Chapter 89 The Yingyi inside heard that you are surrounded! (Please collect and read)
I saw that the few "Three Brothers" on the city wall were killed one by one by the "yellow mantle" soldiers with pigtails who dropped from the sky with rifles, or were knocked down by bullets fired from the airship, or simply screamed.
He tried to escape. The battle-hardened Major General Elstofen finally came to his senses!
He quickly turned around and ran to his desk. He first picked up the headset of a Bakelite telephone produced by "Shingdentsu" that was placed on his desk. Then he shook the handle of the telephone vigorously, trying to answer the call.
He contacted the headquarters of the three infantry battalions stationed in the east, west and south of Peshawar, but after shaking for a long time, there was no response!
An ominous premonition immediately enveloped Major General Elsfinton's mind.
He put down the phone receiver, opened a drawer with trembling hands, took out a revolver inside, loaded it with bullets, and then rushed out of his office with the pistol and went straight to the cafeteria. In the blink of an eye, he
In no time, he had already rushed into a restaurant filled with frightened "Third Brother".
The "Third Brothers" didn't notice Elsfinton's arrival. They just stared out the window and listened - watching the fireballs rising from time to time outside, listening to bursts of gunshots, explosions, shouts and screams outside.
Everyone was stunned, but no one thought of taking up arms to resist the invaders!
Major General Elsfinton was so angry when he saw this scene!
These Indian mercenaries are carrying and eating the East India Company's goods. They even know how to cheat and cheat when they are training and on duty, and they are constantly fighting over religious issues. That's all. Now the enemies are all
The door is open, you despicable, shameless, dirty, cowardly Indians don’t even know how to fight!
Thinking of this, Major General Elsfinton raised his revolver and fired three shots at the ceiling. Then he saw most of the "third brothers" in the room bravely raised their arms.
When Elsfinton saw the raised arms in this room, he almost lost his breath!
But there is nothing he can do now. He does not have the elite British soldiers who fought against Emperor Napoleon back then. What he does have are these Indian mercenaries, so he can only make do with them.
"Bastard!" Elsfenton roared angrily, "You cowards, stupid pigs, what can you do with your hands raised in the air? Do you want to surrender? Don't you hurry up and fight, don't you want to taste my bullets?
"
As he spoke, he pointed his black gun at a group of Indian Asans with their hands raised in the air. Only then did the three brothers realize that it was not the "Yellow Jacketed Soldiers" who came, but their commander, so they were not surrendering yet.
when.
Since we can't surrender yet, we can only reluctantly defend the British Empire.
"Long live the British Empire!"
"Long live the King of England!"
Immediately, the quick-thinking "Third Brother" began to shout long live. This change came so fast that Major General Elsfinton was speechless.
But he couldn't shoot at a group of people who said "Long live the King of England"! This was done by Napoleon's people in the past.
"Quick, get the gun and bullets!" Elsfenton ordered loudly, "Then go up to the city wall and fight!"
"Yes, sir!"
"As you command, sir!"
A group of "Third Brothers" behaved very actively under the guns and orders of Major General Elsfinton. They didn't even eat, they all held their heads high and even rushed out of the house. This morale was amazing to see.
It's almost time to catch up with the white-skinned British soldiers.
Just when these "third brothers" mustered up the courage to prepare to attack, several more white-skinned officers rushed over in a panic. With the command of these officers, these "third brothers" immediately became organized.
Major General Elsfinton was also a little relieved. He entered the restaurant where the Hindu soldiers ate, but now he didn't care about going to the restaurant of the Tianfang soldiers to "shake people". He first held these letters "Shiva"
"Go get your gun and ammunition!"
I hope it’s not too late!
Thinking of this, the British major general took a pistol and led a group of "third brothers" straight to their dormitory to get the guns. After getting the guns, they had to go to the ammunition depot in the basement to get bullets.
While Elsfinton was organizing resistance, the battle on the walls of Peshawar Fort was coming to an end.
After Wu Zhenfa and others were rappelled down by the first batch of ropes, more than a hundred people were rappelled down from several other airships. Each of them held a knife in one hand and a shell gun in the other. They were really fiercer than a tiger descending from the mountain. On the city wall
, where has the Asan soldier guarding the watchtower seen such a posture?
In their consciousness, the advantage of firepower and equipment has always been on their side! They will only rely on the fire support provided by the white artillery of the East India Company, plus the support of their water-cooled machine guns, to deal with only a small number of rear-end troops.
The armies of Indian princes mainly rely on front-loading guns to fight. Now the enemy is falling from the sky, and there are also machine guns mounted on airships. The rifles are firing condescendingly, and they are also dropping bombs downwards - it is hard to say what they will explode.
But seeing that fireball and hearing that sound was really scary.
Faced with such an enemy, it would be enough to just fire a few shots to match the few military pay of the East India Company. Who would really fight against them?
Except for the dozen or so unlucky guys who were muddle-headedly beaten to death at the beginning, most of the other Asan soldiers guarding the city wall and the towers at the four corners of the city wall wisely surrendered.
So before Elsfenton's men could get their guns and ammunition, the battle on the city wall was over!
Of course, the guns and ammunition of the British and Indian troops were stored separately, and the British and Indian troops were very strict with their bullets. They were all personally guarded by white officers and soldiers. Fortunately, the white officers and soldiers who guarded the ammunition depot were very responsible.
, did not leave their posts without authorization because of the evening banquet. However, they also refused to hand over bullets to a group of noisy "third brothers", even though there was loud gunfire outside and explosions were heard from time to time.
But the rules are the rules and must be obeyed. Moreover, who knew that it was the enemy who came to attack, but the Indian Asan rebelled?
It seems that the latter is more likely!
Therefore, it was not until Elsfinton appeared in person in front of the white officers and soldiers that the hungry "Third Brother" soldiers received bullets and ten rounds each - this was also stipulated in the doctrine, and they had to be counted.
You can't just grab them one by one! It's like this every time you shoot, otherwise the "Third Brother" soldier may have bullets in his hands. If he has guns and bullets, he may rebel.
But the number of rounds was a bit delayed. When they received the ammunition one by one, rushed out of the barracks building, and wanted to support the defenders on the city wall, not only the city wall was completely in the hands of Dajin soldiers
Inside, even the four city gates have been occupied by those "yellow mandarin airborne weapons soldiers". Moreover, these yellow mandarin jackets also turned the captured machine guns in the direction and set them up inward!
As a result, as soon as they set up the machine guns, Major General Elsfinton led a large group of "Third Brothers" out of a square building with a Tianfang Cult-style dome in the middle of the fortress.
This is probably the legendary "hitting the muzzle of the gun"!
Pingxi Wang Wu Zhenfa, who had just killed three "third brothers" with a machete, happened to be standing next to a water-cooled machine gun. When he saw a large group of "third brothers" rushing out with rifles, he was immediately excited to kill.
He got up and immediately blasted away a "yellow man in jacket" who was playing with a machine gun. Then he personally operated the machine gun and pointed it at the "Third Brother" below, firing a round of fire!
With a burst of piercing "click-click" gunfire, the hot bullets formed a deadly tongue of flames and cut down the "third brother" who was at the front like a piece of grass!
Seeing the dead bodies and blood flowing all over the ground, let alone "Third Brother", even Alsfenton, who had fought in the Napoleonic Wars, was scared and hurriedly retreated into the building to hide from the bullets. However, those airborne troops in yellow jackets from the Great Jin Kingdom
Without letting him hide for too long, he had already reached his upstairs and started blowing up the floor with grenades.
Only a loud "boom" was heard, and a large hole was blown out in the ceiling of a corridor outside the lobby on the first floor where Elsfinton was located. The air wave of the explosion was also carrying the air that appeared from nowhere.
The smoke and dust rushed directly into the lobby, making Elsfenton's head and face covered with ash, and even his mouth was filled with ash. Before he could spit out the ash, it pierced his ears. "
Curry English”.
"The British and foreigners inside have heard that you have been surrounded. Come out and surrender quickly."
