C1552 The massacre on the Suifen River (1/2)

Although it was only the most primitive version of it, the first signs of it was enough to make the tiger roar, it was as powerful as the king of beasts.

The moment the veterans opened their mouths to address Jia Da, the fox Cha Ke was dumbfounded. The three hundred rounds per minute was an unending barrage of bullets. The Death God's Sickle, which was made of metal bullets, chopped off a layer of people with each swing of its scythe.

Bullets penetrated the soldiers' bodies and bounced in the middle of the formation. The fox Chuck, who was mixed in the crowd, watched as countless soldiers spat out blood and bullets from their backs.

Some warriors were even sent flying by the bullets. Even if they were in the air, they could still see the bullets penetrating their bodies. The ones that were hit by the bullets all trembled.

Rumble … The sound of the falling war horses filled the air. The soldier with a broken leg screamed as he was trampled to death by the horses' hooves.

There were only four Gatling and just four of them had caused shocking casualties among the Cossack. If people could fly in the sky... Of course, at this moment, the sky was no longer lonely. The two huge hot air balloons had already reached a height of fifty meters in the air, and the frigid wind was blowing as the observation post recorded everything that had happened on the battlefield.

”Look!” The enemy's attack wave was blocked! vanguard unit's speed of impact is no longer as fast as a corpse's falling down … ”

The two observation sentry s' lips had turned purple. Their bodies were covered with two layers of fur as they used their binoculars to observe the entire battlefield. As expected, in the field of vision of the telescope, the impact caused thousands of people to fall down layer by layer. Occasionally, a dozen or so fish that escaped the net would be swept over by the Mauser's rifle.

”Inform the headquarters that the first wave of attack has been blocked by Chu Zhao's First Division. Gatling s can shoot steadily, so far, no mechanical problems have been found with the rain of bullets … ”

”Ahh …” The soldier who was picking down the telescope suddenly let out a miserable cry. Upon closer inspection, it was actually the bag's brass frame that was stuck to her skin. However, he did not notice that with such a huge tug, she had directly torn off a piece of her eyelids.

The weather in the Far East was very cold. As long as there was no serious blood, the wound would be frozen. The injured soldier pointed at the Suifen River's ice cover and asked in surprise, ”Why didn't they explode? ”The enemies have already made contact with the east bank, why aren't they exploding …”

Chu Zhao, who had returned to the temporary command post, roared out, ”Why haven't you blown up the layer of ice? What are you waiting for? ”Idiot …”

”Reporting to the division commander, we've already ignited it …” The aide helplessly said, ”But please take a look at this battlefield …”

There was no other way, it was Zai Chun's fault! Currently, the mine technology of this era was still far from maturity. The trip, trigger, and compression device had not been invented yet, so the original 'mine' buried under the layer of ice had to be ignited by a fuse.

The tube was directly frozen on the surface of the ice. White snow covered the surface, and the tube was then connected directly to the militia position. According to the original plan, as long as the enemy cavalry showed up, the engineers would immediately light the fuse.

According to the calculation of the speed, the explosives in the middle of the ice would explode when the frontline cavalry soldiers reached it. Even if they couldn't blow up the entire ice surface, it would create a huge ice hole that would hinder the cavalry's attack.

Unfortunately, the plan was not as good as it sounded. Zai Chun's appearance had messed up the pace of the soldiers, who would dare to ignite the fuse if the gem did not leave the ice surface? But when Zai Chun left, the main body of the cavalry had already rushed up to the ice layer.

In the end, there was only one lightning spot that exploded, and the huge impact directly caused a huge hole in the ice that had a diameter of six meters to burst out.
