Chapter 437: Suicide note
Zachdan looked in the direction pursued by the left flank of the 1st Mixed Brigade, and secretly prayed that he would be able to arrive soon.
As long as the support forces responsible for pursuing Duoduo can reach this side, then Duoduo will definitely be in danger, and under the sword of the Huaxia army, another descendant of Nurhachi can be killed.
Just as Zachdan was thinking about things, there were four consecutive cannon shots from the infantry array.
Zachdan immediately woke up to the sound of infantry cannon firing.
Before the battle, Zachdan personally authorized the infantry artillery crews to have the power to open fire when the enemy was within range.
Now, the artillery has really been fired, which means that the battle between the two sides has finally begun.
As soon as the infantry of the Houjin Tartars entered the distance of 800 meters, the four infantry cannons roared at the same time.
Because the infantry gun pays attention to the weight of the gun body, and uses weight-reducing materials as much as possible, its target head is slightly poor.
High-explosive bombs filled with high-explosive charges are extremely expensive, so the number of equipment is very small.
At the time of this first test launch, no one was going to use expensive high-explosive shells as ammunition.
Therefore, two solid long shells suddenly rushed out of the muzzle, with a faint trace formed by the burning of gunpowder, and smashed fiercely into the line of Houjin Tartar.
The infantry gun is a front-line support weapon equipped at the first level of the infantry detachment, so when it was developed, it was determined that it should be a direct-fire weapon.
Two solid bullets drew a small arc of parabola, and smashed into the front of the Houjin Tartars' position, splashing large clouds of dirt and grass clippings.
It's a pity that there was no good start, and there is still a little distance from the enemy.
The four infantry artillery crews quickly completed the secondary reloading of the ammunition, still maintaining the muzzle angle just now.
After the infantry line of Houjin Tartar slowly approached the hit point of the series just now, the four infantry guns pulled the fuse at the same time.
This time, as luck would have it, four solid shells, after flying some distance, one of the shells, hit exactly the infantry ranks of the Houjin Tartars.
Among the soldiers of the Huaxia Army standing in the front line, several good marksmen with better eyes saw that the shells were in the enemy's ranks, bringing up a field of weapons flying wildly. Fragments of armor, and sections of stumps and severed arms.
After the shells landed, several soldiers of the Houjin Army were overturned to the ground by the shock wave formed by the shells hitting the ground.
That scene really makes people's hearts sway, and they can't help but feel a little chilling.
In the front line of the Houjin army, the small gap that was smashed by the artillery was quickly filled by the infantry armor that continued to advance behind.
The enemy's front is still moving firmly.
The commanders of the four gun crews constantly gave loud orders, and several gunners skillfully cooperated with each other, adjusting the angle of fire while continuously firing at the enemy.
These infantry guns in the Huaxia Army have been used for some years, although they have been well maintained, but after shelling all year round, no matter how good the metal is, it cannot guarantee the same performance as when it left the factory.
Therefore, the current artillery crew members do not dare to continue to fire at ultra-high intensity as they did in the first few years.
They have been trying to maintain an even rate of two rounds per minute, and carry out artillery fire, which is the prescribed rate of infantry artillery fire in the army.
The queue of the Houjin army was hit by the 40mm caliber shells of the infantry guns from time to time, but the solid bullets with a pointed and long style were still a little insufficient in power when dealing with loose offensive queues.
It was not enough to shake the determination of the Houjin army to attack, and every time the front of the Houjin side was damaged, there was immediately a vacancy for the people behind to not be in the queue again.
"I'm the next Ao, the Tartar is really firm enough this time!" Seeing this scene in the enemy's queue happening from time to time, some soldiers in the front row of the Huaxia Army array sighed, "Tartars are really going to fight hard this time!" ”
muttered a few words in their hearts, and the recruits couldn't help but start their hearts beat faster.
"Don't really use the suicide note, my suicide note really can't be used!" A soldier muttered quietly. The rule in the army is that before the big war, you must write a suicide note and leave it in the barracks paperwork in the rear.
A non-commissioned officer beside him glanced at him and said, "What, now I feel that what is written in the suicide note is not what I want to say the most?" ”
The recruit sneered, "Squad leader, that, that, I thought the suicide note wouldn't be used, so I drew a circle and handed it in." Squad leader, can you rewrite the suicide note now? ”
The squad leader suddenly froze in anger, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say a word of reproach, but said in a low voice, "Where can I get you paper and pen now?" If you have anything to say, say it quickly, if you really ······, a few of you present, whoever survives, will bring you a message. ”
Hearing this, another recruit leaned his head and whispered, "Squad leader, my suicide note is not written, can I bring a sentence together?" ”
······
Ignoring the of a few recruits, on the battlefield, there is a lot of artillery fire.
At this moment, the faint smell of gunsmoke permeated the entire front, making people smell a little excited.
In the hearts of several officers in the front row, they very much hoped that the longer the artillery bombardment would be, the better, and that the more artillery pieces there were, the better, and that it would be best to place a whole row of dozens of infantry guns in front of the position, and when the enemy approached, they would use a horrific grenade salvo to wipe out the enemy on the opposite side in one fell swoop.
Of course, everyone is well aware that this is nothing more than a fantasy.
Not to mention whether the production of artillery can be supplied, let's just say that the personnel of the relevant departments of logistics support will also want to kill any bastard who makes such a suggestion.
Because, with the strength of the kingdom and the mode of transportation in this era, it is simply impossible to complete that kind of perverted artillery preparation logistics.
The rate of fire of the four infantry guns has always remained at the same frequency, without much change.
However, several artillery commanders also understood that the Houjin Tartar was about to enter the usual dashing distance, and when the time came, the enemy would definitely approach quickly. There is not much time left for them to bombard these guns.
Therefore, the members of the infantry artillery crew quickly pried open the ammunition boxes of high-explosive shells and began to bombard the enemy array with high-explosive ammunition.
The closer the enemy is to the artillery, the higher the hit rate of these infantry support guns with short barrels and light guns.
In the 6th round of shelling, the members of the infantry artillery crew achieved a good result, and the screams of the enemy were faintly heard at a position of less than 400 meters, and the stumps and broken arms were splashed everywhere.
