Chapter 402: The two teams of foreign guns face off against each other

The Jiading Confederate Wing defending the south gate was mainly the French marines, and Qiu Jili was the presidential leader defending the south gate.

As soon as this militant saw the expeditionary force coming, leaving the soldiers on both sides of the city to defend the city, he rushed out with 10,000 French troops.

The reason why these 10,000 French troops were able to run rampant through the entire southern province of Annam was because they were well equipped. The rifles of the French marines were the best weapons in the world at the time.

This rifle is the last generation of rifles that have passed to the next generation, so it plays a steady role and is extremely lethal.

Seeing the army rushing out of the city holding aloft a blue, white and red striped flag, Mai Ke knew that it must be a French marine. Seeing the Annan soldiers standing on the city wall and the team wearing big tree shirts, there was no need to think about it, Mai Ke also knew that there must be a cat in it.

According to the information that Mai Ke knew, these three parties were fighting each other endlessly.

Knowing that the French army was equipped with foreign guns, Mai Ke immediately adjusted his deployment, transferred a team of 100 foreign guns, lined up in the middle, and lay on the ground, with the muzzle pointed straight ahead.

He also moved the 1,000 men of the sailors to the front, divided them into two teams of 500 men, and placed 500 men on each side of the foreign spear team.

This thousand-sailor division has the same weapons and equipment as the foreign gun team, but it is inferior to the foreign gun team in shooting technology. After all, the main energy of these elite sailors is still on naval warfare.

The French marines had already rushed out of the city gates, and immediately formed a neat line, divided into four squares, each with fifty men in each direction. As he marched, he beat the snare drum. Blowing the military horn, it exudes a murderous aura.

As the French military team walked in, these French soldiers could be observed more clearly. I saw that each of them had a rifle, and his right hand was resting on his right chest, which stood diagonally in front of his right chest, like a moving wood.

Suddenly, the sound of the drum changed, from the steady and powerful just now, to the brave and excited, and the rifle that was still standing upright just now. Lie down with a brush. The muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the expeditionary force.

As soon as the muzzle of the gun was adjusted in place, Qiu Jili broke off and shouted: "Release!"

"Boom!" the platoon guns burst out, and the sound was deafening,

It's a pity that it's a bit too far. The bullet has not yet flown in front of the target. It's already powerless to land.

At this time. Mai Ke also gave an order to shoot to his foreign gun team: "Shoot! Half a magazine." ”

Mai Ke then added: "Avoid the point!"

"Horn!" sounded like a broken gong, and then I heard the sound of "throw" and "throw". Like bees that have blown up their nests, they flew towards the French army in swarms.

The French troops, who were preparing to fire the second shot, were only then ready, and they came to the gunfire just now, and they could not help laughing at the inferior weapons of the expeditionary force.

And it is quite time-consuming for them to prepare the second shot, because after they have fired the first shot, they have to reload the bullets, march to maintain the formation, and do the technical work of loading the bullets.

Therefore, when they heard the sound of "losing" and "losing" coming to their side, they didn't pay attention at all!

The tragedy of the French army who took over these front rows walking.

The next second, they all felt a pain in their legs, followed by a sharp pain that expanded, followed by a thud of falling to the ground.

One look at the area occupied by the fallen French army, it is known that at least five or six hundred people have been knocked to the ground.

In the months since entering Annan, the total casualties of his entire Marine Corps have been less than one-tenth of that number.

The commander of the French army, who had suffered a big loss, saw that it was only one round of fighting, and so many people fell, so he jumped to his feet in a hurry and shouted: "Release!"

The bullets fired this time barely reached the expeditionary force, but it was already the end of the crossbow.

Seeing that the enemy would not give up, Mai Ke continued to order: "Release! ”

These eight bullets were gone, and at least fifteen hundred French troops were defeated. And the French only barely fired three rounds, or when they preemptively fired their guns.

The key gap was in the rifles, which the French army used rifles, which could only hold one round at a time. After hitting, the reloading process is repeated.

The rifle used by the expeditionary force is a semi-automatic rifle, also known as a Mauser gun, which can be loaded with one magazine at a time, with a total of eight rounds. Only after these eight rounds of ammunition are fired, it is necessary to load the bullets, and one is another eight.

It's just that when shooting, you still have to pull the trigger every time you tremble.

This technology is half a century more advanced than the rifle, and of course it is the result of Mai Ke's cheating.

With the function of moving objects and changing shapes, Mai Ke has updated the main weapon of the foreign gun team. This Mauser is a key result of this change.

The vast majority of the members of these foreign guns are retired soldiers from various countries, all of them are experienced and familiar with various weapons. As soon as I saw such an advanced rifle, I loved it very much, and it didn't take long to master the use of this weapon, and I became extremely proficient. There is an element of Mai Ke opening up to give bullets together.

It can be said that so far, all of these foreign gun team members are at the level of sharpshooters. Shooting at this distance will not miss the target if you close your eyes.

The magazine bullet just now, if it weren't for Mai Ke's order, it couldn't be beaten to death, and the efficiency would be much higher.

After the eight bullets were fired, Qiu Jili was directly blinded, and he really couldn't accept the number of casualties, 1,500 people, 150 people, he couldn't account for it.

In a daze, he directly broke the boat.

At this time, it was also the time for the foreign guns to change the magazine, Qiu Jili shouted: "Keep fighting for me!" and at the same time took the lead in rushing forward.

Although the foreign guns changed their magazines, the gunfire did not stop, and it turned out that the sailors and Mauser gunners on both sides filled the gap in this time.

The number of sailors was ten times that of the foreign guns, although the accuracy of their shooting was far inferior to that of the foreign guns.

Because the sailors fired from both sides, they could hit the enemy in the rear row with a greater area, so this round of fire caused even more confusion for the French troops.

The formation that was maintained at the beginning is finally no longer maintained. Qiu Jili knew that such a large casualty was caused by this rigid formation.

Qiu Jili was still an officer who could adapt to the situation, and at this time, he shouted: "Spread out the formation, shoot freely, and keep rushing!"

This timely change saved thousands of people from death and injury, because these soldiers who survived the disaster created a place where people could eat people compared to the meat grinder in front of them.

As soon as the French dispersed and charged, the foreign spears and sailors got out of the way, leaving the French soldiers who were trying to engage in close combat to the brother troops.

Now the French army also had a change in their weapons, and they used rifles with bayonets in their hands. Strictly speaking, though, it wasn't a bayonet in the true sense of the word, but a dagger tied to the tip of the rifle. It's also one of their innovations.

Now, the French army is facing the broadsword team that has been waiting for a long time! (To be continued......)
