Chapter 38 Wei Jichen's Gun Skills (Third Update, Please Vote)

At the command post of the Luyu Defense Force in Dakaoling, Nie Shichang breathed a long sigh of relief, and his frown relaxed a little. He put down the telescope and felt that his palms were sweaty.

Nie Shicheng did not expect that the enemy would come so quickly. Just after he had held a military meeting and before he had time to issue battle preparation orders to each battalion, the Japanese were already attacking like a tide.

When he saw the Japanese cavalry following closely behind the defeated troops, roaring towards their own position, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and immediately saw that Naofumi was indeed worthy of his reputation.

At that moment, Nie Shicheng was so anxious that he wished he had wings and flew to the front of the position to let the sergeant start shooting.

Fortunately, fortunately, at the last moment, the defender on that position finally reacted.

However, hundreds of Japanese cavalry came with great momentum, and the indomitable momentum of the thousands of troops seemed to tear apart everything that dared to block them, which made Nie Shicheng's heart still high.

Finally, when the Japanese cavalry encountered a trap and the attack came to a halt, he breathed a sigh of relief. The cavalry only needed to stop. Even if they charged again, the effect would be greatly reduced.

"Send an order to Hu Dianjia and ask his Yongzi Battalion to defend their position. If he dares to take even half a step back, I, Nie Shicheng, will not spare him. Well, also, let Zhou Dingchen's Yizi Battalion be prepared to provide support. Once Dianjia asks for help from behind, , just let him go." Nie Shicheng ordered the messenger next to him with a serious face.

The Yizi Battalion was a reserve force in Nie Shicheng's hands, and would only be put into use at the most dangerous moments. Unexpectedly, the war had just begun this time, and Nie Shicheng had them ready to attack.

The messenger had to order the soldiers to go down urgently. One of Nie Shicheng's staff said with some worry: "I don't know if Yongziying can withstand it. If support is needed even for the Japanese's first attack, it will be a big blow to the morale of our army. ”

Feng Guozhang, who was standing behind Nie Shicheng, nodded slightly and said: "Master Hu has always been good at defending, and not long ago I went to check the Yongzi camp position. Their fortifications are very strong. I am afraid that the Japanese have found the wrong target this time. If he had chosen to attack the other army's garrison first, maybe Cheng Yaojin's three-blade ax would have really worked."

"That's right, Wei Jichen is a very powerful brat. I don't know where he learned those tricks. It's not easy for the enemy to break through his position. I'm sure Naofumi will regret finding him this time." Nie Shicheng nodded in agreement. With his head in his mouth, he made no secret of his admiration for Wei Jichen.

When Nie Shicheng praised Wei Jichen, a slightly short soldier in the command post wrinkled his nose involuntarily.

"Is that bad guy so powerful?" Nie Cairong raised his lips slightly in disdain, thinking in his mind: "If I can lead a group of people, I will definitely do better than him."

When Kaneda Shoichi saw that the attack was frustrated, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. Originally, he wanted to capture the enemy's position in one go, but now it seemed that he had to pay a certain price in casualties.

"Kill the horses in the pit, and then continue the attack!" Kaneda Masa had a cold look in his eyes, and he immediately came up with a solution. Since there is no chance of the horses falling into the pit getting up, why not kill them as stepping stones.

The Japanese soldiers in the cavalry brigade were ordered to shoot and kill the horses that could not run, then pushed into the pit and quickly filled the pit where the horses were trapped.

"Kill!" The Japanese cavalry charged again, roaring and advancing forward, while behind the Japanese cavalry, infantrymen also swarmed in like locusts.

Standing behind the trench, Wei Jichen saw hundreds of defeated troops disappearing into the enemy's cavalry without stirring up a single wave. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. You will be damned if you retreat. If there were rules at the time, we wouldn't end up being massacred by others.

Before he could express any more emotions, Wei Jichen saw that the Japanese cavalry had arrived within the range of the cannon.

Without his order, the artillery team instructor Wang Shizhen had already asked the sergeant to adjust the angle of the cannon.

"Fire!" Wang Shizhen looked at the charging enemy cavalry with half-squinted eyes.

Woo..., the sharp sound of artillery shells passed over Wei Jichen's head and rushed straight towards the enemy.

Boom!

After a loud noise, a burst of thick smoke rose from the Japanese cavalry team, and the three cavalrymen were immediately blown up and thrown into the air, with various parts splashing around in pieces.

Around the area where the shells landed, two war horses were frightened, raised their front hooves, and threw down two more Japanese.

Wei Jichen secretly shouted, "It's a good fight. It would be nice if there were more cannons."

Damn it, his outpost only had one Krupp breech-loading cannon, and he begged his grandpa to tell his grandma to get it from Hu Diaanjia.

There were only three artillery teams in Yongzi Camp, that is, three cannons. This ratio was relatively high among the Qing army. The three cannons were not used together, but were used dispersedly by various posts.

Only when the commander-in-chief feels it is necessary to use them together will they be used together.

Wei Jichen saw that the soldiers of the artillery team were very busy, and Wang Shizhen even took off her shirt and fired the artillery in person, so he had no choice but to swallow the urging words that came to his lips.

Although the cannons are powerful and sound very scary, because the number is too small, the actual damage is limited. The Japanese cavalry obviously saw this through, and they fell on their horses one by one, galloping forward, desperately moving forward.

However, their encounter with Wei Jichen today was destined to be a tragedy. They had just escaped the cannon bombing, but fell into Wei Jichen's minefield again.

Landmines are not new. They appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. There were people who specialized in burying mines in the Qing army.

When the Japanese cavalry stepped into the land, various trip mines and jumping mines rang out one after another. Unfortunately, the power of these mines was too small. At most, they could injure the Japanese, but it was difficult to kill them.

However, the minefield effectively reduced the speed of the cavalry, and some horses were frightened and fled in all directions.

It's getting closer and closer.

"Fire!" Wei Jichen saw that the Japanese finally entered the rifle range, and he raised his hand quickly and forcefully, shouting and giving orders.

Bang, bang, bang, there was a lot of gunfire on the battlefield, and the soldiers fired fiercely from a high position.

The Japanese fell off their horses and fell to the ground one after another. More than 50 people were killed and injured in the first round of shooting.

Wei Jichen closed his eyes and carefully recalled the feeling of using a gun like using his hands at the training base.

Gradually, the rifle in his hand seemed to be connected to his flesh and blood, as if it had become an indispensable part of his body.

Wei Jichen opened his eyes and saw that the movement of the Japanese charging was infinitely slowed down in his eyes, while the Japanese figure was infinitely magnified.

Loading, holding the gun, aiming, shooting, Wei Jichen felt like a different person, everything around him became still in an instant, even the wind froze.

Bang, bang, bang, Wei Jichen fired three shots in the face, and the three charging Japanese fell off their horses almost at the same time, and all of them were shot in the middle of their eyebrows.

A Japanese lieutenant who was rushing in front obviously felt the danger, and took advantage of the moment when the horse paused at high speed, jumped down, turned over and hid behind a stone, and then fired at the Qing army position.

This lieutenant was obviously quite good at shooting. A Chinese soldier just stuck half of his head out of the trench to observe the situation, and he quickly pulled the trigger. With a bang, the soldier's half head was hit by the bullet and bloody.

Then he quickly fired a cold shot every few minutes, which made Wei Jichen gnashed his teeth. He couldn't let you be so rampant. Wei Jichen was about to make a move several times, but the lieutenant was extremely cautious and immediately hid in the blind spot behind the big rock. Wei Jichen couldn't reach him at all.

Wei Jichen half-closed his eyes and waited for him to make another move, but he actually stayed still. If you don't move, I can't do anything!

A cavalryman happened to pass by the rock where the lieutenant was hiding. Wei Jichen took a deep breath and then jumped up to make a move.

Bang, bang.

After two gunshots, the warhorse under the cavalryman's feet cried sadly and then fell behind the big rock.

It turned out that Wei Jichen's two shots hit the warhorse's left ankle, forcing the warhorse to fall to the left.

After the warhorse fell, it was about to fall on the lieutenant. At this time, he had to move slightly outside.

Wei Jichen seized this fleeting opportunity and fired a shot without hesitation, hitting the second lieutenant's forehead in front of his horrified eyes.

Satisfying!

Wei Jichen sneered and took the opportunity to change the bullet.
