Chapter 424 The Long-Awaited Battle!

Looking at Victor and James, whose faces were immature, but their eyes were sharp and determined, General Zachary Taylor nodded with satisfaction.

"Great boy, tell me your names!"

Victor glanced at Zachary Taylor and replied neither humble nor arrogant.

"Victor Logan!"

Zachary Taylor nodded and looked at James next to him.

"how about you?"

James' eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he finally said his original name.

"James Howlett!"

...

Just five days after Victor and James successfully joined Zachary Taylor's army, Zachary Taylor led a mixed force of 3,000 new and old soldiers to leave the original stronghold and head towards the United States and Mexico. Deep in the disputed area, the direction toward Mexico continued for a large distance, and work began on the construction of Fort Texas.

On April 25, a Mexican army of 1,600 men surrounded a reconnaissance team of only 63 under Zachary Taylor's command near Fort Texas. spared.

It's just that Victor and James were not in the team, so they couldn't participate in this conflict.

The hostilities that took place next to Victor and James could be said to be the beginning of the Mexican-American War.

Since then, the situation in the disputed areas between the United States and Mexico has become tense. Both the United States and Mexico have begun to carry out large-scale troop movements, dispatching troops, and building a large number of fortifications in the disputed areas. The friction between the two armies has also More and more, in this disputed area, the smell of gunpowder on both sides is getting heavier and stronger. Seeing that a war is brewing, it may break out at any time.

Victor and James felt the growing atmosphere of war around them, and they couldn't help but get excited, and they could finally fight to their heart's content!

Just don't know how long to wait.

But soon, they had the opportunity to formally fight.

A few days later, the Mexican army sent troops to lay siege to a US stronghold.

After Zachary Taylor heard the news, he immediately led the rescue.

On May 8, the two sides carried out artillery shelling, and the infantry did not move. Victor and James had no chance to fight, so they had to continue to endure, and all the soldiers around them were frightened to find a place to hide, for fear that when the shells fell on their heads, Victor would not let him go. But Te and James just found a place to sit there and let the cannonballs fall beside them. There was no fear on their faces. Instead, they looked at the battlefield full of excitement and could not wait to face the cannon fire directly. , rushed to the enemy front.

However, Chen Mo had already explained long ago that he must obey the commander's orders while in the army, otherwise being arrested for violating the military order will seriously affect the later battle of the two.

As for the artillery fire that filled the sky, the two of them did not pay attention to it. Although the power of this artillery shell is indeed much stronger than that of a musket, don't forget what era this is. The muskets used are generally front-loaded smoothbore flintlock guns, and the bullets are only a little more convenient than the arquebus era. The gunpowder that was originally added by the gunpowder pot was changed to directly wrap the quantitative gunpowder and lead pellets in paper. When using it, just bite open the paper package with your teeth and pour it into the barrel of the gun.

Although it is a little more convenient than before, there is no essential difference. Even if it is the most advanced firing gun that has not yet been popularized in the army, it just improves the firing method and fires faster, but there is still no rifling in the barrel. There is always a gap between the bullet and the barrel wall, the power of the gunpowder explosion is wasted a lot, and the power of the bullet is very limited.

The same is true for artillery. Both the United States and Mexico use smoothbore guns. There are no rifling in the gun chambers. The shells are only iron balls of about five kilograms. Compared with the artillery of later generations, although the projectiles fired can cause great damage to ordinary people,

It turned the soldiers it hit into bloody stumps and broken arms, but when it hit Victor and James, whose skeletal muscles were much stronger and stronger than ordinary people, it was unable to destroy their bodies, at most it only shook their internal organs. crack.

But at this time, the self-healing ability of Victor and James is much stronger than before. No matter how serious the injury is, it will only take a few minutes to heal, so even if they are hit by these shells, they will not be life-threatening, and even their combat effectiveness will not be in danger. There won't be much of a drop.

In the movie, James was hit by a cannonball in the chest during the Civil War, but he was just hit by the force of the cannonball and flew out, and there was nothing in itself.

In the end, the shelling, which lasted all day, ended in the evening with a victory for Taylor's forces, with heavy losses for the Mexican army.

The next day, Victor and James finally ushered in the opportunity to fight.

With more than 2,000 infantrymen under the command of Zachary Taylor charging towards the Mexican army positions, Victor and James finally usher in the long-awaited battle.

"Come on!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill!!!"

With their rifles, the two rushed towards the enemy with a roar along with the other soldiers. The Mexican army hurriedly opened fire and the bullets flew in the air. There was no sound, but more soldiers continued to rush forward.

Victor and James took the lead, and quickly rushed into the enemy's position first. The soldiers of the Mexican army also gave up shooting and greeted them with rifles with bayonets inserted.

Victor raised his rifle and smashed the butt on the neck of a Mexican soldier who was rushing towards him. With tremendous force, he smashed the opponent's neck directly. The bright red flesh was torn and rolled up, and the entire neck instantly changed. His flesh and blood were blurred, and even his cervical vertebrae were directly smashed by this heavy blow, his entire head was twisted to one side, and with the blood spraying from his neck, the soldier fell directly to the ground, lost come alive.

Victor didn't even look at the fallen corpse, kept his feet on the ground, and roared directly to the next target.

Victor and James, who rushed into the local position, were like tigers in the flock. Every time they attacked, an enemy was directly killed by them. However, this was a battlefield after all, and there were enemies everywhere. No matter how strong the two were, they couldn't. To be as unscathed as the armed acquisition personnel who faced the fur company before.

The two sides of the United States and Mexico launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle on this position. As the battle progressed, one soldier was killed, and the ground was gradually covered with corpses of various forms of death, and the wounds on Victor and James were also more and more.
