Chapter 172: The Power of the Machine Gun
Chapter 172: The Power of the Machine Gun
After Gao Jingguang looked through the binoculars for a while, he realized that the herald had just said that these guys were the army, and they were simply too exalted! Tattered clothes, some blunt firewood knives, even so, less than half of the people still had iron weapons in their hands, and most of them only had spears sharpened from bamboo or wooden sticks! He had only learned in the history class in the army that during the Yuan Dynasty, in order to prevent the Han people from resisting, the Mongol rulers confiscated all the weapons of the people, and even several families shared a kitchen knife! I didn't expect the Dutch to play like this on the island of Java! Although he won't be grateful to them, these guys have really done his troops a great favor!
"Tell the soldiers, don't be in a hurry yet, put these guys in and then fight!"
"Yes, company commander!" the herald received the order and hurriedly ran down!
This time, the Third Company dug a ring fortification, and almost every 10 meters there was a light machine gun, and 20 meters was a heavy machine gun, and the whole formation was very open! The reason for doing so was to give full play to its own superiority in firepower to the greatest extent, increase the interception area, and go all out to kill and damage the enemy!
"Patriarch!Did you find the Chinese army ahead?" Bachai asked as he panted and ran over, a little nervous.
"What? Chinese? Didn't they all resist the landing force of the Dutch and Portuguese on the coast? How could they appear here?" Weng Dong grabbed him by the neck and asked in a panicked and inwardly voice. He knew very well the strength of his tribe, and wanted to deal with the squadrons that had defeated the Dutch and were armed with rifles and artillery, and his subordinates who didn't even have muskets rushed forward was almost no different from sending them to death!
"Patriarch, there are less than two hundred of them!
After listening to his words, Weng Dong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, his tribal armed forces are now nearly 30,000, and even if only 200 people are filled with human lives, they can kill all these squadrons!
As soon as he let go of his hand and let go of Bachai, Weng Dong couldn't help but ask, "Where are they now?"
After rubbing his neck, he gasped a few times, and felt a lot more comfortable in his chest before he hurriedly said: "Patriarch, they are guarding the road where we entered Surabaya City! The distance from us is less than a thousand meters!"
After hearing his words, Weng Dong's expression was shocked, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes! They are not far from their goal! "Tell the people to speed up, and the wealth of the Chinese is right in front of us!"
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Niu Zhitao looked excited, let out a strange scream in his mouth, and the natives who rushed towards their position gradually turned red, and their teeth clucked! Unlike other comrades-in-arms, he was a local Chinese in Java who joined the army after the Huo Jiajun conquered Java Island! Originally, he had a happy family, and he could grow up happily and inherit his father's manor and land in Semarang! Unfortunately, all this was destroyed by the natives on the island when he was ten years old! He will never forget the rampant laughter of his parents and murderers who fell in a pool of blood! If he hadn't been hidden under the bed by his mother, he would have been killed! However, although he escaped in the end, he lost his family and became a beggar who grew up eating hundreds of meals! In the past ten years, he has become accustomed to seeing the natives of Java, instigated by the Dutch, rampantly killing the Chinese, plundering the wealth and wives and daughters of the Chinese, but without the slightest punishment! Although he also wanted to kill all the natives on the island and avenge his parents and compatriots, he was so weak that he had no ability to realize his revenge! However, the Huo family army that rose up in the South Seas gave him hope! Therefore, when the 3rd Marine Division reached Semarang, he immediately went up and asked to join the army!
It is a pity that according to the military regulations of the Huo Jiajun, recruits must undergo three months of comprehensive training before they can be assigned to combat units! Therefore, in the end, he did not catch up with the war to exterminate the Dutch on the islands of Java and Sumatra! He has always regretted it, but after completing the recruit training and being assigned to the third company, he finally caught up with the military operation to exterminate the natives, which made the excited Niu Zhitao so excited that he didn't sleep all night last night! His mind was full of the tragic situation when his parents were killed and the helpless wails of his compatriots before they died!
"Now it's finally my turn to take revenge!" Niu Zhitao held the Type 80 heavy machine gun in his hand, his eyes stared at the front sight and kept approaching, the hideous native, the right index finger was already sitting on the trigger!
"Smack......!"
A crisp gunshot echoed in the sky above the position, and all the Huo Jiajun soldiers were familiar with the sound of this 9mm caliber Black Star pistol!
Almost as soon as the gunfire fell, more than 30 tongues of fire burst out from the Huo Jiajun's position! The ferocious bullets, with hatred and rage, swept like water towards the indigenous militants who were already 80 meters close to the position!
The dull sound of heavy machine guns, the clatter of light machine guns, the crisp sound of Type 80 rifles, the violent explosion of Type 60 mortar shells, the sound of bullets tearing ** breaking bones, and the wails of the death of the natives constitute an elegy for hell!
Weng Dong, who was standing in the distance, was almost completely stunned by the stumps and broken arms and red blood all over the ground, he never thought that it was just a squadron of less than 200 people, with these devil-like weapons! It was difficult for his 30,000-strong army to move forward!
Because there were too many people, the natives in the back didn't know what was happening in front! Still dominated by the greed in their hearts, they squeezed forward violently! And the people in front were completely stunned by this scene of the Asura hell and the sharp weapons of the Chinese! Although they struggled hard, they were still inevitably pushed onto the battlefield by the crowd behind! Then the machine gun of the Huo family army was torn to shreds! Of course, the only one who could do this was the Type 80 heavy machine gun! The 12.7mm caliber thick bullet truly interprets what is the real tyranny! As long as it hits, the stump and broken arm may be the best end!
The terrain of Nanyang was originally dominated by mountains and hills, and it was difficult for a large-scale army to deploy, and the indigenous troops who did not know how to fight only knew how to rush forward in a swarm! They did not know how to effectively evade the blows of machine guns! Therefore, in the end, they all fell victim to more than 30 light and heavy machine guns in three companies!
"Clan... Patriarch! These Chinese are so powerful that we can't rush through at all! Let's retreat!" Bachai, who pursed his lips, his face was pale, and his legs trembled were really afraid! If possible, he would never want to provoke these demon-like squadrons! They were so powerful! They were even more ferocious and terrible than the Dutch in his impression!
"Okay, withdraw... Retreat!" Looking at the scene of a river of blood flowing in front of him, Weng Dong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said in a panic.
"I want to go! That's so easy!" Wei Hai grabbed himself shè Cheng reached two thousand meters, the 7.62mm caliber, Type 82 sniper rifle that had just been successfully developed by the Huo Jiajun Taiping Military Factory, with a thick camouflage net on his body, aiming at a thousand two hundred meters away, holding an old-fashioned single-shot rifle in his hand, the middle-aged man who looked panicked, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked!
"Smack...!" The heavy sound of a sniper rifle was not too loud in the continuous sound of machine guns, and it did not attract anyone's attention! However, Wei Hai could clearly see the guy's blood splashing and his head like a broken watermelon from his quadruple scope! He had seen a lot of such scenes since he was exterminating the headhunters in Nanyang Province! So he wasn't too surprised! He just quickly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the natives who looked like they were of a very high status, and shot again and again! Almost every shot missed! In a while, the two magazines and twenty rounds of ammunition have all been fired!
At this time, after nearly 10,000 people died, the natives finally collapsed! Throwing down the knives and guns in their hands, they reflexively cried for their fathers and mothers, and fled backwards as fast as they could!
And the soldiers of the Third Company of the Huo Family Army did not continue to fight for a while, nor did they catch up! It was not that they were afraid of being ambushed, but that the bones of nearly 10,000 people in front of them were piled up into a hill, and the red blood and water gathered into a river of blood that meandered into the distance! The soldiers of the Third Company, who had recovered from the fierce battle, looked at the hellish scene in front of them, and then looked at the machine gun in their hands! They couldn't help but be stunned!
Smelling the strong smell of blood, looking at the soldiers who couldn't help but start vomiting in their habits! Gao Jianguang frowned, took out his pocket watch and looked at it!
"Less than five minutes??"
He quickly wiped his eyes, and after looking at it several times, he was convinced that he was indeed not mistaken! Looking at the 30-odd light and heavy machine guns whose barrels had turned red, he was completely stunned!
After this battle, the tremendous lethality of the machine guns aroused tremendous repercussions within the Huo Jiajun! Almost all the troops attached importance to the light and heavy machine guns that were only used as support weapons in the past!
