The 782 showed its face as a Type 57 rifle
When the green battalion soldiers marched to one hundred and fifty meters with drumming, Wei Hong waved his hand lightly on horseback, and the heralds around him immediately shouted: All ~ body ~ pre ~ ready!
The shouts of the heralds made the 100-meter-long line quickly move through the relay transmission, accompanied by a loud sound, the rifles that were originally erected on the chests of the soldiers were all flattened, and then, the line array came from the sound of passwords one after another---- which were all kinds of military orders issued by the company platoon commanders:
"A platoon of preparation!"
"Second Platoon Ready!"
"Three rows ready!"
"Steady!"
"Aim!"
……
Soon, Wei Hong took out a flare gun from his arms and pointed it ahead, and when he watched the enemy's array step into a hundred meters away, he decisively pulled the trigger.
A red flare flew over the soldiers' heads and flew forward, signaling to fire.
At this moment, the chief soldier suddenly saw on his horseback that a line of gray-white smoke suddenly rose from the array in the distance, and then there was a continuous roar.
Accompanied by the roar, is the sound of the bullet whistling past the ear, and then, a projectile "Bang" hit a personal soldier under the head of the adult horse, probably the reason why the projectile just hit the metal helmet, the crisp explosion made the general soldier's heart jump, and the soldiers around him fell silently without even having time to make the sound of **, and a pool of blood flowed out of the head of the unlucky egg lying on the ground, soaking the slightly dry grass.
The first feeling of the chief soldier is that the firecrackers in the opponent's array have masters who are good at this, the so-called capture of thieves and kings, shooting people and horses, after all, he is the commander-in-chief, and he is the commander of the entire team, and it is understandable that the opponent's firecrackers concentrate their firepower to hit themselves.
Therefore, the chief soldier on horseback only glanced sideways at the pro-soldier lying on the ground, and it was a pity that the pro-soldier was still serving him in the tent last night...... However, this was only a flash of flint lightning in the mind of the chief soldier, and after that, the chief soldier left all this behind, and saw the chief soldier immediately draw his saber and turn back to the crowd and shout: "Beat the drum!" Blow the trumpet, fast forward!
At this critical juncture, the battle-hardened commander made what he thought was the only right decision - to rush to the front quickly and engage the enemy in close combat.
At this time, both the chief soldier and the thousands of generals and personal soldiers around him all thought that the military order of the chief soldier was very correct, and they all knew that they had to rush forward to fight the enemy hand-to-hand before the enemy shot the second round of projectiles.
Obviously, in the face of this mere distance of two hundred paces, and looking at the ridiculously thin array, even if the enemy temporarily changes formations, there will still be confusion and flaws---- at that time, the guys in the hands of the brothers will be bloody!
So everyone shouted decisively, and suddenly accelerated the pace of advancement, especially a group of personal soldiers led by a few thousand generals, who quickly stepped forward - this was an excellent opportunity for meritorious service.
However, all of a sudden, something suddenly seemed wrong!
Before they could take a few steps, another puff of gray smoke rose from the array in the distance, and then the projectile whistled again, this time more people were hit and fell to the ground.
However, the green battalion soldiers did not stop because of this, the chief soldier whipped the war horse under his crotch, and then rushed to the front with his own soldiers, at this moment he has only one belief - rush forward and have a hand-to-life fight with the enemy!
However, such a belief was soon ruthlessly shattered by the reality of fate---- a projectile happened to hit the war horse of the chief soldier, and the projectile directly drilled into the neck of the war horse, and blood splashed immediately.
The fourteen mm caliber lead bullet had great kinetic energy after firing out the muzzle, and the heavy blow made the war horse rise backwards, and then after a terrible neigh, the war horse fell to the ground heavily, and as a result, the chief soldier was thrown behind the horse, and when he stood up tenaciously, a bullet flew and hit the chain mail in his chest, and the fine iron lock flew apart, so the fourteen mm caliber lead bullet ruthlessly drilled into the ribs of the chief soldier, and the soldiers next to him could even hear the crackling sound of broken ribs......
At this moment, Chen Jiujin's company had already achieved six platoon gun shots in 30 seconds, and the other companies on his left and right had also fired at a rate of about four times.
In fact, the head-to-head duel between the Australian army and the green battalion soldiers only lasted less than half a minute before it ended, because the phalanx at the front of the green battalion collapsed in just half a minute - because the chief soldier died, and two of the five thousand generals were also shot and lay on the grass with unknown lives, and their own soldiers were even more seriously killed and wounded. The once thick phalanx was now only a broken tail and a scattered banner.
There was no suspense that the two phalanxes that followed immediately disintegrated.
In this half-minute period, 1,500 Type 57 rifles fired about 6,000 projectiles at a distance of 120 to 70 or 80 meters.
Facts have proved that it is indeed as Boss Luo and they promised, at a distance of 100 meters, the theoretical hit rate of the Type 57 rifle has reached more than 10 percent, of course, this is only a theoretical scientific calculation, in fact, because of the influence of the wind direction and the smoke fired in the wilderness, the real hit rate is about three percent, and it is estimated to be between seven and nine percent.
This is also confirmed by post-war statistics.
Therefore, it is only necessary to perform simple arithmetic calculations to estimate the losses suffered by the enemy: in just half a minute, more than half of the phalanx of the Green Battalion was killed and wounded by a frontal platoon of guns, and at this time nearly four hundred people were lying on the battlefield, not counting a dozen war horses.
For the premature collapse of the green battalion soldiers, Wei Hong's Xiao Ai was somewhat disappointed, they originally thought that the other party would rush to a distance of sixty meters, in this way, the 57-style grenade @ bullet can play a role, but it is a pity that this battle did not let the 57-style grenade @ bullet show its face, but made the 57-style rifle come to the fore.
On this point, Wei Ai and the two have their own tasks, don't forget, those of them who are overseas, have the responsibility to promote Australian goods, especially arms, especially the arms project that the brothers are selling to Chen Shangchuan, the focus is the five-seven grenade @ bullet, according to Huang Lei, if the profit margin is calculated, the five-seven grenade @ bullet is three times that of the federation type 1 single-shot handcuff!
Well, it seems that the five-seven grenade @ bomb needs to find another opportunity to show its face.
Just when the green battalion soldiers began to retreat, Wei Hong fired three more red signal flares into the sky, so the ambush soldiers led by Chen Shangchuan and Chen Anping were killed from the Moon Temple in the west of the official road and the woods in the east, at this time, the green battalion soldiers who had no morale at all suddenly became the lambs to be slaughtered under General Chen, and the green battalion soldiers at this moment were unable to re-establish the array to carry out effective resistance, except for a few thousand general adults who escaped from Tongming Creek under the desperate breakthrough of the pro-soldiers, the four thousand green battalion battle auxiliaries, in addition to the four hundred dead and wounded, Except for more than a thousand people who escaped, all the rest surrendered.
The battle was won by the Australian army without a single casualty.
Obviously, the pursuit of the stragglers in the rout is not the strength of the Australian army, when the enemy on the opposite side was defeated, Wei Hong and Xiao Ai did also issue an order to pursue, but when the pursuit detachment with the squad as a unit pursued farther and farther, Wei Hong timely Mingjin withdrew the troops, and the two brothers tacitly left the remaining tasks of cleaning up the battlefield and chasing the remnants of the enemy to Chen Shangchuan's team.
The reason why Wei Hong and Xiao Ai did not let the garrison soldiers continue the pursuit was to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Wei Ai and the others both felt that it was not necessary to pursue even if it was a squad, because the brothers did not want their team to suffer accidental casualties, especially in the process of pursuit, the enemy might be trapped and fighting, then hand-to-hand combat might occur, if that was the case, casualties would be inevitable.
Wei Hong and Xiao Ai both know that for us, it costs a lot of money to train a qualified soldier, so not to mention from the perspective of humanity and humanity, only from a practical and utilitarian point of view, the lives of Australian soldiers are also very precious---- so in the case of victory, soldiers cannot be sacrificed in meaningless hand-to-hand combat.
