The sun never sets in America

Chapter 170 Don’t seal the sword for three days
Tulsa…

A city in northeastern Oklahoma near the banks of the Arkansas River.

Because of the abundant local water resources, Tulsa's ecology is relatively good. After the Americans acquired this area from the French, it became the second largest city after the capital Oklahoma City.

Due to the sudden outbreak of the U.S.-Mexican War, a large number of American militiamen were stationed in the city some time ago. Those arrogant and domineering American militiamen who came to this small town from other states ran rampant in the local area and hooked up with local women everywhere, which made many Tulsa people, not happy.

But soon, those American militiamen who were acting recklessly and full of hormones were transferred away because of the increasingly tense war ahead. There were only less than a thousand American militiamen left to guard the area, and most of them were locals. (This is also strongly requested by the residents of Tulsa, because the quality of the American troops from other places is so low that molesting women is considered a trivial matter, and several more serious cases have occurred)
Since those annoying American militiamen left, the people of Tulsa have lived a happy life of eating steaks, singing songs, and laughing...

Then, the Han people came! !

boom……

When dozens of Storm artillery pieces of different calibers shelled the stone walls outside Tulsa, all Tulsa residents trembled and hid in their homes, not daring to breathe. (The stone wall was built after the American militia came last time to ensure that it would not be attacked by the Han people)

Boom...boom...

One shell after another exploded on the stone wall, setting off a burst of stone fragments, and behind the stone wall were the trembling local defenders of Tulsa holding muskets.

"Reinforcements, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet..."

"Yes, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?!"

"I don't want to die yet!!"

Behind the stone wall are the defenders, most of whom are young men of seventeen or eighteen years old. Tulsa mainly relies on river trade near the Arkansas River, as well as fisheries and planting industries for a living. Compared with those in the Midwest and rough mining in the United States, Cowboys, on the other hand, are not used to war. For most people in Tulsa, they have never seen even a few Indians, let alone the legendary brutal and bloodthirsty Han Chinese.

While the Tulsa defenders were waiting for reinforcements, the Han rangers around Tulsa had already killed the fifth messenger.

And when the sixth messenger was beheaded by a cavalry sword, it meant that the last hope of the people of Tulsa was shattered.

Destruction also begins! !

…………

"Use smoke bombs..." Zhao Lingfeng was on a high ground opposite, looking into the telescope and the city of Tulsa, which had tried several times but still had no response. Either the people of Tulsa were extremely patient and let them go. Go ahead and fight, or they are scared out of their wits. Either way, it means that he must conduct a test. This is the instinct of an army commander...

"Eight-shot reload..."

"emission……"

Two artillery captains commanded their eight artillery pieces to fire eight [-]-pound smoke grenades developed by the Xijing Arsenal.

Boom...boom...

As eight smoke grenades were fired on the front of the stone wall, a burst of white smoke spread out, even mixed with gray. This was because lime powder was added to it, which would reduce the visibility again. It was the Han military industry The offensive weapons specially prepared by the company for street fighting and bunker warfare are now used on Americans.

"Cough cough..."

"What did the Han people launch? Why is there gray mist everywhere in front?"

"Cough cough..."

The Tulsa garrison behind the stone wall was just as confused as when they first entered the battlefield, and they were not very clear about what they were seeing.

"No, raise your gun quickly!!"

Someone finally realized the seriousness of the matter, but before they could react, they heard a few loud booms and the stone wall collapsed and was blown up by the demolition team affiliated with the Han army.

(Generally, when conducting critical battles, most of the Han army must be equipped with a 50-person demolition team, divided into demolitioners, coverers, and even ammunition soldiers to transport ammunition. It can be said that the cooperation is quite complete, and it is also developed with the Han country. The smoke bombs complement each other.)
"Attack..." Zhao Lingfeng saw through the telescope the collapsed stone wall on the opposite side and the panicked Tulsa defenders. He suddenly realized that he was overestimating the opponent, so he issued the general attack order without hesitation. .

"kill……"

"Kill the beautiful dog..."

"Kill these beasts!!"

The Han soldiers who rushed into the stone wall first formed several larger phalanxes with rifles, and then charged directly with bayonets.

"Don't kill me, I still have a child, my son is only five years old!!"

boom……

"Dear me, what kind of bird language are you talking about on horseback? I can't understand it!!" The Han soldier with a strong Bashu accent looked at the American soldier in front of him who kept praying to him. He just shot him. Blow his head off.

"Push the cannon forward..."

boom……

After entering the city and encountering the first line of defense, the infantry captain directly called several nine-pound Storm artillery pieces from the rear. He leveled the cannons without adjusting any angle, and fired one shot at the bunker in front.

After one shot was fired, nothing happened to the bunker. The Tulsa defenders behind the bunker were frightened and fled in all directions, without any courage to continue fighting.

"It's useless to ride on a horse!!" The infantry captain looked at the Tulsa defenders who were fleeing in all directions, with a sarcastic look on their faces and a tone full of sarcasm.

"Report, the brigade commander has an order, ordering us to capture the government building in Tulsa immediately!!"

Just when the infantry captain took out a cigarette and was about to take a rest, there was a sound behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was the messenger sent by the brigade headquarters.

"Go back and tell the brigade commander that our unit will definitely complete the mission!!" the infantry captain put the cigarette he just took out to his ear and replied to the orderer.

"Brothers, attack and beat him until he is dead and knows how painful it is!!" The infantry captain with a Huguang accent looked at the still breathing soldiers with a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but in the end he was still willing to carry out the order.

"Yes!!"

"Kill the beautiful dog!!"

"kill……"

Even though their bodies were a little tired, these soldiers with different accents were still willing to take their guns, form a military formation, and kill towards the Tulsa City Hall building! ! (Because of their hometown, the first-generation immigrants have a certain accent when they speak Mandarin, which is difficult to change.)
The Tulsa City Hall is a three-story British-style building with Roman columns. On the top of the building hangs the American Stars and Stripes. On weekdays, this is a symbol of American control of the Tulsa area, but at this moment , also under the gaze of this Star-Spangled Banner, the Han Dynasty used bayonets and dense rain of bullets to cover this building with a long history in the United States. Although it is only a few decades old, it is considered a cultural relic for the United States.

bang... bang...

Dense and terrifying volleys of guns were fired from the muzzles of lightning rifles, hitting the Tulsa defenders who were still holding old-fashioned flintlock rifles. They didn't even have the ability to fight back, and were excluded from the range. , just a fast reloading speed is enough to fire at least twice the firepower when the opponent is reloading...

And double the firepower, especially in such a life-and-death, head-on confrontation, what it means is understood by anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs and has military common sense.

The people of Tulsa are screwed, completely screwed.

"Quick, put the flag up!!" A squad leader led a few soldiers to the top of the building first, and in the hand of one of the soldiers was a black and red national flag of Han, which was also a mixture of One of only three sides in the Brigade Headquarters.

"Stars and flags, I think you are only qualified to be a wiper..." When he came to the place where the American stars and stripes were planted, the soldier directly pulled out the stars and stripes, and then threw them on the ground.

Then he placed the dragon-raising flag of the Han Dynasty on it. A breeze blew by, and the flag swayed gently, and the black dragon on it seemed to come alive.

On the ground, there is the dusty Stars and Stripes. This American Stars and Stripes has been hung for more than ten years and has been carefully maintained by the people of Tulsa. It is the spiritual symbol of the people of Tulsa. It fell from the altar and was used as the dragon flag of the Han Dynasty. When it flies above the Tulsa City Hall building, it also means that the mixed brigade has completed its conquest of Tulsa, the second largest city in Oklahoma! !

I don’t know if America fell, but Tulsa certainly fell.

But when the Han national flag was raised and the American flag fell, the morale of the Tulsa garrison who was still resisting in the city completely collapsed, and the mixed brigade soldiers took over the rest of the city without a single blow.

When Zhao Lingfeng rode into the city with cannon and cavalry, most of the people in Tulsa had already surrendered their weapons, and only a few people were still arguing with the Han army over their right to hold guns. , in the end the kind-hearted Han soldiers could only send him to see God, and let him discuss with God what it means to hold a gun and what rights it is! !

As for the Han people, the only thing they had to do was to give him a ride...

.............................................

Mixed brigade garrison headquarters...

"What's going on in the city?" Zhao Lingfeng asked Yang Fan, the commander of the [-]st Cavalry Regiment.

"Report to the brigade commander, the city has basically stabilized, and all the rioters have been wiped out..." Yang Fan replied to Zhao Lingfeng without thinking.

"Have all the weapons of the Americans in the city been collected??" Zhao Lingfeng then continued to ask Yang Fan, his tone a little urgent, as if he was very concerned about this issue.

"It has been basically collected. Even if someone hides weapons secretly, it will no longer pose a big threat to our army." Although Yang Fan didn't understand why Zhao Lingfeng was so interested in this question, he still answered Zhao Lingfeng's question truthfully. question.

"Okay... great!!" After hearing this, Zhao Lingfeng's face suddenly lit up and he became excited.

"Yang Fan!!" Zhao Lingfeng suddenly shouted to Yang Fan seriously.

"Yes, Brigadier!!" Yang Fan immediately responded to Zhao Lingfeng.

"Pass my order, don't seal the sword for three days!!" Zhao Lingfeng said something with burning eyes that shocked Yang Fan.

"Brigadier, this!!" Yang Fan's eyes almost popped out when he heard Zhao Lingfeng's words.

He never thought that Zhao Lingfeng would issue such a military order. You must know that the Han army is very strict. Things like massacres and insults to women are strictly prohibited. It's not that the Han people are so noble, they just want to To maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, after all, an army that relies on killing and plundering and releasing humanity to increase its combat effectiveness will have what will happen if it encounters difficulties. It is inevitable that they will not point the butcher knife at their own people.

"Brigade Commander, our army strictly prohibits this kind of thing. If it is done, I'm afraid..." Yang Fan persuaded Zhao Lingfeng with some anxiety. There was another sentence he didn't say, that is, once such a thing is done, he will be held accountable later. Get up, I'm afraid that Zhao Lingfeng's future is not guaranteed.

"Captain Yang, I don't know what you are saying, but I have to do it at this time. I am a lone brigade. If we still guard the memorial of mercy, I am afraid that once we are surrounded and suppressed by the Americans in the future, it will be more difficult to solve it! !" Zhao Lingfeng explained to Yang Fan with an ugly expression.

"We are a lone army, a group of lone wolves. Since we are wolves, we must do what wolves should do!!" Zhao Ling said to Yang Fan crazily, "The so-called generals are outside and military orders are not obeyed. I am a wolf." The brigade is an isolated force, and we have two questions about whether we will survive or not. If we want to do this when the Americans gather their troops to encircle and suppress us, we may not have a chance!!" Zhao Lingfeng continued to explain to Yang Fan the fundamental reason for what he did...

"brigadier……"

"Yang Fan, let me tell you, I am the brigade commander, you are just the regiment commander, execute the order immediately!!"

Yang Fan wanted to say something else, but Zhao Lingfeng interrupted him forcefully, cutting off Yang Fan's last hope.

"Send the order, don't seal the sword for three days, let the brothers be happy for once!!"

As Zhao Lingfeng's order was issued, the entire mixed brigade was in a stir, but soon fell into silence. After all, they had never done this before. In the face of the high-pressure Han military discipline, the Han army in this period really It can be regarded as a civilized army.

But the more this happens, the instinct of human nature becomes treacherous, and the bloody and brutal battlefield becomes more intense. Once it breaks out, it will be very terrifying.

With the appearance of the first soldier to perform surgery, there were more than 5000 people in the entire mixed brigade. Except for those officers with noble backgrounds, they disdained to do this. They were even ashamed of it. Some even planned to sue after the war. He filed a complaint against Zhao Lingfeng, accusing him of indulging in military discipline and bringing darkness to the Han Army, an army full of glorious history...

The fundamental reason is that these aristocratic officers are too happy. They have beautiful wives and concubines at home, rich clothes and fine food, and the horses they ride are all British thoroughbred horses prepared by themselves. If you let these people and the lower-level soldiers think together, it will be better than It’s hard to reach the sky.

…………

bump……

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do?!" A middle-aged white man looked at the Han soldiers who broke in and shouted in fright, trying to stop them.

But soon, all he was left with was heart-rending crying! !
"Don't touch my daughter..."

"No, you Han bastards!!"

"I fight with you!!"

boom……

The answer to him was just a gray bullet, and no one even picked up his body.

Then the room was filled with women's cries and men's shouts again.

thorn...

A bloody bayonet was pulled out from the chest of an American man. This guy had just tried to sneak attack the glorious Han army, and was stabbed to death by a mixed brigade soldier.

Yes, that's right, that's what it says in the mixed brigade's military records.

Even the records after entering the city are ambiguous. It is often said that there were probably thousands of Tulsa people blocking our army, and then the same Spring and Autumn writing style was used to replace the Han army with thugs. An extremely rare scene in history.

There is no doubt what kind of reaction those civil servants will have when the truth of this matter is spread back to Xijing and to the cabinet.

I'm afraid that military officers are dictatorial, military officers are arrogant, and military officers are arrogant. These words that civilian officials have always hated military attachés will hit the army's head. (Why not the Navy? Because the Navy actually wears the same pants as the civilian officials. In recent years, the Army’s military expenditure has decreased while the Navy’s military expenditure has increased. This is the result of the civilian group joining forces with the Navy to backstab the Army.)

At this moment, this incident caused endless debates among civil and military officials. Even every time the Army asked for military expenditures, the civilian officials would make excuses about the city of Tulsa. Even the civilian officials would just say:

"The Army wants so much military expenditure, so it doesn't want to kill us all, right??"

In a word, what Zhao Lingfeng did in Tulsa was heinous in the eyes of the civil servants. If you dare to bite others like this today, you might turn around and bite your own people one day. This is the true thinking of the civil servants.

They don't care whether the Huncheng Brigade has done such a thing, what is unscrupulous and inhumane, the civil servants don't care, because they themselves are such people, but they are better at pretending, after all, the pen is the one who really kills people without blood, killing people All it takes is an edict...

The reason why they are afraid is that they are afraid of what happened in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in history, where warriors prevailed over civilized people. That would be worse than death for civilized officials! !
So after the incident was reported back to Xijing two weeks later, even Yan Jun, who had always maintained a balance between the parties, had to follow the requirements of the civilian group to limit and expand the size of the army after the war. The navy and army are stationed in coastal cities.

The civil servants were afraid. This time, the civil servants were really frightened by Zhao Lingfeng's crazy three days of not sealing the sword. After all, when the army's military discipline was strict, even if the army and the civilian officials couldn't get along, the civil servants didn't worry about anything. But now they There is no guarantee that the Army, having tasted the benefits of indulgence, will remain as obedient as before.

These are all things for later, but in the city of Tulsa, this three-day indulgence resulted in the death of 3 people in the city of Tulsa. The remaining thousands of people were all young women and belonged to the mixed race. The spoils of the brigade.

At the end of three days, the entire 5000 people in the mixed brigade had a faint murderous aura and the smell of blood. Most of them looked wrong, like butchers who had just come out of the slaughterhouse. This feeling was that of the Han Army. It has never existed before. It will only exist for a short time after every battle, but it is not like the murderous aura that can be felt for a long time like now! ! !
When the fall of Tulsa was known to the Americans, it was already the afternoon of the third day, but in Mexico, the largest battle in the history of the Americas was about to begin! !
