Liu Yi took out his telescope from behind the formation to watch the battle, and during the Wuxu period, he rode beside him. Liu Yi, who came from later generations, was very accustomed to this heavy machine gun attack method. In fact, the machine gun developed by Fang Yizhi was from the Ming Dynasty.

Heavy machine guns, or in other words, have not yet reached the level of surpassing shooting of later heavy machine guns.

In the 1970s, heavy machine guns were generally deployed on both wings of the position or at the rear of the attacking corps. The function of the heavy machine gun was not to fire accurately, but to fire suppressively. If it was deployed on both wings of the position, it would basically form a cross-fire network. Anyone who dared to

Any attacking enemy troops would be mopped down in front of the crossfire net. During the First World War,

The Battle of the Somme is a very good example. The British army launched an intensive charge, but were killed in pieces by German machine guns. Tens of thousands of people were killed in one day. It can be said that machine guns are life harvesters. And if it is

To cover the attack of a large corps, machine guns are often ejected from a long distance, and the bullets are fired from the advancing corps.

Go over the head and directly cover the enemy's position. The Qingyi Army currently uses this kind of attack method, but it is limited by the range of the machine gun and can only push to the front of the team to shoot. Fortunately, the opponent does not have the ability to

Weapons that suppressed machine guns, so the New Army's machine guns formed an overwhelming firepower advantage over the Dashun Army.

Liu Yi, who is used to this kind of scene, has a very calm expression, but many generals, including the Wuxu generals, cannot remain calm. Not to mention that they cannot remain calm. The infantry and cavalry involved in the attack all opened their mouths. Who would have thought that war could be like this?

I thought that the New Army's infantry phalanx had the highest firepower density in the world, but who would have thought that a machine gun could fire it in a very short time?

It has the firepower of more than a battalion, and the reloading is very fast, which means that you can continue shooting while changing the ammunition chain. As long as the operator keeps adding water to the sleeve to cool it, the machine gun can keep firing for a long time. But only smart machine guns can

There is still a shortcoming that cannot be improved. This is limited by the current level of manufacturing and cannot be solved by Liu Yi just thinking about it. That is the problem of replacing the barrel, whether it is

Today's firecrackers are still machine guns and rifles of later generations. The barrels have a lifespan. Generally, the barrel needs to be replaced after a certain number of bullets are fired. In combat environments, the shooting speed is fast, and the barrel needs to be replaced even more. The machine guns of later generations, such as

The German cloth tearing machine can be quickly replaced directly on the battlefield, but the Fang Yizhi machine gun cannot, mainly because the body is too bulky and the replacement procedure is complicated, so it can only be finished.

Slowly replaced in a safe environment, the barrels of later machine guns basically have a lifespan of 20,000 to 30,000 rounds, but the current Fang Yizhi machine gun only has a lifespan of 3,000 rounds, and it must be removed after all ten ammunition belts are used

The barrel needs to be replaced, otherwise the barrel will explode. Liu Yi is also helpless about this, but fortunately, more than a dozen cannons can fire tens of thousands of rounds of super firepower in a short period of time. No current army with this density can

contend.

Wuxu murmured on the side: "Why the hell are we fighting? If the cavalry attacks this kind of machine gun formation, there will probably be countless casualties in an instant. This thing can kill people much faster than artillery. Even Qing Yi

Even the military cavalry can't stop them from firing." Liu Yi said with a smile.

: "How about it, you have appreciated the power of technology. When the General Administration of Manufacturing was first developed, there were not without objections. I always thought that these things Lu Chao and the others made were all sleight-of-hand. But facts have proved that these things are not only not

Strange skills and ingenuity are actually weapons of war on the battlefield.

Magic weapon to win. Do you know why the grassland peoples in later generations became good at singing and dancing? It is because of the emergence of machine guns." At this point, Liu Yi was shocked and lost his words. He was in the Ming Dynasty now, how could he know the situation in later generations?

He also wondered: "The hereafter? How does the governor know about the hereafter?"

What's going on? Have the grassland people become good at singing and dancing?" "Ahem, cough, cough, I won't say this, I'm just speaking out of my feelings. Just listen to it. Look, the fire coverage in front made it so

It's almost time, it's time for the infantry to attack the city." Liu Yi immediately changed the subject.

Sure enough, ten consecutive rounds of machine gun fire fired 45,000 rounds of ammunition. Fortunately, the New Army has a lot of money, otherwise no force would have such financial resources to support such a battle. However, this kind of large-scale coverage

The benefits of shooting are also obvious. The city head has been riddled with artillery and machine guns, and many crenellations have disappeared. You can imagine what a miserable situation it is on the city head. The Dashun soldiers who dare to go up to the city are almost

were all wiped out, they even

The enemy was smashed directly to the top of the city without even seeing their faces. The soldiers of the Dashun Army who were the second echelon at the bottom of the city saw the miserable state of their companions at the top of the city. They were all so frightened that they almost peed their pants. They didn't care at this time.

Whether they are regular soldiers or hungry soldiers, they first

We are all human beings and have the instinct to be afraid. Especially in the face of such powerful firepower, an unknown fear strikes everyone's heart. Who knows if there are any big killers behind the new imperial army. Chapter 1

Wouldn't it be courting death if the second echelon went up again?

"Damn it, whatever the hell you are in a daze, come to me. If you can't do it, I will send him back to the west immediately!" The battalion general yelled, asking the soldiers to push up, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Even these battalions

Jiang himself was shaking all over, obviously frightened by the firepower of the officers and soldiers. Many of them had been staying in the

Sichuan did not participate in the Jiujiang War. Although the defeated soldiers from the front came back and said how powerful the new imperial army was and how many people they had died in Jiujiang, they had never seen it with their own eyes and had no idea of ​​the combat effectiveness of the Qing Yi Army.

Intuitive understanding, now they really feel the God of Death

They are right next to them, and their lives will be harvested at any time. Who can not be afraid, but they can't run away. They heard a message from the officers stationed at several other city gates, saying that the official cavalry had surrounded several other city gates.

Well, most of them are infantry. Even a small number of cavalry cannot break through without seeing the official.

The army cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, but the Dashun army cavalry looked much worse. After all, they were troops staying at the rear. Li Zicheng could not spend too much attention on them, so the equipment level of these people was also very poor.

The will is also very ordinary, and many people were confused by such a severe blow suddenly.

"The Qing Yi Army must win!" "Must win! Must win! Must win!" Just as the battalion general was hesitating whether to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and brought out a few hungry soldiers to kill them and boost their morale, an overwhelming sound suddenly came from outside the city.

With the sound of shouts, the infantrymen of the three divisions of the Qingyi Army raised their muskets and lined up in order towards the

The flying thunder cannon and tiger crouching cannon were all set up, and the close fire network was organized again. The flying thunder cannon was actually just a temporary method that Liu Yi came up with, because at that time Qing Yi

The army is still very weak and does not have the funds or ability to cast heavy artillery and flying thunder cannons.

Although the range is short, it is powerful and simple to manufacture, which means there is no other solution. The Qingyi Army no longer equips flying thunder cannons on a large scale, and basically replaces flying thunder cannons with other types of regular artillery.

, but each division still retained a small number of flying thunder cannons, mainly

This thing is not good at other things, but it is a good siege player. What Qing Yijun loves to do most is to concentrate several thunder cannons to directly bombard the city gate. The simultaneous explosion of huge explosive packets can often achieve the final effect. They have not encountered anyone yet.

A city gate can withstand simultaneous bombardment from thunder cannons.

Boom boom boom, a deafening explosion sounded. The Dashun army in the city watched helplessly as the solid city gate of Chongqing Mansion was turned into pieces. You must know that this city gate was repaired under the supervision of Qin Liangyu himself. It was originally a heavy wooden door.

Copper nails were driven on it, and later the old lady wrapped it in iron sheets and added

After a solid line, the Baigan soldiers tested it. Even if the Hongyi cannons equipped by the Ming army came close to fire, it would have no effect on the city gate. But now in front of the concentrated fire of Qingyi army's flying thunder cannons, everything was wiped out.

The city gate was directly blown to pieces. Through the smoke, they could even see the attacking Qing Yi Army outside the city.

"Damn it, officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers are coming up!" A battalion general jumped to his feet anxiously. Everyone knew what would happen to them if they let the officers and soldiers enter the city. They had heard about it a long time ago. These new soldiers of the imperial court didn't like them very much.

To keep prisoners, if they are hungry soldiers and have not been in the Dashun Army for a long time, they can still have a way of survival. If they capture the old

Camp soldiers are basically dead. The regular soldiers will be screened, not to mention officers. Officers are the key targets for elimination. They will screen the officers among the prisoners and execute them on the spot if they are found. In other words, his subordinates

These soldiers may still have a chance to survive, but high-ranking officers like them are doomed.

But who wants to die in vain? There are nearly 30,000 Dashun troops in the city. They feel that if the officers and soldiers attack and everyone fights with them, they may not be able to cause heavy damage to them. The advantage of the Dashun army is that there are many people, and the officers and soldiers are like this

point, if

Every time a city is attacked, a lot of casualties are incurred. They are probably all dead before they reach Chengdu. The opponent's general should not be so stupid. It is very troublesome to train such elites if one of them dies or the other is missing. With this kind of attitude,

Feeling lucky, the camp general gritted his teeth and

He cut down the two hungry soldiers in front of him fiercely, and said fiercely: "Come on, or I will chop you into pieces before the officers and soldiers enter the city!" The regular soldiers behind him also raised their spears, and these people

I'm fairly loyal to the general, but it's the hungry soldiers who lead the way.

There was no need for them to die first. The starving soldiers were forced to move forward slowly, but what greeted them was a storm of bullets. "Ready! Aim! Shoot!" The officers ordered at the same time, one after another.
