Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 121: Rifle gun first battle

boom boom-

The continuous shelling almost shook the ground, and several black shells slammed into the line composed of gray figures with a sharp whistling sound. It was smashed to pieces like a bowling pin.

This is the Kron Hills, the only way to travel from the north to the Kemelin area. In order to resist the coalition of Hildi and the Okalos, the new government of Kemelin has deployed heavy troops here, including from Lulu. The 7th Brigade and 1st Division "smuggled" from the Republic of Mongolia.

In addition, the Kemelin government also deployed almost all the artillery it purchased here. Before the war, there were as many as twenty-six 6-pound infantry guns and eleven artillery pieces belonging to the Kemelin government in this theater. 12-pounder infantry guns, this is not counting the artillery owned by the Lumont mercenaries. If the latter are also included, then they have nearly a hundred guns.

This is not an exaggeration. Under the promotion of Charlie, the 7th Brigade and the 1st Division that came to fight here have successfully attached artillery to the regiment level, and the regiment-level artillery companies attached to the three infantry regiments of the 7th Brigade plus The additional howitzer regiment has 44 artillery pieces. Although the first division has no divisional artillery pieces, the regiment-affiliated artillery companies under its jurisdiction also add up to 32 pieces. It can be seen that the proportion of artillery pieces in the Lumen Army has reached. degree of exaggeration.

Is it powerful? The blood and tears of the logistics officer were exchanged.

The most intuitive side effect of the high proportion of artillery is the increase in logistics pressure. It would be better if the logistics officers of the Fourth Army were responsible for this in China, but they have already gone abroad, and their nominal employer is Kemelin. The new government, the military stockpiles and logistics of the new government can be described as a mess.

Therefore, they can no longer splurge on ammunition as recklessly as they do at home.

But even so, the 7th Brigade and 1st Division fought back with artillery fire that terrified the Okalos coalition.

After being bombarded by coalition artillery, the experienced Rumont artillerymen quickly launched a counterattack. More than 70 artillery pieces of various types roared as high as earth-shattering after the leads were ignited. In the wave of green mixed, a shocking road of flesh and blood was dragged out.

Twenty 7-pounder howitzers also exerted their due power. One after another, the blooming bullets drew beautiful arcs in mid-air and fell into the group. After the lead burned out, they exploded; or they exploded in mid-air. , the flying shrapnel enveloped the soldiers below in the way of the goddess scattered flowers.

Wherever the howitzer went, all the areas affected by the fragments of the shells were mourning everywhere. Except for the lucky ones who were hit by the fragments and died on the spot, those injured soldiers could only fall to the ground in pain, piercing their hearts. The screams of the split lungs, praying for the help of the military doctor.

A group of line infantry belonging to the Hildi Kingdom stepped on the drum beat and bravely continued to advance in the face of the rumble of cannons. At this moment, a black cannonball roared and flew directly to a soldier standing in the middle and The comrades behind him smashed through it, and the blood on the limbs almost dyed the surrounding comrades into blood.

But this didn't affect them. The nearest veteran just wiped the blood on his face with a twitch in his cheeks and continued to march on the drum beat—just after they had advanced dozens of steps, he stood up more than 200 meters in front of them. A line of soldiers lined up with skirmishers raised their rifles and aimed at other soldiers, including this line of infantry.

The veteran who was lucky enough to survive was not panicked. His rich military experience made him know that the shooting accuracy of these hunters who fought in skirmish lines was not high at such a long distance.

"Don't panic, keep going!"

The officer's encouragement sounded in their ears, the veteran took a deep breath, and silently prayed to the gods in his heart, praying that he could escape the shooting of the enemy charioteers, and at the same time advance with his comrades who reorganized the line.

However--

clap clap-

A fire broke out in front of the skirmish line more than 200 meters away, and the sound of gunshots like bursting beans also sounded, but within a few seconds, there seemed to be an invisible iron fist in the air, knocking down the advancing coalition infantry to the ground!

The veteran who was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe saw with his own eyes, several blood flowers burst on the chests of his comrades who were standing on the same line, and fell to the ground before he could cry out in pain.

This first round of shooting killed a large number of the advancing coalition infantry. This is not the end. The hunters who used the paper-wrapped bullets with mini bullets quickly completed the loading, and raised their guns to shoot again. The enemy that came out in the first salvo shot and killed countless again.

Just two rounds of salvos shattered the morale of the coalition infantry. The survivors looked at the countless corpses lying on the ground in horror, and then looked at the enemy hunters who were on the opposite side for a new round of loading. They turned and retreated, unwilling to fight. .

It is not that they have not fought chasers, but the chasers they have encountered before are also equipped with rifled guns with a longer range, but because the rifled guns are difficult to reload, they usually have to reload for a long time after shooting a round. .

As a result, many hunters abandoned the long-range but difficult-to-load rifles in favor of muskets.

The level of weirdness of the enemy charioteers in front of them now is something they have never seen before, and they have never heard of it - not only do they have a long range and high precision, but they also reload faster than a musket? !

The situation was quickly reported to the top of the coalition, to the tables of Lt. Gen. Philip de Haan, commander of the Hildi army, and Duke Leroy Moore, commander of the Okalos army.

Before receiving the report, the two of them stood on the commanding heights of a small hill not far from the battlefield and observed the whole process of fighting with the chasing soldiers with monoculars~www.readwn.com~ They also noticed the enemy chasing soldiers White stuff that comes out of an ammo pack while reloading.

Although they couldn't see the whole picture and details of the item because of the distance, they still watched how the hunter used the item to reload.

Anyone who can become an army commander is not a fool, and they quickly guessed the purpose of the item - it can speed up the reloading of the rifle.

However, they still didn't understand the principle in a short time. In order to crack this "secret" as soon as possible, they immediately ordered the soldiers to hand over similar items to the headquarters immediately after they seized similar items.

At the same time, the powerful combat effectiveness of the 7th Brigade and the 1st Division also successfully convinced many high-level officials of Kemelin's new government - the enemy army was defeated even before the effective killing range of the musket, leaving a corpse on the ground. We actually only have soldiers killed in the shelling!

In contrast to other fronts in the Coron Hills, the new government troops fighting the coalition also had to pay a considerable price to repel the enemy.
