Chapter 1338: The Red-Legged Devil

readx;?“ For the unification of the United States, forward! ”

Captain of the Fourteenth Brooklyn Militia Regiment, Nickle Brown. With tears in his eyes, Colonel Sanborn shouted this slogan that had been hidden in his heart for an unknown number of years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although the number of this unit has the word "militia" on it, whoever wants to treat them as a rabble is very wrong. This unit was one of the few well-known units in the Northern Army in the last North American War, because the soldiers were all from Brooklyn, New York, and the officers and soldiers strongly demanded it, so it was named the Brooklyn 14th Militia Regiment. In addition, the regiment was nicknamed the "Red-Legged Devils" in the North American War, which came from their red military pants and bravery!

After the end of the North American War, these "red-legged devils" fought on the front line of friction with Donghua all year round, and naturally honed into a first-class powerhouse! In terms of their weapons and equipment, combat experience, and the courage of their soldiers, only a few of the most elite infantry regiments in Donghua can be compared with them, and the rest, even the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the British Empire, cannot compete with the elites who fought this kind of battlefield one-on-one.

Hearing the roar of their regimental commander, more officers squeezed the same cry out of their chests. The more than 2,000 warriors lurking in a wheat field all stood up, each holding their rifles with bayonets on their hands. The officers, wielding their command knives, were the first to move forward. Then there was a flood of American soldiers in red military trousers. While advancing, he opened up the formation and put out the most standard offensive skirmisher line!

The current Imperial Army of the United States is not the Union Army of the last war. Already allowed them to master the most advanced infantry tactics of this era. No more brainless crowd charges.

By this time, the smoke that had shrouded the middle of the battlefield had dissipated somewhat. Huang Bingkun, who was standing behind the front-line position of the Chinese army, and several equally experienced Chinese army officers finally saw the red trouser leg appear, and everyone took a light breath. The Americans put in the most elite soldiers as soon as they came up, and it seems that they are bound to win!

"It's the Red-legged Devil!" Major General Ho Xiucheng, chief of staff of the Fifth Infantry Division, put down his binoculars and looked back at Huang Bingkun. "Division Commander, it seems to be a tough battle!"

Huang Bingkun nodded in a deep voice, and said lightly: "Let the second artillery company carry out blocking and shooting!" ”

Eighteen 75 guns, which had been hidden, showed their muzzles after receiving the order, and the gunners also removed the cover and violently pushed the bullets into the chamber. Ropes of fire pulled. Tongues of fire erupted from every muzzle!

These guns were deployed very close to the front-line positions, and they were also fired at direct fire, and they could fire shells into the heads of the "red-legged devils" almost with their eyes closed. Immediately, the "devils" fell into a hell of fire. The whistling shrapnel almost turned the battlefield into a deadly morgue. Even if the formation of the "devils" was very loose, they still suffered a lot of losses in the first place. However, most of the "devils" who were not hit were all reacted immediately, some looking for terrain features that could cover a single piece of terrain for cover, and some simply lay on the ground and did not move.

The artillery bombardment of the Donghua Army could not last, because the artillery group of the American army was stronger than them! In a few minutes at most, these 75 fast guns deployed on the front line will be covered by American artillery shells -- so the artillery drill code of the Donghua Army stipulates that if the enemy has the ability to counterattack artillery. Direct-aim artillery should not fire for more than 3 minutes at a time, followed by an immediate shift of position. Occasional artillery, on the other hand, is in a situation where the weather conditions are favorable for the enemy to observe (the sound measurement method has not yet been invented). The maximum continuous firing time should not exceed 5 minutes, after which the same should be transferred immediately.

As soon as the shelling of the Chinese army stopped, the "red-legged devils" were again in the middle of their young regimental commander, Nikel. Colonel Sanborn began the charge with a loud order.

"Rush! For the unity of America! ”

"Rush! For America! ”

At the sound of the slogan, their machine guns also moved forward together, and they were set up within 1,500 meters of the Chinese position, and they were launched with a click, providing cover for the advancing American troops with side-firing fire.

Lieutenant Zhang Xun, the company commander of the 3rd Company of the 41st Battalion of the 14th Regiment of the 5th Division of the Donghua Army, raised his loud voice in the trench where his company was stationed.

"Hurry up, get the gun up! Lao Mei is coming up! The time has come for us to make meritorious contributions! It's time to serve the king! ”

He is a native of Fengxin, Jiangxi, and after his parents died eight years ago, he became an apprentice chef on a steam sailing ship and crossed the ocean to Donghua. Half of the ship's sailors and crew ran away in San Francisco (which is a common thing), and they all went to naturalize Donghua to claim land! And he ran away with him in a daze, but because he was too young to get the land, Donghua did not allow people to hire child labor. In the end, I had no choice but to apply for the junior class of the Donghua Army Military Academy, which lasted for seven years, and I just graduated last year, and now I am in the middle of a war. At his loud urging, the soldiers, who had been huddled in the trenches to avoid the shells, stood up and entered the firing positions. Three machine guns were also dragged out of the anti-artillery holes, put on the chain, ready to do a good job!

When the young Donghua soldiers inside were ready, in the smoke of gunpowder, the first batch of "red-legged devils" had already appeared in front of them with their heads down! The American GIs, dressed in conspicuous red trousers and blue uniforms, wore the same steel helmets as the Donghua soldiers, but instead of being painted black, they were made to look silver, and the top of the helmet was decorated with a spear-like ornament that shone harshly in the sun. Because of the shelling and long-distance charge just now, the pace of these American soldiers became staggering, and some of them were covered with blood, like a group of fierce gods and evil ghosts rushing out of hell! They were soon approaching the Chinese position, and the previous artillery preparations had broken the obstacles set up in front of the position, clearing a passage for the attack.

Zhang Xun yelled: "Free shooting!" Then he picked up a Type 73 rifle and aimed it at a saber-wielding beauty. The official is a shot!

Machine guns and rifles in the trenches were fired at the same time. Countless thin red rays, either alone or in strings, flew at great speed towards the Americans less than two hundred meters away. The stormtroopers of the U.S. troops were hit head-on by this, and they immediately fell down screaming. The soldiers who rushed to the front were almost all swept down! But the people behind still charged forward without hesitation!

A young American military officer had his legs broken by bullets and blood was spilling all over the ground, but he still shouted the slogan "Long live America" and crawled forward!

Some American soldiers stopped advancing, either kneeling on one knee or lying on the ground, and the machine guns of the Donghua Army were fired fiercely with their rifles. A dense rain of bullets stirred up small columns of smoke on several machine-gun positions. The machine gun shooter was constantly being hit and replaced. Taking advantage of the slight weakening of the machine gun fire of the Donghua Army, the "red-legged devil" of the US army has rushed to the eyes of the Chinese army!

"Throw grenades!"

The officers shouted orders. Hundreds of 20-year-old grenades flew out of their hands, and none of the other infantry had any intention of firing except for snipers and machine guns. Explosions rang out in front of the trenches. The "red-legged devils" were hit hard again, and they were blown down one by one! But the Americans still go forward and follow suit, looking at death as home! After throwing hundreds of grenades in one go, Zhang Xun and his brothers finally let the "red-legged devils" rush over, and groups of American troops finally poured into their trenches!

Hand-to-hand combat began in this trench immediately! Both sides were elite men who dared to see red in their bayonets, but the American soldiers still had some advantages in physique. Moreover, the number of "red-legged devils" is still more than Zhang Xun's brothers! As more and more American troops jumped into the trenches, the scales of victory gradually tilted like American troops. However, the tenacity of the officers and men of the Fifth Division of the Donghua Army is also rare, they have not thought of retreating at all, and there is nowhere to retreat! Military discipline is not a casual thing to say in Donghua! The Overseer's machine guns are right behind them! And when you are a prisoner, you don't have to think about it, the East Chinese and the American Empire are mortal enemies! And the U.S. military is also fighting with their lives, and both sides are completely crazy, waving everything they can catch in their hands. The only thing on my mind is to put the people in front of me to death, no matter what way it takes! From time to time, the sound of grenades exploding could be heard inside the trenches. It was a soldier on both sides who had reached the last moment, who had been seriously injured and had reached the last moment, pulling out the grenades on their bodies and dying with each other!
