Chapter 2875: Battle of the Bay (Ⅲ)

As soon as Audrey said this, the next few "strokes" immediately shut up.
They just like to lift the bar, not stupid!
The "Wind Gun" has a magazine capacity of ten rounds, which can be fired in a row and can be shot in one minute.
If you switch to an old-fashioned rifle or a more primitive crossbow, the shooting efficiency is much lower than that of the "Wind Gun". After completing ten shots, will you still have time to retreat?
The recruits trained by the colonel’s ladies guarded the first line of defense according to the arrangements before the war. When the Feizhen soldiers in red uniforms entered within a hundred steps, they heard Lieutenant Colonel Holden coming from the hillside behind them. Blow the horn, pull the trigger immediately!
Most of the recruits fired all ten bullets in three minutes, and it was a relief to see the enemy army falling down like rows of wheat on the opposite side.
The swift recruits changed their magazines and continued to fire, so they could get better before retreating!
However, most of the recruits obediently obeyed the command of the colonel, and after emptying the preloaded magazine, they picked up the wind gun and retreated along the channel dug in advance.
The Continental Army officers and soldiers guarding the back two lines of defense knew before the start of the battle that the recruits on the front line would retreat after ten rounds of gunfire.
With mental preparation, knowing that the rookies are retreating according to the plan, not fleeing, they will not panic and follow along.
The 2,000 officers and soldiers stationed on the second line of defense were all Continental Army veterans who followed Audrey from the Forge Valley to the south. As early as June this year, they installed air rifles purchased from the Far East. Running in, I am already familiar with this weapon.
Audrey’s order for the defenders of the second line of defense is slightly different from that of the first line of defense. The veterans are required to maintain firepower suppression against the enemy until the cylinder indicates that the pressure is insufficient, and then they can withdraw to the back to replace the cylinder. .
The gas cylinder of the wind gun can fire 40 pellets continuously, and then it will prompt that the pressure is insufficient, and the gas cylinder needs to be replaced or inflated.
In fact, in the case of insufficient pressure, another ten shots are not a problem, but the range and accuracy will be reduced.
It is not a problem for veterans of the Continental Army to quickly change their magazines on the ground, and there are spare cylinders in their bags, but the operation of temporarily replacing the cylinders is more cumbersome and not everyone can do it quickly.
For the sake of safety, Audrey did not ask them to change the gas cylinders immediately. After playing the four magazines, they can withdraw to the back of the position, change the gas cylinders calmly, and install the dismantled empty bottles on the "army station inflator", and then Come back to fight again.
The second line of defense played the role that Audrey had expected, and the fierce battle lasted for half an hour.
The veterans of the Continental Army performed outstandingly. They repelled three enemy charges one after another, causing nearly a thousand casualties. The corpses were lying in the bushes, and the blood-soaked red uniforms bathed in the evening sun.
Feizhen's troops were stuck in the middle of the mountain in a dilemma, and the heavy casualties made Little Winthrop heartbroken.
He was hesitating to order the troops to withdraw and temporarily give up the storming of the mountain. The report sent by the front-line commander refreshed him!
The fourth wave of offensives organized by one's own side finally achieved results. The Continental Army soldiers guarding the second line of defense seemed to have run out of ammunition, jumped out of the trenches, and fled toward the hillside in a swarm.
Little Winthrop was secretly relieved when he heard the news, he thought it should be stable now, right?
However, he took this "relief pill" too early.
The reason why Audrey adopts this layered defense method is to lure the enemy into deep, not satisfied with just repulsing the enemy, but also to maximize the destruction of the enemy's active force.
Little Winthrop's troops, after paying more than 13 casualties, attacked the hillside with one last breath, but what greeted them was the third line of defense of the Continental Army and a living nightmare!
The last line of defense stationed in the Far East is the Assa Special Training Corps, which received special training in the Far East and is equipped with advanced weapons such as "wind guns", grenades and grenades. Audrey has the strongest combat force!
As in the thousands of drills in the military academy, these slightly nervous Asa youths, under the command of Kandy, quickly filled the grenades and fired grenades at the pre-calculated angles in teams and groups.
The officers and soldiers of Feizhen who were attacking the top of the mountain heard a banging sound from a high place, and then there was a black grenade that fell down on their heads in an arc from three to four hundred yards away. The instinct of a professional soldier immediately fell down!
The grenade exploded violently as soon as it touched the ground, spraying out a large group of flames and countless shrapnel, covering the attacking side's front in the sea of ​​flames.
The grenade thrown by the tossing barrel is equivalent to the "fireball technique" with twice the damage radius. Although the accuracy of the projectile is far inferior to the "fireball technique" of fixed-point blasting, 200 grenades explode together, and the destructive power is still very terrifying!
The Feizhen officers and soldiers who were charging towards the top of the mountain were slammed on the ground firmly by this unexpected blow. They were so frightened that they were confused and they hugged their heads to find shelter.
Conti led the druid team with the army to jointly release the "wind-making technique", setting off a storm on the ground, blowing off the smoke of gunpowder over the battlefield, clearing the field of vision for his officers and soldiers.
The special training troops stationed at the third line of defense eliminated the interference of gun smoke. They could see the craters on the ground through binoculars or just by sight, confirm how far the landing point of the first round of test shots deviated from the calculated trajectory, and then adjust according to the deviation. The angle of the tossing barrel, the accuracy of the second round of projectiles increased significantly.
Then came the third and fourth rounds of bombing.
In just a few minutes, thousands of grenades were concentrated and projected in the narrow area leading to the top of the mountain. It was called a saturated carpet bombing. It almost ploughed the land once, killing and wounding hundreds of Feizhen soldiers.
Facing the constantly falling grenades, Feizhen’s officers knew that if they stayed here, they would die, and there were only two ways to survive.
Either retreat or continue to rush forward-rushing to the front of the enemy, this kind of curved grenade device is useless.
The horn from below the mountain is like a reminder, forcing the officers and soldiers trapped on the mountain to get up with artillery fire, and continue to rush forward with their guns.
Finally rushed through the fire-covered section of the tossing barrel and approached within a hundred steps of the enemy’s third line of defense. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the opposing defender leaned out from behind the trench, rounded his arms, and moved One by one spherical devices struggling to throw over.
"Far East 1624-style single-soldier alchemy bomb", commonly known as "magic grenade", fragments and countless small steel embedded in the bomb, the explosion instantly violently splashes, blasting the enemy forces within a radius of 20 feet into blood. The hornet's nest, although the actual lethality is not as good as the grenade, the visual effect is more tragic than being blown up by the grenade!
