The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 385 Firepower Crushing
Early in the morning, soldiers from three companies of the 16th Infantry Regiment set out without even taking lunch, carrying Springfield M1873 rifles, bayonets, and 50 rounds of ammunition.

There were also several horses accompanying them, carrying five three-pound cannons.

This small artillery, which is gradually being marginalized, is not very powerful, but has high accuracy in medium and short ranges, and can fire live ammunition and explosive bombs, which can play a big role in attacking tough targets.

And it is not very powerful, which makes it more suitable for a bustling city like Chicago. This time, I brought more than twenty guns.

They thought they would encounter fierce resistance from the other side at the train station.

However, the group carefully crossed the city edge of Chicago and rushed to the train station in the west of Chicago, only to find that the entire Chicago train station was empty.

There is not a single enemy.

After a careful check, they finally confirmed one thing: the Chinese did not leave any manpower at the train station.

The empty train station was filled with the sound of footsteps and clothes rubbing against each other.

"Did they run away?" A soldier came to the waiting room with a gun in his hand, and couldn't help but speak when he saw the empty hall.

"Maybe he's begging God for forgiveness at home!" another person responded in a low voice.

"No enemies, no explosives... safe!" The three men walked in a triangle in the waiting room hall, checked the gate, and looked outside through the gun hole on the gate.

Then set up the gun at the window.

A moment later, the lieutenant arrived with a team of people.

"Safe!" said a soldier who was deploying defenses without turning his head.

"There are no enemies outside, and the houses across the street seem to be empty... Maybe they haven't gotten up yet!"

"Stay alert!" The lieutenant swept his eyes across the hall, which was in a mess and there was blood on the ground.

There was a stack of newspapers on a bench in the waiting hall.

The lieutenant walked forward and took a look. He saw that the cover of the newspaper was just a cover. It showed a man sitting in the waiting hall where everyone was. The sunlight above his head fell on him, as if he was in the center of the stage.

"A new Declaration of Independence..."

When the lieutenant saw the headline in the newspaper, he guessed who the person in the photo was and almost tore up the newspaper.

"That bastard, is he provoking me?" The lieutenant cursed and put the newspaper aside. This newspaper was left here on purpose. Maybe there is some other information on it. Let the masters above consider it.

A few hours later, a large force and a train carrying supplies arrived at the train station.

A large number of soldiers poured into the train station and began to deploy defenses.

Nelson A. Miles was sitting on a train with a map of Chicago in front of him. There were various arrows on it, pointing to the Tremont Hotel in the city center.

Nelson A. Miles was surrounded by his adjutants, operations staff, and several regimental commanders and deputy regimental commanders.

"So he just gave up on the train station?" Nelson A. Miles frowned, not knowing what the other party was doing.

Since the other party knew to blow up the railway bridge in advance, it means that they are not stupid at all.

However, where he thought he would encounter fierce resistance, there was no enemy at all.

This gave him a weird feeling.

After a while, Nelson A. Miles relaxed his eyebrows. Perhaps he was overthinking it. The other party was just a gang leader, not a military general.

And we will soon know what the other party’s plans are.

Miles said to the others:

"Whatever the reason, it's a good thing for us."

"The enemy's base is here. Next, we have to push the front line forward..." Miles slid his finger along the arrow on the map while speaking. "Get here!"

"Occupy every street in front of you and check it closely!"

“Maybe the local people can provide us with some help!”

"The 16th Infantry Regiment is deployed at the railway station, and the 18th Infantry Regiment will move from here... to here..."

"The 19th Infantry Regiment..."

"Also, be careful of their guns!" Miles learned from the information that the weapon in Chen Zhengwei's hand was very powerful, but he had not yet experienced how powerful it was.

"Also, send two teams to guard here and there. Don't let him get away!"

Nelson A. Miles' tactics were simple: advance steadily, deploy the troops, and then push forward.

Deploy according to the opponent's actions.

"Mr. Brigadier General!" At this moment, his messenger stood at the door.

"whats the matter?"

"Several people came over and said they were sent by the Ministry of Justice!"

……

Just a few hours ago, Chen Zhengwei was still regretting that if it weren't for Anna last night, he would have been able to drag the ladies back to the room and chat all night long.

At his point, it doesn’t matter how beautiful those ladies are.

Beauty has never been considered an important resource.

What’s important is that they have husbands.

"Brother Wei, the army has arrived, about 200 people, and have occupied the train station!" After knocking on the door, Aaron walked into the living room of the suite and said to Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei nodded, it was the same as he had guessed.

The opponent's commander is too steady!
Knowing that he had held a party last night, he would not rush into anything rashly.

"Has the person been caught?" Chen Zhengwei asked about another matter.

After torturing those people from the Ministry of Justice last night, Aaron took people to arrest people.

"Seventeen were beaten to death, fifteen were captured, and some escaped... I didn't expect the Ministry of Justice to have arranged so many people in Chicago!" Aaron said immediately.

“There are only a few of them…” Chen Zhengwei sneered.

Just a few dozen people.

"The person who ran away must have gone to find Nelson!" Chen Zhengwei took out a toothpick from the side and bent down to pick out the dust from the gap between his nails.

"Oh, right. After they attack, carry the wounded to the front line! Tell him that as long as he retreats for three days, he will give them the wounded!"

"He will definitely not agree!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

The information says that Nelson was a very tough man, so he would not compromise on this point. Nelson could be tough, but it was hard to say what his soldiers would think. Although the impact would not be too great, it would definitely have some impact on morale.

The most important thing is that this matter can be used to make an article.

After Aaron left, Chen Zhengwei went back to his room to take a shower, then went downstairs with Anna.

Randolph Churchill and Henry Attlee were in the restaurant at this time.

There are fewer guests in the hotel recently. Many people checked out for fear of being affected by the war. However, these two people live here very peacefully.

Now that the army is approaching, the two men feel it is time to talk to Chen Zhengwei.

So after dinner in the restaurant, he drank a cup of black tea. When Chen Zhengwei finished his meal and was about to leave, Randolph Churchill stood up and stood beside the aisle.

"Mr. Chen, can we chat?"

He has been observing Chen Zhengwei recently and found that Chen Zhengwei is much smarter than he thought.

Moreover, even when faced with a massive army approaching, there was no sense of tension, let alone panic.

He was even hosting a party last night.

He thought Chen Zhengwei was very interesting.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Chen Zhengwei might be crazy or too arrogant.

But he didn't think so.

From the moment Chen Zhengwei and the Ministry of Justice started to argue in the newspapers, it became clear that Chen Zhengwei was actually very organized and was not an ordinary gang leader at all.

Then there is only one explanation for Chen Zhengwei's current behavior.

He is confident.

So, where does his confidence come from?

Chen Zhengwei glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then walked away with a swagger, without any intention of stopping.

Randolph Churchill stood there in astonishment.

"Mr. Chen!" Randolph Churchill shouted again.

"You're shouting so loudly, are you trying to scare me?" Chen Zhengwei turned his head to look at him, picked his ears, sneered and left.

He would talk to the two Englishmen, but not now.

Talking to them now would just be a waste of your time and words.

After completely wiping out these three infantry regiments, they should know what tone and attitude to use when talking to themselves.

Randolph Churchill opened his mouth slightly, looked at Chen Zhengwei's back and said nothing.

"This Chinese man is too arrogant! The army should be here by now, but he is still so ignorant of his own life and death. It looks like we will hardly gain anything this time!" Henry Attlee frowned and whispered, his eyes full of anger and contempt.

"I think you're wrong. He's just an arrogant, ignorant barbarian!"

"Go back to your room first!" Randolph Churchill said softly.

He had no idea what the Chinese man was planning, but he should know who the two of them represented.

At a time like this, he should have a good talk with me, but he didn't seem to want to talk to me at all.

When the two men walked to the elevator entrance, they suddenly heard a gunshot in the distance, followed by more intense gunshots.

At the same time, many people on the streets of Chicago heard the intensive gunfire in the distance, looked up into the distance, and then quickly left the street.

The Army is coming.

The battle begins.

……

An hour ago, after a short rest, the soldiers of the 18th and 19th Regiments began to advance towards their target.

The first was a shopping street facing the train station. They even set up three-pound cannons, but found that the other side had no defense here at all.

The entire shopping street was empty.

Then the two regiments separated according to companies and began searching street by street.

At the same time, Wen Bingzhong was leading a group of people in the alley behind.

Hearing footsteps not far away, Wen Bingzhong looked outside with a small mirror and saw a group of soldiers searching with rifles.

When the enemy approached within a few meters, Wen Bingzhong gave his men a look, and then the two men stretched their guns out to the entrance of the alley and pulled the trigger directly.

You don't even need to aim, just scan!
Da da da!
Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the group of people who were searching were immediately knocked to the ground.

The remaining members of that small group of soldiers quickly hid behind nearby obstacles and fired at this side with their guns.

However, Wen Bingzhong and his men did not even show their heads. They just extended their guns and pulled the triggers to fire, making them unable to raise their heads.

……

Two streets away, a group of soldiers heard the gunshots and immediately turned around to provide support.

However, as soon as he walked into an alley, he bumped into several Chinese youths in hunting suits.

Both sides were taken aback.

"enemy!"

The team of soldiers quickly raised their guns and aimed, but while they were aiming, the Chinese youths had already put their guns at their waists and pulled the triggers and fired.

Da da da!
"Fuck!" This was the last thought in a soldier's mind!

Half a minute later, the Chinese youths spat at the bodies on the ground and hurried into the alley.

This happens on every street and in every alley.

The moment the two sides exchanged fire, the soldiers of the 18th and 19th Infantry Regiments were stunned!
While I was still raising my gun and aiming, the enemy's bullets were already coming towards me!
That's too damn much!
Especially in close-range firefights such as street fighting.

The firepower was completely crushed!

Even if both sides hid behind obstacles, the smoke from a round of shooting would block their vision.

By the time the smoke cleared, the enemy had either already reached you or had long since disappeared.

　Finally it’s out, I can go to sleep now!
