750 melee
Subsequently, the Qin army continued to use machine gun fire. Since it was early in the morning. So, a lot of flares kept flying into the sky. For lighting.
"On the left," a corporal of the Qin Army Marine Corps kept talking. And he kept looking around with a periscope, and whenever there was any trouble, they had to use machine guns to strafe them, because there were no sheep and no one else present. The Qi people were cunning enough to use the yellow weeds as cover, while the Qin army did not have incendiary grenades, so they could only use flares for illumination, and at the same time use machine guns and machine guns to fire.
"Sudden thud. Sudden protrusions. "The machine gun kept ringing. And many of the Qi people also hit and fell. But the people of Qi have finally learned a little now. It's just a careful climb forward. As you advance, keep probing the ground with your bayonet, and if there is a hard object, the bayonet will not be able to penetrate it. Therefore, in the place where the piercing can't be entered, there is often a big thing to find, and this thing is a mine.
"These damn Qin people, how many of these things have been buried, all of them." A Qi native cursed as he carefully dug up the soil around the mine with his hands. Press it and carefully find the tripwire.
After finding it, carefully hold it down with your hand, and then carefully cut it with a bayonet. Finally, the mines are dug up by hand.
"Bang." A loud explosion was heard. The mine still exploded. This is a mine-proof mine. The main thing about this mine is that there is a rope underneath him that connects to the ground. This connection is specially created to prevent the reuse of mines by infantry and causing secondary casualties to their own personnel. The design is simple, the principle is to make a second initiating device, and the cost is not very high. But the Qin army only purchased a small amount of equipment, because they thought of a very immoral decision, that is, when this kind of mine was planted, it was mixed with a large number of primary detonator mines, sometimes a lot, sometimes very little. Sometimes not. Always in a mined area, which is more or less buried underground. It's very troublesome for someone who is attacking and trying to attack. Because they always do what they had learned from the first time they were mined. Then came across an anti-detonation mine. Then he was blown up and killed.
The Qin army also heard about this kind of mine, or those mines that had not been cleared and triggered to shoot, but this was all they could do. The snipers of the Qi army temporarily lost their effectiveness, and the flares hit more and more, while the Qin army did not have any flares in the air. This makes use of the light, so that the opponent can't detect the target, because it can't shoot.
However, the Qin army still had losses, and a searchlight was shattered by the snipers of the Qi army and could not be used. Now the searchlights of the Qin army are no longer in use, and the light uses flares for illumination shooting.
"Are those damn things lined up?" asked the Qi general.
"Not yet, but our fastest man is already only a hundred paces away from the Qin army's position." A Qi soldier was asked by the general of the Qi army before he could say anything polite.
"Got it. Tell them to be quick. When there are still fifty paces left, you can attack. Rush over and melee with them. The general of the Qi army ordered loudly.
"Whoa." The soldier ran away. The Qi army had been delayed on the mine for a full three hours, and the time had slowly passed a little. And they haven't made even a little progress now, and if time passes by, then they will have to wait for this day slowly.
Night attack is one of the means that the Qi army must have and can only choose, and the range of their weapons and rifles is not as good as that of the Qin army, and it is greatly inferior to the Qin army in terms of rapid-fire weapons. The Qin army had several machine guns, while the Qi army was light infantry, and in order to advance quickly, they did not carry any heavy weapons, only rifles, pistols, and only submachine guns.
"What are the Qi people doing over there?" The Qin soldier asked.
"Dig mines. and other mines are dug up. We started fighting. A non-commissioned officer said. The officers were nervously staring at the direction of the Qi army's mines, and the constant sound of mines showed that the Qi army had begun to slowly enter the combat position, and they kept digging out mines to open a way for the people behind.
"Heighten vigilance. Watch out for anything that happens. "A lieutenant came over to look at the front line.
Time was spent waiting.
In the Xianyang Staff Headquarters of the Qin State, Wang Jian did not sleep, he was waiting for the first firefight, from the telegram sent, he understood that so far, there were no double shots and there was no big exchange of fire, the Qin army just used machine guns to keep strafing, trying to block the advance of the Qi army, and the Qi army was trying to remove the mines by all means, they needed a fast way forward. Only by approaching the Qin army can the maximum combat effectiveness be exerted.
In Wang Qian's view, the Qin army seems to be very bad at night battles, especially night defensive operations. Nighttime is inherently an attacker, and the attacker often uses infiltration to attack suddenly. If the vigilance is very poor, it is estimated that it will be easy to be defeated by the opponent.
"Thankfully we have mines, but how long can mines withstand them, and barbed wire. War is really getting more and more complicated. Wang Jian said to himself. Now what exactly is happening at the front, he himself does not know.
Just when Wang Jian was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of technological weapons, the Qi army on the front line finally dug a place not far from the Qin army. The Qi army tried to use the same camouflage color as the ground to camouflage, and then slowly approached, while they dug out the mines little by little, hoping that their actions would be able to dig up more mines.
"In front of us is the Qin army, and we can already see the location of the bunker used by the other party, and it seems to be barbed wire." A Qi soldier whispered.
"Yes." One of the people next to him nodded.
"Shall we attack?" The Qi soldier asked.
"Wait." The man next to Qi Jun said. Then they continued to dig mines.
"Shoot from the left. Shoot from the left. A second lieutenant of the Qin army used a periscope to look around, and at the same time, directed the machine gun to strafe, and the machine gun was reused from the air-cooled machine gun to the bulky water-cooled machine gun. The barrel of the air-cooled machine gun needs to be cooled before it can be used, and the rapid rate of fire causes the barrel to heat up quickly, so in order to effectively control the opponent's forward speed, they have to use the old and bulky water-cooled machine gun for shooting. They need to keep changing the water and keep shooting.
"Wait." The second lieutenant shouted.
"Suddenly." After the machine gun fired two rounds, it stopped firing.
"Damn, keep strafing at one o'clock." The lieutenant shouted loudly. Through the periscope and the light from the mailbox, the second lieutenant noticed that something was wrong, such as the grass that had just moved forward. This visual misalignment caused him to be somewhat suspicious, and in order to dispel his suspicions, he decided to shoot him. Test it.
"Bulging." The machine gun spews out tongues of fire that kill.
"Woohoo." Bullets whizzed by, killing the soldier just now.
"The people of the Qin State have discovered us. Come on. The officer was a little flustered at this time, he mistakenly thought that the Qin army had spotted them by shooting in this direction. Then they launched a surprise attack. At this time, the distance is already very close. There is only a distance of less than fifty paces, and this distance can rush in front of the opponent's position as long as you run quickly.
"Rush." More and more Qi soldiers began to charge with guns, thinking that they could charge in front of the Qin army's position with only a few steps away, and the two sides could start close combat and hand-to-hand combat at this time. The individual killing ability of Qi soldiers is generally high.
"Damn, the enemy rushed over. Rush over. Shoot shot. The lieutenant suddenly shouted loudly. At this time he saw from the periscope. Some figures began to pop up, yes, it was the Qi people, they used the black bottom of the pot to disguise themselves well, but they didn't expect it. Their own unintentional actions forced them to attack. In fact, the choice of the Qi people is not wrong, because if they continue to shoot, it is very likely that these lurking Qi people will be shot by them in large numbers, and the result is that the attack has not yet begun, and the loss of soldiers will be very large. This is something that the attackers try to avoid.
"Rush." The people of Qi rushed over shouting, their faces were painted with the bottom of the pot black, it is estimated that this is the earliest camouflage color, they are mainly disguised to get as close to the enemy as possible possible. Sudden attack. This method of applying the bottom of the pot black on the face was used by snipers when the two armies of Yan and Qi faced off, and the soil was used in the early days, but the soil was easy to dry, and the face was very uncomfortable after drying, and it was easy to fall off.
"Shoot, shoot. Fire, hurry. "The second lieutenant is in a hurry. Because the enemy is at hand.
"Bump bump bump. Sudden protrusion. Sudden protrusions. "The machine guns fired at high speed as fast as they could, and the mist of water came out quickly.
"Ahh The Qi soldiers who were charging forward were knocked to the ground by machine guns. But they still charged forward without fear of death.
"Rush. Kill. The rush shouted loudly. All the soldiers were infected by the spirit of charging to attack.
"Bang bang. Bang. The second lieutenant pulled out his revolver and shot out of the bunker.
And the Qi soldiers were caught by the barbed wire in front of them without taking two steps to charge, they didn't care about this at all, and some soldiers fell directly on the barbed wire after being knocked down. They pressed the barbed wire. Then a breakthrough appeared.
Other soldiers volunteered their bodies to press against the barbed wire, while those behind them stepped on corpses and the bodies of their companions and charged forward.
"Come on, people, we can't stand it anymore." The lieutenant shouted loudly.
The revolver in the hands of the second lieutenant was already out of bullets. The second lieutenant tried to reload the bullet, but another bullet case just couldn't get out.
"Damn it." The second lieutenant was in a hurry all of a sudden. Then just throw the pistol away. Pick up a rifle and shoot.
"Bang." The second lieutenant opened fire.
"Ahh A Qi soldier who was already very close was shot and killed. Then lie on your back with your whole body on your back.
"Kill." A Qi soldier rushed forward with a bayonet, and the second lieutenant used his rifle to smash the Qi soldier who jumped off with the butt of his rifle. Ensigns also learned infantry combat in military schools, but they learned to fight in a field environment with bayonets and butts, and in the trenches, they had not yet learned.
Due to the good protection of the machine gun bunkers, the machine guns were able to fire continuously, but there was another disadvantage, that is, their line of sight was greatly restricted, which was the biggest reason why other Qi troops were able to rush into the trenches.
"Damn." When the second lieutenant of the Qi army smashed through and tried to smash it again with the butt of the rifle in his hand, he suddenly found that his rifle was restrained by the narrow environment of the trench.
The butt of the rifle was usable, and the second lieutenant simply drew his bayonet and threw away the rifle. He needed to step forward and make up for the Qi soldier.
"Yikes." Another Qi soldier jumped in desperately. Then pounced on the second lieutenant. The second lieutenant was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"Die, Qin Dog." After the Qi soldiers fell, they used their fists to hit the second lieutenant on the head.
"Ahh The second lieutenant screamed, his eye was hit by a fist, and then his left cheek, and the second lieutenant felt his teeth loosen a little. That's a lot of strength.
"Damn." The second lieutenant, who was stimulated by the pain, immediately brandished the bayonet in his hand and stabbed the Qi soldier in the lower abdomen, but because of the position, the Qi soldier rode on the second lieutenant, and the bayonet stabbed obliquely, and the knife entered the chest of the Qi soldier.
"Oh." The Qi soldier snorted, and just like that, he was killed.
"Damn it." Since the bayonet was pierced from the chest. As a result, the bayonet was pinned in the ribs and could not be drawn out in time.
"Ahhh The Qi soldier who had been smashed stood up again and rushed towards the second lieutenant with a bayonet.
The second lieutenant looked around anxiously and saw a shovel digging a trench. This shovel is the kind that is designed to cut the handle, because the trench environment is too narrow for the long shovel to be deployed. In order to allow the shovel to be deployed in the trench environment, the Qin soldiers spontaneously sawed the shovel so that it could be used in the trench environment.
"Bang." There was a sound of metal clashing between metals. The second lieutenant used a shovel to block the onrushing bayonet. Qi Jun's body continued to charge forward due to inertia, and then his neck was exposed in front of the second lieutenant's eyes.
"Whew." The sound of a shovel waving in the air. The second lieutenant used the sharp point on the front of the shovel to slash at the soldier's neck.
A huge bloody hole was cut on the neck of the Qi soldier, and the blood came out "poof, poof". Blood sprayed the lieutenant's face all over his face.
"Damn, those corpses blocked the view of our machine guns. We need to get those bodies out of the way, we can't shoot. The bombardier shouted loudly when he noticed that some of the bullets from the machine gun had hit the dead bodies.
"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. Without. That's it. The machine gunner shouted loudly as he fired. Water-cooled machine guns have reached their limits. The steam turned into small droplets of water when exposed to the cold outside world, and the white mist made it impossible for the Heavy to see the target.
"The enemy rushed in." When the bombardier saw someone rushing at the back door of the machine-gun bunker, ready to pick up the rifle next to him and fight back.
"Bang. Bang. Bang. "The Qi army, which is good at close combat, is armed with a large number of Type 17 pistols. This pistol reloads faster than Qin Jun's revolver, and can be fired quickly and continuously.
"Bang bang." Two more in a row. The bullet was fired again. The bullet hit the two Qin soldiers directly in the vital position, and usually the combat soldiers would not choose to shoot the head. Instead, choose a larger chest and the heart is located.
"Ahh The two soldiers fell to the ground with a scream.
"Die." The Qi soldiers scolded loudly. In order to take this bunker, they killed a lot of people. In particular, some people died in front of the barbed wire fence in the bunker. At this time, the hatred of the soldiers of the Qi army for machine guns had reached the extreme, and they did not understand why the Qin people would create such an advanced weapon, and the bullets kept firing, chasing after themselves, this weapon was even more powerful than artillery. Ordinary people can't hide from it at all.
"Ahh A soldier's screams rang out, and a Qin soldier stabbed the other with a bayonet in his hand.
"Bang." A pistol rang out. A soldier of the Qin army was shot in the back.
"Bang bang." Two gunshots in a row. The bullet was fired again. The Qin soldiers were shot twice in the back at close range. Point 50 caliber bullets can kill people when fired at close range, and even if they are lucky enough to miss, they can completely lose their combat effectiveness, and those who are shot are often already seriously injured. There is no need to shoot twice. Apparently this is a novice shot. Qi craftsmen continue to produce their handmade brand 17 type 50 large-caliber pistols day and night, so in close combat, not only officers of the Qi army use this high-power pistol, even some non-commissioned officers are also equipped with this high-power pistol, but because there is no time to train, most of the pistols can only rely on the user little by little to figure out the use, and they do not know how to operate the actual operation.
The Qi soldiers who rushed into the trenches began to shoot frantically at the Qin soldiers. The close combat advantage of the Qi army came into play at this time. Their weapons were pistols as well as submachine guns. Dominates in close combat.
"Ahh Soldiers of the Qin army were constantly shot and fell. The Qin soldiers, on the other hand, were armed with long rifles, and they found that fighting in the trenches with rifles was a joke, and they often lost their best chance of shooting because the rifle could not turn around in time. Just as they adjusted the shooting angle, the pistol in Qi Jun's hand had already fired several rounds in a row.
"Ahh Yes. The soldiers of the Qin army were helplessly hit by pistol bullets, and they had nothing to do. Most of their weapons are rifles, and even pistols are no match for the opponent's pistols.
"Whew." The second lieutenant with a short-handled shovel suddenly opened the head of a Qi soldier. The soldier had just jumped into the trench, and before he knew what was going on, he felt a black thing slam at him.
"Hmm." A scream. The Qi soldiers were hit by something black in front of them, and then they didn't know anything. Only then did the second lieutenant realize that the shovel was far more practical than the bayonet, and it was difficult to pull out the bayonet in time after the bayonet had entered the body, while the shovel could be powerful. Cook quickly and cut off the enemy's head. Especially shooting, as long as the force is high and the angle is accurate, the enemy's head is often opened.
"Bang bang." Three gunshots rang out in a row. The Qi soldiers who stormed the trenches used the pistols in their hands to shoot at the second lieutenant continuously. The second lieutenant was shot twice and fell. He had just discovered the benefits of a shovel. Before he could spread it, he was shot and died. War is so cruel. Many novel discoveries were discovered, and they had to disappear because they were about to order the loss of life. But the war has given birth to many new inventions, such as the use of shovels, and under the stimulation of war, it is impossible that no one will find such a killing weapon.
"Bang." There was a loud bang. A Qin rifle shoots with a shotgun in his hand. The dense bullets quickly knocked down several Qi soldiers in the trenches.
The shotguns equipped by the Qin army are modified from shotguns, and the projectiles used are packed with steel balls of different sizes, such as 2.5, 3.0.3.5, etc., and the smaller the number, the more the projectile steel balls are loaded. This gun is a face-to-kill weapon, mainly used to provide close-range fire support during close-range charge combat, and now its power has exploded.
"Ahh The Qi soldiers who were shot were riddled with bullet holes, and the Qin army's use of such a weapon made them feel very frightened. They never thought that the Qin army would use such a strange weapon. In fact, there are shotguns, but the Qi army does not pay attention to them, they think that the bullets fired by this weapon are too scattered, and it is easy to accidentally injure their own people in close combat, so they quickly gave it up. Switch to a submachine gun with a faster rate of fire. This kind of gun is much easier to use than a shotgun and can form the effect of a machine gun in a short period of time, so the Qi army loves this weapon very much.
"Bang bang." Three crisp submachine gun shots in a row.
Three pistol bullets quickly hit the Qin army's rifleman, and the gunman fell to the ground, and he was shot. And the bullets hit him right in the chest and legs.
The shotguns used by the rifles are indeed powerful. It does have a good use effect in actual use, for example, it is easy to cause large-scale casualties to the opponent when shooting, and it is originally a face-shaped killing weapon. But the downside is that he needs a process of pulling back one after another, and this process is to return the discarded shells. Then reload the next bullet, and the shotgun used by the Qin State is a four-shot shotgun with a staggered row, and when used, it is necessary to manually pull out the bullet case. It is also this action that causes the shotgun to not be able to shoot continuously. In the midst of this shooting gap. It invisibly gives the opponent a good chance. That is to seize that opportunity and strike back immediately.
Submachine guns, on the contrary, showed themselves well in this regard. Submachine guns can form a scattering surface not only for extreme time. At the same time, it is possible to continuously carry out fire suppression. On the battlefield, especially after the use of gunpowder, fire suppression has always been an important consideration in tactical arrangements. If you suppress your opponent with a long firepower, you will be able to get better results to hit your opponent.
"Retreat, retreat." The soldiers of the Qin army knew that they were not opponents. Immediately retreating, they found that the weapons in their hands were claimed to be the most advanced in the eyes of experts, using various techniques, such as how far they could hit and how many people could be killed at once with a bullet with a pointed bullet. But the actual effect is that everything bullshit doesn't make sense, and they have to pay with their lives for it.
Weapons were used on the plains, especially in the vast grasslands, and the rifles were far more powerful than submachine guns, shotguns, and even these guns had no room to play, but now, the advantages of these guns suddenly became so fragile. The soldiers of the Qin army could only secretly scold their father and mother.
"Rush." The huge superiority of the Qi soldiers in weapons, especially in melee weapons, was quickly converted into an advantage in results, and they began to frantically pursue the fleeing Qin soldiers.
