Chapter 31: New Troubles After the War Part I
The tactic of lining up to shoot is a strange figure in the history of firearms warfare in Europe, because the early smoothbore guns were slow to load, unreliable, and inaccurate, so they had to adopt such a tactic that makes people laugh and cry. But at this time, although the traversers in their hands are advanced weapons that are hundreds of years superior to this world, they do not have the consciousness of throwing their heads and spilling blood for the new world, and there is no way to adopt this kind of queuing and shooting tactics at this time. To the flutes of the Grenadier March and the rhythmic snare drums, the rabble was effectively organized and fought as one with the greatest might and with the greatest effectiveness of advanced weapons. This is certain, because the soldiers who rushed to the front fell more than twenty people after the first shot, and then there was a firing frequency of one second per second, and in ten seconds, more than 100 soldiers who rushed to the front lay on the ground, and the soldiers behind led these soldiers who had begun to slow down their legs and feet and prepare to flee under the order of Nguyen Shimin to divide into two ways, trying to outflank the team of 90 people from the two wings.
This team of 90 pirates did not start to shoot nervously or even flee as Ruan Shimin expected, but immediately formed a phalanx, the phalanx was composed of two rows of people on all sides, the first row should be the people who had just emptied the firecracker, they were half-kneeling on the ground, holding the butt of the gun on the ground, the spear spur stretched out diagonally upward, and took out pieces of shiny medicine from their pockets and filled the firecracker. The flag-bearer in the middle of the line continued to shout the password, and under the command that Nguyen Shimin didn't understand, the pirates in the second row raised their firearms around the formation. It turned out that when he saw the formation of this phalanx, he was still a little funny, and in this state of being besieged, he also formed this kind of defensive formation on all sides, and it was inconvenient to wait for it to charge or retreat, but at this time he suddenly found that he was laughing too early. Although the pirates were a quadrangular formation, they took care of the defense in all directions, and no matter where the enemy attacked from, they would be subjected to concentrated fire on at least two lines. But it was too late, and the remaining 300 or so soldiers were once again subjected to ten seconds of intense fire, and immediately collapsed, crying and screaming, while dropping their weapons, trampling on the corpses and wounded and fleeing to the rear, and even the two tiger cannon crews were so frightened that they dropped their guns and turned around and fled into the jungle.
Ruan Shimin saw that the battle situation was completely reversed, and hurriedly flew on the horse without saying a word, and hurriedly fled back with a few personal soldiers on horseback.
Liu Lihua's heart was beating suddenly at this time, he felt that his eyes were black, and he couldn't stand under his feet. "Did we win the war?" Someone in the team asked.
Everyone was still watching the Wu Dynasty troops flee back in a panic, and the people on horseback were particularly dazzling in this group of deserters crying for their fathers and mothers.

"Because the lumber mill is behind the main camp, so the timber mill's defense at the beginning is stronger than the brick mill's defense, although there are many people but the equipment is too far from the official army, and there is no artillery, the damage caused to the timber mill is even far inferior to the official army, the officers and soldiers have knocked down a wall and demolished a watchtower, but the timber mill has not even broken through the second trench." Xiao Mingwei sat in the tent of the command center and listened to Zeng Zhigang's report. "Although the defense of the timber mill is not outstanding, the assault vehicles we sent from the vehicle yard and the lurking posts behind have successfully surrounded most of the fleeing villagers, and ......" Zeng Zhigang coughed embarrassedly, "Because the quality of the participants is not high, we have rescued at least 600 wounded on the battlefield, and now they have been handed over to the medical team for treatment." ”
There was a roar of a four-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle outside, and then Tang Xunliang took Liu Lihua and Gu Fulin to lift the curtain from outside and walked in. "Old Xiao!"
"Oh, it's Don Jr.!" Xiao Mingwei greeted directly, "I heard that you guys went away today!" Ha ha. ”
"I'm speechless, I've been in the army for more than ten years, and I've never seen a war like this." Tang Xunliang took off his training hat and found a marching chair to sit down.
"Oh, I heard that, huh...... Why are you angry? Xiao Mingwei had already learned through the walkie-talkie that today Gu Fulin and Liu Lihua led people to defeat four times the enemy of his own without cover, he thought that it was because he stole the limelight of Tang Xunliang's commander that made him so angry, and hurriedly helped Gu Fulin and Liu Lihua explain to him, "You don't know this is a normal phenomenon, today's battle was originally relatively sudden, and everyone has been busy with the construction of beach camps in the past ten days after we landed before, and there is not enough time for unified training, this ...... Today's queue to shoot the queue is that we have been training in the militia training camp for a long time before the crossing, so they use this method to meet the enemy, which is also a flexible tactic, you have to understand. ”
Tang Xunliang waved his hand, "I'm not angry, I'm curious, I thought they came up with this tactic themselves, and suddenly ran out in a long line, I was so scared that my legs were weak, what if I was really beaten by these natives outside?" Who of us can afford to die in the patriarch? ”
At this time, he was really in a state of dismay, in the whole battle, his defensive position was the most completely collapsed, and the only seriously wounded man was also from his defensive position - the bazooka man who was almost blown out in the air, if this large group of rabble was crushed head-on by the native troops, how many people would have to die? The patriarch is not a native person, and he is also a person who has received modern education and has modern knowledge and concepts that may not be cultivated in the past few decades, and he must not be lost.
"Hehe, I don't blame you for this, we didn't expect this before, if we had known that this queue shooting tactic could play such a big role, then there would be no need to dig trenches to set up defenses. It took so much time and mechanical wear and tear. ”

Cheng Jun's legs were still weak when he walked into the office of the executive committee, he had never killed an animal bigger than a mouse in his life, but today he was holding a machine gun and firing at the crowd, watching the whip-like bullets splash blood in the crowd, and the swarming crowd fell one by one like wheat cut down by a sickle, and he vomited at that time. But this is not an isolated phenomenon, when I cleaned up the battlefield after participating in the war today, it was more than an hour after the end of the battle, and the prisoners were still sent to clean up.
"Hello, Comrade Chengjun, is there anything wrong?" Yang Minghuan and Du Yande were discussing what factory to build next, and when they saw Cheng Jun walking in with a large folder, they hurriedly asked.
"Here is the Planning Commission's statistics on today's battle casualties and captured materials." Cheng Jun handed the folder to Du Yande, who reached out to pick it up. "Five hundred and sixty-three bodies were recovered on the battlefield, 1,355 healthy prisoners were captured, and 377 wounded were rescued. Nine hundred and thirty-five iron long knives, 1,300 iron spears, 390 sets of wooden bows and crossbows, and feathered arrows were not counted, but they were still counting. In addition, thirty-two carts were captured, twenty-one were damaged, three horses, twenty oxen, two intact tiger squat guns and a Franc cannon with broken wheels, sixteen barrels of propellant and a large number of iron projectiles. ”
"Oh!" Du Yande couldn't help but feel overjoyed, "There are really a lot of things seized!" "But Yang Minghuan didn't mean to be happy at all." What about our own losses? ”
"One seriously wounded, thirty-six slightly injured." Cheng Jun looked at Yang Minghuan's expression, and estimated that he was going to ask, so he hurriedly said: "The serious injuries are mainly from the shotguns fired, there are too many wounds, and now there is a little too much blood loss, and there is also a blood transfusion in the medical center, and the minor injuries are mainly cut or poked during the fight with Xiang Yong." But because they were all wearing stab-proof suits and steel helmets, they were not life-threatening. ”
"By the way, what about the supplies we consumed?" Du Yande suddenly remembered this most important thing.
"The ammunition consumed in the battle was three thousand five hundred and eighty-five rounds and three rockets. In addition, several sections of barbed wire have been completely destroyed and cannot be used. There was also a brickyard that was knocked down, a section of the wall was broken, and a watchtower was toppled down. ”
Du Yande's face turned green when he heard this. At this time, the traversers did not even get out of the iron-making furnace, although the bullet production equipment and reloading equipment were available, but at this time they could not be produced due to the lack of raw materials, although there were a lot of things seized, but they were not worth mentioning compared to the ammunition consumed.
"By the way, do you have any suggestions from the Planning Commission for the next step of construction?"
Cheng Jun thought for a moment, "I think we're going to start industrial production now, and ...... else" The door of the office was pushed open with a bang, startling everyone inside.
Sun Wenbin walked in angrily. "We're in big trouble now."
"What's wrong?" Du Yande asked, looking at the tanned face that had been running around on the beach since landing.
"What else? There will not be enough to eat, the food we brought was originally provided to our own 500 or so people for six months, but more than 100 captives were captured before, and these grains were only enough to eat for about four months, and now more than 1,700 people have come at once, how can we feed so many mouths? ”
"Isn't this navy always fishing? Deliver it to the cafeteria every day? ”
"I also said about the canteen, today Tang Shuai came to me, saying that seafood can indeed supplement protein, but it can't be eaten as a meal, if there is not enough fat, you can only consume a lot of food. It's winter again, and even though it's tropical, the grain doesn't ripen so quickly, so we have to find a way to find a source of food. Sun Wenbin said and wiped his face again.
