The huge explosion formed mushroom-shaped clouds. Wu Sangui could see people flying in the sky through the telescope. Those flying into the sky disappeared and disappeared in the black clouds. You could even see that their hands and feet were still scratching.

It seems to be catching something.

Momojiro squatted in the bunker, plugging his ears tightly with his hands. The huge explosion made him jump on the ground. His chest was tight, his head was swollen, and the joints in his body were almost torn apart.

"Ugh...!" Momojiro retched for a while, only vomiting out some gastric juice. The last time he ate was last night. This morning and noon, he only drank a few mouthfuls of water and couldn't eat anything at all.

Fortunately, I didn't eat anything, otherwise I would have been vomiting by now.

Although he was extremely uncomfortable, Momojiro was still counting the explosions in his mind. One, two, three, four!

He had just seen that there was only one enemy airship. In other words, there were at most four bombs.

"Get out, get out." Momojiro knew that the infantry must have followed after the bombing, and maybe the infantry was already charging now.

He grabbed a tall Zhang Xiren and kicked his butt to push him out. He didn't know how he got so big, but the tall Zhang Xiren was actually kicked out by Momojiro.

In other bunkers, the Japanese soldiers were doing the same thing. They knew that if they were blocked in the bunker, they would die uglier than a pig.

I have seen people trapped in underground bunkers and smoke bombs suffocate them to death, with their faces scratched to pieces. No one wants to die like that. If that happens, it would be better to give yourself a shot.

Momojiro followed the large group of people out, and there were already many Shoxi soldiers lying in the trench. Momojiro quickly asked his soldiers to enter the fighting position, and the tongue man had no time to translate his words. Momojiro could only pull the people and go to the shooting hole.

Press up.

"Machine gun! Machine gun!" During the bombing, the only five machine guns were carried into the bunker by the Zhangxi people commanded by the Japanese soldiers, and now they are carrying them out with great effort.

Several machine gunners skillfully pulled out the ammunition chains and loaded them.

Sure enough, the Indian soldiers on the opposite side started to charge again. This time there were more people than before. There were two to three thousand people. Those guys threw off their big feet and ran very fast one by one. So many people wanted to run fast? Even

No shoes.

It's not because the shoes weigh much. It's because these people haven't worn shoes since they were young, and now it's inconvenient to run in them.

In just ten seconds, the "chug" sound of the machine gun rang out. Bullets rained down on the charging Indian infantry. The Indian soldiers immediately threw them down.

Just when Momojiro thought that this charge would be ruthlessly repulsed by heavy machine guns like before, the rumble in the sky started again.

This time? Captain Paabo still flew along the sun. People on the ground wanted to see the airship? They had to face the sun to see it. The vicious sun was his best cover.

Through the telescope, one can clearly see the five Maxim heavy machine guns with their muzzles raised at a 35-degree angle behind the Zhangxi people's position.

A cruel smile appeared on Captain Pabo's lips. The airship began to descend. When the altitude dropped to 1,200 meters, Captain Pabo stabilized the altitude.

"Boys, it's up to you." Captain Pabo shouted to the back.

Six 25mm cannons were set up on both sides of the airship, and the same ammunition belts fed ammunition. However, the power and range were far from what Maxim could match.

The three double-25 rapid-fire cannons on the left began to fire, and powerful shells poured on the Zhangxi people's position. The five Maxim machine gun groups that were shooting with machine guns were immediately hit by the powerful double-25 rapid-fire cannons.

broken pieces.

The tall shooter was shot in the stomach. As a result, his whole body was shot in two? His upper body flew five or six meters away, and his lower body was still stuck under the machine gun.

The Maxim machine gun was hit by two shells? The machine gun magazine was directly exploded. Parts were scattered everywhere. Want to save them again? I'm afraid it's impossible.

Five machine gun groups? Almost the entire army was wiped out.

Captain Pabo put down his telescope and turned to the back and shouted: "Well done, boys!"

The airship quickly twisted its huge body again, and the three cannons on the right were aimed downwards again. Many Zhangxi soldiers below began to fire their guns randomly, but even though the guys in their hands had a theoretical shooting range of one thousand meters.

If you really look up to the sky and fire your gun, you really won't be able to hit the huge thing floating in the sky.

It stands to reason that if Maxim stood up, he might be able to hit him. Unfortunately, Maxim's shooting angle was not enough. Furthermore, Maxim had been smashed into pieces under the first round of firepower. Now it is impossible to continue to cause damage to the airship.

threaten.

The people in Zhangxi watched helplessly as the fire snakes of death were sprayed downwards from the airship. Wherever the fire snakes went, people were beaten into piles of pieces. Double 25 shells plowed the position like a field.

Raging. Like the whip of death, mercilessly beating the fleeing people.

You can't escape by running, you can't reach it by fighting. This is the embarrassing situation faced by the people of Zhangxi.

Too many people died, and the ground was littered with body parts. The people in Zhangxi collapsed quickly. No one could face the scattered corpses and not collapse. The scene was more tragic than that in Zhangxi.

The limit that soldiers can accept.

Soon, the airship stopped strafing the poor Zhangxi soldiers. Captain Pabo found another good target. The soldiers who fled in panic accidentally knocked over the ammunition box of the mortar position.

One of the shells, whose fuse was unscrewed for some unknown reason, was detonated by the firing pin. The explosion attracted Captain Paabo's attention, and the airship swung its huge body and rushed towards the mortar position.

"Dong" "Dong" "Dong" "Dong" "Dong"...!

A series of shells hit the mortar position, immediately causing the ammunition to explode. Double 25 shells, 80mm mortar shells. The explosion of the ammunition exploded loudly, and the Japanese mortar crews had not had time to escape.

It was engulfed in the smoke of the explosion.

Momojiro's head was buzzing, and he turned around to look over. The infantry on the opposite side had already come over, and they were only more than three hundred meters away from the position. After a while, he would be within the shooting range of the Indians. By that time,

It was too late to run away.

"Run!" He was speaking in Japanese, which the Zhangxi people couldn't understand. But Zhangxi was not blind. He saw Momojiro running out of the trench like a rabbit, and then running towards Zhangxi City in a lifeless manner. Even a fool knew what was going on.

Something's going on.

No one wanted to stay behind and die. Many people threw away their guns and ran away. This was not a time for humility.

The Indian soldiers fired their guns behind them as they ran. Unfortunately, the distance was too far. The butts of their guns were not even stable under the intense running.

Only a few unlucky ones were hit, and the others were all running around like rabbits. The Zhangxi people's position had become a mess, and no one could stop the retreat before them.

"Brothers, go save our Zhangxi brothers." Sultan Tipu was riding on horseback, watching thousands of retreating Zhangxi people being hunted down, and immediately drew his saber.

"No! Tip Sultan." Tip Sultan's hand was grabbed.

Sultan Tiep was very angry. No one dared to stop him at this time. Who had eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?

Turning around, I saw that it was Wang Dalong, Luzhu’s assistant who had stayed behind. He was one of the few people from the Ming Dynasty who stayed in Zhangxi!

"If you still want to keep your hands intact, let go." Tiep Sultan glared at Wang Dalong.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, look over there. Those are those black spots! That's the Indian heavy machine gun position. If your cavalry gallops out to charge at this time, it will definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest by the heavy machine gun." Wang Dalong pointed.

There are several black spots hidden behind a mound in the distance.

"Really?" Tipu Sultan looked at those black dots with some suspicion.

Wang Dalong didn't say anything, but just handed over his telescope. In the telescope, Tipu Sultan saw several heavy machine guns spitting out fiery snakes.

His heart couldn't help but twitch. If Wang Dalong hadn't stopped him just now, he might have been shot several times by now. He didn't understand the power of Maxim before, but in the past two days of fighting with the Indians, he finally understood the power of the heavy machine gun.

In front of heavy machine guns, the charging cavalry is just a pile of meat. A pile of meat ready to be slaughtered!

"Then what should I do? Just watch the Zhangxi people being hunted down and kill all the Zhangxi people, and my country will not get better." Although Sultan Tiepu didn't know the idiom of lips dying and teeth cold, he also understood the word.

meaning.

"The woods we are hiding in are an excellent ambush location. You only need to wait another ten minutes before the Zhangxi people will escape the shooting range of the heavy machine gun.

If the Indians want to pursue, they can only move the heavy machine gun position. The heavy machine gun is very heavy and requires four or five people to lift it. You should take advantage of this opportunity to wash away his heavy machine gun position in one fell swoop.

If the Indian heavy machine gun position is attacked, they will definitely return to the army to assist. By that time, you should also destroy the Indian heavy machine gun position. Let's go back to Zhangxi in a circle. Those Zhangxi infantry can still catch up with you.

cavalry?"

Wang Dalong's words made Sultan Tiep's eyes light up. This Ming Dynasty man knew how to fight. Seeing that the defeat was certain, it was a good thing to take advantage of the enemy's vigorous pursuit to destroy the Indian heavy machine gun position.

The Indians returned to reinforce the army, and it was not difficult for them to take a detour and escape with their cavalry. By the way, they also helped Zhang Xi break the siege. It was a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Sultan Tiep took a closer look at Wang Dalong.

This guy is just an ordinary Ming Dynasty man, but he has such a high level of tactical literacy. If he were a real Ming Dynasty officer, how powerful would he be?

From this man, Sultan Tiepu saw the horror of the Ming Dynasty, and secretly made up his mind. In the future, a country like the Ming Dynasty can only be friends, never enemies. This rule must be passed down as a family motto to future generations.

Wang Dalong didn't know it yet, but he had already shocked the mighty Tiep Sultan in India by just using the most basic cavalry tactics learned in the military academy.

"You have a good idea. I will listen to you when to attack." Sultan Tipu put the drawn saber back into the scabbard. With officers like you, the Ming cavalry must be invincible. If you have the chance, you really need to experience it.

The saber of the Ming army.

"Your Majesty the Sultan! The Ming Dynasty cavalry only has one cavalry division, because they have fought with the general for many years, and the general cannot bear to abolish it. The cavalry in this cavalry division no longer use sabers." Wang Dalong did not want to attack Sultan Tiepu, but these days Tiepu

Pusudan took good care of him, and Wang Dalong had to kindly remind him that cavalry was obsolete.

"Cavalry doesn't use sabers?" Tiep Sultan suspected that he had heard wrongly. How can cavalry fight without sabers? Could it be that your rifle fires continuously?

"If the distance is far, they use the Aka rifle. That rifle can hold thirty rounds of bullets and fire continuously. If the distance is close, they also have box guns that can hold twenty rounds of bullets. In some cavalry units, one person has two

A box cannon.

In other words, when charging into battle at a distance of 300 meters, a Ming army soldier has fifty to seventy rounds of ammunition to shoot. After the fifty to seventy rounds of ammunition are used up, there will probably be no one left on the opposite side."

Tipu Sultan's jaw almost dropped to the ground. One person has seventy rounds of ammunition. One hundred people have seven hundred rounds of ammunition? This means that they can fire continuously without reloading by changing the gun.

He also has a box cannon, which is very useful. With a little practice, he can shoot targets within fifty meters without any problem.

He couldn't imagine that a man could carry two box cannons and ride a horse across the desert grassland.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, the Indian machine gun positions have moved." Wang Dalong kept observing the opposite side. Sultan Tiepu did not have a telescope and could only listen to Wang Dalong's words.

In fact, the Indians moved the machine gun position out of fear of a counterattack by the Zhangxi people. Especially since the iron-blooded cavalry of Tiep Sultan has not yet taken action, the heavy machine gun is the best weapon to attack the cavalry. Even a galloping war horse is not at twelve o'clock.

An opponent with seven-millimeter heavy machine gun bullets. If it takes two rounds, the horse will be useless.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, wait until the Indians are closer and farther away from their brigade." Wang Dalong raised his thumb and pointed it at the moving dozen heavy machine guns.

Heavy machine guns are too bulky. Whether it is the Ming Army's Maxim heavy machine gun or the imitation made by the Indians, it requires four people to carry it. If you add two security guards and ammunition handlers, it will be enough

Six people are needed.

Even if it was carried by six people, it was still very difficult. Therefore, the movement speed could not be compared with those guys who threw off their big feet and ran wildly. Slowly, the heavy machine gun company fell behind.

"Your Majesty the Sultan, it's time to attack." Wang Dalong shouted decisively with still a hundred or ten meters away.

Tipu Sultan drew his saber again, and no one would stop him this time. "My warriors, follow me and charge!" Tipu Sultan roared and took the lead in urging his war horses to rush out of the woods.

The cavalry behind them immediately rushed out. In an instant, the sound of horse hooves crushed thousands of weeds.
