Chapter 441: Shooting
The words of the company deputy had just fallen, and the top marksmen who had gone out to the front of the position with the tacit consent of the officers and fired at the enemy stragglers came to fire a somewhat neat volley.
At the same time, the infantry artillery group also fired another round of grenade shots.
"Why do you still engage in salvo fire between the superior shooter and the stragglers on the opposite side? Something is wrong with the brain······" Lian Yi frowned and opened his mouth to scold, but suddenly stopped.
Now is not the time for gossip. However, this time, the dogmatic shooting was firmly remembered by him.
He had already decided that when this battle was over and the battle was summarized, he must bring it up and scold the bastard who gave the order.
Such dogmatic, rigid, and rigid officers are simply not fit to lead a straggler's ranks.
After this round of shooting, the order from the superior was blown by the heralds, and a group of fine marksmen among the flintlock pistols quickly retreated from the gaps in the ranks.
The company deputy watched these good marksmen quickly divide into two teams, stood behind the two company phalanxes, and immediately began to nervously reload their ammunition.
After the ammunition was loaded, they returned to their respective queues through the gap in the crowd to continue standby.
Immediately after that, at the position of the battalion flag, the herald blew a horn, and the company deputy knew that this was the order just said, and immediately turned to the drum and bugle player and said, "Normal marching speed, drum and trumpet go." ”
A forward horn sounded, and the fighters of the special service platoon quickly raised their pump-action rifles and erected them on the right side of their bodies.
As soon as the drum and trumpet sounded, the warriors began to march on the drum.
After walking out of the queue of the companies on both sides and entering the empty battlefield, the soldiers felt the "boom, boom" of the Jin army on ······the opposite side The sound of striding forward is already clearly audible.
The Later Jin army was afraid of the artillery and muskets in the hands of the Huaxia army, and the Huaxia army was worried that the Houjin army would use infantry bows to shoot at close range while worrying about the savage direct charge of the large cavalry of the Later Jin.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the wishes of both sides are almost the same, both hope to be able to enter the distance where their own side can exert maximum damage as soon as possible, and then engage in a suppressive fight.
At this moment, in front of the company and the deputy, there were no more high-class shooters who attacked to block their vision, and in his field of vision, the stragglers in front of the infantry array of the Houjin Army were also shot down by no less than 30 people in the confrontation just now.
In this way, the enemy's already scattered skirmish line became even more scattered, and some people in the enemy's infantry formation fell in the shot just now.
If they fall while the queue is advancing, it is simply unlucky, and life and death are no longer in their own hands, it is completely up to luck.
Because the Great Array is a collective, the marching speed of the whole army must be the same. It is impossible for the person in the back to stop immediately because the person in front of him has fallen.
Because, behind the people behind, there is a group of soldiers who can't see anything, so the person who falls to the ground will be directly stepped on by the person behind him.
The soldiers of the special service platoon are all good at high-intensity shooting training, and their eyes are good at one by one, and at this moment, when you look at it, you can find that those stragglers in the front branch of the Houjin Army array now look a little panicked.
However, because the skirmishers are not limited by the distance between the front and back of the large formation, they can move freely to dodge, so they can still continue to move forward under the rain of bullets.
Moreover, the nearest group of them had approached a distance of about 80 meters from their own array, and began to shoot with heavy arrows.
Even, some of the more fierce Shengjurchen were still dissatisfied with this distance, and continued to move forward with dodging left and right. They took the armor-piercing weapons and bows and arrows in their hands, and rushed all the way directly to a distance of 3 or 40 meters from their own array.
The array of infantry units in the rear of the spy platoon suddenly came with a fierce volley of muskets at the sound of the order.
The flintlock musketeers in the array began to shoot in turn, although they were still flintlock guns, but because of the rear loading technology, the front row did not need to fall back after the shooting.
After the first row of shots, as long as you half-crouch down, pull the bolt from the back of the rifle, clear the chamber, reload the ammunition, and re-pull the hammer, you are considered to have made all the preparations.
In the gap prepared by the first row, the soldiers in the second row could stand in place and shoot quickly at the Houjin army.
Under the strict training of the Huaxia Training Department and relevant departments, the soldiers were completely able to ignore the roar of the huge guns on their heads, accurately reload the ammunition in their rifles, and provide continuous fire support for the whole army.
The infantry battalion had about 120 flintlock musketeers per company, and because the muskets they used fired much faster than the pre-loaded arquebuses of the era, their ranks were thicker for the sake of continuous firepower. Also, the flintlock musketeers are very close to each other.
However, today, in the face of the impact of the superior forces of the Jin army, in order not to be surrounded by the enemy, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion slowly opened up a little distance, and the soldiers narrowed the thickness of the formation by a certain amount.
At this moment, a long line of smoke in the infantry formation, with a very strong sense of rhythm, continued to shoot out, as if a wriggling monster was constantly swallowing clouds and spitting fog.
With the retirement of time, there were more and more Houjin skirmishers in front of the infantry array, and these stragglers continued to pull the bowstring and shoot at the Huaxia flintlock musketeers, and the heavy armor-piercing arrows roared towards the Huaxia army with the sound of breaking wind.
Even if they are wearing combat vests and bulletproof steel plate guards, the face doors that must be lifted when shooting, and the lower body that cannot be protected are still exposed to the enemy's sight, and the screams of the flintlock musketeers continue to sound in the enemy's feather arrow shots.
Houjin's stragglers were also uncomfortable, and in the continuous volley of rifle fire, black and red bloody arrows fell.
Of course, because the skirmishers are individuals, and because they have greater autonomy and can choose their own cover, they are not easy to hit, so the more firepower of the Chinese infantry flintlock musketeers is still concentrated on the infantry array of the large army of the Houjin Army.
Large forces of the enemy, facing the place where the flintlock musketeers were aiming, suffered an extremely serious blow. In the Houjin army, soldiers with spears in their hands constantly rolled and fell to the ground, and then could not get up again.
The two sides were still facing each other behind the marching array, all of them left the wounded and corpses all on the ground, and the battlefield was filled with the screams of those who had been shot, like hell.
