Xu Zhongshu will watch the enemy's stragglers gradually approach, the distance of more than 250 meters is already a very good effective range range, this is about to order the whole regiment to shoot, suddenly the opponent's skirmisher line stopped, one by one with the help of the terrain to hide, but did not continue to advance.

Just when Xu Zhongshu was puzzled, he saw that more of the enemy's main infantry in front of him began to advance slowly!

He himself didn't think of it, and he didn't even know it, in order to pursue the hit rate and shooting accuracy, he let the troops put the enemy closer to the idea of fighting.

made Zhen Changdong a little confused.

Because the current situation is unreasonable!

Faced with this unreasonable situation, Zhen Changdong decided to continue to explore!

But instead of continuing to test with stragglers, he was preparing to transfer another regiment up.

If the other side still does not fire, then his troops on the front line will be at least 2,000 people, and when the time comes, he will directly order the charge.

If the other side fires, then there is no need to rush, just retreat, and there will be no losses.

After Xu Zhongshu saw that the other party had another group, he also hesitated.

To fire or not to fire?

The other side's regiment did not come from a straggler line, but came up in a dense line formation, and if such a line of troops rushed up and launched a charge, the impact would be very strong.

But if you fire too early, it's easy to startle the snake!

When the other party crossed 400 meters, Liang Chenglei of the cavalry saw that the first step corps still did not move, and he couldn't help but ask Xu Zhongshu: "If you don't fire yet, if you don't fire again, it's too late!" ”

Xu Zhongshu's palms were a little sweaty.

But it was Zhen Changdong who was more nervous than him!

His 21st Regiment had already lined up, which was only 400 meters away from the enemy's defensive line, and the other side did not fire.

Is it true that there are no breech-loading rifles?

Why don't you just go all out, line up the remaining regiment, add cavalry to pinch the flanks, and directly swallow the enemy troops on the other side?

But he was worried that the other party was tempting the enemy.

Therefore, it is also very entangled, whether to continue to let the 21st Regiment continue to advance or to retreat first, or to continue to increase the offensive force and kill the other party in one go.

But he was cautious by nature, and in the end he still did not make the decision to increase his troops.

And Xu Zhongshu on the opposite side, when he saw that the opponent's line infantry had already entered the range of 300 meters, he knew that he couldn't continue to wait, and if he waited any longer, it was estimated that they would directly charge.

It doesn't take long to run two or three hundred meters.

Immediately, he directly waved the command knife: "The whole army fires!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the First Rank Corps, who had been waiting for a long time, began to pull the trigger, and their target was the line of the 21st Regiment of the 5th Division of the County Guard, which was more than 300 meters away.

There is no way, although their line is too conspicuous, for the Aoyama rear-loading rifle, attacking such a conspicuous and dense target at such a distance, aiming a little is a dozen and one accurate.

After Tian Fangjie of the First Infantry Corps fired the first shot, he watched as an enemy officer on a horse that he was aiming at fell from his horse.

hit, he didn't cheer, as an infantry sergeant who has been in the army for seven or eight years, has fought for Cheng Lingfeng and Feng Haozhong, and now serves Lin Ziran, his psychological quality on the battlefield is absolutely excellent!

There are so many people killed here, and he has already lost the joy of hitting the enemy or the grief and anger of his comrades when they are hit!

Fighting on the battlefield is just a very ordinary job for him.

So after hitting the target, he didn't have any expression, and continued to reload, as the company commander at the top had already said when he gave a lecture, and he would shoot freely after firing.

The sergeant Tian Fangjie, who was lying on the ground, quickly reloaded, and after a few seconds, he finished reloading, and then re-aimed at one of the enemy soldiers and opened fire.

This time, he was too lazy to pay attention to whether he had hit the enemy or not.

The first thing you do after firing is to reload, then aim and fire, and so on.

Occasionally, he could feel the blast as the opposing cavalry guns returned fire, but they all hid behind the reverse slope, and in the little time before the battle, the soldiers also dug simple bunkers for themselves with small shovels.

Although the enemy's artillery threat is still there, it is not big, after all, the opponent's cavalry artillery is also a field artillery strictly speaking, which belongs to the direct-aim artillery and cannot be fired at a large angle, which is the specialty of mortars and howitzers.

As I fought, I slowly found that the dense line of enemy troops in my sight was gone, and only a group of soldiers who turned around and fled.

At this time, he set his eyes on the enemy hunters who were actually closer, but with the help of the terrain hidden.

Anyway, it's free fire now, and the officers didn't give the order to fire, so Tian Fangjie kept aiming at the enemy and fighting!

As he fought, he felt more and more soreness in his shoulder, a feeling he had experienced many times, especially in the previous battle outside Pingdan City, because of the frequent shooting, the huge recoil of the gun made his entire shoulder red.

More than 10 rounds of bullets are fired in a minute, and if you continue to fight for a long time, it is equivalent to constantly hammering your shoulder with a hammer, and it is normal for your shoulder to be red and swollen after a fierce battle.

The stragglers on the opposite side were not easy to concentrate, and they couldn't just aim and shoot as they had done before.

This time, Tian Fangjie took careful aim before shooting!

After the gunshot, Tian Fangjie's target arrived!

Still didn't feel anything, just silently reloaded, and then aimed at the second enemy again!

However, after firing more than ten shots, he found that it was difficult for him to find his target again!

Because those enemies were either knocked down, or turned and ran!

And the gunfire around them also stopped, and the friendly troops on the side seemed to have ceased fire, and their platoon was still firing intermittently!

He couldn't help but look back at the deputy platoon commander who was actually younger than himself!

"Platoon commander, are you still fighting?"

Not far from him, a young corporal lay on his stomach, his immature face was a little pale, and the left hand of this young corporal who had only been assigned to their platoon as platoon leader a few days ago was still shaking.

If you look closely, there is still a bloodied comrade lying next to the platoon commander, and you can see that he was unlucky enough to be hit by shrapnel from an enemy grenade.

The platoon commander didn't seem to hear Tian Fangjie's words, and he was still trembling there.

So Tian Fangjie shouted again: "Platoon commander, the other platoons have ceased fire, and if you continue to fight, the ammunition will be wasted!" ”

The rear-loading rifle they use is not an ordinary front-loading gun, this bullet is a fixed ammunition, even if it is not a full metal fixed ammunition, but it is also a semi-metal fixed ammunition, this thing can not be obtained by the front-line soldiers themselves with a simple dissolution of the mold, it must be produced in the production line of the Aoyama Machinery Factory in the rear.

In addition, the batch production time is not long, so even if the rear is rushing to work day and night, the output of bullets is still not large, and the rate of fire of the breech-loading rifle is very fast, and it often fights an accumulated battle, but the soldiers can consume dozens or even hundreds of bullets, so that the stock of bullets has not been much.

That's why it's often said to save ammo!

At this time, the young corporal reacted, and immediately hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, ceasefire, cease fire, cease fire, save ammunition!" ”

And then shouted: "Ceasefire, pay attention to saving ammunition!" ”

When he spoke, he seemed to notice that his left hand had been shaking, and immediately pressed it directly with his right hand, and even slapped his left hand several times with his right hand, although his young face was still pale, but his mouth was muttering: "Don't be afraid, manly man, fight for the unification of Daheng, don't be afraid of ......"

But as he spoke, his left hand kept shaking, which seemed to make him a little anxious, and the tears were about to stay.
