"Brother, how many people do you say there are in the Qin Kingdom?" A Qi soldier asked, an older Qi soldier.

"Who knows, the people above said that there are only a few hundred people in the Qin State." The soldier of Qi said.

"Oh. But I heard that the last time we fought, there were more than 1,000 people, and more than 800 people died. You say, how did these hundreds of people fight. The Qi soldier asked

"Who knows." The GIs were also reluctant to talk about this topic, this was the first time that the Qi army had encountered such a heavy blow. More than a thousand people were beaten like that.

"I heard that Qin's machine guns are more powerful than ours." The GI finally made a crucial point. The Qin State had the number of automatic machine guns, and the firing speed far exceeded that of the revolver machine guns. The high-speed firing bullets of 500 rounds a minute, coupled with the serious lack of effective range of the weapons in the hands of the Qi army, gave the machine gun a lot of room to play. When the skirmishers are charging, as long as the machine guns are properly arranged. The defense system is complete, and the power of machine guns far exceeds the power of artillery.

"How powerful." The soldier asked.

"Listening to those who weren't killed, they heard a whining sound. It was a terrible sound. After the bullet penetrates the body, there is a large hole, and the flesh of the corpse of the dead person in front of it will be brought out. It's horrible. The GI said.

"Oh." The soldier just nodded hollowly. It was as if the soldier saw something bad.

The conversation between the two soldiers already reflected the panic of the soldiers in the Qi army. The reason why the Qi army adopted a defensive state, rather than launching a large-scale attack at the beginning, was because the Qin army used only the strength and weapons to inflict heavy losses on a team of thousands of people with relative ease, which was too shocking for them.

Especially the weapons in the hands of the Qin army, machine guns. The power of this weapon, whether in terms of power, range, and rate of fire, surpassed the imagination of the Qi army, and it was the first time they had encountered such a strong opponent. Moreover, the opponent's defense system is more complete than that of the Yan army.

In particular, the use of mine weapons, barbed wire only blocked the way for soldiers to charge forward, but the appearance of landmines made soldiers feel a great sense of fear. When advancing, the soldier had to be enough to step on. If the density is high enough, then it is possible to form a natural barrier. This kind of barrier not only has good defense, but also has high vigilance. In this way, it is very unfavorable for the Qi country that is on the attacking side.

In addition to these, there is also the location of the machine gun arrangement. The Qin State had already made machine guns the core of infantry weapons, and many weapon systems, as well as tactical movements, were centered on machine guns.

When defending, the Qin State concentrated on the machine gun as a defensive weapon, and began to pay attention to the coverage of the fire network between the two machine guns, especially the emphasis on crossfire, the Qin army had learned this trick when the enemy was repelled last time, they arranged the machine gun on the side, and concentrated the fire when the opponent launched a large-scale attack, so that the opponent's attack quickly collapsed under the double blow.

This is the power of double firepower, and the Qin army has already written this crossfire tactic into his textbooks.

"Shh A captain of the Qin army whispered. He was motioning for a platoon of soldiers he had just brought over to make a quieter sound, and he could hear the clash of rifles in the distance. This is a strike force sent by the Qin army, and they are not just reconnaissance. At the same time, you should also give each other a hard blow. Due to the fact that it was winter, the defensive positions of the Qi army were built very slowly. In some places, foxholes have not even been dug properly. Most of the Qi army slept in tents, and the defensive posts were relatively sparse, and they probably saw the Qin army as a passive defensive side.

In fact, many people in the Qi army have this view.

"We have more than 10,000 people, and the Qin army is only a few hundred, have you ever thought that a few hundred people will take the initiative to attack 10,000 people?" A Qi soldier said loudly.

"If it were me, I would do it." When a Qi officer heard the words of the Qi soldier, he replied to himself. Anything can happen on the battlefield. If you think about it from another perspective, you can see that the Qin army did not carry out passive defense, on the contrary, their fortifications always had great flexibility. This will be discovered if the Qi army attacks. But they were obviously wrong in believing that the Qin army had set up so many defensive lines just to survive for a while.

This kind of paralyzing idea is thought so by many people in the Qi army.

At this time, a black figure quickly ran into the ranks of the Qin army in the night.

"Sir, find out. In front, there are a large number of tents of Qi troops. There are a lot of people. The black figure said.

"Yes. How many sentry posts do they have? The captain asked.

"There were only a few people. And it's all concentrated next to the fire. The black figure said.

"Yes." The captain nodded.

"I'll go see what's going on." The captain said.

"Sir. We'll do that. The midshipman next to him said.

"No, officer, this matter must be done by those of us who are in charge of the matter in person. This is mentioned on the first page of the tactical manual. The captain said.

With that, the captain and the dark shadow disappeared ahead. The Qin army attaches great importance to the role of officers and non-commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers are able to give full play to the advantages of veterans, they are often able to complete some combat missions, and the task of officers is to command, so the Qin army attaches great importance to the judgment of officers, as well as the improvement of observation and analysis ability.

After summarizing most of the experience, Qin Jun believed that how officers could see the situation on the front line would deepen their understanding of the battlefield, and this level of understanding would greatly help officers make correct judgments. Because that's where the amount of information comes from.

"It seems that the soldiers of the Qi army are too cold." The captain said when he saw several Qi soldiers curled up next to the fire in front of him.

"There are very few Qi soldiers patrolling over there. And most of the Qi soldiers were in tents. These tents look like a lot and are dense, but for us. These people are still too scattered. The shadow said.

"Yes. That's right, if we shoot, it's just the ones who are killed, not the many of them. The captain said.

"So what are we going to do?" The Shadow Man said.

"Wait and see." The captain didn't have a good way, this position was explored by the Qin army himself, and they needed to dig out their mines and open up a road to get out. A platoon of the Qin army was about forty people. The average infantry platoon had three machine guns. And this infantry platoon was armed with six machine guns. Among them were three air-cooled tube-heavy machine guns, which were significantly lighter-weight thanks to the air-cooled version. In addition, there were three infantry machine guns, which later became light machine guns. This machine gun can be operated by one person and used in groups of two.

"It's one o'clock in the morning. It was about half past seven at dawn. Let's wait and see. Let the soldiers cover themselves with blankets. We're going to spend the night here. "The captain decided to launch his attack at dawn.

Because people were the most sleepy at that time, and it was also the time when Qi Jun got up early to eat, or gathered. At that time, the Qi army will all rise. The best moment to shoot is there.

At this time, the captain took out his blanket and put it tightly on his head, checked the time with a flashlight, and then took out a compass and put it on the map, and the captain began to mark what he saw on the map one by one, and he began to make plans for tomorrow.

And when the soldiers of the Qin army heard that they were going to spend the night here, everyone thought that it was crazy. I didn't need to put a good rest tunnel, and I actually ran here to get frozen. Can you fall asleep on such a cold day? All the soldiers were asking.

The logistics of the Qin army is not bad, especially the field equipment, in order to resist the cold weather in the north and the western regions, the logistics equipment factories of the Qin army have developed a special wool pad. This kind of wool pad is glued together.

At the bottom is leather. It is specially waterproofed, and then layers of linen cloth. This is to achieve the effect of breathability. At the top is wool. Used to protect against the cold, this kind of thing is specially placed on the ground, or leaning against the trench can effectively prevent the cold air from running up. This is very good for the soldier to maintain a stable body temperature.

In addition to this, there are thick blankets. However, at this time, the Qin State already had such a thing as a sleeping bag, but the specific use effect of this kind of thing was still in the testing stage, so this kind of thing was not equipped on a large scale.

"I think I'm going to have to catch a cold this night, it's such a cold weather." A Qin soldier scolded.

Although the Qin army was well equipped. But they are, after all, in the open air, in the wilderness, and in the dark, and it is winter, despite the thickness of their clothes. It's easy to freeze people in winter.

"Sir, it's not the way to go on like this." A sergeant suggested.

"I know. But we can't help it, tell the soldiers to hold on. The captain said. The captain is thinking about tomorrow's battle plan.

"Okay. I'll go for it. "The sergeant can't help it, the mission hasn't been completed yet, it's too early to say anything.

However, the Qin army should be content, they have thick sweaters, down jackets, and even military coats, and military boots lined with wool on their feet. As for the Qi army, their equipment is relatively backward, some soldiers still wear cloth shoes on their feet, only some soldiers have coats, even less clothes like down, and the quilts are thin when they sleep. Its warmth effect is far inferior to the thick blankets of the Qin army, and although the Qi army has tents, the temperature is still too low. Many soldiers had difficulty sleeping at night, or some soldiers were frozen to death. Therefore, the Qi army suffered far more than the Qin army.
