Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 570
The infantrymen of the Ming Army who were lurking in the nearby woods saw with their own eyes that shell fell into the crowd of horses, and then there was an unforgettable scene in their lives. The explosion scattered shrapnel and shock waves, blowing up more than a dozen cavalrymen on the spot. Death, this kind of bombing is extremely tragic. The limbs of the Mughal cavalry and horses are flying in the air like a post-modern deconstruction painting, and you can't even tell what part you are seeing. .

These Mughal cavalry did not expect that strange-looking iron bump to be so powerful.None of them had ever seen a tank, and the intimidation and fear brought about by this new weapon was absolutely huge.

"The enemy, where is the enemy?" a cavalryman shouted in fear.

"It's a terrible monster brought by the Ming people from the east! The Ming people are too scary!"

India is still a very religious land. The industrial revolution and scientific knowledge have not widely affected here, so the soldiers are still very superstitious, interpreting such incomprehensible things as demons and ghosts.

Almost without any resistance, these cavalry turned their horses and ran back.

The infantrymen of the Ming Army who were ambushing in the woods regretted for a while.

"Oh, Company Commander Xie should have waited until they were put in before shooting. In this way, he fired a single shot and scared them away. There is no way to wipe them out."

Xie Aman also poked his head out from the top of the tank at this moment, and said, "It's really a group of guys who can't help but clean up."

Zhou Cungang said with a smile: "Do you still expect these cavalry to face our 85mm tank guns and parallel machine guns, rush forward without fear, and accept death calmly?"

Xie Aman grinned wickedly: "Yes, it's all military exploits. A good enemy should be so conscious."

Xie Aman reported the situation of encountering the enemy on his side to the command post through the radio station, and at the same time asked how long it would take for the armored rescue vehicle to arrive.

"It's really troublesome. Another three vehicles from the second detachment have broken down. The rescue vehicle is closer to that side. We still have to get those guys first. The higher-ups told us to continue to stand by here."

Zhou Cungang frowned and said: "The enemy's cavalry has already arrived. Maybe there are large-scale enemy troops nearby. If we really come into contact with large enemy troops, we will still be in trouble."

"The higher-ups should have taken this into consideration. The rear guard will have an infantry battalion moving towards us to cover us. The higher-ups have dispatched several different troops to shrink in our direction. We are considered a salient part. "

Zhou Cungang immediately figured out what the command post was thinking. He said: "The higher ups should be preparing to defeat this Mughal army. We must first find out the actual situation, and then use our power to surround them and destroy them directly."

Xie Aman smiled: "There's nothing wrong with it, it should be done like this."

Over the years, the Ming army has cultivated a lot of excellent talents, from leading troops to fight, to logistics supply, from command and dispatch, to reconnaissance of the enemy, the staff and decision makers in the staff department of the 12th Army can easily Will grasp the opportunity.Although the Ming army did not fight any battles, after all, they have undergone a lot of actual combat training with high intensity, so these reactions are basically subconscious reactions after hundreds of trainings.

Xie Aman led the soldiers to stay at the chariot and waited for rescue. After about seven hours, it was getting late, so they buried the pot to make a meal. Just after dinner, the panicked scout just now coming.

"It's not good, it's not good, the enemy army is coming!"

Xie Aman frowned and said, "Why are you panicking?"

The young scout said anxiously: "There are too many, there are thousands of people! There are large groups of cavalry, even war elephants, and some artillery, at least six cannons."

Xie Aman almost jumped up on the spot.

Zhou Cungang turned around to amuse him, "Didn't you say don't panic?"

Xie Aman said angrily: "There are less than forty of us in total, and there are thousands of people on the other side. We are crucified here, which is very troublesome."

Zhou Cungang glanced at his military watch and said, "Our reinforcements should be coming too. Let's get in touch now, maybe we can help."

Xie Aman calmed down and began to think, "The woodland to the east is a small highland. Although it is not high enough, it can form a little support for our side. It is not easy for the enemy to attack. The most worrying thing is our car. , if the enemy really takes turns attacking our car, it will be very troublesome."

Zhou Cungang asked: "We have too few troops and lack mobility. It is too risky to confront the enemy's large forces head-on. It is almost a mortal situation. Should we consider retreating first?"

The subtext of retreating first is to leave this Type [-] tank here and make it a spoil of war for the Mughal army.

Xie Aman knew that it was impossible for him to throw away this tank to the enemy. Although the Mughals couldn't play with it, Xie Aman was still the first commander in the military history of the Ming Dynasty to abandon the tank and leave.Even if he died fighting the enemy here, Xie Aman was not willing to retreat even one cent.

Even if Xie Aman continues to be promoted in the future, even if he becomes a general, this shame will follow him for the rest of his life.But Xie Aman was still very worried. Daming had always valued the lives of officers and soldiers with the highest value. If he stayed, then he might bet on the lives of his comrades-in-arms, which was also an irresponsible move.

The pressure fell on his shoulders all of a sudden, making him a little short of breath.

The infantry brothers were more bloody. The platoon leader stood up and said loudly: "Commander Xie, let's fight with them! Ming soldiers never shrink back in the face of difficulties. No matter how strong the enemy is, we are not afraid."

Xie Aman gained some confidence, and said to the comrades present: "Okay, brothers, let's fight with them here, we must stick to our positions, our reinforcements should be there soon, as long as we persist until they come over." !"

"Fight it!" The shouts of these Ming soldiers shook the sky.

Xie Aman saw some quite young soldiers trembling slightly because of excitement or fear.He patted the young man and said, "Believe it or not, today is also my first day at war."

The young soldier looked at Xie Aman in astonishment.

Xie Aman rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Really, I have only been in the army for less than ten years, and Daming has not fought in war for many years. So like you, I am also nervous and afraid. But this air Absolutely can't fall, can't embarrass our Ming army, can't embarrass the emperor!"
