Chapter 24—Blood Stains the Earth (5)

When training in Handan's non-commissioned officer-officer crash course, Lin Mengchu once ran to teach those cadets on a whim. At that time, in front of hundreds of students, the girl made a big statement:

"In the far west, there are also many sages, and in the last fifty years, the most famous are the two great sages known as the two great sages. These two were brothers, one of whom was named Marx, and he studied literature, so we will not mention it for the time being. The other one is named Makqin, who is a great master of martial arts, and today we will talk about the glorious deeds of this great grandmaster of Makqin."

Then, the roar of the Maxim heavy machine gun on the training ground made all the onlookers understand how ferocious the master named Maxim was. Facing the big fat pigs who were tied up as targets and then torn to pieces, they said one after another: "This Makqin senior, it's really cruel!" ”

Then, the most outstanding work of the Maxim predecessor began to roar in this eastern realm. In the carefully built heavy machine gun positions, tongues of fire killed the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance who were advancing in unison in a river of blood in the form of crossfire.

"Tut-tut," was the same soldier, poking his head out of the trench and watching as the foreign devils were knocked to the ground one by one, and many others were broken in two by the ferocious power of the heavy machine guns. He couldn't help but touch his head and sigh; "Mom, what is this, it's easier to kill someone than to kill a chicken!"

"I'll go to your uncle's!" The squad leader was already furious, and with one punch, he said that the soldier was in the trench, and roared: "You don't want to live ****** anymore?" Dare to stick your head out casually? Do you bastards know that if you tilt the muzzle of the heavy machine gun in the back a little bit, your ****** head will explode like a watermelon! ”

The soldier got up from the ground in a daze, and ignored his comrades, who were smiling and looking at him with their backs against the trench, and he weakly distinguished: "Isn't it just for me to see a strange thing?"

Then his voice was drowned out by a violent explosion from the cannon that had been pushed out of the shelter and was firing rapidly. The area around here had long been divided into squares, and the artillerymen had only to aim at the marked area and fire hard.

This time, the artillerymen launched a howitzer known as a secret weapon, also known as "Miss 75". This is the second big killer that Chen Cheng has made after two years of dismal business, and the first big killer is of course the Makqin machine gun. Why did the talented and intelligent young man's martial arts fall so much, he said that he had something to say, because he allocated all the skill points to other aspects.

"Having said so much, it's just an excuse that your own martial arts are not high enough!" Lin Mengchu stood on a stool and watched the cannon battle outside. Although the maximum rate of fire was not used, even if it was folded in half, the rate of fire of seven rounds per minute would be enough to blow those coalition soldiers back home.

Therefore, the girl said with great satisfaction: "But Ah Cheng, you still did a good job!" ”

"That's it!" Chen Cheng crossed his waist and raised his head in a smug manner, and then he immediately lowered his head and said, "But there is still a problem." ”

"Why did it suddenly become another question? It's a bit fast! ”

"Well, don't worry about this kind of problem!" Chen Cheng said: "Do you know how many heavy machine gun bullets and 75mm caliber shells we fired in just these ten minutes? ”

"Although I don't know the specific data, it is at most a few hundred shells and hundreds of thousands of bullets." Lin Mengchu said uncertainly: "But the enemy army that killed and injured nearly 10,000 people is worth it." ”

"Worth it?" Chen Cheng stared at the girl and said, "I tried to calculate, and I fired at least 2,000 shells and 300,000 rifle machine gun bullets just now!" ”

"Why are there so many?" The girl exclaimed, "This is enough for a big battle!" ”

"No way!" Chen Cheng spread his hands, "Those soldiers and officers of ours have little experience, and we have always emphasized the supremacy of firepower in the past, so"

"I don't care about that, I just want to know how long we can play with this style?"

"If it's been at this level and our supply lines are smooth, we'll probably be able to play three or four games. However, we can't expect the Eight-Nation Coalition to come up and die like this, they are foreigners, not fools. When people die too much, they will naturally reflect. ”

"It's going to run out so soon?" Lin Mengchu's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "I've been counting on you, why can you only hold on for so long?" ”

"Well, if you say that, people will misunderstand my abilities. No, no, I didn't mean that, okay, my ability is a little insufficient, I'm guilty, but if you just talk about rifle bullets, it's still enough to hit for a long time. ”

"Phew!" The girl said dissatisfiedly: "You are changing the topic, how many bullets can those rifles shoot alone?" Heavy machine guns are the biggest consumers of bullets. Didn't our Infantry Manual make machine guns the core of infantry offense and defense? How can you fight a war when this machine gun is not enough bullets? ”

"Hmm, Chu Chu, you are looking at the "Infantry Drill Code Version 3.0" that is still being compiled, and that will be used at least ten years later. This era is still the era of rifles and cannons, and heavy machine guns are okay to use in defense, but if they are used for offense, their mobility is simply a tragedy! ”

"Hey, is that so? Haha," the girl looked left and right, and then said, "That means, can we still defend with rifles now?" ”

"Well, yes, but I think we'd better find a chance to withdraw. Anyway, our goal has been achieved, and if we continue to fight, the exchange ratio will not be so good-looking. We have less than 30,000 men, so we can't wait here for the enemy's heavy artillery to come in and be bombed. ”

"That's right, then, when will our heavy artillery come out?"

"However, we didn't light up the tech tree for the heavy artillery"
