090 Capture the thief and capture the king first
Two Makqin heavy machine guns were pushed to the side of the street, facing the position of the Spaniards' charge, Zhao Menggang personally grabbed the firing handle, an ammunition hand picked up the canvas bullet belt, loaded the bullet into the chamber, Zhao Menggang pulled the firing handle, the Makqin heavy machine gun made a "boom, boom" sound, with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, the bullet was fired at the charging Spaniards.
The Spaniards fell like straw under the strong wind, because the formation of the Spaniards charging was very dense, and the bullet caliber of the Maxim heavy machine gun was 11 mm, which was extremely penetrating, so many bullets were stopped only after passing through two people, which increased the lethality of the machine gun.
The Spaniards in the east could not stop the heavy machine guns, and the wolves fled, at this time, the south, north and west of the city government were on fire again, and the gunfire came one after another, Lin Fei guessed well, the Spaniards were indeed attacking from all sides.
With troops to the south, north, and west, and Maxim heavy machine guns to defend them, the Spaniards began to retreat after throwing the dead bodies on the ground, and the night was calm for a while.
When the soldiers saw the Spaniards retreating, their faces were happy for a while, but Lin Fei frowned and asked He Kaisheng: "How many people are here from the city guards?" ”
He Kaisheng said: "The city guards from the four nearby districts are here. ”
Lin Fei said: "Hurry up and let them go back to their respective guard areas, quick!" ”
He Kaisheng was stunned for a moment, and Lin Fei urged: "The Spaniards failed to attack the city government, it is very likely to attack the Chinese civilians, let them protect the Chinese civilians immediately, quickly!" ”
He Kaisheng hurriedly agreed, Lin Fei walked out of the city government building, and came to the defense area of the eastern army, Niu Dalong came over and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”
Lin Fei asked, "Have you caught the captive?" ”
Niu Dalong said: "Catch a few injured ones. ”
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Bring me one." ”
Niu Dalong waved his hand at a subordinate, and the subordinate dragged a Spaniard over, the Spaniard's leg bone was broken, and the broken leg was still attached to his body, dragging him weakly behind him, Lin Fei squatted down and asked with a gloomy face, "Who asked you to come?" ”
The Spaniard gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, Lin Fei pulled out Saladin's blade, and in a flick of it in front of his eyes, the Spaniard obviously had a cold war, Lin Fei pressed the back of the knife on the Spaniard's injured leg, and said gloomily: "If you don't say it, you will die of pain!" ”
The Spaniard's teeth trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "It was Mr. Brewer who asked us to come." ”
Lin Fei saw Brewer's name on the tax register, Brewer was the richest businessman in Wuduan City, and he had fifteen factories under his command, including the electroplating factory where Gao Manlu and other Chinese worked, and in Brewer's factory, the salary of the Chinese was one-tenth of the salary of the Spaniards, and Brewer relied on this means to accumulate wealth.
Lin Fei forced and asked, "Where is Brewer?" ”
The Spaniard said: "In the Barsac warehouse. ”
Lin Fei asked, "Basak warehouse?" What is that place? Why is Brewer there? ”
The Spaniard said: "The Barsac warehouse is where Brewer hides his money, and Brewer does not keep his money in the bank, he converts it into gold and puts it in that warehouse." ”
Lin Fei then asked, "How many guards are there around Brewer?" ”
"There's a 300-man warehouse guard."
Lin Fei asked, "Is there a gun?" ”
"Yes, it's all Mauser."
Lin Fei nodded, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take this Spaniard down, and asked his subordinates to capture two injured Spaniards, and asked these questions, their answers were the same as the previous Spaniard, Lin Fei turned around and called Niu Dalong, and said: "Leave one company here to watch, the others follow me, Brewer is the biggest rich merchant in the city, tonight's riot must have been planned by him, capture the thief first, let's capture him first." ”
Everyone let out a cheer, Lin Fei led the soldiers to the Basak warehouse, the Basak warehouse is located in the east of the city, at the very edge of the city, the troops rushed for a while, Niu Dalong suddenly ran to Lin Fei and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's time to the Basak warehouse, there is a courtyard wall outside, it's not low, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack it." ”
Lin Fei's heart moved, and he said, "Take me to see!" As he spoke, Niu Dalong led him to the edge of a forest, and Niu Dalong pointed to the distance with his hand and said, "The place where the lights are lit over there is the Basak warehouse, I heard that the people inside have guns, so we didn't go close." ”
Lin Fei estimated the distance, his position was almost four hundred meters away from the courtyard wall, this distance avoided the killing of enemy firepower, Lin Fei nodded, said "Very good", and then raised the telescope to take a closer look at the Barsac warehouse, only to see that the outside of the entire warehouse was a wall more than three meters high, and in the middle was a gate more than five meters wide.
Lin Fei put down the binoculars, pointed to the courtyard wall with his hand, and sneered: "How strong can the courtyard wall built by a local tyrant be, Zhao Menggang!" ”
Zhao Menggang replied loudly: "The subordinates are here!" ”
Lin Fei said: "Use a blasting bomb to blow up the wall for me!" ”
Lin Fei's artillery company is equipped with HP-1 mortars, which are 60 mm caliber and equipped with two types of shells, one is equipped with anti-personnel shells with trigger fuses, which mainly kill people, and the other is explosive shells equipped with delayed fuses to destroy buildings.
Zhao Menggang ordered his subordinates in a loud voice: "Use charge No. 1 to blow up the courtyard wall!" ”
Mortar shells can be switched to different cartridges to adjust the range and angle of fire, and charge 1 is the charge with the least amount of propellant, which allows the shell to hit the yard wall accurately at this distance.
The caliber of the mortar is only 60 mm, so the various parts are relatively light, the gun body, gun carriage and seat plate are only about 10 kilograms, that is, 20 catties, the artillery can carry it on its back, the shells are also very light, 3 kilograms of blasting shells, 2.5 kilograms of anti-personnel shells, and each ammunition hand can carry six shells on his back.
Five firing groups, each group of ten people, seven ammunition men, and one group of forty-two shells, this kind of firepower is already very amazing in this era when there are no mortars, howitzers have a very slow rate of fire because there are no retraction machines!
Zhao Menggang ordered his subordinates to use slow rapid fire, this way of shooting can save the barrel the most, after all, the opponent is not strong, there is no need to use full speed fire at the expense of the life of the gun.
The soldiers of the artillery company took out the barrels, gun carriages and seat plates, and combined them into artillery on one side, Lin Fei waved Niu Dalong over and said, "Push Makqin to the gate!" ”
Niu Dalong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Will they come out?" ”
Lin Fei smiled confidently: "It is impossible for them to just be bombed and not fight back, they will definitely rush out to find us desperately, and Makqin will come in handy at that time." ”
Niu Dalong nodded, and led people to push the two Makqin to the front of the door, although the distance was 400 meters, but the range of Makqin was as high as 1000 meters, and the distance of 400 meters was not a problem at all.
Zhao Menggang reported to Lin Fei: "Captain, the artillery company has been prepared, do you want to open fire?" ”
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Fire!" ”
Zhao Menggang replied loudly: "Understood! Then he turned to the artilleryman and said: "Brothers, open fire!" ”
The artilleryman put the mortar shell into the barrel, the shell fell and triggered the primer, the primer ignited the propellant, and the shell flew to the courtyard wall with a terrible whistling under the impetus of the propellant, followed by five loud explosions, thick black smoke rose into the air, shrouded in the courtyard wall, in the warehouse, Brewer, the richest merchant in Wuduan City, heard the explosion and panicked, and asked: "What's the matter?" ”
A think tank came over and said, "Something exploded on the wall." ”
Brewer asked in surprise, "Do the Chinese pigs have cannons?" ”
The think tank looked solemn and said: "The deserters in Jackson's troops said that the Chinese pigs used something that could explode, which was very powerful, and the Makqin heavy machine gun car was blown up. ”
Then one of the guards ran in and shouted, "Oh no! The walls have been blown open! ”
Brewer shouted loudly: "Go and block the wall, don't let the Chinese pigs in, Ibu, go out with the guards immediately, find the cannons of the Chinese pigs, kill the people who fired the cannons, don't let them open the cannons again!" ”
When the leader of the guard named Yibu heard this, he led everyone to rush out, and in the lights of the warehouse, they rushed out very conspicuously, Niu Dalong was just about to order his subordinates to shoot, Lin Fei waved his hand and said: "Wait a minute, wait until they all come out and fight, if you shoot now, the people behind will not dare to come out." ”
After a while, the guards basically went out of the gate, Lin Fei waved his hand, and said loudly: "Fire!" ”
The two Maxim heavy machine guns immediately poured out their tongues of fire at the guards, and the head of the guard called Ibrahimovic was the first to be killed, and the Spaniards behind fell one after another, and the other Spaniards immediately ran into the courtyard, how could the Maxim heavy machine guns let them escape? The machine gunners aimed at the gate to shoot, and every Spaniard who rushed to the door was shot into a sieve.
At this time, Lin Fei waved his hand, ordered loudly, all of them opened fire, and the soldiers immediately picked up automatic rifles and opened fire on the Spaniards, five minutes later, the ground was full of corpses of the guards, and in these five minutes, the mortar shells tore several big holes in the city wall, after all, the warehouse of the rich Spanish merchant was not a fortress of the army, the wall was only made of masonry and earth, and it could not stop the bombardment of the shells filled with trinitrotoluene explosives.
Lin Fei probably counted the dead bodies on the ground, thinking that there were not too many living people in the guards, and he could completely attack them, so Lin Fei waved his hand and said, "Charge." ”
The trumpeter beside Lin Fei raised the trumpet in his hand, and the blood-boiling charging horn sounded instantly, and the soldiers rushed to the warehouse like a tiger descending from the mountain, while Lin Fei watched behind him with his hands behind his back, after all, he was the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and there was no need to charge into battle in person.
Lin Fei stared closely at the inside of the warehouse, listening to only sporadic gunshots coming from inside, and there was a burst of joy in his heart, because fewer gunshots meant that the battle was smooth, but at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran behind him, came to Lin Fei and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" ”
