Chapter 447: Mentality
The recruits, under the leadership of veterans and non-commissioned officers, firmly followed the large army to move together.
In the array of the Houjin Army opposite, a group of Houjin Army soldiers, with armor, helmets, coats, shoes, and all the other things on their bodies, were in different shapes, just like a hodgepodge.
After getting closer, this sight of the enemy somewhat made the recruits, who were accustomed to seeing neat and uniform scenes, involuntarily settle down a little bit in their hearts. That's the power of the collective.
On the other side, the dark-skinned Houjin Infantry Armor wearing helmet-like helmets, almost all of them had two eyes that shone with a fierce light under the iron brim.
The non-commissioned officers of the Huaxia Army kept reminding the recruits loudly.
"Don't make eye contact with the enemy's gaze, it's just the eyes of a beast, there's nothing to focus on."
"And don't look at the spears and knives not far in front of you, for those will be of little use except to knock you off."
"All you need to do now is keep your eyes fixed on the shoulder position of the enemy opposite you, and watch for the other person's movements."
"While staring at the enemy's shoulder, you should also pay attention to your own feet, and you must move your steps slowly, and you must judge the distance between you and the enemy. Always ready to attack or defend. ”
Although the spears more than 4 meters long were lost under the key blows of the Huaxia army, the number of tiger spears most commonly used by the Houjin army was much more than that of spears, which was enough for the Houjin army to form a thick spear formation.
However, the tiger gun that Houjin is accustomed to is not used to carry out this kind of group confrontation on a flat end, and that thing is top-heavy, but it is not good to maintain a flat posture.
Even if the soldiers of the Houjin Army train all year round, they can't put the tiger gun flat for too long, and everyone present knows that it will come sooner or later.
Soon, the bayonets and tiger guns of the enemy and the enemy began to be handed over.
At this moment, in the middle of the two fronts, there are dense swords and guns flashing with cold light, and the tips of bayonets and tiger guns are slowly staggering, and between the barrels of guns and the barrels of rifles, there are still gentle collision sounds from time to time.
At this time, all the sound of the drums on both sides had stopped, and the soldiers with swords and spears on the tip of their noses no longer followed the sound.
The soldiers facing each other on the front line were all engrossed in staring at their opponents in front of them, and in the slow approach, they judged the most suitable time for assassination with their own training, actual combat experience, and biological instincts.
At this moment, no one had the time to make any other sounds, only the shouts and reminders of the officers, and the rustle of footsteps.
Of course, these are the cases of those who are in close contact with each other.
You know, in addition to the wide width of the front, the ranks of this era also have a deep front that is extremely thick and prevents it from being penetrated by the enemy at any time.
The fighters in front were in a tense confrontation, and there was no time to reload even the ammunition, so it was impossible to continue shooting with rifles.
However, behind the front, the fighters in the depth of the array are still idle.
They had already taken advantage of the slow pace in front of them, and in the time they were close to each other, they had reloaded their ammunition.
However, just like Murphy's Law on the battlefield mentioned earlier, things will never go in the direction that people want, and the soldiers in the back are ready to fight, but their own troops in front are densely entangled with the enemy, and they do not crouch down to expose the gap in the muzzle of the guns in the rear.
The flintlock musketeers in the back had the ability to shoot, but they couldn't find a place to shoot.
Except for a few who stood a little higher, or were taller themselves, and could pass through the heads of their comrades in front of them and open fire on the enemy, most of the flintlock musketeers could only wait helplessly. I tried my best to think of various methods, hoping to give full play to my own firepower advantage as soon as possible. At this moment, the recruits are like being in a forest of long weapons, with bayonets stretched out by their comrades in the back row on both sides of their heads, and their own bayonets and the barrels of the enemy's guns in front of them.
At this moment, the tiger spear heads of the tiger spears opposite to his own side were still swaying slightly up and down, and the closest part of the heads of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army was less than 1 meter.
Fortunately, thanks to the fact that the Huaxia Army was a new revolutionary group, and Chen Xin, a time-traveler who crossed over from the era of the Big Bang of Consulting, the Huaxia Army had long established the habit of summarizing the battlefield.
A few years ago, when the Huaxia Army was still using the Mandarin Duck Formation to conduct operations, the army began to develop the habit of close-range confrontation exercises, so even the eggs of new recruits will not be unfamiliar with this feeling of facing the enemy's spear tip and brain.
However, this scene is no longer a drill after all, and the tip of the gun in front of him is shaking slightly, and it will not replace the lime-stained wooden pole before the assassination begins, as was the case during the exercise. This is a real murderous thing.
Sensing that the tip of the enemy's spear was probably almost within the range of the assassination, some of the recruits did not dare to approach the enemy anymore and stopped stiffly.
Directly in front of them and on the flanks were three spearheads, all of which were extremely threatening on the battlefield, and the enemy would stab diagonally to the flanks at any time.
This tense scene, as well as the uncertain future, deeply stimulated the nerves of recruits and even veterans, and many people's foreheads were already densely covered with beads of sweat.
Of course, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were very nervous, and the soldiers of the Houjin Army on the opposite side were no better.
At this moment, in front of weapons, everyone is equal.
The soldiers of the Houjin Army were also hesitating, nervous, trembling, and obscene, and the bayonets in the hands of the uneasy recruits of the Huaxia Army were also on the heads of the Houjin soldiers.
The formation of the Huaxia Army is very straight. In addition, the assassination action of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army is to lean to the right, holding the gun in the left hand and going forward, and holding the butt of the gun in the right hand behind.
When the Huaxia army made a move to prepare for assassination, the right hand was hidden behind him, covered by the other Huaxia soldiers.
The soldiers of the Houjin Army who were facing each other from the Huaxia Army on the opposite side could not judge the assassination distance of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army from the front, slightly biased to the flank.
Perhaps when the Houjin soldiers took a step further, they would be attacked simultaneously by three rifles equipped with bayonets.
Moreover, the tiger guns used by the soldiers of the Houjin Army were not prepared for this kind of scene at all, the center of gravity of that thing was too far forward, and it was not only difficult to hold, but also had to leave a section of the tail of the gun in the back.
In this way, not only did the attack range of the Tiger Gun be reduced, but also, over time, when the physical strength of the Houjin soldiers reached a certain level, they had to extend the length of the tail of the gun to maintain the balance of the gun body.
Therefore, don't look at the fact that there are more recruits in the Huaxia Army now, and their mentality is more anxious, but in fact, the soldiers of the Houjin Army are the most worried and anxious now.
