One hundred and twenty-six people broke out of the trench.
The distance between the trenches between the two armies is about one mile. At the first 100 meters, Lei San did not need to lie on the ground to advance. But when he entered the 400 meters distance of the opposite trench, he was within the range of a sniper rifle. The Japanese
Although the number of sniper rifles was small, one after another still threatened the soldiers of the Tiger Army. One hundred and twenty-six people crawled on the ground and slowly crawled towards the shogunate's position.
In front of Raizo is the position of Matsudaira Zeye, the shogunate's ashigaru general.
The soldiers of the shogunate army hid in the holes at the bottom of the trench to avoid artillery shells. At first, no one noticed that the Tiger and Ben troops began to charge into the formation.
It wasn't until Lei San advanced 150 meters and entered the range of the sniper rifle that the officers of the shogunate army discovered that the Tiger and Ben troops were pressing forward. The flag was waved, and the shogunate army ordered the soldiers on the front line to stand up and shoot to stop them.
enemy.
The distance was about 350 meters. Songping Zeye stretched out his head to observe the enemy situation here.
Lei San's soldiers have been waiting for this moment.
The Jin-O style rifle is breech-loaded and can be loaded and fired even while lying on the ground. The infantry here advance alternately, with half advancing and the other half raising their guns to cover. In other words, there are already more than a hundred rifles.
The rifle was aimed at the edge of the trench dozens of meters ahead.
As soon as Matsudaira Zeye stretched out his head, four rifles opened fire on him.
However, the distance was too far and the head was too small, so the bullet missed Matsudaira Zeye. The bullet hit the soil at the edge of the trench, causing a few splashes of soil to pop out.
Why did all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty lie down and shoot?
Songping Zeye looked at the breech-loading soldiers who were shooting at him, and his face turned pale with shock. Did the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty not need to load ammunition? What is the reason for this?
Could it be that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stood and loaded their bullets, and then crawled forward on their stomachs?
However, this was not the time to delve into this point. Seeing more rifles about to shoot at him, Matsudaira Zeye quickly stretched his head back, not daring to show it again.
The charge of more than 100 people here was discovered by Matsudaira Zeye. At this time, Matsudaira Zeye had already withdrawn the main force. There were only six shogunate soldiers within 30 feet around him. How could he stop the pressing Tiger Ben?
military?
The shogunate army had already killed more than 10,000 people, and its morale could be said to be very low. Once the trenches were occupied, they would probably collapse. Matsudaira Zeye secretly wanted to stop these enemies rushing into the battle. He quickly ordered the ashigaru captain next to him to stay behind.
Troops came up for reinforcements.
Sixty people from two Ashigaru teams were mobilized and stood in the 30-foot trench to the left and right of Matsudaira Zeye.
Songping Zeye could not mobilize more people, because the artillery fire of the Huben Army would bomb the trench at any time.
But General Ashigaru soon discovered that the sixty men were no match for the Ming people three hundred meters away.
Not only could the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty reload while lying down, but they could also reload extremely quickly. They could complete a reload in five or six seconds. However, to complete a shot, the shogunate army who used black powder needed 20 seconds. The Tiger Army had a hundred
The shooting density of twenty-six people can be said to be eight times that of sixty shogunate troops.
In other words, if any shogunate here has finally loaded a bullet and stretched out his head to shoot, there will be seven or eight rifles over there that have finished loading and are searching for targets in the trench.
Matsudaira Zeye was stunned by the rate of fire of the new rifles of the Tiger Ben Army. He had always thought that the Mini rifles newly equipped by the Shogunate Army were very advanced. But in front of the Tsuio rifle, the Mini rifles in the hands of Japanese iron gunners seemed like
It was just a fire stick, completely suppressed.
Matsudaira Zeye watched an iron gunner stand up straight with a rifle. Before he started shooting, he was shot through the head with a pop. The bullet penetrated the armor on the iron gunner's hand, and blood spattered on his forehead.
As soon as the water splashed, the iron gunner fell into the ditch without saying a word.
As soon as the iron gunner fell down, the iron gunner next to him stood up, and his nose was shot through again with a pop. He screamed and fell in the trench, roaring like a slaughtered pig.
Songping Zeye secretly thought something was wrong. He quickly raised his head and looked outside, and found that more than a hundred soldiers of the Tiger Army had climbed to a distance of 200 meters.
If these more than a hundred people were not stopped, they would be rushed into the trench by the Tiger Army. Songping Zeye roared loudly and asked the iron gunners around him to fire at full speed.
However, the rate of fire of the breech-loading gun is too fast. As soon as the iron gunner next to Matsudaira Zeye sticks out his head, he will face seven or eight breech-loading gunners waiting there. One person versus seven or eight people, the outcome is predictable.
One after another, the iron gunners were shot down by Lei San's infantry, their brains were opened, and they died miserably in the thirty-foot-wide trench.
Matsudaira Zeye secretly said that something was wrong, and that scattering like this would lead to death.
He roared loudly and asked the fifty remaining iron gunners to give up scattering and start firing volleys. After everyone loaded their bullets, they stuck their heads out of the trench and fired volleys. In this way, even if the breech-loading gun was loaded quickly,
, we can only wait for the shogunate troops to load their bullets before engaging in crossfire.
However, Matsudaira Zeye's tactics were changed too late. By the time the iron gunners loaded their bullets and fired a salvo, the soldiers of the Tiger Army on the opposite side had already advanced forty feet away and were about to charge forward.
Songping Zeye secretly stuck his head out of the trench to take a look, and his face turned red with shock as he looked at the soldiers of the Tiger Army who were getting closer and closer.
If the first line trenches of the shogunate army were occupied and the Ming people hid in the first line trenches and fired at the left and right trenches and the second line trenches, it would be a devastating blow to the morale of the shogunate army.
It was too late for Matsudaira Zeye to think more. The first problem now was to stop the more than 100 people who were rushing into the formation. He subconsciously shouted to the ashigaru captain beside him: "Move up five more ashigaru teams and stop the Mingguo people."
!”
One hundred and fifty iron gunners ran up from the trench behind and began to shoot at the Tiger Army lying down more than 100 meters away.
Two hundred iron gunners guarded the trench and finally stopped the soldiers of the Tiger Army.
The ground on the battlefield was not absolutely flat. Lei San's soldiers lay down behind a small tulong and fired at two hundred shogunate troops, but they were indistinguishable.
At this time, the two sides were evenly matched. The soldiers on both sides were afraid that they would be shot if they stuck their heads out for too long, so they aimed hastily. While the soldiers on one side were shooting, the soldiers on the other side were often hiding behind the bunker.
The hit rate plummeted.
Even if you fire hundreds of bullets, you may not be able to hit an enemy.
The shogunate army started another volley, and nearly two hundred people stretched out their heads and fired randomly. Lei San's soldiers lowered their heads and hid, but no one was hit.
When the gunshots on the opposite side stopped, Lei San raised his head and glanced at the opposite side. He saw two hundred heads on the opposite side quickly hiding in the trench, and sneered.
In daily training, Lei San has faced such scenes countless times. The primary purpose of a breech-loading gun assault is to attract the enemy to deploy dense personnel in the trench, rather than to actually occupy the enemy's trench under a hail of bullets.
Lei San raised the small launch tube on his back and shot the flare into the sky.
A dazzling small aluminum powder flare was shot into the sky, which was the signal to call for artillery support.
Within ten seconds after the signal flare flew into the sky, more than 200 mortars aimed at the shogunate trench in front of Lei San and began a devastating carpet bombing.
