Chapter 642: Sweeping Cavalry
Chu Guo learned the news a few days later. However, the people of Chu had long been aware of this matter. Their news comes from Qin's newspaper.
The popularity of telegraph. In particular, newspaper offices are set up at traffic junctions. Newspapers transmit news content via telegram. Then uniformly print according to the news content. In this way, the news update speed is greatly accelerated. The speed of the telegram far exceeds the propagation speed of the traditional post. The senior officials of Chu State just got the news. And Qin's newspapers have spread the news all over the world. This difference in information delivery. It directly determines the difference in the response mechanism between the two countries.
The news of the heavy losses of Chu's navy came. There was a sensation in the state of Chu. The North Korean and Chinese officials were at a loss. Xiang Yan had expected such a result long ago. But he did not expect Qin Guo to attack from the sky. This sneak attack gave Xiang Yan a bad feeling. This feeling comes from the air. Because ascending to heaven is difficult for Chu State. This heavenly threat. Xiang Yan can only do nothing. The future attack on Qin is likely to come from heaven. Rather than the millions on the ground.
The North Korean and Chinese officials are obviously not very interested in how to defeat them. What they are interested in is Qin's attitude. North Korea is divided into many factions. Among them, there is one party for peace talks. They occupy a large proportion in the DPRK. They not only have positions of power. The important thing is. They represent the emerging economic power of Chu.
Under the influence of water pirates. They wantonly annexed a series of control rights of mineral mining, tea planting, silk, **** and so on in the Jiujiang area. However, the small and wealthy local households who had gone bankrupt or were merged by them.
Waterway transportation is impassable. The goods cannot be transported. It is impossible to recover the initial investment if it cannot be shipped out. Because of transportation. The purchase price fell to a freezing point. The price has fallen drastically below the cost line. In order to maintain production. The usury, represented by the big landlords, took the opportunity to give out loans. Then **** it over. This method is much more than robbing civilization.
On the one hand, the price of Qin's raw materials soared. On the other hand, Chu's raw materials are surprisingly low. This situation of extreme divergence will inevitably not last long. In fact. For those big landlords who were robbed by various means, the nobles had already considered compromising with the Qin State. They completed the monopoly during this period. Now they need to restore the original price for profit.
In this atmosphere. The voice of Chu State discussing peace was very loud. Their excuse was that Qin Guogu attacked Shouchun from the Yangtze River directly from behind. Such a situation is too unfavorable to Chu State. To create an atmosphere. They borrowed the media power of Qin's newspapers to spread the effects of Qin's bombing. This caused a lot of panic. For a while, Chu Guo couldn't make a decision because of panic.
And in the Northwest Territories. The Allied forces opened up a second large-scale battlefield. On the battlefield of the Northern Western Region, more than 15,000 people in the Qin, Zhao, and Han Kingdoms began to enter the Northern Western Region from the mouth of the Northern Western Region. More than 15,000 people are well equipped. They have ten thousand cavalry. Other soldiers also have carriages, camels, and donkey carts as vehicles. In short. This is a very mobile force.
And on the side of Tianshan Mountain. Team after team of paratroopers will cross the Tianshan Mountains and enter the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains as mountain troops. This is a surprise soldier. The number is not very large. There are only more than a thousand people. But there are many machine guns. Each company has four to six machine guns. A platoon is also specially organized as a machine gun fire platoon. This means that the machine gun is already in a central position in infantry firepower.
"It seems that we are in some trouble. Order the machine gun platoon to arrange the machine guns on the high ground over there. The other two platoons are centered on this to spread out to both sides. Action!" Li Zuoche led his paratrooper company to take the lead over the Tianshan Mountains. He gave up the idea of a triumphant march with the big army. He really didn't want to see his subordinates participating in such acts of war. The sense of honor of the soldiers made him take the initiative to put forward the idea of attacking and fighting northward. Under his initiative request. The Allied forces approved his idea. And drew out other paratrooper units to enter the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
The most important thing in mountain warfare is the supply of materials. But the emergence of the donkey solved this problem. The paratrooper mountain troops are equipped with half of the donkeys used to transport equipment and supplies. Among them, machine gun bullets accounted for half. The soldier's marching rucksack contained one and a half times as much ammunition.
The paratroopers quickly expanded their tactical formation. Compared with Qin Jun's standing shooting. Zhao Jun took the initiative to change the tactical form. Change the standing position to the prone position. This can effectively prevent being killed and injured by the opponent's bow. The rifle was changed to a rear-pull rotary bolt. The paratroopers are equipped with the most advanced weapons. But this one does not have a magazine. This is an important factor that causes the machine gun to be in the center.
Li Zuoche had bad luck. Still deliberately let him establish such a surprise attack. A group of Wusun people with more than five thousand cavalry troops is returning. They are at war with the Yueshi people. The Wusun people have successfully expelled the Yueshi people. They are now returning to the tribe. Then collectively moved westward to occupy good pastures.
Li Zuoche encountered such a force just after crossing the Tianshan Mountains. His subordinates suggested that he let these Western Regions go. But Li Zuoche thought it was not possible. And I don't want to agree.
His observation. The Wusun people were a bit tired. The flag is skewed. The cavalry formation is also very scattered. Obviously this is a tired teacher. And there is another advantage. That is suddenness. The Wusun people never thought that they would encounter a blow here.
Li Zuoche's confidence is based on the firepower of the machine gun. Not only is it lethal. The important thing is the shooting distance. Smokeless gunpowder increases this attack range. For Wusun people. This distance is out of reach.
"Bang" a bullet shot out. A 35-caliber rifle shot into the head of a leader of the opponent three hundred steps away. The head hit the brain on the spot. The chief fell to the ground as if he had drawn his soul. Zhao Jun performed their excellent shooting skills.
With a gunshot. Five machine guns began to roar. All the soldiers took aim and fire calmly. Bouncing. Three hundred steps This is an absolutely safe area. The people of the Western Regions did not have any weapon that reached such a range.
The Wusun people were disrupted by the sudden blow. A large number of people were killed without knowing what happened. Many people fell to the ground and were trampled on by their own horses. The cavalry horses were frightened, causing a larger scale of chaos and trampling.
Paratroopers can aim and shoot at will. The machine gun formed a rain of bullets and intensively shot the opposing cavalry. The battlefield turned into a unilateral slaughter for a while. The combat distance between the two sides was kept at about three hundred paces. The weapons in the hands of paratroopers can easily hit cavalry targets 400 steps away. The cavalry did not have an effective weapon to change this situation.
