Chapter 1449 Tanks, monsters (second update, please subscribe)

Unlike the thick snow in the mountains of eastern Oregon, around Portland, although there is a lot of snow, there is not much snow. Compared with the severe cold in the mountains, the temperature in Portland even looks a bit "pleasant".

However, this pleasant weather is not what the people here expected. They hope that the temperature will be lower and the snow will be heavier. In this way, they can stop the attack of the Ming army.

But they should be thankful that if the weather is really that cold, it may cause some trouble for the Ming army's attack. After all, the frozen Willamide River and Columbia River are more conducive to the Ming army's attack.

On January 27, [-], the gunpowder smoke outside the city of Portland was blown away by the cold wind. From time to time, some American soldiers showed half of their heads from the trenches on the western outskirts of Portland.Looking at the open area ahead, there are many tree stumps scattered in the snow, and many huge tree stumps are at least one meter in diameter.Because of the rapid urban construction, many tree stumps outside the city were too late to be cleared, and the surrounding area of ​​the city was full of tree stumps, so Portland was called "Stump City".

But now, the tree stumps have become the fortifications of the defenders - they nailed the barbed wire on the tree stumps. Although the barbed wire is only more than one foot high based on the tree stumps, it is enough to stop the attack of the infantry of the Ming army. , Relying on barbed wire and trenches, they repelled the Ming army's attacks time and time again.

"It's a pity that we have too few machine guns!"

Neil, who was lying in the trench, stared at the corpses left between the barbed wire, he said to himself.

"machine gun."

Lieutenant Kent complained from the side.

"Before the war they said that machine guns were only good against Indians, and that among civilized nations they were of no use at all, because the cannons would destroy everything, but as God bears witness, we have neither enough cannons nor enough machine gun."

The theory that machine guns are useless... This point of view was slapped in the face immediately after the outbreak of the war. Almost all troops are asking for machine guns, because they found that the role of machine guns on the battlefield is irreplaceable by any weapon, especially in trench defense hour.Not just machine guns, but cannons.U.S. troops on the front lines also need artillery.

"Haha, if you give us ten more machine guns, I swear to God we can hold this place until we kill the last Ming Guo."

"That is impossible……"

When Lieutenant Kent's words fell, Neil saw a green flare flying over the Ming Guo guy's position, and the flare dragged a smoke dragon soaring into the sky.

"Get ready, Ming Guo is going to attack!"

When Major Neil gave the order, they didn't notice that there was a choking blue-gray smoke in the woods in the distance, and more than [-] white cubes in the woods were moving slowly.

It was noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky, shining on the snow on the ground, and those seemingly harmless blocks gathered into a cluster on the snow.

tank!

The Tenth Tank Regiment is on the attack!
The engines of 68 tanks made deafening roars, and they slowly approached the front. Behind the tanks, there was an accompanying infantry of an infantry regiment. They followed the tanks carefully and moved slowly.

In the roar of tank engines, the American officers and soldiers in the trenches could even feel the trembling of the ground.

"What are those guys?"

Looking at the "monsters" approaching slowly, someone in the trench shouted in horror.

But their shouts were immediately suppressed by the whistling sound overhead, and the whistling of shells drowned out other sounds on the ground.

Shelling!

In the fierce shelling, the US military's position was immediately enveloped by artillery fire, and the dust of the explosion rose into the sky.This time the shelling was more violent than ever.

In the fierce artillery fire, many anti-aircraft bunkers were blown down. Major Neil, who was dizzy from the explosion, did not hide in the bunker. However, such fierce artillery fire finally broke his habit and he had to hide in the bunker.

The fierce artillery fire came quickly and went quickly. When the artillery fire stopped, under Neil's order, when the soldiers rushed out of the bunker and walked to the edge of the trench to look at the enemy outside, someone suddenly screamed in horror. .

"Tanks! Tanks!"

Kent pointed to the monster on the battlefield, screaming in terror.

"Tank? What is a tank!"

Neal grabbed the terrified officer.asked loudly.

"Tank? What's a tank?"

Neil, like many officers, was a temporary mobilized officer. In order to resist the invasion, Portland, with a population of 10, mobilized 3 people. Although there were many soldiers, there was a serious shortage of officers, except for the captain of the militia. , People like Neil belong to the "excellent officers" with rich combat experience.

It's just that Neil, who is still stuck in the era of pre-loading guns... doesn't know what a tank is at all.

"Tanks, tanks are the ones we can't shoot..."

As his staff officer, Kent said a little excitedly.

"We're done, we're done..."

He looked at the tanks that were getting closer, his tone full of despair.

Facing the tanks rushing towards them, the officers and soldiers in the trench just shot at the tanks with their rifles desperately. Whether it was an M1890 rifle or an old-style lever rifle, their bullets hit the tank only to scratch some paint. The advance of the tanks cannot be stopped.

"Guns won't move... cannons, cannons..."

With this in mind, Neil hurriedly picked up the phone and shouted to the other end of the phone.

"I'm Major Neil of the [-]st Division of the Oregon National Guard. We have encountered tanks! I need cannons now, and I need you to bombard them with cannons and smash them to pieces..."

At this moment, he felt that the ground trembled even more violently, and even everything trembled, even the rats in the trenches were startled, and they were scattered everywhere.

Suddenly, he felt as if the trench with his back was collapsing, and the hard frozen soil suddenly collapsed, and his eyes looked out again. At this moment, he was completely stunned.

"monster!"

There were terrified screams from the people in the trench, and they were obviously terrified. The tanks did not rush through the trench, but kept squeezing back and forth on the parapet in front of the trench, using their caterpillars to move the parapets to the front of the trench. The permafrost pushed into the trench, and many terrified people who were lying on the edge of the trench and dared not move were buried alive under it.

The scene in front of him made Neil's lips tremble.A few incoherent words came out of his mouth.

"Damn, damn it, he, they want to bury us all alive here..."
