The infantry corps is a regular force and its training is very strict.
The first-level troops train for no less than two hours a day. They have shooting training every day. Their marksmanship is very accurate. The fifty groups quickly ran across the open field.
During this period, only a few unlucky ones were shot in the neck by bows and arrows and fell to the ground.
Most of the people rushed into the moat and entered a blind spot for shooting.
It's very dry here, it hasn't rained for hundreds of years, and the moats are dry.
The city walls and moats also collapsed intermittently.
"Use the pole to push Yang Dacheng and Ge Sandan up." Cui Youcai, the team leader, shouted loudly.
This is the main way for infantry troops to climb the city. They use poles to push a person forward and upward. The person then runs quickly with his legs on the upright city wall and can climb the wall directly to the crenellations.
After all, wooden poles are much lighter than ladders. Carrying a ladder would be too slow and you would be exposed to enemy fire for too long.
The trench is five meters high from the gap above. It is still difficult to climb up.
There is a group outside the trench, with three shields in front to protect against arrows, and five musketeers behind them who are responsible for suppressing the large archers of the Heshuo Special Department at the gap.
Bang bang bang! The lead bullets hit the rammed earth wall, smoke flew everywhere, and the loess shattered and splashed.
The Heshuote people did not dare to show their heads at all.
In the city trench, another group used a pole to support the person in front of them, ran a few steps, and pushed the person directly onto the upright city wall.
Yang Dacheng held the small crossbar in front of the support pole with his right arm and armpit, and ran with his legs on the upright city wall.
The four brothers below worked hard together, and he suddenly ran to the gap.
Hatu watched as these Ming soldiers used poles to push people up. He didn't care about the musketeers outside. He drew out his scimitar and stepped out. He raised the scimitar and slashed at Yang Dacheng head-on.
He saw the advantage. Yang Dacheng's right hand was holding the pole, otherwise it would have fallen. There was no way to draw his sword to resist his slashing. He could kill this man with one slash.
In the light of the calcium carbide fire, Yang Dacheng quickly pulled out the double-barreled flintlock musket inserted in his belt with his left hand, pointed it at Hatu's belly, and fired.
Bang! A gunshot.
A large-caliber 15mm lead bullet penetrated his stomach directly.
The leather armor had no effect at all. The huge impact shocked him, and he suddenly lost strength in his hands. Then he fell forward. With a plop, he fell into the trench.
The dust flew up from the ground and spread everywhere. His body twisted and twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
Yang Dacheng took out the grenade and pulled the fuse, waited for a few seconds, and then threw it in.
He quickly got close to the city wall, like a gecko, to prevent himself from being blown up.
With a bang, the grenade exploded.
Dust from the bombing on the city wall flew into the sky, and smoke, dust and flames spurted out from the gaps.
Several Heshuote people were blown away by the explosion. For a while, wailing was everywhere on the city wall, and there were still people running around in panic, trying to escape, and it was chaos.
A layer of dust fell on Yang Dacheng's head. He shook his head quickly to shake off the dust.
Pushed upwards by the strong poles of the four brothers below, he jumped up and jumped into the gap in the city wall. Then the second and third were pushed down by the poles of others, and they kicked quickly with their feet.
City wall, jumped up.
They entered the city wall and immediately took out their double-barreled flintlock muskets with their left hands and opened fire on the enemy.
The enemy's troops are also insufficient, and the city walls are sparsely populated.
Several people quickly beat several people nearby to death.
Within ten meters, handguns are easier to use than bows and arrows. They are fast and accurate.
"Sir, the infantry army seems to be more elite than before. One battalion was raised in one attack." Lin Yueru put down the Type 65 telescope and said.
At this time, the entire battalion basically went up. The elite soldiers in the front were pushed up by poles, and those in the back climbed up by putting down rope ladders. They were all very smooth, and they could climb walls as smoothly as climbing trees.
Yang Fan put down the hot tea and said: "Now our regular army can crush any army one on one. After all, our physical training, firearms training, tactical training, and equipment are already far ahead of the world."
Front."
It's no wonder that Yang Fan is such a jerk, the Yang family's army is a regular professional soldier.
They are well-trained, and each of them has received tens of thousands of rounds of musket shooting training. Attacking and defending the city is a key training subject.
Especially for musket shooting, I often shoot more than five hundred rounds in one training session, which makes me almost vomit.
I've practiced stabbing to the point where I've developed muscle reactions. It's almost all conditioned reflexes.
A battalion of cavalry from the Jia Ding Regiment galloped and patrolled around the perimeter, blocking the battlefield to prevent the Heshuotes from escaping.
After the first battalion entered, the sound of firecrackers, grenades, and the sound of the other party's Rumi guns were heard. The Hoshuotes also had hundreds of muskets, all of which were good muskets from the Western Regions. Many Rumi guns were produced in the Ottoman Empire.
Heavy matchlock gun.
These muskets fired accurately and fiercely.
The two sides exchanged fierce fire, and the sound of gunfire was like exploding beans.
However, the aluminum alloy shield can completely block their muskets. Its performance is similar to the bulletproof shield used by later SWAT police.
They relied on their shields to block bows, arrows and muskets, then quickly approached and fired back with flintlock rifles. The opponent's shields could not block such rifles, which were more powerful than Brown Spey's flintlock rifles. They were shot and fell to the ground.
As the city walls and streets gradually fell, hundreds of remaining soldiers retreated into a courtyard to fight stubbornly.
"Push the three-pounder over and blow open the courtyard wall." Furukawa shouted loudly.
Soon three three-pound guns with water sleeves were pushed over. This kind of artillery was sent down to the battalion level.
The three-pounder cannon is very light, weighing only more than 400 kilograms. It uses solid spherical bullets or shotgun shells. It is the main heavy weapon of the infantry at the battalion level. Each infantry battalion has three three-pounder cannons.
At present, the three-pounder gun is about to be eliminated because of the more advanced black powder mortar, which is lighter.
The 60mm mortar has a range of more than 600 meters, the 90mm mortar has a range of more than one thousand meters, and the 120mm mortar has a range of more than two thousand meters. The weights are only 40 kilograms, 100 kilograms, and 230 kilograms respectively.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the combination of British 79 rifles, mortars, and infantry artillery will be supplemented in a few years. Because the Northwest War has begun. A hundred thousand troops can only
The war was fought using existing Napoleonic cannons cast in bronze.
The three-pounder guns at the battalion level, the six-pounder guns at the regiment level, and the 12-pounder guns at the division level are the main artillery. In field marches, the 12-pounder guns are the heaviest and can maneuver with the troops during field marches.
artillery.
No matter how big the cannon is, there are only mortar cannons that are only available in the military. That kind of cannon has a short range and high trajectory, but the shells are very huge. It is a siege cannon. There are explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, and solid bombs.
Boom boom boom, with the bombardment of the spherical solid bullets of the three-pounder, holes were shot in the courtyard wall. There was a burst of dust and nothing could be seen.
The first squadron of the first battalion immediately held up their shields and got in through the big hole made by the shell. The sound of fighting was immediately heard from inside. The sound of swords blocking, screams, and roars came from the courtyard.
Now Yang Fan's system has replaced all the waist knives of the first-level troops with Type 65 sabers before the war. This cavalry sword with a guard is the pinnacle of cold weapons, both in design and in actual combat. Absorb
The pros and cons of knives have been considered in cavalry battles for thousands of years.
Now all the infantry's waist knives have been replaced by this kind of cavalry saber. The materials of these sabers are all made of the barrel steel of the tanks that were destroyed on the battlefields acquired by the idiots in Africa and the Middle East. Almost the entire wilderness of North Africa and the Middle East
Abandoned tanks and combat vehicle gun barrels were collected and sent to Yang Fan.
Now Yang Fan's cold weapons are the best in the world. In blocking, as long as the weapons of both sides block, they will cut off the opponent's tattered weapons and then chop off his head.
Before the end of an hour of darkness, the yard finally calmed down and the battle was over.
Furukawa cursed and walked out of the yard, took out his arms and took a look. Fortunately, he arrived three minutes early and didn't have to go home to pick up the child.
Now, all battalion-level officers are issued with pocket watches so that they can keep the same time during combat.
