The "short" rifle is, naturally, relative to the "long" rifle that the main armament of the Chinese army.

The close combat of the Huaxia army has always been a weak point, because of the high manufacturing price of revolvers and cumbersome maintenance measures, it cannot be distributed in batches, so the "short" rifle was produced.

It is specially "developed" to equip a special rifle for street fighting, night fighting, and melee combat.

This is a much shorter rifle than the "long" rifle commonly used by the Huaxia Army, and the rifle mounted by the infantry of the Huaxia Army, if you do not count the length of the bolt and the butt, the barrel alone is more than 50cm long.

And the barrel of this "short" rifle is only about 35cm. However, the caliber of the "short" rifle is still 18.5mm.

In fact, it was just a cut of the "long" rifle equipped by the Huaxia Army. It is a special rifle designed to fire shotguns, capable of firing 9 to 11 large particles of lead bullets at a time.

Well, this statement is not accurate, the "long" rifle of the Huaxia Army can also fire shotguns of the same specification, which is one of the main reasons why the large caliber of 18.5mm is still retained after the initial equipment discussion.

However, after the "long" rifle fires a shotgun, the projectiles will be bound together because of the length of the barrel, and after traveling for a short distance, they will be dispersed around the perimeter.

That is to say, at short distances, the shotgun fired by the "long" rifle is no different from the single-headed bullet, and the original purpose of firing the shotgun cannot be achieved, and only when the enemy is at a distance of 50 meters, the shotgun fired by the "long" rifle can play its intended role and hit multiple targets at the same time.

However, in this way, if a large number of enemies are encountered within 50 meters, firing shotguns from "long" rifles is wasteful, and for the fighters, the shotguns of rifles are completely ineffective.

It is precisely because of the shortcomings of the "long" rifle that the kingdom specially came up with this "short" rifle, which is also capable of firing from 9 to 11 lead bullets at a time.

After firing from the muzzle, the barrel is much less binding on the projectile because the barrel is much shorter, and correspondingly, the projectile begins to spread very early, and can cause damage to multiple enemies within a distance of 30 meters.

It's just that there are advantages and disadvantages, the barrel binding force is small, the effective killing distance is much shorter, and its maximum killing distance is only about 50 meters, and if it exceeds this distance, the dispersion area of the projectile is too large, and I am afraid that even the elephant will not be hit.

This "short" rifle has a series of characteristics that make it ideal for night and street battles, and it is also a sharp weapon when attacking a city.

In addition to the "short" rifles, the combat sappers each carried four grenades and a thick-backed waist knife on their backs, which were specially designed for possible close-quarters melees, and, in each squad formation, the group leader and the squad leader, each had a revolver.

Chen Xin looked at the appearance of the soldiers of the commando team, and inexplicably felt a little familiar, and thought for a while before Chen Xin remembered that this was not the outfit of the broadsword team that he had seen in historical pictures and TV series before the crossing, but it was just an extra combat vest with bulletproof steel plates.

At this time, the political workers had finished the final pre-battle mobilization for them, and the soldiers shouted in unison, and then, led by the officers, set off towards the city gate.

Chen Xin immediately put aside his brain-opening thoughts, and just watched them out of the city until the vague figures of the warriors gradually disappeared into the darkness.

······

At 1 o'clock in the morning, two red fireworks bombs rose from the north wall of Lushun and flew straight into the sky.

Suddenly, on the quiet rammed earth wall defense line of Arthur, as if a volcano had erupted violently, all field artillery, infantry artillery and small-caliber smoothbore guns began to bombard at the same time.

The orange-red flames emitted from the muzzle of the cannon were as brilliant as fireworks set off at a festival.

At the same time, the sound of "crackling" rifle shooting sounded along the entire Lushun defense line, and when you look at it from the direction of the Houjin Army, you can find that on the entire defense line, there is a spectacular scene of fire shining everywhere.

Behind the rammed earth walls on both wings of the assault site, two magnificent fireworks suddenly burst out from the ground into the oblique spurs, and then two loud roars that seemed to be like the sky was cracking.

It is a mortar directly under the combat engineer company, which is inspired by the original mortar artillery, of course, this is just the reason for Chen Xin's announcement, in fact, mortar, in the world before the crossing, this kind of artillery has always been the basic support firepower of the infantry in the armies of various countries, and after the collision fuse of the shell has a breakthrough, it is natural that this weapon will not be forgotten.

It's just that because Chen Xin was just a military fan before, at most he had used firearms in the shooting range, but he had never touched such a thing as a mortar, so when designing, he couldn't pay attention to various design standards.

Therefore, we do not dare to manufacture them on a large scale now, so we can only manufacture artillery of various specifications one by one, and then hand them over to the front line for trial and continuous improvement.

Now, the Huaxia Army only has these mortars, which can really be said to be a sharp weapon, but the disadvantage is that the shooting accuracy is relatively low, and the tail of the shell that needs to be manufactured with high precision is very difficult to manufacture.

As long as there is a slight deviation in the tail, the flight trajectory of the shell in the air will become very irregular, and Chief of Staff Liu is even worried that the shells fired by this kind of artillery will fly directly to the head of his own commando.

Therefore, he did not dare to use it to provide direct support. Instead, shells are fired in the direction of the two flanks of the attack position, on the one hand, to disrupt the perception of the enemy forces on both flanks, and on the other hand, to cut off their connection with the middle area, so that they cannot reinforce the main attack area.

At this time, all over the defense line of the Houjin Army, there was a panicked deployment, the sudden outbreak of fierce artillery bombardment, and the posture of fighting on the whole line, so that they had no way to judge the true intentions of the Huaxia Army.

And the deep night made the soldiers and coats of the Houjin Army, who generally had night blindness in this era, feel extremely uncomfortable.

The location chosen by the assault team to launch the final attack was less than 50 meters away from the rammed earth wall built by Houjintian.

Suddenly a crowd of figures jumped out of the trench, and behind them, a string of torches lit up at the same time.

Both sides of the enemy and us at this time made the fire as bright as possible, so the line of sight slowly became clearer, Chen Xin saw from the telescope, the combat sappers were rapidly advancing forward, and the rammed earth wall opposite,
