165 The sound of the blue (1)
The Australian Expeditionary Forces fleet formed an infantry unit to rescue a truck that had been scrapped from the operation.
They were armed with tanks, self-propelled guns, machine guns and the latest gas-operated automatic rifles.
There is probably no army on this land that can surpass Easterfield’s new army.
However, although the army consisted of one company of 120 men, the power they had was truly terrifying.
Chongqing of the Qing Dynasty area in the early morning.
Easterfield’s chariots began to charge into the city walls of Chongqing.
Boo ah ah!
At the sight of a tank for the first time in their lives, the Qing soldiers rubbed their eyes and were perplexed.
“What the hell is that?”
“Home… … . No, it looks like something like a stable is moving, doesn’t it?”
“Is there ever a case where a house moved in this world?”
The train stopped in front of the castle.
And the hatch of the open tank.
The sergeant of the Easterfield Federation, who came out of the hatch, exclaimed.
“We are the soldiers of the Easterfield Federation! I heard that the commercial truck we sent is under siege by your troops! We are here to protect our own soldiers, open the gates!”
“… … What is that madman talking about now?”
It was absurd for the Qing soldiers to make a riot to open the castle gates out of the blue.
But that didn’t mean Easterfield’s troops would retreat.
Easterfield made an ultimatum.
“We’re going to count! If the door doesn’t open inside, we’ll fire!”
“firing?”
“one!”
“No, you mean that odd-looking thing can fire?”
“two!”
Everyone was tilting their heads as if embarrassed by the shape of the train they had seen for the first time in their lives.
If you think about it for a little bit, it was not that Cheong’s position was not understood.
Easterfield had now gathered up troops and ran as soon as the vehicle was moored, but the Qing had no way of knowing what was going on in their territory.
This is because, in this era, there was no means of fast communication, other than raising a beacon or flying a wave.
They had no way of knowing what was going on behind the scenes as it would take a year even if they floated to the castle next door.
But Easterfield’s soldiers were adamant.
They provided security several times in accordance with the rules of engagement, and nevertheless received no assistance in rescuing their own soldiers.
In this case, the invasion was possible under the Easterfield Military Law.
Whoa, whoa, whoop!
“Ready to fire!”
“Ready to fire!”
“launch!”
Ordinary cannons are muzzle-loaded, so if you didn’t know about the existence of rear-mounted cannons, you would have wondered what they were doing now.
Hana Qing dynasty soldiers would soon see the end of the absurd act.
Whoops! Aww!
In just one room, the castle gate collapsed in vain.
No, that wasn’t enough, the walls were horribly broken, and the Qing soldiers disappeared from the spot in somersault.
Cheong’s soldiers bounced like popcorn from a frying pan.
Easterfield’s soldiers stepped on the remnants of such a blue wall and began to advance.
Ricky Rick!
As the caterpillar device rotated, tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery crossed the wall.
At them, the Qing soldiers fired their bows and stoned them.
“Don’t let them live!”
“Come on, shoot! Pour your arrows wherever you can!”
What is the meaning of arrows in heavy armor made of alloy, not ordinary steel, but also of armor?
However, the Qing soldiers thought they were fighting valiantly in their own way.
“You can’t go one step further from here!”
“Oh, is that so?”
Easterfield’s artillery decided to show the spiciness of self-propelled artillery properly.
They had a map of the place, so they knew the location of the nearest official from here.
The self-propelled artillery stopped for a moment on its way, and began to line up on the spot.
Although the aiming target could not be installed, direct fire would have been possible through a rough muzzle alignment.
“Kwan-ah’s location has been identified!”
“Distance?”
“Looks like about 2.8km!”
“Well, it’s close enough to your nose if you fall over. It fires directly at the target.”
“all right!”
“When you are ready to fire, you can fire immediately!”
At the command of the squad leader, the gunner quickly turned the muzzle and aimed at the officer.
The ammunition was loaded with high explosives according to the instructions of the superior.
“launch!”
Whoops!
Fire erupted from the muzzle, and a high-explosive bomb flew towards a target 2.8 km away.
The Qing soldiers fell flat on the spot saying that the heavens and earth were shaking.
“Ouch! It’s an earthquake!”
“Heaven was angry! Everyone, get down on the floor and bow down!”
From Easterfield’s point of view, it was a bit ridiculous, but from Cheong’s point of view, this was natural.
This is because, until now, there had never been an artillery that produced such a powerful vibration.
After a while, a high-explosive bomb that flew 2.8 km accurately hit Kwan-a.
Aww!
“It’s a hit!”
“Fufu, now everyone is going to be surprised, right?”
As the squad leader thought, the Qing soldiers pounded their buttocks on the spot.
He had never even thought of being able to fire a shell from a distance of 3 km.
No, more than that, I wondered how a person could cause such a big explosion.
“My wife, it’s a scourge! Are you saying that these are the heavenly soldiers in the fairy tale?!”
“Chun-gun?!”
Is it possible to perform magic like this lightning without an army from heaven?
However, Easterfield’s soldiers who actually fired the shells went on their way without much concern.
“Okay then, let’s move forward!”
When I showed the power of the self-propelled artillery properly, the Qing army was sleepy and could not do anything.
Thanks to this, Easterfield’s commandos were able to break through the gate in an instant.
***
Since then, there have been several more gates.
All of them were located in the poorest castles, so they were busy either surrendering with a single high-explosive bomb or throwing away their weapons and running away.
The commandos advanced to the area of operation for four full days like that.
There was still a Qing cavalry that rode horses, shoot bows, and threw axes.
“Kill! If they don’t come out, attack until they come out!”
“Prepare to light their bastions on fire!”
The rescue vehicle was charred like a burnt sweet potato, and its wheels had already exploded, making it unrecognizable.
The body and features of the vehicle developed by Hana East Bank to transport gold were maintained in their proper form.
Easterfield’s soldiers fired warning shots at the Qing cavalry.
Tang Tang!
When they fired live bullets that were not blank bullets, the Qing cavalry reflexively turned towards the expeditionary force.
Then they changed the target this time and started rushing to the expeditionary force.
“Do they dare attack us? Kill it!”
“Wow!”
Chung thought they had won by taking over the trucks and threatening them.
From the Easterfield Rescue Team’s point of view, such actions were absolutely absurd.
“I don’t know where the heck that courage comes from.”
“Isn’t ignorance said to be brave?”
“Well, there is a saying that one-day dogs don’t know how to be afraid.”
What does a newborn puppy know what a tiger looks like?
As such, the Qing soldiers thought they were the best army and rushed towards the armored vehicles and tanks.
They even thought of using cavalry to push the tanks away.
Koo!
But, of course, it was suicidal.
The horse ran with all its power and collided and collapsed on the spot, unable to come to his senses any longer.
“Wow! Why is it so hard and heavy?”
“I can’t! Let’s defeat them with arrows!”
If the horses had collided and knew that there were no scratches, they should not have taken out the arrow.
However, the cavalry of this era had strong pride and did not admit defeat even if they were to die.
The ego of such cavalry soon brought death.
“It’s nothing. Shoot all the horses to death.”
“all right!”
The machine gunner sat down in the machine gun seat of the armored vehicle and began to grind bullets at the horses of the cavalry running around.
Doo doo doo doo!
When heavy heavy machine guns spewed fire, the battle horses either died on the spot or suffered serious injuries and could not get up from their seats.
As a result, the Qing cavalry, who had fallen down, opened their eyes as if in absurdity.
“… … Hey, how did this happen?!”
“Sometimes people need to know when to back down.”
Knowing that a bullet would kill them, now the Qing cavalry was also busy escaping with confusion.
Even the proud cavalry of the world could hardly act bravely after realizing the fear the ammunition created.
He even threw arrows on the floor and was busy running away to death.
“It’s a thousand soldiers! A heavenly army has appeared!”
“Tsuk, the wells are infested with frogs, too.”
If Qing had lowered its attitude toward the West even a little and accepted the culture even a little, the absurd thing like now would not have happened.
At best, the machine gun was too advanced for Cheong, who had touched the matchlock gun and was discussing the performance of the cannon.
As the cavalry retreated, the expeditionary force knocked on the door of the vehicle that had been firmly closed.
smart.
As soon as a knock was heard, the luggage compartment door opened.
“Oh, you are really here!”
“Our Easterfield never abandons our comrades. Because it is the spirit of the comrades in our Easterfield Federation Army that if we can’t rescue them alive, we’ll take them with us even when we die.”
“Comrades spirit!”
“Anyway, it has held up well so far. From now on, let’s go down with our escort.”
There was already a vehicle ready to load the troops here, so I thought it would be okay to eat a little more comfortably from now on.
So the expeditionary force headed south with the defectors.
The Qing infantry were standing by with spears, claiming to protect the walls that had been harpooned with high explosives until now.
The defectors once again began to tremble in fear.
“Wow, you want to kill us!”
“Do not worry. They are supposed to run away on their own.”
“You know how to run away?”
Among the armored vehicles, squads using mortars were lined up.
They were a fire support squad that used large-caliber mortars to subdue the enemy with rapid muzzle-loading.
After a total of three mortars lined up, they all started firing at once.
“launch!”
bang bang!
When the high explosives of the mortar flew and landed on the enemy camp, there was a huge explosion as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky.
Aww!
For the first time in their lives, the terrifying sight left the defectors at a loss for words.
“Huh… … !”
“Our Easterfield Federation Forces are the strongest in the world. You are being escorted by the most powerful army on Earth.”
“Well, then, are we now slaves?”
“haha! Could it be? Easterfield is a country ruled by the people. There can be no slaves in such a place, right?”
“A country ruled by the people!”
“You can learn it slowly as you study in the future.”
