Chapter 141 Self-made cleverness

Naturally, Sameer's rescue operation was not successful, and at night, he did not have any advantage at all. There were no walkie-talkies, no radios, and no night vision devices, and they wouldn't even know where they were if it weren't for the gunfire of the company's recruits who surrounded and suppressed enemy scouts. In this case, it would be a joke to rush into action. What's more, in order to be in a hurry, Sameer did not hide the movement generated during their march at all.

Hundreds of horsemen galloped together in the silence of the night, and the sound was like a string of firecrackers being lit in your ears when you were asleep. How could the fighters of the Night Stalker Special Reconnaissance Battalion not hear this level of movement. Seeing that more than half of the enemy scouts had been wiped out, and the rest were gradually falling into a desperate situation under the siege and interception of the recruits, the warriors of the night stalkers focused on the new enemies.

Although the fighters of the night stalkers did not carry machine guns, the rate of fire of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was 35~40 rounds per minute, and the effective range was 400 meters. The rate of fire of Type 56 submachine guns can reach 90-100 rounds per minute, and the rate of fire of single shots is 40 rounds per minute. Capable of accurate point fire at a single target within 300 meters, these two guns are simply alien weapons for people today. A hundred men defeated the hundreds of cavalry sent by the enemy, and Sameer was really a loser.

If so, it's nothing to Sameer. Adolf once told him that everyone makes mistakes, and the important thing is not to think of ways to prevent them, but to learn from them. They also don't want to think about what to do with those fighters who lost their lives because of their mistakes. The previous commanders were all Hessian mercenaries and the British allies who were 100% convinced of them, so naturally they would not say anything gossip to them. At present, the vast majority of them are militias from various colonial settlements.

These people joined the army just to have a meal, although there are many who really want to defend their homeland, but most of them have a passable attitude. And the commanders of these militias naturally just want to rely on these militia fighters to make a fortune in their own territory. It was all Adolf's suggestion, and they were all forcibly transferred to attack the famous Yanhuang Trading Company. The private soldiers of the Addams family, whose combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the regular field army, were defeated, not to mention these militias.

Already uneasy, when Sameer wanted to draw men from them as scouts, they refused for various reasons. Now, the elite warriors in his hands also failed as scouts. Not only did not a single one come back, but nearly six hundred cavalry were boarded. Of these, 400 were under their command, and it took Sameer a great deal of effort to get them out. When they came back, they were a little distressed by the loss. The militia was already short of money, and it was extremely difficult to form cavalry, so it was difficult to accumulate some strength, and a quarter of it was killed by Sameer at once.

In the army, it is natural that there will be more gossip. Everyone said that this Sameer was a waste, and without Adolf's support behind him, he would not be able to lead the army at all. This made Sameer angry, but this time he didn't think it through, and he had no reason to be angry. In order to prevent the spread of this slanderous information from expanding and affecting the morale of the army, Sameer could only launch an attack in advance. The infantry and artillery coordination tactics that Adolf had just explored were taught to him, and he felt that in the face of such tactics, Xiao Lin had no power to resist.

There is no way, Sameer did not participate in the last pursuit battle, and has been planning for the colony to change all the costumes of the 30,000 Hessian mercenaries. As an elder and an old superior, Adolf was naturally embarrassed to say this, and he also wanted to be face-saving. Therefore, Sameer didn't know that this infantry artillery coordination tactic was still stolen by Adolf from the company. At this time, the three trench lines of defense were also completed by the soldiers.

An army of 40,000, 10,000 Hessian elites, 30,000 garbage militia, and a lot of artillery. Even the eighteen-pound super-heavy guns, there were twenty of them. Charlie has made a lot of money, just like taking advantage of this opportunity to completely destroy the company. If the company takes advantage of this opportunity to become bigger, Charlie will not have a good time in the future. However, even so, with a solid front-loading artillery, Sholin still would not be afraid. Solid artillery also surpassed rear-loading artillery in armor-piercing ability only when the rear-loading blasting artillery had not yet developed maturely.

And if you want to succeed in breaking the armor, you must at least hit the target properly. Inside the three long trenches, there were two hundred artillery holes that could accommodate a platoon of soldiers. Sameer set up a position and first ordered some artillery test firing to adjust the parameters, and at this time, most of the guards were already in the anti-artillery holes in their respective defense areas under the leadership of the platoon commander. On the position, only a few clever fighters remained, holding Type 17 pistols to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of this opportunity to rush up.

Xiao Lin believed that the enemy did not have the courage to do so, after all, he was accidentally injured by his own artillery, and this kind of pressure was not something that any army could bear. However, if you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid of 10,000, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious. Most of these fighters are small in stature and hide under specially built extended ballistic shields, which are very unlikely to happen. The shelling, which lasted for half an hour, did no damage to the convoy fighters in the trenches.

There were only a dozen fighters, unlucky enough to be hit by shells that shattered the bulletproof shield above their heads and were wounded by splashes of sawdust. As soon as the shelling ended, the other fighters were naturally called out, and the wounded soldiers were first aided by the medical guards and transported to the back for treatment. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch the last train of this war, but if you are unlucky, you can only wait for the next opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Sameer was like an apprentice chef who cooked according to a recipe, and as soon as the shelling stopped, the army pressed down.

In order to show their talents and the strong combat effectiveness of the Hessian mercenaries to these militia generals who complained a lot, and let them force that stinky mouth, it was naturally the Hessian mercenaries who went first. Eight thousand musketeers led the way, followed by twenty-five thousand musketeers of the militia. As Adolf envisioned, the attacking forces on each battlefield were divided into three groups, each with a standard-bearer. The gunpowder bullets were all loaded by them in advance, because they were afraid that the gunpowder would slip out and accidentally pull the trigger and accidentally hurt their comrades, and each of them held the gun in a very funny position.

Platoon commanders were told that machine guns could not be exposed as long as there were not many enemies. It was also necessary to wait for the complete destruction of the enemy's artillery combat effectiveness before all the machine guns could be taken out. At this time, the convoy artillery was hurrying through the tracks of the previous shelling, calculating the enemy's artillery positions. Sameer was clever in learning one thing, all the artillery was disguised by them, and it was still hidden in the woodland, so far away that it was impossible to see it.

For the first time, the ballistics needed to be calculated, and the artillery of the escort team was a little slow, and the front-line fighters could only rely on the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle and the Type 17 pistol to stand up to the front. Even so, the firepower was enough to inflict enough casualties on the pointed troops. As soon as he approached the first trench two hundred and fifty meters away, a dense burst of firing rang out. The Type 17 pistol did not have this accuracy, but the enemies were piled together, and a strafing shot could hit a few.

The Yanhuang Type 1 used by the 10 battalions of the Escort Force is also a newly improved Yanhuang Type B, and the main enhancement is the effective firing range. In the hands of the veterans of the escort team, the hit rate of the target at a distance of 250 meters can reach more than 50 percent. As soon as the pointed troops were attacked, they began to shrink back, and the standard-bearers began to move, passing the coordinates of the target to be shelled to the back. Naturally, the soldiers in the trenches also received orders from the senior officers who had been observing the battlefield, and most of them quickly entered the anti-artillery holes next to them in turn.

And about one-third of the people took out the crude bulletproof shields they had prepared, and the three of them raised them together, crossed them, and then covered their heads, and the people squatted to complete the defense. The shells of the eighteen-pounder cannon are too heavy, and it is more troublesome to fire, so naturally they will not be added to it for the first time, and the most powerful cannon is the twelve-pounder gun. The fight was earth-shattering, but it was difficult to prepare to hit into the trench with slopes. The bulletproof shield was basically destroyed, and some of the soldiers were injured, and none of them were missing arms or legs.

This shelling, on the contrary, completely exposed the location of the artillery positions on the British side. Most of the front-loading guns were very bulky, and the British did not have mature technology for rubber tires in their hands, so they simply could not transfer the exposed guns in time. On the company's side, the heavy-fist Type 1 and Type 2 guns have long been loaded with ammunition. The assault consciousness artillery is even more dispersed in the front-line trenches, and the artillery is also there, and they all have walkie-talkies in their hands. Nearly 500 walkie-talkies and a large technical center processor make communication very timely.

"Coordinates 235, 147, wind southwest, intensity two, adjust the angle of fire, ten seconds ready. ”

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...... Three, two, one! Fire!"

"Boom!"

"Knock knock!"

Ten seconds was enough time for the long-trained Escort artillerymen to adjust the angle of fire of the guns, and at this time, the British artillerymen had finished cleaning the gunpowder from the breeches and were ready to use a dry handkerchief to reach in and wipe the water. With the sound of artillery firing, people with good hearing and good brains ran straight outside. And those who did not have a lot of brains stayed where they were, and were sent to their God by the artillery of the convoy.

At this time, at least fifty percent of the artillery power was annihilated. Sameer was almost stunned, he tried his best to hide his artillery, but he was still discovered. It was a little confusing, but he couldn't ignore it, and immediately let the small cannon and the eighteen-pounder cannon be dragged away.
