With the air cover of helicopters, the greatest threat to the ground forces were artillery and Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns. Although this is still the Qing Dynasty, foreign countries have been equipped with these so-called "bead bullets".

The speed of nearly 600 rounds per second did a lot of damage to the Qing army and the Boxers, although there were not many equipment. This is one of the reasons why the Qing Dynasty had such a great advantage in military strength and was beaten so badly.

This is nothing for the Pingshan Army, the big Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun is incomparable with the modern one, and there is also air power, a rocket is high-end.

The most important thing in air support is the artillery of the foreign coalition army, which must be destroyed, and the most important thing is that the coalition troops are using poison gas bombs at this time. The Hirayama Army was not yet equipped with gas masks, and if a few shots were fired, the casualties caused would be enough to distress.

More than 20,000 members of the coalition army have left Tianjin and gone to the capital, and a small number of left-behind troops are stationed in Tianjin's capital Yamen, and the zero-hour command post is also here.

In the capital, in the outer city, the siege of the coalition army has already begun, and the defenders of the city are also desperately resisting. But the firepower of the coalition forces was too strong, and it was obvious to see the weakness of the soldiers defending the city.

Coalition Command. "Report to General Seymour, there is a call from Tanggukou in Tianjin, there is an enemy attack, and the Dagu Fort has been captured." After the guards handed the urgent telegram to Seymour, they saluted and withdrew.

"What?? How so? What the hell is going on, is it possible that the Boxers are fighting back? ”

Seymour looked at the telegram, a little unclear why, it is said that the Boxers have been dispersed, the part of the Qing army that rebels has been defeated, and there will be no more decent troops to attack them.

"Could it be reinforcements from the sea? The Qing State has already let their governor enter King Jingqin, could it be a coastal governor... ”

The French major general, Frey, said with some speculation. In the Qing Dynasty, such an army would come, and all governors across the country would send troops. Frey was clearly a pair of Qing Dynasty. Someone who knows a little bit about it, and makes inferences from this.

"No, no, we have warships at sea, and there are no troops near Tianjin. If it is a little farther away, it will also be intercepted by warships at sea, and it will be impossible to break through the defense line of the patrol fleet. ”

Tehap of the Ottoman army immediately denied that although his country had sent a small number of troops, he had only sent one warship. But that doesn't affect him from being part of the coalition.

"Don't worry too much, with the support of naval artillery, the Dagu Fort will soon be recaptured, these Qing soldiers can't do anything, let the troops in Tianjin deal with it, the capital is the most important thing, after taking the capital first, if you need to divide the troops back, it's too late."

Chaffee of the U.S. military is much more indifferent, from the previous counterattack of the Boxers. Understood as another time, then the matter is still not serious.

Although this will put pressure on the rear of the coalition forces, as long as it is controlled within a certain range, it is believed that the garrison left in Tianjin will solve it. For the time being, the capital can't pull away here, even if it's serious, wait for the capital. Looking back, these Boxer miscellaneous soldiers are still easy to solve.

"Hmm. Not bad, it seems. This old wall has little defense, and we should be able to take it quickly. ”

"Then let the soldiers work hard, the good things inside are waiting for everyone..."

“・・・・・・”

The generals of the coalition expressed their opinion, and with their knowledge of the Manchu army and the Boxers, this did not pose a threat to them, so they did not care much, and focused on the treasure in front of them.

Subsequently, the siege firepower of the coalition forces increased significantly, and the Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns swept the walls on the various city gates as if bullets did not cost money.

Artillery fire also continued to explode on and inside the city walls, bringing up a figure. Although the strength of the Qing army is not good, it still has to fight hard to defend the city when it comes to home.

The people of the Qing Dynasty in this era no longer have much of the mentality of heaven and country. In their eyes, foreign devils are vicious, and the news of burning and killing and robbing the strong all the way in Tianjin has come to the capital. Moreover, the evil of the coalition forces outside the city was also directly displayed in front of these defenders.

Why don't these people work hard, the ordinary people in the outer city have also joined the ranks of the defenders, constantly helping the defenders carry supplies, and those who have the ability to go to the city to fight hard also follow to resist.

The war in the outer city of the capital continued, and the smoke of gunpowder also rose in Tianjin, and after the rapid march, it did not take long for the strongholds of the coalition forces along the way to be eliminated, and the helicopters cooperated with the ground troops to arrive in Tianjin.

There were more than 2,000 people stationed in Tianjin, and at this time, there were originally more than 1 million people in Tianjin, but there were less than 100,000 people left, and the city was in a miserable situation.

The first to arrive was a helicopter, which plunged into Tianjin from above. The allied forces stationed there had already discovered the large force and made defensive preparations, and the Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns, artillery, and various rifles leaned against the city wall and made defensive preparations.

But obviously, none of this does much. In addition to the eight helicopters that had just started circling in the air, two helicopters from various bases in Hirayama also rushed over and joined the queue.

Hulin's 008 hovered over the city. "Attention to all aircraft, first knock out the artillery and Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns. The allied soldiers will use heavy machine guns to solve the problem and fight freely"

"Received by No. 001..."

"No. 002 received ・・・・・"

After Hu Lin gave the order, 10 helicopters began to attack, firing rockets from high altitudes, accompanied by tongues of fire from general-purpose machine guns, which hit the heads of the foreign coalition forces.

The Pingshan Army had already driven outside Tianjin, and the blocking stronghold had already been cut off by helicopters, leaving behind the remnants of unknown troops, which were naturally overwhelmed by the large army.

Outside the city wall, with the cooperation of helicopters, the Pingshan Army in armored vehicles easily attacked the city, and 50 armored vehicles and army soldiers dispersed to control various positions after entering the city.

The coalition forces in the city have become a mess, and the originally well-trained coalition regular army is like stragglers at this time, skewering everywhere, without the heroic spirit of the previous days.

"Oh, buy a pimple, what's that...

"No... My arm is gone...

"Is this the Qing Heavenly Soldier coming, God, please forgive me..."

“・・・・”

One by one, the soldiers of the coalition army no longer had the courage to resist, and the air-to-ground rockets kept artillery fire falling from the sky, as if the heavenly soldiers were going down to earth to punish the wicked people.

"No. 009 and No. 010 will follow me to the Dutong Yamen, and the other crew members will continue to cooperate with the army as a station."

"Roger, do you want to destroy their headquarters? Checkmate! "No. 010 did not receive the request for combat and confirmed it with Hu Lin.

"Just kill the coalition soldiers next to you, and try not to kill the officers." After a few seconds of silence, Hulin confirmed that the officer was left behind.

"Okay, okay..."

After receiving Hu Lin's order, the two helicopters followed Hu Lin's No. 008 helicopter and turned to Tianjin Metropolitan Yamen. After the artillery bombardment in the city, there were already many coalition soldiers kneeling on the ground and raising their guns to surrender, Hu Lin glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to fly.

There are more guards in the Yamen of the capital, and there are sandbags to resist horses, if you deal with the normal ground attack, you have to deal with the attack of artillery, and you have to withstand the strafing of the Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun, it is not so easy to take it down.

From the sky, as soon as the rocket is launched, things are simple. I saw that the three helicopters immediately shot out tongues of fire and rushed towards the coalition defense area around the Yamen of the Metropolitan Command.

Suddenly, people turned on their backs, sand and rocks flew sideways, these coalition soldiers were obviously much more elite, and the bombardment of rockets and machine gun fire did not surrender.

Hu Lin had long expected that the armies that protected the commanders would not succumb as easily as the armies outside. So the order was to try his best to stay here commander, one by one the coalition soldiers fell under the bullets, rockets, and three helicopters quickly cleared the defenders around the Dutong Yamen.

It seems that the people inside have sensed that the general trend has gone, and they no longer stay in the Dutong Yamen, a group of more than a dozen people walked out of the gate, Hu Lin did not let the attack, just hovered overhead. (To be continued.) )
