Twenty-seven and five wild cats

"Are you gone?"

Hearing the voice of the battalion commander Hu Sangui, Li Daniu hurriedly raised his head, looked at the airship troops who had completed the bombing and disappeared behind the horizon, let out a long sigh of relief, and waved his hand vigorously. (Vertex Hand Hit)

Seeing Li Daniu's signal, Hu Sangui immediately beckoned the soldiers to get out of the grove where they were hiding, and moved away from the eight piles of thick branches in front of him that were taller than a person.

After the last Motianling sniper battle, the first regiment and three battalions were almost beaten and withdrawn, but fortunately, the young master immediately ordered the third battalion to be rebuilt after learning about it, and also awarded the title of the army's first hero battalion.

With the strong support of the General Staff and the army commander, and in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the three battalions was not reduced, almost all the recruits were recruited from the reserve units that had been trained for a long time, rather than those who were directly trained from Liaodong.

This made Hu Sangui so happy that he wiped his tears, and even when the young master and the chief of staff came to present the medals and the collective honor of the hero battalion to everyone, he almost held the young master's thigh and kowtowed.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't wait for long to be happy, and the third battalion suddenly received an order to be stationed near a certain place in Changbai Mountain, where even people couldn't see a figure, and was not only transferred away from the front line of the Yalu River, but also ordered to prohibit active contact with the outside world, which made Hu Sangui almost fall into despair.

But he didn't expect that on the day the troops arrived, three strange cars drove into the camp under the heavy protection of the gendarmerie brigade, which made his eyes and all the soldiers widen.

As an old soldier and a battalion commander, the car is not new to him, because when the collective medal was awarded, the young master specially approved two military cars for the third battalion, but after seeing the three strange cars that arrived, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Because this car is so weird, not only is the front windshield almost tightly covered by steel plates, leaving only a slit observation window, but also the front covered steel plate is eight mm thick enough to fire a low-grade 7.62 mm bullet within 100 meters.

And not only the front of the car, but also both sides are covered with slightly thinner steel plates, only the only door in and out of the back does not have any steel plates, and the whole car is like a big iron coffin.

This was not the most exciting thing for him, until several technicians put a modified Maxim machine gun with a much thinner barrel on the roof of the car and added three shields, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I don't dare to say that I have experienced a hundred battles, but at least I have seen a tragic battle, I have seen the importance of the Maxim machine gun, and I know the advantages and disadvantages of this machine gun that is not satisfactory in weight and movement, so after seeing the machine gun being pressed into the car, they all immediately clenched their fists excitedly.

At that time, although the machine gun was also equipped with wheels, after all, it was too heavy and very inconvenient to move, and it had to shoot continuously in the face of a wave of * charges, and in the end it was almost destroyed by a breakdown and the enemy's close-range shooting.

If the Maxim machine gun could move quickly at that time and did not have to stick to a certain point, then the Russians could have pulled enough distance to slowly consume them if they wanted to charge, then they had to launch a desperate counter-charge in the end, and they almost lost the size of the battalion.

Under the cover of the long winter mountain closure, all the three battalions participated in the inspection and testing of these three armored vehicles, which were called armored vehicles, for several months in a row, and the whole battalion painstakingly read the combat manual called the coordination of the infantry vehicles compiled by the young master, and provided a lot of valuable suggestions for improving the armored vehicles.

When the third battalion tossed the three armored vehicles apart, and a month after walking out of Changbai Mountain, eight brand-new armored vehicles named Wildcat Type 1 after widening tires and other technical improvements finally officially entered the third battalion.

It's a pity that due to the narrow mountain road in Yizhou, not to mention the Wildcat armored vehicles, it is difficult to even pack horses, so the third battalion has always been regarded as a reserve force, and this new armored vehicle must be kept strictly secret, so it has not been able to catch the battle across the river.

However, this situation is finally going to change today, Incheon to Seoul is almost a flat river except for the Han River, and Incheon is the earliest port of opening in North Korea, and the road from here to Seoul is very smooth, enough for wild cats to gallop

The only regret is that due to the sharp increase in weight, the car can only run at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour for a little more than two hours, but this is more than enough, and the distance from Incheon to Seoul is only 33 kilometers in the sky.

Under the urging of the crank handle, the exhaust pipe of the eight wild cats suddenly spewed out billowing black smoke, choking the soldiers coughing again and again, and before everyone could react, the horse army had already climbed into the machine gun position, and after slapping the roof twice, the first one rushed out of the camouflage.

Since he took over his brother's class and became one of the few machine gunners in the battalion who participated in the battle of Ferris Ridge, he naturally occupied the No. 01 car at the head, every time he saw this new armored car, he couldn't help but think of his dead brother, if there was such a mobile machine gun car at that time, even if there were tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, he must have been nailed to the position with his brother's ability to play point fire with machine guns, and finally hit by stray bullets.

"Departure"

Hu Sangui excitedly got into the third Wildcat through the back door, because each Wildcat could carry five people, a driver, a co-pilot and three machine-gun squad soldiers, and the battalion commander Hu Da naturally occupied a co-pilot position.

In the distance, there was already a dense gunfire, and countless comrades-in-arms of the first division had already formed an anxiety with the Japanese army, although the warship bombed for three hours, and the airship also dropped dozens of tons of bombs, but those Japanese soldiers obviously learned the ability of the third battalion in the Motianling at the beginning, and every time they encountered artillery bombardment, they shrunk into a ball to dodge, so the damage was not very large.

"Grandma, dare to learn from you Hu Sanye"

Hu Sangui raised his binoculars and saw the Japanese soldiers squirming in the trench, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, and with a loud roar, he slapped the steel plate and ordered to speed up, and a few minutes later, eight wild cats rushed into the battlefield with three battalions hiding behind their steel bodies-

Hasegawa gasped for breath rapidly, his face turned pale from inhaling too much gunsmoke, dodging the shells, and luckily avoiding the strange things that could fly and drop bombs, had already exhausted everyone, and if it weren't for the strict discipline and the urging of the officers next to him, maybe he would have turned around and left.

Beside him, there were two charred corpses of comrades, they were both killed after being thrown into the trench by the bombs that fell from the sky, this scene still makes him palpitate, but now is not the time to think about it, he hurriedly raised his gun, and pressed a colorful figure a few hundred meters away into the crosshairs.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a series of chirping sounds sounded from his side, and the mound in front of him was suddenly beaten into dust, so frightened that he quickly retracted his head, he couldn't understand, why were they all rifles, and the soldiers of the Pacific Army on the opposite side were obviously faster than him?

After the tweeting passed, Hasegawa took a few deep breaths, puffed up his cheeks and raised his head again, but before he could find the fleeing figure, the scene in front of him made him completely freeze again.

In the eyes of the eyes, a strange thing that had never been seen before rushed out of the distant woods, it emitted black smoke, like a frightened wild horse on a rampage, and all its companions in its way would be torn to pieces by the long tongue of fire on top.

What is that?

Hasegawa felt like he was about to go crazy, from the dense cannonballs, to the big eggs that flew overhead, to the powerful bombs, to the weird big guy in front of him who could move with black smoke, what else did they do?

Before he could figure out what the thing on the other side was, tongues of fire swept towards him, bullets raining down on the trenches, hundreds of his companions pierced their bodies and their heads out, and when a splash of blood mixed into his eyes, the strange thing that emitted black smoke had been swept from one to eight, swept in a neat column.

"Bang bang."

Suddenly, countless gunshots rang out in the position, and almost all of the partners pressed the strange black smoke into the rifle crosshairs, but they were soon disappointed, because everyone found that no matter how hard they tried, the bullet could only hit a few sparks on the opponent's body, and scratched a white spot, and it could not hurt a single bit.

The Wildcat was not fast, it could be said to be as slow as a snail compared to the whistling airship, but it was much faster than the infantry on its feet, and under the protection of the armor, it almost swaggered to a distance of three hundred meters from the trench.

"Da-da-da-da."

The unique sound of Makqin machine gun fire, even Hasegawa, who had retracted into the trench, could still hear it clearly, and the bullets were shuttling around, so frightened that he almost shrunk into a ball, and those partners who didn't have time to dodge, or who wanted to test the shooting, were directly torn apart by the rain of bullets just after they came out.

A partner next to him, his face turned blue with fright, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he turned around and was about to run back, but when he just climbed out of the trench, it was as if a bomb had been planted in his body, and it was violently cracked and broken into several pieces.

His arm fell in front of Hasegawa, looking at the blood that was still gushing out of the broken place, Hasegawa's eyes were already a large area of whites, and when countless soldiers of the third battalion with guns and low bodies flashed out from behind the wildcat armored car, and threw grenades into the trench accurately, the entire trench seemed to explode.

Looking at the grenades that had fallen to his feet, smoking gunpowder, and had been imitated but only equipped with a few grenades due to lack of materials, Hasegawa was trembling and just wanted to kick his feet away, when he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his ears were filled with the sound of explosions, and he completely lost consciousness.

Ma Jun would not care about the life and death of the Japanese private who was suppressed by himself, huddled in the trench and finally killed by a grenade from his comrades, he pulled the trigger rigidly, his eyes swept over every guy in this trench who tried to poke out his head like a falcon, as soon as he found it, he immediately turned his machine gun and shuttled bullets until the opponent was completely broken.

Unable to cross the trench, the eight Wildcats began to slowly turn around less than fifty meters away from the trench and drove parallel along the trench, and under the suppression of machine guns, the Japanese soldiers in the trench were either killed by a large number of grenades or exploded by bullets flying everywhere.

"Changing Bullets"

Pulling the trigger, seeing that the red part of the cartridge belt appeared, Ma Jun immediately shouted, and the loader hiding in the car quickly poked out half of his head, took the canvas cartridge belt handed by another partner, and immediately stuffed the new cartridge belt into the chamber of the gun after the red cartridge belt was swallowed by the machine gun.

The Maxim machine gun, which had just slowed down the rate of fire for the change of bullets, broke out again, and the gunpowder gas drove the circulation between the muzzle water pipe and the cooling water tank, and the hot barrel continued to ensure the normal operation of the machine gun under a steady stream of cold water.

A few minutes later, the sniper trench, which was only a few kilometers away, was turned into a hornet's nest, and when the soldiers of the first team of the third battalion rushed into the trench, the position that the Japanese had painstakingly learned to build finally began to break down.

But before Ma Jun could get excited, a cannonball fired from between several piles of firewood and tree branches 500 meters away caused the No. 4 car in front of him to burst out of sparks, this scene immediately made him seriously congested, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and swept over.

The barrage of rainstorm smashed the location of the cannon into a foliage, and even the trees next to it were pierced, and several Japanese artillerymen did not even shout, and they became a pile of minced meat.

It turned out that the Korean puppet army who had fled by the crying father and mother who had been bombed by the airship was under the threat of Japanese bayonets, and launched a charge under the threat of Japanese bayonets.

This scene made the two people in a special airship holding binoculars hovering at an altitude of nearly two thousand meters laugh.

Unlike the standard Hippopotamus class, this slightly smaller airship with a new enclosed pod is not only protected by thick armor, but also uses safer and more expensive helium for the first time in the overhead airbag.

The reason for such a strict protection was the fact that the airship was built specifically for the General Staff, and in the closed pod not only eight seats were arranged, but also three radios were carried specifically for air command.

This airship, which had just completed its tests, welcomed its most important guests on its first expedition, so much so that the captain was so frightened that he directly set the minimum altitude at two thousand meters, and ordered to stay at least three thousand meters away from the combat circle.

Because Young Master Li is still on the airship

Li Mo smiled slightly, put down the binoculars and stuffed a toffee into his mouth, although the Japanese are very good at learning, they heard that in the battle of Motianling, their troops used trenches, plus machine guns and artillery as backing to block tens of thousands of Russian troops, so they also learned this method, and prepared to cooperate with machine guns and artillery to block the enemy.

But they obviously didn't learn well enough, first of all, Inchon lacked the dangerous place of Motianling, and the Japanese trenches were obviously too little dug, even if they didn't invest in armored vehicles, two trenches of no more than three or four kilometers could not stop the first division with a large number of grenades and mortars, not to mention that the previous naval guns and airships had destroyed most of the heavy equipment of the Japanese army.

The Wildcat 1 armored car that participated in the first battle was obviously not satisfactory to Li Mo, the speed was 20 kilometers per hour, which was not as good as riding a bicycle, and the No. 4 car that was hit just now was because it couldn't dodge, the power of the Maxim machine gun was good, but the range was still too close, and the bullet penetration was obviously insufficient when encountering sandbags and other obstacles, not to mention the two-wheel drive body, not to mention off-road and breaking through trenches.

If the wheeled armored vehicles equipped with rapid-fire cannons in later generations were scored 10 points, then the Wildcat would probably only be able to score 1 point, but this point has now become the last straw that crushed the Japanese.

Because this wild cat, wrapped in steel, is already like a madman with hair all over his body, raises his claws, shows his white teeth, and tastes the smell of blood, even an elephant dares to bite a few bites.

Moreover, after seeing the failure of the trenches, the Japanese had lost patience and returned to the traditional way of warfare, trying to use the Korean puppet army to attrition and block the eye, and actually adopted a dense charging formation.

This scene can't help but remind him of the Russo-Japanese War in history, General Nogi Nonishi, who is known as the god of the Japanese Army, who used crowd tactics to finally drown the Russian army equipped with machine guns and artillery, but unfortunately they encountered seven Wildcat armored vehicles that were put into actual combat for the first time, and there were the first batch of soldiers of the first division behind them.

Unless the Japanese could go back to where they were before the war and connect the trenches together, the 1st Division, with seven Wildcat 1 armored vehicles as sharp knives, would be enough to tear apart any line of defense.

The sound of machine guns and explosions, even if you are thousands of meters away, you can still hear it very clearly, gunsmoke everywhere, pinches of flames from all over the battlefield, seven Wildcat armored vehicles that have been put into actual combat for the first time have been inserted into those puppet troops like red blades, the rain of bullets tore the air, burst the body, and a group of soldiers fell like cutting wheat.

Li Mo could even see that a few lucky people dodged the bullets, and the frightened puppet soldiers even forgot to escape, and were directly crushed into meatloaf by the wild cat.

After a few minutes of close-range strafing, the Korean puppet army finally couldn't resist, ignoring the shouts of the Japanese soldiers behind them, they spread their feet and began to flee, once the rout happened, let alone the Japanese army who was helpless in the face of armored vehicles, even if Li Mo went to command.

From the Jinghai ship, to the triple mounted artillery. From rapid-fire technology for naval guns, to radio communication and navigation. From ranging and primary fire control systems. From new submarines and torpedoes, to airships and wildcats in front of them.

In this battle, there are already a lot of things that have been exposed, although more than half of them, including white phosphorus incendiary bombs, tube withdrawal technology, fire control technology, and delay technology to improve the accuracy of the triple artillery, it will take some time for the Western powers to crack it.

Although unexposed submarines, torpedoes, radios and steam turbines, and oil-fired boilers are their real killer features, no one knows how long it will take for these technological powers to break through, although last time some scientists were clear, so that they can guarantee at least a decade of leadership in these fields, but what if?

No one knows

Therefore, the military action should be put to an end, and the most urgent thing is to return to the road of diplomacy, provoke contradictions and competitions among various countries, divert the attention of the Far East, and digest and absorb the current achievements.

It's time to continue pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Thinking of this, Li Mo smiled: "Let's go." Back in Arthur, the German fleet may have arrived. ”
