super god warlord

During the lecture, the gunshots outside suddenly rang out again. Lieutenant Colonel Soden hurriedly assigned tasks, and asked the ten companies to go to the stronghold to defend first, and the others stayed in the barracks.The Self-Defense Forces still fought and left, and they didn't care much about fighting, but the sentries standing on the top of the watchtower were not spared again.

The harassment tactics specified by Wu Yuzhang were very effective. During the day, the Self-Defense Forces attacked six or seven times in a row, killing dozens of sentries. In the end, no one in the Burmese army was willing to serve as sentries on the top of the watchtower.Lieutenant Colonel Soden beat several people with a whip to no avail. In the end, he had to order the removal of the sentry on the watchtower, and put the sentry in the bunker, observing from the shooting hole. Although the personal safety of the sentry was guaranteed, the Greatly limits the sentinel's field of vision.

Wu Yuzhang dispatched the best sharpshooters among the troops who came in rounds of battle. They wore clothes woven from grass leaves all over their bodies, and even their hats were hung with grass rings. Such clothes were hidden in the primitive jungle, tens of meters away. I can't see clearly.The sharpshooters are well-trained, and the Xiakou-made rifles in their hands are also carefully selected. There is absolutely no ambiguity in the sniping from 400 meters away. In this way, the sentries were sniped one after another, and in the end even the sentry near the lookout was headshot up.

Lieutenant Colonel Soden was really angry. In the current situation, even if he wanted to stick to it, it would be impossible for him to be beaten piecemeal like this. It would only take a week. The rock bottom, so he decided to take a risk.

"Captain Taiwu, take the soldiers of three companies and get ready. Once the opponent's soldiers attack you, you will rush out. Make sure to destroy these damned rebels." Lieutenant Colonel Soden ordered.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, if the opponent escapes, will we pursue it?" Captain Taiwu asked.

"Of course, we must ensure that they are eliminated. There are not many rebels, and they dare not confront you with so many people." Lieutenant Colonel Soden said.

Soon the attack really came again, Captain Tai Wu led three companies of soldiers opened the gate of the village and rushed out without saying a word.It seemed that they sensed that someone was rushing out from the other party. The sharpshooters who attacked did not continue to tease them, but retreated after firing two shots.

These sharpshooters were well-trained. Relying on the favorable terrain, they fired two shots at the pursuers from time to time, luring them all the way to the depths of the rainforest.Wu Yuzhang, who was sitting on a big tree, put down the binoculars in his hand. He smiled and said to Tang Jisheng beside him, "These guys are more timid than I thought. It took so long to send people to chase them."

"Commander Wu, your method of boiling frogs in warm water is really good. We have killed many of them in the past two days." Yu Feipeng beside him laughed.

"The big head is still behind, and now we don't play with boiling frogs in warm water. Let's give him a pot of stew. Since he has sent such a generous gift, it can't be wasted." Wu Yuzhang laughed.

"No problem, these guys can't escape, it's just that there are fewer people and it's not fun." Tang Jisheng said with a smack, obviously dissatisfied with the number of people chasing him.

"Yo ho, it seems that Old Tang has a big appetite." Yu Feipeng joked.

"Stop chatting here, and immediately notify the troops to prepare. This first big battle must be fought well." Wu Yuzhang said.

"Okay, none of them can escape." Yu Feipeng quickly slid down the tree and headed for the ambush area.Tang Jisheng also said hello and went to take control of his own team.

Chapter 132 Disguise and break the city

Captain Taiwu’s subordinates are all locals, and they walked through the rainforest effortlessly. In a blink of an eye, they saw a looming figure in front of them. However, the Burmese army’s shooting training is very poor, and they can fly when they set up a fixed target. The probability of hitting a moving target while running is estimated to be no higher than the probability of winning a jackpot when buying a lottery ticket.

"Follow up, follow up quickly, don't let those rebels run away." Captain Taiwu waved his pistol and tried his best to cheer up the soldiers: "Catch a rebel and reward twenty catties of rice, catch a rebel leader and reward One hundred catties."

Hearing that there was food for the rebels, the morale of these Burmese soldiers was high. In order to run faster and catch the rebels, they even stopped shooting, and some of them put their rifles back on their backs.

These unaware Burmese soldiers plunged into the ambush circle. Following Wu Yuzhang's order, thousands of rifles fired in salvo, hitting leaves in the forest, and unprepared Burmese soldiers fell to the ground one after another.Realizing that they had encountered an ambush, the Burmese soldiers took off their guns from their backs, and then pulled the bolts to shoot. Such a series of actions required a long time, but they just didn't have such a long time to prepare.

Dense bullets shot at each other, shooting down the Burmese soldiers one after another, and the survivors quickly hid behind the big tree and continued to resist.Seeing that the other party shrank behind the tree, some soldiers threw away their rifles, pulled out the Mauser pistols on their waists, and rushed forward.

The Mauser pistols of this era are still fed by bridge clips and have no continuous firing capability, but they can fire ten rounds of ammunition semi-automatically at a time. In this era, it is already a rare rapid-fire firepower.I saw these soldiers waving their pistols and approaching, shooting indiscriminately at the Burmese soldiers.

There are many trees in the rainforest, and the Martini Henry rifles used by Burmese soldiers are too long. It is difficult to turn the gun body once there is a situation. As a result, they have no resistance in close encounters. Army soldiers were wiped out in a short period of time, and even Captain Taiwu was not spared.

"Hurry up, clean up the battlefield and start the second phase of the battle." Wu Yuzhang urged the soldiers, their time was urgent and there was no room for waste.Hundreds of soldiers began to search the battlefield, looking for relatively good military uniforms from the dead bodies, and put them on themselves. Then they hid the Mauser pistols in their waists, and replaced them with Martini-Henry rifles. He walked towards Dongzhi with one foot.

Wu Yuzhang left Long Yun with two companies here to continue cleaning the battlefield, and then he followed with thousands of people.

Lieutenant Colonel Soden was running back and forth in a watchtower in a hurry. It was a bit risky for him to send troops to pursue him, but it was necessary to boost morale.He was full of confidence just now when Captain Taiwu took people to chase him out, but the gunshot just now reminded him that the people he sent were already in danger.

That burst of gunfire was too dense, at least a thousand or eight hundred rifles fired at the same time, and Captain Taiwu only brought 300 people, so it was obvious that they were ambushed.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, our people are back." A sentry who was always on the lookout suddenly called.

Lieutenant Colonel Soden was refreshed, and he rushed to the place where the sentry was, and looked out through the narrow shooting hole.About a hundred soldiers in Burmese military uniforms were running back. Some of them were disheveled and some even lost their hats. Some were holding rifles, some were dragging them, and they ran towards Taunggyi yelling all the way. .A thousand meters behind them, a well-disciplined troop is forming a battle formation, and is quickly chasing after them.

Lieutenant Colonel Soden gasped. In his consciousness, the rebels were just a group of mobs. He didn't expect that what he saw with his own eyes today was so well-trained. "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly." Among the Burmese soldiers running back, someone shouted loudly in Burmese, with a very urgent voice.

"Quickly open the door and let people in. Everyone immediately go to the watchtower to stop the pursuers." Lieutenant Colonel Soden gave the order, and the whole of Taunggyi became lively, and the streets were full of people running to the battle position. Soldiers, there is no order in the chaos.

The low quality of the Burmese army is obvious. Most of them have not yet entered their positions. The group of "defeated soldiers" has already arrived at the gate of the village. After receiving the order from Lieutenant Colonel Sodden, the gatekeepers immediately opened the gate to welcome the defeated soldiers. .

"The enemy is so powerful that you have been beaten down to such a small number of people." The guard guarding the gate saw that more than 300 people went out, and less than a hundred returned, and couldn't help saying.

"There are even more powerful ones. The rebel army has already entered Dongzhi City." A 'defeated soldier' ​​stopped and said to the soldiers guarding the gate.

"What?" The gatekeeper was taken aback for a moment, and then found a black muzzle pointing at him. The 'defeated soldier' ​​held a Mauser pistol in his hand, and smiled at the man, "How is it? I said he has already entered the city."

"Ah, you are a rebel." The gatekeeper exclaimed, but it was unnecessary for him to warn, because the 'defeated soldier' ​​had already reported the letter with the gunfire that killed him.

Lieutenant Colonel Soden's heart sank when he heard the gunshots at the city gate, and he immediately knew that the situation was not good. "The third company comes with me and block the enemy's access to the city." Lieutenant Colonel Soden waved his hand and led a large group of Burmese soldiers towards the gate of the village. He knew very well that if he could not take back the gate, he would Will be doomed.

A large group of Burmese soldiers with Martini-Henry rifles ran down the watchtower and rushed towards the gate of the village, but what greeted them was extremely dense bullets.The Martini Henry was designed by Henry Peabody, the legendary Massachusetts gunsmith in White Eagle Country, who patented the breech-loading rifle in 1862 and developed the famous rifle.

In 1867, the Saar Army selected it. Since then, this lever-action, tubular magazine rifle has entered the sequence of the Saar Royal Army.The Martini Henry rifle adopts a lifting bolt, which can be automatically ejected when the bolt is lowered, and then the next bullet is quickly loaded into the chamber, so its actual rate of fire has been greatly improved.

It is precisely because of the high rate of fire of the Martini Henry rifle that it has been favored by many countries. It has been equipped with the Red Clothes Country, the North Snow Country, the Ottoman Empire, Ronia, New Garland and Menasi.

However, this rifle also has a lot of defects. The main problem is that its bullets are rolled from thin copper skin. When continuous shooting causes the barrel to overheat, the copper skin is easy to stick to the barrel, making the rifle unusable.It has a large recoil, the barrel is prone to overheating when firing continuously, and the bayonet is also very heavy.In addition, the common problem of tubular magazines is that they can only use round-headed pistol bullets, which greatly limits the power of the rifle.

Chapter 133 Xiliang's Letter

Based on these defects, after 1890, the British Royal Army switched to more advanced Phil rifles. Naturally, these obsolete old guns could not be wasted, and they were successfully equipped with colonial servants.At this time, the two sides met on the street, and the pros and cons of the weapons immediately became apparent.

Martini-Henry rifles lack the long range that ordinary rifles should have due to the short pistol cartridges used.The Mauser pistol, which also uses pistol ammunition and has an effective range of about 200 meters, has a ten-round magazine loaded in a bridge clip. It has the characteristics of fast firing rate, semi-automatic shooting, and short and flexible gun body. As a result, the two sides met , the Burmese army was shot down.

I heard that the Zhaimen was captured, and the Burmese army in Dongzhi City became even more chaotic. They were scattered on the street, and the soldiers could not find officers, and the officers could not find soldiers. The army completely lost its organizational structure.The unorganized army was not much different from a flock of sheep. The soldiers guarding the gate of the village used their Mauser pistols to form a rain of bullets to block Lieutenant Colonel Soden's counterattack. The follow-up troops arrived after a short time.

The soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces who rushed over quickly took control of the gate of the village. When two Mark machine guns were placed on the street, Lieutenant Colonel Soden's face was completely pale, and he knew that the defeat was over.The sound of violent machine gun shooting broke through the sky and echoed for a long time on the streets of Taunggyi. A large number of Burmese soldiers who had charged bravely just now turned into corpses in an instant. As the self-defense troops surrounded from all directions took control of the gates and watchtowers, the Burmese soldiers in the city The army had lost the will to resist, and under the threat of machine guns, they all raised their hands and surrendered.

The news that Taunggyi was captured and all [-] Burmese troops were wiped out was quickly transmitted to Yangon, and then sent to Zhaini by a communication ship.Upon receiving the news, the Governor-General stationed in Zhaini was shocked, and immediately ordered the Burmese army to gather heavy troops to attack, and must destroy the Self-Defense Forces in the shortest possible time and regain control of northern Burma.

The Kokang Self-Defense Forces became famous in the first battle. After conquering Taunggyi, they established a lofty prestige among the ethnic minorities.Seeing the dawn of victory, those ethnic groups who could not bear the oppression united together and approached the Kokang people. Suddenly, the Kokang people became the natural leaders supported by all ethnic groups.

Taking advantage of the spring breeze of conquering Taunggyi, Yang Guozheng cooperated with Wu Yuzhang to establish his own local regime in northern Myanmar, and at the same time expanded and trained the self-defense army.With the rifles seized from the Burmese Army, the new Self-Defense Forces have temporarily no concerns about lack of weapons and ammunition, and the military expansion operation has begun rapidly.

"My lord, the governor of Xiliang has sent you a letter." Just as the Kokang Self-Defense Forces were marching forward to expand their territory, Zhao Shouhong received a letter from Xiliang.

"Bring it here and let me have a look." Zhao Shouhong was very surprised by the sudden letter from the governor.Because Governor Nakagawa is very busy, but he focuses too much on the impoverished areas in western Sichuan, so he never wrote to him.

Zhao Shouhong took the letter and read it again before he knew what was going on: "I can't carry out this research work. It seems that I have to rely on those half-baked apprentices and biochemical engineers."

It turned out that Xiliang was about to be transferred to the governor of Jiaogui, and Zhao Shouhong's second grandfather, Zhao Erxun, was about to take over as the governor of Zhongchuan. Out of courtesy, Xiliang sent a letter inviting Zhao Shouhong to Shudu to welcome Zhao Erxun.

This kind of thing has to be done even for the sake of the reputation of filial piety. Naturally, Zhao Shouhong's experiment cannot continue.Fortunately, everything he needs in the near future has been designed. As long as the factory slowly explores, the output will gradually increase, and he can also have a period of leisure time.

Zhao Shouhong borrowed his own chip information before and used the backup biochemicals to create a few electrical engineers who have been working with him, and this time it happened to come in handy.Although these people have no creative ability, it is okay to solve problems in production.With their existence, the electric appliance factory can at least operate normally, producing various products he designed before.

After distributing all the work, Zhao Shouhong took the guard company and some special forces members with him, and the group headed for the capital of Shu in a mighty way. Besides negotiating, he also wanted to see if the factories Sun Xize had opened in the outskirts of the Shu capital were operating normally.

Zhao Shouhong was invited to Shudu, where he will attend the succession ceremony of Xiliang and Zhao Erxun as governors.As Zhongchuan's envoy, Zhao Shouhong already has the status to participate in such standard ceremonies, and since he is Zhao Erxun's nephew, his status is naturally higher.

"Hehe, brother Erxun is coming to be the governor of Zhongchuan this time, your future is bright." Taking advantage of the time before Zhao Erxun arrived, Chuo Habu, the general of Shudu, approached Zhao Shouhong, and Zhao Erxun would be Zhao Shouhong in the future. Xun's subordinate, he naturally wants to build a good relationship with Zhao Shouhong.

"How is it possible? I'm just a student envoy. Even if my uncle becomes the governor, it doesn't have much to do with me." Zhao Shouhong was naturally humble.

"Why not, at least I will fully support you in running a school. I heard that you have started to build middle schools and primary schools in all counties of Sichuan to teach the knowledge of the Western Continent. This is not insignificant." Admiral Ma Weiqi was also beside him, holding back Can't stop interrupting.
