Alien Empire Total War
Chapter 59: fighting
The reinforcements from Orva City cannot arrive in a short time, and the second and third divisions of the rebels must arrive before the friendly forces arrive.
"Line infantry, advance!"
With the rumbling of cannons resounding through the sky, the line infantry of the 7th Brigade launched an attack on the rebels in a neat pace.
One after another black cannonballs whizzed past their heads, and after passing through beautiful arcs, they flew towards the rebel front line. When they flew to the top of the rebel soldiers, the cannonballs exploded suddenly, and countless shrapnel were scattered like goddesses. The soldiers below were shrouded in, dead and wounded.
Some cannonballs with too long leads smashed into the crowd. The leads were still burning, but they were trampled by the panicked soldiers before they burned out, turning them into a harmless dud.
Facing the fierce shelling of the enemy army, everyone was numb, and they stared blankly at the roaring shells and the enemy soldiers who were approaching them. With the sound of the bugle, he stepped forward and faced the enemy with his rifle.
It's not that they don't want to run away. In the past few days, too many people have tried to escape, but they were all killed on the spot by the ruthless officers and supervisors. In order to boost morale, the division commander ordered that all those who bravely advance and kill the enemy will be rewarded, but If you dare to escape, not only will you be shot and killed on the spot, but your family will also be implicated.
Most of the people who joined the rebels were farmers from poor backgrounds and those who were ordinary people in the market. Even if they were not for the so-called bonus, they had to march forward bravely for their own family. After all, it is better to die in the enemy's gunfire than to die in the hands of the supervising team. among.
Moreover, they also noticed that as long as the distance between themselves and the enemy infantry is less than 200 meters, the enemy artillery will stop firing in order to prevent accidental injury. It's safe - security here only means not being threatened by artillery fire.
The rebel officers also knew that the soldiers' shooting accuracy was not high, so even after entering a distance of 200 meters, they still did not stop, but kept their rifles and finally stopped when they reached a distance of about 100 meters.
"All stand at attention and raise your guns!"
The officers shouted: "Aim for—"
"Shoot!"
clap clap-
The rebels made a preemptive strike, and immediately raised a white gunpowder in front of their uneven army formation. The 7th Brigade line infantry who were still on the move fell down dozens of people, but they were not affected. The soldiers just stepped over. The corpse of a fallen comrade fills his place, and then moves on.
The rebels entered a state of free fire after a round of salvos. Even a well-trained soldier could not make every round of firing in this row, let alone the rebels in front of him.
The line infantry of the Seventh Brigade did not fight back in a hurry. The officers from the military academy kept in mind the rule of "shooting within 100 meters" in the infantry code of the former kingdom, and it was only after about 50 meters that they finally ordered to stop advancing. .
As they advanced, the rebels were firing at the line infantry, and as they got closer, so did the number of fallen soldiers.
Even so, the line infantrymen of the Seventh Brigade have not wavered. They have been baptized by several wars and have become reliable veterans, no longer new recruits when they just entered Devon Province.
When they reached a distance of about fifty meters, they stopped together under the shout of the officer and stood in place.
"Raise the aim—"
"First row, shoot!"
clap clap-
Another burst of gunpowder smoke rose, and the loaded rebel line collapsed immediately. The soldiers in the first row who fired the bullets did not check their results. The comrades behind them and the soldiers in the second row raised their guns and shot at the rebels shrouded in thin gunpowder smoke.
The accuracy of the rifle at a distance of 50 meters has been significantly improved. The rebel line that suffered two salvos was immediately disrupted. The death of the surrounding comrades deepened the fear in the hearts of the survivors, but they did not turn to escape, but trembled. Proceed to continue reloading the rifle and fire back at the enemy.
In the rebel line, a soldier's chest was hit by a lead bullet flying from the front, and the burst of blood splattered the face of a young soldier beside him. He did not raise his hand to wipe the blood on his face, but Blind-eyed and brain-empty, the lead bullet and gunpowder in the barrel were compacted with the pounding tube, and then the rifle was raised and the trigger was pulled at the enemy on the opposite side——
The next second, the rifle whose muzzle was blocked by the smashing tube exploded violently, and the flying parts also scratched the soldier standing beside him. Covering his face with his hands, he knelt on the ground and let out a hysterical scream of terror.
Under tremendous pressure ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there are countless soldiers who have misloaded like this soldier, they either forgot to pull the tamper out of the muzzle, or forgot to put the lead bullet in the muzzle , only made a sound, not to mention the shaking of the hand caused the gunpowder to be released more and less.
In this era when paper-wrapped ammunition has not been developed, when loading rifles with ammunition, it is all based on the experience and feel of the soldiers, and there is no uniform standard for the amount of gunpowder to be loaded.
The platoon fire tactics used by the soldiers of the Seventh Brigade could form a dense firepower network in a short period of time. After three rounds of salvos, the rebel lines became fragmented. In order to prevent them from collapsing, the commander had to order the first front line. The soldiers retreated and were replaced by soldiers from the second front.
After the retreat horn sounded, the rebel soldiers who were close to collapse turned around and retreated to both sides, retreating from the flanks of the rear front line to the rear. At this moment, the infantry artillery on both sides roared again, dark and solid The bullets roared towards the infantry fronts of the two armies, killing and wounding the soldiers on the orbital path.
All of this was taken into his eyes by Charlie from his monocular. Standing at the back, he put down the telescope and turned to look at his staff officer, Pa Siller, and asked, "How is the friendly offensive?"
"The attack is still going on, but the rebels have repelled several rounds of their charges. Even if our friendly troops are equipped with the same equipment as the enemy, their combat effectiveness is still not as good as the enemy's." Sear replied.
There is nothing wrong with the words of Staff Siller. The two sides fighting on this southern front can be said to be rotten to each other. Only the side with better performance can win. Before the seventh brigade came, the National Army was the most powerful of the two armies. rotten army.
And now, even with the help of the Seventh Brigade, they are still like mud that can't support the wall, and they can't even beat the rebels on the opposite side that are being beaten by Charlie's troops.
