At the end of February 1899, it was the beginning of Yihai in the lunar calendar.

In the vast jungle covered by rainforest in the Luzon Islands, the voice of modern civilization comes out...

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

squeak~

Weng Weng Weng~~

A green steel behemoth rushed out of the jungle. Traces of rivets could be seen on the front. It had sharp edges and corners, rough processing style, and two unreasonable tracks - it was a tank.

.

Half of the body is exposed on the roof of the vehicle. As expected, it is the commander of the vehicle. The three white numbers 001 are painted on the barrel and turret.

The commander observed that the nearby field of view was relatively wide, making it difficult for locals to sneak attack. He held on to the hatch and kicked the driver, and the tank stopped in response.

"Take a rest and check it out by the way!" After the engine stopped, the captain said to the crew who took off their earphones.

The crew members, wearing only shorts, got out one after another, first wiped away their sweat, and then inspected the vehicle body, especially the tracks.

"Boss, there's not even a ghost here, why are we running around?" A young man of 17 or 18 years old took a sip of water and complained to the commander who was still on guard at the cabin door.

"You wild ass, you work right after you drink, and you take a break after working, and you insist on making yourself uncomfortable?" The driver's voice was loud, as if he was yelling at someone.

The young man was not bothered by being called a wild donkey. He took a hammer and began to inspect the tracks.

"We have patrolled a five-kilometer radius and found no trace of local villages. There should be no locals in this area." The driver was sitting under the shade of a tree, picking up a banana leaf from somewhere and fanning himself.

"There is still a short distance to wait for the No. 2 car to come up. We will go back after the inspection." The commander took a sip of water and said nothing more.

About half an hour later, the rumbling sound came again.

"Car No. 2 is here, let them rest for a while." The captain looked at the sun above his head, which was shining brightly on the earth. It was better to take a rest at this time.

Another tank emerged from the jungle along the path created by the tank, and stopped next to the No. 1 tank.

"Platoon commander, what's wrong?" the commander of the No. 002 tank shouted: "The track is broken?"

"Shut your crow mouth, why are you so slow?" the commander of the No. 1 car yelled.

It seems that the tank soldiers have quite a loud voice.

"The left driving wheel is deformed, and it has only been a few hundred kilometers. The technology of the second factory is not good, and it took half a day to replace the driving wheel." The T1 tank carries key parts, including two driving wheels, a section of track, engine accessories, etc.

The road wheels must be replaced with the assistance of a large machine. There is no way to do it in the wild. But if one of the road wheels is broken and the track is fine, it can still be driven, but the track is useless.

Every qualified tank soldier is a qualified mechanic, because the T1 type has too many minor problems.

"Squad leader Qi, do you still have caterpillar tracks? We don't have enough caterpillar tracks." The gunner and loader, who was 17 or 18 years old, shouted.

"Is it broken that much?" The commander of car No. 1 frowned.

"I only have one piece, so you can use it sparingly." The commander of the No. 2 car was a little reluctant. Tank tracks are consumables and should be replaced every one hundred kilometers.

After bragging for a long time, the two tanks restarted their engines and began the final leg of the mission.

There was not much communication during the drive because the engine was too noisy. Everyone wore earplugs. In the jungle, there was only the roar of the tank engine and the noise of mechanical friction.

In half an hour, the two vehicles traveled several kilometers. Suddenly, the captain of vehicle No. 1 saw black smoke rising in the distance.

Bang bang bang bang!

He raised his left hand high and then kicked the driver with his right foot.

The crew member then took off their earplugs and said, "There's smoke from the front left!" The driver yelled into the car, and then gestured to Car No. 2 to follow me.

"Check ammunition and prepare for battle."

Rumble, rumble…

The two tanks moved forward to the left front together, carving a path through the jungle.

Smoke could be seen, but the distance was not far away, and the road was difficult to navigate. It took about ten minutes for the two tanks to see the village.

It is built of thatch and mud, has a cylindrical shape and a conical roof, which is a typical local building.

Seeing the village through the observation port, the pilot also took off his earplugs, and his speech became clearer during the battle.

"Speed ​​up!" the captain shouted, kicking the driver.

Car No. 1 and Car No. 2 went one behind the other, raising their speed to fifteen kilometers at the same time, and quickly approached the village.

When the people in the village heard the sound of the tank engine, they all poked their heads out curiously, and then immediately retreated.

"Load! Prepare to fight!" The commander retreated into the vehicle, closed the hatch, observed through the observation port, and gave up his position to the gunner.

After pressing a button, the loudspeaker on the back of the tank began to broadcast: "We are the rulers of Luzon, do not resist, accept our management..." The local language began to play.

boom!

The first person to get the musket fired at the tank. The huge green smoke showed that the quality of his gunpowder was good. If he could have fought with the Spaniards two hundred years ago.

"Fire!" the commander shouted as he began to operate the coaxial machine gun. This was why he sat down. This car was too crowded for four people.

Dong dong dong dong…

Different from Maxim's sound, this is Nanhua's first generation air-cooled machine gun, which adopts air-cooled sleeve mode, barrel short recoil principle, and has a rate of fire of 100-600.

However, the 300 fire rate can only last for three minutes, and the extreme rate of fire can only last for one minute.

boom!

Boom!

The naval type 47 gun was installed on the tank. Fortunately, the naval type at this time only had a longer barrel and a little thicker. There was no such mechanized turret.

squeak squeak squeak...

Car No. 2 chose to turn and accelerate, lined up with Car No. 1, and rushed towards the village.

"Devils! They are devils!"

The locals were blinded by the rapid-fire firepower, and the muskets could only leave white marks. Looking at the steel behemoth in front of them, fear overwhelmed everything, and they threw away everything they could and ran into the jungle.

boom…

The tanks collapsed the wooden walls and rushed into the tribal village. The electric speakers also played the local language on a loop, demanding surrender.

Dong dong…dong dong dong…

The sound of machine gun fire was unhurried. From the moment the first musket was fired, the village was destined to disappear.

Half an hour later, the survivors who had no time to escape were gathered into the open space in the center of the village.

Hatred has arisen, and only a handful of them can survive.

"We don't have enough manpower. Tie them up and clean up the unstable factors, except for those we need." The commander looked and saw that there were more than a hundred survivors, many of them old, weak, women and children, with fear or hatred in their eyes.

Young and strong people have abandoned everything and fled to the forest. He has seen this kind of thing many times. Before long, without any supplies, most of them will die in the jungle, and the remaining lucky ones can also spread their fear.

.

Finally, the captain left the village with six good-looking women and all the gold and silver utensils he had found.

All the remaining supplies were burned by the fire, but the farmland was still there, serving as bait. It was not very attractive at this time, but it would be different when their living space was further compressed.

………

At around six o'clock in the evening, two tanks returned to the camp, a small town under construction.

After sending the loot to the logistics office, the commander came to a small wooden house.

"Company Commander!" He opened the door directly, and there was a man inside staring at a book in a daze.

"Zhengyu is here, sit down." The company commander raised his head and said kindly.

"The five-kilometer radius has been cleared, and engineers can start building roads tomorrow." Liao Zhengyu said, leaving the tank and finally able to control his voice.

"Okay! Then your platoon will take leave first, and I'll give you...two days! There are only two days, and manpower is tight now..." the company commander explained.

"Thank you, company commander!" Liao Zhengyu knew that the company commander had taken care of them. If he only took one day off and spent most of the day maintaining the tank, it would be almost the same as not taking any rest.

"What else do you want?" The company commander looked at the hesitant Liao Zhengyu.
