Chapter 153 Nagamasa's Anger

In short, three days later, Jian finally found the rebel army marching from north to south in a valley.

For this reason, he ordered his men to lay the ground early and prepare the mortars for ambush.

"Fire!"

However, compared to Jian who thought he could deal with the rebels' vanguard through ambush, Nagamasa did not believe that Jian could scare the rebels away.

You know, his subordinate, who was considered a deputy, looked at the valley in front of him with only scattered armored vehicles and a large number of infantry, and he really doubted the bait tactics.

After all, the last time the rebels were defeated was because the main force of the opponent was pure infantry, without too many hard guys like armored vehicles.

But this time, Nagamasa really didn't believe that the second batch of rebels would make the same mistake.

Even if the start was smooth now, the infantry in the valley basically could not escape the bombardment of mortar shells, and at the same time, what made him feel very familiar was that the armored vehicles also cooperated to crash into the laid ground...

Hmm?

Wait?

Crash towards the ground?

Nagamasa realized that something was wrong and looked at the battlefield carefully. He suddenly felt that these armored vehicles were like remote-controlled cars, triggering the explosion of the ground with very precise movements.

What surprised him even more was that the infantrymen who were bombed by the artillery found the wreckage of the nearby armored vehicles, the bomb craters and even the gullies on the roadside as their own shelters, and began to fight back against their side.

And then, as the explosions on the ground stopped, three tanks with main guns came from the north...

Nagamasa's alarm bells kept ringing.

Tanks.

Tanks with main guns.

Even if the caliber is less than 96 mm, the damage that a tank's main gun can cause to his side is completely unimaginable.

Especially...

Boom!

A shell flew over, and Nagamasa saw a machine gun bunker on his right hand side flying into the sky.

A machine gun and two soldiers turned into flying parts in this way.

What is the power of modern weapons? This is it!

Those backward and ignorant inferior races who don't know how to waste time worshipping gods will only indulge in the cold weapon era where swords are nobler than spears and using crossbows to fight is a heresy that needs to be punished. The power from science and technology is the death knell that proves their obsolescence, and it is an existence that they cannot understand at all.

However, the situation he saw now really made him not optimistic, especially when the fourth and fifth tanks that followed behind were heading in his direction.

This is a big trouble.

Although it is said that with the improvement of the level of science and technology, infantry can also have anti-tank weapons and other things to fight tanks; but Nagamasa saw that the soldiers on his side were no match for the main gun of the tank, and was forced to take out the 55 kg semi-automatic anti-tank gun to resist the tank.

Boom!

It's done!

When the first 20×110 mm shell hit the left side of the tank, Nagamasa found that a bright flame suddenly jumped out from the inside of the tank.

The development of armor-piercing weapons was successful!

However, this large 20mm caliber semi-automatic anti-tank gun was too heavy, and the shooter who was responsible for using the weapon had already gritted his teeth after firing a shot.

Even if the weight of the weapon was increased, the shooters could not easily control the strong recoil it produced. Then Nagamasa saw a 7-round magazine was used up, only to paralyze two tanks, and then the tanks exploded inside.

But it was obviously not enough.

Compared with the more commonly used rocket launchers in the Krurod Empire, such semi-automatic anti-tank guns are not the most suitable infantry anti-armor weapons.

If you really want to analyze it, the 20mm caliber thing is actually more suitable for automatic machine guns.

But Nagamasa didn't have that condition, and the funds that Jian gave him were basically used to redeem prisoners of war.

Yes.

In order to recruit more suitable subordinates, Jian never thought of selecting people from the team of the anti-rebellion army.

He didn't know how much ammunition he had wasted because he habitually wiped out all of them. This also resulted in the fact that the rebels who came to wipe out him now did not take any prisoners, and would basically resist his organization with the most resolute attitude.

Of course, among all the rebel forces that resisted the rule of the Takagi Kingdom, only the rebel force formed by Kubo Ken received the focus of "attention" from the rebels.

So Nagamasa looked at Ken, whose face was getting uglier and uglier, and he was more and more convinced of one thing.

Kubo Ken was not a wise leader, and he was not even qualified to be a leader of the rebels.

Not to mention that he often talked to a mysterious person in a mysterious way, and he couldn't even know people and assign them to the right positions. For such a leader, where is there any way out?

Or... he would consider switching to another rebel force?

Although Nagamasa was taking the opportunity to help rescue the wounded, the idea of ​​changing his appearance in his heart gradually became clear.

He couldn't stay here for long.

However, he had to find an opportunity, a very good opportunity.

At least now, as he looked at the chaos in the organization, he knew that his current task was to repel the enemies in the valley. After all, his side had the advantage of terrain and priority in suppressing the enemy's actions. Although the enemy drove tanks over, as long as the anti-tank guns could continue to fire, there was no need to worry too much.

The thickness of the tank armor of the Takagi Kingdom is estimated to be only a few dozen millimeters, which can only block the thickness of ordinary bullets. And according to his observation, the damage of mortars, especially 120mm mortars, to armored vehicles is not as weak as everyone imagines.

On the contrary, if the mortar shells can hit directly or explode next to the tank body, it can also cause the members inside the tank to lose their combat effectiveness.

It seems that I have to find a way to bypass Jian and trade with arms dealers in the south or the north. Just looking at Jian's helpless look, he knew in his heart that if he continued to work for Jian, there would be no way out.

But before that, the sound of machine guns and rifles could not stop.

But compared to Nagamasa who took the opportunity to maintain the front line, Jian was dumbfounded watching the rebels at the foot of the mountain slaughtering his team with tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that followed.

He fell into the trap.

The rebels who came to deal with him this time knew that they had anti-armor equipment, so they deliberately sent some remote-controlled cars to suppress him.

And what made him very painful was that the rebels now continued to use self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to deal with him in order to suppress him.

This time his men must have suffered a lot of losses.

That's right.

Stupidity has never been an obstacle to survival, but arrogance is.

Jian has always looked at the rebels and King Junwu behind them with the most disdainful attitude. In his eyes, everything that belongs to being destroyed is not worth looking at.

Just like the attitude of the Krurod Empire towards their black-haired dog-headed people, they would kill them at any time. In particular, the Japanese would use the 12×74mm rifle bullets that are said to be specially used to deal with large monsters to "test" the physical strength of each black-haired dog-headed person.

But now he watched the rebels finally retreat to the north in an orderly manner, and his heart was stable.

Nagamasa: "We lost more than 400 soldiers."

Jian: "Ah... I know."

Hearing Jian's look of not knowing how to comment, Nagamasa was extremely angry.

Blindly thinking that the second batch of anti-rebellion troops would still be mainly infantry...

Now you know how it feels to be the main target of King Junwu's attack, right?

Of course, instead of being angry, Nagamasa has realized how important the light recoilless gun that Jian refused to buy before is.

Even if it is expensive, he has to buy it.

If possible, he really hopes to obtain its related manufacturing technology. After all, it is not just him, Nagamasa, but every soldier in the organization who participates in the resistance against tyranny needs such a weapon. And it would be best if he and every soldier can have such a good thing now.

Even if those damned Dark Elf profiteers charge sky-high fees at every turn. But... he still has a choice. There should be similar products sold to the outside world in the north.

With competition, the price can still be discussed slowly.
