"Charge!" The soldiers of the Gemelin Kingdom held their weapons and broke into a black mass and rushed towards the defense line of the Wright Kingdom.
The smoke from the shell explosion had not completely dissipated, and before the soldiers in the trenches had time to prepare to face the enemy, they saw densely packed enemy troops approaching their own trenches.
"Bang!" A soldier holding a K1 rifle aimed at an approaching enemy and skillfully pulled the trigger.
A gunshot was heard immediately, and due to the confusion, he had no way of seeing whether his shot really hit the target.
He had no choice but to retreat into the trench and reload his rifle - this was a complicated process. Compared with bolt-action rifles, the reloading process of needle guns was actually too slow.
After firing, the soldier must clean the chamber and load a new bullet into his rifle. Then in the chaos, he must be careful about the long firing pin in the chamber of his rifle.
Accident.
This is also one of the main reasons why needle guns were quickly eliminated: they were too expensive, cumbersome to load, and bullets were difficult to store. In short, apart from being more advanced than flintlock guns, they had almost no merit.
With great difficulty, the soldier from the Wright Kingdom finally completed the reloading, picked up his rifle, and aimed it at the enemy in the distance again.
Those enemies were much closer, and he could even see that the weapons in their hands were almost the same as his.
He pulled the trigger and then retracted his neck. He was not even interested in seeing whether he had hit the opponent.
The battle has lasted for two days. The opponent has no way to attack at night, so the battle has been very fierce for two consecutive days.
There were no messy special tactics in this era, and infantry-artillery coordination tactics had not yet been developed, so it was just simply "artillery bombarded, infantry charged, after the infantry charged, the artillery bombarded, after the artillery bombarded the infantry charged..."
However, due to its absolutely superior military strength, the Gemelin Kingdom is still close to success. As they invest more and more troops, the defense of the Leyte Kingdom becomes more and more stretched.
The only Maxim machine gun in the legion had malfunctioned. After massacring nearly 500 people, the internal parts of this machine gun seemed to be broken, so the only trump card of the entire legion was completely withdrawn from the battle.
What's left is only a true competition of willpower. In the two days of fighting on Wright's side, more than 100 people have been killed, and more than 200 people were injured and unable to continue fighting.
This is already one-fifth of the total number of troops. If artillery and other personnel are excluded, almost one-third of the entire infantry regiment's front-line combat troops have withdrawn from the battle.
Until this moment, the army has not collapsed entirely because there are many interns from Datang Military Academy supporting this army.
As the backbone of the army, they usually serve as the captains of the infantry squad. Under the influence of their daily training, the combat effectiveness of this unit is also quite tenacious.
It's a pity that when there is no difference in weapons between the two sides, the battle will inevitably become fierce.
Soon, the enemy troops approached the trenches, and the two sides began a fierce melee. The sound of gunfire, accompanied by shouts of killing, echoed throughout the position.
"Fix the bayonet!" Seeing that the enemy troops were very close, an intern of the Tang Dynasty military cadet wearing a bright yellow military uniform took out the sword from his waist and ordered loudly.
An officer from the Wright Kingdom was holding a revolver, looked at the young officer, and persuaded him: "Son! You are just here for an internship. There is no need to take risks here. Leave here immediately and bring a message to the commander.
Say we have tried our best!"
The young trainee officer held a long sword in one hand and a pistol in the other. He smiled and said, "I'm here for an internship, but doesn't the internship mean participating in combat? Doesn't it count as a soldier of the Kingdom of Wright?"
A soldier inserted a bayonet into the muzzle of his gun and continued to persuade: "But there is really no need for you to stick here!"
"Don't tell me, I almost forgot, I'm here for an internship, haha. I have never regarded you as an outsider, why don't you regard me as one of your own?" The young officer sniffed and looked towards
He pointed out the direction the enemy was coming from: "Stop talking nonsense and get ready to fight!"
The soldier who had already inserted his bayonet continued to say anxiously: "That's not it, sir, we are just..."
The young man picked up his pistol, pointed in the direction where the enemy was charging and shouted loudly: "It's nothing but... It's a pity that my teacher taught me to be brave and strong, but he didn't teach me to flinch! If I don't
You regard me as my family, so... how dare you ask you to support me and live and die with me?"
"Sir!" All the soldiers gathered around him were moved by his words, and everyone clenched the steel guns in their hands.
The young officer glanced at the official officer of the Wright Kingdom beside him, nodded to him, and continued to shout loudly: "All soldiers! Listen to my orders! No matter what, block the gap in the front line of defense! Kill the enemy.
Go back! Protect the civilians behind you! Protect our... motherland!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed excitedly.
"Fix the bayonet!" "Fix the bayonet!" Not far away, the inspired junior officers issued the order one by one.
The soldiers took out the bayonets from their waists, inserted them under the muzzle of the gun, and fixed the buckle. The shining blade looked extremely dazzling in the sun.
"I will not tell you 'charge me', I will shout 'charge me', now, charge me! Soldiers!" The young officer raised his sword high and was the first to rush out of the trench.
"God bless Wright!" All nearby soldiers from the Wright Kingdom jumped out of the trenches with their bayonets in their hands.
"God bless the Kingdom of Wright!" For a moment, shouts resounded throughout the sky.
"Bang!" Holding a pistol in one hand and a long sword in the other, the young officer took the lead and rushed into the crowd of enemy soldiers who were already very close.
He swung his long sword to split the opponent's bayonet blade, raised his pistol and shot the opponent head-on.
In Datang Military Academy, instructors do not rigidly teach students to fight each other, but teach students to make good use of all the weapons in their hands to gain an advantage.
The other party obviously did not expect that the young officer actually held a pistol in his hand, and a ball of blood bloomed on his forehead before he fell on his back.
Another soldier shoulder to shoulder with the soldier from the Gemelin Kingdom became obviously panicked. He turned his gun and was shot down by a second shot.
The soldiers of the Wright Kingdom following the trainee officers of the Datang Military Academy were also full of momentum. They moved forward vigorously, and their fighting skills clearly surpassed their opponents.
With shouts like a flash crash, they thrust out the weapons in their hands, killing their opponents or dying together with them.
Casualties rose to an uncontrollable level in an instant. This kind of flesh-and-blood fighting was cruel and unreasonable. On the chaotic battlefield, it was not surprising that any accidents would occur.
In a state of red-eyed killing, it is very likely that the opponent will give up defense and choose to die with the enemy in front of him.
As a result, soldiers from the Gemelin Kingdom fell, and soldiers from the Wright Kingdom died. Countless corpses soon lay on this position.
"Bang!" A Gemelin soldier mixed in the crowd picked up the K2 lever rifle in his hand and shot and killed a Wright Kingdom soldier who was assassinating him.
Then he discovered that he had just killed another enemy in front of him, an extremely brave young officer from the Wright Kingdom.
His index finger, ring finger and little finger pressed forward, then suddenly returned back, and the lever rifle was loaded. Then he picked up the gun again and aimed at the young officer wearing a bright yellow military uniform.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot sounded, and the young trainee officer from the Datang Military Academy, who was preparing to fight the oncoming enemy, felt something hit his abdomen.
He lowered his head and saw blood seeping out of the bright yellow military uniform. Some of it had flowed out of the bullet holes in the clothes, and flowed along the texture of the clothes onto the buttons and belt.
"Damn it!" He staggered and was hit by the charging enemy. He staggered and tried to steady himself, but a wave of dizziness hit him.
Another enemy rushed over. At this time, the young officer was already kneeling on one knee. He used his long sword as a crutch and leaned on the ground. He raised his other hand and fired a shot, emptying the last bullet in the revolver.
.
The charging enemy screamed and fell to the ground. The young trainee officer lowered his arm holding the pistol and breathed in the fishy air.
"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and a stream of blood spurted out from the young officer's shoulder. His body was no longer under any control, and he fell straight down, hitting the body underneath him.
More soldiers from the Wright Kingdom fell to the ground after being shot, and more lever rifle gunners from the Gemelin Kingdom rushed forward.
The battle between the two sides was still stalemate, with gunshots ringing out from time to time. More soldiers from the Kingdom of Wright joined in the hand-to-hand combat. The gunmen from the Kingdom of Gemelin who had run out of bullets were stabbed to death by the furious soldiers from the Kingdom of Wright with bayonets.
More than an hour later, there was a burst of cheers from the position, and the flagpole hanging the flag of King Wright was waved back and forth, and the royal flag on it fluttered on the position.
After a fierce and fierce battle, the position was still in the hands of the Wright Kingdom, and the attack of the Gemelin Kingdom was repelled again.
However, this time more soldiers of the Wright Kingdom fell, and they were unable to see the victory, although this victory was gained with their lives.
