Han Duotian alone contained the fire of at least twenty or thirty enemies in the ditch, which relieved the pressure on the second row in the dwarf forest a lot, and at the same time, after the initial panic, many soldiers have successively found low-lying areas or tree trunks as cover, although the bandits' bullets are still coming one after another, but they have thinned a lot, after all, there are no people on the other side, so naturally they will not shoot indiscriminately and waste bullets.

After stabilizing the situation a little, Xi Hezhi, the second platoon commander wearing a gray officer's combat uniform, red epaulettes, and a black line on his cuffs, leaned his back against a small mound: "Send a few wounded brothers to the battalion headquarters!" ”

The attack just now killed a soldier in his second platoon, and four others were injured, one of whom only wiped the skin on his arm, so he bandaged it and continued to fight, but the other three were seriously injured, two of them were shot in the abdomen and chest, and the other was shot in the thigh.

If this kind of injury is not a big problem in the 21st century, stopping the bleeding and having surgery to take out the bullet, it will not be a big problem, but now it is not the 21st century, but in 1903, this kind of injury is already an absolutely serious injury, even if the military doctor at the back can do surgery to take out their bullets, but whether they can survive depends on whether God gives face.

This just lost his troops on the field, which made Xi Hezhi very annoyed, and now he doesn't know how many people were killed and injured in his second row, and if he knew, he probably wouldn't give him a good look.

Then he took out his binoculars and looked at the bandits on the low wall hundreds of meters away, his eyes were already on fire!

However, he did not lose his mind, and did not give the order to launch a strong attack directly, but gathered the soldiers to find cover first, and then launched a counterattack, and fought at a distance with those bandits!

This is actually more beneficial for them, first of all, the second row is hiding in the low woods, although there are no good fortifications and bunkers, but lying on their stomachs to use the low-lying terrain can effectively dodge bullets. At the same time, the low forest also gives them visual cover, unless it is as big as the movement at the beginning, it is difficult for the enemy hundreds of meters to find their lying body.

As long as you don't stand up and rush forward stupidly, you don't have to worry about getting hit

As for the bandits on the other side, although they have a low wall as cover, they are located in an open area, and the line of sight for the second row is extremely good, and the only thing that needs to be tested is their marksmanship.

In this kind of long-range large-scale shooting, maybe the soldiers in the second platoon are not as good as individual bandits in overall marksmanship, but on average they are definitely far superior to those bandits, why? Because in the whole of China, except for the Beiyang New Army, there is no army that can conduct live-fire training all year round.

Perhaps the level of live-ammunition training of the soldiers of the Beiyang New Army is not as perverted as that of the armies of the great powers, and even less than the training intensity of the soldiers of the Japanese army, but it can be regarded as barely stepping into the ranks of the regular army.

The marksmanship of the bandits on the opposite side is uneven, and a few of them are particularly accurate, but most of the bandits can't shoot a few bullets all year round, after all, bullets cost money. Moreover, for bandits, the source of ordnance is very limited, and this will not be the period of war in the Republic of China, it is difficult for ordinary bandits to directly buy large quantities of ordnance, and they can only buy three or two at a time, dozens of rounds of bullets, and the price is far more than the price of the arms market.

It is also a Japanese-Japanese 30-year-old rifle, and the price of the Beiyang Army's large-scale import from Japan is about 278 taels of silver, but if it is smuggled and purchased by private armed forces, the price is at least doubled, and 50 taels is less.

Compared with the regular army, the scarce source of ordnance, almost double the price, led to those private forces, including bandits, the cost of training is much higher than that of the regular army.

Therefore, on the whole, although the marksmanship of the soldiers in the second row under Xi Hezhi is not as good as that of individual bandits, the average level is definitely more than that of the more than 100 bandits.

At the same time, the rifle gap between the two sides is also relatively large, there are only more than 20 new rifles on the opposite side, and the rest are old single-loading rifles, in the process of firing this pair, although the number of people in the second row is small, but the density of firepower is not inferior to the opposite side, or even slightly exceeded.

Such a burst of counterfire came down, so that Xi Hezhi's second row took a big advantage, and the dense firepower hit the counterpart, and the bandits on the opposite side fell one after another.

Limited by the density of contemporary firepower and the protection of bunkers, the bandits on the opposite side naturally do not fall down in pieces like in movies and television, but they will fall down every once in a while, which accumulates a considerable casualty rate.

One after another, the bandits were hit, and since they were all lying on low walls, most of the people who were hit were shot in the head, so the mortality rate was not 100 percent, but 90 percent was certain.

Although those bandits are not afraid of death, they have not undergone strict training in the end, so they may be good at fighting alone, but in this kind of large-scale shooting, they simply can't withstand the huge psychological pressure, especially when they see the bandits around them fall one after another, even the bandits who are not afraid of death can't help but feel cold in their hearts.

What's more, their own side continues to suffer casualties, and those officers and soldiers on the opposite side, except for many people who were killed and wounded by themselves at the beginning, have been hiding in the woods and ditches since then, and it is difficult to find them.

After suffering casualties one after another, the bandits on the opposite side began to retract their heads from the wall, no longer shooting all the time as before, and when there was such a gap in fire, the pressure on the second platoon was greatly reduced.

Xi Hezhi's heart that had been carrying it was also relaxed, and taking advantage of the weakness of the firepower on the opposite side, he once again said with the saber in his hand in the gray mist: "First Peng is ready to leap forward quickly, rush to the side of the ditch, and the others will listen to the command to suppress the fire!" ”

Since the enemy was temporarily suppressed by his own firepower, then he naturally would not be stupid and continue to lie in the woods, this ghost place is not a good position, especially his first peng, because the location is in the outer area of the low woods, it can be said that he can't raise his head by those bandits, and if he continues to stay, there will be casualties sooner or later.

The first peng is the shed where Han Duotian is, from the beginning, he rushed to the front, and he was killed but they were also them, a shed of fourteen people, one was killed, and three people including Zhengmu were seriously injured, and then except for Han Duotian, who was fighting alone in the far front, then there would be nine people who were ready to launch a rapid leap.

At the same time, the other two canopy soldiers in the second platoon will provide them with fire cover.

With Xi Hezhi's military order passed down, the soldiers of the second and third Peng no longer pursued high precision, but pursued the ultimate rate of fire, striving to create a dense firepower network in a short time to suppress those bandits on the low wall opposite.

With the continuous firing of the Fuzao Type 88 rifle in the hands of the soldiers, the firepower of the second row was once again intensive, and this kind of fire suppression shooting in pursuit of the ultimate rate of fire in a short period of time continuously lifted smoke and dust after the bullet hit the low wall opposite the guide.

If the bandits on the opposite side have an officer who knows how to modernize operations, then he will definitely know that the opposite side is suppressing and covering the attacking troops, and then the corresponding deployment will definitely be made to intercept, but it is a pity that there are very few officers who were born in the Chinese Likoban and know how to modernize operations in these years, and 90% of them are in the Beiyang Army, and most of the remaining ones are scattered in the new armies of the provinces.

So after suffering a burst of intense fire, and two more bandits were hit in a burst of random guns, those bandits all retracted their heads one by one, and dodged the random guns first.

And at this time, the soldiers of the First Peng swung forward with Xi Hezhi's saber, and they all got up quickly, and then rushed forward with their lives, and no one dared to slow down at this time, because slowing down was equivalent to death.

The short distance of more than ten meters does not seem to be far in normal times, but for these first-class soldiers who launched the charge today, it is extremely far away.

At this time, the bandits on the opposite side naturally also saw the first Peng soldiers who got up and ran forward quickly, although most of the bandits were suppressed off the wall before, but there were still many people lying on the wall and continuing to shoot back, and for a while, the first Peng soldiers were flying bullets in front of and behind them.

Fortunately, there were not many bandits who stayed on the wall to keep fighting back, and by the time the other bandits realized that something was wrong and climbed back to the wall, the soldiers of the First Peng on the opposite side had already rushed over the gap between the low forest and the ditch, and jumped down the ditch.

The first Peng soldiers who jumped into the ditch didn't have time to catch their breath, but they saw a man with blood on his hands and a strip of cloth on his head, which was already stained with blood.

At this time, this person was lying on the ditch and shooting at the bandits in the north, and soon the person retracted his body, and after a closer look, he found that it was Han Duotian.

"Brother Han, have you been shot in the head?" When a short, black man trotted over!

"Fuck you, sunspots, you're just having a gun in your head!" Han Duotian reloaded his Fuzao Type 88 rifle with bullets, and said in his mouth: "I was unlucky just now, my ear was pierced!" ”

The soldier named Kuroko was the same as Han Duotian, regardless of the remaining mud in the ditch, he sat down directly and looked at the cloth strip bandaged on Han Duotian, and then said: "You did it yourself, you didn't keep it, come, brother, I'll re-bandage it for you!" ”

Han Duotian nodded, he was the only one in the ditch just now, so he could only bandage it by himself, which made Kuroko re-bandage, he glanced at those comrades in the ditch, and then wondered: "Li Tou didn't come with you?" ”
