Chapter 664: Assault use of pistol

On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, the Qi army actively launched a partial counterattack in order to force the Yan army to retreat near the original border. Because the Qin army withdrew the airship. This also caused the Yan army to lose a certain amount of air superiority. If it had air superiority, the Yan army could rely on the presence of the Qin army's air "gunboat" to suppress the Qi army's counterattack. But now the situation has undergone a major change. The Yan army has not only lost the air superiority that they depended on for survival, but also lost their morale.

The number of deserters in the Yan army is increasing. The frontline has dropped from 70-80,000 at the beginning of the war to less than 50,000, and almost all of these 50,000 are recruits temporarily arrested. A large number of experienced veterans escaped by nearly 70%, and they all joined the northern war against the mountains and North Korea. The Eastern Front was completely ignored. Even if they owe a few months of salary, they will completely ignore it. Because they know that this money is impossible to get back.

King Yan privately embezzled a large amount of military spending to build his own palace. In the entire Yan Capital, only the Yan King's palace is the most luxurious, and the rest are in dilapidated condition. The severe shortage of military spending has led to extremely low morale. The reason why Yan Jun was able to survive until now was entirely supported by the Qin State. Of course, Qin also got a lot of benefits. Gold and low wood prices have made Qin's paper and furniture industries prosperous. A large amount of ginseng, leather and fur gave Qin Guo new materials for his clothes.

The Yan army on the front line is completely desperate. In the area controlled by the Yan Army, the guerrillas attacked quite frequently. Qin reporters unscrupulously took all-aluminum cameras to take pictures, as long as Yan Jun dared to violate "humanitarianism." Qin reporters would report, and public opinion reports often forced the Qin government to withdraw aided materials. This made it impossible for the Yan army to eliminate guerrilla operations from the ground up. Without any choice. Usually Yan Jun will join together thousands of talents to get on the road. Forbid any Qi people to approach within one hundred steps on the road.

The guerrillas in the control area were unscrupulous. On the front line, the Qi army's frontline activities are unusually frequent. Because they began to equip a new type of pistol. This is a pistol that uses a free striker. In particular, the use of smokeless gunpowder, the use of new pistol bullets with double base fire, and the use of new primer greatly reduce the possibility of pistol misfire, which is reduced by one in a thousand. So this allowed the use of semi-automatic pistols with free bolts. The sales of this pistol in Qin were not very good, because the reputation of revolver was much higher than that of semi-automatic pistols. Moreover, this semi-automatic pistol uses a magazine for ammunition, although the magazine can be filled with eight to fifteen rounds of ammunition. But if you encounter duds, it can’t be compared with a revolver that can be moved quickly. At this point, the people of Qin State clung to their own knowledge. So this pistol turned to face another market. Six countries market.

However, the pistols of this period used the earlier commonly used single-action trigger. The so-called single-action trigger refers to the function of releasing the hammer. The hammer must be pulled down with the thumb (or the action of pulling the sliding sleeve) to fire. , But the second launch can be launched directly. (After launching, the sliding sleeve will retreat and throw the shell, and at the same time re-press the hammer to the ready position) The advantage is that the trigger is faster and labor-saving, so the shooting accuracy is better; the disadvantage is that the trigger will be launched as long as the trigger is touched, so when carrying The "manual safety lever" must be closed, which results in a slower launch of the first shot, and it is easy to fire when the safety is opened in advance.

When this pistol was used in the western part of the Qin country, accidents of accidents and casualties occurred frequently, so this kind of pistol is not promising. On the contrary, Qi people are very optimistic about this powerful single-action trigger pistol. The reason is that they formed multiple assault teams. These commandos slipped past the opponent's trenches, used wire pliers to remove the barbed wire, then buckled the hammer, and jumped into the trenches of the Yan army. If they encounter resistance, this small, flexible, and powerful pistol will shoot immediately. . There are many pistol bullets used by Qin, but Qi is particularly fond of 50 pistol bullets. This pistol bullet can knock the opponent down with one shot at close range. Although the magazine capacity is only eight rounds, it is quite scary for a single-shot rifle and a rifle that does not have a magazine for shooting.

In the narrow space of the trenches, the shortness of the pistol made the Yan Army feel terrified. Usually, as long as this type of burst pistol is fired, many Yan Army soldiers will naturally retreat in another direction. Because their long rifles are simply not suitable for fighting in this environment.

Up to four to six people can shoot in a section of a trench. And reload the bullet after shooting. It usually takes time to replace a soldier to shoot. The opponent's pistol can use this free time to shoot continuously.

The weapons used by the Qi State Commando are also very powerful. The Qi State generally uses the Qi State dagger. This sword is a fighting dagger used by the Qi State fighters, but it gives the commando soldiers a powerful and terrifying weapon. Squad soldiers usually shoot with a light pistol in one hand, and hold this combat dagger in the other hand for close combat. This method of warfare is extremely powerful and full of offensive power. The large-caliber bullet of the pistol can make the opponent lose its combat effectiveness with one shot, especially when shooting at about ten paces. This pistol is the same as the M1911 rifle equipped by the US military. High-power bullets can easily kill opponents or fall to the ground on the spot. When the opponent is sprinting with the bayonet rifle, the short sword can easily open the bayonet charge, and then cut the opponent's neck upwards. This kind of trick is usually difficult to fight back, because the long and narrow trenches and the slender rifle prevent soldiers from responding in time. The smoothly mounted rifle can withstand the fatal blow of the opponent.

So on the eastern front, the Qi army's commando relied on such advantageous weapons to launch a counterattack frantically. After the assault team cleared out and expelled the opponent, the Qi army took advantage of the night to launch a large-scale counterattack. In order to effectively avoid the violent counterattack of Yanjun artillery. The Qi army will choose to attack at night. After the assault team attacked. There will be about five hundred people moving forward to the other side's place in secret. After the assault team shot loudly. Usually means the commando succeeded. These people will immediately move forward. They will quickly rush into the trenches of their opponents. Use the long and narrow environment of the trenches to fight against opponents. This way of fighting caused Yan Jun to feel a very headache. Even the Qin Army Observation Group is troubled by this small team assault tactics, even the excellent Qin Army troops find it very difficult to encounter such a situation. This is not based on advanced weapons, but on the courage and resourcefulness of dual-engine soldiers. Obviously, Qi Jun has an absolute advantage.
