Chapter 41 The Power of the Machine Gun

Soon, the enemy entered the minefield, and the soldiers rushing to the front were all fierce and aggressive. They jumped over the trenches and then started to step on various landmines and were blown up.

When the people behind saw this situation, they immediately panicked. Many people accidentally fell into the trench and were stabbed to death, and their morale was greatly hit.

But the team of 5000 people behind has already pressed up, and they have no way to retreat and can only continue to rush forward desperately.

After the first batch of enemies crossed the minefield, there were only more than 1000 left.

"Girl Ma, continue!"

"okay!"

After speaking, Ma Lan commanded the paper cranes to launch a second wave of throwing attacks, aiming at the enemy's follow-up team.This time the enemy learned to be smart, and prepared a lot of archers to shoot in the air, and shot down a lot of paper cranes.

Ma Lan's origami cranes pursued the ultimate carrying capacity, and did not pay special attention to defense. Anyway, there were many origami cranes behind, and she stacked thousands of them that day.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, James gave an order, and the machine gun positions on the left and right emitted long tongues of flame and began to shoot cross-fire.

da da da da...

Dense bullets shoot at the enemy quickly, their armor is powerless to stop modern bullets, and even one bullet can penetrate several people in a row.

The 1000 enemy troops lost 80.00% in one fell swoop, and the remaining people were frightened and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, and many people were trampled by the team coming up from behind. The scene was extremely chaotic!
Lin Ruofan and Wu Di sat in the headquarters and watched, both smoking deeply.

Lin Ruofan sighed, "This is clearly a massacre..."

"That's right, using cold weapons against modern weapons is undoubtedly courting death."

"Hey, I really hope there will be no more wars in this world."

Wu Di smiled, and then said, "In my opinion, to avoid a war, one must have enough strength to make the enemy dare not touch it. Perhaps this is the truth behind the "Soldiers that Surrender without Fighting" in the Art of War."

It took less than 20 minutes to start the battle, and the enemy's 1-strong team was running out. The battlefield was full of enemy corpses.

The enemy also tried to attack with long-range bows and arrows. James had anticipated this move a long time ago, and deliberately arranged the position in this place, which happened to be within the range of the enemy's reach.

There were also many bows and arrows shot at the enemy's corpses, but they couldn't touch the side of the position, and even if they could be shot, there would be shield soldiers blocking them.James estimated that the enemy commander would be very desperate to see this scene.

The enemy commander was still not reconciled, and once again sent a team of 5000 people to rush forward.The minefield has basically been trampled out, so the team of 5000 people easily rushed to the front of the position by stamping on the corpses.

Da da da da!The machine gun positions fired again, almost non-stop.

After the enemy finally ordered a retreat after losing 2000 soldiers, James ordered the machine guns to stop firing and stop chasing the enemy from behind.

Then, as James expected, the enemy completely gave up the middle road, leaving only a small part to guard the camp, and the other teams began to spread out to the left and right wings.

James immediately ordered the transfer of the two machine gun positions, which were assigned to the left and right wings respectively. Because the battle on the right was more difficult, James himself went to the right wing.

This time, the generals of the Western countries were all in awe after seeing James, and they no longer had the disdain and questioning attitude before, and completely obeyed his command.

James ordered the melee soldiers at the front to retreat quickly, and at the same time let the machine guns and bows and arrows cover and suppress, killing a lot of the enemy's vital forces at once.

Tian Ye was tired and out of breath. The enemies here were extremely ferocious. He had been using the Immobilization Talisman continuously since the beginning of the battle. If not, the enemy might have broken through the position in one go.The generals of the Western countries are still afraid at this time.

James looked towards the central position. Because the battle was extremely fierce, the enemy troops on the central road had completely withdrawn, and all the remaining troops had been dispersed to the two wings.

James ordered only 100 soldiers to stay in the central position for investigation, and the remaining 400 soldiers went to the right wing for support, and then asked Lin Ruofan and Ma Lan to go to the left side to help.

Signal flares bloomed in the night sky one after another. James' superb command level and advanced communication methods changed the situation on the battlefield. The huge number advantage that the enemy had previously had disappeared now.

Seeing that the situation was over, the enemy's commander-in-chief ordered the army to start retreating.

The original combat objective had been achieved at this time, but it was unexpected that the armies of the two countries were gathering soldiers to prepare for a counterattack, which was immediately opposed by James.

The commanders of the coalition forces gathered temporarily to discuss countermeasures.

James pointed on the map and said, "Although the enemy is defeated, the enemy commander is very powerful. I have observed their retreat route just now, and it is not a straight line. The terrain they pass through is very suitable for defense. Fight back."

Lin Ruofan looked at the location James pointed out on the map, and it was indeed reasonable. Although the enemy was defeated, their morale had not been damaged too much. At this time, they still wanted to lure them to fight back to win the round.

A certain general said, "The enemy's attack has already lost half of their losses. This is a god-given opportunity to solve the war with one effort. If we give up the attack now, we will have no such opportunity."

James immediately retorted, "As the saying goes, you can't chase after the poor. If you push the enemy into a hurry, the soldiers will definitely burst out their potential, and the gain will outweigh the loss. And the enemy is obviously tempting us, just waiting for us to take the bait!"

The general also retorted, "Although the enemy has suffered heavy losses, they have not wavered at all. If they take a period of rest, they will come back!"

"Even so, we can't pursue it, and we don't have this item in our battle plan, we are not prepared at all!"

James looked at Xu Ning worriedly, hoping that he could speak up and help.In fact, Xu Ning couldn't bear it at this time. On the surface, now is indeed the best time to destroy the enemy in one go.

But our own side knows, and the enemy must also know that the outcome of this war depends on whether our generals can hold back. After all, James is only a temporary command of a combat staff officer, and the real military power is still in their hands. Lin Ruofan and the others couldn't stop them either.

Xu Ning thought for a while, and then said, "I think General James is right, but..."

After speaking, Xu Ning turned around and looked at James, his apologetic eyes suddenly became extremely firm, and then he changed the topic and said, "But I think this is a god-sent opportunity! It is worth taking the risk to try!"

James was so angry that he couldn't speak, he just sighed and muttered to himself, "Hey! Without you fighting like this, all the rare advantages will be lost!"

Lin Ruofan found the two emperors and tried to persuade them to order the army to give up the pursuit.After some hard-hearted persuasion, the two emperors decided to compromise the plan, let the large troops follow behind, and first send a group of 5000 people to pursue them. If everything goes well, they will go all out, and if not, they will withdraw.

Even this kind of plan was opposed by many generals, insisting that the impact of a team of 5000 people is too small, and it is time for the whole army to attack.

However, in the end it was carried out according to this plan.Moreover, Xu Ning volunteered to lead the team to set off. Before leaving, everyone drank a bowl of Zhuang Xingjiu.

Lin Ruofan shook his head and sighed, "Alcohol can build courage, but I don't know if it can change their fate."

Wu Di also said, "Yeah, I don't know how many people will never drink again."

Everyone looked at James together. He was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, and he was muttering softly, maybe he was praying.It was the first time for them to see this iron-blooded man so powerless.

Lin Ruofan walked up to James and handed him a cigarette, which was one of the few whole cigarettes, and then comforted, "Don't think too much, this is not something you can control."

James said, "If I were their commander, I would never let my soldiers die!"

Wu Di also came over and said, "Forget James, this fantasy city may not be the real world, maybe it's just a dream in the end."

It was Tian Ye who understood James' thoughts better and asked him, "Do you also want to support me?"

James looked up at the field and said unwillingly, "We are running out of ammunition after this battle. I'm afraid we won't be able to support a battlefield of ten thousand people. I can't let my soldiers take risks just to save them."

At this time, one of James' subordinates came over and said, "Major, we found some abnormalities in the enemy."

James said even more worriedly, "What's wrong?"

The soldier sent James a picture taken by a small drone, which surprised everyone!
Ma Lan's paper cranes shot down by enemy archers are "resurrected" again!

Ma Lan said in surprise, "What!? How is it possible!?"

Right now, Xu Ning led the army and has begun to march slowly, and most of the follow-ups are ready to attack and prepare to follow up slowly.

Everyone quickly ran to Xu Ning and explained the situation to him.

Xu Ning had already retreated a little at this time, so he naturally believed in everyone's words.

However, some Western generals who were traveling with him didn't take it seriously, and said, "The army has already set up its formation, and the arrow is on the string, so we have to move forward!"

With that said, the soldiers of the Western Kingdom began to follow their general.The Dongfang soldiers looked at Xu Ning blankly, waiting for his order.

Xu Ning sighed, and then said, "You heard it too...I...please just watch it more."
