Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 62: The first battle of the Retribution Camp

"Take your gun and aim—"

Behind the dirt wall, the rebel soldiers raised their rifles and aimed at the soldiers of the punishment battalion who were gradually approaching.

"Shoot!"

clap clap-

I saw that the earth wall in front was shrouded in white gunpowder smoke rising into the air, and several people fell in the queue of the advancing punishment battalion, but they were unmoved, still marching forward in neat steps, and kept walking. When they were fifty meters away, they finally stopped and raised their rifles to the rebels behind the earth wall.

clap clap-

A series of sparks burst from the front of the disciplinary camp with the sound of gunshots. Hundreds of bullets flew towards the earth wall like a gust of wind and rain, and immediately shot some soldiers who could not dodge, but most of them did not fly into the sky. It was to hit the half-person-high earth wall, splashing contiguous pieces of earth.

After a round of salvos, the soldiers in the first row immediately put their rifles in front of them to load ammunition. The soldiers in the second row quickly followed the gap left by the soldiers in the front row and took five steps to stand again and hit the dirt wall for the first time. Second round shot!

Some of the soldiers hiding behind the dirt wall wanted to get up and fight back when the enemy was shooting, but they just got up and happened to meet the second round of salvo fired by the disciplinary battalion. Those soldiers who got up were shot and fell to the ground. The rest of the people were so frightened that they turned pale, and they dared not stand up to fight back.

After the second salvo was fired, the soldiers who were originally standing in the third row also followed through the first two rows of comrades and stood in the first row, raising their guns to shoot at the dirt wall.

Xu Jin's shooting tactics!

After the third round of salvo, the original first row of soldiers also finished loading. They then alternated, stood in the first row again, and fired a second salvo towards the earth wall. The rebels had been suppressed by the first three salvos, and they did not dare to lean forward, and this round of salvos was undoubtedly empty.

Seeing this, Dole, the commander of the disciplinary battalion, raised his sword and ordered a charge. The volley of soldiers in the row did not care to reload their weapons. They roared and raised their bayonets and charged towards the earth wall. The second and third rows of soldiers behind. He also rushed up.

"Get up and meet the enemy! Get up and meet the enemy!"

The rebel officer roared loudly, took the lead, raised his rifle and pulled the trigger at the rushing enemy. After a gunshot, the rushing enemy immediately fell down, and the rebel soldiers behind the dirt wall quickly followed the officer to get up. To meet the enemy, but the distance of less than 50 meters was quickly shortened. When they got up to meet the enemy, what they saw was a row of enemies charging with their bayonets like a rainbow!

Seeing this scene, most of the rebel soldiers turned around and ran away, leaving behind the officers and soldiers who didn't have time to react. In just a few seconds, the disciplinary battalion roared over the dirt wall and inserted the bayonet into the block. The enemy in front of them continued to chase the fleeing soldiers.

On the other side, seeing the Punishment Battalion succeeded, the commander of the 1st Battle Infantry Regiment, Greney Baldwin, suddenly drew his saber and ordered the whole regiment to attack, following the opening of the Punishment Battalion to occupy the enemy's position.

The enemies on other fronts also noticed this side. Although they were determined to rush to support, the Second and Third Regiments of the Seventh Brigade that were fighting against them also launched an attack, delaying their forces here.

The breakthrough of the disciplinary battalion did not last long. After they chased a distance, the rebel reserve team rushed over in time to repel them. Gilfi Dole immediately regrouped and attacked the enemy again. After three salvos, they charged frantically again, trying to win the battle with bayonets.

They did.

Although the reserve team that arrived was not bombarded by artillery, their morale had already been exhausted too much in the successive defeats. , Most of the soldiers were pale in shock, their legs trembled, and then after the two armies met the enemy, the disciplinary battalion with the system's blessing in terms of combat effectiveness and morale directly overcame the enemy whose numbers were far higher than their own.

As a result, such a peculiar scene appeared on the battlefield. The side with too few people kept chasing the side with the numerical advantage. The latter obviously had no will to fight. When the pursuit was stopped, the routed soldiers were able to escape smoothly.

It's not that Gilfi Dole doesn't want to continue chasing, but the slightly trembling ground tells him that he shouldn't continue chasing!

"Each company forms an anti-cavalry hollow phalanx, ready to take on the enemy!"

He shouted to his subordinates in a loud voice, and soon his orders were passed on to each company. Although the soldiers did not know why the commander issued such an order, they still obeyed the order unconditionally and shrank one after another. Form a hollow square matrix.

When they finished their formation~www.wuxiamtl.com~ on the horizon in the distance, they could already see the dust raised by the cavalry troop running!

"The enemy cavalry is coming! Load the ammo, load the ammo!"

The company commanders shouted loudly, and the soldiers in the phalanx immediately loaded the last buckshot into the barrel of their guns, looking grimly at the enemy cavalry rushing in from afar!

The friendly army was still behind and did not follow, they could only rely on the hollow phalanx to protect their lives!

While the Punishment Battalion was about to engage the enemy cavalry, the first regiment behind them had already taken over the earth wall and launched an attack on the enemy forces on other fronts, intending to cooperate with the friendly forces to completely wipe out the enemy who was still resisting. At this time, they also found the enemy cavalry galloping from a distance and the punishment battalion that formed several phalanxes. Baldwin had to shrink his troops and prepare to meet the enemy cavalry.

Although the combat effectiveness of the correctional battalion was obvious to all and brought him a lot of surprises, he did not think that the soldiers of the correctional battalion who had not received special training could stop the frontal charge of more than a thousand cavalrymen—but everything that followed did not follow The scene he imagined developed.

General Vaughan of the 1st Hussar Division of the rebels did not expect that when he arrived, he saw the scene of the friendly army being defeated like a mountain. He led almost all the cavalry under his command, more than 1200 cavalry. Join the battlefield with the intention of directly smashing the enemy unit that crushed the friendly army, inspiring the routed soldiers to repeat the battle.

However, after seeing the enemy's formation of an anti-cavalry hollow phalanx, he was in a bit of a dilemma. Although a large-scale cavalry charge was powerful, if it hit the infantry forming a phalanx head-on, it would definitely cost huge casualties. Valuable troops were wasted on the impact of the anti-cavalry phalanx.

So Vaughan quickly changed his plans.
