Chapter Seventy-Three: The Troops Enter the City

Chen Xin's insistence on the command to use the steel shield paid off at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The North Koreans made the bird guns of poor quality, they did not dare to reload the gunpowder enough, and the small caliber and the round projectile with no aerodynamic shape could not penetrate the steel shield at all, but the shield was slightly dented, and the lead bullet was firmly embedded in it.

The remaining guards swarmed up and eliminated the enemy in the courtyard in three or two.

The combat engineer platoon immediately aimed its guns at the access to the third courtyard to provide cover for everyone, and the medics began to check on the fallen soldiers.

"My lord, only two of them were slightly injured, one broke his foot, the other sprained his arm, and needed to recuperate for a while, the others were just blinded by the strong impact, just rest for a while."

Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to the two dejected guards, and said with a straight face, "Find out the reason for yourself, why you were injured, heal your injury, step and holding a shield, these two basic skills should be strengthened and practiced." Now stay here and be on the lookout. ”

The two beat their chests and saluted, and answered loudly "yes"

The grenade explosion and firecracker fire just now had already woken up the enemy troops in the city, and there was already an intermittent sound of firing from the direction of the city gate, which sounded like their own large-caliber flintlock smoothbore guns.

The gunfire was not intense, but the cries in the city were getting louder and louder, and Chen Xin listened to the movement and knew that his attack was going well.

Turning around with confidence, he led everyone to continue the attack.

At the gate of the city, Kan was bound to the shouting and roaring of the squad leader, and followed his team closely.

After being reorganized for street fighting, their platoon consisted of three 10-member killer squads and two unrelegated firearms squads.

The 3rd Company of the 1st Squadron, which he was in, ran through the city gate hole in order, and the dark door hole echoed with the sound of dense footsteps and the collision of iron armor pieces.

In this solemn atmosphere, Kan Shu's involuntary mood was a little complicated, a little excited and a little apprehensive, he was a wrapper added after fighting Anzhou, and now this is the first official battle he has participated in.

After passing through the doorway, Kan Shu's eyes lit up, squinted his eyes slightly, and when he adjusted to the light, he saw a row of people wearing North Korean civilian clothes and wearing red scarves standing there with waist knives.

Kanshu couldn't help but turn his head away, and in the empty streets, there was no enemy in sight except his own allies, and he was apprehensive, and he quickened his pace, and followed the squad leader closely.

After the first squadron entered the city, it was scattered on several small roads in the company.

It wasn't until they ran out of 1 mile that the grenade explosion unique to their own troops could be heard in the distance.

The originally silent city instantly boiled, and countless Korean rebels ran out of their houses in rags.

In the rapid advance, the Korean rebels scattered throughout the city did not dare to engage them, and fled one after another.

Occasionally, when encountering a small group of dozens of enemy troops, there is no need to use the firearms squad to fire a volley, and each killer squad is equipped with two flintlock smoothbore guns, which can scare the enemy into a huge hole in the person's body.

Kan Shu was the musketeer of the second group of the killer squad, he followed closely behind the squad leader, all the way to the south, along the way, without him had not shot at any enemy, seeing that all the North Koreans could escape and escaped, those who could not run knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

As long as these North Koreans kneeling on the ground, without weapons in their hands, they simply ignored them, ran over quickly, and captured them, that was the business of the second squadron.

Occasionally, a few people who forgot to put down their hoes and sticks were immediately killed by the team rushing ahead, without mercy.

After running a long way, there were several sounds of bird-gun shooting in front, and several firearms squads in the front row immediately returned fire with a salvo.

After entering the city, the effect of the first salvo was very shocking, and the enemy fell down in an instant like cutting leeks, and the remaining enemies immediately collapsed, desperately throwing down the firearm in their hands and turning to flee.

After turning a few intersections in front, the attack of the 3rd Company was finally temporarily blocked, and here they encountered hundreds of young and strong enemies, who were supposed to be former Korean officers and soldiers, fully armed with bows and arrows, and kept shooting at the corners of the streets.

At present, Chen Xinjun's armor rate is less than one-third, and although the soft bow of the North Koreans cannot penetrate the iron armor, it still has some lethality against unarmored targets, and the three companies were shot and wounded several people in succession.

The commander of the 3rd company glanced at the platoon commander who was bandaging when he was leading the charge by an enemy bow and arrow with a cut in his arm.

While organizing the men with bows and arrows in the company to fight back, he turned around and shouted, "One platoon, one shift"

"To," the class leader replied loudly.

"I'll give you a reinforcement of a firearms squad, take your people, go around, and copy the enemy's rear."

The platoon commander rushed to take the task, and was kicked in the ass by the 3rd company commander, "Go aside, don't make trouble, bandage the wound, and there will be a time for you to make meritorious contributions." ”

The first squad leader received the order and led two squads of people into a small alley next to it, where the doors of every house were open, and it was empty at this time.

After turning a few corners in the alley, the squad leader was completely blindfolded, and he got lost.

Listening to the shouts and shots around him, the squad leader was full of anxiety, pulled over the Kanshu hiding behind him, rushed to a relatively lofty courtyard, stepped on his shoulder, and climbed onto the roof.

Looking around from the rooftop, the squad leader soon saw that he was blocked at the entrance of the alley not far away, and immediately turned around and beckoned the musketeers who were not wearing armor to come up.

The two flintlock muskets of the killer squad plus the five bird guns of the firearms squad (the personnel were not fully staffed), the whole squad had a total of 7 muskets, fired a volley at the enemy's back, and then immediately hid under the roof to reload.

The dense ranks of enemies were suddenly hit and looked a little flustered.

However, under the pressure of a leader and several of his cronies, the blockade of the front was immediately restored, and the leader divided into a dozen men to search around to find the enemy behind him.

The Korean rebels, who had searched for the enemy, did not find the enemy, so they headed for an alley in the rear.

After waiting for a while without waiting for the enemy's counterattack, the squad leader on the roof poked his head out again, saw that the opposing team was under pressure, and immediately locked on to the target, and after loading the ammunition, he arranged the shooting targets one by one, and let the seven people aim at the leader and the people around him.

The flintlock smoothbore gun can accurately hit the target in 30 steps, and 50 steps can hit a target roughly the size of a human body, and now that the two sides are separated by more than 40 steps, it is still no problem to hit the enemy leader.

The squad leader specially selected Kanshu, who had the best performance in shooting training in peacetime, to target the enemy leader.

Kanshu, who has always been a little cowardly, once he aims at the target, that kind of shyness is run away from the clouds.

At this time, Kanshu is completely unaffected by the outside world.

The squad leader's encouraging eyes, the smoke of gunpowder rising in the distance, everything was not in Kanshu's eyes, he tightly locked on to the enemy leader through the crosshairs, and then quietly waited for the order to launch.
