The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 61: Gatling's European Open

The forest under the moonlight was quiet and unusual, with only the rustle of horseshoes on the leaves.

Although it was early in the morning, Lieutenant Gabriel, the commander of the cavalry company, did not feel sleepy. He held a detailed map of the western province of Lleida in his hand, which clearly marked the nearby terrain and the planned marching route.

From time to time, he would unfold it carefully, using the moonlight or lighting a candle to find the direction against the compass.

If nothing else, if they walk along the current road for another 40 minutes, they will reach a key railway junction.

At that time...hehe, he subconsciously touched the high explosive mixed with nitroglycerin hanging on the right side of the horse.

At this time, his heart was filled with a sense of sacredness and mission of fighting for faith. As a fanatic, originally he simply listened to the most pious monarch in the world, Carlos, waving the knife in his hand for him.

But since he heard that Alfonso actually promoted women's work, he felt that the other party was a demon that completely violated tradition.

Especially, the Catholic Church originally supported the pious Carlos, but now it turns to support Alfonso! It's okay, the church is bewitched!

As a result, this operation even brought some taste of trial and revenge in it, which is why he took the initiative to sign up for this sabotage operation.

You know, they are divided into 9 companies to destroy the railway in different places. No matter who it is, as long as it encounters a large enemy force, it will be a life of nine deaths.

The atmosphere in the air was dull and somewhat depressed, and no one dared to speak, and even breathed gently, lest it provoke the soldiers on patrol.

Fortunately, their luck was not bad, and there was no surprise and no danger along the way.

Thirty minutes later, Lieutenant Gabriel stopped his horseshoe and raised his left hand to make a gesture. Soon, the entire company stopped.

The adjutant leaned forward and said softly, "Is it here?"

"Well, it should be." Gabriel got off his horse and found a raised soil slope, where there were a few inconspicuous oval stones stuck in the ground upright.

"1,2,3...7. It's right here, you can see the railway after another 10 minutes." With the mark buried in advance, he confirmed his position again.

He beckoned and called a few monitors.

"According to the plan, each led the soldiers to blow up their targets, and then gather at the designated location. Regardless of whether the people are all together, they will evacuate immediately at 4:50. Hearing no." He whispered.

After speaking, he raised up the latest Wal-Mart military watch in his hand.

Seeing that all the squad leaders nodded their heads to show that he knew, he smiled with satisfaction, then turned on his horse and took his troops to the target point.

The railway that their company needs to destroy is more than 20 kilometers long. It is naturally impossible to blow up all of such a long distance. They can only selectively blow up key points.

"Get ready for battle!" Gabriel warned on the road.

The most dangerous goal of his mission is the intersection of the two railways. Such an important location will naturally be protected.

According to intelligence, there will be 6 Catalan soldiers garrisoned there. Because of this, he is the only one in action with a full three squads.

A few minutes later, he saw a fire in the distance, and he was delighted that there should be the railway management point.

"What should I do? Shall we fight directly?" the adjutant asked.

Gabriel looked around, there was no special geographical location around him, and the management point was also built on a high place with a wide view.

"I can only fight directly." He said helplessly: "But it's okay, 32 people to 6 people, the advantage lies with me."

He took out the Enfield M1853 rifle behind him, which was a pre-loaded rifled rifle, stock from the American Civil War.

Although there is no doubt that there is no **** left by Xia Sebo's rifle, but His Majesty Carlos, who is not well-off, can only install this type of rifle in his hand.

After all, once the Civil War ended, this kind of gun was considered to occupy a place in the warehouse in the United States, and the price was really cheap.

It doesn't matter if the weapon is a little behind, as long as there are numbers and beliefs.

Gabriel confidently took the soldiers around in a circle, preparing to rush up from behind.

They didn't know that these behaviors were clearly seen by the people in the management point.

There were not 6 people in the room as Gabriel thought, but 12 people.

Originally, the garrison soldiers had a two-shift rotation system, but after the occupation of La Rioja yesterday, García asked everyone from both shifts to go up and see what happened.

"What to do?" the deputy squad leader asked the squad leader.

The soldiers on duty on the watchtower just reported that there was movement in the distance, and all 12 of them were awake.

The room was full of tension, and the other party was even more afraid of them! Catalonia has been in peace for a long time, and they have not been in the army for a long time. Suddenly they have to fight hard, and now their calves are shaking badly.

"They seem to be rushing over from behind...what, aren't we a new Gatling gun, and lift it to the shooting window." The squad leader forced his composure and ordered.

The two soldiers immediately went to set up the half-man Gatling.

"The weapon is loaded."

12 unfolded the rifle with a total length of 1.3 meters, and the room seemed a bit crowded. The two soldiers almost scratched their own people in a panic.

"keep quiet."

They waited with bated breath for the arrival of the enemy.

The Xiasaibo rifle has an effective range of 800 meters, and it can actually be shot now.

But there was no sharpshooter in this room, not to mention that at night, the squad leader wisely decided to wait until Gatlin's fire was suppressed before they fired again.

300 meters away,

"We should have been discovered." Gabriel looked at the deserted watchtower.

"What should I do? How about throwing a few bombs first?" the adjutant asked tremblingly.

Gabriel shook his head: "Charge! You can throw bombs, but you must be close to throw them."

Nitroglycerin, wood pulp, sodium nitrate, etc. are mixed with high explosives. They are powerful and heavy, but they are heavy. Alfonso can't guarantee that they can be cast to the opposite side when Alfonso comes at this distance.

"rush!"

"Long live Carlos!"

"For God!"

The crowd rode horses, shouting and charging, to embolden themselves.

They are not afraid of being discovered at this time, and when the gunshots are loud, those who can be alarmed will definitely be alarmed.

But soon, Gabriel regretted making this reckless decision.

"what is that?"

From the shooting window of the house in front of him, a large swath of smoke suddenly appeared. There was no fire, but it was accompanied by a violent sound.

The roar of death!

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Gatlin's ten barrels turned quickly, making a dull and rude sound, relentlessly harvesting the life of the attacker.

There was no time to react.

Gabriel, who rushed to the front, staggered. He had been with his beloved horse for 3 years. The head had exploded, blood and brains were splashing, and the horse's body fell uncontrollably.

Before he could be sad, he felt that a heavy hammer was hitting himself continuously, and the whole person fell backward.

The severe pain lasted only a moment, and his body was torn into countless small pieces like rags.

Gabriel's last thought: "It really is the devil..."

"Boom!!!" There was a loud, deafening noise, which was the explosion of a nitroglycerin bomb being hit by a bullet.

With this loud noise, the fire swallowed Gabriel sauce and his horse, and it is hard to find traces of their existence in the world...

In the room, a muscular young soldier with extraordinary arms shook the crank desperately.

He was sweating profusely, and with fear and tension, he could hardly open his eyes. He just turned mechanically, and every time he laps, a piece of puzzle was born.

Everyone looked at him blankly, and then at the **** scene outside the window. They all forgot to shoot. They were stunned by this effect. This is the first time that Gatling guns have been put into actual combat on the European continent!

Suddenly, the rotation stopped, and the soldier shook violently twice without shaking. It turned out that the machine gun jammed because he turned faster and faster under his excitement.

Everyone woke up like a dream, and rushed out of the room with rifles, ready to make up the knife.

However, of the 32 attackers, 7 were killed on the spot and 4 were killed in the explosion. The rest were scared and turned around and ran. They were riding horses, where could they catch up?

The soldiers could only shoot at their backs, shooting randomly, and only one hapless man fell from the horse.
