of them.
In fact, don't look at the fact that both sides of the American Civil War used advanced equipment, but throughout the entire war, except for a few battles with technical content, most of the battles were fought with high equipment and low technology.
Or according to the Napoleonic era of the method of war for a decisive battle, the only trench battle is only used at the end of the day, the rest of the time is to open the formation to fight, or you attack and I defend, I defend you attack, no matter who attacks is to bombard with artillery, bombarded until the other side is defeated, and then let the infantry charge, clean up the mess.
"Pull the cannon over to me, and we'll knock them out."
"But General, this won't hurt Lieutenant Locke and them, and the entire West Station will be blown up."
Juggins' eyes glazed over: "I can't care so much, I'd rather blow up the opposite side into ruins, but also kill all this group of small rebels, and never let them occupy Hexi steadily, which will bring disadvantages to the future attack on Iohuazhou, and also increase our defensive strength, after all, we can't blow up the railway bridge." ā
"Boom, boom.
Artillery rang out in the east of the river, and eight-pound Napoleonic shells fell, and the Hexi railway station was suddenly opened, and a burst of dust flew, sand and gravel flew wildly, and in the smoke and artillery fire, wooden houses fell one after another.
"Boys, go on the offensive and clear the rebels from the south, victory is ours."
Just exploded a hundred shells, Yuggins this time sent a militia company and a volunteer company, the two companies were five meters apart, covered each other and rushed across the bridge, quickly pointed to the west end of the bridge, looked right and left, and found no target, then cautiously began to walk forward, secretly said in his heart, probably the rebels were killed by the shelling just now.
Under such a cannon, who can resist it, and if he doesn't die, he will take advantage of the chaos to escape.
After walking a hundred meters, they were about to let go of their hands and feet and look for the corpse of the New People's Army, when suddenly gunshots rang out from a distance of fifty or sixty meters in their ears, and dozens of grenades were thrown.
"Boom, boom, boom.!" (To be continued.) )
