Chapter 258 Chapter 258 Bayonet on

 “Charge!” The soldiers of the Gemelin Kingdom held their weapons and scattered into a black mass and rushed towards the defense line of the Wright Kingdom.

The smoke from the shell explosion had not completely dissipated. Before the soldiers in the trenches could prepare to face the enemy, they saw densely packed enemy troops approaching their own trenches.

“Bang!” A soldier holding a K1 rifle aimed at an approaching enemy and skillfully pulled the trigger.

A gunshot sounded immediately, and because of the confusion, he couldn't see whether his shot really hit the target.

There was no other way. He had to retreat into the trench and reload his rifle - this was a complicated process. Compared with the bolt-action rifle, the reloading process of the needle gun was actually too slow.

After firing, the soldier must clean the chamber, then load a new bullet into his rifle. Then in the chaos, he must be careful about the long firing pin in the chamber of his rifle. Accident.

This is also one of the main reasons why the needle gun was quickly eliminated: it was too expensive, complicated to load, and the bullets were not easy to store. In short, except for being more advanced than the flintlock gun, it had almost no merit.

With great difficulty, this soldier from the Kingdom of Wright finally completed reloading, picked up his rifle, and aimed it at the enemy in the distance again.

The enemies were much closer, and he could even see that the weapons in their hands were almost the same as his.

 He pulled the trigger and then retracted his neck. He was not even interested in seeing whether he had hit the opponent.

 The battle has lasted for two days. The opponent has no way to attack at night, so the battle has been very fierce for two consecutive days.

There are no messy special tactics in this era, and infantry-artillery coordination tactics have not yet been developed, so it is just a simple "artillery bombardment, infantry rush, after the infantry rushes, the artillery bombards, after the artillery bombards the infantry rushes..."

However, because of its absolutely superior military strength, the Gemelin Kingdom is still close to success. As they invest more and more troops, the defense of the Kingdom of Wright becomes more and more stretched.

  The only Maxim machine gun in the legion had malfunctioned. After massacring nearly 500 people, the internal parts of this machine gun seemed to be broken, so the only trump card of the entire legion was completely withdrawn from the battle.

 What remains is a true competition of willpower. In two days of fighting on Wright's side, more than 100 people had been killed, and more than 200 people were injured and unable to continue fighting.

 This is already one-fifth of the total number of troops. If artillery and other personnel are excluded, almost one-third of the entire infantry regiment's front-line combat troops have withdrawn from the battle.

The army has not collapsed until this time, entirely because there are many interns from Datang Military Academy supporting this army.

As the backbone of the army, they usually serve as the captains of the infantry squad. Under the influence of their daily training, the combat effectiveness of this unit is also quite tenacious.

 It is a pity that when there is no generation difference in the weapons between the two sides, the battle will inevitably become fierce.

Soon, the enemy troops approached the trenches, and the two sides began a fierce melee. The sound of gunfire, accompanied by shouts of killing, echoed throughout the position.

“Prepare the bayonet!” Seeing that the enemy troops were very close, an intern of the Tang Dynasty military cadet wearing a bright yellow military uniform pulled out the sword at his waist and ordered loudly.

An officer from the Wright Kingdom was holding a revolver. He looked at the young officer and persuaded him: "Child! You are just here for an internship. There is no need to take risks here. Leave here immediately and bring a message to the commander. Say we have tried our best!”

The young trainee officer was holding a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other. He smiled and said, "I'm here for an internship, but doesn't the internship mean participating in combat? Doesn't it count as a soldier of the Kingdom of Wright?"

A soldier inserted a bayonet into the muzzle of his gun and continued to persuade: "But there is really no need for you to stick here!"

"Don't tell me, I almost forgot. I'm here for an internship, haha. I have never regarded you as an outsider, why don't you regard me as one of your own?" The young officer sniffed and looked towards He pointed out the direction the enemy was coming from: "Stop talking nonsense and get ready to fight!"

The soldier who had already inserted his bayonet continued to say anxiously: "That's not it, sir, we are just..."

The young man picked up his pistol, pointed in the direction where the enemy was charging and shouted loudly: "It's nothing, just... It's a pity that my teacher taught me to be brave and strong, but he didn't teach me to flinch! If I don't teach you As my relatives, then...how dare I ask you to support me and live and die with me?"

 “Sir!” All the soldiers gathered around him were moved by his words, and everyone clenched the steel guns in their hands.

The young officer glanced at the official officer of the Wright Kingdom beside him, nodded to him, and continued to shout loudly: "All soldiers! Listen to my orders! Do whatever it takes to block the gap in the front line of defense! Kill the enemy." Go back! Protect the civilians behind you! Protect our... motherland!”

 “Yes!” Everyone agreed excitedly.

 “Fix the bayonet!” “Fix the bayonet!” Not far away, the inspired junior officers passed the order one by one. The soldiers took out the bayonets from their waists, inserted them under the muzzle of the gun, and fixed the buckle. The shining blade looked extremely dazzling in the sun.

“I won’t tell you ‘charge me’, I will shout ‘charge me’, now, charge me! Soldiers!” The young officer raised his sword high and was the first to rush out of the trench.

 “God bless Wright!” All nearby soldiers from the Wright Kingdom jumped out of the trench with their bayonets in their hands.

 “God bless the Kingdom of Wright!” For a moment, shouts resounded across the sky.

 “Bang!” Holding a pistol in one hand and a long sword in the other, the young officer took the lead and rushed into the crowd of enemy soldiers who were already very close.

He swung his long sword to split the opponent's bayonet blade, raised his pistol and shot the opponent head-on.

In Datang Military Academy, instructors do not rigidly teach students to fight with each other, but teach students to make good use of all the weapons in their hands to gain an advantage.

The other party obviously did not expect that the young officer actually held a pistol in his hand, and a ball of blood bloomed on his forehead before he fell on his back.

 Another soldier shoulder to shoulder with the soldier from the Gemelin Kingdom became visibly panicked. He turned his gun, only to be knocked down by a second shot.

The soldiers of the Wright Kingdom following the trainee officers of the Datang Military Academy were also full of momentum. They pushed forward hard and clearly surpassed their opponents in terms of fighting skills.

With shouts like a flash crash, they thrust out the weapons in their hands, killing their opponents or dying together with them.

 Casualties rose to an uncontrollable level in an instant. This kind of hand-to-hand fighting was cruel and unreasonable. On the chaotic battlefield, it was not surprising that any accidents occurred.

In a state of red-eyed killing, it is very likely that the opponent will give up defense and choose to die with the enemy in front of him.

As a result, soldiers from the Kingdom of Gemelin fell, and soldiers from the Kingdom of Wright died. Countless corpses soon lay on this position.

“Bang!” A Gemelin soldier mixed in the crowd picked up the K2 lever rifle in his hand and shot to death a Wright Kingdom soldier who was assassinating him.

Then he discovered that he had just killed another enemy in front of him, a young officer from the Kingdom of Wright who was extremely brave.

His index finger, ring finger and little finger pressed forward, then suddenly moved back, and the lever rifle was loaded. Then he raised his gun again and aimed at the young officer wearing a bright yellow military uniform.

“Bang!” A crisp gunshot sounded, and the young trainee officer from Datang Military Academy, who was preparing to fight the oncoming enemy, felt something hit his abdomen.

 He ​​lowered his head and saw that blood had seeped out from inside the bright yellow military uniform. Some of it had flowed out of the bullet holes in the clothes and flowed along the texture of the clothes onto the buttons and belt.

 “Damn it!” He staggered and was hit by the charging enemy. He staggered and tried to steady himself, but a wave of dizziness hit him.

 Another enemy rushed over. At this time, the young officer was already kneeling on one knee. He used the long sword as a crutch to lean on the ground, raised his other hand and fired a shot, emptying the last bullet in the revolver.

The enemy who rushed over screamed and fell to the ground. The young trainee officer lowered his arm holding the pistol and breathed in the fishy air.

 “Bang!” There was a gunshot, and a stream of blood spurted out from the young officer’s shoulder. His body was no longer under any control, and he fell straight down, hitting the corpse beneath him.

More soldiers from the Wright Kingdom fell to the ground after being shot, and more lever rifle gunners from the Gemelin Kingdom rushed up.

The battle between the two sides was still stalemate, with gunshots ringing out from time to time. More soldiers from the Kingdom of Wright joined in the hand-to-hand combat. The gunners from the Kingdom of Gemelin who had run out of bullets were stabbed to death with bayonets by the soldiers from the Kingdom of Wright who were furious.

More than an hour later, there was a burst of cheers from the position. The flagpole hanging the flag of King Wright was waved back and forth, and the royal flag on it fluttered on the position.

After a fierce and fierce battle, the position was still in the hands of the Kingdom of Wright, and the attack of the Kingdom of Gemelin was repelled again.

However, this time more soldiers of the Wright Kingdom fell, and they were unable to see the victory, although this victory was gained with their lives.
