Chapter 614

The leader of the 88th LRA is Lt. Col. Andrew Barnett of the Royal Army.

His mission was to land from the South Bank of Lake Ontario, then move southeast, join the royal army landed from other places on the South Bank of Ontario, and finally enter the Mohawk River Valley, then move eastward along the Mohawk River Valley, and finally reach Albany.

As early as accepting this mission, lieutenant commander Barnett knew that his way was not easy. After all, the Iroquois ally, which was originally located on the South Bank of Lake Ontario, was gone, and the 88th light infantry regiment had to move forward on its own.

After landing, lieutenant commander Barnett was warned by Colonel Auston from the Detroit Fort not to launch military operations in that area.

Commander Barnett scoffed at this.

Although the rank of Colonel Osten was higher than that of him, Lieutenant Colonel Barnett really looked down on the aristocratic children who had been mixed up with family strength.

The Royal British army is an army that only the brave can join. It's a shame for those damned cowards to join this sacred army.

So commander Barnett, who was fighting in the army step by step, looked down on people like Colonel Osten.

So he ignored Colonel Osten's warning.

But lieutenant commander Barnett also wisely chose to follow the scheduled route immediately after landing, rather than finishing in place.

Because he also saw the aboriginal soldiers who were around the landing site.

Although lieutenant commander Barnett can't stand people like Colonel Osten, he is not a fool. He also knows the strength of the Cherokee people who have suddenly risen in the new world in the recent ten years, and he doesn't want to provoke such a strong enemy.

Soon after leaving the landing site and heading inland, the 88th light infantry regiment met the resistance of the army.

In itself, the terrain on the South Bank of Lake Ontario is not very flat. Except for the small area near the lake, it is still flat. Not far south is the mountain area. The only way east is in the Mohawk Valley.

The Mohawk River is named after the Mohawk, also known as the Mohawk, the largest tribe in the Iroquois League. The year before last, in the battle in which the bear army recovered its ancestral land, the stone bear used his big bow to kill the chiefs of the six major tribes of the Iroquois League, including wahak, the chief of the mohak.

Later, from buffalo to Albany, there was a section of the Erie Canal, which was built with the help of the Mohawk River.

Now, this valley is the key area for the British to compete with the army.

Because the British landed from several places, the army was naturally divided into several parts to deal with the British separately. Some of them met the 88th British Light Infantry Regiment just landed.

The encounter between the two sides soon began.

Although the 88th light infantry regiment is a light infantry regiment, with the help of domestic sophisticated equipment, Lieutenant Colonel Barnett's soldiers soon gained the upper hand with newly equipped Mississippi rifles and a small number of grenades.

Mississippi rifles are the rifles sold by Yanhuang tribe under the instruction of stone bear. This enhanced version of Ferguson rifle, which uses smokeless powder as propellant and has an effective range of about 350 yards, was immediately sought after by the British army after it appeared in Britain with the help of the sales channels of viscount Hank and the Auston family.

The king of England even decided to purchase this rifle, of course, more ammunition.

On the battlefield of the thirteen colonies of North America, the British Army needed this more advanced weapon to deal with those damned guerrillas.

Commander Barnett's 88th light infantry regiment was fully equipped with this new Mississippi rifle.

Judging from the fighting process, this rifle can easily suppress the Kentucky rifles of the army.

But just as commander Barnett was ready to wipe out the army in front of him, there was a strange roar in the sky.

Not many people have heard the shrill sound of this kind of shell flying in the air at supersonic speed in this era, so no matter the British soldiers of the 88th light infantry regiment or the soldiers of the large army, they are stunned after the sound.

As a result, the earth shaking explosion suddenly broke out on the battlefield where both sides were fighting.

Just this round of explosion, hundreds of British soldiers and soldiers in the army were torn to pieces by this violent explosion, and more people were shocked by the huge shock wave and sound wave generated by the explosion

Obviously, they have been shelled!

What's more, they don't know which direction the shelling came from. The most important thing is that they have never seen such a heavy shelling.

In the eyes of many soldiers, the hundreds of broken human bodies and the shock wave that can shock people to death are just made by demons who come out of hell. It's terrible

But the shelling didn't end in one shot.

Not long after the first round of shelling, there was another scream in the sky that was more frightening than the roar of death.

The next moment, the battlefield was once again shrouded in countless huge explosions and smoke.

Then there is the third round, the fourth round

When the seven rounds of shelling were over, there were not many people alive, whether they were the soldiers in charge of the interdiction or the 88th light infantry regiment of the British army. Nearly 2000 soldiers from both sides were killed in the whole seven rounds of shelling. At least 800 of them were killed. Although the rest of them were not dead, their spare parts were also much less.

There are only less than 400 people in total

Both the British and the army were stupefied by the sudden terror. As the highest officer of the 88th light infantry regiment, lieutenant commander Barnett had a fragment on his right arm. Blood flowed down his right arm. However, he did not seem to be aware of his injury. He just looked at the battlefield which was more terrible than hell.

What's going on here?

No one knows what's going on, because neither the British nor the army can understand that there are still people who can fire seven kilometers away.

Of course, they didn't know that at a certain artillery position seven kilometers away, major general ohamoka, the commander of the ninth division of the fierce bear army, spit out his cigarette end and his face was full of excitement.

On the artillery position beside ohamoka, the muzzle of 12 105mm guns and 18 76mm guns of the artillery regiment of the ninth division can be seen faintly
