Latest website: Washington has fallen...well...it's the state of Washington,
The fall of Portland, the Oregon crisis, the crisis in the West...all for the West, all for the United States!
Under the slogan "Everything for the West", all materials and everything tended to the West. Trains loaded with military supplies and soldiers were running on the Pacific Railway, just as President Cleveland said in Congress
The promise we made is the same - we will build an unprecedented line of defense that will block all enemy attacks.
In order to stop the Ming Empire's attack, of course the most advanced weapons, such as the Maxim machine gun and the M1892 3-inch field gun, must be supplied to the west first.
Gary Bull had a very deep understanding of this. After withdrawing from Portland, he and his troops were incorporated into the National Guard, and soon they were supplemented with machine guns - one battalion was equipped with a full 6 machine guns.
In Portland, a regiment does not necessarily have so many machine guns. After possessing machine guns and mortars, they even used the mountainous terrain of Oregon to repel the Ming army's attacks many times. However, this did not stop the Ming army.
attack.
After the fall of Portland, Gallibull's troops were fighting all the way, and of course they were constantly retreating. And most of the time, they were retreating.
Once again, the order to retreat was suddenly issued. Yesterday, the division staff had just issued an order to build fortifications - to establish a second line of defense. But in the morning they received a call asking them to blow up roads and bridges during the retreat to prevent the enemy from retreating.
Stop the Imperial Army's attack.
When the engineers poured kerosene on the wooden bridge and prepared to set it on fire, Captain Harrison walked up to Gary Bull and asked.
"Major, do you know why we need to retreat?"
Facing the inquiry from his subordinates, Gary Bull said.
"I heard that the Ming Dynasty invested tanks in Salem. There are hundreds of tanks. If we don't retreat, we may not have a chance to retreat. After all, people can't outrun tanks."
And it can't beat tanks.
What could be a better illustration of the situation?
Just after it was announced that the Japanese army had put in tanks, the division headquarters ordered a retreat. Tanks were almost everyone's nightmare. No one was willing to die in front of tanks.
"Major, we must have anti-tank weapons. I'm not talking about Thor's hammer. Not everyone has Remy's luck. Luck is important with grenades, and the same is true with mines."
When Harrison mentioned Remy, Gary Bull nodded and asked.
"So what do you think we need?"
"We need a larger rifle whose bullets can penetrate steel plates..."
"Large rifle?"
"Yes, it's a large rifle."
Harrison thought for a while and said.
"When I was a sailor on a merchant ship, I once visited the Qing Dynasty. There I saw a large rifle with a caliber between 0.60 inches and 1 inch and six feet long. The locals called it "lifting gun."
, two people are needed to carry him to use it. I think we can make a rifle like this and fire this kind of bullet..."
While talking, Harrison took out a bullet from his bag and gestured.
"We should design a 0.6-inch bullet. Its warhead is not made of copper and lead, but a steel core. This large bullet should be able to penetrate the tank's armor. Well, for the shell, we can use 20mm artillery shells.
The cartridge case is constricted to create it…”
"You mean to make a rifle that shoots large caliber wildcat rounds?"
Gary Bull asked, Wildcat bullets are homemade bullets, usually modified from existing bullets in order to obtain better ammunition performance.
Making bullets by shrinking the cannon shell...
"Haha, my friend, you are really a genius. If you use it to shoot solid bullets, it will definitely be able to penetrate very thick steel plates. There will be no problem in using it to hit tanks. Haha, in this case, we will never
There are tanks to worry about."
After thinking about it, Gary Bull said.
"We will be evacuating to Albany soon. There must be people who can manufacture it locally... What kind of rifle is it? By the way, craftsman carrying the gun, we can give it a try. Maybe your invention can save the United States and save the world."
Just a few days later, they found a gun shop in Albany. Faced with the request made by this group of soldiers, the gunsmith Blake said in shock.
"A rifle with a caliber above 0.6 inches and a length of six feet. My God, what are you going to use it to shoot? To shoot elephants? Can you withstand the recoil of such a gun?"
"Mr. Black, what we need is a rifle that can shoot tanks."
"Tank?"
Blake asked in confusion.
It didn't take long for Blake to understand what the other party wanted.
"Is it a rifle that can penetrate steel plates? For example, if you use this cartridge case to shrink and fire smaller steel bullets, it will be faster and more powerful!"
As the best gunsmith in Albany, Black thought for a moment and then said.
"Then do you know how big his recoil is?"
…
Tank troops are advancing!
It should be said that a tank is advancing. The tank has become the most dazzling star in the northern battlefield in 1996. It is like the heavy cavalry on the ancient battlefield. When it wants to sweep everything on the battlefield, it also
Gave people confidence.
As long as it appears on the battlefield, the enemy's defense will definitely collapse, and the morale of the imperial soldiers will instantly rise.
It is common for a tank or an infantry company to even dare to attack a battalion of American troops.
"We will soon be able to reach California and San Francisco."
"Haha, when we get to San Francisco, we have to relax a bit. Those white women have really white skin..."
Zhou Kai, half of his body exposed in the turret, listened to the words of the infantry, looked at their light coffee complexions, and muttered in his heart.
"It's just a bunch of guys thinking about white people..."
Suddenly, with a burst of fierce gunfire, two or three of the infantrymen who were chatting fell down.
"Attack, attack...guerrillas!"
When the infantrymen shouted, they all lay down on the mountain roadside and shot into the forest. As for Zhou Kai, he immediately got into the turret, closed the top cabin of the turret, and looked out through the observation hole of the turret.
"Captain, how are you? Are there many people?"
Zhou Kai, who was rotating the turret, pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the gunfire and said.
"What's the point of having too many people? For us, no matter how many people there are, they are just here to give away their heads..."
After all, they were protected by a layer of bulletproof steel outside. After spotting the muzzle flash behind the ambusher on the hillside, Zhou Kai pulled the trigger.
Accompanied by the rapid gunshots of the machine guns, red and green glaring trajectories streaked through the air with dazzling brilliance.
But before he could finish firing an ammunition belt, Zhou Kai suddenly fell into the turret with a heavy knocking sound on the steel plate.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.
"Here, what's going on... Car commander, car commander..."
After the driver saw a bullet hole of nearly two centimeters in the turret steel plate, his wide eyes were filled with astonishment...
At this moment, he didn't even understand what happened. There was only one thought left in his mind - the tank was penetrated!
