Text Chapter 178 Temporary Retreat

The cavalry of the New Army was delayed in this way, and when they arrived at the place, they were blocked by the powerful machine-gun fire of the soldiers of the 3rd Field Brigade. Machine guns, Type 56 submachine guns, and Type 17-Q submachine guns formed a three-echelon crossfire that these cavalry could not resist. If this is on a wide plain, the cavalry can take advantage of its high mobility to dodge a little. But now it's in town. Even if targeted demolitions were carried out, there would not be enough space for 2,400 cavalry to perform at will.

Forced to charge twice, three hundred men and horses were killed by tongues of fire, and the cavalry gave up. Outside the town, Adolf saw the soldiers of the company carrying light and heavy machine guns, holding long guns and short cannons, arranging defenses on the city walls, and even on the slightly higher roofs, some of Adolf's most hated snipers were lying on their stomachs. Every time I fight with the company, the casualties of officers are very large, and the biggest reason is because of the presence of these snipers.

Strictly speaking, except for the snipers in the Night Stalker Special Reconnaissance Battalion, which has not been expanded, among these field divisions, the fighters equipped with the Yanhuang Type 1-A precision modification can only be regarded as sharpshooters. They don't fully grasp what a sniper should master, only about 70% at most, but this knowledge can also support them to carry out accurate sniping within 500 meters. Every front-line commander who leads the attack, as long as he shows his head, will provoke their targeting.

Until now, they have to wear ordinary military uniforms without any decoration and without showing their honor. Even if this is improved, the result is that in the back, as long as someone dares to organize fighters when they are at a disadvantage, they will be found out the same, and then they will be sent to God with a bullet. But what to do, we can't let the commander not command the troops. Those soldiers, not many of them are literate, they can't even read books, how can they learn combat thinking.

So, in general, as soon as a large number of snipers enter the battlefield, Adolf will be ready to withdraw his troops. It's the same this time, Adolf doesn't plan to spend all of this elite power here. This time it failed, it's okay, the casualties of the new army are not too difficult to accept. The three towns, together with a total loss of just over 6,000, were all half-finished products selected from the militia and trained. Only the body and consciousness are slightly stronger, and the weapons are still backward.

Originally, there were more than 9,000 people in the three major towns, but because the rout was not very fast, nearly 3,000 people still managed to escape from the encirclement. At the same time, all the new weapons and equipment of the new army are in the hands of the 10,000 most elite new army in Adolf's hands. As long as these are all in place, then the combat effectiveness of the new army cannot be said to have lost anything, and according to the original equipment plan, a batch of new firearms will be brought during this period of time, and this 10,000 elite new army will be completely armed.

The company interrupted the equipment renewal process, but this batch of firearms will not disappear out of thin air. When this batch of weapons arrives, the combat effectiveness of the new army will not only not be reduced by the loss of more than 6,000 people, but will increase and surpass the previous ones. The company has officially declared war, and Adolf is confident that Charlie will not be idle. No matter how tense the situation in the colony is, he will send at least 15,000 mixed regular army and militia troops to support, and with the 10,000 elite new troops who are all equipped with new fire, this battle can still be fought.

Of course, while retreating, Adolf could not help but be surprised by the terrible speed of the company's development. It's only been more than a year, and he can't even imagine what has happened, leaving the company with a formidable army of at least twenty thousand. This was not counted by some spy spies, but Adolf calculated based on the firepower of the troops of the Three Roads Company. Because he did not know that the number of Type 5 or 6 submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles had increased, he also introduced an additional 3,000 numbers.

He felt that he could accept these, and the most unacceptable thing for him was that the Yanhuang Trading Company actually had a cavalry team. In the end, he counted the company's cavalry team that had been chased out, although it was not very accurate, but it was thousands anyway. Look at the equipment, but it is much better than the equipment of the cavalry of the new army. The cavalry of the new army only has a military uniform, and at most the heart of the body, there will be a breastplate protective part in the style of a heart shield.

The saber in his hand was not good, Adolf saw with his own eyes that a cavalryman of the New Army and a cavalry of the company were slashed against each other, and he, together with the saber in his hand, was chopped to death by the cavalry of the company. At a ratio of one to two, these cavalry are still so strong, which is not good news for the new army. Originally, the new army also thought of making good use of cavalry in order to bring back the disadvantages of its own equipment. If the cavalry loses this advantage, Adolf really doesn't know how to turn the tables around.

In the days that followed, Adolf gathered all his cavalry. He wouldn't send out the cavalry unless it was necessary to scout and patrol. Usually stay in the barracks, strengthen riding and bullet dodge training. He also used the means in his hands to extract a batch of defensive leather armor and residual cuirass from the rear colony. He believed that a shrewd person like Xiao Lin would not do useless work, these armors could not defend against fire, but the defense of melee sabers should still be effective.

Adolf needed time to complete the armament of the new army, and Sholin needed time to digest the three newly captured towns. Because of Charlie's policy of gathering for defense, there are at least more than 8,000 people in these three towns. Counted, three towns, exactly 30,000 people. Thirty thousand white people who have been harmed a lot, but they have long been looking forward to joining the company. There is no need to say anything in the hearts of the people, it is in materials. Charlie is a pretty bad guy.

He knew that with the policy of the Yanhuang Trading Company, as long as one place was occupied, there would be no place of instability. Rather than making these people a part of the company and strengthening the company's foundation, it is better to do your best to destroy them and make them a burden to the company. When the company's three-way army completed the occupation of the town, Xiao Lin realized how miserable these people were. Not to mention the yellow and thin skinny ones, there are also various diseases.

The British could not take these people away, but they could take all their possessions. All their belongings were confiscated by the British and plundered in the name of safekeeping. All their food was concentrated and distributed by the army every day, and the amount was really small, which could only ensure that they would not starve to death, and there was no meat at all. But there is no way, people have guns and cannons in their hands, and these civilians who only have a few kitchen knives at most, and don't even have a few hunting bows, how can they resist.

These people are still back to some proportions, at least they have not harmed the lives of civilians. There was no random hacking of civilians, and there was no insult to women. Therefore, the civilians are living so comfortably and temporarily. They all thought that when the company called and occupied this place, they would live a good life again. If the company comes late, I'm afraid these people will really starve for something. Everyone knows that if a person does not have enough to eat and no nutrition, the body's resistance will be greatly weakened, and even a small cold may develop to the point of being fatal.

Xiao Lin couldn't see it well, if he didn't step up, I was afraid that these people would die and be injured a lot in a short time. The company is now 100,000 people, and even the slightly more powerful principalities in history have more than such a few people, not to mention that Xiao Lin still wants to build a powerful empire. Therefore, he is not going to give up on anyone who has not yet reached the point where he can only give up. Xiao Lin temporarily cut off the army's logistical supplies, and made every effort to organize a transport team to transport food and medicine.

Because he was afraid that these hungry people would die of eating too much, Xiao Lin did not directly distribute these foods, but adopted the method of public canteens and meal tickets. These people do what they can under the company's arrangement every day, and then get three meal tickets. When it was time to eat, they took the meal ticket and went to the canteen opened by the company's military cooking class, and ate the three meals that the company's professionals shot for them.

Those who are sick and injured are treated in the company's temporary field hospital. There was a lot of money to be spent on it, and even the entire North American colonies were unwilling to bear it in this era. Yes, yes, it's unwilling, it's not that it can't, those nobles are all iron rooster attributes, and if they want to take money out of their hands, it's impossible, they would rather spend more on their own pleasures. None of this is anything to Shawlin, though.

The company is not a backward farming organization, but an organization that pursues high industrialization and high efficiency through and through. As long as these people recover physically, this consumption will be fully earned back in less than a year. Xiao Lin has been sitting on the plane to resell merchants, and the company specializes in literary and antique works in the era of mobile phones, and the auction is a lot of money in the 21st century. North America is indeed blessed, and the company has been engaged in gold mining and fur for several years, but it still hasn't been reduced.

The Zhao family and the Dai family also relied on Xiao Lin, a cheap source of raw materials, to make a fortune. Even, faintly, it can be said on it. The reason why these are banned above is also because there are too few of these things in China, and excessive mining will damage the environment, and the gains outweigh the losses, so they are banned. However, since they can't damage their own things, plus some connections, and the two companies propose to take out some investment every year to help the government do practical things, they will turn a blind eye.

The current transactions of the three parties are almost semi-public. Civilians don't know, but they have a bit of status in society, and what they do is about people in this area, and they still know. Many people looked for Xiao Lin and wanted to have something good, but they were stopped by the Zhao family. The two did not let Xiao Lin suffer, and the price kept rising, so the funds in Xiao Lin's hands were still abundant enough.
