Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 70 The script is reversed

  The big earthquake trembled, and the sound of horseshoes rolled like thunder, sweeping wildly.

  The war horse crossed the hills, crossed the dry tree creek, and charged forward all the way quickly, quickly narrowing the distance with the bandit camp.

  1800 yards......1200 yards......700 yards......500 yards......

   "For the glory of the empire, kill..."

   Colonel Macbeth held a sharp saber straight forward with his right hand, and his body followed the strong back of the thoroughbred Arabian horse up and down, showing graceful rhythm and skill, and his heart was a little uneasy.

  These gangsters who have dealt with the encirclement and suppression squad for half a year have encountered several surprise attacks. They are not newcomers who have just entered the battlefield, and their expressions are too panic.

  This idea may be strange, but it is a fact.

  Said unceremoniously;

The   Birken bandit is the trump card among the horse bandits. It has gathered a large number of desperadoes and habitual bandits. It has a long and **** battle with the White People’s Soldiers. His hands are covered with blood. The crime is hard to write.

  But now the situation is that there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened. The cavalry and horse squadrons spread out in a geese shape to sprint.

  300 yards...150 yards...

   Colonel Macbeth’s anxiety was finally confirmed. The gangsters who had fled in a hurry stood together in groups, and suddenly opened the camp tent, the black hole hidden muzzle inside.

  Almost the first time

Colonel Macbeth recognized that they were six Gatling hand-operated heavy machine guns. Each heavy machine gun has six shiny blue barrels. This is a low-end version of a Gatling heavy machine gun, a high-end version. The version has 9~10 barrels, and the firepower is more fierce.

  Well, now is not the time to discuss the pros and cons of Gatling guns.

  Charging cavalry will welcome the baptism of Gatlin's heavy machine gun, Colonel Macbeth flashed a look of determination and tragic, and roared wildly;

  "The Royal Cavalry, charge..."

  100 yards...80 yards...

  With a hint of luck in Colonel Macbeth’s heart, he hoped that when all six heavy machine guns were misfired, the gangster sitting firmly behind the heavy machine gun showed a cruel smile on his face, and then he shook the heavy machine gun handle fiercely.

  In between

  "DaDaDaDa...DaDaDaDa..."

The sound of the heavy machine guns became one piece, spitting out 6 terrifying tongues of fire, like a deadly fire whip from hell, tearing up Colonel Macbeth and the pure-blooded Arabian horse under him with death and terror, blood splattered everywhere. .

  The momentum of the cavalry's charge was severely stagnant, and the cavalrymen in the forefront turned on their horses, rolling the blood-stained ground.

  The knights who followed vigorously manipulated their horses to flash past their companions, and then were struck heavily by the fire whip from hell, and the flesh and blood exploded in the air.

  The massacre, this is a naked massacre.

  On the hill in the distance

  Li Fushou held the binoculars in both hands and stared at him for a long time. He was deeply shocked by the scene before him. A powerful cavalry force was destroyed by six heavy machine guns, forming a one-sided killing.

  When did the bandits become more like British officers than British officers?

  This reminded him of the Battle of Baliqiao in 1860. Seng Gelinqin led a 30,000 elite and daring army, braving the platoon artillery and platoon guns of the British and French allied forces to charge to death, staged an eerie and tragic epic.

  In the face of technological power, human courage is punctured like a balloon.

The Birken band had already set a trap. After the siege and suppression cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and struggled to break through the heavy machine guns to a distance of nearly 40 yards, suddenly all of them fell on their backs and fell to the ground, leaving only a little offensive. Completely disintegrated.

  It turns out that there are already dense horse pits here, just waiting for the encircling and suppressing cavalry to take the bait.

  This scene destroyed the remaining belief in victory of the offensive cavalry, yelling in panic.

  The remaining Royal Mounted Police and the White People's Soldiers fled like a bombing den. At this time, two rows of cavalry were concealed from the back of the bandit camp, chasing them all the way, vowing to kill them all.

  See this scene

  Li Fushou silently put down the binoculars, and said dryly; "Wagner, have you thought of this kind of change before?"

  Wagner was speechless, and replied after a moment; "I'm very sorry Boss, I have failed your trust and can no longer serve as a commander competently. I hope you can allow me to retire honorably."

   "Can you recommend a better officer than you?"

   "It's... difficult, they are too immature, they have not experienced the baptism of cruel war."

   "Oh, we are careless. Please take back this immature decision. Only by training the army better can you cope with difficult battles. I have deep confidence in the German soldiers on this point."

   "Thank you for your trust. I can guarantee that the four guards are the best fighters."

  Li Fushou smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that the script was turned upside down, and said with a long sigh; "It's not that we don't work hard, but the gangster is too cunning."

   "Your insights are very brilliant, Boss."

   "The wild wolf Pilken has grown very fast in this year's **** battle. It has become a confidant, and it seems that it cannot be taken lightly."

   "Boss, have you changed your decision?"

"No." Li Fushou shook his head decisively, pointing his finger at the fierce battlefield in the distance and said; "The gang has 6 heavy machine guns and will have reliable logistics support in the future. It will be even more difficult to eliminate them. The combat experience is very rich, the character is cunning and ingenious, and he will pay a heavy price to deal with it. If there are not enough benefits, there is no need to take risks.

  Wagner hesitated and said what was in his heart;

  "Boss, the Pilken gang will become famous after this battle, and will attract more desperadoes to join, posing a real threat to the Red River Valley.

  This trap should have been laid out a long time ago, just waiting to enter the pit.

  Whoever comes first will be unlucky, this time God bless, otherwise we will have a big somersault.

  Once the elite forces of the Red River Valley are severely damaged, the Pilken gang will not let go of this great opportunity, and will pose a fatal threat to the valley town and the two industrial areas.

  Now that everyone's cards are turned over, I suggest that the enemy be hit hard so that they don't dare to covet the Red River Valley Ranch again. "

  Li Fushou considered it for a while, but shook his head and rejected his suggestion.

   ponder a little

  Considering that the bandit has 6 heavy machine guns, it is undoubtedly an incomprehensible killer against the cavalry in this era. The dogmatic German Junker noble officer has no good way to do this, but the cavalry charge is a set of tactics.

  Although Li Fushou’s military literacy is not high, his extensive knowledge kills all military and politicians in the world today, and he simply took over the command.

"Now I will command and arrange 100 cavalry guards with accurate marksmanship. After dismounting, they will approach the bandit camp in a concealed formation and use precision strikes to destroy the bandits. I will take back 6 heavy machine guns. Just pull his teeth. , Pilken Bandit is much easier to deal with."

   "Follow the Boss"

  After the Pilken bandits attacked with all their strength, they chased the remnant defeated general and went all the way, leaving only thirty or forty people in the camp.

  100 gunmen sneaked in after dismounting, slowly approaching the bandits in the grass, just like experienced hunters hunting.

  After the big victory, these gangsters were so arrogant that they picked the loot in twos and threes on the **** battlefield, and laughed loudly from time to time.

   approached to more than 40 yards, after a sharp whistle sounded.

  100 gunmen stood up in a hurry, pointed their rifles at the heavy gunmen in the camp, and pulled the trigger in their stunned expressions.

   "Papa Papa......"

  After the clear platoon of guns, the heavy gunners fell to the ground with a blood hole, killing more than a dozen heavy machine gunners in one round.

  The gangsters scattered on the battlefield were frightened and fled. After a few rounds of clear gunfire, more than a dozen gangsters were killed, and the rest raised their hands and surrendered.

  The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

   easily occupied the Pilken gang camp, Li Fushou looked around with a heavy heart, and the sound of intermittent and crisp gunshots rang in his ears, which was dealing with the remaining gangsters.

  It’s all scum, so it’s not a pity to kill.

There was a mess in the gang camp. Some of the tents were still burning. The corpse of the gangster who was lying on the heavy machine gun with blood covered in blood stained the grass. It was crushed into mud under the footsteps of people, and it was pungent. The smell of blood.

  In some camps, there were a lot of white women who were shivering and shivering. They were disheveled and disheveled, and they were tortured a little nervously.

Needless to say, they are the wives and daughters of the white ranchers who have been victimized.

  Don’t expect the gangsters of Pilken to treat these women. These gangsters who wander the wasteland have lost their humanity and take pleasure in torture and abuse. They like to watch the noble lady squatting on their body and ask for them.

  Wangqi deputy commander Li Baihu ran over with a trot, and stood up and saluted one by one; “Return to the master, the culprits have already been dealt with, what about these victims?”

  "They are all victims. Try to give them enough clothes and blankets, use the cookware in the camp to boil some hot water, and give them some milk powder to soothe them, um..."

  Li Fushou thought for a moment, and added: “The corpses of the gangsters should be treated centrally so as not to over-stimulate the women who were victims. Tonight, we will camp on the shore of Lake Kyle. We will arrange more outposts and secret posts to prevent the bandits from killing a carbine.”

   "Yes, sir."

  Li Baihu raised his hand and saluted a German military salute, and quickly turned around to arrange these trivia.

  Li Fushou looked at the victimized women with pity, but he could not do anything about it.

  The law of heaven recycles, retribution is unhappy.

  Perhaps when the white ranchers led the cowboys to shoot and kill the natives, their wives and daughters did not participate in the brutality, but after all, they enjoyed the vast ranch looted and maintained a good life on weekdays.

  From this perspective, it is not all innocent.

"Sir, dear sir, can you help us get revenge?" A blonde girl suddenly crawled out of the shack, her hands tightly hugged Li Fushou's bright leather boots, her white arms were covered with blood, and she lifted up tears. Asked with a full face; "Please... God, please help us, you have so many sturdy knights, as dense as the trees in the forest, you can easily catch all the **** bandits. die."

   "Uh... sorry, miss, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

   "Mr. Why, you are so powerful."

   "Because I am neither a RCMP nor a judge. I have no right to deprive others of their lives, let alone more than 200 lives."

"But they are all **** gangsters. They rushed into our pastures to burn, kill, and looting. They did nothing wrong. They killed my father and three brothers, robbed our cattle and sheep, burned our houses and shamelessly insulted them. Mother and I, I hate them and hope they all go to hell."

  "I understand your feelings, miss, this is a sad fact. I hope you can face it bravely."

   "Then will you help us?"

   "It is a great honor, I will arrange for someone to send you to Brisbane safely..."

   "Oh my God, that's not what we want. I just want all the evil gangsters to go to hell. Will you avenge us?" The blonde girl burst into tears. The tears were so heart-piercing and moving.

   "It's a pity that I can't do this. I am a law-abiding citizen."

  Li Fushou is now an incomprehensible straight steel man. Although the blond girl hugs his legs tightly with her hands, her body is arched backwards ambiguously, like a vine climbing a tree.

  But this guy is still not tempted.

The blonde girl is obviously not easy to pass, she shook her head left and right emotionally, her blonde hair was flying and covering her white face, and whimpered; "No...no...uuuuuu...you can do it, your person Just killed more than 30 wicked bandits, and can kill more..."

Li Fushou's expression was obviously a little impatient, and he still resisted the explanation; "I'm afraid you made a mistake, Miss. My cavalry team shot and killed the trespassers because they violated my private property without permission. Your situation is very sympathetic, but I can’t let them kill them just because the bandits killed your father and brother and raped you and your mother. I don’t have the right and obligation to go..."

   "No... you can, as long as you nod your head, there will be thousands of people willing to serve you..."

The blonde girl seemed to have spotted Li Fushou, clinging to his leg and crying, which made Li Fushou completely lose his patience and yelled at the awkward guard beside him; "Asshole, don't hurry up. Drag this crazy woman away."

   "Oh, yes, sir."

  Several strong men swarmed up and forcibly dragged the crying blond girl away.

  Li Fushou looked at his shiny cowboy leather boots. The girl’s finger prints and nasal mucus left the boots completely unrecognizable and eclipsed.

  Unlucky, why did you run into such a bastard.

   Li Fushou hummed his back and walked away, and came to the edge of the camp, watching his subordinates dealing with the **** battlefield from a distance. From time to time, people put the pounds and gold-plated pocket watches in their pockets into their pockets.

  Li Fushou turned his head decisively as if he hadn’t seen it.

  It’s not easy for this group of guys. You can’t let the horse run without letting the horse eat the grass, even some expenses for the aftermath!

  　 Thank you readers for their enthusiastic participation. There are enthusiastic readers who questioned whether heavy machine guns appeared in 1878?

  　　 Another enthusiastic reader friend checked Baidu and clearly pointed out that the Maxine heavy machine gun was invented in 1883, which is true.

  　　 The problem is that the Gatling hand-operated heavy machine gun appears in this book. Although the two are also heavy machine guns, they are not the same thing at all. Please do not confuse them. I hereby explain.

  　　 Gatling machine gun was invented in 1861, after making important improvements in 1865, it was equipped with the U.S. Army in 1866

  　　 The translation of the name Richard-Jordon-Gatlin is also called Green, so in 1874, the Manchu Qing Dynasty introduced a batch of Gatling heavy machine guns, called "Green Quick Cannons."

There is also an interesting anecdote. In order to promote the new product of Gatling heavy machine gun, Richard Jordon Gatling set out from the United States and promoted it in Europe, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other powerful countries. Although it has won some attention, No military orders were obtained.

  　　 He moved to the Manchu Kingdom in the Far East and once personally demonstrated heavy machine gun products to ministers such as Li Hongzhang, but the response was too expensive and he could only return empty-handed.

  　　 A few years later, in 1874, Gatlin unexpectedly got a batch of orders from the Manchurian Qing, and jumped up happily on the spot. History is so interesting.
