Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Maxim heavy machine gun's rate of fire reached 600 rounds per minute. There were 333 bullets on a canvas bullet belt, and they were all fired in a little more than half a minute.  The resulting metal storm completely turned into a death cloud.  The horse bandits who followed the seventh squadron soldiers and tried to rush into the military station were immediately knocked down in large numbers, as if they were cutting wheat.  The attack of the horse bandits was stopped, and the soldiers of the seventh squad also took this opportunity to enter the military station unscathed.

    "Bang!" After the soldiers of the seventh squad entered the military station, the door was closed again, completely cutting off the hope of the horse bandits to invade the military station.  At the same time, the lances in the hands of the soldiers also began to shoot. Hiding behind the wall, they did not have to worry about being injured by the horse bandits. They fired calmly, and they basically shot accurately.  Of course, this has a lot to do with the Western Sichuan Army's emphasis on the marksmanship of the soldiers. As long as they are willing to spend money and feed them with bullets, the soldiers' marksmanship can naturally be trained.

    "Boom!" The artillerymen of the third company also fired.  Five mortars fired three shells each.  After each shell explodes, shrapnel is scattered everywhere, which can take away several lives.

    Under such a violent blow, the attack of the horse bandits was immediately contained.  The huge casualties caused the morale of the horse bandits to collapse again.  These horse bandits were originally a mob.  It was already difficult for them to attack a well-defended military station. Under the powerful firepower of the third company, the horse bandits were immediately defeated.

    From the time the horse bandits launched their attack to their defeat, it took less than five minutes, but no less than two hundred corpses were left on the grassland in front of the third company station.  Some horse bandits who were seriously injured but not dead let out miserable wails, but no one paid attention to them.

    "A bunch of trash!" On the grassland three miles away from the military station, Ma Qi put down the telescope in his hand and cursed bitterly.  His five hundred elite Green Horse Army did not participate in this attack. They just wanted to use these horse bandits to test the firepower of the third company's military station.  The results came out, which made him very dissatisfied. Although the firepower of the third company station was very powerful, he was still very dissatisfied that the horse bandits were defeated so quickly.

    The four leaders of the horse bandits looked a little ugly, and even the boss Ma, who was loyal to the Qingma Army, had a strange look on his face.  It was also their first time to attack the military station where the Western Sichuan Army was stationed. The powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army's lances, heavy machine guns and artillery shocked them.  With such a complete defense, what's the difference between attacking and dying?  Seeing so many casualties among their subordinates, these horse bandit leaders felt as if their hearts were bleeding.  After all, this is seriously consuming their strength!  And Ma Qi's scolding made them even more dissatisfied.  However, frightened by Ma Qi's strength, they could only bury their dissatisfaction deep in their hearts.

    "Eat lunch first, and continue the attack in an hour!" After Ma Qi dropped these words, he rode away.  However, the four horse bandit leaders felt as if they were in an ice cellar, feeling cold all over.  It seemed that Ma Qi would not give up until all their troops were exhausted.  They wanted to resist, but they knew that resisting would only lead to faster death.

    After the horse bandits retreated, the soldiers of the third company cheered.  The attack of the horse bandits was repelled so smoothly, which strengthened their confidence.  Although the horse bandits are outnumbered, they have strong defenses and powerful firepower. If they want to defend the military station, there will be no problem at all.

    "It seems that the cavalry is really behind the times. Under the tight firepower, the cavalry charge is just to die!" Wang Wei said with a pale face when he saw the corpses outside the military station.  It was also the first time for him and Wang Yuze to go to the battlefield. Naturally, they were a little uncomfortable seeing such a large number of casualties.

    "Well! The continuous improvement of firearms has seriously reduced the living space of the cavalry. However, it is necessary for the cavalry to continue to exist in the next few decades. After all, the mobility of the cavalry is still irreplaceable." Wang Yuze clicked  Nodding, as someone who has traveled through time, he is naturally very clear about the development of military technology.  When mechanized vehicles became popular, it was time for cavalry to withdraw from the stage of history, but now, cavalry is still an indispensable and important unit.

    "How are our casualties?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Zero casualties!" Wang Wei said excitedly. He killed more than two hundred enemies without any casualties. It must be said that it was a rare victory.

    "Order the soldiers to take time to eat and rest! It seems that these horse bandits will not retreat so easily!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yeah!" Wang Wei nodded, turned around and walked down the tower.

    Taking advantage of this time, the soldiers of the third company continued to enjoy lunch, then rested and gathered strength.  After all, these horse bandits have only retreated temporarily, and the battle will definitely continue.

    Those onesThe herdsmen seemed a little panicked when the fighting just started.  However, after the third company repelled the attack of the horse bandits in just a few minutes, they quickly calmed down.  This made them believe that the soldiers of the third company could protect their safety.

    An hour passed quickly. After the horse bandits once again formed an attack formation, the soldiers of the third company also took their positions.

    "The enemy's firepower is strong. When everyone is attacking, try to evacuate as much as possible. This time, the elite of our Qingma Army will also launch an attack. We must defeat the military station in one fell swoop!" Ma Qi said loudly.  There is no way, there is no artillery, so we have to rely on human lives to fill it.  The elite of the Green Horse Army obviously cannot be consumed at will. They can only rely on these horse bandits to serve as cannon fodder and attract the firepower of the Western Sichuan Army.

    "Yes!" The soldiers of the Qingma Army and the horse bandits took the order one after another.

    "After the military station is breached, I, the Qingma Army, will not want any of the weapons, cattle, sheep, and women inside. They will all belong to you!" Ma Qi said again.

    "Break the military station! Break the military station!" The horse bandits, who were originally demoralized, suddenly became excited.  They already knew at this moment that the herdsmen of Gasanka had all gathered in the military station. How many cattle, sheep and women were there!  If it all belonged to them, they would be rich.

    The four horse bandit leaders were also very excited.  The firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is so fierce. If all these weapons belong to them, wouldn't they be able to walk sideways on the grassland?  Although I felt a little sorry for the loss of my subordinates, looking at these rich trophies, I naturally couldn't care less.  The little bit of dissatisfaction I had with Ma Qi disappeared.

    Except for Ma Qi who stayed in place with a group of Qing Ma Army soldiers, the rest of the Qing Ma Army and the horse bandits launched another attack, including the four horse bandit leaders.  The Qingma Army and the Horse Bandits combined totaled 1,500 people. Excluding the 200 people lost in the first attack, there were still 1,300 people left.  The charge of so many cavalry, although a bit chaotic, formed an overwhelming momentum.

    "Get to your positions and prepare to fight!" Shen Ming, the acting platoon leader guarding the north platoon, immediately ordered after seeing the horse bandits charging again.  The monitors of each class also carried out the order.  The fire team's mortars have also been debugged and are ready to fire at any time.

    This time, the horse bandits learned their previous lesson and spread out when attacking.  They roared and galloped towards the military station on horseback.  Some of the horse bandits were in neat formation, and they looked like well-trained regular troops.

    "Damn it, the Qingma Army actually sent people to pretend to be horse bandits, we must not bypass them!" Wang Yuze immediately figured out what was going on and cursed in his heart.

    "Fire!" After the horse bandits entered the effective range, the heavy machine gun opened fire immediately.  Amidst the neighing sound of "ta da da", bullets were fired one after another. Any horse bandit who was not hit by a heavy machine gun bullet had basically no chance of survival.  The caliber of the heavy machine gun bullets is large. After being hit, a hole as big as a bowl will appear in the body, and it may even be cut in half. There is absolutely no possibility of survival.  Even though the horse bandits adopted a sparse formation, they were still swept down in large areas by heavy machine gun fire.
