"What was that? So powerful? A Chinese soldier looked at the Russian cavalry who had been swept down almost in the blink of an eye, and said with some surprise. Ever heard of airsoft guns? This thing is an upgraded version of the air gun, which uses compressed air to eject the grenade, although it is not far, but no living thing survives its blow within a few tens of meters. A non-commissioned officer said with some smugness. With a single pull of the joystick, the compressed air in the cylinders can push the rows of grenades out, and then a rain of bullets. The non-commissioned officer opened his hands and made an explosive motion.

Its compressed air as a propulsion power has been very popular as early as the flintlock pistol era, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire even established a special air gun unit, this force no one used an air gun to shoot steel balls as a weapon, the effective range of this air gun reached more than 100 meters, the power is comparable to a flintlock pistol, more importantly, this weapon can shoot uninterruptedly, within a minute can be used up to 20 steel balls in the magazine! Of course, the gas cylinder is more troublesome, if it is manual, it will take about 3500 times with a special gas cylinder! This was a very sharp weapon at the time, but it was short-lived due to the cost of the rifle and the advent of the rear-loading rifled rifle.

Although the airsoft gun eventually became a toy for the nobles, the close relative of the airsoft gun, the mortar powered by compressed air, was used until the first war! Austria-Hungary, which was relatively backward in industry and national strength, was equipped with a large number of compressed air mortars, and the biggest advantage of this weapon was that the short-range projection volume was large enough. The compressed air grenadier equipped on the Dragon 1 armored train is the best weapon designed to kill all attackers at close range, and all attempts to defeat the Dragon 1 by melees will be thwarted by these inconspicuous things!

Look at the cavalry that suddenly fell in rows in the binoculars. Galev's hand shook violently, as a Russian officer, his first concern was always the outcome of the war. He was not particularly sensitive to the casualties of his subordinates, but in the blink of an eye, dozens of cavalrymen were shot by an unknown weapon, which still shocked and frightened him. After a while, the Russian officer finally realized that a simple cavalry charge could not do anything to this long iron dragon full of lethal weapons, so now the only thing he could rely on was those few small-caliber cannons and medium-caliber mortars, I hope they will not disappoint him, it is not easy to transport hundreds of kilometers! They were all dismantled and pulled by packers!

And under the cover of the blood and smoke of the cavalry, several small cannons of the Russians finally rushed to a position less than 400 meters from Youlong No. 1. Three 3-pounder guns erupted tongues of fire. A second later two shells fell on the opposite compartment, but the explosion only made a pit in the steel plate, and there was no follow-up! The lethality of picric acid high-explosive bombs is too low! Although murder and arson are good hands. But in the face of armor, it is really soft!

JUST AFTER THE 47MM GUNS HAD COMPLETED 2 ROUNDS OF USELESS FIRING, A SHORT ROUND OF 37MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS AND 82MM MORTARS THAT HAD BEEN FREED UP IN THEIR HANDS SMASHED THE 3 47 GUNS THAT HAD WORKED SO HARD TO BRING THE RUSSIANS TO PIECES. Major Galev, who had exhausted all means, had no choice but to suspend the battle, and let another cavalry cut off the rear road of Youlong No. 1 and then retreat to the jungle, and all kinds of tactics would not work during the day. Then the only chance is to see how the evening goes.

"The information has been sent out. There shouldn't be any more battles during the day today, so let's take a break and wait for the battle at night. Ye Ming said to the herald. Seeing that the Russians had retreated to the woods, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, just now through wireless telegraphy, Ye Ming had already contacted his superiors, and at present, the Chinese Army is assembling mobile troops to strike at this Russian army, and Ye Ming's task is to kill and injure the opponent as much as possible while supporting Station 1135.

The real challenge to the Youlong No. 1 armored train came from the night battles at night. As night falls. The darkness of the night is always an ally of the side that lacks firepower. Under the cover of night, the Russians could abandon their horses and organize demolition teams to carry out the blasting. The natural shady screen is much stronger than the smoke bomb. And even if the Youlong No. 1 has a searchlight, it must not be easily opened and closed, because snipers are not only available in China, but also in the Russians, coupled with the excellent accuracy of the Mosinagan rifle, it is still possible for a trained veteran to shoot the searchlight many times at a distance of about 500 meters.

However, for the upcoming night battle, Ye Ming was also prepared, the tracer bullet was pressed on the bullet chain, and the flare was also taken to the gun position. The infantry accompanying the vehicle also secretly got out of the vehicle under cover, and then entered to build positions and bunkers. A few of the spearheads also stealthily moved forward to set up forward observation posts. And more soldiers and officers seized the time to rest and eat. Taking out the ration of compressed biscuits and dried meat and tea, the officers and men on board the Dragon No. 1 enjoyed a not sumptuous but nutritious dinner on the train, and the Russian cavalry at this time was not so good. In the bitter cold wind, they can't even raise the fire! They could only huddle together to keep warm, because of the light equipment, a large number of baggage and tents were left behind, and when hungry they could only eat black bread that had been frozen hard as stones, and when they were thirsty, they could only grab a handful of snow nearby.

The Russians are also very strategic in fighting, and they will only be at the level of bandits, especially after fighting life and death with the Chinese Army, the pig's head has long been dead, and the remaining veterans still have some experience or excellence, for example, the attack in the first half of the night was done in a good way. From time to time, a few grenades would be fired next to the train, and then a flurry of shrapnel would clange against the car. Or maybe some soldiers sneak forward and make the illusion of attacking. They would even send troops far away to bypass the Dragon One, to the other side of the armored train, and then lurk to wait for the fighters.

Fighting is never about starting with a gun and rushing forward as people think, and people with weapons, ammunition and other things can only keep a fast speed of about 200 meters at most, and if you stand up straight and charge from 400 meters away, then you are guaranteed to be basically unable to survive. In the field, the attackers will reduce the charging distance, they will build bunkers, they will build forward positions, but in the current situation, the dismounted Russian cavalry will definitely not be able to build even the easiest starting position, the ground is too hard, it is definitely not something that can be dug with a sapper shovel!

So the Russians could only bend down and move forward little by little in the field. In their opinion, the Huaxia Army did not use searchlights to search, so it was still very safe under the cover of night, after all, it was not easy for the naked eye to find a figure close to the ground 500 meters away, they needed a chance, if they could rush to 300 meters, then they could try to throw the explosive bag on the other party's train!

After the first wave of soldiers set off for more than 20 minutes, the second wave of soldiers also climbed out of the jungle with the explosives bag in their hands, although 20 minutes passed, but the first wave of soldiers also climbed out of the cannon about 100 meters, an average of less than 5 meters a minute! The second wave of soldiers set off followed by the third wave, and more than 50 minutes have passed, and the first wave of soldiers should have crawled past half of the field, right? Galev muttered to himself as he estimated the time.

At this moment, the first wave of soldiers rushing to the front could already faintly see the huge outline of the Youlong No. 1 armored train. and a little light peeking out of the cracks in the steel plates. At this time, they are only more than 300 meters away from the target, and they can get closer and ready to charge. "What is the other side doing, is it sleeping or wiping down weapons in preparation for tomorrow's battle?" A strange thought suddenly popped into the mind of a Russian soldier looking at the enemy in the distance.

A few seconds later, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army told the Russians with practical actions that they did not sleep but were always ready to fight! A Russian soldier struggled to move forward, and suddenly felt that his left arm seemed to be hanging on something, and then his other hand subconsciously grabbed it, but before he could touch that thing, he felt a burst of pain in his left arm, and a pain like tearing his body came quickly, and he could even see blood beads spurting out from his side! "It's a landmine!" The Russians finally understood what they had encountered! Just when he wanted to save himself, a bullet from a distance ended his life!

THE EXPLOSION OF THE MINE IS LIKE BLOWING THE HORN OF AN ATTACK, AND SEVERAL FLASHBANGS ARE SLOWLY RAISED, AND THEN THESE FLASHBANG GRENADES FIRED BY THE 120MM GUN WILL OPEN A SMALL PARACHUTE AND LET IT SLOWLY HIT THE GROUND, AND IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES, IT WILL ILLUMINATE EVERYTHING BELOW! The searchlight, which had been hidden in the snow until now, was suddenly turned on, and the pillar of light instantly locked the entire battlefield, and the intense beam stimulation caused almost all Russians to be blind for a short time. The smarter ones immediately pressed their bodies to the ground, while the slower ones subconsciously wanted to raise their bodies to see what was happening in front of them!

The entire battlefield instantly brightened as daylight, and all the Russian soldiers involved in the attack were exposed to this empty and dead field. Ye Ming looked at the Russian soldiers who were lying on the ground and didn't know what to do, and gave a combat order with a smile, and the powerful armament of Youlong No. 1 was running again, and the bullets like flying locusts and shells flying along various ballistics covered the entire battlefield, although the Russians had all fallen down and reduced the projection of their front to a minimum, but many of them made the Russian army still unable to dodge the scythe of death after lying down! The night's slaughter has officially begun!
