New Ming Empire mixed in America

The explosion accompanied by fire quickly flooded the monitoring screen, causing the observer in front of the screen to scream in surprise, and his body leaned back and almost sat on the ground.

"Switch Clairvoyance No. 3, quick!"

There was urgency in the voice of the leader of the demolition team. He urgently wanted to know the situation of the enemy's artillery.

Soon, the scene of the artillery position appeared on the screen, but because the camera was too far away, it was not very clear.

But this was enough. The artillery position of the 9th Infantry Regiment on the screen was in a mess, with blown solid bullets scattered everywhere.

From time to time, the ignited propellant powder was still smoldering.

The artillery position is located on a relatively high slope of this battlefield. Because it is on the outskirts of the forest, there are a lot of weeds and rocks here.

The artillery positions located here can effectively attack the soldiers of the Wehrmacht.

But all these beautiful ideas were destroyed by explosives disguised as trees or rocks.

The few surviving artillerymen got up and looked around, finding that the artillery position seemed to have been pricked by the explosion just now.

The gun carriage became fragmented, several wheels rolled to the bottom of the slope, and several twisted twelve-pounder gun barrels were lying on the ground slowly emitting blue smoke.

The surviving artillerymen had no idea what had hit them.

You must know that the explosion caused by black powder is definitely not so shocking. What is happening in front of them is beyond the understanding of the artillerymen.

Specialized explosives would not appear until Nobel blew up his brother, but that was already after 1864.

The nitroglycerin explosive of this period was still very unstable and would explode if moved slightly.

Therefore, Li Mingqi's fertilizer explosive can be said to be the most advanced explosive in the world, bar none.

Joseph, who was leading the soldiers forward, was also startled by the explosion, and waited until he saw the artillery position being lifted into the sky.

The first reaction was not to cause an attack, but to cause an explosion due to improper operation of the artillery.

Nowadays, artillerymen's salaries are high not only because of their technical skills, but also because of their danger.

Especially when firing explosive shells, it's almost like gambling on your life. It's like putting a bullet in a revolver and pulling the trigger to your head to gamble on luck.

Apparently the unlucky artillerymen had worse luck this time.

Although the artillery is finished, there is no way out now.

Once he gives the order to retreat, the morale of the army will definitely drop to the lowest level. If the enemy takes the opportunity to rush up, it will definitely be a disaster.

"Don't stop, keep going, keep going!"

Riding a horse, Joseph led the messengers back and forth in the queue, constantly repeating the order to move forward.

Soon, the formation, which had been somewhat chaotic due to the sudden explosion of the artillery position, reorganized itself and continued to advance to the beat of drums.

The distance between the two sides was less than 150 meters. Joseph believed that as long as they advanced a certain distance, the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment would use volleys to let those Eastern monkeys know what fighting is.

When the distance between the two sides was 130 meters, he shouted to the soldiers: "Look at the lines of those Eastern monkeys. Their formation is chaotic. Keep moving forward."

When the distance between the two sides was 110 meters, he shouted: "Haha, those monkeys have started to retreat. Guys, work harder, I think it will take just one salvo to beat them in a while."

Within a hundred meters of the distance between the two sides, he shouted: "Keep moving forward twenty meters and try to end the battle with two salvos!"

When the distance between the two sides was eighty meters, Joseph asked the 9th Infantry Regiment to stop and prepare to start a salvo.

The company commanders in the front row shouted orders to their companies:

"Everyone is here, start raising your guns!"

The well-trained soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment quickly raised their loaded rifles and pointed them at the New Ming Empire Defense Forces.

Seeing the Orientals who started to commotion due to their actions of raising their guns, the officers of each company breathed a sigh of relief.

They stand in the front row, and if they say they are not afraid, it would be an absolute lie. But if the enemy they encounter is extremely unbearable, they will definitely die laughing.

Now the Easterners opposite them are classified by these people as being unbearable.

Because they actually saw those Easterners in the front row start to turn around and run back.

What is this? This is simply a flying dragon riding on the face. Tell me, how can I lose this wave?

"Aim!" the officer excitedly issued the second order.

Next, you just need to wait until all the soldiers cock their hammers, and then you can fire a salvo.

Huh? What is that?

Just when the company commanders of the Ninth Infantry Regiment in the front row were about to give the order to fire, they saw those Easterners disappear before their eyes.

That’s right, it just disappears!

There is a trench behind the Wehrmacht soldiers. Not only the trench, but also a makeshift machine gun bunker made of cement boards.

A dozen hand-operated rotating rifles were placed in these machine gun bunkers, with their muzzles pointed steadily at the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment.

Just now, the soldiers of the National Defense Force formed a line to block the trench behind them. After the opponent raised their guns, the soldiers could just turn around and jump in.

The Wehrmacht soldiers hiding in the trench now only have their heads in steel helmets and a rifle exposed.

Joseph was also stunned by the operation of the National Defense Force soldiers. He was a veteran of the Mexican-American War.

But no matter how old the soldier is, he has never seen such an operation of lying down before starting a battle.

"The front row squats down and re-aims. They have no way to reload bullets quickly after shooting. The advantage is on our side."

Joseph responded quickly and once again led the messengers to run and shout among the queues.

"After the first round of shooting, advance thirty meters, and then we will charge after another round of shooting!"

There is no other way, now I can only bite the bullet and take a round of enemy bullets.

But it doesn't matter. At a distance of eighty meters, and with the opponent's current sparse front line, the lethality is absolutely limited.

As long as his soldiers advance within fifty meters, relying on the intensive firepower advantage, the opponent will be beaten into a sieve even if he is lying on the ground.

As for those unlucky ones standing in the front row who are bound to be hit by a volley of fire later... God bless them.

"Shoot!" Both sides seemed to have a clear understanding of each other and issued the order to fire at the same time.

In the smoke, the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment fired a volley, and then loaded bullets as they walked to the sound of drums.

On the Wehrmacht side, only rifles started firing, trying to get all the soldiers to take the time to fire one or two shots and feel the atmosphere on the battlefield.

Gunshots started to sound one after another from the side of the Wehrmacht soldiers. Unlike the uniform volleys fired by the opponent, the gunshots of the Wehrmacht's free fire seemed very chaotic.

As the military band played "Yankee Song", soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment marched against a hail of bullets.

Several companions would fall with every step. In just a dozen steps, the first row of the 9th Infantry Regiment had become much thinner.
