Chapter 48 The first strike is the strongest
In the town of Xiaolin at night, ordinary civilians have already fallen asleep. A day's work makes everyone very tired, although there is a lot of salary, but they have no extra energy to spend. However, in today's town, there is still a room with the lights on all the time. As a town office used to deal with official business, it is usually quiet here with Xiao Lin's rest, and the reason why people are still shaking now is because Xiao Lin is not resting.
James received the news and asked him to rush to the town hall for a meeting immediately, there was an emergency. He did not dare to slack off, and rode the horses equipped for the company commander, and rushed from the barracks to the town office overnight. When he arrived, he found that everyone had arrived, and he was the only one missing.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry. ”
"Alright, James, sit down right now. Let's get started. ”
Xiao Lin stood up to stop James's politeness, because there are still many Eagle Tribe warriors who are not familiar with English, and Chinese is only known by both sides of less than a hundred words, so the situation can only be explained by Xiao Lin. It all started three days ago, when Quill heard that the four tribes were going to join forces with the Addams family to attack Shorin's forces. He had already been in contact with Apache before, and knew that the entire Eagle Tribe had plans to join the Sholin forces, and this matter was already related to the survival of their tribe.
In a hurry, Quill revealed his whereabouts and was hunted down by the strongest warriors sent by the four major tribes. Speaking of which, if it were to blame Shawlin, if he hadn't sold these tribes compound bows with a range of one hundred and twenty paces, Quill wouldn't have been so embarrassed. When he was spotted by the patrolling Shawlin's soldiers, he had an arrow stuck in his shoulder and stab wounds on his body. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Lin had been stocking up on his injuries, Quill might not have been able to save him.
He was also a strong man, and while he was treating, he told the news he had heard in detail. Xiao Lin didn't dare to slack off, if you add the number of warriors of these four tribes, the number of enemies who came this time could reach three thousand. And his men only numbered four hundred, and the ratio was almost ten to one. The people of the Eagle Tribe have not completely given up the bow and arrow yet, and half of their usual energy is spent on the bow and arrow, even if they have a formal rifle, the power that can be exerted is not strong.
Moreover, this time the Addams family is coming, and it will definitely bring cannons. Even if it is a front-loading artillery, the power is not something that Xiao Lin can ignore now. Although with those five hundred submachine guns and ten boxes of wooden-handled grenades, Xiao Lin and the others would definitely be able to win, but if they lost too many manpower, the damage to the development of the force would be too great.
Of the four Indian tribes, Sholin was not afraid of their bows and arrows, but he was worried about their melee abilities. With four companies under Sholin, who had learned the art of modern army fighting, it can be said that hand-to-hand combat was not at all afraid of the British army of this period. However, these Indians, tempered under the claws of wild beasts, may not be able to say. This kind of fighting skill, honed on the edge of life and death, can always burst out with amazing power. If they can't get close enough to defeat them, casualties will follow.
Therefore, Xiao Lin made a decision, the first strike is stronger. The people of the Addams family, they can't fight for the time being, and the Indians of these four tribes, since they dare to blow up the thorns, then kill them first. Moreover, the four tribes, at least able to harvest more than fifteen hundred laborers, whether as slaves or as a new population, are a great supplement to them. The purpose of this gathering of the four company commanders, and Issa, the civilian managers, was to formulate a sound plan of action.
Together, with the efforts of Sholin, they can turn their fighting thinking to the level of the 20th century, and these people can also help come up with ideas. The lights in the town hall were not extinguished until the day was about to dawn. Xiao Lin and the four company commanders did not rest, and immediately returned to the barracks, took the four companies, and left the town. The remaining men in the town, between the ages of fourteen and fifty, took up the smoothbore rifles that had been seized from Babu's hands and temporarily assumed the duty of defense.
Warriors on bicycles move at speeds that Indian tribes without even a few horses can imagine. In one day, they had already arrived close to the four tribes. Four companies, operating separately, each company was responsible for attacking an Indian tribe. Of the four tribes, the largest number of warriors was only two hundred, and Xiao Lin believed that with the superiority of weapons and training, a hundred warriors in a company would be enough to defeat one tribe. Just in case, each company commander carried a Type 5 or 6 submachine gun, a magazine, a total of three white bullets, and ten wooden-handled grenades.
The previous five box guns were handed over to the five most loyal platoon commanders. After a three-hour break, the battle officially began. The four Indian tribes, although they already knew that the plot was exposed, they thought that the combined strength of the four parties was enough to make Xiao Lin jealous, and instead of attacking them, bribery was the best means. So, they didn't have much defense.
Under the precise attack of the medium rifle, all the soldiers who were exposed were killed. Of each tribe, only about two dozen warriors lost their combat effectiveness, and the most, the tribe that was attacked by Xiao Lin, lost more than fifty people. One battalion commander, three company commanders, armed with submachine guns, fired specifically at the enemy who wanted to gather. The four tribes were taken by surprise, and the warriors began to step forward, shouting in Indian to remind those who surrendered not to be killed.
Naturally, the people of the four tribes still resisted, and the whites kept shooting, killing the opponents who rushed up. The people of the Eagle tribe took rifles with bayonets and used them as spears to fight the enemy in close combat. Xiao Lin was speechless, but he could only let them choose the way to fight. Now you can also end it with melee combat, there is an efficient and sufficient food supply, and the puppets of the Eagle Tribe are much stronger, and melee combat is not something these people can win.
No matter how stubbornly these Indians resisted, in the end, they could not avoid the fate of defeat. The soldiers of the company had already controlled the situation, and they kept shouting, and the others also knew that only by surrendering could they survive. Although this is not in line with their combat philosophy all along, no one wants to die like this, at least, they have to try, maybe there is still a chance of survival. Four Indian tribes, who paid the price for their greed.
They provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, so they couldn't blame Xiao Lin for stepping on them to get on the throne. The battle ended at dawn the next day, and each company returned to the town with at least 400 prisoners. The fear of muskets did not keep these people resisting for long, and there were not many knights who resisted and were killed by the warriors. The four tribes together numbered two thousand two hundred and seventy-one. For the time being, Xiao Lin could only imprison these people in the barracks, and only give them some food every day that would not starve them to death, so as to prevent them from making trouble.
The town has completely stopped the construction of people's livelihood, and everyone's energy is spent on preparing for war. Xiao Lin took the four leaders who were still alive and brought them to the interrogation room for interrogation. They still wanted to resist, but Xiao Lin was a person who was tortured until the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was useless, so he scared them, and everything was recruited. The people of the Addams family are still mobilizing their troops, and they will not be able to reach here until ten days later.
At this time, Xiao Lin can already take a small truck and travel back and forth. Sholin immediately took action, leaving the large truck he had brought with him here, and quietly returned to the 21st century. Here, just one night, it was half past six the next morning. At this time, Sorento had not yet woken up. Xiao Lin took a desperate step and quietly hid ten sets of 120mm mortars. Mortars made in these countries in the 60s are still very well maintained, and one gun is equipped with these thirty shells.
These mortars, with a range of 1,700 meters, completely crushed the copper artillery guns that were installed in front. With this batch of mortars, he was able to ignore the artillery of the Addams family. This ambush was useless, he couldn't gamble that the enemy would be stupid enough to fall into their ambush again. And the current fortifications of the town are low-grade and cannot withstand the fire of artillery. However, how to secretly transport this batch of artillery out, then it is necessary to plan carefully.
This warehouse, Sorento, was handed over to Sholin to find. The reason why Xiao Lin is looking for this warehouse is because there is a passage that leads to the depths of an air-raid shelter dug during the Anti-Japanese War. This passage was dug by Uncle Qu and his father. Back then, Xiao Lin's father, who was also unwilling to be lonely, came out to start his own business with Uncle Qu, and they started by opening a hot pot restaurant.
The two of them have succeeded, at least they can make money. When Xiao Lin's father wanted to expand, he ran into problems. Inside the cave, the air is too poor, and the line is aging and cannot be used. And although both sides can get through, they don't have so much money for the time being. Xiao Lin's grandfather didn't give money, and Xiao Lin's father was also unwilling at the beginning, and he secretly wanted to dig up the space. Unexpectedly, digging and digging into someone's warehouse.
In order to prevent being discovered, the police called the police and arrested them. The two hurriedly gambled on the entrance of the cave, and then honestly never dared to fight their own idea of expanding the scale. Later, because of various things, both of them gave up the hot pot restaurant and returned to work in the factory. Not long ago, because the business of the factory was good, Xiao Lin and his Uncle Qu drank together to celebrate, Uncle Qu was drunk and told Xiao Lin about this incident as a joke.
Xiao Lin hadn't paid attention to Sorento's affairs, and he finally thought of this. He secretly made a move, the Huaguo Equipment Department, and the list of arms in Sorento's hand are not the same, just to see if he can hide a batch of arms in the air-raid shelter that has been sealed, and then transport it to another plane for his own use.
