Chapter 85 Logan joins, Xiaoqingshan builds a position
Before he came here, Logan had imagined the situation here countless times. He thought that those were naive fantasies, and Yanhuang Town might not be as good as New York. His 63 confidants, if they were not bound to Logan, would have been reluctant to leave New York City and come to a completely unknown place. However, Yanhuang Town did not disappoint them. The buildings were beautiful and neat, the roads were spacious and clean, and all the facilities were complete, and there was also a video hall that New York did not have.
As the host, Wei Xiao cordially met the Hesse mercenary who helped him purchase a full 1.5 million pounds of supplies. Fortunately, Logan was not as corrupted by his luxurious life as Babu, and he also had good military qualities. Babu, who had been training for weight loss for several months, was only the same level of ability as his current level. A banquet for rewards and welcoming is inevitable. During the meal, Logan also smiled with all kinds of Chinese dishes from the 21st century.
In addition, Xiao Lin did not have much contact with Logan anymore. It was not that Xiao Lin hated Logan, but because he was too busy. Babu, as Logan's brother and the introducer who recruited him into the company, was specifically responsible for helping Logan understand the company. Xiao Lin gave a thousand Yanhuang Coin Fund, and Barbu took Logan to eat, drink and play for three consecutive days. Although Logan had a lot of fun, he was not a person who was too greedy for pleasure.
Seeing the company constantly dispatching troops, he knew that he was guarding against the 10,000 troops in New York. After thinking about it, he and his confidants felt that they had no good places to go besides the army, so he asked to join the new army. Logan had only one credit for assisting in purchasing, and it was difficult to put it to the same level as the current seniors of the company. Babu was in a different form at that time, and the company lacked talent for military knowledge. Besides, after this period of hard work, he also made a lot of credit.
However, it is unreasonable not to arrange a position. Logan is the first white talent to take the initiative to surrender to him. This thing that money can buy horse bones must be done well. As long as there is the first good example, there will be constant talents coming to surrender in the future. After thinking about it, he can only temporarily send Logan to Babu as his deputy, be a deputy battalion commander, and learn more advanced knowledge of leading troops in the company. His sixty-three confidants became new recruits.
Originally, the guards would expand their troops in the future, so they took these 63 Hessian mercenaries as the core and prepared to form the seventh battle battalion. If Logan performed well in the future, the battalion commander of this battalion would belong to him. Originally, Logan and his sixty-three confidants were a little dissatisfied with this arrangement. These people were all Hessian mercenaries known for their elites. Even the British Empire of Sun-Battle-Still had to rely on their strength. How could they bear to be underestimated here?
However, after being taught a lesson by the Fourth Battalion soldiers, they became honest. At first, they each used their own equipment to simulate the battle, and were beaten 0 to 63 by the same number of Fourth Battalion soldiers. Afterwards, they said that the Fourth Battalion soldiers relied on the strength of their weapons and refused to accept it if they lost. The Fourth Battalion soldiers changed their equipment and used weapons seized from the British army to simulate the battle with them. Then they were asked to use official rifles to fight against the Fourth Battalion soldiers, with the best record, that is, 63 to 17.
The Hesse mercenaries are actually very strong, and their combat literacy and fighting will are the top existences of this era. Of course, they can only rely on some modern ideas. In the face of the modern and modern army trained by Xiao Lin using the 21st century military training method, it is still a bit inconvenient. Therefore, they can only accept the fate of becoming new recruits. There is no chance to participate in this war. They will not use new equipment, and they will not be able to make any splashes on the battlefield with British equipment, and more than 60 people.
The matter between Logan and the others came to an end, and the decisive battle between the Yanhuang Trading Company and the Adam Spandy family had just begun. Xiao Lin was really surprised to know the size of the enemy army from Logan. He had been two or three thousand before, but now he has reached tens of thousands. More importantly, there are heavy artillery troops. The eighteen-pound cannons and twelve-pound cannons are enough to pose a threat to the current guards. Even the wooden walls of the town cannot stop them.
So, Xiao Lin decided to put the battlefield outside the town. There are no mineral resources nearby in this location of the town, but the only advantage is that the terrain is still dangerous enough. One front and one back, both roads are blocked by hillsides. Therefore, Xiao Lin could choose a good place outside the town to arrange troops. One thousand meters away from the town, there is a small hill in the direction leading to New York. The mountain is not high, only more than seventy meters, and the slope is above 60 degrees. Xiao Lin personally named Xiaoqingshan.
On one side, it was opened into terraces, and on the other side, it was still deserted. If you want to take this road to attack Yanhuang Town, you will definitely be attacked by the soldiers on Xiaoqingshan. Because of this advantage, Xiaoqingshan also began to break ground on the wasteland. With the advantage of intelligence, Xiaolin received news from the enemy nearly a month in advance, and had a lot of time to build fortifications against the enemy. From more than 30 meters, trenches and cat ear pierced in the middle and top of the mountain peaks were dug out.
At the top of the mountain is the artillery position of the Yanhuang Trading Company. Xiao Lin took out all the ten mortars this time, and even if he had exhausted all the remaining two hundred shells, he would have no choice. Because the heavy punching style has already started production, he is not afraid of no cannons in the future. In addition to the ten mortars, there are also thirty three-pound cannons seized before and ten six-pound cannons. With the heavy punching style, ten ten cannons were produced under modern technology equipment and Xiao Lin's huge amount of money. In this way, Yanhuang Trading Company can overwhelm two families on the powerful cannons.
Let’s not talk about the Type 56 submachine guns. Xiao Lin also took out all this time. The original stormtrooper was formed again. This was the first time that the rotary machine gun appeared. In the current situation, there was no need to worry about whether it was kept secret. Thirty men were all equipped with troops. The most cutting-edge position was not far from the foot of the mountain. At a distance of 30 meters, as long as the British army was not afraid of sacrifice, the official rifle could only destroy at most one thousand people, and then they would enter close combat. Even if the Type 56 submachine gun was added, the enemy’s casualties could only be turned into nearly two thousand people.
Grenades are not safe either, they are not high-explosive grenades. In fact, they are not very strong in real lethality. Only machine guns can curb the enemy's charge. Of course, using the productivity of the town, the thirty meters of trenches are also full of traps. Maybe there are a few sharp iron spikes in the pile of fallen leaves, and it is the result of a useless foot when stepped on them. For twenty days, Xiao Lin was commanding the soldiers to build positions. In the next ten days, he used them to reinforce fortifications and add traps as much as possible.
The revenge army of the two major families gradually approached Xiao Qingshan. The arrest of Logan was not successful, and the lost materials could not be recovered. Charlie Mill was not an unreasonable person, so he returned the corresponding funds to them. With money, they could also purchase supplies from other places. In order to ensure time and efficiency, the money was used to purchase supplies from merchants and civilians in New York.
It is actually equivalent to robbery. The price is very low by those who are under the scourge, and the merchants do not make money at all. If they are lucky, they can still get three melons and two dates. If they are not lucky, they will be grateful if they don’t lose money. The 10,000 troops are satisfied, but the entire New York City will be angry. If it weren’t for the lack of strength, they will be beaten and scourged at night. New York officials have also been blackmailed by two families because of this.
Although there were more than half left, who would be willing to spit out the benefits of eating them? Perhaps because he knew that this completely angered the whole of New York, Clark and Poppy took the army out in advance. Just so happened that they had joined the Indian auxiliary soldiers in the field and rushed to the Yanhuang Trading Company. The two families did not want to offend everyone. Clark and Poppy did not cause any trouble along the way. Along the way, they had never entered a town. They needed supplies, and they were really purchasing with money.
On the third day when Xiao Lin brought back the second batch of heavy punches and placed them on the artillery position, these people arrived. Clark was very cautious and began to do his best as soon as he arrived at the colonial town he had been in charge. Even if the army had complaints and Bobby didn't understand, he sent a post to visit every day, fearing that he would be ambushed by the Yanhuang Company's guards. The cavalry posters, under Clark's strict management, could only run around with monoculars to look around.
Facts proved that Clark was right. If it weren't for the mail-striking efforts, the troops on Xiaoqing Mountain might not have noticed it. If they walked past Xiaoqing Mountain without any defense, they would probably have suffered thousands of casualties. Ten thousand three large armies were exhausted and did not dare to attack Xiaoqing Mountain rashly. The two armies chose a position away from Xiaoqing Mountain, set up camps, and prepared to rest and fight a protracted battle. Clark and Poppy didn't care much about the lives of musketeers. As long as the cavalry and artillery were fine, the musketeers would be consumed. As long as they could kill Xiao Lin and the others, they would not feel a pity.
Xiao Lin could not attack at night, so Clark sent dozens of patrol teams, and no matter which direction he touched in at night, he would be very likely to be discovered. Since that is the case, he could only accumulate energy and prepare for a positional battle.
The two thousand guards were all full of confidence and prepared to attack the enemy. No matter what, one of them was really at a loss. That was the first squad leader of the second platoon of the third company of the 5th Battalion, Kent. He wanted to fight the army formed by his own family, but he didn't know whether he should waterproof or fight to the death.
