Struggle in Russia

In the wilderness, a group of black shadows slowly approached the quiet village with their guns in hand. Their movements are very gentle, for fear of making too much noise, they tiptoe like little thieves.

Although they were cautious, it seemed like that, but the effect really couldn't be said to be very good, because their formation was too dense, hundreds of people were divided into three teams to exercise in dense groups, and the goal was too big.

Needless to say, this was Frass' man. One company and two companies lead the way, and Daniel's three companies are hanging on the tail. The three major groups of horses and horses are crowded towards the village. There is no concealment at all. Unless Boris and the others are blind, it is impossible not to see .

Why not spread out and approach the village in a skirmish line? It's not that Fras is an amateur, but because of the limitations of weapons. As a unit that is still using musket-loading muskets, if you want to maintain the density of firepower and want to attack fortifications, you must form a dense formation.

Because the accuracy of the musket guns is too damned, basically you can only rely on luck at a distance of 100 meters, and you can only listen to it if you don't line up in a dense shooting formation. But to go into battle immediately and maintain the density of firepower, the only way is to form a group of people, including when marching, to form a tight formation so that when the order is heard, the formation can be changed quickly. fighting.

The opponent Frass was going to face was the regular army. Naturally, he didn't dare to be careless. He had to be ready for battle at any time, so he could only approach the village in a dense formation.

Of course, this was almost the end of the shooting formation. Soon in the Crimean War, the Russian army with old equipment was severely taught to be a man by the British and French troops who used breech-loading rifles.

Because of the use of new breech-loading rifles, the accuracy and shooting frequency of the British and French troops were far higher than those of the Russian army. In the dense formation, the Russian army naturally suffered a big loss and was killed by crazy mowing.

Of course, the performance of the British and French troops was not very good. Although the weapons they used were more advanced, they could not completely get rid of the tradition of queuing up and shooting, so you can see that these pig-headed commanders kept letting soldiers gather together to die, and they did not know how to repent until The unprecedented efficiency of machine guns in World War I completely awakened them, and only then did the dense formations be thrown into the garbage dump.

But Boris is different here. Although the performance of the Andrei Leonid rifle is not good, its accuracy and rate of fire are still far better than the old-fashioned smoothbore guns equipped in the Russian army. And there is Li Xiao, a traverser, who is helping to cheat, so he really has no enthusiasm for dense formations.

Although there are still drills of queues and formations in normal training, they are really only used to cope with military parades and superior inspections. In real battles, according to Li Xiao's requirements, the 748 regiment uses more loose formations of scattered soldiers .

Especially on densely populated streets,

The 748 regiment even asked to avoid getting together, and relied more on strong fortifications and complete defensive facilities, such as barricades and trenches to resist enemy attacks.

But Fraser's troops didn't have this awareness at all. They almost rushed into the narrow country road in a parade formation, and then approached the second company's garrison in a mess. To put it bluntly, this It was an act of suicide!

But Boris was not in a hurry. Even though he was really eager to fight, he knew the importance of closing the door and beating dogs. He let Fras's men go deep into the village and approached his camp, and waited patiently for the most appropriate time.

On the other side, Frass also entered the village with the rear troops, not because he was timid, but because he wanted to keep an eye on the third company as a reserve team. He really couldn't rest assured about this company. The only thing he can trust is his own guards.

This kind of big event must use the most reliable people, otherwise, if you miss it, you will really have endless troubles!

It's just that when Fraser entered the village, he stopped suddenly. His keen sixth sense seemed to have noticed something, and he felt inexplicable palpitations as soon as he entered this small village.

As for a veteran soldier who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, Frass immediately stabilized his figure and carefully looked at the village in front of him. His pair of gloomy triangular eyes shone with an unpredictable brilliance.

"Commander, what's the matter?"

Facing the questions from his subordinates, Frass did not speak, but looked more carefully at everything he could see, every house, every tree, every street corner, as long as he could see clearly, all of them were Watch carefully through a sieve.

After a while, he asked with some uncertainty: "Do you feel something is wrong?"

His confidantes didn't have such a keen sixth sense, so Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, so he could only imitate Frass and pretend to observe for a while, and then replied with a trace of uncertainty:

"I don't think there's anything wrong! Battalion Commander, what did you see?"

Frass frowned, and said impatiently: "If I really saw something, I still need to ask you!"

This made his subordinates even more at a loss. Since they didn't see anything, what was the reason for this surprise? Are you kidding us?

So they could only reply: "Battalion Commander, the third company has gone far away, if you don't follow up, it will be bad if that kid Daniel slips away."

Frass clicked his tongue and shook his head, as if he wanted to throw away the inexplicable palpitations. He took a deep breath and ordered, "Go ahead, keep an eye on that little bastard!"

Frass continued to move forward with the guards, but even though he said he wanted to see Daniel, his speed slowed down significantly, as if he was cautiously probing on the edge of a cliff.

"What's going on? Why are these guys so cautious? Have the people lurking at the entrance of the village been exposed?"

Boris was a little unhappy. He had good eyesight, and his eyes were as bright as a cat's at night, so he could still see clearly the scenes that others couldn't see. And Frass slowed down obviously, which is definitely not normal!

"No, the ambush position we set up is very hidden. Even if you observe carefully during the day, it is not easy to find it. It is even more hidden at night. It is impossible to be exposed like this!"

"And if the enemy really found the brothers at the entrance of the village, they shouldn't move forward. There must be other circumstances! Deputy company commander, do you want to send someone to observe?"

Boris did not agree with this suggestion, but ordered decisively: "Watch the fart! The enemy has entered the village, and sending people to observe is not a direct exposure! Inform all battle positions to prepare for battle, once the enemy escapes If there is a trend, you don’t have to wait for my order to fire directly!”
