"Solid bullets, one shot, test firing."

"Ready."

"Put."

In the waving of the small red flag, the 40mm caliber rifled infantry cannon suddenly sprayed a flame, and a solid pointed steel projectile was thrown out by the fierce propellant, and flew straight towards the chest wall built by the Jin military base on the opposite side.

Originally, it was very tenacious in front of the 18.5mm single-headed bullet, but the earthen wall that kept splashing a little bit of dust was fragile in front of the 40mm solid bullet, and it collapsed in an instant, and the dust flew and filled an area of tens of meters.

The cannonball barely slowed down in the flesh and blood of the Goryeo Gunners, and rushed to the second chest wall again, successfully penetrating the past, and killing several more Goryeo Gunners, plus a Jurchen Tartar as a warlord, before losing kinetic energy and falling to the ground.

In the blood stain of the ground, a deformed steel warhead rolled twice, burning the blood, and after making a few "zizi" sounds, it completely stopped moving in the frightened eyes of the surrounding Houjin army.

This infantry gun, which was adapted from the 40mm direct-fire gun on a naval battleship, was lightweight, and was equipped with a primary barrel recoil.

Of course, it's not that kind of hydraulic barrel backseat device, and the kingdom's current technical conditions can't do that kind of sealed can.

Therefore, this infantry gun uses a spring-style primary recoil device, and, because of the lack of spring metal formula and workmanship, the spring must be replaced every 300 rounds fired.

If it's so troublesome, why equip it?

That must be because this infantry gun has other advantages.

The first and most important point is that the total weight of this 40mm long-barreled direct-fire gun is only 200 catties.

In the mountains, even if you add a base amount of ammunition, you can easily be carried by a second- or third-generation dragon horse.

If there are not enough dragons, the cannon can even be broken into 4 parts (plus an ammo box is 5 parts) and then carried by 5 donkeys.

Even, if there is not enough livestock, an artillery crew can lean on the shoulder and carry it to the battlefield.

In the plains, it is even simpler, and it can be transported by two ordinary Mongolian horses.

Under the premise of lightness, this 40mm infantry gun has a second huge advantage, that is, it is powerful.

With a 30-fold barrel and a thickened and lengthened chamber, the cannonballs it fired had enough acceleration to penetrate any earthen walls of this era, even those of the Korean Kingdom.

The unification of rifled guns, far beyond the range advantage of smoothbore guns, and far beyond the shooting accuracy of smoothbore guns, also makes this infantry gun, in many cases, even able to play a cameo role as an anti-artillery gun to suppress and counterattack the enemy's artillery.

Lightweight, powerful, high accuracy, long range, wide use, with so many advantages, it is difficult to maintain, it is not a disadvantage, not to mention, the ordnance factory is also in continuous research and improvement, I can't say when, can greatly increase the service life of this infantry gun.

Therefore, the grassroots troops below, this kind of artillery is extremely sought-after, and everyone is rushing to ask for it.

The Rangers had their own artillery, but they didn't need it in the previous raid, so they didn't carry it.

At present, this artillery group was borrowed by the 1502nd Battalion from the Marine Corps garrison on Ganghwa Island when it landed.

As a member of the garrison, this infantry artillery group did not have many opportunities to participate in actual combat, so everyone cherished this combat meeting with the greatest ability.

Seeing that this first shell had made a good start, everyone in the artillery crew was very excited.

However, in addition to being happy, everyone did not forget about work.

The artillery commander suppressed his excitement and gave the order: "The high ground remains unchanged, turn 5 degrees to the left, solid shells, three bursts, prepare." ”

The first gunner quickly turned the handle of the steering machine, and the second gunner opened the bolt and took a shell from the hand of the porter and stuffed it into the chamber.

"Ready."

The artillery commander waved the small red flag again, "Put." There was a burst of applause.

The cannon was fired rapidly, and then the barrel shrank down the gun mount, and then, under the pressure of the re-entry spring tube under the barrel, it returned to its original position.

The muzzle of the gun is only slightly shaky, and when firing at the target point, this shaking can deviate greatly, resulting in the failure to hit the target.

However, now the shooting is at a large position of several thousand people on the opposite side, and when facing an area several hundred meters long and covering several tens of meters in front and back, this little deviation just omits the next adjustment of the direction machine.

The gunner then fired another shell, which, as everyone thought, did not hit the target he had just fired repeatedly, but made a large hole again in a slightly off-the-way position.

And then the third shot, again the same.

In the direction of the Houjin army, at the time of the first test firing, it had already caused a riot among the enemy troops.

It was only because of the effective ammunition pressure of the officers of the various teams that there was no great unrest.

And these three consecutive rapid fires completely aroused the dissatisfaction that had been accumulated since this afternoon among those Korean gunners in the Houjin army, and there was a turmoil in the entire enemy position.

The Overseers, who were hiding in the rear, quickly intervened and began to suppress them.

The infantry artillery group, ignoring the things on the other side, adjusted the angle of the shelling again, and fired another round of three rapid fires.

And the soldiers of the 1601 battalion were not idle, although they were a little far away from the enemy, and even the top marksmen could not kill the enemy. However, there is not only individual sniper training in the army, but also group shooting in the Huaxia Army, which is also one of the key assessment items.

The commander of the 1601 battalion laughed with satisfaction after looking at the tragic situation on the other side, and teased, "You also have today." He ordered his warriors to gather together and form a phalanx.

Then at his whistle, the 117 surviving reconnaissance battalion fighters quickly opened the ruler.

After adjusting the distance of the ruler to 500 meters, everyone raised their rifles together at an angle towards the sky.

Then, with a sharp whistle from the battalion commander, everyone pulled the trigger of the pump-action rifle together.

More than 100 18.5mm caliber single-headed bullets flew in an arc into the enemy position exposed in front of the muzzle of the gun that had just been smashed by the infantry artillery in a dense formation, knocking down more than a dozen Houjin troops who had gathered together.

Another whistle sounded, and after the uniform snapping of the sleeve, there was the clanging of bullet casings all over the ground.

Each whistle was an action, and under the command of the whistle, the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion fired a second salvo, a third salvo, ······.

The infantry artillery kept smashing open the chest wall, and the reconnaissance battalion continued to carry out over-the-horizon projectiles, although they had not communicated, but they cooperated with each other, and the Houjin army, which had just been suppressed by the warlords, made a commotion again.

The leaders of the Houjin Tartars were helpless, and in the midst of the commotion, they did not even dare to give the order to retreat.

Retreating at this time is a big collapse, and it is completely a meritorious service to the Huaxia Army.

At least wait for the riots to subside, and be able to cover each other before retreating.

However, the superiority of the Huaxia Army's weapons was too great, and the continuous fire of the extremely fast infantry guns and pump-action rifles made the Houjin Army unable to quell the riots at all.

In the end, the supreme commander of this Houjin army, a Jia Lae Zhen, was completely angry, only to see him draw his sword, slash to death a fleeing Korean bird gunner, and then, constantly roaring, "Rush up, rush up, kill all the Han dogs on the opposite side, and take that cannon over." ”
