Hearst led more than a dozen of his men crawling in the mud, which was already the outermost part of the Huaxing army's defensive line.A team of Huaxing troops shuttled in the rain, and the cowhide boots made a "popping" sound in the rain, which made people's hearts can't help but mention the air.But fortunately, no one noticed them, and Hirst felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and after the footsteps of Hua Xingjun were far away, he got up and ran forward with his men."
There is an enemy" At this time, a shout suddenly came from behind them.Although Hearst couldn't understand Chinese, he knew in his heart that he must have been discovered by Hua Xingjun."
Bang, bang, bang" A dense burst of gunfire confirmed Hearst's judgment, and he didn't think about it, and ran forward desperately.At this moment, he didn't even have time to give orders to his subordinates.The bullet slashed through the rain, making a "whoosh, whoosh" sound in his ears.His heart was almost nervous and he was about to cry out, secretly praying that God would help his people through this difficult time.From time to time, the wails of his soldiers came from behind him, and Hurst didn't even bother to turn his head back, and just rushed forward with a tense body.I don't know how long I ran, but the gunfire finally stopped.When Hearst looked back, he was the only one left beside him."
God, I escaped, I escaped" For a while, his body was covered with cold sweat, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground and cried.This feeling of being between life and death, one step away from seeing God, made his spirit always on the verge of collapse.Now that he had finally escaped to safety, Hearst's excitement was understandable.He found a big tree to shelter from the rain, and waited under the tree for more than ten minutes without a single figure coming.He expected that all the more than 100 people he brought out were killed, and at this time he did not wait anymore and went directly to the south.I just hope to bring in reinforcements as soon as possible to rescue all the brothers who are besieged in the city.At the command post of the Huaxing Army, Zhang Cheng entered the gate, took off the raincoat on his body, and hit it on the hanger at the door.This command post is a private house outside the city, the owner is supposed to be a wealthy family, and the furniture in the house is in the style of foreigners."
Commander, it's all done.The British army broke through more than 100 people in total, let go of more than a dozen, and all the rest were killed" Zhang Derivation smiled and poured a cup of hot water, and Xiao Yu took a sip to warm up his body."
Very well, now just waiting for reinforcements from the British army to come.Tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack on the mosque, and we and the British army in Chittagong should also make a decision," Wu Xuming chuckled and assigned the task while reviewing the military newspaper in his hand."
What good news makes the commander happy like this" Zhang Yuan nodded, looking at Wu Xuming's happy appearance, he couldn't help but ask curiously."
News has just come from the second front that Yang Jincong has captured Bihar with a two-way army.The logistics supply base of the British army is now under our control," Wu Xuming handed the military report in his hand to Zhang Yuan, glanced at it, got up and refilled some hot water in the teacup.Bihar is the northern state of India, close to Bengal and the northern gateway of Bangladesh.The state has the most fertile land within India with a Ganges River running through it, traditionally divided into the northern Gangetic plain and the southern Gangetic plain.As a result, it became a logistical supply base for the British army, where large quantities of grain were grown and transported from here to other states.The British army regarded this place as their big rear, and after the Huaxing army moved south from Nepal, Gordon immediately transferred 100,000 Indian soldiers from the north to garrison here.The territory of Bihar is flat and there is no danger from the south to the north.Yang Jincong directly led two armies to approach Patna, the capital of Bihar, and the defenders here were still the fierce Indian Sikhs.They had just withdrawn from the northern front and defended on the border of Pakistan, and had never given the Hui an advantage.This time, the Huaxing army attacked in a big way, and they thought that these Orientals were the same, and they didn't take it to heart.The two sides fought a great battle outside the capital of Bihar, and the Indian army of more than 100,000 people spread out within a range of tens of kilometers, completely encircling the Huaxing army in a half-moon shape.Originally, the Huaxing Army had only two armies of more than 70,000 troops, and one division was sent to Rajasthan, with a total of only more than 60,000 troops, twice as many as the Indian army.After the battle began, the Indian army lined up in a neat formation, stepping on the drum beat of the snare drum and approaching the Huaxing army step by step.Yang Jincong was not in a hurry, and he also defended in a half-moon shape, without taking the Indian army into account at all.When he pacified Sichuan, he had already fought with the Taiping army in this kind of breech-loading rifle against breech-loading rifle, and he was also familiar with the tactics used by breech-loading rifles.They relied on nothing more than a neat array of guns, forming a dense fire cover.In order to compensate for the lack of power and accuracy, it is always important to free up time for reloading ammunition.This gun formation is the nemesis of the dense charge against the sex, but in the face of the Huaxing army armed with breech-loading rifles.That is, it automatically hit the muzzle of the gun and came to die in vain.After the Indian army launched an attack, the Huaxing army spread out in the shape of a half-moon according to the straggler formation, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the Indian army.Mortar battalions and machine-gun batteries of the regiments were also prepared in position.Just wait for Yang Jincong's order, and immediately print the army's flesh and blood.Yang Jincong was not in a hurry to shoot back, but put the Indian army at a distance of 400 meters before issuing the military order to shoot.The breech rifles held by the Indian army have an effective firing range of more than 300 meters.Yang Jincong calculated that their commander would not order a retreat if they were attacked at this distance.It's the equivalent of a piece of cake right in front of you, and you can eat it another hundred meters, and no one will resist the temptation.This distance of 100 meters is the death line set by Yang Jincong for the Indian army.After the Indian army rushed to a distance of 400 meters, all the positions of the Huaxing army burst into gunfire.At first, the Indian army thought that the Huaxing army was scared, and actually fought on the ground.But as rows of bullets flew out of the muzzles of the Huaxing army, the Indian army fell one after another.They finally understood that the Huaxing Army must be using the first new breech rifle.Indian commanders had also seen this rifle, and the British were equipped with this kind of firearm, but in order to prevent them from disobedient, they were not equipped with new rifles.The Indian commander was shocked, but he was not afraid in the slightest.After all, their forces accounted for the majority, and they were almost surrounded by the Huaxing Legion on the battlefield.Sure enough, as Yang Jincong expected, the commander of the Indian army could not let go of this cake, and still ordered the troops to brave the rain of bullets to move towards a distance of 300 meters.Hua Xingjun was like encountering a group of fools, knowing that the bullets were flying in front of him, but he still straightened his chest and stepped forward.The soldiers kept pulling the bolt, loaded the bullet, and then pulled the trigger in their hands.The bullets were fired one by one, and the muzzle of the guns was aimed at the dense gun formation of the Indian army, because the gun array was so dense that the bullets flew out and there were almost no bullets.The Sikh soldiers were far more persistent than the Huaxing army imagined, no matter how they went all the way or backwards, as long as the commander did not give the order to retreat, the soldiers behind still marched forward with guns without fear
