18th century total war

Chapter 415 Landing on the East Coast of North America

"Alexey, take your men and take Gatlin from the front left!"

"Understood, sir!"

Alexei shouted at the top of his voice, then turned his head and called out: "Still breathing, follow me!"

After finishing speaking, as the squad leader, Alexei didn't even look at whether his younger brother was following up. With a Charles III rifle in his hand, he leaned forward and pointed at the hand that was spewing bullets from time to time hidden behind a dirt fence not far away. Shake Gatling rushed.

The battlefield was filled with obstacles and the fighting was very tense. Bullets were flying everywhere. The American puppet troops occupied various commanding heights and built fortifications, using single-shot breech-loading guns produced in factories in the United States of America, constantly tilting the ammunition.

Of course, for these Europa Empire landing troops, the most deadly thing is the hand-cranked Gatling imitated by the Arigado Empire.

The firepower of one of these things is enough to withstand dozens of American puppet troops who only have single-shot breech-loading guns!
The American Puppet Army is the name of the officers and soldiers of the Europa Empire, and their official name in the Arigado Empire is the Reserve Corps.

It was also ruled by the Arigado Empire and the Orc Tribal Alliance. After incorporating a large number of American militias and remnants, they recruited a large number of troops trained by poor American children.

It was only the powerful and capitalist class who fled North America. Even the capitalists did not escape. After all, the Arigado Empire treated the American natives quite well. Although they treated them as inferiors, they were still among the inferiors. Top notch!
As long as American capitalists are useful to the Aligado Empire and are willing to devote their loyalty, they can get good treatment from the Aligado Empire, and even get rid of their status as inferiors and become citizens of the Aligado Empire!

That is, people who have the same social rights as humans from the Arigado Empire from another world.

The rapid integration of the states on the east coast of North America by the Arigado Empire was inseparable from the efforts of these traitors in the United States of America.

Without these bosses, it would have been impossible for the Arigado Empire to quickly build up a reserve corps with a total strength of hundreds of thousands of soldiers using the original ammunition stockpiled by the United States of America!
That's pretty much what's left of the East Coast states, all of them young adults!
Of course, the reserve corps is not only a military organization, but also includes one-stop logistics and military production services.

The reason why the Arigado Empire frantically searched for strong men among the Americans was not only to drag them into the battlefield as cannon fodder, but also to pull all the strong men in the New World under its control into a unified military system to prevent the Europa Empire from The spies seduced them, causing a fire in the back garden.

Obviously, this high-pressure policy is very effective under the absolute military superiority of the Arigado Empire. After all, no matter how good the spies of the Europa Empire are, they cannot incite a group of old, weak, women and children to rebel.

Although everyone is equal before bullets, it is obvious that old and weak women and children with guns cannot beat strong men with guns...

Even in the 21st century, the main body of soldiers fighting wars is men. This is not discrimination against women, let alone preferential treatment for women. It is just that women are not only weak in combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but also easy to improve the morale of the enemy...

Of course, women also have talents with fighting talents, but compared to the entire group, they are still a minority.

Alexey's class is still intact, with only two people lost. They are all professional soldiers of the Europa Empire's local garrison corps who have undergone several years of training. Their military quality is not bad, the only difference is their actual combat experience.

However, since they landed on the east coast of North America, they haven't had a day off, and their shortcomings in actual combat experience have almost been made up for...

However, when Alexey and his group sneaked towards the position of the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun, the puppet machine gunner of the American Puppet Army suddenly spotted this group of people with a ferocious expression mixed with fear.

Without hesitation, he turned his gun in the direction of Alexei and his party.

Thanks to the performance of the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun, which is not as good as Maxim, when Alexei saw the muzzle of the gun turned, he yelled frantically: "I was discovered, everyone rushed with me!
For the empire!

Send American bitches to hell! "

Alexei and his team belong to the garrison. The essential difference from the Imperial Guard is that they have not been baptized by the ideological stamp.

After all, the Thought Seal consumes Glory Points, and Levi has never been rich with that thing!

However, the garrison regiment was sent to the front line because the Imperial Army Department wanted to test the actual combat data and defense deployment details of the Aligado Empire.

The garrison corps that has not been brainwashed by ideological stamps, although they have been instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism during military training.

But the reputation of Emperor Levi was really not good, not to mention that Alexey was still affiliated with the Moscow Regional Garrison Corps. Emperor Levi destroyed their motherland of Russia!
Not being hostile to the Europa Empire has already shown that the ideological re-education of the garrison has been very successful. It is pure fantasy to make them work hard for Li Wei...

The fundamental reason why the garrison corps fought desperately was because the military laws of the Europa Empire were very harsh. Once a deserter became a deserter, not only would he be shot, but the family behind him would also be implicated. In the most minor case, he would be sent to a labor camp, and in serious cases, the whole family would be followed. Let’s go to heaven together…

The local defense corps of the Europa Empire will not select orphans to serve as soldiers. Even orphans must be married before they can join the army. It is best to give birth to their own children!
As for men, once they have children, there will be ties. Except for a very few people who are ungrateful and ungrateful, there are a few men who are willing to let their wives and children far away in the rear go to the Jiaofang Division or the labor office for their own reasons ( The beautiful ones go to the Jiaofang Company, the ugly ones go to the labor office)?
Coupled with several years of ideological re-education and military training, the loyalty of the local garrison can still be guaranteed. At least there is no need for the imperial guards to arrange a supervisory team behind them, and use the Maxim heavy machine gun to urge them to launch an attack...

Alexei, who can become the squad leader, can be regarded as a veteran. The hand-cranked Gatling machine gun is the only continuous-fire weapon in the hands of the American puppet army. How amazing!
However, when Alexei rushed up, two or three recruits looked at the guns that were aimed at them, their faces were filled with fear, and they instinctively lay down on the ground, even their own guns. Throwing it aside, hugging the back of his head, as if he could avoid the bullets by doing so...

Well, lying down can reduce the probability of being hit by bullets, which is common sense.

However, don't look at how close everyone is to the hand-cranked Gatling, and that Gatling is still aiming condescendingly!
At this moment, Alexei no longer cared about restraining his soldiers. He fixed his eyes on the shooting blind spot under the hand-cranked Gatling gun, and took out a small but powerful wooden handle in his hand. grenade.

The grenade with a wooden handle installed by the Europa Empire is not much different from the American puppet army in appearance, but the explosive power is very different. One is filled with yellow explosives classified as secret by the Europa Empire, and the other is granular black powder!
tong tong~
The muffled gunshots came out under the ferocious gaze of the puppet American machine gunner. The hand-cranked Gatling has many shortcomings, such as not being too slow, otherwise the firepower is no different from that of a single-shot rifle.

And don't shake it too fast, it's easy to explode...

This is a huge test for the machine gunner. On the battlefield between life and death, which machine gunner does not want to form a safe firepower network in front of him?
Moreover, the hand-cranked Gatling still has a small 'forward swing', which makes it impossible to fire several bullets!

This gave Alexei an opportunity to save his life. He took advantage of the forward swing and rushed forward to what he thought was a blind spot for shooting. However, the soldiers following him were not so lucky. The moment the gunshot rang out, he fell to the ground screaming and covering his different parts like wheat.

Under the gun, no one can continue to stand.

At this time, the American puppet machine gunner who was shaking the handle suddenly saw a smoking object thrown to his side. His pupils shrank and he instinctively shouted: "Grenade!"

Boom~
After ducking his head to avoid the dust from the explosion, Alexei raised his Charles III rifle, jumped up suddenly, and rushed to the empty machine gun position in three steps at a time. Panting American Puppet Army soldiers called their names one by one.

There's more to a hand-cranked Gatling gun than just one gunner!

At this time, the superiority of the Charles III bolt-action rifle was revealed. Compared with the single-shot breech-loading gun of the American puppet army that requires a bullet to be loaded for every shot, Alexei only needs to pull the bolt to release the rifle. The cartridge case goes away!
After a few gunshots, the machine gun occupying the commanding heights became silent.

At this time, Alexei had time to turn around and look for his little brother.

After a few shouts, four soldiers covered in dust and blood and wearing the uniform of the Moscow Local Garrison of the Europa Empire stood up dangling.

Immediately afterwards, Alexei saw their company commander leading a large force and blowing the attack whistle towards the trench next door!
Losing the cover of the machine gun, in the blink of an eye, the American puppet army in the trench raised the weapon in their hands, and was shot dead on the spot by the red-eyed soldiers of the Europa Empire Garrison Corps!

Accidental injuries are very common on the battlefield...

Alexei pushed aside the corpse lying next to the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun, saw the immature face of the other party, his face was slightly startled, and he cursed: "Damn war!

Foreigners who deserve to go to hell! "

The political propaganda of the Europa Empire was very good. Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the garrison who were used as cannon fodder on the front line to explore the way, or the ordinary people in the rear, they all blamed the alien invaders for this all-out war.

If it wasn't for the alien invaders, which country in this world would dare to violate the will of Emperor Li Wei?

Not to mention an all-out war!

After cursing a few words, Alexei felt bored, leaned on the blood-stained sandbag, and took out a crumpled cigarette from his arms.

The tobacco industry in the Europa Empire has been monopolized by the Wallace Business Alliance, and it is one of the major sources of income for Emperor Levy.

Not surprisingly, cigarettes have become the best-selling item among the soldiers of the frontline garrison!
Even the grassroots officers of the frontline garrison corps reported to their superiors that they only needed cigarettes and alcohol to keep the soldiers moving forward bravely!

If it wasn't for the conditions, the front-line soldiers still hoped that there would be women to soothe their war trauma.

beep...

Alexei, who was smoking a cigarette, shook his palm and looked in surprise at the front line of the American puppet army in the distance.

All over the mountains and plains, allied forces wearing the same military uniform as him and carrying different flags launched a full-scale general attack under the excited charge!

A round of light mortar shells fell on the positions of the American puppet army like raindrops. Even though they occupied a favorable terrain, they were still beaten and fled.

It didn't take long for Alexei to see that the flag of the Arigado Empire fluttering on the mountain in the distance was thrown away, and a black dragon flag symbolizing the Europa Empire was planted on it.

In less than half a day, the positions of tens of thousands of American puppet troops collapsed!

From the beginning to the end, Alexei never encountered the alien human warriors of the Arigado Empire that the trainer had mentioned.

"Squad leader, after this battle, we should be able to enter the city tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

I heard that the Aligado Empire from another world conscripted all American men to the battlefield. The city was full of women, old men and children.

hey hey hey..."

The laughter that all men understood immediately caused the other surviving soldiers to join in.

Alexei frowned slightly. His squad was just established during the war, and there was no deep friendship between soldiers, and even the hometowns they came from were different.

The soldier who spoke came from the Smolensk region, and there was a natural gap between him and Alexei, who was a native of Moscow.

Alexey's squad leader was promoted after logging in. Fortunately, his original squad leader died, so he stepped up.

As a matter of course, more than half of the original team lost in the battle, because more than half of the 'new recruits' were added, the good and the bad became uneven.

The local garrison of the Europa Empire does not have many troops, but the Europa Empire has established a complete reserve militia system.

During the war, in addition to the front-line local garrison corps, there were also a large number of supplementary battalions composed of reserve militia (also qualified soldiers who had undergone long-term military training).

This greatly made up for the shortage of local garrison troops.

The loss of the first-line garrison can be replenished anytime and anywhere.

The American puppet army is afraid of the absolute firepower superiority of the Europa Empire, and has never confronted the Europa Empire's army head-on on the plains and in areas with a wide field of vision.

This made the Europa Empire troops that landed only able to fight against the American puppet army on a mountain top, a jungle, or even in a swamp!

Of course, this caused heavy losses to the local garrison corps that accepted the large corps operations.

Thanks to the Lord of Transcendence for the reward of 100 starting coins.
