Chapter 321: Battle of North America VII

Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Later, because the Scottish Highland infantry showed the spirit of fighting to the death on the battlefield, the British government was greatly admired, and they tried every means to spread this fighting spirit of the Scottish Highlands to the whole army, and even once replaced the Scottish bagpipe tune with the grenadier march!

It's just that the tune has changed, but the combat effectiveness of the Red Shirts has not changed at all......

Soon, the British government also faced the fact that the human spirit could not be transformed by a few tunes and a military uniform, and the difficult living environment of the Scottish Highlands was the reason for the production of this elite!

It stands to reason that during the First World War, the Scottish soldiers, whose living environment had greatly turned, were no longer their ancestors, and the glory of the Scottish Highland infantry was only a flash in the pan......

However, that's all for later, this era is the peak of the Scottish Highlands infantry, the poor mountains and bad water environment of the Scottish Highlands have not changed, and the soldiers produced in it are also above the top!

These Scottish Highland infantry, facing the iron hooves of the Han cavalry, fearlessly only listed a simple and thin queue to shoot the big horizontal team!

There is no hollow policy, and they don't even bother to arrange a thick column phalanx!

In order to maximize the killing efficiency of the enemy, the Scottish Highland infantry discharged a thin horizontal line with weak defense, but it could maximize its firepower!

When the high-morale Han Wheel Carbines, who had just routed the British cavalry, rushed up, these thin horizontal formations of the Scottish Highland infantry did not move, and, as if nothing happened, they raised their guns and aimed and fired according to the standards of the training ground!

The neat and steady sound of the guns began to reap the lives of the Han cavalry in the charge, however, the charging speed of the cavalry was not comparable to the walking speed of the infantry, they only survived two rounds of salvos from the Scottish Highland infantry, and they were close to the effective range of the revolver carbine!

When he landed, the six consecutive shots of muskets that had been used by the Han cavalry many times began!

The Scottish Highland infantry fell to the ground one by one like cutting wheat under the sudden burst of bullets from the other side, but the substitute soldiers in the back came up with expressionless faces and continued to shoot at the cavalry close at hand!

At a distance of more than 20 meters, the two sides carried out asymmetrical firepower, and the Scottish Highland infantry suffered nearly half of the casualties in just ten minutes!

That's thousands of lives!

The Han cavalry was all dispatched, and more than 10,000 war horses took turns to sweep in front of the line of the Scottish Highland infantry, and all the two revolver carbines in their hands were gone!

Even after suffering such heavy casualties in a short period of time, the Scottish Highland Infantry's front was still as solid as a rock, but it was difficult to fill the gap left by a large number of fallen soldiers!

Although the Han cavalry caused a lot of casualties to the other side, the revolver carbine is a hammer deal, and after they finish shooting, they are basically within the range of the Scottish Highland infantry, although the light cavalry is very flexible, it is not a simple matter to quickly turn and escape from the rifle range!

In the past, after the Han cavalry fired so many bullets, it was difficult for the infantry on the opposite side to continue to maintain intensive musket shooting even if they did not collapse, but these Scottish Highland infantry always gritted their teeth and insisted on firing!

After seeing the gap in the Scottish Highland infantry line, the commander of the Wheel Hussars decisively gave the order to charge in order to avoid excessive bloodshed of his own light cavalry!

At the same time, the hand-to-hand light cavalry that stayed behind also launched a charge in conjunction with the general!

The Scottish Highland infantry charged in the face of the superior cavalry troops, and they defended with bayonets in a thin horizontal formation, and the two sides soon collided fiercely!

If the Scottish Highland infantry line was still intact, it would naturally be difficult for the cavalry to break through the sword jungle like this, but in this line full of gaps, the difficulty of the cavalry charge was greatly reduced!

However, the expected collapse of the enemy infantry of the Han cavalry did not appear, and these 'skirt infantry' with a very different style of military uniforms from the Red Shirt Army, dressed like a girl, but they fought more than the masters!

The checkered skirt is a bit like the skirt under the sailor suit worn by Japanese middle school girls in later generations, the skirt did not cover the knees, and the stockings that the Scottish Highland infantry also wore......

is such a group of 'girl army' dressed like the young and beautiful girls of later generations, but they successfully dragged the charge of the Han cavalry into hand-to-hand combat!

Moreover, in the Scottish Highland infantry formation, a more girly Scottish bagpipe song soon sounded......

As soon as the song sounded, the Scottish Highland infantry seemed to be stimulated, shouting out of tune Scottish folk songs, holding bayonets, and launching a counter-charge against the Han cavalry who had no charging speed with blood-red eyes!

That's right, this is a rare counter-charge of infantry against cavalry in history!

Subsequently, the head-on and the oncoming reserve Han hand-to-hand cavalry collided together!

Although there are countless Scottish Highland infantry who have been knocked and chopped down, he just doesn't break down!

On the contrary, the scottish tune is louder and louder!

These Scottish Highland infantry, dressed like, seem to be playing passionately?

It's just that the Scottish Highland infantry is on fire, but the Han cavalry has ushered in the end!

Under the sound of Scottish bagpipes, the Scottish Highland infantry burst out with unscientific morale, completely reversing the superiority of the Han cavalry, and they killed an advantageous casualty ratio in hand-to-hand combat with a small number of troops!

Zhao Dutian, who was watching the battle in the rear, showed a shocked look for the first time, it was the first time he saw the crippled infantry line that was impacted by the superior cavalry forces, and burst out with such a strong combat morale!

The British commander watched the heroic posture of the Scottish Highland infantry from the rear with both distress and relief, these soldiers were worthy of the elite of the European battlefield, and there was no sign of retreating under such heavy casualties!

In order to break through the interception of the Scottish Highland infantry, the Han cavalry has all rushed out, but even the Scottish Highland infantry is surrounded and beaten by the Han cavalry from all sides, and they are holding on!

In this battle, once again lost the opportunity for a quick ending, the meat grinder in the central battlefield was still expanding, a steady stream of reserve troops was put into this meat grinder, and the artillery troops were even more happy to pour expensive grenades!
