When the Aztec fighters began to enter a distance of about eight hundred meters from the line, the company commander of the Boghall riflemen shouted: "Prepare to fire!"

In the roar of the captain of the Boghall riflemen company, all the Boghall riflemen held their Mauser 98K rifles flat, and after quickly aiming at a target, they directly pulled the trigger when they heard the word fire.

With a burst of fire, the first row of Aztec warriors at the front either fell silently with their hands on their chests, or screamed and covered their own bullet wounds and struggled to continue to rush forward, while the other Aztec warriors seemed to ignore this and continued to run forward as fast as possible.

But this was just the beginning: Pulling the bolt out of the cartridge and changing the magazine, the Boghall riflemen fired a Mauser almost every three seconds, spent five seconds expertly changing the magazine after firing five rounds in the magazine, and then continued the cycle.

Zhu Henghong looked over through the three rows of Boghall pikemen, and when he saw that the Boghall riflemen in front of him were constantly tilting a large number of bullets towards the Aztec soldiers rushing over to him and others, he felt a heartfelt tremor in his heart.

As for the two-row dense formation laid out by his life-saving benefactor's sister Jean Boghall riflemen, Zhu Henghong, as a former pseudo-military fan, knew very well that this was a common line tactic during the Gentlemen's War, that is, the Chinese people commonly known as the line shooting formation: the infantry armed with flintlock pistols were lined up in a wide and shallow line for salvo fire, and a line often had two to four rows of soldiers. Because at close range, the shooting accuracy of the flintlock pistol can be relatively improved, and the flintlock pistol at that time due to its own structure caused its slow reloading speed, a skilled elite soldier holding a flintlock pistol can fire twice a minute is considered fast, so only a large number of soldiers in a dense formation to shoot can maximize the casualties of the enemy. The line tactics are formations that appear for the purpose of exerting the heaviest firepower.

Here's how it works: the power of line tactics is to always keep the enemy in the first shot to give the enemy the maximum firepower, so that the opponent has no time to replenish the fallen people in the front row while the people in the rear have already come up to shoot the second round, and the opponent either returns fire (there are definitely fewer people in the first row than the opponent, because there is no time to replenish the fallen people), or can only continue to replenish the people, so the enemy falls into this unsolvable cycle of disgusting dead people. In other words, there are always fewer people in the front line of the enemy who shoot than their own; in terms of opposing cavalry, the infantry with flintlock pistols with bayonets will line up in a hollow phalanx in the shape of "Hui", and the cavalry will be attacked by dense and continuous long-range blows when they rush over, and they will be stabbed by rows of bayonets when they get close, and even if they rush into the formation, they will be surrounded and killed by the infantry in the inner circle, so it can be said that the cavalry is more unlucky.

In addition to providing concentration and precision of firepower, line infantry can provide cover and support for their stragglers and cavalry, acting as the backbone of the force: when surrounded by enemy cavalry, line infantry can quickly transform into a hollow phalanx. The middle of this phalanx is empty. Unlike the old phalanx of pikemen and arquebusiers in the Spanish phalanx, the flintlock pistols of the line infantry were equipped with bayonets, which were detachable and used at the muzzle for use in close combat, and could also be used as a short sword, which was also very helpful against cavalry; In addition to constantly practicing shooting, the Boghall riflemen also had to spend a lot of time practicing this formation. Drills and corporal punishment have become their daily routine, and even Zhu Henghong, who is the company leader, and another Germanic company captain have been pulled out for making mistakes and punished for running laps and other additional physical training.

Line tactics require a high level of courage and morale for soldiers, and until modern times, except for a small number of professional troops and elite troops, the rest of the massive conscripts did not have such high morale. It is difficult to find suitable candidates; secondly, the training method, the line tactics are also the origin of the queue in the training of modern armies, the purpose is to ensure the neatness of the phalanx, the first row must be in a straight line in order to maximize the efficiency of the musket; and finally the weapon factor, the shooting of the weapon must not affect the aiming. Otherwise, the transmission frequency will be affected.

These are all the knowledge of line tactics during the Gentleman's War in Zhu Henghong's memory, but after seeing the actual combat of the two-row line tactics formed by the Boghall riflemen, he realized that he could not use conventional concepts to measure the line tactics that had been magically modified by the Teutons:

The reason is that the Boghall riflemen are holding Mauser 98K rifles instead of flintlock pistols, and the rate of fire of semi-automatic rifles is not comparable to the flintlock pistols that have to be loaded for a long time after one shot, and these Boghall riflemen only had a certain psychological pressure in the face of a large number of Aztec fighters at first, and they were a little busy in the process of firing for a while, and they quickly became familiar with it.

Zhu Henghong roughly estimated that the firing rate of these Boghall riflemen actually reached a rate of fifteen rounds per minute, and if it weren't for the fact that they still had to take the time to take out the magazines from the bullet pockets on their respective belts after firing the five Mauser bullets in the magazine, he estimated that it was likely that these colleagues could reach the level of pouring twenty rounds per minute! Even now, the firing frequency is seven or eight times that of the flintlock muskeers, and it can basically be said that it is like splashing water on the heads of the Aztec warriors.

The firing frequency of the Mauser rifle, coupled with Zhu Henghong's ability to vaguely see the Aztec warriors rushing towards him and the others as slow as walking in a mud nest, no matter how stupid he was, he could guess what his life-saving sister was doing when she cast the spell before: using magic to covertly modify the terrain to slow down the enemy's movement, forcing the enemy's speed to slow down, and then using the Boghall riflemen with Mauser rifles to pour firepower, it can be said that unless these Aztec soldiers can run over this kilometer and rush over, they can only honestly endure the ravages of their own firepower; and Zhu Henghong is also familiar with the company leader of the Boghall riflemen, naturally, it is known that these Boghall riflemen each received ten magazines this time. If these one hundred and fifty-two Boghall riflemen can shoot out all the ammunition, it will be 7,600 rounds, even if the hit rate is low, in the face of such a dense group charge of the Aztec soldiers, Zhu Henghong estimated that when they really rushed in front of them, they would at least lie down more than half.

In this regard, Zhu Henghong is very slanderous about his life-saving benefactor: this tactic can be said to be obscene to the home, but he likes it very much. After all, he knew very well that if he really had 10,000 fierce and brave Aztec soldiers at the current point, it would not be long before he would be overwhelmed by the absolute number; however, Zhu Henghong was very strange why his savior had equipped his troops with Mauser rifles but not with the nickname "Ripper", and at the same time, it was also the MG42 general-purpose machine gun of the ancestor of the modern US military M60 machine gun? As long as there are dozens of them and plenty of ammunition, they can be sure that all these Aztec warriors will be suddenly cleaned in a short time, and there is no need to wait for the Boghall riflemen to run out of ammunition or the enemy to retreat into their own hollow phalanx with super long guns, and they and others will have to face the siege of the remaining Aztec warriors, who are still numerous.

Zhu Henghong, who did not know the situation of the weapons factory in the Teutonic camp, obviously took it for granted, could Feng Longde not consider whether to equip the Boghall troops with the MG42, a prestigious general-purpose machine gun that is still very popular in the international market even if the modern model is changed to MG3? However, there are four problems now: first, the equipment in the weapons factory is not completely in place, and according to the drawings and the scale of production that may appear in the future, it will have to be expanded; second, the ammunition consumption of this general-purpose machine gun is too high, and the logistics are not easy and high production is needed. At present, the weapons factory can only provide a sufficient and stable source of ammunition for the Mauser 98k rifle; third, the requirements for the shooting technology of the machine gunner are relatively high, because the MG42 has a fast rate of fire (an average of 1,200 rounds per minute) and a large amount of bullet consumption, and the vibration amplitude of the gun body is obvious when it continues to fire, so it requires the machine gunner to have good shooting skills and experience in using machine guns, so the general recruits are not competent -- in the German army in World War II, the shooters of the machine gun squad are generally the best fighters in the squad with shooting skills. The requirements for shooting skills made the training of machine gunners of the MG42 more rigorous. It is difficult to achieve it quickly, which restricts the use of MG42 to a certain extent; fourth, it cannot form a large shooting fan. Due to the large ammunition consumption, the MG42 generally does not use ordinary machine guns for long-term strafing in large areas, and for the enemy charging from all directions, unless there is absolutely sufficient ammunition, the MG42 is generally based on strafing configuration and short point fire.

Of course, even if it can solve the production problems and the corresponding logistical problems. Feng Longde will not use this kind of machine gun to deal with the outside human army that enters Gensokyo: not to mention the long distance, at close range, the high rate of fire and high power of MG42 can even interrupt the big tree with a thick bowl mouth, although the effect of hitting people is not to break the corpse on the spot or something, but it is no problem to hit a lump of paste inside the body without arms and legs, even if he is seriously injured and dies on the spot, he can't be saved at all. Every time he fights with the human armies of the outside world, Feng Longde, who mainly focuses on recovering corpses in battle, will definitely not use this weapon to cause trouble for his recovery work, it is better to honestly use the Mauser 98k rifle to slowly sharpen, so that at most, when the corpse is recovered afterwards, it is only necessary to repair a single small single hole in the bone, instead of exhausting and scraping together a complete body with corpse parts all over the ground, which is not enough to toss

The angle at which the sunlight reflected on the ground shifted slightly, and five minutes had passed since the Aztec warriors had begun to step into the muddy swamp a kilometer away.

However, Caroline's large amount of muddy swamps arranged before the battle greatly reduced their speed, and only the Aztec warriors who had rushed to the front had not been killed by the Boghall riflemen's platoon of guns had just rushed to the 300-meter mark, where there was no place where the muddy swamp could run normally, and a considerable part of the rest continued to advance in the muddy swamp with great effort.

During this time, the Boghall riflemen slanted all the ammunition they carried, and the place where they stood was full of shells that had not yet receded from the hot temperature, while on the Aztec warriors' side, Von Rond saw from the soul connection that more than 6,000 Aztec warriors had died on the muddy plains, thanks to Caroline's pre-arranged magic eye and the surveillance of the Revenant Rangers.

In the face of such an astonishing killing effect, Feng Longde couldn't help but lose his temper: this is still the simplest Mauser 98k rifle, and the formation is still a line tactic, which can cause the current amazing results, if his own weapon factory gradually improves and produces a variety of famous German-style weapons to equip the Teutonic army, then

Putting in his delusions in time, Feng Longde soon discovered a serious problem: in history, the reaction of the Aztecs to the musket cannons of the Spanish colonists in the first few times can be said to be about the same level as scared out of Xiang to pee his pants, even if there is no cannon on his side, although the fire sound of the Mauser rifle is much smaller than that of the arquebus, but the speed and power of the fire are far greater than the latter, plus more than half of the casualties, according to the plan of the battle meeting held in the basement hall of the headquarters fort, these Aztec warriors should be completely dispersed at this moment, and the rest is to take advantage of the situation to cover up and clean up the battlefield。

Could it be that these Aztec warriors had already seen firearms before they came to Gensokyo? Feng Longde immediately thought of the Battle of Otuba that Zhu Henghong had mentioned to him in the previous combat meeting, the battle that took place in the two weeks of the "Night of Sorrows", although the disparity in numbers was too great, but the Spanish colonists still miraculously won!

If these 10,000 Aztec warriors all came to Gensokyo from the historical time and space or the corresponding parallel planes after that, then his Boghall riflemen were useless except for killing and injuring horrors: Feng Longde first fought with semi-automatic rifle fire on the premise that the Aztecs had not seen firearms before, and then used the muddy swamp behind them and the fire elemental mines arranged on both sides to block the escape route, leaving only one side to be gradually piled up and annihilated by all the Boghall troops, Caroline and Cirluno and the few monsters and goblins used magic and barrage to carry out a mobile blockade, and he and the King's Guard only played the role of the finale and the finale.

Looking at the increasing number of Aztec warriors who began to run and charge normally after getting rid of the muddy swamp, Feng Longde knew that he would not be able to fight according to the original plan, and could only rely on his own improvisation to command in real time.
