2782 Forgotten Wars
Peninsula. The 2nd Infantry Division of Goguryeo, the defensive line of the 7th Regiment.
"Bang." Not far away, a dull gunshot rang out.
"Ahh Then there was a scream.
"Damn the tribesmen, damn the barbarians." One of the soldiers cried out loudly, he was in great pain, his arm was shot by a larger flintlock pistol, the bullet did not penetrate it, it was not a good result for him, he covered his wound and shouted loudly.
"Medic, medic." A private stood by and watched dumbly, and he felt like he was about to collapse. This situation was absolutely unfavorable for him, because the trench in front was not very deep.
"Stop shouting. This wound can be solved directly with a bayonet. "At this time, a sergeant came over, he was bent over, unlike privates, such soldiers were transported by sea, they had not experienced the baptism of the battlefield at all, and naturally did not know that danger was around them.
"Such a wound, it is enough to dig out a bullet with a bayonet." The sergeant looked at the wounded man, who was still struggling. The pain had made him lose his mind, and he could lose control at any moment.
"Damn it, come here, hold him down. Don't let him move. That would make the situation even more ••••••" Before the sergeant could finish speaking, a dull gunshot rang out.
"Bang." The private's head was opened, and the splatters were everywhere.
"Boom." The private fell to the ground without pain, and his eyes still had that look of terror, which seemed to impress him greatly.
"Damn." The sergeant scolded. Then use your belt to control the opponent's arm. He must find the bullet, only in this way can the pain of the other party be reduced, and if he can't find the bullet, the trouble will be even greater. Surgery, a simple operation can solve such a problem, but the Goguryeo people obviously did not know what disinfection was, so they directly cut the wound with a bayonet and looked for bullets. In fact, very few people can be saved by on-site surgery, and most of them die from infection, which is far more painful than they imagined. Maggots, rotting, and all sorts of high fever complications, many people are tortured to death, but they still want to do it, after all, there is still a one percent chance of surviving.
He was not interested in the private, such people, who appeared every day, they were all recruits. When they came, the commander had already warned them to bend down, keep their bodies down, and not show their heads, but they were new recruits, and many soldiers on the battlefield committed taboos without knowing what was going on. If you die, you will die in vain.
"Another one died." Captain Li Dao, who was carrying a small black cauldron, came over and asked.
"Yes, sir, there's another one here, damn Southerners, they've learned to shoot black guns." The sergeant was not distracted at all digging for the bullet. He couldn't find it, he couldn't find it, he found his whole arm like he was turning through meat.
"Damn." Li Dao just scolded. And he crouched down on the edge of the trench.
"Bang. Bang. "The trench here began to return fire, after all, the flintlock pistol's bullets shot smoke, the fire was still very large, far less than the fixed gunpowder gun bullets, but the combat firing distance of both sides was only within a hundred to fifty paces, which was the effective range of the flintlock guns. Those bullets were fired at a very strange angle.
Li Dao looked at all this blankly, confrontation, they don't know when it started, the people on the opposite side of the peninsula no longer launched night attacks, their skirmish charging tactics caused them a lot of fear, if it weren't for a large amount of barbed wire, they might not be able to effectively hit such a group of people who are not afraid of death.
The tactics of the southerners were learned from the Qi people, who were short of ammunition at the beginning, but they invented the tactics of skirmishers, which required the army to be fully mobilized. The soldiers had to be extremely frenzied, they had only one chance to shoot, only a chance to have a second chance, and then they had to rely on bayonet charge tactics to crush the enemy, because neither side had a high rate of fire. The bayonet was the only weapon capable of quickly resolving the battle. With the crazy tactics of charging at night, they continuously suppressed the Goguryeo people and did not dare to move, they could only defend passively, and they kept building a large number of fortifications. The great depth, the multi-line fortifications finally put a stop to the crazy southerners, but the southerners also began to build fortifications, trenches, a lot of trenches dug up, and they didn't have barbed wire, and they wouldn't have launched a decent attack at all. But those trenches offered greater convenience, a catastrophic nuisance.
The southerners quickly learned another tactic, sniper tactics, and they had too many good shooters. They took advantage of the night to lurk, and then shot during the day, shooting a shot to change a point, and the Goguryeo people who were hit will continue to tilt more ammunition out, the result is that people are not hit more people exposed to become a live target for the southerners, in order to deal with this situation, the Goguryeo people also began to organize manpower to fight back, for a time, the two sides in the trench, between the barbed wire to shoot at each other, Goguryeo's only way is to let people not be exposed as much as possible, and most of the sharpshooters who shoot are also camouflaged, But even so, many people are still hit, and many people are killed and injured every day. Li Dao is used to it.
As he spoke, he pulled his iron pot down a bit, the only weapon they had to defend against bullets. They found that those iron pots could effectively defend against the attack of bullets, especially when the bullets hit the iron pot, the "ding" sound was enough to tell them that their heads were saved. The confrontation caused the appearance of the most primitive iron helmets, but this kind of iron helmets is still relatively rare, after all, there are not so many pots used on the battlefield, and this kind of pot is mainly used for cooking, and can only be used for self-defense when it is forced to do so. More Goguryeo soldiers began to look for defensive weapons they could find, some building several cans together, which could barely defend against the bullets fired at the farthest distance, but to defend at close range, they could only beg the heavens to open their eyes. But they didn't give up. Some soldiers began to cast some iron helmets, they just melted more iron nails, and the iron products they could find, and then simply cast, in fact, no different from iron pots, and most importantly, the kind of thing that was cast was very load-bearing, extremely load-bearing on the head, but it could effectively defend against bullets, only officers, sharpshooters would use this kind of thing, ordinary soldiers could only lower their bodies and walk back and forth in the trench.
"Sir, that thing is too heavy. It's better not to wear it on your head. "The sergeant has finished the operation. But the other party has passed out. Obviously, the Goguryeo people did not have anesthetics at all, and the Qin people did not have effective anesthetics to provide them, firstly, the kind of medicine was too expensive, and secondly, the Goguryeo soldiers were not worth that kind of money, but they could get cheap liquor and get drunk before they could perform the operation. And it's also the best bactericidal drug.
"It's not a good thing that I don't want my head to be punched like that private." Li Dao said.
"Sir, we're hiding in the trenches, we're going to get dizzy." The sergeant said.
"It's better for me to get dizzy. At least I can get some rest. I've had enough of this war. Damn war. Li Dao scolded. He kept waving his arms and scolding. For them, this war is a torture. Confrontation can make people lose their courage.
They saw their comrades being killed and wounded one by one, but they didn't have anything to do, the only way was to walk around the trenches with heavy helmets and watch their men get killed, and then they didn't know when they were shot by the other side, and there were all kinds of deaths. The head, the neck, and the chest, they have to be under tremendous pressure, this pressure makes them depressed, mentally extremely nervous, so nervous that they feel like they are going to collapse, but they don't collapse.
The best state of soldiers is not long after the start of the war, they will slowly eliminate the tension, and then return to the time of their training, followed by a continuous decline, a hundred days basically consume the soldier's sharpness, in a great pressure environment, most soldiers have psychological problems, this is a great test for them, many people can not bear such a big pressure.
"Damn it, war." The sergeant scolded.
"Bang." Gunshots rang out sporadically in the distance, I don't know if it was my own people or the other party's, the gunfire was sometimes intensive, obviously this side took the action of suppressing fire, and then the other side fired sporadically. Screams and shouts kept coming from the trenches, and the situation was even crazier than they had imagined.
The supplies of the southerners were temporarily cut off. They could not launch a larger offensive, and Goguryeo had established a more complete defense system, and both sides were constantly increasing their military strength, so they had no choice but to confront. This confrontation has given both sides a great opportunity to develop, and this opportunity is that they can use all weapons against each other, and long-range shooting has become what they think is the best way. Both sides are armed with rifled guns, and the sharpshooters will shoot their opponents around the battlefield with their weapons, and they will continue to eat each other's hapless soldiers like ghosts. A lot of people are losing their lives, and the terrible thing is that there is fear on both sides, because they can fall down at any time, and this fear is even more terrifying, which makes them feel very helpless, they can't leave here. This is a war that makes no sense, or a war that has been forgotten.
