"Fire!"
When the bandits were only a hundred meters away from the reconnaissance company's defense line, Tang Mengxiao gave the order to open fire.
"Da da!"
The two MG08 heavy machine guns began to roar.
The muzzle of the gun shone brightly, and a dense stream of bullets was fired at the bandits like a tidal wave.
"Ah! Ah!"
The bandits at the front were sent flying by the heavy machine gun bullets and fell to the ground.
The MG08 was a water-cooled heavy machine gun with a firing rate of 400 rounds per minute. In theory, as long as there was enough cold water and bullets, it could continue firing.
Under the firing of the two heavy machine guns, countless bandits were knocked to the ground.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
The two 37mm rapid-fire cannons also started firing. The dense artillery shells rained down on the bandits, causing them to fall.
This kind of rapid-fire cannon had a small caliber, and the power of the cannonball was also not great. But the advantage was that the firing speed was fast! The maximum firing rate could reach 150 rounds per minute. Even with a normal firing rate of 60 rounds per minute, it could still cause fatal damage to soft targets without cover.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The cannonballs continued to explode among the bandits. The huge power easily tore apart the fragile human bodies. Some of the bandits were torn to pieces, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere. Even the trees at the foot of the mountain had pieces of intestines hanging from them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The rifles in the hands of the scouts also opened fire. The Mauser 1898 rifles in the hands of these scouts began to steadily output firepower.
This rifle had a long range and could fire more than ten shots per minute.
In addition to the fact that the scouts were generally more accurate, the bandits who attacked immediately paid an unimaginable price.
"Bang!"
A thumb-sized bullet hole appeared on the head of one of the bandits, and he fell to the ground on his back.
"The first one!" a young scout muttered.
Then, he aimed at another target.
"Bang!"
"The second one!"
After the Scout finished speaking, he began to search for the third target.
The bandits were completely stunned by the powerful firepower of the Northern Ocean Army's reconnaissance company. They had already left a thick layer of corpses in front of the reconnaissance company's position.
These bandits might be able to fight with the wind because they had more people.
However, it was completely impossible for them to attack.
The death of their companions further terrified the bandits, causing their morale to instantly plummet.
In the beginning, he was inspired by the bounty.
"Run! The government troops were too powerful. If they did not run now, they would lose their lives.”
"We've been deceived. This isn't an ordinary army, but an elite army!”
Some bandits who were scared out of their wits turned around and fled.
The power of example was endless. After some bandits escaped, the other bandits naturally followed suit and began to flee.
For a moment, the attacking formation of the bandits under Bai Lang's command completely collapsed. There were bandits running away everywhere.
The heavy machine guns and rapid-fire cannons of the Northern Army's reconnaissance company chased after the bandits, leaving behind many corpses.
Bai Lang was already dumbfounded. His body was trembling slightly, and it was unknown whether it was because of anger or fear.
"Damn it! How could this army be so powerful? This is my main force! They had actually been defeated by them just like that, and they had even suffered such a huge loss. How are we going to continue this war?" Bai Lang felt extremely aggrieved.
Although Bai Lang had a few thousand men under him, the true elites were only these two thousand men.
Originally, he thought that using 2,000 people to besiege 200 soldiers would be a piece of cake.
Such a small Beiyang Army was actually equipped with heavy machine guns and artillery. This was simply beyond Bai Lang's expectations!
"Well done, we defeated those bandits!”
The soldiers of the Northern Army's reconnaissance company cheered.
They were a little nervous before. However, after seeing how the bandits were easily killed, they became bolder.
"Boss, what should we do now? The casualties of our brothers are too great!"
"Yes, Boss. We lost six to seven hundred brothers in that charge just now. A few more times and all of his brothers would be dead.”
"Boss, this Northern Army is not easy to deal with. They are tough bones. We can't take them down!”
The bandits 'morale had almost dropped to the freezing point.
"Retreat!"
Bai Lang also knew that the Northern Army in front of him was definitely the elite of the elite. With such excellent equipment, it was not something his bandits could deal with. Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and give the order to retreat.
The remaining bandits retreated like the tide and disappeared into the forest.
Tang Mengxiao did not give the order to pursue. Although they had repelled the bandits, they only had two hundred men. Compared to the bandits, their military strength was still too small.
