"It's really brave enough, I haven't seen such a fierce army since I came to this era."

On the hillside, Xiao Lang held a telescope and let out a sigh of emotion. Of course, his purpose was not to sing praises to the Manchurians, so after praising this, Xiao Lang took out a bullet painted red from the bullet box—the mark of a hard armor-piercing bullet—it was loaded into a rifle, and aimed at a particularly tall and strong looking guy in the opposing camp—who was wrapped in a thick layer of armor all over his body, including his face. He also held a large shield in his hand to cover his body. I don't know if the iron wrapped in the shield is particularly heavy or it is simply made of metal, Xiao Lang saw several bullets hit the shield with his own eyes, some were embedded in it and some were pierced, but they couldn't make this big man fall, he was still moving forward!

So Xiao Lang decided to take matters into his own hands, and his main position was only about fifty or sixty meters away from the front line. And it is located on a high slope and is convenient for supporting various places. At the same time, as the leader of the mechanical group, he will still use his power for personal gain in some aspects - for example, the batch of armor-piercing bullets he carries is different from the self-cast warheads issued by ordinary soldiers, but uses the leftovers left over from the use of the batch of modern steel bars on the Qionghai, and the elongated steel core bullets are processed after cutting by the machine!

"Let's see how much stronger you are than the Boxers......"

Raise your gun, aim ...... Xiao Lang is very confident in his marksmanship, and he also served as a school gunner when he was the head of the mechanical team. However, at this point he decided to be safe, so he aimed at the opponent's body, covering the part with his shield - he was just as confident in the armor-piercing bullets he had made himself.

There was a "bang" sound, and a puff of white smoke erupted from the chamber of the gun, and when Xiao Lang used his hand to fan away the smoke that blocked his vision, he saw the big man stumbling and stumbling forward a few steps, as if he was trying hard to support, but no matter how tenacious he was mentally, he couldn't match the weakness of his body after all. The deformation and tumbling of a steel-core armor-piercing bullet after passing through the shield and several layers of armor will undoubtedly cause more damage to the human body. So no matter how the big man looked up to the sky and broke out an unwilling roar, he still fell down softly after all.

Seeing that even the big man was defeated, the surrounding Jin troops all let out a frightened cry - Xiao Lang could not understand the Manchu language, but he could also guess that this man should be a very famous warrior in their army. And with the fall of this big man, the forward force of the Houjin Army, which had been barely maintaining order before, finally reached its limit. After a burst of shouting, the line, which had been messy but had barely lined up the array line, scattered like a swarm of bees that had blown up the nest, and a small part of them began to flee to the rear and to the left and right, while most of the rest, I don't know if they were particularly brave or dizzy, and couldn't figure out their direction. Or maybe it's both - rushing towards the line of fire of the Joan Navy at a faster speed!

On the command positions of the Houjin Army. The experienced generals all let out a sigh - the charge was too early! Combat is the most physically draining. When you are so far away, you start running with all your might, and do you still have the strength to cut people when you rush to the other side? Of course, they can fully understand the helplessness and pain of those front-line soldiers. In their own place, their companions suddenly fell one by one without warning, including themselves, and they could fall at any time. But it is already a remarkable feat to be able to persist in walking two miles in an environment where you can't fight back and can only be beaten passively. It is not easy to suppress the speed before it explodes at this time.

So they can only pray for a miracle for now - for example, the strange greenskins are only good at ranged and cannot fight in close combat, and like the Ming army, they are completely wasted once they are approached. In addition, judging from the casualty ratio, the forward army had not lost more than half of the losses after walking such a long distance before, and at least a quarter of the remaining distance should have been able to rush into the opponent's position. And although the opponent's short-haired firearms are sharp, the number is too small after all. However, the scale of hundreds of people had previously sent a full four Niu Lu to fight with twice or even three times the thunderous momentum, and they thought that they would be able to sweep them away with a light yì. Although the casualties are heavy now, as long as there are two or three hundred people who can rush to the front of the other side. I believe that with the fierce and good fighting of the Dajin warriors, those green skins who don't even approve light armor will inevitably collapse at the touch of a button!

-- Now we can only hope for this, and the Houjin generals who watched the battle in the rear and followed the second wave of the army forward on the road to death all whispered in their hearts. And their prayers seemed to have had an effect - when the first batch of Houjin troops launched a decisive charge in a desperate manner, there was a strange silence on the front of the Qiong navy, and the gunfire that had been intermittent just now suddenly stopped, and only clusters of white smoke drifted quietly on the position, as if at this moment, all the short-haired firearms had failed.

Did a miracle really happen?! Those Houjin generals, including the warriors who were charging, were all ecstatic, they didn't know the reason, they only knew that the other party's terrifying firecrackers were suddenly all dumb, as long as the damn "bang" sound was delayed for a while, they could rush closer, as long as they rushed closer, those firecrackers would never ring.

…………

Did a miracle really happen? - Of course not, at this moment, on the two defensive positions of the Qiong Navy, two experienced rangefinders are staring at the footsteps of those Houjin troops with binoculars, and at the same time constantly reporting the battle situation:

"The target is close to the 200-meter dead line......"

The company commander next to him gave instructions loudly according to the telemeter's report:

"All of them, one last inspection of the weapon...... Get ready for rapid fire! ”

-- The combat method of the Joan Navy is to form a combat group of three to five fighters. Although the equipment of the soldiers is basically the same, the actual establishment is still based on the strengths of each person, combat experience and other factors. For example, in a group, there is usually a sharp-eyed shooter who is good at shooting. In addition, as long as conditions permit, a tall and strong bombardier will be arranged as much as possible, so that it will not suffer too much in carrying loads, building fortifications, and hand-to-hand combat. Add to that a well-balanced all-rounder who can perform a variety of tasks - these three men form a minimal tactical unit, two of whom must be veterans who can take the lead. And with the support of at least two backbone forces, even if some additional recruits are added after the expansion, it will not affect the combat effectiveness much.

And the archery requirements for soldiers in peacetime are also based on the line of 200 meters. The one who can hit the target from a distance of two hundred meters is, of course, a good shooter. The best of them were grouped together for special training as snipers, while the rest were dispersed into various groups to serve as the main marksman. For most ordinary soldiers, the rate of hit and rate of fire within 200 meters are only required, and the most powerful Qionghai rifle is within this range - at least that's what the designers intended.

Therefore, when the previous Houjin troops were bravely moving forward, the "dense" bullet rain they felt was actually only from the main shooters in the various combat groups. Joan's naval code of conduct adopted a "free hunt" mode for targets up to 200 meters away, with only those who were sure of hitting the target allowed to shoot, and only one or two people were allowed to shoot at a time in a combat group, while the others were only responsible for vigilance and observation, and ensuring that at least one gun was always loaded with ammunition.

And once the target enters the 200-meter line, the combat mode changes - the "rapid fire" mode is the basic training that all Jan naval soldiers have received and are required to meet the standard. At this distance, all soldiers had to keep firing as fast as they and their weapons could on the premise of maintaining a certain hit rate, and try to eliminate the enemy from a distance of thirty meters. If you are swept into the 30-meter line, you will enter the final and most brutal "stabbing" mode - opening with a grenade and ending with a bayonet. Either the enemy is completely destroyed, or it is finished on its own.

However, although the Qiong Navy spends a lot of energy on melee combat items such as bomb throwing and stabbing in daily training, there are very few people who can really fight this kind of Cheng dù in actual combat. Thanks to the help of artillery, few enemies have been able to get close to them in the few major battles to date. Of course, at the moment they did not have artillery support, and this Houjin army also showed extraordinary bravery, but Xiao Lang did not think that the opponent's thousands of men could approach to the point where they needed to throw grenades - after entering the two hundred meters, the intensity of the firepower in the rapid fire stage would definitely open the eyes of this group of Manchurian Tatars.

"Two hundred and twenty meters...... Two hundred and ten......"

The rangefinder was still hoarsely announcing the numbers, and the soldiers were hurrying to cool the barrels of the guns they had just shot with strips of damp cloth dipped in water; Or quickly clean the chamber of the gun; Check again if the bullet is good; And adjust the cartridge box to the most convenient place for easy access when firing in quick succession......

"Raise your gun!"

Under the high-pitched commands of the squad and platoon commanders, more than 400 rifles were raised in unison, the barrels of the black holes were aimed at the selected targets, and the Houjin soldiers who shouted and shouted wildly and ran forward with their blades or shields held high were put into the crosshairs one by one, and at this moment they even seemed to slow down.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the inconspicuous markers at the feet of the Houjin army, formed by intermittent broken stones or dead branches, which no one would have noticed if they had not looked closely - but it was a marked line that had been specially arranged before, and it represented a line two hundred meters from the defensive position.

-- that is, the so-called "dead line" in the jargon of the Joan Navy.

"The target is in a dead line...... Prepare ......"

"Fire!" ――
