Chapter 136 Hall M1819's Debut
Apache led the Second Battalion and captured a town with a population of more than 6,000 in just two hours. Basically, no civilians reacted and fled. With thousands of people in existence, Apache was able to arrange it next. In this world, whoever does not regard pounds as money is the company. There is a printing assembly line, and you can print as much as you want. All the middle-aged men were temporarily hired to help the army build fortifications, and they also had three meals a day for one pound. For most civilians in the town, it was a good thing that they would never dream of.
Relying on the next morning of two thousand civilian men, the town's fortifications were restored and strengthened. Xiao Lin, who was in charge behind, was also inspired by Apache's actions, allowing each battalion to take the same measures. After three consecutive days, the fortifications were enough to deal with the first wave of reinforcements from the British. There will definitely be reinforcements coming later, and the scale and elite level will increase greatly. However, there will be more time later, and more solid fortifications can be built.
Especially with machine guns, it is possible to build a defensive weapon that is unimaginable in this era, machine gun bunkers. Even if the firepower is lacking due to the small number of machine guns, there is no rear-mounted heavy artillery, no wooden grenade, no tank flamethrower, etc. weapons that can cause damage to the bunker, the British had no choice but to use it. Xiao Lin also fired a fierce attack this time, and he had all transferred out thirty rotary machine guns, and one battalion divided into three, but in order to prevent large-scale damage, the soldiers should try not to use it.
The company's escort has completed the battle, and ten British settlements have been captured. What remains are naturally the affairs of the Charles family and the Trader Tribe. The five targets left for them are not big targets. The largest settlement is only 3,000 people, and the militia is only about 500. The Trader Tribe and the Charles family's army have been strengthened by Xiao Lin. The infantry firepower has been replaced by Hall M1819 type rear-mounted rifles, and the artillery is also the heavy punches and front-mounted rifled cannons that the company eliminated.
More importantly, the advanced training experience of some company guards has been absorbed, which has allowed their army to undergo a qualitative transformation. This battle is extremely important to both forces, and it is even related to whether the two major forces can continue to exist. As long as these five settlements are captured, defensive fortifications are built, and the British counterattack are blocked, they can officially join the Yanhuang Trading Company. Although the military treatment cannot be the same as the guard soldiers, at least there will be no shortage of other weapons except for weapons.
In fact, Alger and Quilder didn't know that Xiao Lin said that these were all deceived them. These five white settlements were not crucial defense nodes in Xiao Lin's plan at all. Even in Xiao Lin's original plan, there was no such settlement at all. However, because the guards were close to the guards to capture a settlement, the Charles family and the trader tribe suddenly said that they would join the company completely. In order to take the strength of the two forces in the postgraduate entrance examination, Xiao Lin placed these five settlements into the attack target.
Xiao Lin always felt that the company could not give people the impression of a trash can, and that no cat or dog could think that they were the talents needed by the company, and thus caused more trouble. He dared not, Alger and Quilder were both very sure. The Charles family had a total of two thousand private soldiers, and originally only had one thousand. During this period, it was only through trade with the Yanhuang Trading Company that another thousand people were formed. The members were all the descendants of the family's servants and British military soldiers who had been in charge of them for a long time. The loyalty was enough to guarantee.
Therefore, the three largest settlements were left to the Charles family for attack. The two weakest settlements were naturally the dishes of the Quelder family. Alger personally led the troops, and then Charlie's order to easily enter the three settlements, and even brought the five hundred war gods of war from the trader tribe in an unknown way, lurking in the hidden terrain outside the target. It was also at 8:30 in the evening, and at the time everyone agreed, they also took action.
After all, the trader tribe has been receiving culture for a long time and has long since changed the bad habits of the Indians. Therefore, under Xiao Lin's notice, they used a similar method to the guards. Their target was too weak, not even a wooden wall, and only a circle of simple wooden fences surrounded the houses. The Indians were also experts in disguise in the dark forest. Naturally, during the preparation stage, they were not discovered by the enemy in a total of fifteen heavy punches and one type of artillery. The settlements with many enemies were divided into nine gates, and the other target was only six gates. Five hundred warriors were also divided into three hundred and two hundred teams.
After the fire was opened with a heavy punch, the wooden fence naturally fell down and the soldiers rushed up. The Charles family became simpler. Although under Charles' order, the militiamen were a little cautious about the people of the Charles family, they were not very big. Alger spent a lot of money and took out all kinds of delicious canned foods and bread and snacks from the shelf life factory that they bought from the company, and prepared a very sumptuous Christmas meal with roast goose made by the company's spices.
Using this as an excuse, all the leaders were invited. When did people in these small places see so many luxurious foods, they naturally put aside their guard and happily took their family to the Charles family camp to enjoy a big meal. Alger was not a bloodthirsty person and did not kill them. Instead, they put a large dose of sleeping pills in their food. In the 21st century, there were low-side effects sleeping pills in the pharmacies outside. With Xiao Lin's power, it was naturally very easy to buy some sleeping pills.
People in the 18th century had basically no drug resistance, and these sleeping pills were so effective that they were explosive. These captives tied together showed no sign of awakening even if they were shot with heavy punches and artillery. Without command, the militia were even more vulnerable. The private soldiers of the Charles family were much better than those of the trader tribe. The soldiers were more disciplined, more deeply explored new tactics, and more proficient in new weapons.
The Hall M1819 rear-mounted rifle was originally designed by the Americans for their white army. The Americans were basically formed by white people who were mostly immigrants in the UK. The physical characteristics of the soldiers were exactly the same as those of the Charles family. Whether it was length or recoil, they were completely within the most suitable range for white soldiers to use. The company's craftsmanship made the rifle style more refined and sturdy than the original American arsenal production in history.
The soldiers remember the shooting script. First, they took out a bullet, moved the bullet, stuffed it in, put it back, aimed at the enemy, and pulled the trigger. The shooting sound was completely different from the front-loaded musket, and the enemy fell down. Before they died, these enemies were still compacting the gunpowder in the front-loaded gun chamber. Although the Hall m1819 is the most trashy existence among the rear-loaded guns, the shooting steps are several more than the bolt rifle, but the time can still be compressed by skilled warriors to within five seconds. At this time, the musketeer who used the front-loaded gun to compact the gunpowder.
One step ahead can lead step by step, let alone twice as long as the first one. Even if they don’t have Type 56 submachine guns, Type 17 pistols, and Light machine guns and heavy machine guns. However, they still beat the enemy without any power to fight back with the power of the Hall m1819 rifle. The barrel made of steel made of late 20th century craftsmanship is enough to withstand more than 5,000 shootings. The stability is not comparable to the front-loaded musket. The front-loaded musket is afraid that the gunpowder will be filled with more than 1,000 blows. This problem does not exist at all.
Alger's eldest son, the deputy commander of the army, was completely shocked when he saw this scene. Originally, he thought that Xiao Lin was too good at being a human being, and he had eaten his two sisters, and sold them weapons that were behind the equipment of his army, and even suspected that the power of such rifles was astonishingly good. In order to keep it confidential, no shooting test was conducted at that time, but he did not expect that the actual combat would be astonishingly good. The huge generation difference of weapons made both sides not at the same level at all.
Even the yellow gunpowder grenade was not used, and the number of people was not much different, retreating step by step in front of the private soldiers of the Charles family. Even after an hour of fighting, the only wounded soldiers of the Charles family were just unwilling to mention something falling or spraining ankle during the pursuit. Toss stood there blankly, surprised by the scene of money.
"What? Are you scared?"
"Father, I just didn't expect that after changing to a new weapon, our family's private soldiers could be so powerful."
"Haha, now, you have no objection to my choice."
"Yes, father, you are wise. Just these weapons that are backward compared to the company can form such powerful combat power. I even wonder how powerful it can be if it is the weapon used by the company's guards."
"Don't worry, you will see it. Xiao Lin is your brother-in-law, I am old, and your younger brothers are a bit of business talent. The family will be handed over to you in the future, and there are opportunities to lead the army. However, you have to adjust your attitude. After all, don't be too presumptuous in the future."
"Don't worry, I know all this."
"Okay, let's go, strengthen the attack and resolve the battle within one hour. Your brother-in-law has already heard from him, and they have all resolved the battle."
Chapter completed!
