Chapter 261 Street Fighting (1)
The battle entered a tragic street fighting stage twenty minutes after the beginning. Lin Man and the other two had already confirmed that they could not beat the Yanhuang Trading Company's army in the open area, and the city wall defense war would only attract heavy artillery bombardment. They tried their best to find a suitable way to fight the company's troops. Because Xiao Lin had always demanded that the company's troops had never pointed their guns at innocent civilians. In their opinion, this was still a disadvantage.
Indeed, these nobles who have not yet completely separated from the influence of the dark medieval times, the first capitalists of this era were the black hearts of drinking human blood and eating human flesh. In their opinion, the lower-class civilians were no different from animals, just tools to create wealth for them. They naturally could not give up when they were fine, but when they had to give up, they would not have any thoughts of giving up. The company was so good to tools and animals, even when they were not a company.
The white people in Europe are also miserable. The long-term religious rule has made them rarely have the idea of resisting. Even if they get miserable, they will live a life of mediocrity. However, there were several heroes of resistance, such as Wallace, who killed all his lovers and wanted to kill him. In the past few thousand years, there have been only a handful of people rebelling in the civilian world of Europe. Unlike mainland China, when it comes to Chinese people, they are docile, but the word "hero" has long been integrated into the blood of every real Chinese.
You can take his life and seize his property, but if you want to humiliate him and make him live worse than a pig or a dog, he will fight you desperately. A man is angry and blood splashes for five steps, which is not just empty talk. However, in the 20th century, there were too many gentle and scum who betrayed the country and insisted on making a dog for others. These topics are not talked about for the time being. Lin Man and the other two had already given instructions to the generals below. If the company's army came in, they would immediately organize people to disperse the entire city to fight guerrilla warfare with the company's soldiers.
Although Hall m1819 and the others had only six thousand intact shots and only sixty thousand bullets left, they were only sixty thousand bullets, but they were enough to form a street combat squad as vanguards. Their move was really good. Seeing that the soldiers attacked Boston, the artillery soldiers had ceased fire one after another. If they continued to shoot, they might accidentally hurt their friendly forces. Of course, Xiao Lin did not ask them to start resting directly, but was on guard at any time. If there was any problem with the battle in Boston City, they would fire again.
Xiao Lin was weak before and had too few subordinates, so he could only try his best to win people's hearts. Later, because of the lack of money, most of the funds needed to be brought to the 21st century for the final purchase. He did not want artillery to turn the town into ruins. The repair fee and the resettlement fee of people were not a small amount. Now, since he already knew that the British had gathered 80,000 troops to rush here, he had no time. Boston had to completely capture it within three days, and then immediately began to build defensive facilities to turn the entire Boston into a grave for British reinforcements.
At this time, there is no need to hold back. Those civilians are not very willing to join the company. They are smart people who know that the company unifies the North American continent without stopping. At this time, the civilians who remained in Boston are all stubborn and hard religious figures and people with white supremacy. Although these civilians can be transformed, they will disappear when they reach this point. Sometimes white people may not be easy to use.
This was something Lin Man and the other two did not expect. They thought that using civilians as shields would make the company's soldiers very afraid and give them an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, Xiao Lin had already issued an order, and it was the top priority to clear out the remaining enemies as soon as possible to protect himself. Any enemy, no matter what he had in front of him, as long as he was facing you with a weapon, no matter whether it was a soldier or a civilian, would directly shoot and kill him. Some soldiers were still a little reluctant, but the veterans of the field brigade had already been tempered.
When those who had cleared out hostile Indian tribes, some of them often dared to attack them with weapons, causing many soldiers to be injured, and some even had to retire due to disability. These people were able to make up their minds. After receiving Xiao Lin's order, they naturally dared to act boldly. Not long after rushing into the city gate, a ball of marbles shot out from the two houses next to them. Several recruits from the field brigade who rushed too fast were knocked to the ground, but fortunately, they were not fatal injuries. Several veterans bent over and quietly came to the window of the house and threw five grenades in a row.
When the grenade exploded, the soldiers guarding the door kicked the door directly, then fired a series of straggling, emptying the magazines of the two Type 56 submachine guns, and then there were no living people inside. A total of fifteen British soldiers, plus a man holding a broken short-handled musket at the door, were all knocked into a hornet's nest. Several new recruits felt that it was too cruel and couldn't bear it. As a result, after searching the next house, an old man inside was attacked and shot into the vest.
The Indian warrior who was attacked by the sneak attack did not react and fainted. Fortunately, he was wearing a steel plate bulletproof vest made by the company (which was common during World War II). The bulletproof vest blocked the bullet, but it did not block the impact force. Under close-range shooting, the impact force directly caused him serious internal injuries. Several comrades were shocked, turned around, and pulled the trigger at the old white man with anger on his face. The old man was made several holes.
Fortunately, after the medical staff confirmed that the comrades were not in danger of their lives, otherwise they would all have to apologize for death. In the morning, the entire army had only advanced one thousand meters. Apache was in charge of his own brigade headquarters and quickly collected information. They did not expect that the people from Boston actually began to help the army fight them. In particular, they even used various backward muskets and bows and arrows to attack the soldiers, which caused considerable casualties to the soldiers and failed to advance far in the morning.
Reported to Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin was completely offended. He immediately ordered the guards to set off and go inside in person. All the civilians on the way to attack were captured by the soldiers. Everyone confiscated any weapons, circled them together, and dared to resist, and directly shot them to death. Xiao Lin liked the most toast and did not eat and punished them, so that he would have some fun. His evil smile made everyone around him get goosebumps. Dean did not dare to neglect and took people to do it himself.
The entire guard regiment was an elite veteran selected from the guard brigades of various field brigades. One by one, it was a unit that absolutely obeyed Xiao Lin's orders. He held the most advanced weapons, enjoyed the most favorable treatment, fought against the most dangerous enemies, and did the most ruthless things. This is the summary of the guard regiments by other soldiers in the company. The guard regiment personally led the team and began to gather all the Boston civilians. Regardless of men, women, young and old, he caught and searched them, took away all the weapons, and tied them up on the spot with ropes from their homes.
Those who dared to resist with force and took out their weapons were all ruthlessly shot dead. The matter was done neatly. With such an example, the soldiers of the field brigade also began to take ruthless action. They did not dare to be ruthless enough after all, as long as the rebel civilians who did not cause them casualties were knocked out with a gun stock and tied up with a cross. However, even so, they would advance to a group of houses and be attacked. This annoyed Apache and other brigade commanders.
The key is that many British people even ran to the second and third floors to ambush. It was a bit difficult to throw grenades in. Xiao Lin was also very annoyed. At just over 1 o'clock, the casualties of the field brigade had reached 1,000, most of them were injured, but more than a dozen careless people were killed. Xiao Lin went crazy and was not allowed today. He asked the army soldiers to wait a little. The entire tank battalion, thirty-five tanks, immediately started to enter the city.
The tanks were not allowed to move before, because the White Tiger Light Reconnaissance Tank was not suitable for street combat, and the armor was too thin, and if you were accidentally hit by the enemy's artillery, you might lose some. And with the Type 59-1 tanks alone, five did not play much role. Now, Xiao Lin was not allowed to do so. He was led by five thick-skinned Type 59-1 tanks, and six White Tiger Type 1 tanks were supporting the side and rear, and began to push them from the tanks. Regardless of the narrow road, the tanks directly crushed the house and rushed over.
In Boston, except for the central area near the Governor's Mansion, other houses are all the most ordinary wooden structures. Not to mention the Type 59-1 tank, even the White Tiger tank can be directly smashed. If there are civilians hidden inside, then they are in trouble. The company is not a beast army. As long as they cooperate well, no one will hurt them. Go out and surrender directly. After the battle, everyone will go back to their own houses and find their mothers. Even if the house is damaged due to the war, the company will compensate them.
Everyone should know these things. After so many years of battles, the company has done this every time and has never been dishonest. Since it is unwilling to come out, it is the enemy standing on Lin Man's side. Even if Xiao Lin is killed, there will be no emotional fluctuations. As soon as the tank comes out, the situation on the battlefield immediately changes. The victorious Taiping suddenly tilts towards the company. No tank can be penetrated by guns and weapons in the hands of the British. Tank guns and coaxial machine guns are even difficult to get close to.
The British hid a lot of artillery in various residential houses, but ordinary residential houses were placed at most twelve-pound cannons, and the caliber was large. Once the fire was fired, the entire building would have to collapse.
