1008 jumped into the trench
"Quick. Shoot. Captain Zhao Jun shouted loudly at this time. At this time, their combat distance was still more than three hundred paces, and the shooting distance of two hundred steps was far from reaching.
"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant deliberately reminded.
"Don't care so much, shoot immediately, don't let them come close, or we're done. The people of Qi want to find us desperately, let them come over, and we will be in trouble. Captain Zhao Jun said loudly.
"Shoot. Rapid fire. The second lieutenant shouted loudly at this time.
"Shoot. Fast. Shoot. "The sergeants immediately carried out the order.
"Bang." A Zhao soldier picked up a rifle in his hand and opened fire.
"Damn, I'm holding a rifle, and the combat distance is not yet, let's waste bullets?" A Zhao soldier scolded loudly.
", shot. Execute the command. One sergeant scolded.
"Damn it." The soldier with the rifle cursed.
"Bang." There was a thud. His rifle flew out countless projectiles. But these projectiles are far from being killed. In the hands of the soldiers of the Zhao army, there are still a considerable number of rifles, as well as pistols, and their combat distance is very close. Only some of the soldiers were temporarily reequipped with long rifles, and although many of them were reluctant, long rifles came in handy at this time.
You know, they are dismounted cavalry. There is a big difference between the combat weapons of cavalry and infantry weapons, and cavalry still rely on the impact to kill the opponent, that is, their tactic is to rely on the impact of horses to attack the opponent. Mainly use sabers to slash opponents. Pistol. Rifles are just for short-range shooting.
The long rifle is very unsuitable for infantry, because after the first shot, it is very troublesome to draw the second time. Rather, it was also cumbersome to the cavalry, so the cavalry needed shorter firing weapons, such as pistols, rifles, etc.
The long rifle, for them, is not a handy weapon. But after dismounting, they felt the important role of the rifle.
"Save bullets and don't follow those damn orders." At this time, the lieutenant platoon commander quickly walked behind the soldiers. Give orders in person.
"Be prepared for the shooting, when they rush to the barbed wire." The lieutenant said as he patted a rifleman.
"Yes. Sir. The soldier looked back at the lieutenant and said.
"Long rifleman, use the rifle in your hand to shoot accurately." The lieutenant came over at this time and said.
"Yes, sir." The soldier looked back.
"Good." The lieutenant said.
"Keep shooting, don't stop." The lieutenant said.
"Bang bang. Bang bang. The sound of the rifle kept ringing at this time. The occasional gunfire can be heard. Most of the junior officers, sergeants, after the shooting discussions, began to refuse to carry out the captain's erroneous orders. They think that by doing so, they are wasting their ammunition, and their ammunition consumption is very large. And it's very difficult to replenish. So, they think, save ammunition. In particular, the opposing side has not yet fully entered the effective firing range, and they should not have fired so early.
"Ahh The shirtless Qi soldiers were constantly hit by flying bullets and fell to the ground. After the soldier fell to the ground. The soldiers in the back immediately rushed up quickly. Take his place and continue to charge.
"Poof." The Qi soldiers were naked, holding rifles with bayonets, and charged forward desperately. A Qi soldier was hit in the chest by a flying bullet. The blood splashed all over the soldiers beside him, and the soldiers on the side still charged forward desperately, and after the soldier fell to the ground, no one cared about these anymore, and the other soldiers stepped directly over and rushed towards the position of the Zhao army without hesitation.
"Damn, we just don't have enough rifles." The captain found it very tricky. Because on the opposite side are crazy soldiers who don't want to die, and their way of fighting is simply to fight at any cost, regardless of everything. This kind of battle is not a fight for weapons at all, it is a direct fight for morale and the courage of soldiers. The captain was promoted directly from the soldiers. When he was cold weapons, he encountered the desperate charge of the Qin army, and that kind of lifeless fighting style impressed him the most.
"We have to stop them." The captain said anxiously at this time. The second lieutenant on the side could feel from his superior's emotions that his commander was a little disgusted and frightened by this kind of deadly fighting.
"We have to figure it out." The captain said to himself.
"Immediately, find the major, find the battalion commander, and ask him to transfer the artillery and send more men over, we can't hold it here." The captain said the second lieutenant of the direct team.
"However, we haven't been exposed to combat here." This time. The second lieutenant suggested.
"When the time comes, we will fight bayonets, and our losses will be even greater, go quickly. It's better to turn the cannon over. The captain said anxiously. The cannon in the captain's mouth refers to the cavalry's horse artillery. The caliber of the horse artillery is not large. There are usually one or two horses to pull it. Because the caliber is not large. The barrel can be made light. This makes it very maneuverable.
Although the power is a little smaller, it is still a very terrifying weapon against the infantry, it is worth noting that the cavalry of the Zhao army is not equipped with machine guns that are specifically used to deal with infantry, and the production of machine guns in the Qin State is very limited. The reason is that Qin's military needs are not very strong. And the price of machine guns is relatively expensive, especially the price of bullets, which use smokeless gunpowder. The price of black powder bullets is relatively common, but it is not very powerful. The use of black powder caused great damage to the barrel of the machine gun. Therefore, bullets are more expensive, and machine guns are still an expensive weapon.
Another reason is that Zhao Jun himself does not pay enough attention to machine guns. They believed that the cavalry itself was a specialized shock unit, and that it was completely superfluous for them to be armed with machine guns. Therefore, they were more repulsive to machine guns, so they were not equipped with machine guns. On the contrary, they attached great importance to the role of artillery, and they imported a certain number of horse artillery to strengthen the artillery power of the cavalry. Normally, it still takes a certain amount of time for the horse artillery to follow the cavalry, because their speed of action is not yet able to fully keep up with the speed of the cavalry. So, they were in the middle of the battle at the beginning. There are not many cases that arise. Only when the cavalry stopped, they could fight.
"Rush." The soldiers of the Qi army were still shirtless, and they came towards the Zhao army.
Soon they ran into the first line of defense of the Zhao army, the barbed wire fence in front. The Zhao army strengthened the defense of the barbed wire. The density exceeded the level of barbed wire set up by the Qi army itself.
"Poof." A Qi soldier didn't look at it, and pounced directly on it. And the Qi soldiers behind stepped on their bodies and stepped directly over. It was in this way that the Qi army spent the barbed wire fence of the Zhao army.
"Bang." Zhao Jun's rifle interfered with it. Qi soldiers also fired back.
"Poof." A Zhao soldier was shot. The Qi army's counterattack is still very effective, especially as the combat distance between the two sides is shortened, the probability of the Qi army's shooting will increase rapidly, after all, the Qi army has more experience in using muskets than the Zhao army.
"Shoot. Rifle shooting. At this time, the lieutenant saw that the other party quickly closed the combat distance. The gunner immediately fired.
"Bang bang. Bang bang. Boom. Shooting rang out quickly.
The Zhao soldiers with pistols and rifles fired at the Qi soldiers together.
"Ahh Bang bang. Burst. "A Qi soldier was hit by multiple bullets, and his body was broken. And another Qi soldier in the back was directly hit in the face by the flying shotshots. His face was suddenly beaten to rotten flesh. Blood was flowing, and the face became extremely nauseous. The eyes were dragged on the face, and the mouth was beaten into flowers. The soldier was in pain, grabbed his bloody face with both hands and fell to the ground.
The short weapons in Zhao Jun's hands At this time, as the combat distance was shortened, their firepower advantage was quickly manifested at once. The Qi army faced such a ferocious fire attack. Heavy losses.
"At that time, the barbed wire laid out on our front line was flattened by the corpses of the Qi troops behind us. This is how the soldiers of the Qi army stepped on the soldiers of their companions and attacked us directly. A Zhao soldier recalled after the war.
"Rush." In the face of such a fierce shooting, the Qi soldiers were still desperate to quickly kill the Zhao soldiers. They had no idea that in the face of such heavy fire, they would still advance wildly towards them. This was really a surprise to everyone.
"Keep shooting, keep shooting." The sergeant shouted loudly at this time.
"Damn it." A Zhao soldier cursed, hiding in the trenches, pulling out the runner and pouring out the discarded bullet casings from the bullet slot one by one. Zhao Jun has a considerable number of soldiers equipped with this kind of quasi-revolver, to be honest, the revolver does have an advantage in continuous shooting, especially in terms of rate of fire, one hand with a gun, the other hand quickly dial the pistol to shoot, such a rate of fire, like machine gun shooting. However, after shooting, it is very troublesome to reload. This is where the biggest trouble with this phone lies. After the shot, especially after the rapid shot. The cavalry needed to remove the swords for slashing, however, now in foot combat, they needed to reload, so that the heavy fire was immediately followed by a new weakening of fire, despite the loud shouts of the officer-non-commissioned officer. However, it is an indisputable fact that the firepower was immediately weakened.
After the Zhao army's firepower was instantly weakened. The Qi soldiers immediately pounced. They were only one step away from each other's positions. All they had to do was make a dash and jump into the trenches.
