"Wouldn't it be better if the soldiers in the two rows behind were to reload and the soldiers in the first row would just shoot?"

Seeing the battle situation on the front line in the headquarters, Li Yuanlao made a suggestion.

In his field of vision, soldiers in the trenches were in rotation.

After the first row of arrays finished shooting, they retreated downwards.Then the soldiers in the second row crossed the first row, boarded the shooting position, and then fired.

In this case, the three rows of arrays rotate in turn, forming a continuous firepower network.

Although because of the barrier of the barbed wire, the Mongols were unable to move an inch.But it is obvious that the efficiency of such a rotation shooting is far inferior to the method Li Yuanlao said.

But after Qiao Feng explained it, Li Yuan understood the deep meaning.

"What our soldiers lack most is combat experience. Now that the enemy is attacking and we are defending, the situation is still relatively easy, and we can take this opportunity to exercise everyone's combat skills. By adopting the method of rotating shooting, every soldier can experience combat and master in battle. Shooting skills in actual combat, such an opportunity is even rarer."

The combat effectiveness of the North Korean army is not as good as that of the Xia army. In addition to the gap in weapons and equipment, there is also the fighting will and combat experience.

After all, it was too late to form an army, and there were deficiencies in all aspects, so it could not be called a strong army at all.

Now, taking advantage of the less intense battle scenes, it is obviously a good thing to use it to train soldiers.

The North Korean First Division was defending calmly, but Gonpo and Subadhi couldn't accept the reality at all.

I thought that with a large number of artillery coming here, and the strength of our side was several times that of the enemy, we would definitely be able to win the battle.As a result, what I saw was that the Mongols were dying in pieces, and it was very difficult to move forward.

"Push the cannon forward and don't stop."

The two became ruthless and decided to use artillery fire to suppress the firepower of the North Korean First Division.

The artillery advanced another [-] meters, and after getting closer, the accuracy also improved a lot.

Basically, under every round of shelling, many shells hit Xia Jun's fortifications.

The fortifications made of mud, wood, and stones, although the walls are very strong, are not impregnable.

A cannonball flew in quickly, and the powerful impact force opened a gap the size of a door in the earthen wall.The sand, gravel and mud splashed everywhere caused tragic casualties to the soldiers of the Xia army.

The people behind immediately came up and dragged the wounded away.

Because of this rush, the firepower here was interrupted.

It took a lot of effort for Qiao Shi to get up from the burial in the soil. He touched his whole body and found that nothing was missing, so he let out a sigh of relief.

"Come a few people, lift up the sandbags, and block the gap."

The soldiers at the bottom of the trench immediately moved sandbags that had been filled with soil a long time ago, and filled the gap that had been smashed.

Josh stuck to the edge of the bunker, observing the situation ahead.

It was found that the barbed wire fence had been damaged a lot by the Mongols, and the enemy had advanced to a place four or fifty meters away from the position.

He blew his whistle quickly.

Re-complete the reorganized team and go into battle again.

The first row finished loading and fired a rain of bullets.

Some careless Mongols died immediately under the muskets, and the rest either erected their shields to block them, or fell to the ground one after another.

The Mongol eagle shooters also began to fight back.

Although because of the bunker, their hit rate is not high.But as long as Xia Jun soldiers are not careful, they may still be hit by arrows.

During the chaotic battle between the two sides, Qiao Shi immediately changed his tactics when he saw that many of his soldiers were injured.

"Grenade, knock them down."

For a strong soldier, throwing a grenade over a distance of forty or fifty meters is not difficult at all.

The Mongols can defend against musket attacks, but they cannot defend against grenades.Amid the explosions one after another, the survivors turned their heads and ran away one after another, not daring to stay any longer.

Even so, there were still a large number of corpses left behind on their way back.

The artillery of the North Korean First Division began to show off its power.

Although it was only a bronze cannon, it fired solid shells.But both in terms of quality and range, it far exceeds the artillery of the Mongols.Therefore, in the artillery battle, the North Korean First Division still had the upper hand.

"Qiao Shi, how is your side, do you need reinforcements?"

Qiao Shan ran over, grabbed his brother and asked.

Qiao Shi, also known as Huishi, was very dissatisfied with his name after joining the army.With the consent of Qiao Feng and Qiao Shan, he gave himself a new name.

The ignorant North Korean farmer back then is now a company commander of the North Korean First Division.

"Don't worry, we are doing well here, and we promise not to let others rush up."

Qiao Shan checked around and found that the overall condition was fairly good, so he was relieved.

"I will ask the artillery to take care of your side, and you should pay attention to cooperating in the battle. Be careful, and pay attention to the changes in the enemy's tactics. If the ammunition is insufficient, report it quickly, and don't delay."

The battle between Dongducheon and Pocheon has always been in a stalemate. Even though the Qing army received support from Mobei Mongolia, it still had nothing to do with the Xia army's defense system.

Like the entanglement on the northern front, Duoduo's painstakingly prepared raid on the eastern front also failed.

The tens of thousands of troops in his hands were also blocked in South Yangzhou and Henan.

The Qing army along the way was even worse.

Because they were facing the [-]rd and [-]th Marine Regiment, in addition Zuo Yong also mobilized all the strike firepower of the Artillery Regiment.

In any case, the Qing army had no way to cover the attack with the firepower of the Xia army's heavy artillery and rocket launchers.

If it weren't for the fact that the third and fourth marine regiments had too few troops, they might have already started a counterattack.

When the North Korean Second Division began to land on the east coast, the Qing coalition forces were immediately alerted.

Knowing that Xia Jun appeared behind them, and that they were moving very fast, the Qing coalition forces were in a mess.

In fact, in the direction where the North Korean Second Division appeared, there was no force at all able to stop it.

In just three days, large areas such as King Kong, Changdao, Fengquan, Anbian, Gaoshan, Dingping, Plateau, and Chuannei all fell into the hands of Xia Jun.

What's more serious is that many granaries located in these places were all burned down one by one by the North Korean Second Division.

The logistical crisis has already begun to affect the operations of the Qing coalition forces.

If the actions of the North Korean Second Division were just harassment, then the Xia Army on the southern front was about to carry out a thunderous blow.

"Commander, the special bombs have been delivered."

Bai Xiaoqi was gearing up, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

During this month, he competed with Dorgon and Hauge hill by hill.Although a lot of places have been laid down, the progress is very slow, and Xia Jun's casualties are not low.

Just because the Qing army has the advantage of the terrain, the Xia army's artillery strikes have limited effect.

But now, Xia Jun is ready to take out his secret weapon.
