Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1000

[Chapter 993 Machine Gun Company]

“The Chongqing Kingdom seems to have different artillery.”

Through the telescope, Pang Duo saw artillery that was different from that of the Jinzhou period. He still remembers the Chongqing artillery in that battle.

After hearing this, Bach and Wotai both looked in the direction Pang Duo was pointing, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.

But now, no matter what kind of weapons Dayu puts out, they can no longer retreat, because behind them is the pasture of their own tribe.

“Heaven will bless us.” Bach patted Pondo on the shoulder.

Pang Duo nodded, his eyes becoming more determined, as long as he lived he would never allow Dayu to cross their pasture again.

While Pang Duo and the others were observing, Niu Ben and Luo Quan also figured out the current situation on the battlefield.

Looking at the trenches surrounding the barbarian camp, Niu Ben and Luo Quan frowned slightly.

“The barbarians are really smart now, and the trench digging is becoming more and more standard.”

Niu Ben stroked his beard gently. After the Battle of Guandong, trench tactics seemed to have wings overnight. Now almost every force has Know how to use trenches to offset their weapons advantage.

“So what? It’s just delaying their death process. Death sooner or later will mean death.” Luo Quan didn’t care. The grenades were enough to give them an advantage in trench warfare.

Niu Ben nodded. To him, the huge camp in front of him was not a solid fortress, but a meat grinding ground made of flesh and blood. Perhaps the barbarians were confident that such a camp could block the army of Dayu.

But he knew very well that the gap between the two armies was now irreparable.

While the two were talking, a chasseur suddenly hurried in front of them. He dismounted and said hurriedly: “Two generals, the emperor has ordered that defense be the main focus for the time being, and we will wait for the arrival of the Changping Machine Gun Team before the decisive battle!”

” Changping Machine Gun Team! This guy Song Changping freed up the machine gun?” Luo Quan was overjoyed.

“Great, according to the emperor, this machine gun is a powerful weapon against intensive charges, and it is very suitable for dealing with barbarians.” Niu Ben’s eyes were full of excitement.

The Chasseur continued: “The Emperor also said that machine guns are currently being produced, and the first batch of machine guns will arrive at the end of the month. Let the two generals wait patiently.”

“Okay, you go back and tell the Emperor that we will wait for the arrival of the machine gun team.” Niu Ben said loudly.

In response, the Chasseur rode away. When he returned to Raozhou, he would return to Qingzhou via steam locomotive.

After the hunting cavalry disappeared, Luo Quan said: “I hope this machine gun team can save us from losing a few soldiers. This time the barbarians have set up such a formation. This is to make it clear that they will fight us here. The winner or loser will be the fate of the country.” “

Niu Ben sneered, “Dolgo is smart, he is seeking his own death. “

After that, he and Luo Quan turned back to the army and ordered the soldiers to immediately dig trenches to confront the barbarians, since the barbarians were waiting for the rest. Cavalry, then give them time.

The next day, Pang Duo, Bach and other barbarian generals woke up early to prepare for war. As usual, the Chongqing army usually chose to rest for the night and launch an attack the next day.

But what surprised them was that what they saw was only the soldiers of Dayu who were digging trenches. The army of Dayu was very leisurely in the circle surrounded by the trenches, and had no intention of fighting at all.

“What the hell is going on in Great Chongqing?” Wotai said strangely.

Bach shook his head, “It’s so abnormal. What are they waiting for?”

Pang Duo frowned and thought deeply, but he couldn’t think of a clue. He hesitated and said, “Just in time, the Golden Tent supports us. The cavalry has not arrived yet, we need time to wait for them to come over. “

Zak and Tam have arrived at the camp. Seeing this, Zak said: “They may be waiting for the cavalry led by Qi Guangyi to disturb the rear. Now I am worried that they will continue to go deep into the grassland. “

When Zac arrived with the remaining 5,000 troops, he was a little unhappy, because in his opinion it was wise to try to avoid fighting with the Chongqing Kingdom before the decisive battle.

But Zach obviously didn’t follow his ideas.

“We can’t control so much now. If we fail here, we will be defeated thousands of miles away. No tribe will be able to resist Dayu’s occupation of the grassland. Do you understand?” Pang Duo said angrily.

Zach was a little angry, but Pangdo, the leader of the tribe, reprimanded him for being shameless, but Dolgo’s order was to let them obey Pangdo’s orders.

With livid faces, Zach and Tam walked towards the camp. As they walked, Zach said: “None of them have seen the power of Qi Guangyi’s cavalry. They will regret it.” He

glanced at Zach who was still complaining. , Pondo no longer paid attention to him, because in his opinion, the greatest danger was right in front of him.

In this mutual confrontation, time passed day by day, and more than twenty days passed by in a blink of an eye. At the end of the month, the first batch of machine gun teams arrived at the camp of the Chongqing army.

“General, all thirty machine guns are in place.”

On the school field in the middle of the camp, Sun Changce, commander of the machine gun company, reported to Niu Ben and Luo Quan. They were both from the Forbidden Army guarding Qingzhou and arrived at the battlefield with machine guns after completing training at the military factory.

Niu Ben and Luo Quan were already grinning from ear to ear. At this time, thirty long flat machine guns in front of them were sitting quietly on the solid land.

Each machine gun is located on a wheeled base. This design is very suitable for fighting on the grassland, because soldiers can push the machine gun like a towed artillery to build a machine gun position on the flat grassland at any time.

“Quick, let’s see the power of this machine gun.” Niu Ben and Luo Quan couldn’t wait to see what they heard.

Sun Changce made a military salute, said yes, and immediately asked the machine gunner to push a machine gun and shoot at the open area east of the camp.

After finding a suitable position, the deputy shooter immediately stuffed the ammunition belt into the machine gun. The shooter pressed the button, and a continuous “click-click” sound was heard. The continuous firepower stunned the generals.

“Hahaha…” Niu Ben laughed, “With such a sharp weapon, why worry about not winning this decisive battle? This time we will let the barbarians eat enough of our bullets.”

Luo Quan said with a smile: “Exactly, what I have been waiting for this month It’s worth it. The cavalry supporting the barbarians have all arrived at the barbarian camp. It is estimated that the battle will be inevitable in the past two days. Let us fight happily this time.”

Witnessing the power of the machine gun, the two went to the camp with Sun Changce to arrange. Checked the position of the machine gun.

Now the 160,000 barbarian cavalry are gathered together. According to the habits of the barbarians, slave soldiers will inevitably be used to charge into the battle at the beginning of the war.

According to their observations in the past two days, there are not many descendants of the Great Yu Kingdom among these slave soldiers, but more of them are slaves robbed by barbarians from the Western Regions, because the slaves of the Great Yu Kingdom are mainly concentrated in Guandong, and most of them were rescued by them.

They don’t need to be merciful when dealing with such slave soldiers.
