Chapter Seventy-Five: Is There Anything Worse?
'Da Da Da ......'
Thousands of bullets completely enveloped this area, which was about 500 meters wide and nearly 4,000 meters long, into the death zone.
Strings of bullets, dragging long lines of fiery red taillight, forcibly tore through the air barriers, emitting a hideous roar, threatening to tear everything in its way to shreds.
As soon as the bullet hits a person's body, a blood mist erupts from the muzzle of the bullet, staining the entire area extremely red.
When a bullet hits the ground, a pillar of earth immediately appears on the ground. If it hits a tree, the bullet will mercilessly burrow into the trunk of the tree, cutting it off with all its might.
Heavy machine guns were intensively used, and this is not the first time.
The first was supposed to be used by the British on the battlefield in Africa, where a squad of only fifty men and four heavy machine guns blocked the charge of 5,000 enemies and killed more than 3,000 people.
And now Wang Sirui has gathered nine heavy machine guns, although the enemy he faced did not charge, but the effect achieved was similar to that of the African battlefield.
When the second chain was depleted, some steam began to appear in the barrel of the Maxim heavy machine gun, which was a sign that the barrel had almost boiled the water inside the barrel after continuous firing.
The soldiers who had been prepared on the side, after seeing this scene, subconsciously picked up a water bag, aimed it at the water inlet, and directly injected the water into it.
There was almost half a bag of water, and the inside of the barrel was already filled with water, and the barrel, which was originally boiling, gradually stabilized.
Wang Sirui is still very entangled in the feeling of the Makqin heavy machine gun, both likes it and is a little hesitant.
Likely, the Maxim heavy machine gun can even last for four hours. Unfortunately, there must be enough water to cool the barrel.
And the design of the Maxim heavy machine gun is wonderful? Or is it advanced?
When a gun is fired, the water in the barrel will leak out. The main cause of the leak was the vibration of the machine gun itself.
Of course, this is probably also done to prevent the water in the barrel from boiling and causing the air pressure to become too high and explode.
In short, Wang Sirui had made all preparations before shooting.
Each machine gun has six soldiers who are responsible for reloading in the back, and a secondary shooter, who is mainly responsible for attaching the bullet chain, plus the occasional feed. There is also a person who is mainly responsible for removing the finished bullet chain and sending it to the back, and then pouring cold water into the barrel.
Each machine gun is equipped with only four chains, which would be enough in normal times, but not enough at this time of the night.
After the four chains are gone, the fifth, the first, has been connected.
But with the terrifying rate of fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun, it only takes about thirty-five seconds for a chain of bullets to be completed, and it takes at least a minute for six people to load more than 300 rounds of ammunition into the chain.
After the fifth chain was fired, the fire suddenly stopped, but only about half a minute, and then the sixth chain was transported to the magazine.
And after the chain was gone, it was empty for about a minute.
"Withdraw! Attention everyone, do not bang the machine gun with your hands! Wang Sirui shouted loudly after draining the seventh bullet chain.
Then he preemptively left the position of the machine gun, thereby directing the troops to retreat.
There are 333 rounds of ammunition in one bullet chain, and the seven bullet chains are 2331 bullets, and the nine machine guns did not pause for too long in the middle, and when Wang Sirui shouted to withdraw, he also finished the seventh bullet chain, so in less than four minutes, these nine heavy machine guns used up a total of 20,979 bullets.
And more than 20,000 bullets are enough for a battalion of infantry to fight a medium-sized battle.
When Wang Sirui shouted to withdraw, the remaining eight machine gunners still had a feeling of unfinished.
The feeling of using a heavy machine gun is really refreshing, watching the bullets being fired one by one, and the many bullets forming a web of death, and the faces of each one are full of excitement.
And when they left, the atmosphere in the team was noticeably dreary.
Before, they were excited, but when they stopped, they felt a deep sense of fear.
If their enemies had done the same to them, would they have survived? Apparently no one thinks that their lives are harder than the lives of the enemy opposite.
…………
Coalition camps.
The sudden attack of tens of thousands of bullets caught the coalition soldiers by surprise.
The torches in the camp were interrupted by bullets, igniting the tents and the like, and the camp was on fire.
Before the coalition soldiers could dodge, more bullets rained down.
Many people had just stood up and were hit by dozens, if not dozens, bullets.
Rain of blood fell from the sky, and a coalition soldier was beaten into a puddle of mud by heavy machine guns.
The sudden attack suddenly dissipated the sleepiness in the consciousness of the coalition forces, and was replaced by fear and helplessness.
Some of the soldiers who had not yet been shot were lying on the ground, wishing to burrow their whole bodies into the ground.
There are also some people who are frightened by the situation at the scene and can't stand up, and some are even more bold and want to escape, but how can people's legs run past bullets?
The coalition soldiers who wanted to escape, or find cover, had several bullets hit them before they could fully stand up, and they never had a chance to stand up again.
In just a few minutes of attack, the coalition soldiers thoroughly understood what hell is called and what horror is.
Crying, wailing, groans of pain.
For a while, there was chaos in the coalition camp, and no one cared what happened to the others, or even had time to pray to God.
Colonel Chad was hit in the head by several bullets in the first round of attacks, and Colonel Chad was lying on his bed and was not able to keep a single corpse, and it was difficult to even tell that it was a corpse.
Nearly a hundred bullets penetrated Colonel Chad's body, and Colonel Chad's body was like a giant hornet's nest.
"Help me! I don't want to die! Alves, who fell to the ground, struggled for help.
Compared to Colonel Chard, Alves was undoubtedly lucky.
Alves was hit by several bullets in the lower thigh, and the wounded Alves could not escape the subsequent bullets.
However, because the shooter in charge of this area swayed a little slowly, Alves endured the sharp pain in his leg after being injured and fell to the ground in the first place.
In this way, Alves escaped.
However, Alves's legs were hit by six or seven bullets, and it was clear that even if he could survive, Alves's legs would be difficult to preserve.
Of course, the premise is that Alves can be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will only cause too much blood loss and kill him.
