The sun never sets in America

Chapter 32 Battle under the city

Boom...boom...

"Damn, these white devils, why are there so many artillery shells..." Lu Yusheng, a senior soldier hiding in the trench, listened to the constant sound of artillery and the dust and sand falling on his head, with a worried expression on his face. Cursing at the Mexican white artillery, "Erquan, do you think we can win this time?" The artillery fire coming from outside kept hitting Lu Yusheng's originally confident confidence, and even made him doubt their Liujiapu Whether it can win or not.

"Whatever, even if I die, I will have to replace him with a few white devils!" Cheng Erquan chewed the preserved fruit in his mouth and replied nonchalantly, "The requirement given to us from above is to hold the first position, white devils. The Japanese are coming, and we are the first to bear the brunt. Even if we lose, we probably won't be able to see them." Cheng Erquan said in the most normal tone, which silenced all the soldiers in the position.

beep beep...

"The enemy is coming, get ready..."

Just when everyone fell into silence, a rapid whistle suddenly sounded, making everyone react, followed closely by the infantry captain's shouts, whistles, and shouts, which meant that the enemy The army is not far away.

Everyone in the position hugged the muskets in their hands, half-crouched in the position, crowded with each other, shoulder to shoulder, with their fingers on the trigger, ready to stand up and launch an attack at any time...

tread... tread...

Listening to the constant footsteps outside, Lu Yusheng held the gun in his hand tightly, and even his breathing became a little cramped.

"Shoot..." Suddenly, the infantry captain's voice sounded.

swoosh...

bang... bang...

All the hundreds of soldiers in the trench stood up and without looking, they pulled the trigger directly towards the opposite side.

The Mexican militiamen who had just arrived on the opposite side and had not yet reacted fell in large pieces, but they quickly stabilized the battle line, and the second row of Mexican soldiers quickly filled the gap.

bang... bang...

The Mexican militia's counterattack came as promised and did not give Liujiabao soldiers on the opposite side any more opportunities to take advantage of.

For a time, the entire east and west sides of Los Angeles were filled with gunfire scenes, with people falling down and others rising up.

squeak……

Several artillery pieces that were much smaller than the nine-pounder cannons, twelve-pounder cannons, and even the largest 24-pounder cannon used by Liujiabao Artillery were pushed out from the holes in the trenches...With the joint cooperation of the artillery, He was pushed into a small open space deliberately left behind the trench.

"Hurry, load quickly." As several six-pound cannons were pushed out, the accompanying artillery captain also hurriedly urged the artillery soldiers to load faster.

"Fire..." As soon as the shells were transferred into the artillery, the artillery captain couldn't wait to give the order to fire.

Boom...boom...

Amidst the panic of the Mexican militiamen who were firing at Liujiabao soldiers on the opposite side, the leveled artillery fired directly at them.

"what……"

A soldier's waist was broken directly by a solid bullet fired at him. After the shell fell on the ground, the spherical shell still had a bloody intestine. When the surrounding soldiers saw it, everyone's faces changed. Everyone showed scared expressions, and even some timid people shouted out on the spot.

Boom...boom...

Another series of solid bullets were fired flatly into the platoon formation, like bowling balls. In an instant, a series of soldiers fell to the ground. Some had their legs broken, some were hit in the chest, and their heads were thought to be dead. The signs of death are different, but one thing is the same, that is cruelty...the signs of death are very cruel.

The broken limbs, even the smashed heads, the blood flowing out, and the smell in the air told everyone in the military formation all the time...how cruel this war was.

"Ah...I won't fight, I want to go home!"

Finally, as a Mexican militiaman lost his mind in the face of the powerful and bloody power of solid bullets, deserters soon appeared in both the fifth and sixth regiments...

No matter how much the officers at the rear shout threats, it will be of no avail. This is why solid bullets are used, because solid bullets can be used on the battlefield, especially in crowded battlefields such as queuing to be shot... their terrifying power can explode as quickly as possible. , and the most important thing is the impact of solid bullets on the morale of the enemy.

Sparkling ammunition is nothing more than killing people, and even more people die than solid ammunition, but one thing about solid ammunition, and the most important thing, is that blooming ammunition cannot compare, that is, the tragic situation after being hit... These are all for The biggest blow to a densely packed army is because panic can be contagious, not to mention the horror that is so close at hand! !

"Quick, hold on tight..." Captain Lyman lost control of his expression when he saw this situation, and shouted loudly, "Shoot, shoot those deserters immediately..." Seeing that the advice was ineffective, Captain Lyman The order to fire in the back was given directly.

bang... bang...

Commander Lyman's personal soldiers, the guards, turned their guns directly to the rear of the team, in the direction of the fleeing soldiers.

An escaping soldier was running backwards in a panic, but a gunshot and a heartbreaking pain came from behind, easily ending his young life.

Even before he died, his eyes were still looking behind him, at the place of life.

On the other side of the Sixth Regiment, Captain Sukovia also used the same method as Captain Lehmann, using the most cruel means to forcibly stabilize the shaky front.

Boom...boom...

The artillery fire from Liujiapu opposite was still hitting the Mexican militiamen like fists. Every moment, soldiers were killed by boulder-like solid bullets, and even several were killed at once...

Soon, as many Mexican militiamen were killed by solid rounds as by volley fire from the opposite side.

bang... bang...

The Liujiabao volley on the opposite side was still firing in an orderly manner. Although it was sometimes slowed down by the volley of guns on the opposite side, under the cover of the trenches and the cooperation of tactics... the casualties were not as heavy as those of the Mexicans on the opposite side. But many people still died.

This is mainly determined by the characteristics of the volleyball era. Even if the Liujiabao musketeers responded quickly, kept firing, crouched in the trenches to hide themselves, and reloaded ammunition, they were still crowded by the opposite side because they were too close. of bullets.

This has nothing to do with the bravery and prowess of soldiers in the medieval times. In the era of gun platoons, there were only two tasks: obeying orders and shooting.

It seems mechanical and boring, but actually more people died than in the cold weapon era.

bang... bang...

Boom...boom...the continuous sound of volleys of gunfire and the sound of cannons from time to time became the main theme of the battlefield outside Los Angeles.

Both sides, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, have no choice but to join this crazy war.

"what……"

Finally, with the addition of Liujiabao's artillery fire and the intimidation of solid bullets, the first to be unable to hold on was the fifth regiment who was the first to use ruthless suppression methods... With a cry of pain, the fifth regiment was All the soldiers who were still shooting were driven crazy.

In an instant, the formation was in chaos, and it was a big chaos.

The soldiers were running around like headless flies, no longer even paying attention to the rain of bullets coming from the opposite side.

"Hurry, quickly form the team..." Captain Lyman, who was hiding in the rear, saw that the situation was gradually getting out of control, and shouted hurriedly, "Shoot, shoot those who are taking the lead." Seeing that he could no longer control it, Raiman Captain Man actually used the same method as when he suppressed the deserters just now.

But Captain Lyman forgot that some soldiers just ran away, and that was because they were following their inner fears. The other soldiers followed the chaos because of fear, but the most basic reason was still there, and they could still recover after some brutal suppression. As it is... But now it's different. After a long period of high pressure, it has become so cruel that there is no end to the war. Everyone has completely lost their minds... You can imagine what a group of soldiers who have lost their minds can do. And know.

So when Captain Lyman's order was issued, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no one cared about it...On the contrary, there was a trend of getting more and more chaotic.

bang... bang...

On the opposite side, the Liujiabao Musketeers didn't care that there were so many. They were still mechanical and stiff, and even followed the order to fire with some gloating, until the captains of each infantry team shouted in unison:

"Fix the bayonet..."

Swish...swish...

In just a few seconds, hundreds of bayonets were inserted under the muzzle of the musket. Since the flintlock muskets of this period were very long, after adding bayonets, it easily became a nearly A small spear of two meters.

"kill……"

Following the order, hundreds of soldiers in the entire outer trenches mobilized, jumped out of the trenches, bayonets pointed, and killed the already chaotic Mexican militiamen on the opposite side...

"kill……"

"Kill the white devils..."

The Liujiabao soldiers shouted all kinds of crazy slogans, while holding bright bayonets, and killed the Mexican militiamen who had been making a mess in front of them, and they didn't even have time to escape when they saw them...

stab...

A panicked Mexican militiaman was stabbed to the core with a bayonet. When the bloody bayonet was pulled out from his chest, the Mexican militiaman still reacted and realized that the Mexican militiaman was looking down at his chest with a large amount of blood. , and the red-stained military uniform... With an expression of disbelief and panic, he collapsed to the ground and lost his young life.

On the battlefield, such things abound, and there was even a situation where a Liujiabao soldier chased four or five Mexican militiamen with a bayonet.

On the battlefield, fresh lives lose their breath every moment. At this moment, life seems to have become as small and humble as dust... No one cares about the value of the other person's life.

When the last bayonet was thrust into the chest of the last Mexican militiaman, what was pulled out was not only the blood of this soldier, but the blood of the entire 600 members of the Fifth Militia Regiment. Except for the one who saw that the situation was not good, he had already fled. Commander Lyman and some officers.

Everyone in the Sixth Regiment, or rather all the living forces, stayed in this hellish battlefield.

What are there on this battlefield? Corpses, broken limbs, various corpses with strange looks, and the blood that dyed the earth red. The blood of Mexican militiamen flowed from the wounds to the corners of their clothes, and then flowed into the corners of their clothes, changed by the artillery fire. The scorched earth... watered the unknown saplings under the surface.

Then after the war is over, this sapling, watered by a lot of blood, will break out of the ground in just one month, and grow into a towering tree in a few years... And this big tree is raised by blood. of.

"Quick, get back quickly..." Li Zhaowu in the rear didn't care about the soldiers collecting the loot on the ground, and even urged the soldiers who had just won a victory back to the trenches.

At first, the soldiers were a little dissatisfied, because according to Liujiabao's battlefield regulations, after winning the battle, they had the right to collect the trophies from the dead enemy soldiers. They didn't even take the trophies, so they felt a little uncomfortable when they were driven back like this. And unwilling.

But soon, they will be thankful for Li Zhaowu's decision just now.

Boom...boom...

Just after the Liujiapu soldiers left, intensive artillery fire instantly covered the entire battlefield. The dead Mexican militiamen instantly turned into coke or even dust.

At this time, all the soldiers in the trench realized Li Zhaowu's intention.

"Damn, this Roman is really a lunatic. If there were still alive Mexican soldiers on the battlefield, wouldn't he have been killed as well..." Li Zhaowu looked at the area outside the trench that had experienced shelling. On the battlefield, he scolded Baron Roman with an ugly expression. In his opinion, Baron Roman's style of play was simply to exchange lives for lives. If it weren't for his quick reaction, hundreds of people in the Iron Guard camp would soon be dead. The explanation is outside.

"This Baron Roman is indeed powerful and cruel. It's a pity that such a person is our enemy." Liu Peng looked at the battlefield that had been bombed into charcoal with a telescope from behind. He didn't have the slightest trace of Baron Roman's actions just now. It's strange, but he agrees with it, because if he were in such a situation, he would also choose to die together. After all, one of his regiments has disappeared. It is better to fail and let the other party not get the fruits of victory. .

"This Baron Roman is indeed a strong general..." Zhao Wei was shocked and admired what Baron Roman had just done. He asked himself, he was not so cruel and rogue, "It's a pity that the sixth regiment was not left behind just now. Let them run away." Zhao Wei mentioned the Sixth Regiment of the Mexican Militia and said to Liu Peng with some regret.

Just now, according to the plan, two Mexican militia groups were supposed to be killed at the same time. In the end, only the fifth group was killed, and more than half of the sixth group escaped, making this originally perfect victory less perfect. .

"That's enough. After all, we have killed one and a half regiments!" Liu Peng had no regrets about the escape of the sixth regiment.

"Let the Wuwei battalion and the Iron Guard battalion change defenses, and the Yingyang battalion is dispersed and moved to the second line of defense." Liu Peng gave Zhao Wei the order to change defenses. "Let the Iron Guard battalion go to the rear to have a good rest. Don't treat the food badly... ..." Liu Peng then reminded Zhao Wei that after all, they were all meritorious soldiers who had just fought a difficult war, how could they be treated harshly.

"Yes, young master!!" Zhao Wei clasped his fists and agreed to Liu Peng.

"By the way, how are the several mighty camps undergoing training in the city?" Liu Peng asked Zhao Wei about the situation of the Indian camps in the city.

"The training has basically been completed. This is their first time on the battlefield. Am I afraid?" Zhao Wei mentioned the army composed of Indians and replied to Liu Peng with some worry. After all, although these Indians were first formed in Liujiapu , which also included veterans who had served as soldiers in Liujiabao, but after all, most of them were new soldiers, and most of them were recruited from nearby tribes. They originally used cold weapons, and many of them had just learned how to shoot. Zhao Wei was really not sure how to stand in line with such an army, so he let them go head-to-head with the Mexicans.

"There are no immortals in war. As you fight, you will become elite soldiers." Liu Peng's face showed a trace of cruelty and cruelty. "Now put them in the front. I want to see the quality of this army." ." Liu Peng turned his head and gave Zhao Wei another order.

"Yes, I understand!" Zhao Wei clasped his fists and said yes. He understood what Liu Peng meant, which was to use the flames of war to temper this army of Indians, and by the way, he also blocked bullets for Liu Jiabao's main camp. Saved the lives of those Chinese soldiers.

It sounds very cruel and dark, but the reality is that when the Chinese population is not enough, using Indians is the best choice.

After all, they Chinese are also fighting for the future of the Indians and the entire America! !
