The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Chapter 136: War Stalemate

With the assistance of the two naval officers, the landing navy launched an effective counterattack, successfully forcing the Red Flag Army in the bunker to give up some of its firepower points. For a moment, the previously terrifying firepower density finally decreased.

This also restored the morale of the attacking navy. Encouraged by the two officers, the navy soldiers launched an attack on the bunker again.

In the eyes of the naval soldiers, the enemy has been suppressed by their firepower to a few firepower points. As long as they make more efforts, the enemies in the bunkers will surely collapse first.

In this extremely rare opportunity, the naval officers also took the initiative to clear the way for the soldiers. Now the enemy only had a few firepower points left, and they could completely help the soldiers resist and boost morale. As long as they could take the opportunity to attack the bunker, they could win the war.

"Charge." Following the commander's order, some naval soldiers put down their guns and drew their swords instead.

As for why there are no bayonets, the same thing applies again. Bayonets are weapons that can only be used in large-scale combat. In the navy's normal combat, there is no need to use such weapons at all. It is better to have a knife on the sea. Therefore, naval soldiers usually have two weapons, a flintlock rifle and a saber.

The navy soldiers holding swords quickly assembled and charged towards the bunker in formation, which really looked like the real deal. In previous battles, this kind of elementary group charge could really crush the scattered pirates.

The other navy officers were not idle either, and they all fired their flintlock rifles to cover the charging navy. The two officers did the same, and they blocked the fire from the bunkers on the flanks. Under the cover of all the navy officers, the charging navy quickly approached the bunker.

It must be said that the physical fitness of the people in the One Piece world is indeed relatively strong. The charging navy crossed a flat ground at a very fast speed and approached the earth slope in front. The fastest person among them could already see some small holes on the bunker used to arrange firing points. The enemy troops in the bunker also relied on these small holes to continuously shoot outward.

"Closer, closer. If we just push forward a little bit, we can break through this earth wall." The navy man at the front thought. At this time, he saw that the muzzle of the gun that was firing at the firing point had also retracted.

"Hmm? Oh, it should be the enemies inside who are about to run away. No, I have to go faster and can't let them run away." The navy thought in his heart and quickened his pace.

The other marines were no exception, they all seemed to see victory was within reach, so they sped up. Only two officers were relatively steady, still resisting the increasingly sparse bullets, apparently wanting to hold on until the last moment.

What was the situation inside the bunker? Things were different from what the navy thought. The Red Flag Army soldiers did not collapse, but were eager to use their secret weapons. The sturdy tripod was stuck in the ground, and this strange-looking weapon actually required several people to operate at the same time.

"Let them in first and then fight. We have dug a trench in front. It is right facing our firepower point. That will be the best time to attack." The oldest veteran reminded some of the new recruits.

At the veteran's reminder, all the soldiers silently clasped their hands tightly around the new weapon. And the weapons in their hands will soon make their debut in the One Piece world.

"Here they come, here they come." The veteran of the Red Flag Army said excitedly. As expected, when the charging navy was about to rush to the bunker, they were surprised to find that there was a deep ditch in front of the bunker. It was just that because of the perspective, people directly ignored them.

At one point, the sailors who charged too hard fell into the trenches one after another, and the sailors behind them saw a ditch and had no choice but to jump in. After all, they had already rushed here, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

This is a trench that is 4 meters deep, and on the other side of the trench is a dirt slope that is nearly 8 meters high when viewed from the bottom. The Marines had no choice but to jump down the trench and prepare to climb up. But what they didn't know was that they had already jumped into the trap of the god of death.

There were several slightly protruding parts on that bunker. From that angle, the entire trench could be seen from the side. And here was the bunker set up by the Red Flag Army, and this was exactly the opportunity the Red Flag Army was waiting for. With the order to "fire", the Grim Reaper's scythe was about to swing.

The sudden flames interrupted the rhythm of the attacking navy, and tens of thousands of bullets were fired in an instant. Facing the sudden attack, the navy had almost no power to fight back. With such a strong firing rate, it seemed as if tens of thousands of people were shooting at the same time. The bodies of the navy began to pile up at the bottom of the trench at a very fast speed.

What was even more despairing was that these marines had no place to escape. Their swords slashed at the thick concrete without stirring up any dust. And if they wanted to escape from the trench, they could not escape the fierce flames. All the marines could only be slaughtered in this small area like lambs to be slaughtered.

The sudden scream also attracted the attention of the two commanders. So the two naval officers were eager to rescue the marines who fell into the trap, and they soon understood why the marines who were just advancing triumphantly screamed.

After observing that the two naval commanders wanted to take action, all the new weapons opened fire, and the firepower was now more than ten times that of the previous one. Even the naval forces covering the rear were knocked down. In this case, the naval officers also stopped their actions and supported the nearby marines first.

However, they soon stopped worrying. The fierce shooting lasted for a quarter of an hour and then stopped. The trenches that had been screaming just now were now silent.

From the perspective of the Red Flag Army, after firing several rounds of bullets, as the smoke cleared, all that came into view was a mess. The Marines were stacked up in layers at the bottom of the trench. Except for a few groans, there was no one alive.

This kind of scene made even the veterans of the Red Flag Army who had experienced the most battles shudder. The soldiers who had just been operating their weapons now looked at the cooling weapons in their hands as if they were looking at the sickle of the god of death.

On the other side, "Damn, what kind of weapon is that?" The naval officers cursed as they struggled to resist the fierce shooting. Now they could not take care of all the firepower.

The situation seemed to have returned to the starting point, and the marines were once again suppressed and unable to raise their heads. And this time it was even more thorough, the marines couldn't even dodge, and people died in the rain of bullets every moment.

"Retreat, retreat quickly." Seeing that this attack was hopeless, the two naval officers had no choice but to retreat. Just like that, after leaving dozens of bodies behind, the marines retreated to the starting point.

After this round of conflict, the navy had lost as much as one-third of its personnel. In other words, they could no longer launch a new round of attacks on their own.

Seeing the navy being completely repelled, the Red Flag Army in the bunker breathed a sigh of relief. They also took this opportunity to quickly cool down the weapons in their hands, which were their important trump cards.

"Why is this thing called the Maxim machine gun? Wasn't it invented by Marx and Engels?" asked a Red Flag Army soldier.

"Maybe, but compared to this, I think the name 'Widowmaker' is more suitable for it. Get ready, the enemy's next wave of attack will definitely be more fierce." The veteran replied.
