Chapter 467: Agent
While the special service platoon of the cavalry battalion left the array and went in the direction of the enemy in front to meet it, on the other side, the commander of the cavalry battalion personally approached the brigade headquarters to coordinate the movement of the cavalry battalion's special service platoon.
The special platoon of the cavalry battalion also set off at the same time, advancing towards the enemy on the opposite side.
The soldiers of the special service platoon spread out very much on the way forward, and the distance between each person was at least about 4 or 5 meters.
Of course, the distance is so far, and it is not just because of the skirmish line, in the past, when the Huaxia Army was fighting, the ordinary skirmish line discharged would not exceed a distance of 3 meters.
Today, it was made so far in order to free up the firing range for the infantry artillery in the rear, and not to block the firing path of the shells. There is a rule in the army that does not need to be said, people cannot stand in the way of the warhead, that is completely looking for death.
The infantry guns in the array were still shooting at the Houjin army on the opposite side, and the soldiers of the special service platoon carefully avoided the firing range of the infantry guns, and the shells continued to pass not far from them.
The soldiers of the two spy platoons did not stop until they reached a place of about 120 meters, and at this time, the Houjin army on the opposite side was about 200 meters away.
The commander of the cavalry battalion's special service platoon took a closer look and found that the enemy seemed to have only a part of the cotton armor.
Moreover, under the constant blows of the four infantry guns on their side, the enemy's formation was already a little confused.
In the formation of the enemy army, there were some places where the personnel were crowded into a dense pile. In some places, there are two or three big cats and kittens, and some soldiers of the Houjin Army are shouting in panic.
At this time, the Houjin army had been stopped by the scattered array, the officers were sorting out the formation, and some of the officers were shouting and scolding loudly in anger, which sounded like they were in Chinese.
"It's another group of traitors who have forgotten their ancestors!" The commander of the special service platoon cursed with some disdain in his heart, and immediately issued a loud order, and all 28 soldiers raised their pump-action rifles in their hands.
"Put!" At the same time as issuing the order, the commander also pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand.
The 28-bar pump-action rifle erupted in fierce flames, and the incomplete unburned propellant formed a cloud of smoke at the muzzle position.
They had just started firing on their side when they heard a series of crackling explosions suddenly coming from the opposite side, and white smoke rose from the front of the Houjin army.
The commander of the special service platoon was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the place of his comrades, only to find that with his own special service platoon, there were only 28 fighters left, and none of them were injured.
There was a rapid and terrible shout from the thick smoke on the opposite side, which was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the situation clearly, and at this moment even the commander of the special service platoon himself did not know how many enemies he had hit with a volley on his side.
From their point of view, they could only see fiery red muzzle flames flickering continuously, coming from the high ground and the direction of the flames, and even some Houjin musketeers were firing at the sky.
The commander of the special service platoon saw the enemy's bearish appearance, although he kept thinking about several dense rapid salvos in his heart, and destroyed as many enemies here as possible.
But in the end, looking at the remaining number of people around him, who were just over half of the full number, he still gave up this tempting idea and decided to hide for a while.
"Spread out and find cover!"
The 28 fighters dispersed as ordered, looking for their own cover.
It's a pity that this is now a battlefield that has been chosen by the side, a rare alluvial plain, and there is nothing to cover at all.
So, the sapper shovels carried by the fighters worked, and everyone dug up individual bunkers.
This one-man bunker is not a foxhole or even a trench, but a kind of temporary bunker that can be dug out quickly and fought alone. Hurry up, you can make a prototype in 5 minutes.
The most important thing is that now there is no heavy firepower on the opposite side, there is no strong bow, there is no need to dig too fine things, and a rudimentary form can well ensure that the soldiers can survive the musket salvo of the Jin army on the opposite side.
While digging, the soldiers did not forget to shoot a bullet at the Houjin army on the opposite side from time to time.
While digging individual bunkers and shooting, the speed of this shooting must be much slower than usual, but because the soldiers are equipped with pump-action rifles in their hands, the loading speed is extremely fast, even the slowest rate of fire will not be slower than the Houjin army on the opposite side.
When digging pits and shooting, from time to time, some lead fell on the ground around the soldiers.
Judging from these projectiles, the lead bullets fired by the Houjin Tatar musket did not seem to have much lethality at a distance of more than 100 meters, but the soldiers of the special service platoon were still a little nervous by the warheads that fell around them from time to time.
Some fighters could not suppress this intimidating atmosphere, and when they could not stand it anymore, they would stand up and shoot at the opposite side, and then crouch down again to dig a pit, which was also an effective means of relieving tension.
As time passed, after the Houjin Army fired several volleys and failed to hit any of the soldiers of the special service platoon, everyone's hearts slowly calmed down.
In this way, the relaxed soldiers found that it was now like the usual shooting and trench drills and training, repeating step by step and action step by step.
This situation, which is similar to the exercise, or even more relaxed, has allowed them to completely enter a state of inertia, showing excellent results that can only be achieved on the training ground.
Whether it is the shooting accuracy, the rate of fire, or the speed of digging individual bunkers, they are all surprisingly high.
This is really an incredible phenomenon, because what is refined on the training ground in peacetime can complete thirty percent of it on the battlefield, even if it is very strong.
As for the complete achievement on the training ground, this is almost completely impossible to achieve on the battlefield for these soldiers who have been in the army for about two years.
This situation is really the combat state that any officer dreams of. It's all about being available but not seeking.
On the other side of the Tianyou Army, during this time, there was also a continuous explosion, and the cavalry battalion special service platoon in charge of that side also began to shoot at the Houjin soldiers.
Under their obstruction, Kong Youde's Tianyou Army's front also stopped moving, and stood quietly in place and began to shoot.
In short, the musketeers on both sides are now fighting very lively.
