Chapter 224: Finally Came in Handy

Outside the No. 3 post, the commander of the 9th company tried to calm the wheezing sound caused by the long-distance load-bearing run, and ordered loudly, "Hurry up, everyone, all enter the outpost, hurry." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Top shooters go up to the watchtower, take care to protect yourself."

"The hand guns of each platoon have been gathered and temporarily formed into units directly under the company."

"Bazookas, don't shoot waves, pay attention to my orders."

"The members of each cavalry squad will join the defensive sequence as infantry for the time being. As a reserve, always ready to fill gaps. ”

"Infantry guns, both infantry guns are all aimed at the south, where the enemy is probably the quickest to arrive."

After less than a quarter of an hour of intensive preparation, a sentry's warning voice came from the watchtower: "Company commander, there is enemy cavalry in the south." There were about a thousand people. ”

"It's finally here." The commander of the 9th company tried hard to adjust his mood and cheered everyone up, "As long as you hold on for a few minutes, reinforcements will arrive, and with our firepower, we will definitely be able to hold this time." ”

After that, the commander of the 9th company turned around and went up to the A-shaped guard tower.

The tower is more than 3 meters high, and the highest observation deck is protected by sandbags, which is very safe.

The commander of the 9th company took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the sentry's guidance, and the image was no longer as clear as when he first got it.

Because the process is not up to standard, the durability of the telescope lens is not very high, and after more than half a year of use, the lens has appeared scratches to varying degrees. However, the telescope is still one of the luxury goods, and before it is completely scrapped, Xuan Jun does not plan to issue new telescopes below.

Through the monoculars in his hand, the commander of the 9th company clearly saw the appearance and dress of the incoming enemy, all of whom were Jurchens, and there were no servants.

"I really look at my 200 people."

With a sigh of emotion, the commander of the 9th company immediately ordered, "Special marksman, wait for the enemy to reach 400 meters, and open fire freely." ”

The second brigade was expanded from some veterans of the army that attacked the Japanese state last year, and it can be regarded as rich in combat experience, and there are quite a lot of top marksmen in the team, and there are five in the 9th Company alone.

If we add the 7 special marksmen of the reconnaissance squad and the 3 special marksmen of the ranger squad, there are a total of 4 special marksmen in the cavalry squad of the 4 teams, and there are already 19 soldiers who can kill and wound the enemy at a distance of 400 meters.

The enemy should be very aware of the number of people in the outpost, more than 1,000 people did not care at all, and came directly on horseback, without the slightest intention of stopping.

A "bang" shot rang out, and an enemy soldier who rushed to the front on the opposite side was smashed in the chest and fell to the ground. There is no nonsense between the two sides, and it is a confrontation directly.

This was followed by a series of gunshots, as well as the sound of copper bullet casings being shaken off and falling to the ground.

The enemy's horses quickly broke through to a distance of 300 meters, and the top marksmen in the team joined the total, the gunfire became more intense, and the enemy fell faster.

However, the four-year rifle did not have the damn shell throwing stiff, and it needed to shake the body of the gun itself to shake out the shells that had been fired, so the rate of fire was greatly limited, and although the rate of fire of 10 second rounds was far beyond that of the front-loading rifle, it was not enough to stop the cavalry troops who were far outnumbered by themselves.

After the enemy army entered 200 meters, some of the enemy troops dismounted and began to throw a rain of arrows, which caused a certain amount of pressure on the Xuan soldiers, and the remaining enemy troops continued to charge.

The company commander carefully stared at the marking line that had been set up long ago, and when he saw that the enemy had crossed the 150-meter hurdle, he immediately shouted, "One shot." ”

The commander of the No. 1 infantry gun, who had been prepared for a long time, pulled the running bolt, and after a loud bang, the shrapnel wrapped in cloth rushed out of the muzzle, and after flying for a certain distance, the cloth wrapped outside was reopened, and hundreds of small projectiles scattered and separated, and then continued to rush forward, and finally met the enemy troops who were still charging the enemy, and the enemy cavalry in the front two rows fell down in unison.

After fighting with the Xuan army for several months, the Houjin army also knew a little about the methods of the Xuan army, and had long known that the Xuan army had a small cannon that could shoot scattered bullets, and this kind of loss was also expected, and this loss was not too huge for a team of thousands of people. Therefore, the Houjin cavalry did not panic and continued to charge forward.

However, there is more than one infantry gun in the outpost, along with the "second artillery release." With a loud shout, the enemy again fell two rows of men and horses, but the enemy had already rushed to within 120 meters.

At this distance, the archery masters who had been hiding behind in the enemy army finally came out and began to shoot at Xuanjun.

Although these people are not many in number, they can constantly shoot arrows into the shooting hole in the middle of the fence, killing and injuring the Xuan army inside.

The soldiers immediately shifted their targets and fired at this wave of enemy troops, limiting the firepower of the enemy's charging cavalry and weakening at once.

Just when the cavalry of the Houjin Army wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to advance again, the bazooka fighters, who had been hidden and had not been launched, stood up from several tricky angles, and the bazooka composed of 4 doors and 120 rockets ignited instantly.

480 rockets flew out one after another, like machine guns, inflicting huge casualties and shocking on the advancing enemy troops.

At this distance, all the remaining cavalry of the enemy army dismounted, drove the horses back to the rear, and then began to bend over, dodging the rockets of the Xuan army as much as possible, and began to move forward slowly, and from time to time suddenly got up and shot an arrow.

The enemy no longer charges blatantly, but also knows how to find cover to cover each other's advance, and at this moment, the killing speed of the Xuan army to the enemy is greatly reduced, and the two sides are shooting at each other, constantly approaching.

At this time, the hand cannon came in handy, after loading the grenade modified with a defensive grenade, the hand cannon began to aim at the enemy bunkers where more than 10 people were gathered together, and constantly bombarded.

The grenade of the hand cannon flies in the form of a parabola, even if the enemy is hiding in the pit, the Xuan army can also hit the grenade into it, nearly half a catty of black powder, wrapped in more than 200 small steel balls, the killing and injury of the enemy who has consumption is absolutely devastating.

However, the enemy just resisted, and while constantly firing at the Xuan army, he did not advance, and the two sides continued to exchange casualties, and in less than 2 minutes, the enemy had come to a place 50 meters in front of the fence.

At this distance, all the enemy troops were able to shoot arrows into the shooting holes of the fence, and the Xuan army was already suppressed at the front fence and could not raise their heads.

The enemy saw that the lead bullets fired by the Xuan army were getting more and more thin, and naturally knew what the situation was, and with a horn sounding, the rest of the Houjin army all stood up and rushed to the No. 3 post with a shout.

The commander of the 9th company had been hiding on the guard tower to observe the situation of the enemy, and when he saw that the enemy began to charge, he finally blew the whistle that had been in place for a long time.

Several sappers near the fence heard the whistle and were shaken and immediately pulled the pull fuse in their hands.

"Boom ······"

With five loud bangs in a row, five "broadswords" placed 40 meters in front of the fence exploded at the same time, and thousands of small steel balls and cast iron fragments scattered 120 degrees in front and 60 degrees in the rear.

The mines, which were not used last time in Fort One, have finally come in handy here.
