C440 The Bomb of the War (1/2)
The path leading to Mount Pan was littered with boulders and boulders. The white, jagged edges of the boulders proved that the mountain had just collapsed. The smoke in the air was a testament to what had just happened.
On the narrow mountain path, at the place where the stones were buried, a few corpses were lying on the ground in a mess. Bright red blood flowed on the ground like a stream, and without exception, these corpses were all wearing the light blue military uniforms unique to the New Army.
All of the dead soldiers were Liang Kun's personal guards. The three hundred men from the two guard companies were like a trapped snake on the mountain road, gunshots were all around them in the dense forest.
”Third Class Assault... Six o'clock in the direction of the jungle, there's an enemy... ”
”Moving rocks... ”Give the general a bunker and come out …”
”Scram!” ”Your father doesn't need special care. All of you, charge over and kill all these damn spies …”
The one who was shouting frantically was Liang Kun and the soldiers that he was prepared to bring to Guotou Village. However, right when they arrived at the northern mountain road, they met with the French warships that were firing from the east.
The flowering bomb s provided by the British were indeed powerful, the cannon ball just happened to hit the mountain that was filled with cracks, thousands of cubic meters of rocks rolled down, and guard company instantly suffered heavy casualties.
This was an accident, the French Fleet did not find any trace of Liang Kun and the rest. Originally, the cannonball was prepared to bomb a village in the forest, but it accidentally missed the trajectory and exploded right above Liang Kun's head.
The mighty French warship was looking for its next target, but right at this moment, three white flags suddenly rose from the forest on the mountain top above Liang Kun's head. Their tracks were actually discovered by Sun Ximei and her group.
When the French battleship saw that the cannons had marked the target for firing, it did not dare delay and quickly start firing again. Amidst the cannons' rumbling, the mountain had collapsed due to the explosion, causing Liang Kun's guard company to suffer heavy casualties.
”F * ck his grandmother...” Why are there so many traitors? I can't kill any of them, and I will hack you into a thousand pieces! ” Seeing that his subordinates had tragically died, Liang Kun became furious, and immediately ordered the troops to disperse and retaliate, and to enter the dense forest in batches.
Chang Sanhao, Sun Ximei, Stubborn donkey and the others who were hiding in the mountains were much more familiar with the forest than Liang Kun and the others. This place was originally the place where they had been hiding for a long time.
”Brothers …” As for retreating while fighting … ”If we delay this group of soldiers, we absolutely cannot let them reinforce the heads of the countries. Whether we succeed or not will depend on this one move. Whether or not we can return home in glory will all depend on this business!”
Sun Ximei and the others knew very well that in the eyes of the imperial government, they were just a bunch of flying eagles and dogs.
This time, they could either cooperate with Gong Cheng in completing the mission and returning to their country to raise their wealth, or wander around the world overseas. There was no third choice.
The Chinese of this era had a strong sense of hometown. Making them stay overseas was worse than killing them. For the dream of getting rich and returning to their hometown, they had to go all out today.
Liang Kun's side, on the other hand, was an elite army that Xiao Letian had personally trained with. Right now, they were in a period where their energy was like a rainbow, and they could not retaliate even after being blown apart for the past few days.
After shooting the three rounds of French battleship, he gave up on his clear goal, but the battle inside the forest still continued. Although the outcome was unpredictable, Liang Kun's plan of personally attacking the nation was still a failure.
Chu Zhao and Luo Houzi thought the same thing. When the French started attacking together, the northern defense line started to charge.
Hundreds of young men of the Forces nouvelles and the militia, armed with rifles, began to charge at the French fortifications, their cries for battle shaking the earth. On the other hand, the French Marines relied on the ruins of the Guotou Village, relying on the defensive wall built over the past few days, their rifles caused white smoke to rise from all over the place, and the dense rain of bullets repelled wave after wave of attacks from the new army.
This was the first time they felt the cruelty of the European battlefield under the Asiatic sky. The yellow face on the other side seemed as if he didn't know if he was dead or alive, charging towards the rain of bullets like moths.
After knocking down one group, another group charged up. The alternating cover shockwave caused the French army to be on the verge of collapse. Their line of defense was broken, and the most shocking part of the White Blade Combat had begun.
”Brothers …” Fellow villagers … That tyrant, hundreds of thousands of people are in trouble, the despicable French are massacring our brothers and sisters... Charge up to defeat them and avenge the victims … ”
”Revenge!” Revenge! ”Revenge!” Amidst the deafening roars, there was the sound of a bayonet piercing the human body. It was the miserable wails of a dying person and the screams of a Frenchman who had lost his courage.
