Chapter 101: The Role of the Backbone
Fortunately, the remaining few officers and a few veterans who had fought a lot were very strong, supported themselves, and quickly devoted themselves to their work. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The veterans quickly picked up the bird gun and came to the back of the first cover, not showing their heads, but just stretching out the bird gun to the front for a salvo, and then quickly reloading the salvo again, trying to maintain the illusion that their side had not collapsed.
As for the remaining soldiers, who were somewhat broken, the strict training and the authority of the officers played a decisive role.
Under the reprimands of officers at all levels and the encouragement and reassurance of the company instructors, they slowly regained their composure one by one, and everyone cheered up and began to rescue the injured comrades.
It is strange to say that veterans and officers are the cornerstone of an army, and at such a critical moment, it is the backbone of these armies that turns the tide and does not let the enemy see the flaws.
Otherwise, the enemy will probably rush up and occupy their own positions.
"Thankfully, the enemy used bows and arrows, not firearms."
After looking at the wounds of their comrades-in-arms, many people began to rejoice that if the lead bullet hit the torso, the cavity effect caused by the strong impact would create a huge flocculent lump of flesh near the wound, and the flesh and blood would be blurred and there was no way to treat it.
But after the bow and arrow are shot, the sharp arrow pierces directly into the flesh, as long as it is not the vital point, you can find a way to rescue.
Now it looks like half of the nearly 50 comrades-in-arms fell to the ground with arrows, but except for 7 people who were shot at the key point and died on the spot, among the remaining dozens of people, only 5 were seriously injured and needed emergency medical attention, and the others were all slightly injured.
While the soldiers were rescuing their comrades, the company commander picked up a sacrificial soldier's smoothbore gun again, and while loading ammunition, he hesitated and whispered to the instructor.
"Instructor, we have now killed one of the banner masters of the Jin Kingdom, Azig is a serious high-level personnel of the Jin Kingdom, we have completely turned against the Jin Kingdom, I wonder if the Chinese Revolutionary League and the Common Will Youth League can play the banner in a bright and bright way? Now that the situation is critical, and the fighters are a little timid, I would like to call on the comrades to stand up and take the lead, do you think? ”
The instructor was also a little uncertain, hesitated and didn't speak rashly, but thinking of the current critical situation, and now there is only one person from this company, and it is easy to cover up if something happens, so he agreed, "It's time to motivate everyone at once, I agree with your proposal, but we don't even have party members, you can only gather members of the common will youth league, and it must be in accordance with the principle of voluntariness." ”
The company commander nodded and said that he knew, this aspect is usually managed by the instructor, and he really didn't know the specific personnel, seeing that the instructor also agreed, and after loading the ammunition, he called out loudly.
"Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, listen to me."
When everyone turned their faces, the company commander began to say, "The commander-in-chief has given a death order, the enemy must be stopped by the bridge, the order cannot be bargained, it must be strictly implemented, today is all of us to die in battle, and we must complete the task, I am an officer, I will lead by example, and I will be the vanguard in the next attack." ”
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Now, at this critical moment, I hope that the comrades of the Youth League of the Common Will can stand up, let us set an example together, play a leading role, and comrades who are willing to work with me to serve as the next round of smoothbore gunners, please raise your hand." ”
In the somewhat dazed eyes of a small number of soldiers, a few hands were stretched out one after another.
"Ma Qingsheng, a member of the regiment, reported to the company commander." A wounded man, who had been a smoothbore gunner, held on to his freshly bandaged wound and struggled to sit up, raising his musket and starting to reload.
"Cen Zhicheng, a member of the regiment, reported to the company commander." An ambulance soldier raised his hand, snatched the smoothbore from the hand of a wounded man, and held it tightly in his hand.
"Reserve member Ma Eta reports to Comrade Company Commander." Another wounded man, struggling to move a few steps, the ambulance soldier stepped forward to help him to a fallen soldier and picked up the smoothbore gun that had fallen to the ground.
"Pi Yongyuan, a member of the reserve regiment, reported to the company commander." A soldier with an arrow stuck in his helmet and armor with a dozen arrows on his body raised his hand and also picked up a smoothbore gun from the hands of his fallen comrades.
"Reserve member Yi De Ri reports to Comrade Company Commander."
"Shi Maoxue, a member of the reserve regiment, reported to the company commander."
"I wish Zhen Dong to report to the company commander, although I am not even a reserve member, but I have submitted an application to join the regiment, and I am willing to strictly demand myself according to the criteria of the regiment."
There was only one smoothbore gun left, and the reserve member Yidzh got the smoothbore gun first, and the remaining two came to the company commander, one of whom was named Shi Maoxue and said, "I will replace the first comrade who falls." ”
Zhu Zhendong didn't speak, but his eyes were firm, and he looked at the other side full of hatred.
Company commander, salute the comrades who stood up one by one" Party member Huang Deyong reported to the comrades. ”
When everyone was loaded with ammunition, they were about to lean out and shoot.
The instructor stopped everyone from saying, "Wait a minute. ”
Company Commander Huang Deyong looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
The instructor handed over a cotton armor and said, "Let's take action, take off the cotton armor of the seriously wounded first, and get another cotton armor for the front-line comrades to increase protection." ”
The company commander shook his head, "If you can't wear it, with the size of a cotton armor, you can't put two pieces." ”
The instructor shook the rope in his hand, "Who let you wear it, I let you tie it to your chest with a rope." ”
The company commander's eyes lit up, this method is good, the seriously wounded do not need cotton armor now, and tying the excess cotton armor to their chests can indeed greatly increase protection.
Everyone hurriedly moved, and the enemy of the second team was already approaching, and I was afraid that when they switched cover again, they would have to charge.
Pack up the six musketeers and crouch behind the carcass' bunker.
The company commander exhaled deeply and shouted "shoot"
Be the first to stand and aim at the double-armored enemy thirty-five paces away.
The moment the trigger was pulled, sparks sprayed the lead bullet out of the chamber, and more than thirty steps were just on the accurate range line of the flintlock smoothbore gun, and the lead bullet accurately hit an enemy in the chest.
The 18.5mm huge lead bullet with strong kinetic energy tore through the outer layer of cotton armor composite layer, first the cotton that was slapped into a piece, then the inner layer of iron, and then the second layer of cotton, after continuously piercing the cotton armor composite layer, the lead bullet that consumed some kinetic energy hit the second layer of armor.
The inner layer of chain mail was completely unable to stop the huge buckshot that had begun to decay the kinetic energy, and in the splatter, the deformed buckshot expanded into a round cake and hit the enemy's chest.
In an instant, a fist-sized shockwave expanded at a speed invisible to the naked eye, destroying the internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, and bones of the enemies hit.
By the time the shock wave dissipated, the enemy's chest was already a mess, and his own mother couldn't recognize it.
Several other people also hit their targets, and the enemy killed 6 elites on the spot, but the other party was unmoved, and the rest immediately returned fire.
More than 100 heavy arrows hit 6 people with the sound of the wind, and the great force directly knocked them to the ground.
