Chapter 456: Machine Gun Strikes

Suddenly, a fleet came to Hanoi along the Red River, and a force of more than 300 people also came down from the fleet, and this action naturally could not hide the eyes of the Zheng group.

The Zheng group was also closely monitoring the movements of the Ming army in Hanoi at this time, and was a little startled, but found that there were only more than 300 people, and they were immediately relieved.

It's just that these more than 300 Ming troops have a strange atmosphere, because their military uniforms are different from other Ming troops.

Green camouflage uniform, with a steel helmet on his head. And he also carried a large number of boxes into the city, and I didn't know what the boxes were.

But even if there are oddities, there are only three hundred people, so there is no need to worry at all.

The Zheng group's preparations for Hanoi's attack have reached the last moment, and the Zheng group intends to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's lack of troops in the Indochina Peninsula to snatch Hanoi back, and then quickly build a new defense system.

At the beginning, Annan was able to split from Daming, and it was precisely because Annan resisted strongly that Daming felt that the cost of counterinsurgency was too high, so he gave up the idea of recovering Annan.

The Zheng group has realized that if the compromise continues, Annan's blood will be drained by the Ming Dynasty, and then the contradictions will be vented on their heads, and the Ming Dynasty will not directly rule Annan, and the Zheng Group will only go to a slow death. Previously, due to the situation, I could only bow my head.

Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to give it a go.

As long as it wins, the Zheng group still has the hope of continuing to rule North Annan, and the Zheng group gave it a go, and more than 200,000 troops were organized by the Zheng group, nearly half of which were farmers who had no training, and they were just put together as cannon fodder.

These troops quickly surrounded Hanoi, and a major battle officially began.

The Ming army in the city was also on guard. As soon as the Zheng group tore its face, the Ming army in the city had already put up a defensive posture, and at the same time, the embassy transferred all the Ming citizens to the city for protection.

Zhang Taolong, the commander of the Ming Army Garrison Brigade stationed in Hanoi, was not at all nervous at this time, but looked excited. What is the plan of being a soldier, just trying to fight!

Only by fighting can he make meritorious contributions, and he is a soldier of the New Army who climbed up step by step on the battlefield in Liaodong. It is even more eager to participate in the war.

War is an event where risks and opportunities coexist, and for the powerful side, it means greater opportunities. The Ming army, which had rich combat experience and was well-equipped, was naturally more eager for war.

I originally thought that if I was transferred to Hanoi, there should be no war to fight, but I didn't expect the Zheng Group to jump up, this is the rhythm of heaven!

Although the Zheng Group is menacing this time, Zhang Taolong also has hole cards in his hand. It was the machine gun battalion that the emperor urgently transferred to him.

That's more than 70 machine guns!

When Zhang Taolong saw this weapon for the first time a few days ago, he was simply stunned by this thing, and Zhang Taolong, who has rich experience in warfare, knows very well what these heavy machine guns mean on the battlefield of this era.

When Zhang Taolong's army of the Zheng Group attacked, he had these heavy machine guns in his hands, so he was naturally very calm.

"Ordered the implementation of wartime control in the city, and the people were not allowed to go out on the streets." Zhang Taolong issued a control order to prevent the Zheng group's spies from taking the opportunity to create chaos in the city.

In general. The defense of the city must mobilize the people of Annam in the city, otherwise 5,000 people will be scattered to the city gates. The forces are very weak.

However, this time the Ming army did not play cards according to common sense, Zhang Taolong directly sent two battalions out of the city, and stationed directly in the direction of the West Gate, which bore the brunt of the attack, with the Red River in the east, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty on the river, it was impossible for the Zheng group to attack from there. The Trung clique was nothing more than attacking Hanoi from the west or south.

While more than 1,000 Ming troops were sent outside the city, the Ming army inside the city was ready to shrink their forces at any time and gather at one point to defend and protect the property and personnel concentrated in the city.

The Zheng group's army was menacing, and it turned out that there were more than a thousand Ming troops outside the city. Immediately confused, and at the same time overjoyed.

Isn't this a send?

More than 1,000 Ming troops ran outside the city, without the protection of the city wall, facing more than 200,000 troops, isn't this a send?

The Zheng group immediately launched an attack on the more than 1,000 Ming troops on the outskirts of the west of the city, because the Ming army had a relatively strong fighting quality and good equipment, and the Zheng group divided more than 30,000 troops to deal with this Ming army.

So an offensive and defensive battle took the lead, and 30,000 Annam soldiers divided into groups approached the Ming army position in the fortifications.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery fired, and the shells flew towards the Annan soldiers who were in dense formation. However, this time, the Zheng group had already prepared and arranged personnel to supervise the army, and every Annan soldier faced the incoming artillery shells, and they were bold and fast.

The shells rushed out of the crowd one after another, which could not stop the advance of these Annan soldiers, and the density of the shelling was not very large, and the sparse twenty or thirty shells could not affect the battlefield situation at all.

The generals of the Zheng Group thought that the Ming army was poor in donkey skills! I have already begun to fantasize about how to besiege these Ming troops after breaking through the position, and then cut off their heads to shock the Ming army in the city.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, 500 meters, 400 meters, and at this time, the artillery sound on the Ming army's position also stopped, and it was quiet.

After more than two years of contact with the Ming army, the Zheng group has figured out the general situation of the Ming army, and the firearms of the Ming army are basically fired in a continuous salvo within a range of 100 meters to 50 meters, and the well-trained Ming army troops can even pour out five salvos within a minute.

But even so, the Ming army in front of them had very few troops, even if they stood there and let them shoot for a few minutes, as long as they got close, they could be quickly wiped out.

Finally, the distance between the two sides was shortened to 300 meters, and the Ming army's position was still quiet.

250 meters, still no movement.

Finally, when the distance between the two sides was reduced to 200 meters, a very rhythmic 'da-da' gunfire rang out on the position.

The distance between the two sides was two hundred meters, and the Ming officer finally ordered the heavy machine gun to open fire.

Suddenly, more than a dozen machine guns opened fire at the same time, and these machine gunners did not need to aim, they could just fire left and right continuously.

The moment the machine gun fired, the Annan soldiers fell down as if they were harvesting wheat. A dozen machine guns instantly formed a ferocious network of crossfire.

For example, when two machine guns are distributed at different points, when they are strafing left and right, the bullets fired will form an X-shaped firepower, and one fan can form an X-shaped fire network with the machine gun on the other side.

The formation of Annan's soldiers was very dense, and the result was naturally a tragedy, and the lives were quickly harvested by the merciless machine-gun bullets.

Patches of Annan soldiers lay in pools of blood, these machine gun bullets were so powerful that a bullet pierced two people and still had lethality.

The entire battlefield was filled with bullets almost everywhere. Unless there is a meat shield in front of them, those who stand are basically certain to die.

And these bullets are fired from different angles.

A slaughter began, and these machine guns quickly turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse. (To be continued.) )
