Expedition to Europe

Speaking of fighting with the natives, the Lan Fang soldiers were extremely familiar with it. Even if they had an absolute advantage in weapons, they would never be careless. This was the experience summed up with countless blood.

In fact, fighting with the natives was always full of surprises, because the weapons used by the natives were not common hot weapons, and the more unpopular the weapons were, the more deadly they were.

Sure enough, when the soldier who was shot by the arrow was dragged back, he had stopped breathing. Although he didn't bleed much, his face was black and his expression was terrifying. Even though they were used to seeing corpses, the soldiers present still felt scared.

A military doctor put on rubber gloves and went up to check. In less than a minute, the military doctor concluded: "The arrow is poisonous, a neurotoxin, and the toxicity is quite strong, so the brothers should be well protected. If they are shot by this kind of arrow, even if they are rescued in time, they may be in danger of life, because the composition of this toxin is not certain at all, so there is no need to rescue them."

This saved the military doctor's trouble. If they were shot by an arrow, they would die, and there was no need to rescue them at all.

"Bomb it, blow this area up!" Huang Li was furious after his unsuccessful start. This was a bit too harsh.

In fact, Huang Li didn't need to order at all. With the cooperation of heavy machine guns and mortars, the forest in front of him was already in a mess with grass and trees flying everywhere. Even big trees were ignited by the violent explosion. It was really chaotic.

Those small huts have disappeared now. The power of large-caliber machine guns is to achieve lethality. If three or five bullets are fired, a hut will be directly disintegrated. Naturally, the people inside will not be spared. No one will survive.

The heavy machine gun equipped by the "Exploration Guard" is an enlarged version of the 20-type light machine gun with a caliber of 12.7 mm. Although the barrel cannot be replaced, the rate of fire is also reduced due to the lengthening and thickening. If the shooter uses burst shooting, it still has a strong sustained combat capability. When a 12.7mm bullet hits a person, no matter where it hits, it will immediately make the wounded lose their combat effectiveness. Basically, if it hits the arm, the arm will be broken, and if it hits the thigh, the thigh will fly. If it hits the torso, it is better to commit suicide directly to avoid more pain.

If it is a brick-concrete structure, it is completely stress-free to use such a heavy machine gun to shoot at a house. It is worthy of the reputation of "professional wall demolition". Now it is a bit of a waste of equipment to use it to shoot these small wooden houses.

With just a few bursts of fire, these small wooden houses were all turned into ruins. The soldiers did not dare to get too close, fearing that someone would attack them. They threw a few grenades from a distance, and then they returned to peace together.

It can't be said to be peaceful. The trees that were ignited by gunpowder just now were still crackling, and there was a tendency to spread to the side. A gust of mountain wind blew over, and a faint smell of burning came with the mountain wind.

"Cremate on the spot and send the ashes to the ship and take them back." Huang Li never thought that the "exploration escort team" would suffer casualties on just the first day.

"Can't cremate, we need to collect specimens and send them back for analysis to see if we can break this toxin." The military doctor still fulfilled his duties.

"Then hurry up!" Huang Li's voice was loud and he roared in anger, obviously in a bad mood.

The military doctor would definitely not miss Huang Li's signs at this time. He collected the samples on his own, then put them in test tubes and gave them to the soldiers to take back later.

"We have to establish a safe zone first. Since we have made enemies, we must guard against sneak attacks from these natives. The sun is about to set, and it may not be completed before sunset." Wu Qing's expression was solemn. He handed the telescope in his hand to Huang Li and pointed to a hill in the distance to indicate that Huang Li should look for himself.

Less than two kilometers away from Huang Li and his team's landing point, several natives with colorful feathers on their heads, colorful patterns on their faces, almost naked, holding bows and spears in their hands were looking straight at this place.

Lan Fang's telescope is of good quality. Huang Li can clearly see that the hatred in those eyes is deep.

Two kilometers, this distance is really not safe.

Huang Li raised his hand and called Kong Huarong, the captain of the battalion's machine gun company, and handed him the telescope in his hand.

"No problem, a little more than two thousand meters, completely within our range." Kong Huarong didn't say much, turned around and picked up the artillery rangefinder to measure the detailed data, and then ordered the gunners who were ready to fire.

It was still the familiar three-round assault, but this time the number of mortars firing had increased to 12.

The battle on the shore, although the cruise ship didn't know why, but still heard violent explosions, so artillery and heavy machine guns were sent ashore first to strengthen the firepower of the landing personnel.

The firepower was strong enough. Three rounds of firepower rushed down, and the orange-red fireballs had covered the small hill. If they could survive under such a strong firepower attack, it could only mean that those natives were God himself.

"Retreat, retreat to the ship, and come back tomorrow morning." Huang Li was still decisive and did not fight with these natives for a day or a night.

Just where the soldier fell just now, the several cans and a pile of chocolates held by the soldier were very conspicuous.

"Humph, poison - we can do it too, take the chocolate away and leave the cans." Huang Li turned around and left.

"Damn, we don't have poison now, why stay?" Wu Qing was still confused.

"Let them eat it first. They won't take the bait without a taste of the sweetness." Huang Li was indeed cruel.

That night, the cruise ship docked at the anchorage and did not move. It was still cautious as it should have been. The searchlight on the cruise ship was on all night long, constantly patrolling the surrounding sea.

After a bad start, the soldiers were obviously in a low mood and were not very active during dinner.

After dinner, Huang Li organized the soldiers to watch Lanfang Royal Pictures' latest film "Corsica" on the deck. He played it three times and made all the soldiers scream in excitement before ordering the soldiers to go back. rest.

Early the next morning, at dawn, the lifeboat pulled a company of soldiers back towards the place where they landed yesterday.

This time, he was not unprepared. Huang Li fully washed away his experience and ordered all the soldiers to wear two sets of military uniforms and one set of training uniforms, using the thickness of the cloth as much as possible to offset the sharpness of the bows and arrows.

The clothes worn by Lanfang soldiers are all made of denim fabric. This kind of fabric is quite thick. It is not easy for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot through three layers of denim fabric, unless they are shooting at close range, and the rifles in the hands of Lanfang soldiers are also Instead of burning fire sticks, it was not easy for the natives to attack Lanfang soldiers at close range.

Just as Huang Li thought, the landing site was obviously different from yesterday. The cans had disappeared without a trace, and the earth and rocks on the ground also showed signs of turning.

"Be careful of traps and use grenades to clear the way." Huang Li immediately responded. This kind of trap to deal with beast-level traps is child's play, and it is not easy to use it to deal with humans.

The soldiers' weapons and equipment were still sufficient, and half of the cruise ship was on board. After hearing Huang Li's order, the soldiers immediately took out grenades and threw them at all suspicious places.

Amid the violent explosion, through the smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion, hundreds of figures running away in panic could be clearly seen.

"Shoot, shoot, don't let anyone go." Huang Li fired first. Even if the natives had escaped the range of Huang Li's pistol, Huang Li still had to show his attitude.

Rifles have a much longer range than pistols. Compared with the speed of human running, bullets fly much faster. This combat method, which is similar to target shooting, is the favorite of soldiers, so few people can escape the soldiers' fire.

"Don't worry about them. Set up a defensive position first. All corpses must be reloaded first to enforce battlefield discipline." Huang Li was ruthless and did not leave any way for these natives to survive.

Compared with last night, the lifeboats moved much faster today, a bit like rushing to land on the beach. Before noon, all the soldiers, weapons and ammunition supplies had been sent ashore.

The cruise ship did not leave immediately. It would not leave until the temporary camp was established.

Before the arrival, the military headquarters was still prepared. Among the materials distributed, there were a number of prefabricated houses that could be assembled, including outer walls and observation towers. Soldiers only needed to assemble them, and a temporary camp could be set up quickly. Build it out.

Before setting up a temporary camp, the first thing to set up is a tent. This is the command center and also a warehouse for storing weapons, ammunition and various supplies.

The soldiers were busy outside, while Huang Li and Wu Qing hid in the tent to discuss.

"This is not the way to go. We can't just use grenades to blow them all the way. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. We have to find a way to get rid of it once and for all." It is not Huang Li's character to be beaten passively. Li still has to take the initiative.

"It would be great if there are local people who can cooperate with us. Is there a leading party here?" Wu Qing has many ideas and wants to integrate all the resources at hand.

"It's the same whether there is a leading party or not. If there is no leading party, we will cultivate it ourselves." After Huang Li finished speaking, he turned around and ordered the operator: "Send a report to the headquarters and ask when the French will arrive? The French have been operating here for so long , just buy a few natives?”

It didn't take long for the Lanfang local headquarters to call back. The French exploration team had set off from the French mainland and was expected to arrive in Manantenina in a week. As for the local leading party, a major affiliated with the French Governor-General in Madagascar had already led the party. A team of 120 people set off from the capital Antananarivo and is expected to arrive in Manantenina the day after tomorrow.

That's right. The French returned to Madagascar under the pretense of protecting the Sakalava people. How could they not find a few people to lead the way?
