319. Boiling beach

Abandon ship! The enemy has abandoned ship! Almost directly in front of us, the huge enemy ships were burning with flames, and the enemy screamed and jumped into the sea in the face of a hail of bullets, trying to escape the erosion of the frenzied fire!

What is especially speechless is that it was the warship in front of the place that abandoned the ship, but seeing that the friendly troops were trapped, the "smart" Spanish No. 2 ship actually chose to take the opportunity to turn around and stay away from this land of right and wrong!

Hehe, it's a good way to play! This is also a person with lofty ideals, is it to keep the fire? Hum! This gives us a way to live!

While I despise these cowards in my heart, I secretly rejoice in my heart that these Spaniards who love white-knuckle warfare have more than 700 sailors on each ship, twice the number of sailors on each of our ships!

Moreover, the top priority at the moment is that at present, there are a total of 60 special combat personnel who have landed on the ground, and we, the special combat personnel, have now become the main force sniping at the enemy! If it is an abandoned sailor of an enemy ship, the ratio of our combat strength is still 1 to 10 when considering battle damage!

I have just observed the equipment of these Spaniards, which comes standard with a bayonet or scimitar, plus a short sword. A few were armed with short guns, but there were also specialized, few musketeers.

During the training, he said that in special operations, the number of people is not the main basis for measuring combat effectiveness, but once it is transferred to positional warfare, the number is the most critical factor in determining the outcome of the battle.

Of course, this number is not a simple number pile-up, otherwise it would be nice for us to surrender in the face of this situation, but this is not the case. In Mr.'s words, this "quantity" actually refers to the combination of quantity multiplied by quality, plus some luck components.

I don't know much about the theoretical stuff, but in my own way of understanding, we are more elite than the enemy, so it is entirely possible to defeat the strong with the weak!

What's more, behind the "weak" side, there is also a strong fleet support, are those artillery pieces all decorations? Thinking of this, I glanced with contempt at the remnants of the enemy army who had jumped into the water and swam desperately towards the shore!

"Ready to shoot! Don't let them come close! I lowered my body, looked at the headless flies of the enemy, and continued to whisper: "All the staff are divided into three groups, take turns to shoot, and don't leave any room for fire!" ”

The three-stage strike is a clever tactic for musket shooting, and it is definitely not something I can master. But fortunately, there are such top musket masters in the team, so in the months since we arrived, on the empty and lonely sea, we have already practiced this skill!

The muskets we are currently equipped with are all improved from the Tanegashima musket, and Halleha is the best blacksmith and mechanic, although he lacks some creativity in fire*, but he is absolutely technically fine.

So the equipment of our special operations team has become this short-barreled, fast-reloading, medium-power musket! Since it is reloaded, and the magazine is simplified, it only takes two breaths to reload a bullet - that is, about six seconds, as Mr. said!

In addition, flint ignition is used, which eliminates the need to burn the rope, so you can complete a round of shooting in about ten seconds! Under the premise of mastery, the three-stage attack of sixty people is actually a firepower projection of one round every three seconds and twenty damage points per round!

That's pretty impressive firepower! I remember when I was studying art at the Toei Iga family, I heard my master talk about the use of the Oda family's iron cannons—as the most powerful and skilled daimyo in iron cannon warfare, this is how much firepower is projected in a single battle!

So my heart was already full of confidence, I controlled my breathing slightly, and quietly waited for the enemy to enter our firing range.

It's close! It's close! It's closer! At this time, the first group of enemy troops to jump into the sea have already entered our shooting circle! I resolutely ordered, "Three shots!" Destroy! ”

The special combat troops, who had been suppressed for a long time, immediately opened the floodgates of anger, and after the first wave of "bang-bang-bang......" shooting, more than a dozen enemy troops who were struggling on the sea and running in our direction were knocked down in an instant!

They screamed and fell, and the blood stained the sea or the beach red, but the surrounding enemy troops did not react to what was happening, only because the fire of our warships was extended, so they ran forward even more desperately!

After two or three breaths, with Hank's "put" command, the second round of shooting started again! More than a dozen people fell to the ground, and during this time, the enemy only ran a distance of less than ten meters!

At this rate, before they can run in front of us, they will already be harvested like leeks! But things will not be so simple, the two or three rounds just now are the two or three rounds that are the best under the enemy's unguarded situation, and after that, the situation will be much more complicated!

Sure enough, there was a sharp-eyed enemy soldier who had already seen us, and he pointed in the direction we were and shouted, so that more people could see us! Damn it! The period of efficient shooting has passed too quickly, and the following is the beginning of the real test of technology, strength and psychology!

The enemy began to lower their figures, and some even lay down in the water without legs, exposing only the nose above the surface of the water, greatly reducing the area of the bomb! And some of the bright-minded ones have taken advantage of the fact that the positive accomplices have attracted our attention, but they have quietly detoured to the sides. Run for your life or fight back against us!

This caused us a lot of trouble in shooting, after all, the enemy who was standing and facing us was far easier to fight than the enemy who was lying down and turning to the sides! Our shooting efficiency immediately dropped!

Thankfully, however, due to the fact that they were wading through the water to escape, the vast majority of the enemies either did not carry muskets, only long swords and short knives with them, or the muskets were too watery to shoot! This buys us a lot of time!

However, due to the large base of enemy troops, the tendency of them to slowly advance towards our positions has not changed, especially after the appearance of one of the enemy commanders, this situation is even more serious!

It seems that this enemy commander in a bright red robe is quite prestigious, and under his command, the enemy troops who were originally scattered and fleeing for their lives began to press our positions in an organized manner!

Although they are still in the wading stage, their formation is much more stable! At the shouts of this commander, someone even raised a musket that was not damp and began to fight back against us!

"Whew"! A bullet slashed by me not far away, and I couldn't help but frown!

These well-trained special effects team members are different from ordinary sailors, and do not belong to "consumables", but carefully cultivated fine products. While this represents strength, it also means minimizing losses.

In other words, ordinary sailors can recruit a lot in any port, while elite special fighters and loyal special fighters can only be cultivated slowly.

However, in such a good war situation, is it necessary to withdraw from the position because of the fear of loss? Special operations soldiers are precious, but they are not works of art that cannot be thrown or touched!

Since he is a warrior, his attributes of being born to fight will not change!

I glanced left and right, then turned my head and watched in the direction of the enemy ship I had placed in pursuit of the enemy's second ship. It seems that at least for a short time, we will have to deal with it on our own!

I gritted my teeth slightly and ordered: "The special combat team continues to shoot, change to two-stage shooting!" Ninja detachment on alert! Prevent the enemy from outflanking left and right! ”

Several detachment commanders answered one after another and went their separate ways.

The frontal fire was reduced by a third, the pressure on the enemy was greatly reduced, and the speed of the pressure seemed to increase a little. However, because we took care of the surrounding area, we put an end to a few of their plans to sneak attack.

Ninjas are natural special warriors, and they are even better than these newly trained guys! Therefore, although the opponent's sneak attack plan was very professional under the containment of the frontal pressure, it still had nothing to hide under the sharp eyes of the ninja detachment!

When the opponent's formation came to a hundred paces ahead of our position, the ninja detachments on both flanks began to shoot the main enemy force in the middle with crossbows* arrows without spotting a detour enemy! The enemy army was in chaos for a while, and the speed slowed down, so the two sides started a tug-of-war again!

Although it was a tug-of-war, the opponent had no change in the situation of forward pressure because there were far more people than us, and in the case of our fleet coming back at any time behind them, they had a reason to move forward!

At this time, for us in the front, the salvo can no longer play the role of shooting the enemy in a row, on the contrary, it can only reduce the effectiveness! So I ordered, "Free fire!" The enemy in front of the target! ”

The fighting spirit of the fighters is even higher! The sporadic casualties that appear cannot reduce their enthusiasm for killing the enemy - this is also a common characteristic of new fighters, they are enthusiastic, but lack of persistence, so this kind of free shooting that can be played freely by individuals is the most in line with their hearts, and their faces are flushed with excitement!

I don't care what they think, it's imperative that we get rid of the red-robed commander on the other side! This guy's emergency command ability is quite outstanding, and the other party is already under his command, slowly approaching our position, and there is no intention of stopping!

However, that guy is very cunning! Since he showed his face, he knew that his priority target was his first target, so this guy seemed very careful! Always hide half of your body behind your own sailors, and even if you look at us, only half of your face is revealed!

A few times before, the burner lurking beside me had the urge to shoot, but in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, I watched his right index finger hook back several times, but several times he relaxed.

I could feel his breathing sometimes tense and sometimes flat, but he was trying his best to suppress his breathing, mood and pulse to calm himself down, calm down a little bit!

It can't go on like this! I secretly said in my heart, I must find a way to let that guy show his face! But what can be done?

I looked at the looming figure of the other commander, and my heart suddenly moved! This guy seems to only show his face at important moments!

In that case, I'll surprise you! Thinking of this, I patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to find an opportunity on his own, while I quietly called in a few detachment commanders......

Spanish Commander Alfreque was a royal viscount, naval colonel, with a good educational background, and an honorary member of the Spanish Royal Guard, currently serving as the captain of the fourth ship of the Second Fleet of the Spanish Armada.

This time I came to Xinda*, I originally wanted to add another stroke of color to my glorious merit medal, but when I first arrived, I encountered an outrageous and extraordinary attack on the stronghold!

This is something that has never happened before, and it has never been imagined! After Alfreck found out about the situation, he immediately took the initiative to ask for help and pursued the fleeing enemy north!

With his eyes, it is impossible not to see the enemy's movements, but he is a real soldier and does not pursue in the direction knowing that there are no enemy troops, like other "smart soldiers".

However, what made him misjudge was that the enemy who destroyed the stronghold was indeed a small group of enemies, but he never expected that there would be such a large-scale enemy warship behind him!

Alfreyck was horrified to find that the enemy ships that appeared in front of him were all the latest British warships! And as soon as the cannon went off, he knew he had encountered a nightmare opponent!

He has repeatedly reported to Mr. de Guzmán for instructions to change the existing tactics of white-knuckle warfare, but to learn from the British and adopt a new style of artillery warfare!

But Mr. de Guzmán, who adhered to tradition, was a noble Catholic, the supreme commander of the Armada, but repeatedly rejected his proposal, believing that it was a sacrificial approach.

"You should really come and experience the battlefield for yourself!" Alfred looked at our ship and muttered. Soon, however, our artillery fire suspended his reverie and complaints, forcing him to adopt a humiliating posture of rejecting and evacuating.

But the nightmare didn't end, the rain of cannonballs poured on your own ships, and it seemed that you were really planted today! But Alflake was not willing to surrender like this, but looked back, looking for a good place to abandon the ship and land.

He found it! It's the corner where you came, the current is not fast and shallow, and it's a great place to land!

Everything happened just as he envisioned! Hit, abandoned, landed, retreated, but what he didn't expect was that there was an enemy detachment in front of him! It must be the one that attacked the stronghold!

He knew that this enemy army was not simple, so he led the team very carefully, advancing little by little, and also used roundabout outflanking and other methods to distract the enemy's attention!

He knew that the opponent's shooter was very powerful, so he had been hiding his figure as much as possible, but was this really a long-term solution? How long will it take for the enemy ships in the back to come back?

In fact, his heart is far more anxious than ours. Why hasn't the other side retreated? Do they really intend to die with themselves on the battlefield?

Just when he was suffering, Alfred suddenly found that the enemy on the position began to evacuate! Yes! Yes! They are evacuating! It seems that his pressing tactics made the opponent unable to hold that string in the end!

Such an opportunity must not be passed up! Alfred shouted in his heart that he must take this opportunity to break the enemy's position in one fell swoop! Win more escape space. Thinking of this, Alfreyk resolutely pulled out his saber, stepped forward and waved his knife and shouted: "Press up!" Press it up! Defeat them! ”

His voice was loud and passionate, which inspired the sailors around him! But at this moment, a crisp and loud gunshot suddenly rang out!
