Chapter 1097: You cant pretend that at will on the battlefield
Captain Liu smiled because he heard the familiar sound of the aircraft engine.
The aero engine that emits a heavy and powerful roar was developed after he went to the Dark Yuan Empire to discuss with the technicians of Rolls-Royce. The power of 1,200 horsepower is not comparable to that of the 710 horsepower of the Black Hawk Empire's 96 fighter jet.
If it were the Black Hawk Empire's Type 96 fighter jets, their figures should have appeared now when the sound was so clear.
It is obvious that Zhou Dapeng led his war eagle to the battlefield very on time, and even rushed before the Black Hawk Air Force arrived. They were at a high enough altitude that no one could see.
And the position of Commander Liu who was laughing was one thousand meters away, and the Major General Brigade Commander of the Black Hawk Army also showed a smile on his face.
The heavy sound of the aircraft engine came from high altitude like the sound of nature, which means that the Imperial Aircraft fighter jets have arrived at the battlefield.
At most two minutes, they would pounce from the sky like an eagle, hiding on the ridge, shooting at the 40th Infantry Brigade, the kingdoms who would scatter helplessly amid the roar of the Imperial Eagle machine guns.
But no matter how they escape, it is futile. Unless they have the courage to rush down the mountain to fight with the Imperial Army at close range.
But, is that useful?
Although he was beaten for a long time, Zou Yun never thought that the Imperial Warriors under his command would not be the opponent of the Principal Army. Even if the opponent's mortar was unexpectedly more unexpected, the machine rifle was unexpectedly powerful, and the soldiers' tactical literacy and discipline were unexpectedly strong.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 against the Kingdom, the Black Hawk Empire has won consecutive victories against China, and has not lost for decades. This is the confidence brought by countless victories. It is not just that the independent regiment has the upper hand that can make the surrounded Black Hawk Empire army lose its soul and willing to admit defeat.
What's more, their biggest trump card has finally appeared.
In the sky of Lingpizhou, the only one who can spread its wings and soar is the Black Hawk Empire Eagle with a flag.
"Okay, although the eagles of the Land Airlines came a little late, it was not too late. They ordered the squadrons not to advance and defend their positions. If the kingdoms rushed down the mountain, let them see the power of the Black Hawk Empire Army. When the empire eagles smashed the kingdoms' stubborn resistance, it will be the moment for our army to fight back in full swing." Zou Yun's face was no longer white, his hands were no longer shaking. He stood up straight, wearing white gloves and holding the command knife, and was in a sure way to command the general.
"Also, inform the division headquarters that the 38th Air Wing had arrived at the battlefield. Our 40th Infantry Brigade will launch a counterattack against the kingdoms in fifteen minutes, and ask the division commander to wait for the news of our victory." The major general of the army, who had recovered his energy, ordered the communications staff who followed the brigade headquarters.
"Yes!" The Black Hawk officers and soldiers surrounded by the brigade commander and bowed their heads together.
They must praise the brigade commander. This habit of being able to praise even if you die is the innate subordinates of the Black Hawk Army's awe of superiors, even on the battlefield.
It is said that when it rains, it is easy to be struck by lightning, but when it comes to show off on the battlefield, it will be patronized by bullets and artillery shells.
Gou Wu is from Yili Town, Fuhongzhou. Five years ago, the commander of the regiment Lang pretended to be a coward in Yili Town and beat the Gou family in Yili Town to obey. In order to hold the thigh of the Independent Regiment, the local snake Gou family in Yili Town recruited soldiers in Yili Town and selected 500 strong men from Fuhongzhou to join Qiu Tongzhou to be recruited for the Independent Regiment.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as Gou Wu. As the fifth brother in the family, Gou Wu, who has 4 brothers and 3 younger brothers, is definitely not valued at home. The old Gou family, who gave birth to 8 sons in one go, was too lazy to even give him a name, so he called Gou Wu directly.
The fact that there were many people and great power could not be used in the poor land of the kingdom at that time. The Gou family had only a few acres of thin land in their family. According to principles, it was considered a middle-aged peasant, but facing a dozen mouths that wanted to eat, and most of them were big men who could eat half a pound of a meal, they could not keep their mouths. Growing up in such an environment, Gou Wu would be a strong man, and saying that bean sprouts would make him plump.
In Fuhongzhou, Yili Town was naturally not much better. It made the prosperous Gou Wu family short of the population. Grandparents and parents starved to death, and three of the four brothers starved to death. From the bottom of him, only two younger brothers were left. If it weren't for the food that parents and brothers would rather starve to death than save, the two younger brothers would have been starved to death.
Gou Wu is lucky. Although he is thin, he is very smart. At the age of 18, he happened to go out to Yunzhou as a traveling businessman. It was more than a year later when he got home.
When he came back, he found that there were only three left of the twelve family. In order to support his two younger brothers, Gou Da sold himself to the Gou family and became a servant. He followed Gou Defu, a playboy who was kicked into the independent regiment to train, and went to join the army with him.
With the ten silver coins he had saved after working hard in Yunzhou a year, the twenty silver coins he left for his servants by his elder brother, and the military pay he would entrust the Gou family caravan every three months, Gou Wu would not have a problem supporting his two twelve or thirteen-year-old brothers, and even, he was still doing well in the local area.
However, by June, my elder brother's military pay came back a little, but the news that my elder brother was killed in the ancient city and his urn were also coming back together.
The kitchen squad led by the former playboy Gou Defu died in battle and two survived. Gou Da was one of the six people killed.
The pension and reward of up to 300 silver coins cost the eyes of the 19-year-old young man and two little boys, but it also made them cry for several days. They knew that the mellow and honest brother would never come back. Damn God took away their parents and brothers, but the more damn Black Hawk Empire took away their only support.
With his two younger brothers, Gou Wu followed the Gou family caravan to the southwest and entered Qiu Tongzhou, and participated in the public memorial meeting of the Independent Regiment.
It was like breaking into a new world. For the first time, Gou Wu, who had always been worried about belly problems, knew what a country is, what a home is, what a country is, and what a country is. The fat man in military uniform was not handsome, but he stood in front of everyone and was deafening, as if he was carrying light on his body, which made Gou Wu, who was so sad that his elder brother was not losing his death. He asked many big men to take off his hat and bow in front of his tombstone. He also killed at least three Blackhawk Empire men, who were heroes.
Especially when he saw more than 2,000 soldiers present, whether they were the largest commander, Commander Liu, the disabled soldiers sitting on the cart without legs, or even the officer without hands, all raised his right hand high and placed it on the tip of his ears and eyebrows, he felt that his blood seemed to be boiling and his whole body was trembling.
There was only one voice in his mind, and he also wanted to join the army and fight against the Black Hawk Empire like his elder brother.
He could not explain this feeling, even if he found the Military Service and finally got permission to wear military uniforms because he was a soldier brother. It was not until a long time later that he realized that the feeling was called honor and loyalty.
Honor and loyalty belonging to soldiers.
Honored for bravery and fearlessness, and loyal for the country and nation.
Both younger brothers were taken care of by the Gou family. The elder brother's pension and his military pay were enough to allow them to grow up carefree. Gou Wu joined the army without hesitation and joined the Independent Corps.
The 19-year-old young man worked very hard. In four years, he went from a second-class mutiny to a top corps. From a top corps to a sergeant one month before his expedition, he was also the best among the soldiers in the same year.
Now, he is a mortarist in the infantry platoon fire squad.
In the Independent Regiment, an infantry squad or firepower squad has at least 3 sergeants, and some even have sergeant commanders. It is not new to sergeants who do not take military positions but are just a big-headed soldier in the Independent Regiment, but their salary is quite large. Some senior sergeants are less than that of second lieutenants.
The 60 small cannon was only developed and equipped in the past two years. The cannon has a small caliber, but it is very practical. It weighs only 18 kilograms and has obtained sufficient nutrition. It has become a typical Guanzhong man Gouwu who is 1.75 meters tall and can walk like a flying man by one person, but the range is as high as 1,500 meters.
Only three ammunition hands were needed to follow him, and four people in a mortar team could carry a base of 40 shells and 60 small cannons to provide fire support to the brothers of the infantry squad within a range of more than 1,000 meters.
After training for 4 years, he finally started a war with the Black Hawk Empire. Unlike other recruits who have never been on the battlefield, Gou Wu, who wanted to avenge his elder brother and understand honor and loyalty, was very excited. The elder brother had a gun four years ago, so he killed three. Now he was holding a cannon, so why don’t he kill thirty?
The large caliber 82 was ordered to fire artillery at the Black Hawk Imperial Army hundreds of meters behind the battlefield. The small cannons equipped by each fire squad were required to operate with the infantry squad to support the frontline combat.
So when the war began, the sergeant mortarist treated himself as an infantryman, carrying 60 cannons at a speed that was even faster than the infantry, which made the infantry platoon leader speechless. Are you planning to charge with the cannon?
Of course, shooting guns from the ridge downwards have the advantage, but shooting cannons is not necessarily the case. There are much more blind spots than the gunners imagine.
Many Black Hawk Imperial Army grenade launchers hid in invisible dead corners, fired a few grenades on the ridge and slipped away, which was really hateful.
A little angry Gou Wu took an observation hand and ammunition hand with 10 shells, carrying a small cannon, and sneaked to the hillside with a small cannon, looking for those cunning targets everywhere.
A distance of hundreds of meters, smoke was everywhere, and there were several small hills. A group of officers surrounded the white gloves and commanding knives that were pretending to be on the battlefield. Gou Wu actually couldn't see clearly.
The only thing he could see was that there seemed to be a lot of yellow military uniforms in that piece. After this shot, he would kill four or five of them!
Yes, what the Independent Sergeant thought at this moment was to kill a few more Black Hawk Empire people. The more people gathered, the greater the chance of his beloved 60 being forced to hit the fortune.
The maximum rate of fire can reach 18 rounds per minute and 60 is enough to wipe out all 10 rounds of shells you carry in one minute.
