Chapter 149: August 3rd, Oxnard Defense!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Aim! Fire! ”

Bang bang bang......

Time is slowly passing, Li Mengyang did not let them disappear in vain, he was seizing the last bit of time to train his compatriots well.

This is already the best effort, and there is really no other way. However, there are several good news for the current revolutionary army, on the one hand, the morale is high, after all, under the leadership of Li Mengyang, the revolutionary army has not fought a single defeat.

On the other hand, that is, logistics, equipment can still be assured.

The logistics thing is interesting, the revolutionary army has detained a lot of materials, and they use these things directly, right?

As for the equipment, in fact, it has never been produced, but fortunately, when he was in New York, he loaded enough goods, which were more than 100 ships, and he Li Mengyang did not load less guns and ammunition.

There is no need to think about these things, but Li Mengyang is still most worried about one thing, that is, the appearance of a group of recruits on the battlefield.

"Report!"

I heard the herald's shout in the distance.

"Please!" Li Mengyang was standing on a small hill east of Oxnard at this time, which was the last remnant of the Sierra Nevada, which happened to be here, and the Pacific Ocean could be seen in the west, so the choice of this position was also impeccable.

"Majesty!" The herald did not dismount, but saluted on his horse, "We have spotted American troops five miles away!" ”

"How many?"

"Not particularly clear, but at least one brigade!"

"Good!" It's really good, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Li Mengyang looked at his pocket watch. "It's August 3rd. Sue sù all the soldiers. We will soon face a vicious enemy, so now I order all officers and men to enter the first level of combat readiness! ”

Don't say it, Li Mengyang didn't go to any military school, but he gave orders and did a good job, after all, he had fought a lot of battles.

“yes-sir!” The herald immediately went down on his horse.

At this time, the position arrangement on Li Mengyang's side is like this. The hill where he was located, which was the high point, had two Gatling guns and five cannons.

This angle and position can just give full play to the lethality of the machine gun, and in this era, the lethality of the machine gun is much better than that of the cannon!

Moreover, Li Mengyang just knew that the machine guns had to be arranged on both wings of the battle line, and he didn't know the specific reason. But this arrangement is the most lethal.

And there are 500 people on the hill, mainly to control the machine guns. There are also those who guard this commanding height. And under the mountain, there are two lines of defense!

The first is that at the forefront of Oxnard, there are 3,000 Chinese troops here, and they are in the lead!

And after that, there are the units of the revolutionary army, and here are fifteen hundred people!

There were two thousand Chinese troops left, who served as logistics troops, as well as the general reserve.

In other words, this reserve team is a little less, but Li Mengyang is still full of confidence in his arrangement.

If you've ever seen the terrain of Oxnard, you'll know that if someone is here to defend it, it's too difficult to figure out Guò unless you're a petrel.

The Sierra Nevada is only a few kilometers from the coastline, which means that there is only one narrow route left for the opponent to attack.

And now, two lines of defense, plus a commanding height, moreover, the front is dug trenches, both wings are guarded by machine guns, plus the current tactics of the US army, such a front is simply impregnable!

To put it bluntly, it is precisely because of this that Li Mengyang will send his compatriots, these guys who have not trained for two months, to the battlefield, he Li Mengyang is not crazy, and he will not let his compatriots die!

The arrangement of Yiqiē is actually perfect, but Li Mengyang is wrong in estimating, that is, the US troops who came back this time are different......

Time, August 3, 1862, this day seems to have happened in San Francisco, California several years ago, but many people can't remember it, after all, things are not people.

And on the afternoon of this day, I saw a group of fierce people appear in the northwest direction of Oxnard, these guys are very strange, they are flying the American flag, some of them are wearing the uniform of the American army, but more guys are not good at first glance!

More of them don't wear uniforms, these guys are completely cowboys, their faces are dark, they have big yellow teeth, they spit out thick phlegm when they have nothing to do, and they fiddle with their guns.

Yes, there are many kinds of guns and ammunition, and more people are holding revolvers, because among these individuals, there are especially many people on horseback.

Most of the current U.S. military-standard rifles are front-loading guns, which are cheap, and to kill people on horses, you have to take a revolver without a Burnside rifle.

But such a group of people, such a group of strange people, Sheriff Curtis knows in his heart that they are the last hope in California!

These guys used to be all bandits, and many of them basically belonged to the kind of people who could go straight to the gallows without being tried if they were caught.

But these guys are the ones who are willing to fight for California right now!

In total, around 5,000, this is the largest force led by Curtis, and their goal now is ......

“hey-guys!” Curtis began to do the most important and only front mobilization of his life, "I know what kind of bastards you used to be! You know what I do! But, today, we're joining hands for California! We can work together today! Because if we don't, then California won't be ours! Will you still be able to rob and kill people then? Will I still be able to arrest you when the time comes? Not anymore! ”

This is ...... It's hard to look at, but don't say it, the Yankees still like it.

Only to hear Curtis yell at the end: "Bastards! We can still do whatever we want! Let's have a blast! ”

"Oooo

"Woo-la-la-la!"

All kinds of voices came, mainly coaxing, and some even imitated the cries of the Indians!

Li Mengyang saw this scene in the telescope. Although he couldn't hear what the guys were saying. But apparently they are a rabble. This made Li Mengyang even more convinced that he could win this battle!

Besides, it seems to be Sheriff Curtis, right?

Li Mengyang saw it very clearly, it was an old acquaintance of his own, I don't know why, Li Mengyang suddenly had a feeling, 'I, Hu Hansan is back'!

Sheriff Curtis naturally doesn't know what kind of mentality his opponent is, and now, all he needs is offense!

“guys! Advance! ”

"Oooo

"Woo-la-la-la!"

A whistling. The rabble began to push the horsepower, and they had been slow to arrive at Oxnard until now.

"It's coming!" Li Mengyang can see clearly that the opponent has already started to attack, so there is no need to add up on his side.

"Sue all the people, fight!"

"Yes!" The herald went down immediately, in fact, it was the same whether he went down or not, and everyone knew what to do at this time.

At this time, Li Mengyang suddenly pulled out his saber and pointed forward.

"Artillery ready! Fire! ”

Bang! Bang!

Let's be honest. As far as the artillery under Li Mengyang is concerned, they are not very qualified. Basically, they can roughly get the direction of the cannon right, but they don't understand exactly where to hit and what shells to use.

Artillery, in this era, is really a technical branch, not to mention now, there are few people in China who can shoot artillery in a few decades.

Li Mengyang won't either, but now you have to come to catch the ducks on the shelves!

Bang! Bang!

But not to mention, the opponent rushed fast, and most of them were recruits, and the horse had never seen anything in the world, so this artillery fire really worked, and the hula really made a lot of cowboys fall off their horses!

"Good!" Li Mengyang saw that there was a door, which could be regarded as a good start. So, go ahead!

"Fire!"

Bang! Bang!

On the hill, the artillery kept roaring, but in this era, artillery was not enough for cavalry, so now it is up to the defense line on the flat ground, the soldiers in the trenches.

The first line of defense, that is, the line of defense of the Chinese, is about to be put to the test!

"Lao Zhang! How do you feel? ”

"Why are you asking this?"

"Did you pee?"

"Me? Nope! ”

"Fuck me peeing!"

"Fuck it!"

The Chinese soldiers in the trenches, they are really pure recruits, although the opponent is also a recruit, but they are all murderous guys who don't blink an eye before, this is absolutely incomparable, so many Chinese soldiers saw the impact of the other party, their legs trembled!

"It's about to go into shooting range!" Chamberlain was ordering, and he could only follow a trench command for now. "Ready! Aim! ”

The voice is long, because he wants to get the opponent closer to shoot again.

"Ahh Some of the Chinese soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, he was so scared that he wanted to die, so he turned around and ran back!

“shit!” Chamberlain scolded!

"What the hell!" Mai Lili is even more resolute, he raised his hand before is a shot, no words, to enforce battlefield discipline!

Li Mengyang had told him before that this battle must be tough and ruthless, and why did he put the 1,500 people of the revolutionary army in the second line of defense?

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves is getting closer.

"This, this ......"

"It's scary!"

"Keep it! Keep! Chamberlain was still shouting, there was still some distance left, but he saw that some soldiers couldn't hold on, hey~

"Fire!" Simply do it! You can't do it without firing a few shots!

Bang bang bang......

In the trenches, rows of bullets were fired, but what Li Mengyang saw in the telescope was that the effect seemed to be quite average, and there were not many people who fell off the enemy's horse...... (To be continued......)
