Chapter 442: Saving the Boston GIs (Part I)
Everyone knew that what Fang Xiaoyu said was reasonable, but they were also worried about their own combat effectiveness, Feng Shichang reminded: "But the iron-blooded army that we airlifted over belongs to the paratroopers, and there are no large-caliber artillery and chariots, how can we defeat the other party if the firepower is not strong enough." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Who said that without large-caliber artillery and chariots, there is no strong enough firepower, whether the firepower is strong or not is not directly related to these weapons, I have already notified the Wild Continent to send Xu Xiangnan a batch of advanced weapons and equipment hidden in the snow, I want to let the Western Continent know that there are some hole cards in my Chinese Empire, and any one of them is enough to make them tremble." ”
Hearing that Fang Xiaoyu took out a new weapon, several people immediately asked curiously, but Fang Xiaoyu smiled and did not answer.
After receiving Fang Xiaoyu's permission to attack, Xu Xiangnan immediately mobilized his troops, officers at all levels familiarized themselves with the terrain according to the map, and soldiers began to receive all kinds of new weapons that had just arrived. When Xu Xiangnan informed General Moltke that they had made preparations, he excitedly asked the Predators to enter the position immediately, ready to launch a surprise attack, and break through the Sahr defenses first.
"Wedman, what did you say those Orientals were carrying, except for the rifles on their backs, I hadn't seen anything else." A soldier named Pok asked his companion as he watched the Predator soldiers entering the position.
Weedman, who was looking down to wipe the machine gun, raised his eyes, and then lowered his head and continued to wipe the gun, although he didn't look at the Predator soldier again, he replied: "Don't worry about it, anyway, the equipment of the Chinese Empire has always been more advanced than ours, and the Mauser 88 rifle we commonly use is even worse than the Type 91 rifle that others have retired, and other countries are not comparable to the Chinese Empire at all, not to mention that this army is still the most quiet and elite Emperor's private army." ”
"Oh? Do you know them? Poke asked, somewhat surprised.
Wei Deman said: "Of course, the armbands worn by the Chinese Imperial Government Army are all golden dragon emblems, and you can see that their armbands are all bloody war knives. I have heard that they see themselves as swords in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, and that everyone who becomes an officer receives a saber with their oath engraved on the back of the sword, and even the soldiers have this phrase engraved on their guns. ”
"And that kind of thing?" Polk listened curiously, "How do you know so well?" And what is that sentence? ”
"Before I joined the army, I liked to explore all over the world, I was once rescued by a private expedition team of the Chinese Empire in the Southern Subcontinent, their marksmanship is amazing, and their fighting skills are amazing, and later I learned that they are just ordinary retired veterans of the Iron Army, and I know that these are what they told me." As for that sentence......"
Maybe it's because it's been too long, and Weedman's memory has been blurred, he raised his head and frowned and thought carefully, and suddenly said: "By the way, that sentence is 'our honor is loyalty'." ”
Wedeman's voice was a little loud, which immediately attracted the attention of several Predator soldiers, and one of them, a man with a second lieutenant epaulettes, walked over and said with a smile in a proficient Aberdeen language: "Hello, my name is Gao Wei. I just listened to this friend, and I seem to know us very well. As he spoke, he held out his right hand.
Seeing that the other party was very friendly, Waedman quickly wiped his hand full of gun oil on his military uniform, and also stretched out his right hand. The two shook hands and said, "I once knew several retired veterans of your army, these are what they told me, these friends have saved my life, so I have great respect for them." ”
Gao Wei nodded with a smile and said, "Since you are a friend of your predecessors, that is, my friend, do you want to smoke a cigarette?" He said as he took out a box of Zhonghua brand cigarettes from his jacket pocket.
Zhonghua brand cigarettes are recognized as the best brand in the world, and the officer still has the best taste, and it is said that only the green soft box cigarettes that are specially supplied by the Chinese Imperial Army are available.
Both Weedman and Bock were flattered to take a cigarette, and Gao Wei took out a fine steel windproof lighter and lit it for the two of them. After a burst of clouds and fog, the gap between the two sides narrowed a lot, and Poke took the opportunity to ask, "Second Lieutenant Gao, do you really have that line on your sword and gun?" Is that the line that Weedman said? ”
Gao Wei didn't answer, but smiled and pulled out the saber he was carrying and handed it over. Polk took the saber and found a row of square words carved into the center of the spine, and even though Polk did not know Chinese, he knew that Widman's words were true.
Smiling and handing the saber back to Gao Wei, Pock asked again, "Is it true that Wedman said that you are very skilled?" Gao Wei smiled and said a few words of Mandarin to the few soldiers of the Iron Blood Army behind him, causing them to laugh.
One of the big men stepped forward, his hand nimbly swiping, and the bayonet-laden rifle that Pok leaned against in the trench reached the other's hand. I saw that his hand did not hold the body of the gun, and with a light touch of his hand, the rifle took off into the air.
The big man flew his rifle up and down his body like a butterfly in his hand, but the sharp bayonet on the rifle could not hurt him in the slightest. In the narrow trench, he did such a difficult action, but did not show any sluggishness, and he played for more than ten minutes, before he finally flipped it with his hand, and the rifle returned to the same place steadily, and not even a little dirt fell on the wall of the trench next to him, and the ingenuity of his strength was really amazing.
Polk recovered from his astonishment, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you a god?" How is it possible for humans to play such beautiful tricks. Wademan, who spoke Mandarin, wanted to know the answer, so he quickly translated Pock's words.
Hearing Wedeman's translation, the warrior smiled: "What god, I'm just an ordinary soldier in the Iron and Blood Army, and there are many people in the army who are stronger than me. Hearing his words, the startled Weedman stuck out his tongue.
Gao Wei smiled and waved his hand, and said in Aberdeen: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he is the three-time champion of our division, and he has played this rifle smoothly, at least he is the strongest in our division." ”
Poke stuck out his tongue on the side and said, "This is already very amazing, your Iron Army is really strong. ”
The atmosphere between the two sides was very friendly, and the soldiers of the Jarman and the Predator quickly became acquainted. It was already nearly dusk when the Predators entered the position, and the Allied troops had already withdrawn to their positions to rest, and after the two sides had greeted and chatted with each other for so long, the sky was getting dark.
"Everybody's ready to strike." The commanders of the Iron Blood Army returned to their positions after the pre-battle meeting, and they immediately issued orders to the soldiers to prepare for the attack.
Wedeman and Pock's unit were fighting with the Predators, and they were going to be covering, and the two quickly moved the ammunition boxes to their feet, clearing the chambers with a strip and ready for battle. The preparations of Gao Wei and others were even more cumbersome, they filled their tactical pockets with all kinds of weapons and ammunition, carefully checked their guns and shoes, and at the same time put the battlefield short-distance communicator on their heads and buckled their steel helmets, and adjusted the frequency of calls with each other to prevent problems.
"Okay, quickly put up all the planks, without the bridge erection vehicle, we can only rely on manpower this time." A number of planks were erected on the trenches, and then the Predator soldiers carried some strange equipment on their backs, except for their rifles.
Heavy artillery rang out, this was the Yaman Empire's heavy artillery units in advance preparations, and the Yaman army would launch a feint attack on the entire front to attract the attention of the Entente troops for the Iron Army.
The air forces of the Chinese Empire, acting in conjunction with the Yaman Air Force, began night raids along the entire front. The air forces of the two sides are mixed, and with the elven pilots of the Chinese Air Force leading the way, they can barely fight at night.
The sky was pitch black, and the Sahr air force could not rise into the air at all, and they could only watch the other side launch an air attack and be helpless. The distant strike had just ended, led by two armored regiments of the Yaman Army, followed by the Jeeps and infantry of the Iron Blood, and a rapid assault forward through the planks laid in advance on the trenches.
The Sahr had long expected the Yaman army to strike from this direction to rescue the Bostonians, so after their assault began, a number of Sahr chariot units were soon thrown in this direction.
A large number of Saar Empire's Mark series chariots came to the chrysalis, and the slightly inferior Yaman chariots were suddenly at a disadvantage, and the momentum of the offensive was also contained. But soon the Jeep troops of the Iron Army in the rear caught up, and the soldiers on the cart listened to the large-caliber machine guns on the cart sweeping at the Sahr chariot.
In order to enhance the firepower, these 15 mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns were specially equipped with tungsten core armor-piercing shells, which were very powerful, and in the surprised eyes of the Yaman soldiers, these machine gun bullets actually penetrated the armor of the Sahr combat vehicle, killing the personnel inside. Some of the infantry who followed up also took off their bazookas of various calibers and inflicted lethal damage on enemy vehicles.
Under the attack of the Chinese Empire's endless anti-chariot weapons, the counter-charge of the Saar chariot troops was quickly suppressed, and the Iron Blood Army once again accelerated the pace of the attack.
In the last line of defense, the Sahr actually built a large group of fortresses, and the small-caliber artillery of the Yaman chariots did not do much to these reinforced concrete fortresses, and in a hurry, the infantry of the Iron Blood Army followed.
The on-board machine guns fired incessantly, blocking the firing port of the fortress, and some soldiers with two cylinders on their backs quickly crawled forward, and when they were twenty meters away from the firing hole of the fort, these soldiers quickly extended a long gun-like tube connected by a pipe to the front, and at the same time ignited a protrusion of the gun head with a lighter.
