Chapter 366 (1/2)
Over there, chief omara is going crazy. Over here, major general Carlos, with half gray hair, says nothing.
It's not that major general Carlos doesn't care about his subordinates. He also cares. Can he not be distressed that all the Marines of the whole North American sub fleet were slaughtered right under his nose?
From his red eyes, we can see how much major general Carlos is distressed and angry at this time.
But what method does heartache and anger have? There is no way!
In the face of this new and powerful weapon, there is no difference between a fragile life and a piece of paper. Major general Carlos would like to call God down to save his men, but is that possible?
Major general Carlos has seen life and death. He is used to it.
During a naval battle, you can often see hundreds of soldiers on a ship sinking into the deep sea with a ship. In just ten minutes, a mighty battleship was torn to pieces by artillery
No matter the warship or the brothers on the warship, they are the flesh and blood of major general Carlos.
But what about that? This is war. War is bound to kill people!
It is also because major general Carlos is used to seeing this kind of system destroyed by people, whether his subordinates or his enemies, he has seen a lot. So, even now that his 1500 Riflemen are being slaughtered by the powerful weapons of the enemy, major general Carlos is not as excited as chief Omala.
Major general Carlos would like to rescue those brothers, but he also knows that whether those brothers can survive really depends on their lives.
Those who can survive are lucky. God is protecting them. I'm sorry if I can't survive. Even God has given up on you
However, major general Carlos is very distressed, but his main concern is not on the Marines. What he is most concerned about now is the extremely powerful weapons used by the Cherokees.
”What weapon is this? Is it the grenade thrown by the Grenadier? It looks like the explosion, but the Grenadier can't throw the grenade so far anyway! The distance of the first round of bombing was 200 meters. How could the grenadists throw the grenades so far? ”
Major general Carlos stares at the battlefield which is still howling in the distance with red eyes, but his heart is full of ups and downs.
Grenadier is a common service in European countries in this era. It refers to the infantry that can throw grenades.
The grenades of this era are not like the grenades of later generations or the homemade grenades made by stone bears. The grenades thrown by grenadists in this era are really similar to those fired by artillery.
The size and weight of this kind of hand grenade are similar to those of small shells. The weight of a hand grenade is more than four or five Jin. Therefore, it is necessary to select the soldiers with excellent arm strength among the infantry to throw it.
As early as in the eighth century, when Leo III of the esurian empire of Byzantine Empire was in power, the soldiers of Byzantine Empire began to throw pottery pots containing Greek fire to attack the enemy. That should be the rudiment of the Grenadier.
After nearly a thousand years of development, it did not become a conventional branch of the armed forces of all countries until the last century, that is, the 17th century.
However, as grenadiers, these soldiers need to throw grenades at the enemy in front of their own front. Therefore, in the European army, the title of Grenadier is regarded as an honorary title in recognition of soldiers' heroic fighting performance, which also shows that grenadiers are the elite and outstanding among infantry.
