"I think so too. The first regiment equipped with the Brave Rifle can easily defeat the enemy's resistance by using the prone aiming and shooting method. Tell the brothers below to be ready to do a big deal!"

Barnard nodded, and confirmed some specific issues with His Highness the Prince, and went out to convey His Highness the Prince's orders. Elliott was left alone and picked up the information he placed on the table.

"Steam cannon?..."

——————————————

"Fighting up", Eddy Geely, the commander of the 2nd Company of the First Regiment of the First Division of the Three Guards, held his beloved Brave rifle and looked at the battle situation ahead. Although it was not time for them to appear, after so long a stalemate outside the city of Oridri, Eddy Geely was full of fighting spirit.

What's more, he has such a perverted weapon.

"When they tear open the defense line, we can go up."

The deputy company commander of the Second Company, Ramon Geely, and Eddy Geely's younger brother, also answered nervously. Although the gas cylinder of the Brave Rifle was already full of gas, the two still turned on the steam engine of the steam backpack, hoping to make complete preparations.

"Ao—"

A burst of cheers came from the front, and the enemy's first iron shield defense line was torn open, and many soldiers began to rush in through the opening, which then triggered rows of neat gunfire inside.

The reason why the iron shield defense line is called the iron shield defense line is that in addition to the iron shield that can resist rifle lead bullets, the rafting infantry placed in the continuous multi-layer iron shield defense line can well suppress the enemies rushing in from one or two small gaps. Because the formation cannot be expanded, the soldiers who rush into the first iron shield defense line will be quickly killed, and it is difficult for the attacker to get in touch with the second iron shield defense line.

"Breakthrough, rush!"

Seeing that his opportunity came, Eddie Geely rushed forward with his team. The soldiers who had already known the combat arrangements gave up the way, and the gap opened by the person attacking in front soon appeared in front of Aidi.

"Kill me!!!!!!"

With a loud shout, Eddie rushed through the gap, and what caught her eye were the red and gray soldiers standing in a row. Eddie could see the volleyball guns they were holding flat and the flag bearers standing next to these volleyball gunmen.

"Let's go down!!!"

As soon as he rushed into the gap, Eddie issued an order according to the previous tactical exercise. Immediately afterwards, it was like the wind blown down on the lawn, and more than a hundred people who rushed in followed him all fell to the ground.

The enemy's lead bullet flew over the top of their heads and shot into the unknown distance behind them.

"Aim, shoot!!! Free shooting!"

The soldiers of the first regiment in the scattered rank began to lie on the ground and shoot. The gas cylinders of the Brave Rifle made regular hissing sounds, shooting the bullets at their respective targets. Because they could not aim at the lying enemy and were unable to cover them because of the relationship between the queue, the soldiers of the Roninger army, who were responsible for defense, were disorganized in front of these strange enemies. They were soon knocked down by the enemy's rapid and fierce firepower, and they didn't even know how to launch a counterattack.

"Stay steady, keep calm! Keep the firepower!"

Eddie Geely shouted loudly and replaced a magazine on the rifle. At the beginning, he didn't like this strange posture of shooting on his tumbling. Although the steam backpack behind him was much lighter than the Type 27, he could still feel its weight when he was lying on. Moreover, for the traditional Ankenry for combat honor, lying on his tumbling is a very irresistible way.

However, as the exercise deepened and the understanding of the Brave Rifle deepened, Eddie Geely gradually got used to this method. Leaning down can reduce the possibility of the enemy hitting him and facilitate aiming. If you use the Brave Rifle, the hit rate is much higher than that of standing and shooting a queuing gun.

The gunshots continued, and Eddie's first regiment had basically rushed in at this time. They dispersed in fan shape, kneeling or lying down, and had basically eliminated the enemies lined up to kill the opponent. The losses on their own were still zero.

The queuing and shooting tactics have high requirements for the queue. When the enemy queue between the first iron shield defense line and the second iron shield defense line was disrupted by the first regiment, the battle situation entered a more balanced state. The soldiers who rushed in later fought with the enemy. Moreover, due to the existence of the first regiment, the war quickly turned into a massacre.

Forty minutes after the war began, the enemy gave up the first iron shield defense line.

"Continue attack!!!"

The order from behind followed closely. At this time, Eddie Geely had empty eight of his ten magazines. The steam backpack on his back was making a unique running sound, inflating his high-pressure gas cylinder. The other soldiers were in similar situations to him, and everyone gathered at the first gap for a small rest.

"How to fight?" Ramon Geely looked at her brother, "We don't have enough ammunition."

"Go back and get it, it will take time for them to tear the hole."

"The First Regiment, where is the First Regiment? Ammunition is here!!!"

The decision to go back to get the ammunition was just made, and before they even took action, the soldiers in the rear transported what they needed most. At this point, the first regiment was no longer deficient. They quickly equipped the ammunition. In order to increase their power, some soldiers even brought themselves fifteen and twenty magazines in one breath. After completing the supply, they rested for a while, and then they saw their side tearing a hole in the enemy's second iron shield chest wall defense line with awesomeness.

"Run!!!!"

Eddie stood up and started trotting with a steam backpack on her back. The Brave Rifle in his hand swung back and forth with his movements, like a deadly god of death.

——————————————

"We broke through the enemy's iron shield chest wall defense line on the west side of Oridri, with a casualty rate of less than 20%.

At the brief summary meeting after the war, Prince Eliot looked happy, "This casualty rate basically means no casualties! When the Roninger army in the north broke through my brother's defense line, the damage rate once exceeded 40%, and a large number of troops were crippled and killed. Now, less than 20% of the people died. In the era of queuing and shooting, this was a miracle! And, more importantly, only three people in our first regiment died, because of the opponent's stray bullets! I think this offensive battle has proved the strength of the first regiment and the effectiveness of this straggling tactic. I suggest starting an attack on Auridri as soon as possible!"

The generals of the Guards and the three generals who attended the meeting had no objection to Prince Eliot's proposal. After everyone improved the relevant tactics, they decided to launch an attack on Oridri the next day, and ended the meeting. Prince Eliot returned to his residence and met Billy Barnard, the attendant waiting for him in the reception room.

"Tell Gastenth, I want as much as his Brave rifle. And, keep this matter confidential and don't disclose it to too many people."

"This..." Barnard was a little embarrassed, "Now many people are asking about the source of this weapon. Although we will not take the initiative, you know about keeping a secret, Your Highness..."

"Okay", Elliot also knew that his request was a bit difficult. He thought about it and relaxed his request. "In short, just try to control the spread of information, especially on the other side. Never let them know the origin of this weapon, do you know?"

"Understood."

"Okay, you can go to Alena as soon as possible and get all the output in the next stage. Do you understand? No matter what the price you pay, you must get it!"

———————————————

"The results of the last two battles, the Thorn Hills Defense War and the Oridi offensive battle have proved one thing." At Elena's council meeting every night, Gastenth spent a little time analyzing the progress of weapons. "With the passing of the magic era, conventional steam weapons are entering a stage of rapid development. Whether it is the Brave Rifle we provide to Prince Eliot or the steam cannon made by the Niglu Republic, it means that the content, methods and tools of the war are undergoing rapid changes. Although our Luoshan and Thunder One are in the leading position in design concepts, this leading position is not foolproof. In the revolutionary work, you must be clear that although the weapons are good, the people are still the ones who decide the outcome of the war!"

The comrades attending the meeting listened very seriously, and many people were still taking notes. Seeing that no one asked a question, Sink raised his hand.

"you say."

"Sir, you said that it was the man who decided the victory or defeat of the war, but the war between the Thorns and Hills was the steam cannon of the Republic of Negro that knocked open the defense line of the Western Theater Command. And the attack of Auredri was also our Brave Rifle that broke the deadlock. Judging from this result, it seems that weapons are more important than humans?"

"What you said makes sense," Gastenth nodded, appreciating what Sink said and said, "But have you ever thought about a question. If we don't have these weapons and tools, do we still want to revolution? Do we still want to liberate serfs?"

"…then…of course!”

Sink hesitated for a moment, and suddenly understood what Gastens wanted to say. Gastens looked at him and smiled with relief.

"Tools are good things. With good tools, we can avoid many detours. But even without good tools, the historical process cannot be changed. The proletariat will replace the bourgeoisie, and communist production relations will replace the capitalist production relations. In this historical process, we must become promoters, not countercurrents. We will strive to obtain more useful tools and favorable conditions, but these things are not necessary conditions for launching a revolution. We must recognize this clearly!"

The comrades who were sitting listened carefully, and from time to time more people stood up to ask questions. Gastenth answered one by one, very patient. He knew that under his leadership, the revolutionaries in this world had many advantages. However, he did not want these advantages to erase the revolutionary will of the comrades. Therefore, he unified everyone's thoughts through this small class at the end of the council.
