"Dududududu..." Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Mao Sanbai began to make audible noises unconsciously. Yu Zhiqian slapped him on the head: "What's wrong, the ball has melted, right? I asked Are you mortar ready?"
"Ah, head, I'm ready, I'm just waiting for your order!" Mao Sanbai coughed lightly, easing his embarrassment.
"Get ready, I want to give them a round of fire coverage, rapid fire, ten rounds!"
"receive!"
Mao Sanbai quickly passed on Yu Zhiqian's order: "Rapidly fire, ten rounds, target the Mexican position in front, release!"
"put!"
"put!"
"put!"
"..."
Five 60mm caliber mortars, ten rapid fire rounds equal fifty rounds of shells, enough to give the Mexican police a good drink.
At the Mexican police position, they heard a dull sound of thunder in the sky, intermittent, and looked at their companions curiously: "What's the sound?"
"I don't know!" Another policeman shook his head. This was the first time he heard such a voice.
But soon a Mexican policeman reacted. He heard this sound when he was a soldier. He even vaguely remembered the scene back then and shouted: "It's shelling, it's shelling, evade, evade, it's shelling!" "
"Shelling?" The policeman yelled desperately, but the Mexican police still didn't react. What they usually heard most was the sound of gunshots, especially the sound of pistols. Occasionally, they could also hear the sound of some rifles, so they had no chance to listen. It was the first time for some people to hear the sound of artillery fire.
"Get down, get down, get down, don't stand, get down, damn, damn it's shelling, get down!"
Several Mexican policemen who had served in the military yelled, hoping that their comrades could hear their words. Seeing his hurry, some Mexican policemen immediately got down, but some people still did not react and were still watching.
"Damn it, you don't want your life!"
The dull sound of shelling had become very sharp. The Mexican policeman, who had served as a soldier, knew that the shells were starting to fall, and judging from the sound, the impact point was right around them, but there were still people standing.
"It's the sound of shells!"
When the shells began to fall, the temporary commander of Mexico was the old general in his seventies. He was deaf and finally heard the sound of the shells. He shouted in surprise: "Shells, get down!"
"Bombardment!"
"Yes, bombardment, get down quickly!" After saying that, the seventy-year-old man lay directly on the ground, very flexible. This old man knew very well that if he fell like this, he could still go to the hospital for rescue. If If you are hit by a cannonball, you will really die!
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
"..."
The tail end of five sharp blasts became longer and longer, and finally five 60mm shells fell into the Mexican police position.
"boom!"
A shell landed in a low-lying area. There were six or seven Mexican policemen lying there. There were also two Mexican policemen who didn't know what was going on. They were standing and looking around curiously!
After the shells fell, a big hole was blown out of the low-lying land. The Mexican policemen who were lying around and the Mexican policemen who were standing were not spared. They were all killed in the small hole.
, there are corpses everywhere.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Five shells fell almost at the same time, and the group of Mexican policemen were a little confused. In the first round of shelling, this group of Mexican policemen had no experience. Thirty or forty people were killed, and some even stood there and watched.
The shell fell next to him.
"Help!"
"God bless!"
"Which one of you will save me?"
"My legs, ah, my legs!"
Those who were killed when they went out were hit by mortar shrapnel in a wider range. Some Mexican policemen who were a little further away were hit by shrapnel. Those who were unlucky had shrapnel inserted into their vital organs and died directly. There were also some who were alive and screaming in pain.
With.
"Go and take shelter in the crater. Don't stay where you are. Go and take shelter in the crater. The shells will not fall into the same shell!"
The Mexican policeman with some experience loudly reminded his companions that although this sentence has long been proven and is not completely correct, the possibility of a shell falling into the same crater is indeed relatively small, and it can indeed cause a fire on the battlefield.
To a certain extent, it has the effect of evading artillery shells.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
…
The Mexican police on the ground still couldn't remember their reaction, and they heard the sharp sound of breaking through the air above their heads. This time, the shocked Mexican police did not need any reminder, and immediately began to look for bunkers everywhere, or just lay down on the spot. No one was there.
Standing stupidly.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"..."
Five more shells landed in the Mexican police position. One of the shells landed directly next to the machine gun position. The machine gun position that the Mexican police finally set up could not block the 60mm mortar and was directly bombed.
It was destroyed, and several Mexican policemen around the machine gun position were not spared and were taken away by a wave of bombs.
The two rounds of shelling seriously damaged the confidence of the Mexican police. Previously, this group of model police officers were ambitiously preparing to kill Yu Zhiqian and others, but now they are thinking about how to survive. It is really terrifying.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"..."
The nightmare of this group of Mexican policemen was not over yet. There was another sharp sound breaking through the air above their heads. The first time, the Mexican policemen were at a loss, the second time, they were frightened, and the third time, this group of Mexican policemen began to feel the terror.
.
Later, a surviving Mexican policeman wrote in his memoir: "It was a nightmare day. I will always remember that day. Countless of my friends and comrades left me on that day. They were still having dinner with me at noon.
He was still chatting with me in the afternoon, but in less than a minute, he left me!"
"The sharp, long tail sound is like the harsh sound you make when you use a knife to cut across a smooth tabletop. It is like the sickle of death. Every time it sounds, it will take away the lives of a group of people. I lay down shivering.
On the ground, I didn't dare to look up. I heard little Kasha's cry for help, but I didn't dare to save him. I was just a coward, lying on the ground. Even if the enemy stepped on my body, I would not
Move a little and I'll treat myself as dead!"
There is another position behind the Mexican police, which is the position of the Mexican Navy. The Mexican navy soldiers are here. They serve as a reserve force. As for why the regular soldiers are placed in the back as a reserve force and the police are allowed to go to the front to face the enemy.
This kind of thing involves something else.
"What happened up front?" A lieutenant commander from the navy heard the sound in the distance and walked out of his room.
"Damn, it's a shelling!" After the major came out, he heard the sound coming from the air and knew it was the sound of falling artillery shells. Although the Mexican Navy does not have much combat effectiveness, it still participates in some military exercises every year and can distinguish some cannons.
Voice.
"God, the front line is under shelling. Those policemen are going to be in trouble. Get ready for us to support them!"
"Sir, the general hasn't issued an order yet. It's possible for us to rush forward like this!"
A staff officer next to him said in a low voice, the meaning was very simple, you can't get involved. After you get involved, many things will be difficult to explain. This is not as simple as a simple operation to capture Yu Zhiqian.
The Veracruz State Assembly actually didn't believe the message sent by Silva about how powerful Yu Zhiqian and others were. They didn't even believe how many casualties there were in the army. They just tried to use the enemy's strength to
Just to cover up their incompetence.
The struggle for power between local states and the central government happens every day in Mexico. The reason why the Veracruz Congress decided to arrest Yu Zhiqian and others was entirely because it felt that the people above could not handle it. If they could handle it themselves, wouldn't it mean that
Is your side more capable? Suppress your superiors and gain capital.
The naval force, on the other hand, was completely pushed aside. Who makes them one of the few regular troops in Veracruz? However, their participation is only responsible for dealing with emergencies. After all, the military belongs to the navy and cannot be divided among others.
.
Military is just an extension of politics. In many cases, it is not that the enemy is too strong, but that teammates are too stupid. Just like now, the Mexican police have begun to collapse, and some Mexican police have been frightened and started to flee backwards.
More than a thousand policemen, just because of dozens of shells, chose to run for their lives before the battle started. With one person taking the lead, the rest began to retreat, and finally more and more people fled back.
.
"General, let's retreat, our front has collapsed!"
A senior police officer next to the old general lay on the ground, secretly looking up at the old general, but shouting crazily in his heart: "Old guy, why don't you leave? You are not afraid of death, but I am!"
"Retreat? Are you retreating before the fighting starts?"
The old general pointed at the police officer and cursed, but when he looked up and saw all the people running back, he knew that the situation was over and sighed: "Why not let the navy people be on the front line? They are here. At least we can still fight a dozen, in case we win! It would be a shame to retreat without firing a shot now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out beside him. The old general turned his head and looked over, only to see that the weapon in the hand of a policeman went off and hit him in the leg. He was lying on the ground clutching his thigh and screaming in pain.
When Yu Zhiqian saw the appearance of the Mexican position in the distance, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He had already expected the result to be like this. The new recruits were afraid of cannons, and the veterans were afraid of trumpets. These Mexican police officers were worse than even the newcomers on the battlefield.
At least ordinary Mexican recruits have gone through some professional training and been exposed to some blank ammunition, but these police officers were completely new to it.
