Daming pirates

After shooting, the musketeer could only wait patiently for the smoke outside the perforation to dissipate, so that he could carefully observe the shooting. After he saw the situation on the stern of the enemy ship clearly, he showed a smile.

Satisfied, he withdrew the flintlock from the firing hole and began to take out the ammunition and load it again.

The captain of the Spanish ship was currently instructing the sailors on the ship to retreat quickly to increase the distance from the fort, reduce the area of ​​the ship that was hit by bombs, and reduce the losses of the ship. He did not realize that he was being targeted by the enemy's musketeers.

, and even if he knew someone was aiming a musket at him, he wouldn't feel nervous. After all, it was still two to three hundred meters away from the enemy's fort, and no musket could hit him accurately.

Just when he was busy yelling and commanding to turn around, he suddenly felt a sudden shock in his right chest, as if he had been punched hard, almost knocking him down on the spot, and then there was a sound from his right chest.

A sharp pain.

He then lowered his head to see if he had been hit by something. When he lowered his head to look, he saw a round hole appeared in the clothes on his right chest. Something penetrated his clothes and penetrated into his body.

In his chest, he realized that he had been hit by a musket bullet.

And his first thought was not that the enemy had hit him, but he immediately thought that someone on his ship took advantage of the chaos and shot at him, so he quickly raised his head to search for the person who sneaked up on him on the deck in front of him, but

After scanning around, not even a sailor with a musket was found.

When he lowered his head to look, the area around the hole in the clothes on his chest had turned dark black, and blood was seeping out from the wounds under the clothes, soaking his clothes. Until this moment, he had never thought that this was

The enemy hit him with a musket, but the severe pain still made him bend down and shouted to an attendant beside him: "Someone shot at me, I'm injured! Find the bastard who sneaked up on me! Call the doctor!"

!”

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength and fell softly on the deck of the poop. It was only then that his attendants discovered that their captain had fallen, so they hurriedly stepped forward to lift him.

When they arrived in the cabin, someone immediately shouted, calling the ship's doctor to come over and rescue the captain.

The musketeer who shot the captain of the enemy ship was a sharpshooter among the Sea Wolf soldiers, and the flintlock gun he held was not the musket that Sea Wolf had previously equipped in large quantities, but a freshwater gun.

This is the Langya Type II rifled flintlock rifle that has just been put into production recently, referred to as the Langya rifle.

This kind of gun has not been put into mass production yet, because the simple machine tool used for rifling still has many minor problems and needs to be continuously improved, so it is only temporarily produced in small batches. Yu Xiaotian

Once when he came to Keelung Fort, when he got off the ship, he asked his men to lift a box from the ship.

In that box, there were five newly manufactured Wolf Fang rifles, and hundreds of rounds of Mini bullets. They were sent to Keelung Fort and handed over to Blackhead and the others so that they could try out this new gun.

.

After Heitou and Sun Baoqiang tried it out, they were very shocked by the capabilities of this new gun. Yu Xiaotian gave them a detailed introduction to the current use of this gun.

Therefore, these new guns were given to the first-class marksmen carefully selected from the three Keelung Fort warrior musketeers.

These three first-class shooters are all very talented shooters who were selected during daily training and assessment. They also like to practice shooting hard, so they became the first batch of snipers in Keelung Fort, and the other two Wolf Fang rifles

, was temporarily saved and prepared for use as a backup gun.

After these three people got this kind of Wolf Fang rifle, once they tried it, they immediately praised its surname. They all liked it so much that they couldn't put it down and started training with them every day.

The effective range of this gun is several times higher than the smoothbore guns they used before, and the way of aiming is also very different. They mainly practice shooting at long-distance targets within 200 to 300 meters.

Beyond three hundred meters, the current Wolf Fang rifle is still weak and its accuracy is not very good. Therefore, for the time being, the effective range can only be controlled within three hundred meters, which can basically guarantee the effective killing of human-sized living targets.

However, due to problems with the barrel material, the effective service life of the current barrel of this Wolf Fang rifle does not exceed 200 rounds, or even as low as 100 rounds.

After the first thirty bullets are fired, the rifling wears out quickly. After more than thirty rounds, the accuracy will begin to decline and the range will gradually decrease.

Therefore, these snipers usually do not dare to conduct live ammunition shooting in large quantities. They can only conduct live ammunition shooting once or twice a day, and more often do aiming training.

However, long-term aiming training can still effectively improve shooting accuracy. Later generations of Plas have the habit of saving training costs. When soldiers train to shoot, they spend most of their time on aiming training. The number of real live-fire shots

rare.

There are even some logistics soldiers who have fired no more than ten rounds of ammunition in the army when they return home after serving as soldiers for several years.

Now, due to the problem of the barrel material, the barrel life is too short. If you shoot too much, the barrel will soon turn into a smoothbore gun. Therefore, the shooter can only try to save the life of the barrel and reduce the number of live ammunition firings.

Intense aim training to improve shooting skills.

However, they can still use ordinary Nanyue-style flintlock guns for some auxiliary shooting training. When it comes to consuming ammunition, Yu Xiaotian will not be stingy, especially for these excellent shooters, he will not hesitate to use more ammunition.

Let them shoot more accurately.

Even when muskets are engaged in normal combat, they often use three-stage strikes. There are two options for three-stage strikes.

One is to divide the musketeers into three groups and stand in three rows. The three rows of musketeers fire side by side. Every time a round is fired, they retreat and replace the musketeers from the next row to come forward and continue firing to maintain firepower.

The continuous surname prevents the enemy from approaching their formation.

The other is to select some of the musketeers with higher shooting skills at a ratio of two to one. This good shooter will serve as a full-time shooter, and the remaining two people will serve as assistant shooters, standing behind him to provide him with

Load the ammunition. After loading the ammunition, hand the gun to a professional shooter. Repeat this to maintain the firepower. The advantage is that all the shooters are concentrated, and the hit rate of such concentrated fire shooting will be higher.

At present, when the Sea Wolf Soldiers are in combat, the musketeers mostly use the three-stage strike method to shoot. Both three-stage strike methods are used. In field battles, the first method is used more frequently, while in defensive battles, the first method is more commonly used.

, the second shooting method is often used.

The musketeer who shot down the Spanish captain in the fort today was one of the three snipers. The other two snipers were sent to the other two forts.

Until now, these three snipers have never had the opportunity to fire with this new Wolf Fang rifle. Today they finally got the opportunity. From the beginning of the artillery battle, they lay down in the fort and chose one.

The quietest place, the location least affected by gunpowder smoke, served as their sniper position, firing at enemy ships approaching the fort.

At this time, each of them had gained something, and they all knocked down two or three enemies on the enemy's ship. However, their precise aiming and shooting did not attract enough attention from the enemy during the artillery battle. Even a Spanish sailor was knocked down.

However, few people realized that it was the members of Sea Wolf who were shooting with muskets. Most of them thought that the injuries were caused by shell fragments.

As this was the first time such rifled rifles were used in actual combat, their effect was submerged in the roar of the cannons. Few people noticed their existence. Even the Sea Wolf tribe itself, few people cared about these three.

What are the snipers doing?

Only three observers can truly know the power of these three snipers.

In order to ensure the use of snipers, we must not only protect them, but also help them search for targets, and have someone supervise their results to save them from falsely reporting their results.

The main thing the observer does now is to observe the hit effect for them, and then use a charcoal bar to draw a line on the wall for each effective hit, and finally tally the results.

The Spanish ship that was hit with concentrated firepower hurriedly withdrew from the battle after receiving a barrage of shells and the captain being shot by the "rebels" for no apparent reason.

And Anthony still doesn't know that the captain of the ship has already died in the cabin. He is still very angry when he looks at the ship that has broken away from the array and withdrawn from the battle. This is war time, although that ship

The ship is a private armed merchant ship, but since it has been drafted, it must obey his command.

And this ship actually withdrew from the battle after being beaten by the enemy's concentrated firepower. It was obviously a violation of military discipline. Anthony was very angry, and the consequences were serious. He decided to go back immediately after the battle was over today.

The captain of the ship was arrested and detained, and when he returned to Manila, he was handed over to the Congress for trial.

Today, after the Spaniards shortened the distance of the artillery attack, the hit rate of the artillery has been obviously improved. The artillery shells began to land on the Heping Island fort in a dense manner. The bricks and stones of the Heping Island fort were flying everywhere, and the fort was constantly hit by the shells.

The middle is shaking.

Everyone who is staying in the fort now is very grateful to Yu Xiaotian, because when they first came here, Yu Xiaotian asked them to use the strongest way to build these forts. At first they thought it was a bit awkward.

To make a fuss out of a molehill, this fort was built too solidly. Not only did it take a lot of work, but it also took a lot of materials. It was too hard to build.

But now no one has this idea. Everyone just thinks that the fort is not strong enough and is afraid that the fort will be destroyed by the Spaniards. Once it is destroyed, they will all be bored.

It's in here.

(Special thanks to Wandering Jiangnan, Yizuiren, Fengxing456, gzg1972, Huluhulu and other old brothers for their tips. I have not had the energy to pay attention to this in the past two days. I only focused on seeing a doctor for fever, and basically everyone at home has been abandoned.

It’s down! This time the flu is coming hard!)
