Iron Dynasty

Chen Wei stuck his head out and glanced at the ditch that was deeper than his height. When the soldier with red eyes was about to jump down, he suddenly made a stop gesture.

After getting the order, the soldiers immediately lay down in front of the first row of trenches, waiting for the next order.

Company commander, why did you stop? A squad leader approached.

Chen Wei looked at the criss-crossing trenches and said, These Dutch people are acting so strange, I'm worried that this is their trap. Look at this trench, if we jump down, we won't be able to get back up. Even the Dutch people are prepared. You need a stool to stick your head out of the trench.

Indeed, if we go down here, we will definitely be captured alive. It was said that the Dutch tried to snatch our Han-style rifles and Changping machine guns from us when we were in Geranja City. They didn't succeed last time, and they will definitely not give up this time.

Chen Wei nodded, they were only tentatively attacking, and it would be death to go down the trench with the strength of this company alone.

Thinking of this, he said: You continue to guard, I will go back and ask for instructions.

After all, Chen Wei ran all the way to Liu Chen with a short waist, and explained the situation ahead and his own thoughts.

Liu Chen already had doubts in his mind when he went ashore, so he sent Chen Wei to try it out. In his opinion, it was not normal for the Dutch to fight them with great fanfare here, because there is no one in European countries more than the Netherlands. Learn about the current empire.

Especially Eric, he is very clear that with the current power of the Chinese Empire, all the Dutch military power in the Southeast Asia can be easily destroyed.

According to normal thinking, the Dutch should now load up the wealth plundered in the colony and escape.

But now they are doing the opposite, and they must have a plan.

Stupid, do they think we are going to attack from the front? Liu Chen sneered, he said: The first group feigns a frontal attack, the second group, the third group, the fourth group, and the fifth group flank around, give them to me Make dumplings.

As ordered!

After receiving the order, the Marine Corps took action immediately. The soldiers in Chen Wei's regiment immediately moved forward, and at the same time used grenades and machine guns to straf the trenches, posing as a strong attack.

The other soldiers of the Marine Corps bypassed the trench, ready to detour around.

The actions of the imperial soldiers were seen by Eric and Simon, and their hearts sank at the same time. Only at this time did they realize that the army of the Chinese Empire was not the unruly indigenous army.

In fact, the generals of the Chinese Empire were more nimble than they were on the battlefield.

Oops, they're going to trap us here. Eric said solemnly.

Simon said; The fools know what they are doing, there is no other choice, and now we must attack.

No, then we will pay heavy casualties, and you can see the weapons they can fire continuously. Eric argued: Retreat to Yaqda, then go to India, the coalition forces are waiting for us in Calcutta, they have Cavalry, as well as field artillery, can at least fight the Chinese Empire.

Simon didn't listen to Eric's advice at all, because in his opinion, Eric did not produce satisfactory results.

He said, I am the consul of Manila, and now I order you to attack!

As he spoke, Simon shouted at the officers.

On Simon's order, the officers went out of the temporary command post in the trench, and they returned to their ranks, and the Dutch officers, who led the native army, attacked first.

Each of these indigenous soldiers held a bench and stepped on the bench. They successfully climbed up the ditch and used conscript rifles to shoot at the frontal attacking Imperial soldiers.

In an instant, gunfire erupted throughout the battlefield, and the bullets of the Dutch army flew towards the imperial soldiers like raindrops.

Facing the attacking Dutch army, the imperial soldiers all fell on the ground to shoot. The breech-loading characteristics of the Han-style rifle made this posture hinder them from shooting at all.

The Dutch soldiers were different. The expedition rifles they took had long barrels. After tearing the paper shell bullets, they poured them into the barrels and had to stand up and use a tamping strip.

In such a gap, the indigenous soldiers trained in the Netherlands became living targets of machine guns.

Da da da……

The flames of the machine guns returned fire to the native Dutch soldiers who climbed up the ditch, and the native soldiers continued to fall in the dense rain of bullets.

The first group of indigenous soldiers to climb up quickly all fell under the muzzle of the machine gun.

Simon and Eric saw this scene, and they became more and more afraid of the machine gun, because they knew that there was no way to fight the machine gun now.

Although the first wave of attacks failed, Simon was not reconciled. In his opinion, the lives of these natives were worthless, so he shouted; What are you still doing, all the natives are rushing up, who can take it? Come back with a Chinese-style rifle, and I'll give him a hundred gold bars!

Under the heavy reward, the native soldiers who were a little scared climbed up the ditch screaming, but they found that the firepower they faced this time was even more ferocious.

It turned out that after discovering that the Dutch soldiers might break out of the siege, Liu Chen immediately dispatched another regiment's reserve team to reinforce the first regiment, which greatly increased the firepower of the first regiment.

Da da da……

The machine-gun fire intensified, and the native soldiers soon suffered the same defeat as they did.

The more than 3,000 indigenous soldiers who remained under the bombing died under the muzzle of the machine gun in the blink of an eye, and Simon could no longer remain calm.

Fear began to spread in his heart, and he shouted: Let's all retreat now!

The Dutch soldiers were so frightened that they followed Simon and fled to Manila City immediately.

In the Pasig River that surrounds Manila City, there are Dutch armed merchant ships that are prepared in advance. As long as they board the merchant ships, they can escape the siege of the enemy along the Pasig River and enter the ocean.

The rout was unstoppable from the very beginning, and the remaining soldiers in the trenches scrambled to flee towards Manila City.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chen immediately ordered to chase.

One ran, the other chased, and the imperial soldiers in dark green uniforms drove the Dutch soldiers in khaki uniforms into the city like ducks.

During the pursuit, the soldiers of the Empire stopped firing from time to time, and Dutch soldiers kept falling.

Eric frowned, and he looked back at the skilled imperial soldier, thinking about how to restrain the easy-to-load firearm of the imperial soldier.

While he was thinking, the figure of Ba Shihe appeared in front of them, but the soldiers of the empire were also getting closer.

Looking at the obstacles set up in advance in front of the Basque River, Eric suddenly thought of something, and he said, Simon, we must hinder their attack to be able to board the ship smoothly.

Having said that, he immediately led a group of Dutch soldiers to hide behind the obstacles, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to stand in three rows, the first group of soldiers was responsible for shooting, and the soldiers in the second and third rows were responsible for loading ammunition.

Whenever the soldiers in the first row shoot, the soldiers in the second row will hand over their firearms, the soldiers in the third row will give their firearms to the second row, and the second row will give their empty guns to the third row. filling.

I'm so confused, why did I only remember the fire hedgehog shooting method now. Eric murmured.

PS: There are a lot of things today, I will make up for it tomorrow.
