Chapter 387: Recovering North America
Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoA total of 150,000 invading troops of the Han Empire marched into the thirteen North American colonies from different directions!
Small detachments were sweeping and guarding the perimeter of the main force, while the large troops were marching like a roller!
The white militia of the North American colonies, which they thought were dangerous, were reduced to rubble by the bombardment of Armstrong's cannons, and together with the militia fighters who stood on it, went to see God and his old man......
The seemingly impregnable city walls crumbled after being frontally bombarded by heavy Armstrong siege guns!
The white colonists were horrified to find that under the unscientific artillery bombardment, the breastwork and diamond-shaped fortresses that could be relied on in the past became vulnerable!
An advanced shell loaded with yellow gunpowder is a crater as soon as it is fired!
The howitzer is the latest scientific research crystallization of the Han Empire, and it is also the largest infantry killing machine during the First World War, but the caliber of the Armstrong artillery of the Han Empire is far inferior to the large-caliber artillery of the First World War, but it is more than enough to bombard the North American white militia that is an era behind!
Louisville, Frankfurt, Nashville, Atlanta, Savannah, etc., have fallen!
Under the deterrence of Armstrong's artillery, the Maxine heavy machine gun did not have much power, and the panicked white militia broke and abandoned one city after another!
The previous slogan of the fight for freedom, under the roar of artillery, was so fragile!
I have to say that Zhao Dutian somewhat overestimated the will of these white colonists to resist......
He seems to have confused the pioneers of North America with the revolutionary masses on the European continent who shouted all day long about freedom, equality, fraternity, or else die!
Although these white colonists also longed for freedom and democracy, they were not polluted by all kinds of extremist ideas on the European continent, and the abandonment of the European suzerainty also dealt a further blow to their morale!
Originally, if the European continent had not been united, when the Han Empire attacked, the British would have instigated in the thirteen states of North America, sent some symbolic elite landings, and supported weapons and materials in the open, and the thirteen colonies of North America would definitely burst out with more than 10 times the combat effectiveness!
This is the most fundamental difference between the popular armed forces with foreign support and ordinary militias without foreign support!
In particular, the crushing firepower coverage of the Han Empire destroyed the self-confidence of the white militia who had no backers!
Those white militiamen who still insisted on guerrilla warfare had a very difficult time getting supplies after the fall of nearby towns!
It's good to say that the North American continent, which is rich in products, can also be satisfied by hunting and picking wild fruits, but weapons and ammunition have lost their sources!
The Han Empire adheres to the principle of completely recovering all weapons, not even a machete!
As for the white civilians who refused, they were all gathered and became live targets for Maxine's heavy machine guns......
Due to the bulkiness of Maxine's heavy machine guns, the white militia never engaged in frontal battles, so they were far less powerful on the battlefield than the Armstrong artillery, and the white militia defending the city only needed one round of charge from the American garrison to collapse after after round of artillery washing......
I couldn't wait for the soldiers of the Han Imperial Forest Army to run to the front line with Maxine heavy machine guns......
However, the use of the Maxine heavy machine gun for slaughter is a sharp weapon, although the white people in North America have been defeated again and again, the white civilians in the conquered areas are very unwelcome to the entry of the Han Empire troops, and they are completely indifferent!
Zhao Dutian was not polite, and directly forcibly apportioned the army's logistics supply consumption, and forcibly requisitioned white young men to serve as laborers, and took back all firearms and cold weapons!
Destroy on the spot!
Anyway, those outdated things are garbage to Zhao Dutian, and there are still a large number of eliminated flintlock pistols in the sealed arms of the Han Empire, after all, during the American War, the peak strength of the Han Empire once exceeded one million, and the remaining flintlock pistols were also sealed a lot!
So, all the backward weapons that are only useful to the white guerrillas should be disposed of!
The measures of the Han Empire undoubtedly touched the scales of the white colonists, and riots began to occur one after another in the occupied places!
Then, it was the moment when the Maxine heavy machine gun was in full swing!
This kind of murderous weapon, which can theoretically produce 600 rounds of ammunition a minute, can be called a killing weapon for those white mobs who have no formation and no cover!
There is a saying in later generations that there is no revolution in the era of breech guns, although this sentence is a bit far-fetched, but it also reflects from the side that the development of weapons has made it a matter of course for a few people to defeat the majority!
Only a team of more than a dozen people is needed to suppress thousands of armed mobs in cooperation with a group of American garrisons!
After being brutally suppressed, the garrison army executed the families, relatives and friends of a large number of white mobs who participated in the riots, and the ancient and cruel Zhulian Nine Clans were used in the thirteen states of North America!
Under such brutal killings, the number of white civilians in North America has plummeted, and at the same time, it has become more stable!
The prestige of Maxine's heavy machine guns and Armstrong artillery spread throughout North America, and even in the later siege battles, the white militia who were afraid of being slaughtered by Zhao Dutian took the initiative to surrender!
These white colonists came all the way to North America, not to fight, but to survive!
It is fundamentally different from the revolutionary madmen of the European continent!
Soon, the thirteen states of North America were completely pacified, and less than a month after the surrender of the thirteen states of North America, the autonomous regions of the Canadian region announced their surrender, willing to accept all the conditions proposed by the Han Empire and voluntarily disarmed!
The expected and difficult war in the Thirteen Colonies of North America went unexpectedly smoothly, and under the power of machine guns and Armstrong artillery, the white militia who had been shouting furiously before were as docile as frightened white rabbits......
After the defeat of the entire thirteen colonies in North America, including the number of soldiers who died in the suppression of the riots, there were less than 10,000 people!
More than ninety percent of them are Garrison of the Americas!
The next thing is to completely clean up the weapons in the hands of the white civilians below, there are still many relatives and friends in the thirteen colonies of North America who have been killed, and the guerrillas who are not in the same place as the empire, these things need time to be slowly smoothed out!
After unifying North America in the true sense, Zhao Dutian redivided the administrative regions of North America!
The original Canadian colonies were the Imperial Canadian Region, the California and Mexico regions remained unchanged, the original Louisiana and New France merged into the Central Region of North America, and the Thirteen Colonies of North America and Florida on the East Coast merged into the Eastern Region of North America!
Each region has a specific administrative province!
