Chapter 189: Weapons
Wherever the infantry fighting vehicles went, there was a tsunami of mountains and tsunami.
The situation at this time was indeed unusual, the Tiger Ben army only had 85,000 men, but the enemy on the opposite side was seven or eight times that of the Tiger Ben army. Although the Tiger Army is well armed, the Indian coalition also has front-loading rifled guns and mortars. In the past, the Tiger Ben army faced four or five times as many Tartars in Jinzhou and suffered heavy casualties, but the Tartars were basically cold-weaponized soldiers and horses.
In the face of troops seven or eight times larger than themselves equipped with advanced thermal weapons, there is no bottom on how the war will end. If it is a bloody battle between the trenches and the Indian coalition, it is really a big question mark whether the supply line can be secured in the end. Once the external supply lines were cut off, the 85,000 Tiger Army would inevitably be reimbursed in full in the state of Gradna.
The entire Tiger Ben Army was a little trembling at this time. Not only was Chen Qi'er, who had low combat literacy, scared alone, but in fact all the soldiers were a little uneasy.
At this time, seeing the infantry fighting vehicles driving over, the soldiers' mood was almost like seeing a savior.
The incomparably hard armor of the tank, the tough tracks that crushed everything, the black holes in the breech-loading muzzles and the barrels of the machine guns that made people fear when they saw them were now a symbol of strength and victory in the eyes of the soldiers. If the situation is critical at this time, it is more reassuring to see such a large number of infantry fighting vehicles coming.
One by one, the logisticians in charge of carrying the baggage stopped what they were doing, waved their arms excitedly at the chariot, and shouted loudly.
Even the soldiers of the Tiger Army on the front line were inexplicably excited, holding the sapper shovel in their hands high and letting out the biggest cheers.
Infantry fighting vehicles are like a group of superheroes who save the world, and gradually drive to the frontal battlefield amid cheers.
Boss Wei looked at the infantry fighting vehicles dressed in camouflage with wide eyes, and gradually let go of Chen Qi'er who was holding in his hand.
Chen Qi'er lost Boss Wei's grip and fell into the ditch all of a sudden. But he quickly crawled out of the trench after falling to the ground, and lay on the ground, his mouth wide open, staring at the chariots with an expression of disbelief, as if his eyes were about to fall.
Lu Du jumped up in the trench with his hands dancing and said loudly: "Company commander! Captain! So many infantry fighting vehicles came! This battle was fought! Hit! ”
Boss Wei looked at Lu Du and asked, "You count!" How many infantry fighting vehicles are coming here? ”
Lu Du was stunned, trying to count the chariots that were driving densely, but he couldn't count them anyway. In the end, Lu Du said helplessly: "Company commander, there are too many, I can't count them." ”
Boss Wei looked at Lu Du and nodded, and his tightly wrung brows loosened. Anyway, there are a lot of them.
A soldier standing on a higher ground next to him called Kong Zhisu shouted loudly: "Company commander, there are at least 1,500 vehicles!" ”
Boss Wei looked at Kong Zhisu and said, "There are so many? ”
The soldier said loudly: "Company commander, I have learned reconnaissance and counting, I have just calculated, there are indeed so many. ”
Boss Wei took a breath and said, "The industrial capacity of the prince is too terrifying, and it has only been half a year. ”
Kong Zhisu, who was next to him, said loudly: "Company commander, an infantry fighting vehicle can hold seven operators and ten assault soldiers, and this thousand five hundred infantry fighting vehicles can contain at least fifteen thousand assault soldiers!" ”
Lu Du nodded violently and said loudly: "This battle is fought!" Hit! ”
Boss Wei touched his mouth with his right hand and stood there without speaking.
A fast horse suddenly rushed in front, and immediately sat a herald. The herald rushed to Boss Wei's side and waved the command flag, held up the token, and shouted: "Boss Wei, the commander of the third company, listen to the order!" ”
Boss Wei hurriedly saluted: "Boss Wei is here!" ”
"The regimental headquarters transferred your company to follow the infantry fighting vehicle unit to advance and serve as the auxiliary attack mission of the rear of the palace. The specific arrangements are commanded by Lu Congliang, the leader of the third-party camp! ”
Boss Wei hurriedly replied: "Boss Wei has an order!" “
The herald nodded, stopped talking nonsense, turned his horse's head and went to the next company.
Boss Wei looked at the soldiers around him and found that the morale of the soldiers had been boosted again. He snorted coldly and said, "Tie up Chen Qi'er and prepare to hand it over to the military court for trial." “
Chen Qi'er looked at Boss Wei with her mouth wide open, her face full of disbelief.
……
The Persian emperor Abbas II stood on a hill more than a hundred meters high, which had been decorated with various objects to form a temporary royal palace. The floor is covered with an ornate Persian carpet with a chic Central Asian-style shade pavilion. Abbas II stood under the shade pavilion, holding a high-powered monocular given to him by the Dutch.
The telescope is extremely delicately made, and the barrel is decorated with intricate patterns of flowers and birds, making it look like a work of art – after all, it was still the 17th century, and the use of artistic decoration on high-level weapons was still very popular.
Ahead and around Abbas, the boundless Indian coalition forces were digging trenches on the periphery of the Tiger Army. In fact, the Indian coalition forces have taken advantage of the numerical advantage to complete the encirclement and encircle the Tiger Army from four directions. Except for the more than 30 square kilometers that were dug and defended, the Tiger Army had completely lost contact with the outside world.
This means that the Tiger Army will lose its logistical supply lines. Unless the Tiger Army forcibly breaks through, it will be trapped by the Indian coalition forces.
Abbas II was in a good mood until he saw the infantry fighting vehicles belching black smoke.
Those chariots made of steel gave Bosshah a great sense of oppression, and cracks appeared in his otherwise calm and relaxed mood.
Abbas II looked at it for a long time, and finally frowned and asked, "Bardeep, what is that?" “
Bardeep's mouth had been open since he had seen the infantry fighting vehicle in the telescope just now, and when he was asked by Abbas II, he panicked.
"Great Shah, I don't know, I've never seen anything like that."
Abbas II frowned and gave Bardeep a fierce look.
Bardeep was glared at by the Persian emperor like this, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Shah! I have not deceived you! We have never seen this weapon in Myanmar! I swear to Allah, I will never dare to deceive you! “
Abbas II gritted his teeth and raised the telescope again.
The Ottoman Prime Minister Koplulu also widened his eyes and said, "That chariot is driving so fast, faster than a horse-drawn carriage." What is this? Why doesn't it need cows and horses to walk on their own, and it looks like it's made of iron. “
Looking at it, Koplulu couldn't help but say loudly: "Shah! Those chariots are rushing towards our frontal trenches! Looks like it's going to attack us due south! “
Some fine sweat broke out on Abbas II's forehead.
He lost the composure of the previous day, and with a wave of his hand he shouted, "Move all the heavy artillery sent by the Dutch and the British to the south, and bombard these chariots that can walk on their own!" “
