Chapter 481: Changing Formations at the Enemy's Approach

readx;?♂,

Since the previous three columns had been loaded, the three rounds of rapid fire proceeded very quickly, and almost in an instant, more than 100 lead pellets roared towards the North Korean military formation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Zhao Hai did not see all the details of the formation of the three battalions, such as the interval in the horizontal column is smaller than that during the training - the regulations of the drill code are 50 centimeters between the two soldiers, but here it is 20 centimeters less, which means that the veterans of the three battalions are almost shooting shoulder to shoulder!

Such a narrow distance can easily cause mutual interference, but fortunately, the veterans of the third battalion have practiced many times in Dengzhou, so they dare to do this -- the monkey is a very good person, although he does not understand what the density of firepower is, but from the actual combat he has discovered the law that the greater the density of firepower, the better the killing effect of the front.

Another detail that also violates the rules of the code of conduct is that the monkey chooses the timing of the salvo a few seconds earlier - don't underestimate these seconds, under the premise of the enemy running at high speed, a few seconds can mean a distance of more than ten or twenty meters!

The rules of the drill code are that when the enemy's front is about 100 paces away, that is, about 150 meters, the infantry can fire the first salvo, which is based on the premise that the opponent is wearing cotton armor; But through the clairvoyant mirror, the monkey keenly noticed that most of these North Koreans were not wearing armor - the other party may have relied on the strength of the crowd, or it may have been too late in a hurry, and most of them were still wearing thin uniforms anyway; The newly issued Ushijima 1 flintlock musket monkey has already studied it thoroughly, and it is not good to wear cotton armor at a distance of 200 meters, but it is more than enough to enter the meat, so he decisively changed to the "rapid fire" signal flag when the opponent just entered 200 meters.

I have to admire the monkey's keen observation and determination without dragging the mud and water, and the effect of three long-range salvos is excellent; The people on the other side's front of nearly 50 meters were almost swept away, forming a deep flesh alley; And by the time the three salvos were completed, the screaming North Koreans had not even crossed the 150-meter firing line!

The second wave of three salvos took a little longer, but the effect was not inferior to the first—the harvest of buckshot and the obstruction of corpses on the ground made the 50-meter frontage barely advance, and the ground the size of a horizontal basketball court was full of strangely shaped corpses and wailing wounded soldiers.

What is even more gratifying is that the sudden and violent blow caused the morale of the North Koreans who followed up to plummet, and many people involuntarily slowed down their pace after seeing the tragic situation on the ground, and some even stopped suspiciously, looking around as if they were looking for a way to escape -- this was a common problem of all armies in the feudal era, once there were casualties, it would deal a blow to morale, and as the casualties intensified, morale would also drop sharply, eventually leading to a complete collapse; The casualty rate that leads to the collapse has become an important criterion for judging whether an army is strong or not, and those who can endure 5 percent of the casualties without breaking up are already strong armies, and those who can endure 10 to 15 percent of the casualties or even higher like the Tartars and still persist in fighting have become invincible existences that everyone in the world fears.

This North Korean army was obviously not a strong army, so even the loss of more than 100 men had caused its morale to quickly fall to the brink of collapse; However, due to the wide extension of the large array of thousands of people, coupled with the smoke and dust obscuring the view, the effect of this 50-meter width is limited to the ranks behind it, and the two wings are almost unhindered, still screaming and rushing forward, rushing to the front, is almost close to the 70-meter "cordon" - the 70-meter "cordon" is also a code of conduct, if you are facing foot soldiers at this distance, it means that the soldiers have only one last chance to shoot, and should be ready to throw grenades; And if you are facing cavalry, you must immediately light the grenade and throw it forward; Because for a galloping horse, the distance of 70 meters is not even 10 seconds, even if it is a foot charge, it is 20 seconds.

Although the number of Koreans on the two wings is not large, it is still a behemoth for the third battalion with only more than 100 people, once the other side breaks through to the front or even outflanks the rear, the advantage of the three battalions in firearms will be gone, hand-to-hand combat has never been the strength of the Fuliao army, and now the disparity between the numbers is so great that they can retreat with their whole body!

Before the start of the second wave of three rounds of shooting, Zhao Hai, who was galloping towards the battlefield, was condescending, naturally heard the dense gunfire like a torrential rain, and also saw clearly the tactical movements of the soldiers of the third battalion, but all this made this veteran of the battlefield even more anxious - after all, the number of people in the third battalion was only so small, judging from Zhao Hai's previous experience, no matter how fierce the fight was, it could only delay the time for the destruction of the third battalion!

At this time, the situation on the opposite side had been obscured by thick gunsmoke, so that Zhao Hai could not see the movement of the North Koreans in front of him, and all he could see was the two wings that were rapidly approaching; This made the captain of the reconnaissance group involuntarily twist his waist, slightly adjust the direction of the war horse under his crotch, and point to the right side of the third battalion.

He had already calculated that when he arrived on the battlefield, it was the moment when the left flank of the Koreans was about to break through into the formation of the three battalions; His intention was to break through from the right side of the 3rd Battalion, delay the Koreans for a moment, and then turn to the front, and then turn to the small high ground after breaking away from the Koreans on the left.

This is also the standard maneuver action of the cavalry, but it is usually used on the outer edge of the enemy's large array, which plays the role of harassment and squeezing; And striking through the enemy's front is something Zhao Hai has never experienced. However, Zhao Hai is confident about this - his decades of hard work are not in vain, with the horse lance in hand, not to mention the hundreds of people on the front, even if it is several times more, he will not be able to keep him; And his appearance can not only cheer up the soldiers of the third battalion, but also make it easier to rush to the small high ground and drag the monkey out - as for the more than 100 brothers of the third battalion, they can only sacrifice for the retreat of the advance team.

said that it was too late, and seeing that Zhao Hai was about to gallop over, the horizontal formation that had just finished shooting in the three battalions suddenly retreated to the right rear; The formation was also adjusted in an orderly manner during the gallop, and by the time it reached a distance of forty or fifty meters to the right of the main formation, it had already changed into a smaller but more sparse three-column horizontal formation.

This change of formation caught Zhao Hai off guard, Rao is he was able to control the horse's kung fu, and eagerly slammed the reins but also made the crotch of the war horse stand up, and the law chief hissed a few times before he stabilized, and did not step on his own head.

Strain is strain, but Zhao Hai's gaze has never left the third battalion, but he saw that on the right side, the entire three battalions are rapidly changing formations - after the second horizontal column finished firing, it also quickly retreated to the left side of the main formation to form another three-column horizontal formation, and the last horizontal column left in the main formation also changed formation on the spot after putting the guns in place.

In just ten seconds, the three battalions transformed from a tight formation with a front of only 50 meters into three small formations, and its front expanded to more than 200 meters!

The movements of the veterans of the third battalion were extremely familiar and flowing, and Zhao Hai secretly praised it in his heart - changing formations in the face of the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, and if one is not careful, it will become a pot of porridge, but here in the third battalion, it seems to be a piece of cake!

Zhao Hai patronized it, but he didn't care about controlling the horse, the horse was sideways, only to hear the sound of "clang", he looked down, and couldn't help but turn white with fright.

Worst! Trouble! (To be continued.) )
