552 Gatling Cannon

The Gatling machine gun was designed by the American Richard Joe Den Gatling in 1860, and was put into actual combat in the American Civil War.

In real history, around the thirteenth year of Tongzhi in 1874, the Gatling machine gun was imported into China, and it was called "Green Cannon" or "Green Fast Cannon" at that time. However, now that Xiao Lotian is in charge, this classic gun will naturally not escape his clutches, in order to protect Ryukyu and Tanggu, Xiao Lotian has actually placed an order with the United States in the spring.

Perhaps because the American Civil War had just ended, people couldn't afford to produce this kind of weapon, or because politicians in Washington were a little reluctant to sell Xiao Lotian such a sharp weapon on the battlefield, anyway, the four Gatling machine guns, which should have arrived in the summer, were delayed for more than four months until Xiao Lotian returned to the Ryukyus, and was brought to the Ryukyus by the old American captain Daniel.

When mankind invented the machine gun, the war model of the Middle Ages had no chance to turn around, and when the sudden brass sound of the Dagukou Fort, the four scythes of hell were open to harvest.

"The brothers of the Green Camp all lay down...... Everyone got down on their stomachs...... Gatling fires ......"

"Crossfire...... Leave no dead ends...... All the sneak attackers did not leave a ......"

Sudden ...... The dense gunfire hit the enemy tide like a torrential rain, and the crowds of cavalry could not go faster than the speed of bullets, and this one-sided slaughter immediately frightened everyone.

The four fire dragons, cross-echoing, are like a battlefield point reader, where everyone clicks, and one by one the bullet chains are stuffed in, in exchange for pieces of enemies falling in pools of blood.

Sima Yun, Luo Huo, Noheita, and Hyotaro are now guarding a machine-gun firing position, with their feet slightly apart, and one of them wearing a white glove with a stinky fart on his hands, which he learned from the group of European aristocratic officers.

Sima Yun held the telescope in one hand and the command knife at his waist in the other, coldly observing the dynamics of the battlefield, "Very good, great, this six-barreled rapid-fire cannon is really a sharp weapon for battlefield assault, this weapon is very suitable for the Prime Minister's Marine Corps, we must purchase a large number of ......"

"Obediently, the firepower is greater than that of a rifle, and the weight is much lighter than that of artillery, and four people can run all over the mountain with it, this is really a sharp weapon for the assault of special operations forces..."

Just when Sima Yun was praising without words, suddenly Gatling in front of him was actually stuck.

"Stupid, how many times have you said that you shook the crank at a uniform speed, how did you do it? You are distraught with this little formation?" a company commander next to the shooter rushed up and scolded.

Sima Yun frowned, "Tian cannon... Remember that we are testing new weapons, and occasional failures are inevitable, and the prime minister has said that this kind of Gatling is easy to get stuck, and it must be manipulated by veterans, so you can do it..."

Tian Cannon shrank his neck, grabbed the shooter's position with a smile, and began to reload the chain. But at this moment, there was a sudden shout from the pile of dead people in the firing position, and four or five figures jumped out.

"Rebellious...... This is actually a few Eight Banners soldiers, who have just pretended to be dead in the shooting and hid in the pile of dead people.

Now Gatling is stuck, and the man in the white gloves looks like a commander, and the style of the military uniform is more ornate than that of the soldiers, maybe even a general.

Several Eight Banner soldiers were also ruthless characters, and they took this opportunity to grab knives and rushed up to "kill this rebel...... Kill this group of Han people..."Wow, the noisy Eight Banners soldiers of the wow, the noisy Sima Yun plucked out his ears, looking at the ugly faces and the little tongue in his throat, not to mention how disgusting.

Sima Yun didn't even bother to speak, stretched out his snow-white gloved index finger and shook it gently at the enemy, which obviously meant 'you can't do it'.

Such contempt made the Eight Banners Warriors furious, there are only five steps between you and me, even if I fight to get shot, I can cut the knife on your body" and die together...... Jade is burned ......"

In the midst of a distorted roar, suddenly from the firing position a knife out of the sheath sound, "Duck give...... Protect the general..."In the dark night, six swords flickered and slashed over, and instantly formed a small swords array.

The more than one-meter-long Taidao was extremely sharp, coupled with the fact that six people slashed at the same time, facing the enemy with a battle formation, several Eight Banner soldiers only felt a chill in their bodies, followed by endless pain.

The skull fell to the ground, and the last bit of his consciousness was to watch his body shatter into three pieces, and his internal organs flowed down like a waterfall.

Sima Yun didn't bother to look at these sneak attackers from beginning to end, he just took off his white gloves with regret, because there were a few drops of stinky blood splashed on them.

The assault of the dead was just a small episode on the battlefield, and soon Gatling, who was operating the Tian artillery battle, began to breathe out anger again, and in the deafening gunfire, Tian the cannon shouted loudly.

The American engineer said...... This crank-shaking heavy machine gun had a flaw...... That is, it must be shaken at a uniform speed to ensure that it does not jam......"

"And the rookie can't handle this weapon...... Because their psychological elements are not too hard...... , I can speak official language in the cannon battle...... Silly boys, do you know what a psychological element is? hahaha......"

"That means you're facing a mountain of corpses and a rain of blood...... Facing the charging cavalry...... Even if there are demons and monsters coming out of hell on the other side, your hearts can't be disturbed...... Give me a calm, uniform crank...... Only then can we win..."

In the dense gunfire, Tian Cannon needs to shout loudly to explain the experience to the shooters around him, this guy has a bad mouth, but as a veteran, his psychological elements are indeed excellent.

In Hamburg, this guy worked as a squad leader for Prussian recruits, kicked Steven in the ass with big leather boots, and experienced the miracle battle of Nakata in the Battle of Sadowa, not to mention the surprise attack on the Franco-Swiss border.

After so many bloody battles, this group of veterans can already laugh at life and death, and ordinary people are about to vomit at a glance, and in their eyes, it is as indifferent as a few pieces of waste paper left on the ground.

"Do you see clearly...... Go ahead and follow what I just said...... What a great training opportunity this is...... Take the big living man and let you train new weapons...... It's a lot better than on the training ground......"

"Fire...... Keep firing...... Remember that you're not a human being, they're just a bunch of scarecrows, and you don't have to think about anything when you fire...... Kill the scarecrow, you're going to have to panic ......"

Sima Yun listened to Tian Cannon's shouting, and nodded secretly in his heart, "Yes, it would be nice if this cannon battle only learned a little more culture, damn it, he has to recognize a thousand more words, and Lao Tzu immediately promoted him to be the head of the regiment......"

The battle of the Dagukou Fort has now come to an end, it is not so much that they are fighting but that they are training, four Gatling heavy machine guns, that is, four learning points, the carefully selected shooters each hit ten bullet chains, and after a while, there will be no more enemies standing on the Kung Fu Fort.

At this time, Liu Lang and Ye Qiupang Chaoyun also rushed over to converge, Sima Yun, Luo Huo and others saw that it was the gray-bearded General Liu Lang, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"The old general... Why are you here?"

Liu Lang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, why do you call me an old general? But when he looked at Sima Yun's outfit and the murderous aura on the new army around him, he understood everything.

The army in front of him is no longer something he can command, the gray-bearded Liu Lang is already old, and what he represents is only that period of history during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun were their own soldiers at the time, and now they have 120,000 points of respect for themselves, but this is just respect.

I am already old, and the old ones can't keep up with their advancing speed, just look at these standard military formations, as well as strange weapons that can't be named, all of them have proven that they are old.

"These are all soldiers you brought out? yes, really good...... What about Xiao Hexin? Why didn't he come?"

"Report to the old general, these soldiers were all trained by the prime minister, and our training methods were also taught by the prime minister, this is the prime minister's army......" Sima Yun gave a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and then said lonely.

"Xiao Hexin is now on the Wave Crusher, with the prime minister...... He was wounded in the knee and hit a bayonet in Europe...... Listening to what the Western doctor said......" Sima Yun choked up when he left, and he wiped his eyes fiercely.

"It's possible that Xiao Hexin will have to use crutches for the rest of his life..."

"Ahh Crippled?" Liu Lang's distressed face suddenly jumped up, "Oops...... How can this be, Xiao Hexin is handsome, handsome..."

Just when everyone was feeling sorry, suddenly a familiar voice sounded under the fort: "Why did the old general say this? Even if I, Xiao Hexin, have been on crutches all my life, I am still a general who leads troops to fight...... The prime minister told me that in the future, let me fight on horseback, and let me ride a car and fly a plane to command ......"

"I wondered, what kind of car is this, what kind of chicken is the plane? hahaha...... But the prime minister didn't explain to me, so he said that he would be able to understand everything in the future..."

The hardwood cane wrapped in the brass mouth struck on the stone slab, and Xiao Hexin's figure flashed under the light of the torch. Liu Lang rushed over and grabbed Xiao Hexin's shoulder, "You...... Why did you become like this......" After speaking, Liu Lang's eyes were red.

Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, and Wang Huaiyuan, like Liu Lang, were the first wave of the Northern Expeditionary Army that year, and they began to flee in all directions after the defeat in Tianjin.

For so many years, Liu Lang has regarded them as his own brothers, and today he sees Xiao Hexin injured, and it is the most difficult knee to heal, which has proved that Xiao Hexin will not be able to go to the battlefield for the rest of his life.

How can Liu Lang not be sad, a good man can no longer be on the battlefield, this result is even more unacceptable than dying in battle.

Xiao Hexin smiled bitterly and pushed General Liu Lang away, took a step back, and respectfully gave a new army salute, "Old general, don't be like this, the prime minister is about to set up a general staff, and you want me to be the first chief of staff, this is an honor......"

"What? General Staff...... What is this, staff?" asked Liu Lang puzzled.

Xiao He sighed confidently, he knew very well that Liu Lang's thinking could no longer keep up with the times, and their generation was destined to be eliminated.

"Old general, I'll talk to you after the war, now that the prime minister has issued a new military order, we have to fight..."
