Chapter 481 British cavalry VS Ming chariot (please subscribe, please vote)

The Ming army's chariots quickly broke through the barbed wire wire made by the British army, which was made of wooden stakes wrapped around the barbed wire. This kind of barbed wire wire is good for dealing with infantry and cavalry, but it is not good against tanks. Barbed wire fence

The armor of the tank is completely invulnerable, and the tank only needs to slam into the wooden poles wrapped around the barbed wire to break it! As long as dozens of tanks collide with the enemy's barbed wire line, not many tanks will be able to damage it.

A single stroke can break hundreds of wooden stakes. Without so many supporting wooden stakes, the barbed wire fence will naturally fall to the ground.

While these tanks hit the barbed wire fence, they could also use their own 30mm rapid-fire cannons, 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns and 7.5mm heavy machine guns to strafe the British trench lines.

Seeing that their own barbed wire mesh lines were in danger, the British troops, Indian troops, and traitor soldiers in the British trenches also reacted. They all shouted in fear and crazily, and desperately fired rifles and rifles at these armored tanks.

Machine gun bullets. But these bullets couldn't penetrate the front armor of the tank at all, they just clanked and splashed sparks on the steel plate.

On the Ming army's side, there are still some tanks equipped with 120mm mortars, and they are just waiting for this moment!

This kind of armored vehicle equipped with a mortar has no turret. The self-defense weapon is a 7.5mm machine gun installed on the roof. The rear half of its body has no roof, and an extended gun barrel is installed in the open compartment.

120 mm heavy mortars. These tanks are called A-11 self-propelled mortar vehicles. They will not participate in the battle of hitting wooden piles and suppressing the British positions with direct fire, but will hide relatively far back.

position to bombard the British trenches.

Of course, this relatively rear position is actually very close to the British trenches. Therefore, the effect of the artillery bombardment is also very ideal! 120mm shells landed in the British trenches one after another, blowing up the entire trench.

The British troops, Indian troops, and thieves' troops inside were bloody and bloody!

There were also some 2.75-inch infantry guns on the British position, which could still pose a certain threat to tanks. Soon several tanks were directly hit and exploded by 2.75-inch shells. The British troops who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim.

There was a cheer: "God save the King!"

Yang Xiuqing, who was sitting in the turret of an A-11 assault gun truck, suddenly heard someone calling him. He followed the sound and saw at a glance an artillery base with muzzle flash. He quickly turned the muzzle and fired it.

The 30mm rapid-fire cannon was aimed at the exposed fort, with a few rounds of 30mm shells. It probably happened to explode the 2.75-inch shells. Only a loud "rumbling" sound was heard. The fort along with the 2.75-inch shells inside

The inch gun battery and the artillery were all blown to pieces!

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xiuqing discovered another identical artillery fort, and the muzzle of a 2.75-inch gun was poked out, so he turned the muzzle of the 2.75-inch gun he controlled and aimed at it with a few 30-inch guns.

mm shells quickly destroyed the 2.75-inch gun.

There is not just one assault gun truck on the battlefield today, but dozens of them! They all show off their power together. How can the 2.75-inch guns on the British trench line withstand their fire? Soon they are all silenced.

Already.

Intense firepower swept across the entire front, and the British army could not raise its head at all. At this time, the combat engineers on the armored transport vehicle jumped down, removed the logs tied to the tank, and let them roll down to the trench filled with corpses.

Inside, passages were quickly filled in, and several rows of obstacles across Highway 1 were also cleared.

The tanks blocked by the trenches once again rushed through the trenches at full power and rushed towards the key Highway 1. Armored infantrymen carrying assault rifles followed closely, constantly firing with powerful assault rifles.

The British army was still resisting. Some Indian soldiers showed flexible loyalty at this time. Seeing the menacing Ming army, they all dropped their rifles and raised their hands high.

When the Indian soldiers betrayed the emperor and raised their hands to surrender, the traitor soldiers on the front line also began to flee. Compared to the British Empire, they obviously loved their lives more. I saw these people dragging their rifles and flying towards the rear.

The horse ran to where the horse was, shouting: "lost, defeated" as he ran.

The British soldiers from the British Isles were the most courageous. At this time, they could still fight and retreat along the communication trenches and retreat towards their own prepared positions. However, the bullets from the assault rifles chased their butts and killed them.

Most of them fell down in the cold trench.

The Ming Army's tank group began a deep assault along Highway 1 towards the British front line, and soon rushed into a British artillery position that had been blasted by Dragon 2 fighter jets, crushing the remaining 6-inch

and 3.7-inch artillery. Following the tanks and armored infantry, there were many ordinary infantry. They rushed into the British trenches, wiped out the remaining British soldiers, and then left some people to redefine, while others continued along the communication trenches.

Advance, using rifles with bayonets, assault rifles and grenades to continuously drive the British troops out of their positions.

On the "Nanjing" where the headquarters of the Ming Army's Southern Continental Army was located, after receiving the good news that the tank group had achieved a breakthrough, General Mu Zhongjun was so excited that he laughed to the sky, and then with a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Infantry

The 1st Division, the 4th Infantry Division, and the 38th Infantry Division. All attack! Launch a fierce attack across the board. We must act like a magnet to attract the enemy troops in front of us, and we must not let them evacuate easily!"

At the same time, at the other end of the battle line, the temporary headquarters of General Hugh Gough was in chaos. From General Hugh Gough on down, there were undecided opinions, while they were hurriedly collecting reserves and trying to pass a cavalry battle.

Counterattack to defeat the enemy in front of them. At the same time, they are planning to retreat - Hugh Gough's army is now not only facing the danger of the enemy breaking through the defense line, but also facing the difficulty of lack of ammunition and supplies. The supply column from Sydney will not be felt until 5 days later.

!The ammunition in the hands of Goff's army cannot sustain five days of high-intensity fighting anyway.

If the ammunition is exhausted, how will the battle be fought?

It has to be said that the Ming army picked a good time to launch a counterattack!

However, Hugh Goff's 21 divisions are currently in a posture of temporarily switching to defense after a massive attack. The large forces have been deployed and are intertwined with the Ming army. It is not possible to retreat if you want to. If you don't

Pay attention if the retreat turns into a rout, then all 21 divisions will be lost to the west of Taibultop Mountain - after all, the Ming army currently launching an attack has a large number of armored vehicles, and these armored vehicles have 6 wheels. And the war horses only have 6 wheels.

4 legs.

A 4-legged war horse cannot outrun a 6-wheeled chariot!

Without these 21 divisions, the British army in Australia would be completely ruined. Thinking that he might be the sinner who lost the entire continent, Hugh Gough slammed the table and stood up.

The surrounding staff officers were all startled by his "slap", and they all turned to look at him.

Hugh Goff gritted his teeth and said: "Deploy the reserve team to launch a counterattack against the Ming Army's armored convoy on Highway 1!"

His chief of staff, Brigadier General Clinton, was stunned: "General, are you going to use a cavalry group to counterattack an armored vehicle group? Our cavalry may not have the means to fight against an armored vehicle group."

Hugh Gough nodded, "Yes! We must block the gap now. No matter what troops we use, we cannot let the Ming Army's armored convoy continue to break through along Highway 1. Once they penetrate our defense line, there will be at least 16

The division's troops will be cut in two by the enemy, and their retreat will be lost. Our supply center along Highway 1 will also be captured by the enemy. By then, all 200,000 British troops will collapse due to lack of supplies.

!

So, let our 1st Australian Cavalry Corps, 2nd Cavalry Division and 7th Cavalry Division attack now. God will bless them!"
