Zheng Sen expected that the Model Army would have a clear advantage over any unit in the field during the day, at least in Asia. But as a piece of equipment mainly for the heat. Soldier. hand-to-hand combat is almost entirely dependent on bayonet troops, and in night battles, this advantage may be somewhat reduced. And those armies that are inferior may deliberately choose to fight the model army at night, so the model army attaches great importance to night combat training. However, although the Model Army has special night combat training, these training is more based on how to defend at night than on offensive combat.

So when Zhu Hongjian and his company approached near the camp gate of the Shun army camp, he suddenly found that the situation had changed a little, so that the original plan seemed to be not working. The fire near the camp gate was completely out of control, the flames were so overwhelming that it was impossible to get close, and the defenders were long gone.

According to Zhu Hongjian's original idea, he first took advantage of the chaos to grab the camp gate, and then guarded it, and waited for the arrival of the army to take advantage of the situation...... However, there were no defenders at the camp gate today, but because of the fire, they could not occupy it at all. It was not even possible to penetrate the camp gate and storm the enemy camp.

"Company commander, why don't we go over there and find another camp gate?" Liu Bo asked.

"Another camp gate?" Zhu Hongjian thought about it and shook his head.

The other battalion is still far away, and by the time everyone has killed them, perhaps the enemy has already reacted, pacified the army, and prepared for defense. Although in fact, the Shun army does not have the ability to complete this series of things in such a short period of time in the dark night, Zhu Hongjian does not know much about the situation of the Shun army, and the army he is most familiar with is the model army himself. With his own life, Zhu Hongjian felt that no matter how bad the other party was, he should be able to make a suitable response for such a long time. The Model Army does not advocate attacking at night unless the opponent is completely disorganized, has lost command and is demoralized. Otherwise, even if the model army wins the night battle, theoretically, the exchange ratio will definitely not be as good as during the day.

"We're going straight over that section of the camp wall over here." Zhu Hongjian said, "Then go directly to the place where there are many enemy troops, hit them with palm thunder and shotguns, and set fire by the way, make the momentum bigger, and create more chaos as much as possible." The enemy army will certainly not be able to judge how many of us are in the chaos, and it will be difficult for them to make effective decisions, and our attack will certainly further exacerbate their confusion, and if they do not do it well, it is possible for them to have a melee on their own. At the very least, we can prolong their chaos for a little longer, so that when our reinforcements arrive, we will have to face an enemy army that is completely in chaos. You will also receive medals and awards for your exploits in such a war. ”

The high morale of the Model Army is not a castle in the air, but is built on two foundations, one is the brainwashing of nationalism, and the other is rich material rewards. All soldiers who participated in the battle were paid a piece of land in Taiwan or Luzon. If you make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, you will be rewarded with generous bonuses, prizes, and more, better land. These things, especially the land, play a very big role in boosting the morale of the soldiers, so when I heard the company commander Zhu Hongjian talk about "medals and awards", although all the soldiers knew that the company commander's battle plan was very risky, all the soldiers expressed their support for it.

"Rich and dangerous, do it!" A soldier said.

"That Su Lie, the one who was said to be black, led more than 100 people to defeat the Turks. Although those rogues are all Chinese, and Chinese should be born to be better than barbarians, but after all, rogues are only rogues, and they should not be much more powerful than Turkic barbarians. I think it works. Another soldier said. There are instructors in the model army, and one of the duties of the instructor is to help the soldiers deal with some written affairs, such as writing or reading letters; The other is to tell the soldiers the stories of the Chinese martyrs. The story of Su Dingfang, an expert in the destruction of the country, is naturally often mentioned, so the soldiers in the model army are still very familiar with this legendary general who was later blackened by the Romance or something.

"Alright, follow me in." Zhu Hongjian said, "Then we scattered in platoons and fought separately, creating as much chaos as possible." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Be careful when you go in and set fires, pay attention to the direction of the wind, and don't trap yourself in it." Now, action! ”

The soldiers crossed the unguarded camp wall, then divided into four groups and, by the light of the fire, felt towards the place where the people were buzzing.

Zhu Hongjian and Liu Bo walked a few steps with a platoon together, and they encountered a group of chaotic Shun troops head-on. These Shun soldiers were all fire-fighting gadgets in their hands, and they didn't have any weapons, and they ran over in a hurry, completely oblivious to the model army on the other side. The Model Army did not attack immediately, but waited until they were no more than twenty paces closer before launching a volley from their shotguns, followed by a palm mine.

The Model Army's shotgun is one of the weapons that the Model Army has prepared for night battles. It has two parallel barrels, each of which has a set of independent firing mechanisms. In this way, this front-loading shotgun can fire two shots in a row. Each shotgun has 12 small iron balls, which are fired in a fan shape from the shotgun. The range of these shotguns is quite limited, and after thirty paces, the bullets will not know where to go, but at thirty paces and so on, this gun has a very good hit rate and lethality. In many cases, if the opponent is dense, it is even possible to knock over several enemies with a single shot. Zheng Sen, as well as other generals of the Model Army, felt that in the night battle, the distance between the two sides would be shortened, and this kind of close-range powerful gun was a sharp weapon for night combat.

This round of volleys immediately put down a large row of Shun troops on the opposite side, and then a string of palm thunder fell to their side again, and exploded with a bang. These Shun soldiers suddenly became confused, they threw away those fire-fighting tools, left behind the wounded but not dead Shun army comrades, turned around, shouted and shouted things like "the official army is coming", turned around and ran.

"Catch up, chase them, don't let them stop!" Zhu Hongjian shouted and chased after him with a platoon.

Almost at the same time, gunshots and explosions were thought of in several other directions, as well as shouts of killing.

"Capture Li Zicheng alive!" Zhu Hongjian shouted while chasing.
