Chapter 26: The Flames of War (6)

Major General Arthur looked at the crumbling city wall on the other side and hesitated to send his soldiers up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The United States in this era is not the lighthouse of later generations. Although it has a large population, a large number of resources, and excellent geographical conditions, it has the potential to become the strongest. But this world is very realistic, and if you have potential, it means that you are not worthy of respect now. Not to mention such a big hooligan as Britain, even Japan does not pay much attention to the United States now.

If your power can't be thrown, it's equivalent to no power. So now the Russians and the Japanese are getting more and more bold and louder, because they are now sending the most troops. Although the British are the strongest country in the world, they have lost a lot of their right to speak.

The U.S. Army is not the king of later generations, and it cannot make people willing to be the leading party. Although the Americans proved their bravery and savagery in the Civil War, they were only a second-rate army in the end. And in previous battles, the Americans' units were attacked several times. The swift assault and fearlessness of the Chinese army gave them a great shock.

These people didn't come to fight in a foreign land to die here. Their minds were full of war money, and a few were pastors who wanted to spread the glory of God. But even if it's for God, you have to pay for it first. Those American GIs have said that we Americans are so real!

Arthur naturally didn't care about the feelings of the soldiers, but thousands of people had been filled in before, and the opposite front was already crumbling, but it didn't fall. The light infantry attack did not take advantage of the defenders, who had a strong will and plenty of bombs, but were often overwhelmed by the oncoming fire.

Arthur looked back, and the officers of the other countries all looked at him with serious faces. He gritted his teeth, Made, isn't it just a few people who died, maybe they rushed in at once. He drew his command knife, pointed forward, and shouted, "Attack!" ”

Then, with great reluctance, the American GIs moved forward at the urging of the officers. These Americans don't have long lines to shoot like the European powers, and they don't care much about image and discipline, so they don't line up like other allies and play with guns. I saw that they were divided into small groups of threes and twos, alternately covering each other and shooting. When someone shoots for cover, others quickly run a few steps and hide behind various obstacles.

This non-standard tactical maneuver made the officers watching the battle shake their heads. Although they were able to effectively reduce casualties, their own firepower was also greatly reduced. The only effect of the Americans in doing so is that they will be able to quickly mix up the time, and it will not help the war in any way.

The army doctrine that is now popular in the world is summed up from the Franco-Prussian War, which can be summed up in two words, that is: mobility, offensive. When I was in Europe, why did heavy weapons and supplies rely on dense railway lines for maneuvering, but there were few railways here in the Far East. Therefore, the only thing left in the minds of these dogmatic officers is the concept of attack.

Such an American who is greedy for life and fears death will naturally be despised by officers who advocate offense. Arthur wasn't very happy with his fellows either, but he didn't want to force his soldiers to stand up and die. There are a lot of lawless people in the Americans, and if he dares to do that, maybe someone will shoot him in the back.

After several hours of grinding, the Americans finally found themselves under the city walls. The bullets that had come out of the walls were gone, and the bombs that had made people so bad were gone. Several American GIs crept their heads out and climbed up an intact wall. Then they were pleasantly surprised to find that there were no more hateful enemies nearby.

"Hey guys, come on! The enemy has fled! The American GIs waved their hands and shouted to their companions behind them.

The GIs, who were hiding behind various obstacles, poked their heads out and looked at the elated guys with various expressions. A few have even started betting on how long they will live. This time, however, the men seemed to have been favored by God, and they were unharmed after a few minutes of jumping on the walls.

Oh, and it looks like those damn yellow-skinned monkeys really ran away. In that case, what are you waiting for? The GIs rushed over the walls and positions everywhere, intending to plunder. I heard that this capital of the Qing people is full of gold, silver and jewelry. Didn't the big guys come to this barbarous place by crossing the Pacific Ocean to make a fortune?

However, what disappointed them was that the houses behind the city walls had long been demolished and cleaned, not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry, and they couldn't see the figure of Lian. There were quite a few bullet casings on the ground. But what do they want shells for? Take it back and play with the eggs?

These GIs, who were full of dreams of making a fortune, spontaneously rushed through the fence for hundreds of meters, pretending not to hear the shouts and curses of the officers. Even quite a few low-ranking officers rushed over, for fear that they would not be able to grab anything good.

When hundreds of GIs had rushed into the streets, they were shocked to find that several barricades had been erected around the corners. Behind the sacks, some people were looking at them coldly. The GIs only felt their scalps tingle and their mouths bitter. It's not that these white-skinned devils are shy and embarrassed to be looked at by others.

It was the black barrels of the guns pointed at them that were terrifying, especially the Maxim heavy machine gun.

Fierce fire erupted, but at a distance of two or three hundred meters, the heavy machine gun brutally tore the opposite human body into several pieces. At such a close distance, being hit by a bullet from a heavy machine gun is essentially pronounced dead. The rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute swept away the soldiers who rushed in, and those who were lying on the ground to escape were shot one by one by rifles.

Arthur felt that something was wrong when he heard the sound of heavy machine gun fire from the opposite side at the same time. Half an hour later, he received the news that the two infantry regiments that had rushed in had been almost completely wiped out. This tragic message made him vomit blood in frustration.

If you knew this, you might as well not have the honor of seizing the city wall. Fortunately, they only have more than 10,000 people in total, and now they have a third of the casualties. When he returns home, those congressional gentlemen will definitely not spare him.

In fact, Major General Arthur has thought too much, and it is still unknown whether he can return to the United States!
