Here 追撃 seems to be used as follow up attacks, or combo. According to the
kanjis, it would definitely make sense, but every dictionary I'm looking at is
translating it to "chase" or "pursuit".

**Edit** : This other definition is very clear in Japanese dictionaries, but
Japanese-English dictionaries all translate it to "pursuit" without mentioning
the second definition or the nuance. The first definition seems to also imply
some kind of hit, so I think even "pursuit" is not enough to convey the full
meaning. It's literally "follow-up attack to a weak or fleeing enemy" in one
word. "Pursuit" in English is simply 追う.

Can 追撃 be used as following attacks?
Yes, it can. You may want to look at
