C1648 firepower as king (1/2)
Tuk, tuk, tuk … The sound of the Gatling was long and unique. The four Gatling's control of the 200 metre wide attack cross section was indeed lacking in firepower. Even though the Six Barrel Heavy Machine Gun had strong firepower, it was still insufficient to control the 50 metre long attack cross section.
In the sky above them, which was forty meters high, the observation sentry was completely dumbfounded. The black masses of people below their feet were all covered by the four invisible Death God's Sickles, and every time the Gatling rotated its muzzle, there would be pieces of corpses lying on the ground.
The line of attack was no longer a straight line or a triangle. The four Gatling were more like whistles digging out ice cream, and every time they moved their muzzles left and right, they would dig out a deep arc from the charging troops.
The rain of bullets dug out pieces of flesh from the waves of cavalrymen. After that, even more cavalrymen increased their speed and charged into the battlefield like a meat grinder, causing all the Cossack to be filled with bloodlust.
If he had no place to retreat to, then he could only move forward!
”Attack!” Cossack will never retreat … ” The sound of gunshot bullets filled the air. The skull of the officer who shouted those slogans was shattered into pieces, and his brain splattered onto the face of the soldier behind him.
”Wu La …” Charge... ”Wu La …” The shouting soldier's tongue was exposed to the air, but in the next moment, a metal bullet had pierced through his front teeth and directly broke his neck.
Death had already become a common occurrence that was unworthy of pity. Familiar figures fell one after another, but in the blink of an eye, none of them could be exchanged for comrades. At this moment, all of them were engulfed by the tide of war, and not even a shred of their consciousness remained.
The first wave of two thousand warriors charged towards the position of the volunteers with a will of death in their arms, as if they were ready to fight to the death.
The Jiangxin Island had a total of 13,000 elite brave soldiers, and these men were no longer junior brothers of the battlefield. Haishenwai's cruel battles had trained them, and against such a crazy cavalry army, although they were a little nervous, their preparation for battle was not a little chaotic.
Chinese veterans were scattered among them, serving as officers of various ranks. Their roars rang out one after another, calming down the soldiers at the last moment.
”Steady... ”Don't shoot, they are no longer a threat. You can only shoot after 100 meters …”
”Saving the use of hand grenades... ”Don't bomb the ice. You are only allowed to invest hand grenades on the beaches...”
”Squad leaders, pay attention to the rhythm, save ammunition …”
”We're coming, enter the 100 meter range …” Brother, f * ck them! ”
Pah pah pah … The soldiers who had emerged from the trenches pulled the triggers, and a line of dazzling fire shot out like a rain of bullets.
The distance of a hundred meters was like a barrage of bullets to Mauser. The conical warheads shot into the chest of the enemy, and the strong warhorses screamed as they knocked the riders to the ground, then they tripped the horses that were charging after them.
”Attack …” For the Empire... ”Attack …” The surviving officers of the vanguard troops were all crying. Although they were all veterans, they had never experienced such a crazy attack from Gatling before.
In the hearts of these Central Asia cavalry soldiers, Gatling was just a story that officers would occasionally chat with.
Even the Burdan Rifle in their hands was issued to the army last year. Previously, they were still using the old Mini Bullet Rifle, but from this, it could be seen how exhausted Russian Army had been over the past few years. He didn't even have the money to change his equipment.
Today was the day they would swallow the evil fruit. Because their equipment had fallen behind the times, the ones passively being beaten today were not the Chinese people but them.
