I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The formation density of the charge of the independent army on the left is very different from that of the main force of the Chinese army.

They all rush forward as a class.

This is a decision made based on the actual situation. With their individual military qualities, they actually have no idea what they should do on the chaotic battlefield. They must have a grassroots officer to take command.

Coupled with their insufficient firepower, a few soldiers cannot play a big role on the battlefield, and their strength is too scattered.

Therefore, their minimum operational unit must be a squad.

In this way, their goals are much larger.

Federal soldiers fired at them. Even if they didn't hit the target, they had a higher chance of hitting the ones next to them.

The federal soldiers who defended the main attack of the Chinese army did not have such benefits.

They must aim very accurately, otherwise the bullet will be like scratching the lottery ticket. If you can hit one, it is equivalent to winning a big prize. Most of them are lonely.

On the left, the independent army rushed to about 100 meters away from the enemy.

The next step is the most dangerous part of the journey. At this distance, the federal soldiers on the defensive side also fell into a high degree of tension.

At this time, they tend to use all their firepower and don't care about saving ammunition.

"rush."

The independent army did not stop and accelerated towards the enemy's position.

They did not stop shooting at the enemy, which would be a huge loss.

Most of the Union soldiers in the trenches could only see their heads and shoulders, making it difficult to shoot.

The soldiers of the Independence Army were all exposed on the plains. Except for a few craters where they could hide their bodies, the rest were all exposed to the enemy's sight.

Except for a small number of machine gunners who stopped to shoot at the federal positions and suppress fire, the remaining soldiers rushed towards the federal positions.

The machine guns of the federal army also fired unceremoniously at the independent army.

Sometimes if you shoot well, a single bullet can wipe out a whole shift.

In order to make up for the disadvantage of firepower, the federal army was equipped with many machine guns.

However, their manufacturing level is still very rough, and the performance of these machine guns is very poor. Basically, they will be destroyed or malfunction after a while.

Therefore, although they have many machine guns, their firepower is always intermittent.

But when their machine guns were functioning properly, the momentum of the Independence Army's charge was thwarted.

Once the machine guns of the federal army malfunctioned, the independent army could take the opportunity to rush a long distance, or even rush directly in front of the enemy.

After breaking into the Federal Army's trenches, the two sides engaged in bayonet combat.

In this regard, the Independent Army had a slight advantage. They all loaded their bayonets in advance, while some soldiers of the Federal Army loaded their bayonets in a hurry.

There is a big difference between having a bayonet and not having a bayonet.

After a fight, the independent army relied on their local numerical advantage to rush into the trench and occupied a section of the trench.

But this is just the beginning of the battle.

Next, they have to continue to advance in this trench defense line, and they have to guard against counterattacks.

It is not easy to advance in the trench. From time to time, a bullet will fly, and the person who is hit does not know where the bullet comes from.

Even if a bunker is discovered, without special weapons, these bunkers are quite a headache.

"Grenade."

This sound kept coming.

In trench warfare, grenades were definitely a better weapon than guns.

Because of the narrow and curved terrain in the trench, it is most suitable for grenades.

Every time the soldiers of the Independence Army came to a corner, they would first throw a grenade over, and after the explosion, they would immediately rush over and shoot.

If they don't do this and rush over directly, bullets are often waiting for them.

If a few people die at one time, the cumulative effect will be too much for the independent army.

"No more grenades."

A soldier in the first squad said that their squad originally had twelve people, but after the charge and trench battle, there were only seven left at this time.

This casualty is certainly not worth mentioning for the entire independent army.

However, for their class, the casualties have been very high, and they have even lost their combat effectiveness.

"There is nothing we can do, leave it to other troops."

Squad leader Rachel gave up on advancing and prepared to wait for the follow-up troops to come over and hand over the task of advancement to the follow-up troops.

This decision was naturally supported by the surviving soldiers, and none of them wanted to rush anymore.

Soon, the follow-up troops came over, led by a company commander.

"What are you doing here? Don't you continue to advance and give the enemy time to breathe?"

the company commander asked.

"We have more than half of our casualties, we have no grenades, and we have completed our assigned mission."

Rachel argued.

"This is not a reason for you to stop attacking. Take these ammunition and attack from here with Squad 6..."

The company commander made plans, while the soldiers in the first squad were cursing in their hearts.

In the middle road, during the charge of the Chinese army, the number of soldiers killed and injured was much less than that of the other two roads.

Their soldiers were too scattered. Even if they were locked by the federal army's machine guns, they would only be able to kill two or three people. In order to kill these two or three people, the federal army often needed to spend a magazine of ammunition.

This is the difference between an elite army and a miscellaneous army. The Chinese army excels in details.

, all aspects can make the federal army uncomfortable.

Faced with this kind of charge from the Chinese army, their machine gunners would lose money even if they fired, and it would be dangerous not to fire.

What's even worse is that after shooting, they can survive for no more than three minutes on average.

In Dahua's mortar team, observers have been looking for firepower points on the battlefield.

As soon as the federal army's machine guns opened fire, the position was immediately exposed.

What greeted them next were mortar shells and sniper bullets.

The extremely high mortality rate of machine gunners made federal soldiers reluctant to use machine guns.

"Damn it, David, get on top."

shouted the commander.

"No, I haven't received any training with machine guns. I can't shoot accurately."

The soldier named David refused directly. He could clearly see how the two machine gunners in front were shot in the head by a Chinese sniper.

This firepower point has been targeted by Dahua's snipers. If he goes up to operate this machine gun at this time, it is not like seeking death.

David had a good reason for refusing. He was not a machine gunner and had not received special training.

Operating a machine gun actually requires a high level of technical content.

Without mastering the skills, a slight shake of the machine gun can cause the bullet to be thousands of miles away from the target.

Without specially trained soldiers, just rushing the ducks to the shelves will probably have no effect.

But the commander couldn't care so much anymore. The sound of machine gunfire reassured him. After the sound of his own machine gunfire stopped, he instinctively felt uneasy.

Not only he is like this, but other soldiers are also like this.

Therefore, even if it was to allow other soldiers to fight with peace of mind, David had to fire the machine gun. Whether it could hit or not, it actually didn't matter anymore.
