Chapter 101: They Have Cannons

When he was still a few kilometers away from the transport team, Zuo Lu commanded tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers to step on their horses, raise foreign guns and swords and shout tragic slogans and rushed over.

"It's really a bunch of fools, you can't wait for me to pass before you come out, so you can add some casualties to me." Wu Xing looked at the Eight Banners soldiers who were rushing in front of him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, he was not worried that his formation would be broken by the other party, he was afraid that his soldiers would have nightmares at night, tens of thousands of people would be slaughtered like this, and no one would have to weigh it.

"Commander, what should I do?" Xiao Zhang, a communications soldier, watched the crowd of horses surging in front of him, and kept staring at the distance between the two sides.

"According to the F plan, the vehicles are stopped side by side, the gap in the middle is to be controlled by one person without passing, the machine gun is mounted on the roof of the car, and 60 mortars are prepared in the back. In addition, the division headquarters was notified, and it was said that the fish had been hooked. Wu Xing secretly scolded the Eight Banners for not giving their strength, so they let themselves purely defend, and then gave the credit to the large army.

'Squeak', dozens of trucks all stopped urgently, and slowly moved forward, and finally under the efforts of a few minutes, this road that was not very spacious has been blocked, and there are mountains on both sides, although the mountain is not high, but it is impossible for the Eight Banners to go up, because there are also two companies of troops in ambush above.

Machine gunner Lin Zhixian is a veteran who has been in the army for four years, and he has two years of experience in using machine guns, and he is also handy in using them.

Lin Zhixian felt that someone was approaching behind him, so he looked back, and saw two soldiers holding Zhonghua rifles to defend on both sides of him, on the right hand was his own ammunition supplier Xiao Qin, and behind him there was another ammunition supplier Xiao Jin who was temporarily transferred. At this time, the entire temporary defense line was completed, and a full twenty trucks had been placed on twenty fire dragons and forty Chinese guns, and forty mortars were ready behind them. Trucks stood on the roads, in the grass, and even in the shallow waters.

"What are they going to do?" The Red Banner Commander Sofort Belle touched the front half of his bare head with one hand, and muttered to Zuo Lu.

"Hmph, this group of anti-thieves, do you think you want to block the prestige of our Eight Banners soldiers with this little?" Zuo Lu shook his head, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart at the other party's group of dog minions who couldn't fight, and immediately shouted to the Eight Banners soldiers who had already rushed ahead: "Warriors, let this group of minions on the opposite side see the strength of our Eight Banners soldiers, and use our Jin Ge Iron Horse to break through their tofu defense line." ”

After the words were closed, Zuo Lu intentionally or unintentionally slowed down his horse, so that the cavalry behind him gradually surpassed him, anyway, he was the commander, and no one dared to say anything, let alone let a commander charge into battle? Two hundred years ago it was okay, now? Don't think about it.

'Boom, boom. The sound of the galloping horses is getting louder and louder, the earth is trembling, the water in the shallow water is exuding a circle of ripples, not far away a villager who has not been affected by the earthquake is chopping wood on the mountain, after feeling the trembling of the earth, subconsciously hurriedly find a safe place, over time only to find that this feeling is not quite the same as the earthquake, after relaxing the heart, this is the left and right search, only to see countless cavalry rushing towards a small group of Hainan Army transport team, the kind of murderous shouts are spread all over the sky, Even the villagers who were miles away could feel the murderous aura in the shout.

"Reporter Wang, Reporter Xue, are you okay?" Wu Xing put down the work at hand, just now he only cared about the deployment of the position, and forgot that there were two accompanying reporters in the accompanying convoy. Just after arranging the position, he hurriedly ran over and stayed in front of the reporter behind him and said.

"We're fine, Captain Wu, is there anything ahead?" Reporter Wang is a special reporter of the "Xia Hua Times" in Sichuan, and was granted the right to follow the rescue force or the transport force, but he did not expect that this had just entered Sichuan, and he wanted to follow the transport team into Sichuan to understand the situation.

"Hey, I said that you don't rush in and you just didn't listen, this time we just went to explore the road, the car didn't carry much supplies, the combat readiness is a little, whether you can find a place or not is the same thing, let you wait for us to find the way in, you are good, this time there is an emergency." Wu Xing shook his head, and laughed secretly in his heart, if you don't come, I really won't be able to fight, even if I have to explain it to the outside world after the fight.

"Emergency?" Since Wang Lin's large-scale uprising, many major newspapers that originally only had English editions have opened up Chinese pages without exception and specially published about Wang Lin's incident.

"A month ago, we received news that the imperial court had ordered troops to enter Sichuan, and we were wiped out in one fell swoop while we were trying our best to rescue, and now it is the Eight Banners soldiers who appear in front of us, I didn't expect them to attack one of our convoys." Wu Xing angrily hung on the ground with his right hand, with an incredible look on his face.

Reporter Wang took the opportunity to hurriedly pick up the camera and aimed at Wu Xing for a while, taking a complete picture of the anger in Wu Xing's heart when he learned that the Manchu Eight Banners were attacking him, and the disbelief on his face that the imperial court would attack them at this time.

As reporters, they did not feel scared after learning the news that the Manchu Eight Banners were attacking here, but it was very strange that they picked up the camera to take pictures of Wu Xing's disappointed appearance at the first time, and then they felt incredible. Even Britain, France, Germany and other countries admired and praised Wang Lin's actions after Wang Lin's declaration, and called on the Manchu court to restrain themselves.

You must know that Sichuan is still nominally the land of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also under the control of the Qing Dynasty, and the people of the Qing Dynasty have suffered natural disasters and the court has not taken care of them, and now someone has come out to help you manage and help you settle the disaster victims, but you want to attack? The two reporters hurriedly recorded a sentence in the notebook, the court did not care about the lives of the people, and the army entered Sichuan to attack the rescue team.

"Head Wu, can we go to the front and take two pictures?" Reporter Wang patted the dust on his body, put the notebook in his backpack, and held his camera with both hands on his chest.

"Now the Eight Banners are still about six or seven kilometers away from us, you have to be fast, you won't have a chance to shoot when the fight starts." Wu Xing nodded, and secretly said in his heart, even if you don't take it, I will find a way to let you take two pictures back, otherwise there is only one photo of me on the headlines, how can you do it?

"Thank you, Captain Wu." After receiving permission, the two reporters hurriedly bent down to thank them.

"Wait, don't shoot what shouldn't be filmed, our machine guns are still in the stage of secrecy to the outside world, I hope you don't take pictures of our machine guns, and I also hope that you two can make a guarantee that our armament will be kept secret, and you can not tell this until we announce the current armament." Wu Xing called out to the two reporters who were about to step forward, turned around and said.

The two reporters nodded, signaled that they understood, and hurriedly boarded the truck, led by the two soldiers, and stood in the gap to the right of the machine gunner.

The scene of tens of thousands of war horses galloping together is not something that anyone has the opportunity to see, nor can anyone feel the momentum and coercion of the 10,000 war horses on the attacking side when they charge in a cluster, let alone the invisible pressure of the defender's tenacious defense, the two reporters were shocked by this scene as soon as they showed their heads, a group of Manchu Eight Banner soldiers who looked like they had gone crazy rushed here like a sharp sword, and the soldiers on the defending side were faintly nervous, even if they were used to seeing the big scene, The Hainan Army, which had fought many major battles and fought with the Qing, British, and Indian armies, now had to lose a moment in momentum, because there were more than 40,000 people charging on the opposite side, while there were less than 200 people on this side defending.

At the urging of the soldiers, the two reporters hurriedly took out their cameras, pointed them in front of them for a burst of hard shots, and then stood around a soldier holding a Chinese style, choosing to shoot from various angles, of course, provided that the angle they chose would not capture the fire dragon style. After a few minutes of bombardment, seeing that the Manchu Eight Banners were getting closer and closer to here, the two reporters were forcibly pulled off the truck by the two soldiers behind them, and then taken to a relatively safe place in the rear.

10,000 cavalry charged together, even if they had a fire dragon and 60 mm mortars to help? With only less than 200 defenders on their own side, they would never be able to resist the charge of more than 40,000 cavalry on the opposite side. And their current approach is also to gain the upper hand in morality and public opinion, so as to cover up why they have large-scale equipment into Sichuan, but Wang Lin will explain this matter later, the most important thing is to let people see how the imperial court treats the people who rescue the people, and how it bullies the few with more.

"You two stay here, don't go anywhere, I've already asked the division headquarters for support, and a regiment of patrols will arrive in half an hour." Wu Xing stuffed the two reporters behind a large rock and instructed them, and immediately ignored them, but ran directly to the mortar position.

"Five thousand meters ahead, no corrected rapid fire, put." This 60-millimeter mortar is also the most effective infantry fire support weapon of the Hainan Army at present, in addition to having a firing range of nearly a little more than five kilometers, its shrapnel effective killing radius has reached 17 meters.

'Tong, Tong, The mortar shells were stuffed into the mortar barrel, and then hit the firing pin at the bottom of the gun chamber and triggered the bottom fire of the shell, and finally sent the mortar shells to a distance of about 5,000 meters, in actual combat, the use of mortars at this distance is actually ineffective, because the distance is too far, it is not enough to ensure the accuracy of the shells, but it is very suitable for now, because the narrowness of the area has led to more than 40,000 cavalry can only move forward next to each other, and it is so fast that no matter where the shells fall and explode, they will cause a certain amount of casualties to the opponent。

After half a minute of flight, 40 mortar shells fell on the ground, and for a time the entire charging team was almost cleared out of a blank area, and it is a good thing that there are many people on the other side, which can increase their hit rate, but the bad thing is that because of the large number of people blocking, the killing radius of the mortar is gradually decreasing.

"What is this? And they still have cannons? Zuo Lu wondered, there was already a sea of people in front, and he could only hear the sound but not see the situation in front of him, so he could only categorically speculate.

"It's not a cannon, it's not a cannon." A Bei Ziye next to him looked at Zuo Lu, who didn't know what a peasant had entered the city and didn't know, said.
