When it comes to fighting with the natives, Lanfang soldiers are very familiar with it. Even if they have absolute weapon superiority, Lanfang soldiers will never be careless. This is the experience summed up with countless blood.
In fact, battles with indigenous people are always full of surprises, because the weapons used by the indigenous people are not common hot weapons, and the more unpopular weapons are often the more deadly.
Sure enough, when the soldier who was hit by the arrow was dragged back, he was no longer breathing. Although there was not much blood, his face was black and his expression was terrifying. Even though they were used to seeing corpses, the soldiers present felt deep in their hearts.
hairy.
A military doctor put on rubber gloves and went up to check. In less than a minute, the military doctor came to the conclusion: The arrow is poisonous. It is a kind of neurotoxin, which is very toxic. Therefore, brothers must be protected. If they are hit by such an arrow,
A shot wound may be life-threatening even if the rescue is timely, because the composition of the toxin is not yet known at all, so rescue is out of the question.
This saves the military doctor a lot of trouble. If he is hit by an arrow, he will die, so there is no need to rescue him at all.
Come on, give me all this. Huang Li, who had a bad start, was really furious. This attack was a bit harsh.
In fact, there was no need for Huang Li's orders at all. With the cooperation of heavy machine guns and mortars, the woods in front of them were already a mess with flying vegetation, and even big trees were ignited by violent explosions. It was truly a chaotic situation.
Those small huts have disappeared now. The power of the large-caliber machine gun pursues lethality. If it is fired with three to five bullets, a hut will directly disintegrate. Naturally, the people inside will not be spared. No one will survive at all.
Come down.
The heavy machine gun equipped by the exploration escort is an enlarged version of the Type 20 light machine gun, with a caliber of 12.7 mm. Although the barrel cannot be replaced, the rate of fire is also reduced because it is lengthened and thickened. If the shooter uses burst fire, it still has a stronger effect.
When a .12.7mm bullet with sustained combat capability hits a person, no matter where it hits, the wounded person will immediately lose combat effectiveness. Basically, it will hit the arm and shatter it, or hit the thigh and the thigh will fly away. If the person who is hit is
For the torso area, it would be better to commit suicide directly to avoid suffering more pain.
Using such a heavy machine gun to shoot at a house, if it is a brick-concrete structure, would be stress-free at all. It would be worthy of the reputation of a professional who demolishes walls. Now it is really overkill for shooting these small wooden houses.
With just a few bursts of fire, all these cabins were reduced to rubble. The soldiers did not dare to get too close for fear of being attacked by someone else, so they threw a few grenades at them from a distance, and then they all returned to peace.
It can't be said to be peaceful. The trees that were ignited by gunpowder just now are still crackling, and there is a tendency to spread to the side. A gust of mountain wind blows over, and there is a faint smell of burning.
He was cremated on the spot and the ashes were sent to the ship to take back. Huang Li never expected that the exploration convoy would suffer casualties on just the first day.
Since cremation is not possible, we need to collect specimens and send them back for analysis to see if the toxin can be decoded. Military doctors still do their duty.
Then hurry up! Huang Li's voice was loud and he roared, obviously he was in a bad mood.
The military doctor would definitely not ignore Huang Li's signs at this time, so he collected the samples on his own, put them in test tubes, and gave them to the soldiers to take back later.
We need to establish a safe zone first. Since we have made enemies, we must be prepared for sneak attacks by these natives. The sun is going to set soon, and it is estimated that it may not be completed before sunset. Wu Qing looked solemn and handed the telescope to Huang Li.
, pointing to a hilltop in the distance for Huang Li to see for himself.
About two kilometers away from Huang Li's landing point, there were several upright indigenous people with colorful feathers on their heads, colorful patterns painted on their faces, barely any hair on their bodies, and holding bows, arrows and spears in their hands.
Look here with a confused look.
Lan Fang's telescope was of good quality, and Huang Li could clearly see that those eyes showed deep hatred.
Two kilometers is really not a safe distance.
Huang Li raised his hand and called Kong Huarong, the commander of the battalion's machine gun company, and handed him the binoculars in his hand.
No problem, it's a little more than two thousand meters, completely within our range. Kong Huarong didn't say much, turned around and picked up the artillery rangefinder to measure the detailed data, and then ordered the gunners who were ready to fire.
It was still the familiar three-shot attack, but this time the number of mortars fired had increased to 12.
Although the battle on the shore was unknown, violent explosions could still be heard on the cruise ship, so artillery and heavy machine guns were sent ashore first to prepare to strengthen the firepower of the landing personnel.
The firepower was already strong enough. Three rounds of firepower came down quickly, and the orange-red fire ball had covered the hilltop. If they could survive under this intensity of firepower, it could only mean that those indigenous people were God himself.
.
Evacuate, take everyone back to the boat and come back early tomorrow morning. Huang Li is still decisive and will not fight with these natives for a day and night.
Just where the soldier fell just now, several boxes of cans and a pile of chocolates held by the soldier were very conspicuous.
Hum, we know how to poison, take away the chocolate and leave those cans behind. After Huang Li said that, he turned around and left.
Come on, we don't have poison at the moment, so Wu Qing is still confused as to what to do here.
Let them eat it first. They won't take the bait without tasting some of the sweetness. Huang Li is indeed cruel.
That night, the cruise ship docked at the anchorage and did not move. It was still cautious as it should have been. The searchlight on the cruise ship was on all night long, constantly patrolling the surrounding sea.
After a bad start, the soldiers were obviously in a low mood and were not very active during dinner.
After dinner, Huang Li organized the soldiers to watch Lanfang Royal Pictures' latest film Corsica on the deck. He played it three times, making all the soldiers scream in excitement, and then ordered the soldiers to go back to rest.
Early the next morning, at dawn, the lifeboat pulled a company of soldiers back towards the place where they landed yesterday.
This time, he was not unprepared. Huang Li fully washed away his experience and ordered all the soldiers to wear two sets of military uniforms and one set of training uniforms, using the thickness of the cloth as much as possible to offset the sharpness of the bows and arrows.
The clothes worn by Lanfang soldiers are all made of denim fabric. This kind of fabric is quite thick. It is not easy for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot through three layers of denim fabric, unless they are shooting at close range, and the rifles in the hands of Lanfang soldiers are also
Instead of burning fire sticks, it would not be easy for the natives to attack the Lanfang soldiers at close range.
Just as Huang Li thought, the landing site was obviously different from yesterday. The cans had disappeared without a trace, and the earth and rocks on the ground also showed signs of turning.
Be careful of traps and use grenades to clear the way. Huang Li will respond immediately. This kind of trap to deal with beast-level traps is child's play, and it is not easy to use it to deal with humans.
The soldiers' weapons and equipment were still sufficient, and half of the cruise ship was on board. After hearing Huang Li's order, the soldiers immediately took out grenades and threw them at all suspicious places.
Amid the violent explosion, through the smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion, hundreds of figures running away in panic could be clearly seen.
Shoot, shoot, don't let anyone go. Huang Li shot first. Even if the natives had escaped the range of Huang Li's pistol, Huang Li still had to show his attitude.
Compared with pistols, rifles have a much longer range. Compared with the speed of human running, bullets fly much faster. This combat method, which is similar to target shooting, is the favorite of soldiers.
, so very few people could escape the soldiers’ fire.
Ignore them, establish a defensive position first, reload all corpses first, and enforce battlefield discipline. Huang Li is ruthless and will not leave any way for these natives to survive.
Compared with last night, the lifeboats moved much faster today, a bit like a beach landing. Before noon, all the soldiers, weapons and ammunition supplies had been sent ashore.
The cruise ship did not leave immediately. It would not leave until the temporary camp was established.
Before the arrival, the military headquarters was still prepared. Among the materials distributed, there were a number of prefabricated houses that could be assembled, including outer walls and observation towers. The soldiers only needed to assemble them, and a temporary camp could be set up quickly.
Build it.
Before setting up a temporary camp, the first thing to set up is a tent. This is the command center and also a warehouse for storing weapons, ammunition and various supplies.
While the soldiers were busy outside, Huang Li and Wu Qing hid in the tent to discuss.
There's no way to go on like this. We can't just blow up all the way with grenades. We can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. We have to find a way to get rid of the thief once and for all. It is not Huang Li's character to be beaten passively. Huang Li is still
Be proactive.
It would be great if there are local people who can cooperate with us. Is there a leading party here? Wu Qing has many ideas and wants to integrate all the resources at hand.
It's the same whether there is a leading party or not. If there is no leading party, we will cultivate it ourselves. After Huang Li finished speaking, he turned around and ordered the operator: Send a report to the headquarters and ask when those French people arrived. The French have been operating here for so long and they will not buy it.
several natives
It didn't take long for the Lanfang local headquarters to call back. The French exploration team had set off from the French mainland and was expected to arrive in Manantenina in a week. As for the local leading party, a major affiliated with the French Governor-General in Madagascar had already led the party.
A team of 120 people set off from the capital Antananarivo and is expected to arrive in Manantenina the day after tomorrow.
That's right. The French returned to Madagascar under the pretense of protecting the Sakalawa people. How could they not find a few people to lead the way?
