At this moment, Chen Xin looked at the defense line in front of him, and he suddenly felt a sense of pride, and at the same time, he also faintly felt an excited emotion, which was a completely different feeling from when he went to the battlefield in the past.

Although he had long been accustomed to the battlefield, this time it was completely different, and his heart seemed to be very eager to fight.

"It seems that I am going to the battlefield to fight, and I am addicted! I'm no longer a general now, so I still need to manage a big country, so I still have to try to restrain this emotion. ”

Chen Xin shook his head, the command flag of the 1st Brigade of Zakdan was in front, the root position of an acute angle defensive line. Chen Xin walked up the slope quickly to the top of the wall.

What appeared in front of him was still a scene filled with gunsmoke.

For so many years, as long as the Huaxia Army fought against the enemy, it would definitely be such a blurry appearance of smoke and dust obscuring the vision.

At least, until the kingdom's army is fully equipped with smokeless gunpowder, this scene of gunpowder will still be an unchangeable feature of the Huaxia army.

Although the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere and there were some choking people, Chen Xin had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and he could still see the situation in the distance, which was like an ocean of Houjin army array.

In front of the earthen wall, there were hundreds of shield carts, many of which had been beaten to pieces, and all kinds of parts were scattered all over the ground, and there were corpses and wood, baskets, and sand used to fill the pits.

In the middle of the line formed by the shield carts, there were countless coats that were filling the pits and other potholes dug in front of the defense line, and because they were very crowded, many people even ran to the front of the shield carts.

"Let the defenders on the hill to the west send two platoons of troops to the foot of the hill to the east, use long-range shooting to contain the right flank of the Tartars, and the second line of defense behind them, urgently dispatch two platoons of special agents to the side of the trench and use pump-action rifles to kill and wound the enemy's living forces······"

Zachdan was issuing orders, suddenly, turning his head, he found Chen Xin's arrival, and hurriedly turned around to salute his chest, Chen Xin waved his hand to stop his movements and said: "You take care of your own business, don't worry about me, I'll see the enemy situation first." ”

Zakdan knew that Chen Xin's style and temper were the same, and that they were close brothers who had a close relationship, so he was no longer polite, turned around, and continued to give orders to the heralds.

At this moment, a dull cannon sound came from the flank direction, and a thick smoke suddenly erupted from the middle of the shield cart that the Houjin army came out of.

Chen Xinhe's commanders in various parts of the position raised their binoculars one after another to look over there, and in everyone's field of vision, a small-caliber artillery piece actually appeared, which followed the shield cart of the Houjin army to the front of the front.

It seems that the Tartars are preparing to put the treasure on the body of this small cannon, and want to use this small cannon to suppress the firepower on the side of the earthen wall of the Huaxia Army.

"This is what was mentioned in the previous intelligence, the small-caliber infantry cannon made by the Houjin Army?" Chen Xin said in a low voice, "Hehe, it's really interesting, our things have also been copied, but looking at the level, it's still a little bit worse!" ”

The appearance of the small-caliber artillery of Houjin suddenly felt the pressure on the Chinese defenders on the side of the rammed earth wall, and no one had time to echo Chen Xin's words at this moment, and the big guys were busy organizing defense.

In terms of Houjin, it is also like ants moving, lined up in a dense formation, urging the coaters to push the shield cart forward.

Behind them, there are more coats that are filling up the pits and small potholes and other defenses.

This wave of Houjin coaters has lost a lot of people and filled the potholes within a distance of dozens of steps in front, but the signal for the Houjin side to retreat has still not sounded.

There was already a clever Bao Yi's thoughts fluttering, could it be that the "masters" in the back wanted to let them all die in front, so that their corpses could be used to pave the way for the army to attack?

It's just that after this thought flickered slightly, they were immediately thrown out of the clouds by these coats, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The infantry artillery on both sides continued to bombard each other, and the black iron balls with a whistling sound smashed one shield car after another, and countless coatings were bombarded in the shelling, and the flesh and blood that were bombarded flew sideways.

But even in this case, the Huaxia Army still couldn't completely stop those coats from approaching step by step.

The soldiers of the Houjin Army, who were in charge of supervising the battle in the back, were holding weapons to force the coats forward, and when they found that they wanted to retreat, or even slowed down, they shot all of them without mercy.

The artillery company that Chen Xin brought with the ship this time had just been strengthened to this section of the defensive line.

The artillerymen pushed the field guns up to the rammed earth wall, and on the gun positions reserved for the earthen wall, they were quickly ready to fire, and the four field guns began to let out their own roars one after another with the sound of commands.

At this time, the reinforcement artillery of other defensive lines also rushed over from the wide passage behind, and in less than 10 minutes, the artillery density on this defensive line doubled.

Because of the lack of production capacity of the ordnance factory, ammunition such as solid iron ball shells were all outsourced to civilian factories, and after stimulating the production capacity of the whole country, the output of artillery shells of the Huaxia Army was no longer as stretched as in the previous two years.

However, after all, it was just artillery shells produced by civilian factories, and even if the quantity was sufficient, the quality had declined significantly, and many of the shells simply did not meet the standards for which they were originally designed.

Fortunately, this is only the pain of industrial adjustment, as long as supervision and training are strengthened, it will be fine in a few years.

Moreover, it is not that these shells are not unusable now, but they are not accurate when shooting at long distances, and as long as the Huaxia Army puts the enemy closer to a distance of about 500 meters in the current defensive operation, this problem can be temporarily solved.

Under the supervision system of the kingdom, even if it is an inferior product, it will not be too bad, even if it is the worst of the worst shells, if it is fired on a smoothbore gun, it still has good accuracy at a distance of 500 meters.

Sturdy hardwood, when fired at by artillery at a distance of 500 meters, already causes casualties, and if this number is pushed forward a little further, it is almost like paper paste at a distance of about 200 meters, as it is now.
