Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1046

Chen Wei poked his head and glanced at a trench deeper than his height. When the red-eyed soldier was about to jump down, he suddenly made a stop gesture.

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately lay down in front of the first row of trenches, waiting for the next order.

“Company commander, why did you stop?” A squad leader leaned over.

Chen Wei looked at the criss-cross trenches and said: “These Dutch people behave too strangely. I am worried that this is their trap. Look at this trench. If we jump down, we will not be able to come up again. Even the Dutch are prepared. It takes a stool to stick your head out of the trench.”

“Indeed, if we go down here, we will definitely be captured alive. When we were in Geranj, it was said that the Dutch tried to **** our Han-style rifles and long flat machine guns. They were unsuccessful last time, and this time we will definitely not give up.”

Chen Wei nodded, they were just a tentative attack, and the troop of this company’s troops was simply killing him.

Thinking of this, he said: “You continue to guard, I will go back to ask for instructions.”

Having said that, Chen Wei ran all the way to Liu Chen with a short waist, and explained the situation and his own thoughts.

Liu Chen had doubts in his mind when he went ashore, so he sent Chen Wei to test. In his opinion, it is not normal for the Dutch to fight them with great fanfare, because no one in Europe is more than the Netherlands. Learn about the current empire.

Especially Eric, he knew very well that the current power of the Chinese Empire could easily destroy all the Dutch military forces in Southeast Asia.

According to normal thinking, the Dutch should now load the wealth plundered in the colony on a ship and escape.

But now they are doing the opposite, and they must have a plan.

“Stupid, do they think we are going to attack from the front” Liu Chen sneered, and he said: “The first regiment feinted, the second regiment, the third regiment, the fourth regiment, and the fifth regiment rounded out the flanks and wrapped them to me Dumplings.”

“Yes!”

Upon receiving the order, the Marine Corps acted immediately. The group of soldiers where Chen Wei was in immediately moved forward, using hand grenades and machine guns to shoot into the trenches, setting up a forceful attack.

The other soldiers of the Marine Corps bypassed the trench and prepared to outflank.

The actions of the imperial soldiers were seen by Eric and Simon, and their hearts sank at the same time. Only then did they realize that the army of the Chinese Empire is not a native army without rules.

In fact, the generals of the Chinese Empire are more flexible than them on the battlefield.

“Oops, they are going to besiege us here.” Eric said solemnly.

Simon said; “The fool also knows what they are doing. There is no other choice. Now we must attack.”

“No, so we will pay heavy casualties. You can see the weapons they can shoot continuously.” Eric argued: “Retreat to Jakarta, and then go to India. The coalition forces are waiting for us in Kolkata. They have The cavalry also has field artillery, which can at least fight the Chinese Empire.”

Simon couldn’t listen to Eric’s advice at all, because in his opinion Eric did not perform to his satisfaction.

He said; “I am the Archon of Manila, and now I order you to attack!”

As he spoke, Simon shouted at the officers.

Under Simon’s order, the officers went out of the temporary command post in the trench. They returned to their ranks and the Dutch officer who led the indigenous army launched the first attack.

Each of these indigenous soldiers took a bench and stepped on the bench. They climbed the trench smoothly and used their captive rifles to shoot at the frontal attacking Imperial soldiers.

In an instant, gunfire broke out on the entire battlefield, and the bullets of the Dutch army flew toward the imperial soldiers like raindrops.

Facing the attacking Dutch army, the imperial soldiers all fell on the ground and fired. The breech loading feature of the Han-style rifle made this posture prevent them from shooting at all.

The Dutch soldiers are different. The captive rifle they hold has a long barrel. After the paper shell bullets are torn apart, they are poured into the barrel and they have to stand up and use cleaning rods to tamping.

In such a gap, the indigenous soldiers trained in the Netherlands became living targets for machine guns.

“Da da da”

The tongue of the machine gun fired back at the Dutch indigenous soldiers who had climbed the trench, and the indigenous soldiers continued to fall in the dense rain of bullets.

The first batch of indigenous soldiers who climbed up quickly fell under the muzzle of the machine gun.

Simon and Eric saw this scene, and they became more afraid of machine guns, because they knew they couldn’t fight machine guns at all.

Although the first wave of offensive failed, Simon was not reconciled. In his opinion, the lives of these natives were worthless, so he shouted; “What are you still waiting for? All the natives rushed forward, who can take it? When a Chinese rifle comes back, I will give him a hundred gold bars!”

Under the heavy reward, the indigenous soldiers who were a little frightened screamed and climbed up the trench, but they found that the firepower they faced was even more fierce this time.

It turned out that after discovering that the Dutch soldiers had the possibility of breaking through, Liu Chen immediately dispatched another regiment’s reserve team to reinforce the regiment, which greatly increased the firepower of the regiment.

“Da da da”

The machine gun shooting became more intense, and the indigenous soldiers soon suffered the same failure as them.

The more than 3,000 indigenous soldiers who remained under the bombing died under the muzzle of the machine gun in a flash, and Simon could no longer remain calm.

Fear began to spread in his heart, and he shouted: “Take advantage of this, all retreat!”

The Dutch soldiers were so frightened that they immediately fled to Manila with Simon.

In the Pasig River surrounding Manila, there were prepared Dutch armed merchant ships. As long as they boarded the merchant ships, they could escape the enemy’s siege along the Pasig River and enter the sea.

At the beginning of the disintegration, there was no way to deal with it, and the remaining soldiers in the trench rushed to Manila City.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chen immediately ordered to catch up.

One ran, the other chased. The Empire soldiers in dark green uniforms drove the khaki-colored Dutch soldiers into the city like ducks~~ During the chase, the Empire soldiers stopped shooting from time to time. A Dutch soldier fell.

Eric frowned. He looked back at the Imperial Soldiers who were skilled in marksmanship and thought about how to restrain the Imperial Soldiers, which are easy to load guns.

While he was thinking, Ba Shihe’s figure appeared in front of them, but the soldiers of the Empire were getting closer.

Looking at the obstacles set up in front of the Pasig River, Eric suddenly thought of something. He said: “Simon, we must hinder their attack to be able to board the ship.”

After all, he immediately led a group of Dutch soldiers to hide behind the barrier, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to stand in three rows. The first group of soldiers was responsible for shooting, while the second and third rows were responsible for loading ammunition.

Whenever the soldiers in the first row shoot, the soldiers in the second row will pass their guns up, the soldiers in the third row will pass their guns to the second row, and the second row will hand their empty guns to the third row. Filling.

“I’m really confused, why do I only think of the fire hedgehog shooting method now.” Eric murmured.
