From the posture of these Flying Tiger Army soldiers holding those weapons, it seemed to be a long-range weapon. But why were they just holding them level and doing nothing?

Li Hongyun was also standing in formation. At that moment, he loudly said, "Hold steady—maintain formation—"

Standing in neat rows, moving forward and backward as one, no matter what happened, they couldn't retreat or open fire on their own. Violators would receive severe punishment.
