Fox of France

About 300 independent troops swaggered past Mejidi's post. All the people in the outpost came out. They all had empty hands, showing innocent and honest smiles to the soldiers of the Independence Army who passed in front of them.

The soldiers didn't even look at the gang of black fur dogs, they continued to walk past these black fur dogs without making a sound. They know that these black dogs look harmless to a person and animal now, but once upon a time they harmed the common people, even more vicious than the British devils. The reason why they appear so docile now is only because the revolutionary people have guns in their hands.

"If the people don't have shotguns in their hands, they are vicious wolves; once we pick up shotguns, they are all pugs. Therefore, without the people's army, there will be nothing for the people!" Looking at those who showed a begging look In the security forces, many soldiers couldn't help but think of this sentence they learned when they were studying politics.

But this is not the time to express emotion, there are still combat missions ahead.

The soldiers of the Independence Army walked past the outpost of the "Security Army" non-stop. Only a few people left the team and walked towards the "security army" standing there.

Roy, the outpost commander, saw that the one he recognized was Edward, the captain of the local team.

"Captain! Why are you free to come here today?" Outpost Commander Roy hurried up to greet him, nodding and bowing authentically.

"Have you seen it all?" Edward pointed at the passing troops.

"Yes, yes." Roy didn't understand what Edward meant, but according to his experience in dealing with the British, whether he understood it or not, it was right to say "yes" first.

"What is it! Yes, yes." Edward said, "Do you know what you want to do?"

"I don't know, I don't want to know, I dare not know." Roy said quickly. Can this kind of thing be known casually? If you know too much, isn't that troublesome?

"I won't hide it from you, we have an important military operation. We are worried that once we leave, you will immediately report to the British..." Edward said.

"Captain, how can it be? Brother, I am also Irish. Don't look at me wearing black dog fur, but I have an Irish heart in my heart. How can we do such a heartless thing? Everyone said, right? ?”

Naturally, the other "Security Force" soldiers rushed to express that everyone was a real Irishman who supported Irish independence.

"Captain, look, you have not dealt with us once or twice, you still can't trust me brother? When did I lie to you brother?"

"Come on, I just can't trust you. The batch of gunpowder you gave me last time is completely wrong! So today, I and my brother are here to stare at you. Don't go there, just stay here. When the bell is fired over there, I will naturally let you go." Edward said.

"That's it? What is this? Everyone just sit here, and we won't make trouble." Roy said to the soldiers under his command. Then he turned his head around again and said to Edward: "Captain, the gunpowder matter, it's really not me who cheated everyone. How dare I? It's actually those British guys who gave it to us, and it's a defective product. This matter is really not good. Blame me. But captain, I can’t watch you suffer, can I? Next month, I’ll give you two more guns, and you can see that this matter is evened out, okay?”

The troops of the Independent Army continued to advance, and soon the railway line appeared in front of them. Along the railway line, there is a barbed wire fence at a distance of about 100 meters on both sides. Inside the barbed wire fence is a minefield. Every other distance, there is a fortress. These fortresses are relatively simple, and their main function is to delay the attack of the independent army and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements.

As for the reinforcements, the fastest response was naturally the armored train. Generally speaking, as long as the British troops in the fortress can block the Irish for half an hour, the British armored train can arrive. Each armored train has four guns and can carry more than three hundred infantry. This is enough to turn the tide of battle most of the time.

At this time, as soon as the British in the bunker discovered the Independence Army, they quickly called the nearest station and asked them to send an armored train to support immediately.

The Independent Army immediately launched its formation and prepared to attack. They first used grenades to fire smoke bombs at the British fortress to block the sight of the British. At the same time, the combat engineers used the cover of smoke bombs to quickly destroy the barbed wire with blasting tubes.

At this time, the grenadier from the British side also hit. Although the smoke bombs affected their aiming, the British had already checked the area and conducted test firings. In addition to this fortress, the British still have one or two hidden observation points farther away from the railway. Through these observation points, the location of the Independence Army can be reported, and then the British grenade launchers can Do a blind shot. Therefore, although the smoke bombs caused a certain amount of interference to the firepower of the British army, the firepower of the British army is still quite effective.

So this meal of grenades knocked down eight or nine Independence Army fighters. But the power of the grenadier is limited, so it still can't suppress the independent army.

After the barbed wire was destroyed, the Independent Army fired mine-clearing rockets and quickly opened up a passage in the minefield—since the French used bumper boats to forcibly open the way, the level of weapons and equipment of the Independent Army has obviously increased steadily. .

At this time, the five cannons were all ready to fire. The range of these cannons is significantly longer than that of grenades, and their penetration and destructive power against bunkers and the like are also significantly higher than those of recoilless guns. So as soon as they started shooting, the British bunker was immediately suppressed.

The Independent Army took the opportunity to rush up, and then the British in the bunker used a stick and tied a white shirt and lifted it out.

After taking down the bunker, everyone began to dismantle the rails—these things can be used a lot when they are taken back. On the other side, the artillerymen began to change the barrels of the two cannons and pulled them back a little bit. At the same time, some people used leaves to camouflage the cannons. At this time, a black column of smoke rose from a distance—it was the arrival of the British armored train.

"Comrades, don't worry, that thing looks powerful, and it can't withstand our cannons at all. If you don't teach them a lesson, they really think they can fight. Well, I'll emphasize it again, a little while When the train slowed down, No. 1 and No. 2 fired on the power car, and the other guns fired on the troop car with armor-piercing rounds."
