There are tens of thousands of people, and there are no boundaries.
What does it feel like when thousands of people and horses rush towards you?
If it were an ordinary person, it would be very likely that he would faint from being frightened.
But in the eyes of Wang Fengshan, commander of the 8th Battalion of the 36th Regiment of the Ninth Division, it was nothing.
Veterans of the National Defense Force have long been accustomed to such scenes.
And most of the time, the National Defense Forces use less to fight more and win.
Even though there are only more than a thousand people in their battalion, Wang Fengshan is very confident that he will not let an enemy rush through.
He is like this, and so is the Eighth Battalion from top to bottom.
Everyone stood quietly at their posts and silently loaded ammunition into their muskets.
Among the soldiers standing in the second and third rows, Yu Xia even took chocolates out of his pockets and put them in his mouth.
Eating a piece of chocolate during a fierce battle can replenish your physical strength very well. And chewing things in your mouth can also relieve stress.
This is something only veterans know from experience.
Directly in front of them, the Eight Banners infantry led by Shuosei were rushing toward them despite overwhelming artillery fire.
Bagala, the most proud and brave among the Qing troops, was no better than the leaves in the autumn wind at this moment.
Personal bravery is nothing in the face of the steel storm.
They have all their abilities, but they have nowhere to put them to use.
The National Defense Forces on the opposite side were both far and near, as if they could be touched easily, but yet they were out of reach.
Under the artillery fire, Qing soldiers were killed one by one, and the flowing blood moistened this barren land.
In desperation, they had to spread out even more.
As for whether we can maintain the formation, it no longer matters. If everyone is dead, what else can we use to fight against the National Defense Forces?
The long-range weapons of the Qing army were also desperately transported forward, and then hit the National Defense Forces.
The soldiers of the National Defense Force would naturally be injured and killed in such a blow, but everyone remained indifferent and stood still, only waiting for orders attentively.
One thousand meters.
Rocket launchers and mortars also began to join the attack sequence.
The rocket launchers developed by the National Defense Force are actually completely different from those of later generations.
At the very least, even after exhausting all Zuo Mengeng’s knowledge, he still couldn’t get solid fuel propellant.
The kinetic energy of this kind of rocket launcher uses solid gunpowder plus gasoline, so it has the ability to continue propulsion.
But it is quite lacking in terms of range.
The furthest can only reach two thousand meters.
As for accuracy, it all depends on luck.
Therefore, Yu Lichun set the attack distance of the rocket launcher to one thousand meters to maximize the coverage effect of the rocket launcher.
The broad flat ground was unobstructed and the figures of the Qing soldiers were clearly visible. Rockets came down one after another. Although they tried hard to avoid them, they had little effect.
Some soldiers raised their shields in despair, but what could they block?
Fortunately, the reloading of the rocket launcher was very slow. After one round of strikes, this devastating whistling sound finally disappeared temporarily.
Shuo Sai jumped up from the ground and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Charge forward, cut the barbed wire, and fight hand to hand!"
Although his voice was loud, his figure was very obscene. At the same time, he paid careful attention to the opposite side, for fear that someone would take a cold shot at him.
Through the Korean War, everyone in the Qing army understood that the National Defense Forces did not respect martial ethics.
Whoever has bright armor on the Qing army is more likely to be shot.
But those with fine and bright armor must be generals.
For this reason, Huang Taiji once learned from the painful experience and reformed the clothing of the Qing army. Make the generals more ordinary so that they can blend in among the soldiers and not be easily targeted.
But soon afterwards, I had no choice but to change it back.
Just because although the soldiers of the Qing army were brave and good at fighting, they were all stupid and ignorant. Once generals become like everyone else, they lose their backbone. On the battlefield, he was like a headless fly, not knowing what to do.
There was even a general around who issued orders, but they were all stunned and didn't know who this person was.
If Zuo Mengeng knew about the situation of the Qing army, he would definitely sneer at him.
An uneducated army that dares to play this trick is simply seeking death.
Only an army like the National Defense Force, which is literate from top to bottom, can allow its generals to dress simply on the battlefield. It can be recognized by soldiers and not easily discovered by the enemy.
As for the difference...
Of course, it is a mark that only the National Defense Forces themselves can recognize.
After experiencing multiple attacks from artillery, rocket launchers, and mortars, Shuosei led the soldiers who narrowly escaped death and finally rushed to the barbed wire fence.
Some soldiers took out iron pliers and rushed forward, trying to open the passage for the entire army.
Wang Fengshan saw this and immediately raised his hands.
The messenger standing behind him raised the two small red flags in his hands into the air.
Wang Fengshan's hand fell, and the two small red flags quickly crossed and waved.
The five company commanders in the first row saw the signal and blew their whistles at the same time.
The sharp, devilish sound of the whistle activated the muskets in the soldiers' hands.
A row of gunshots sounded like fried beans, and like a heavy rain, they swept away the Qing soldiers in front of the barbed wire fence.
The distance between the two sides is about 115 meters.
Of course, this distance cannot be said to be far, but it cannot be said to be close either.
At least except for a few powerful archers in the Qing army, everyone else looked down upon the National Defense Forces.
But at this distance, the muskets in the hands of the National Defense Forces can be deadly weapons as long as they are slightly aimed.
Of course, after fighting for so long, the Qing army had not thought of ways to deal with the National Defense Forces' gun formation.
While many soldiers fell, the shield soldiers of the Qing army rushed up and then formed a group.
The large shields are connected in a line, like a wall. At least the IDF muskets cannot penetrate them.
Seeing this, Wang Fengshan immediately asked the messenger to convey the signal to the artillery unit.
The mortar company not far behind quickly adjusted its target and hit the shield array one by one.
No matter how strong the shield is, it can only withstand bullets, but it can do nothing against the explosion of cannonballs.
In particular, the mortar shells fell in the air and passed through the shield's defense.
The Qing army had no choice but to send people to block it immediately after another shield soldier was killed.
Some people were so whimsical that they actually raised their shields to the sky, hoping to stop the falling cannonballs in this way.
As you can imagine, the powerful impact of the explosion made these people act the stupidest fools.
But no matter what, the effect of mortar bombing is always limited.
More and more Qing soldiers rushed forward, cutting the barbed wire fence with large pliers, carrying the Qing army's ardent hope of survival.
In the hustle and bustle, some barbed wire fences were cut open.
Before the Qing army could be happy, many Scissorhands were killed.
The people next to me did not dare to neglect, picked up the pliers and continued to operate.
But is their desperate effort really useful?
There were eight layers of barbed wire, and the Ninth Division frantically entangled the barbed wires together.
】
To completely break through the barbed wire formation, the Qing army did not know how much it would cost.
