Chapter 913 (First update, please subscribe)
Sometimes, fate always brings a bit of coincidence, and two troops with huge disparity in strength meet inadvertently at a certain location.
The god of fate made them collide, and this collision between blue and green was far more intense than either side had imagined.
“This is it!”
Lieutenant Colonel Edson Prior used a telescope to observe the hilly slopes in the distance. There were some sparse trees growing on the slopes, which were just right for building fortifications. As the commander of the 23rd Regiment, although he retreated from the border, it did not mean that he would give up his responsibilities.
"Major, the Ming army is still a day's journey from here, and we still have one night to prepare the position."
Edson nodded at the answer from Deputy Captain Antonio, and then he gave another order.
"Tell everyone that this is for our honor. We must use our actions to tell the world that the Brazilian army is not a coward who can only run away!"
They could only run away. In the past few days, everyone was running away. They were scared - the Ming Dynasty's airships had been bombing military camps on the border and even the fleeing troops. And now, what did they need?
Of course, to prove their courage to the whole world.
"That hilly area is a good ambush location. We can build a defensive position there. We have about one night to prepare..."
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds.
"It's a great day for a fight!"
Rainy days mean that the Ming army’s airships will not be deployed. They will only be deployed in good weather.
"Yes, tomorrow, maybe we can teach those Ming people a lesson!"
Not every Brazilian is a coward!
At least the soldiers of the 23rd Regiment are not cowards!
After receiving the order, these soldiers carrying British NO.1 rifles sped up their pace. They had to dig trenches and build fortifications before sunset, and then ambush here and wait for the arrival of the Ming army.
"Well, we can teach those Ming people a lesson tomorrow!"
"Haha, we can finally have a fight with them!"
Just as they finished speaking, some soldiers with sharp ears heard some strange sounds in the air.
"Bang……"
It's gunfire!
The dense sound of gunfire made everyone realize that there was an ambush!
Before they could come to their senses, the bullets fell!
bullet!
In just a few seconds, the soldiers of the search company fired more than 200 bullets. Although they were five or six hundred meters apart, the bullets still hit dozens of people in the marching column.
"There's an ambush!"
The Brazilian soldiers fell to the ground in the grass, raised their rifles and fired at the hills.
Lieutenant Colonel Edson Prior, who was lying in the bushes, started observing with a telescope and soon made a judgment.
"It's a small group of Ming troops, about a company."
Then he commanded.
"Anthony, you lead a battalion and attack!"
Under his command, a battalion of Brazilian soldiers immediately crouched and launched an attack on the slope. As they attacked, the Brazilian mortars also opened fire. More than a dozen mortar shells were fired, immediately blowing up several columns of smoke on the battlefield. The artillery fire was not fierce, but it still made the soldiers lying in the foxholes feel the threat of death for the first time.
However, when the enemy came up, the soldiers still aimed and shot as if they were shooting at a target in a shooting range. Although the Yuannian rifle had a fast firing rate, the Brazilians still rushed over regardless of everything.
Soon, hundreds of Brazilian soldiers rushed into the
"They're coming up!"
On the slope, Cheng held the handle of the Type 6 machine gun and aimed at the enemy in front of him. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and at the moment his brows furrowed, he pulled the trigger.
"Boom, boom..."
In an instant, rapid machine gun fire rang out, and dense rain of bullets covered the Brazilian soldiers like raindrops. Countless blood flowers suddenly broke out on the grassland, and blood flew everywhere, and large groups of Brazilian soldiers fell down.
This is the first appearance of the Type 6 machine gun!
The first time it was used on the battlefield, it was so astonishing. The seemingly one hundred-meter distance became an insurmountable chasm for the Brazilian army. They were enveloped by dense rain of bullets, which tore their bodies apart, broke their arms and thighs, and the flying bullets sent one person after another into hell.
The Brazilian soldiers trapped in the hail of bullets tried to move forward, but it was difficult for them to advance even a single step. The bullets were constantly reaping their lives. If they ran backward, the bullets were chasing them like a death talisman.
bullet!
The dense gunfire instantly killed all of them. When they tried to escape, the bullets hit their backs as if they had eyes.
Just like that, in just one minute, the attacking Brazilian army left behind hundreds of corpses, and Cang Huang fled back.
"Quick, retreat!"
Almost at the moment the Brazilians fled, Li Haodong shouted, then hurried to the truck with his rifle, and the machine gunner directly carried the heavy Type 6 machine gun and ran onto the truck. As soon as the soldiers jumped onto the truck, the driver stepped on the accelerator and fled into the distance.
Almost as soon as they left less than a hundred meters, dense artillery shells fell like raindrops on the position they had previously held.
However, they did not retreat far, but retreated to the valley between another slope, where the soldiers once again lay on the slope, they watched the previous position shrouded in artillery fire, and in gratitude, they once again loaded their weapons. After a while, when the Brazilians rushed to the top of the slope, before they could celebrate their victory, gunshots rang out again.
This time, the distance between the two sides seemed a little far, nearly one kilometer or more. Just as the two sides were shooting back and forth, no one noticed that a truck quietly detoured from the left wing to the rear of the Brazilian army, and then about five or six hundred meters away from them, Cheng Wangqian pulled the trigger again - there was a sea of blue in front of them, and those Brazilians who were behind the slope never thought that the Ming army would detour behind them in such a short time and launch an attack from the rear.
This time the machine gun fire lasted only two or three minutes. After knocking down hundreds of enemy soldiers, the trucks immediately evacuated at full speed. Even until they left, the Brazilians had not reacted.
"Damn it, they actually used trucks on the battlefield..."
Looking at the piles of corpses around him, Lieutenant Colonel Edson Prior cursed loudly. The truck just shot and fled, leaving only corpses all over the ground...
