Chapter 185 Victory is not easy to come by
The cavalry erupted in frenzy, completely disregarding life and death and the handsome cavalry slashing and fighting. For a while, he actually resisted the charge of the British cavalry, and destroyed the enemy at a very fast speed. Xiao Lin was almost stunned and didn't react, seeing that the handsome infantry was about to rush up, Xiao Lin felt that the people commanding the night owls and the personal guard regiment bypassed the cavalry that were fighting, and went forward to snipe the approaching British infantry. The Guards Regiment and the Night Stalker Special Reconnaissance Battalion no longer need to cover their own cavalry.
Under the frenzied attack of the company's cavalry, the number of British cavalry approached the company's cavalry at a rapid speed. This kind of deadly combat method is extremely depleting to equipment. Without that professional Type 88 stab-proof suit, the cuirasses on these cavalrymen would not have been able to support this high-intensity attack at all. The cuirass resisted a little, and the main effect was the stab-proof suit. However, Xiao Lin estimated that after this battle, these stab-proof suits could only be eliminated.
Xiao Lin was a little distressed, but compared to the victory or defeat of the battle and the life and death of the soldiers, he could still accept the loss of equipment. Adolf's last resort was broken by the company's cavalry with their lives. At this point, Adolf seemed to have no choice at all. However, Sholin underestimated his resolve, and Adolf, unable to bear the insults given by Sholin, was determined to pull Shawlin as a backing before he fell into the abyss.
Even if most of them were destroyed, he still had a lot of new guns in his hands, all of which were made of steel. However, he still couldn't carry the shells of the 82mm mortar, and Adolf kept these hard-won guns from being exposed in order to preserve them. The new eighteen-pound cannon, because Xiao Lin was angry before, asked them to attack the Type 84 bridge-erecting vehicle, but they were knocked by the Raider Type 2, and it was gone. The rest are twelve-pound guns.
New steel was hard to come by, and it was too wasteful to make small cannons, and only 12 and 18 pound heavy guns, made of new steel, would not be wasted. Adolf hid twenty-five twelve-pounder cannons, all piled at the back of the labyrinth. When the men of the field division broke through, thinking that they had won and that there would be no more enemies, when they gathered together, the twelve guns, which were hidden in the tents and still blocked by wooden planks, would fire directly.
Adolf's study of the human heart is no worse than that of ordinary people in the 21st century. Shawlin hasn't taught psychology yet, and people in the company don't have this concept yet. The soldiers of the field division were divided into 19 routes, entered through 19 entrances and exits, and fought all the way, and the British troops swore to resist to the death, but they were always defeated by the combination of machine gun mortars and submachine guns. It's not that they don't use force, it's really the generational gap of hundreds of years between weapons, which really can't be made up by tactics and will.
Even the sword of the new army is not of great use, and the three guns have to be replaced by the wheel, which will inevitably waste some time. And even the bolt reload of the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle is a little faster than this. Therefore, generally speaking, there are really very few people who can completely release three shots, and most of the new troops armed with a sharp sword are sent to God by machine guns or submachine guns before firing three shots.
However, the field division was not without casualties. After all, there are so many people, and it is not standing in an open area for them to shoot, so naturally it is impossible that there is no situation where they are hit. At the beginning, Adolf's discarded artillery used tactics to indeed give the field division soldiers who did not react a head-on blow. Except for Elner's side, because of Elner's dog nose, he reacted in advance, and there were three to five casualties in other places.
Fortunately, the fighters of the field division were trained to have a conditioned reflex and lie down in time to avoid being hit by direct artillery fire at the vital points. There are only two who die the most, and the others are one or even none. Most of them were injured, and then the first to enter was a combat squad, and those who were behind saw the casualties of their comrades in front, so they naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, and they were very careful along the way. Every time you get around a corner, you'll be ready to dodge at any time. The mortars came from behind, and they did not relax.
It's just that sometimes the British army will ignore it and just hide in the tent and shoot, injuring many people. After all, after this battle, the soldiers of the 10,000 field division suffered more than 2,000 casualties. finally hit here, and it is inevitable that they will have a little relaxation and happiness in their hearts. When they arrived at this last venue, they observed for a while, and found that there was no enemy, and they all began to sit on the ground and recover their strength, and Erna didn't know why, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.
There was a sense of foreboding that haunted him. He used his dog's nose again, sniffing around the entire final field. As soon as he smelled the familiar smell of burning arquebus, Elner's mouth just opened, and the arquebus was already burning, and then, tragedy happened. Elna's voice still played a big role. Hearing Elner's "lie down," more than 6,000 field division soldiers all lay on the ground on their reflexes, and then, grapeshot shells loaded into the 25-pounder guns shot out.
The number of casualties of the soldiers of the field division has doubled at once, and the number of dead is still less than a thousand, but almost half of the wounded. The garrison division was okay, because of Xiao Lin's extravagant methods, he did not suffer too many casualties.
The cavalry, also suffered a lot of losses, 1,300 cavalry, and the last one who was able to ride on the horse to breathe, only 900 remained. The only people who didn't have dead were the people from the Guards Regiment and the Night Stalker Special Reconnaissance Battalion. Both teams are the best equipped and hard-trained existences in the company, and even if they are outnumbered, they can find suitable cover on their own. Even if you are injured, you will choose a suitable hiding place and wait for the rescue of the medical staff.
In the end, the number of casualties among the 20,000 soldiers who attacked reached nearly 8,000. Fortunately, the enemy has been completely defeated. In the end, Adolf was carried away by his own guards, and of the 40,000 or so British troops, only more than 10,000 escaped. The Forces nouvelles did have a strong fighting will, but it also caused them to suffer a high casualty rate. By the time of the final count, there were only about 4,000 left of the 13,000 new troops.
Adolf didn't want to leave, so he wanted to meet Xiao Lin, the opponent who had made him deflated all the time, but he couldn't stand the black hand of the guard, and he hit him in the back, knocking him out and taking him away. In this way, Xiao Lin won the victory, and the people of the field division were tired and wounded, and they could no longer move. The work of cleaning up the battlefield can only be done by those who leave it to the garrison. The garrison division was not easy today, he threw a grenade all night, and with the sound of the grenade exploding, his hands hurt and his ears were buzzing, so he could only take his time.
Xiao Lin looked at it, it was better not to clean it up. After picking up some useful belongings and materials, the 20,000 men slowly withdrew from the camp, and then returned to their own towns according to the previously allocated defense areas. The militiamen received the news that they had organized the hand-boiling of hot water and the preparation of hot meals. As for the original British army camp, it was directly ignited by a fire. Even if it was the steel of those guns, Xiao Lin didn't plan to ask for it, and he had to re-smelt it into iron, and it would be okay to burn it first.
The three trench traps outside the camp have become firebreaks, and they can't burn without ignitions. Leave a few people and watch the camp, just in case don't let the fire spread. No matter how many casualties there were, no matter how many losses, Sholin's purpose was achieved. After this war, the British, it should be said that Charlie Mill had no more land forces, only a fleet, which could guarantee a little deterrence.
Xiao Lin has already made the company strong, even if there is no income, it doesn't matter, as long as this image is created, the future plan will be easy to implement. Xiao Lin didn't stay long, he had a celebration banquet with everyone, and that evening, he returned to the 21st century. Yu Wei was waiting for him in their nest, and when she saw Xiao Lin like this, she knew that it was a victory, so she helped the drunk Xiao Lin clean up, and then began to prepare for tomorrow's things.
Xiao Lin has a lot to do, and he must rush to the Republic of Belan early tomorrow morning. This time, he really knew the benefits of armored power. Without armored forces, relying only on that bit of cavalry is really frightening, armored vehicles and tanks, it is absolutely impossible for Sorento to give Xiao Lin some, and no matter how backward it is, even the Type 59 tanks will also pose a threat to the Belan Wehrmacht, which has the majority of infantry. Therefore, what Xiao Lin wanted was to develop it himself.
There was no need to be advanced or able to block those front-loading guns, so Sholin chose a tank - the Soviet MS-1 light tank. This tank can be said to be the first generation of tanks on the right track for tank development. The body armor is 18mm in the front, 16mm in the sides, 16mm in the rear, and the turret armor is 18mm in the front. The crew consists of only two members, the commander and the driver, with an engine power of 43 hp, a maximum speed of 32 km/h, and a cornering speed of 34 degrees per second.
The MS-1 tank had a 37mm caliber tank gun that could be fitted with a 7.62mm caliber coaxial machine gun. Soviet firing was capable of carrying 74 shells, and with a slight reduction, it was possible to carry an extra one or two hundred rounds of machine-gun ammunition. As for the off-road ability and the shortcomings of the engine, it is not a problem now. Because, in the 21st century, the engine of any car is better than the tank engine used in the design at that time.
It just so happened that one of the engineers he had recruited had a Soviet background, and it was said that his ancestor was still a researcher at that time, so he had some information.
