On the contemporary Blue Star, if there were no people who had witnessed this battle with their own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine the pressure on the army of the Three Thousand County Guards at that time.

They were subjected to an unprecedented level of intense fire, even beyond their imagination.

This dense shooting is not an exaggerated word, but a real one!

Lin Ziran's First Infantry Corps of the Sixth Division, with nearly 2,000 men, used Qingshan rifles to fire continuously, spraying bullets at the opponent's dense line formation with a rate of fire that exceeded that of the front load.

The next scene was a complete shock to both sides of the enemy, under the dense bullet fire, those more than 3,000 soldiers who lined up in a dense formation on the field, carrying guns, and marching forward with steady steps, fell in pieces like wheat that had been cut down!

That scene directly made the army of the county guard on the opposite side dumbfounded!

Not to mention them, even Xu Zhongshu, who was commanding the battle at that time, was dumbfounded!

Xu Zhongshu, who has been in the army for many years, has not seen the casualties of soldiers in patches, but most of them occur when they are bombarded by intensive artillery fire or salvos at close range.

But the situation at that time was that it was not a dense artillery attack, let alone a salvo of only twenty or thirty meters at a close range, but a shot from three hundred meters away!

But that's it, the soldiers of the other side are also falling in pieces!

Next, in less than two minutes, the other party just couldn't hold on and collapsed.

They rushed up and thought that they would make a dense charge to the first group of stragglers in a dense formation, but they did not expect that they had suffered heavy casualties just close to three hundred meters, or dense casualties that were difficult for them to understand.

Finally a complete collapse!

This situation made Xu Zhongshu even forget to command the troops to launch a pursuit, well, in fact, in their battle plan, there was no plan to pursue the battle after the enemy army collapsed, and then expand the results.

Because at that time it was simply not imagined that this could happen.

After all, all they are preparing is a tentative attack!

It was just a hastily launched, not even fully prepared tentative attack, and it did not think of directly crushing the thousands of enemy troops.

However, the Aoyama rifle, a breech-loading rifle, was put into actual combat on the battlefield for the first time, and it achieved extremely surprising results, which directly led to changes on the battlefield that far exceeded the expectations of both sides.

Even Lin Ziran didn't expect this situation.

He knew that the power of the rear-loading rifle was very great, but he didn't imagine that it would be like this, let alone that the other party would stupidly take the initiative to line up and try to attack his own straggler formation.

But then I was relieved when I thought about it.

Although the Qingshan rifle is a rear-loading rifle with great tactical advantages, the fundamental reason for such a big battle is that the opponent does not understand the rear-loading rifle and the new light infantry tactics, resulting in a light enemy.

They stupidly ran out in line by themselves, and slowly advanced in a dense formation, which was completely to use their first step as a target for their own army!

After winning the first battle, Lin Ziran was naturally in a happy mood!

As soon as the battle ended yesterday, Lin Ziran ordered to go back to Qingshan Town to give Boss Wang, who was in charge of Qingshan Machinery Factory, a promotion and a salary increase.

After all, it is not easy for Boss Wang, he is busy urging the laboratory and production line to work every day, and I heard that the number of gifts and candies given to the children at home during this period is less.

At the same time, it is also for Boss Wang to organize more manpower and equipment to modify as many rear-loading rifles as possible.

Lin Ziran naturally expressed his success in the first battle of the First Step, and the rewards for some meritorious soldiers were actually announced immediately yesterday, but today, Lin Ziran personally came to the front of the First Steps Corps to inspect and comfort the soldiers of the First Step.

Looking at the many energetic young faces in the First Step Corps, Lin Ziran was even more satisfied, these are his own soldiers.

Almost all the officers in it were also trained by him personally, especially the battalion commanders and company commanders, all of whom were born in the camp academy.

Now that the camp academy has been held for many sessions, it has already trained a large number of officers, which is enough to meet the needs of all departments of the Sixth Division for middle and lower-level officers.

After the inspection, Lin Ziran held a campaign report meeting directly at the regimental headquarters of the First Step.

The main thing is to let Xu Zhongshu and other officers who came to the front line in person from the First Steps Corps report on yesterday's battle, after all, they are the officers who came to the front line, and their actual experience is more important.

The officers of the other units listened carefully one by one.

Yesterday's battle of the First Infantry Corps, they saw it clearly.

Everyone is a career officer, and they already feel that the pattern of future warfare is going to change.

Just like in the Heng Olympic War decades ago, when the Daheng Army first used large-caliber field artillery and even siege heavy artillery on the battlefield on a large scale.

From that time on, artillery became the protagonist of the war completely.

Before the Hengao War, although artillery was also very important, it could not be said to have a direct impact on the outcome of the war.

However, after the Heng Olympic War, the strength of the artillery will directly affect the outcome of the war.

Otherwise, everyone would not have developed artillery in one fell swoop.

If you can, everyone else would like to get some infantry or something, how cheap it is.

It's not like the artillery thing, it's just burning money.

And this time, the appearance of the breech-loading rifle, combined with the use of light infantry tactics proposed by Wu Guanlin, has exerted a huge effect.

In a skirmish formation, or even with the help of terrain, it can effectively evade artillery bombardment, so as to avoid the greatest threat of artillery in the era of line columns: shelling the enemy's dense infantry phalanx at a long distance, causing heavy casualties to the enemy's infantry ranks, and even forcing the enemy's dense ranks to collapse, no matter how bad it is, forcing the enemy's formation to change formation.

Once the formation is scattered, your own dense infantry formation can rely on the formation to form a more dense infantry fire and shock, and then crush the enemy in one fell swoop.

However, the current straggler formation has made the artillery of this era lose this lethality.

The most important point is that even this kind of skirmish formation, when equipped with rear-loading rifles, can still exert far more firepower than the traditional dense front-loading gun line, and then cause a large number of casualties to the enemy infantry.

These important changes mean that the pattern of warfare in the future will change dramatically.

When the officers below were talking about the gains and losses of yesterday's battle, summing up the advantages and disadvantages, Lin Ziran was already thinking about the breech-loading rifled gun.

Just before the meeting began, he had just received news from Qingshan Town, saying that the researchers of the Qingshan Ordnance Factory had built the first rifled test gun after the port.
