On the Eastern Front, the Qi army actively launched local counteroffensives in order to force the Yan army to retreat to the vicinity of the original national border. As the Qin army withdrew the airship. This also deprived the Yan army of a certain air superiority, and if there was air superiority, the Yan army could rely on the presence of the Qin army's air "gunboats" to suppress the Qi army's counteroffensive. But now the situation has changed significantly, and the Yan army has not only lost the air superiority on which they depended, but also their morale.

The number of deserters in the Yan army is increasing. The front line has been reduced from 70,000 or 80,000 at the beginning of the war to less than 50,000, and almost all of these 50,000 are temporary recruits. A large number of experienced veterans fled nearly seventy percent, and all of them joined the war in the north against the mountains and Korea. And for the operation on the Eastern Front, it was completely ignored. Even if they owe a few months of wages, they will completely ignore it. Because they know that it is impossible to get the money back.

King Yan privately embezzled a large amount of military funds to build his own palace. In the entire Yan capital, only the palace of King Yan was the most luxurious, and the rest were dilapidated. The serious shortage of military spending has led to extremely low morale. The reason why the Yan army has been able to hold out until now is completely because of the support of the Qin State. Of course, the Qin State also received a lot of benefits, gold, low timber prices made the Qin State's paper industry and furniture industry prosperous. A large amount of ginseng, leather, and fur gave the Qin State a new material for clothing.

And the Yan army on the front line is completely in a state of disregard for life and death. In the area controlled by the Yan army, guerrilla attacks were quite frequent. Qin reporters unscrupulously took pictures around with all-aluminum cameras, as long as Yan Jun dared to violate "humanitarianism." "Qin reporters will report, and the report of public opinion will often force the Qin government to withdraw the supplies that have been aided. This made it impossible for the Yan army to fundamentally eliminate guerrilla warfare. In desperation. Usually the Yan army will gather thousands of people to get on the road. On the road, it is forbidden for any Qi people to approach within a hundred paces.

The guerrillas in the area of control were unscrupulous. And on the front line, the activities of the Qi army on the front line were extremely frequent. Because they began to be armed with a new type of pistol. This is the pistol with the Free Bolt. In particular, the use of smokeless gunpowder and the use of new pistol cartridges with a double base fire, the use of a new type of primer greatly reduces the likelihood of a dumb fire of the pistol, which is reduced by one in a thousand. As a result, the semi-automatic pistol of the Free Bolt was used, and the sales of this pistol in the Qin State were not very good, because the reputation of the revolver was much higher than that of the semi-automatic pistol. Moreover, this semi-automatic pistol is fed with a magazine, although the magazine can be filled with eight to fifteen rounds. But if you encounter a dud, it is not comparable to a revolver that can be quickly toggled. At this point, the Qin people stuck to their own understanding. So the pistol turned to another market. Six countries market.

However, the pistols of this period used a single-action trigger that was commonly used in the early days, and the so-called single-action trigger refers to the function of releasing the hammer, which can only be fired by pulling down the hammer with the finger (or the action of pulling the slide to load), but the second trigger can be fired directly. (After firing, the sliding sleeve will retreat and throw the shell, and at the same time re-press the hammer to the ready position) The advantage is that the trigger is faster and less labor-saving, so the shooting accuracy is better; The disadvantage is that it will fire as long as the trigger is touched, so the "manual bumper" must be closed when the loaded is carried, resulting in a slower first shot, and it is easy to misfire when the safety is opened in advance.

When this pistol was used in the western part of the Qin State, there were frequent incidents of misfire and casualties, so this pistol was not optimistic. On the contrary, the people of Qi are very optimistic about this powerful single-action trigger pistol. The reason for this is that they formed several commando teams. The assault teams quietly crossed the opposing trenches, used wire cutters to dismantle the barbed wire, and then pulled off the hammers and jumped into the Yan trenches, where the small, nimble, and powerful pistols would fire immediately if they met resistance. There are many pistol bullets used by the Qin State, but the Qi State is particularly fond of the point 50 pistol bullets. This pistol bullet can knock an opponent down with a single shot at close range. Although the magazine capacity is only eight rounds, it is already quite terrifying for a single-shot rifle and a rifle that does not have a magazine to shoot.

In the small space of the trenches, the shortness and precision of the pistol made the Yan army feel terrifying, and usually as long as this kind of repeating pistol was fired, many Yan soldiers would naturally retreat in the other direction. Because their long rifles are simply not suitable for fighting in such an environment.

Up to four to six people can shoot within the section within a trench. And it is loaded after shooting. It usually takes time to shoot the next soldier. The pistol used by the opponent can use this free time to shoot continuously.

The weapons used by the Qi State Commando are also very strong, and the Qi State generally uses the Qi State short sword, which is a fighting short sword used by Qi State technical fighters, but it gives the commando soldiers a strong and terrifying weapon, and the commando soldiers usually use a light pistol to shoot with one hand, and the other hand holds this fighting short sword for hand-to-hand combat. This method of warfare is extremely powerful and aggressive. A large-caliber bullet from a pistol can render an opponent incapacitated with a single shot, especially if fired at about ten paces. This pistol is the same as the M1911 rifle that the U.S. military is equipped with. High-powered bullets can easily kill an opponent or fall to the ground on the spot. When the opponent sprints with the bayonet-mounted rifle, the short sword can easily parry the bayonet charge, and then cut the opponent's neck upward. This tactic is usually difficult to fight back, because the narrow trenches and slender rifles make it impossible for soldiers to react smoothly in time to withstand the opponent's fatal blows.

So on the Eastern Front, the commandos of the Qi army relied on such advantageous weapons to launch a frenzied counteroffensive. After the assault team cleared and expelled the opponent, the Qi army would take advantage of the night to launch a large-scale counteroffensive. In order to effectively avoid the fierce counterattack of the Yan artillery. The Qi army will choose to attack at night. After the assault sortie. There will be about 500 people quietly and stealthily advancing to each other's place. After the commandos burst into gunfire. Usually indicates that the commando team has succeeded. These people will move forward immediately. They will quickly rush into the opponent's trenches. Take advantage of the narrow environment of the trenches to fight your opponents. This kind of combat method made Yan Jun feel very headache. Even the Qin Army Observation Group was troubled by this kind of small detachment assault tactics, and even the excellent Qin Army troops found it very tricky to encounter such a situation. This is not by the advanced weapons, but by the courage and resourcefulness of the double-shot soldiers. Obviously, the Qi army has an absolute advantage.
