Chapter Twenty-One: A Steady Stream of Heavy Artillery

As a result, there is a joint guarantee of He Yang and Song Dacheng. Since then, Kaohsiung has been looking forward to the sixth young master coming every day, not for anything else, but to prove himself.

Today, I finally saw the sixth young master, and I also got the Type 92 and pistol that I wanted to touch but couldn't touch before, how could I not cry and run without tears.

patted Kaohsiung on the shoulder and said, "Good job!" In the future, the navy will still be handed over to you. ”

This is not for comfort, but Kaohsiung has a charm on his body, a personality charm that can attract others to convince him, just from this point of view, Yue Guang still lacks some experience, so at present, it is natural to appoint this person as the head of the navy.

A good sentence made Kaohsiung even more unable to cry, but no one around laughed at him, because they also came out like this.

appeased Kaohsiung, and went to meet the members of the new Leng Feng, and each of them issued a ninety-five style as usual, which was naturally a happy scene for everyone. At the same time, I know from Kaohsiung's mouth that in the past six months, since they had new weapons, they have successively defeated several nearby pirates, and also gathered some talents, and the number has increased from less than 30 people at the earliest to more than 300 today.

Of course, all the personnel are young and strong, and they have no worries, which fully meets Yang Chendong's previous recruitment requirements.

This is a helpless thing. Before you don't have enough strength, it's easy to expose someone who is looking for someone to lead the family. One day, when you have your own real base, you can find someone with a family, and even all the soldiers have to start a family, which is sustainable development.

And this real base, Yang Chendong already has a goal, that is, the Red Embedded City not far from Fuzhou.

Today, the city has not been developed much, and the residents of the entire city are only tens of thousands. But with hundreds of battles and tens of thousands, even if you win, you will not be able to hold it. "Kaohsiung, you have to continue to expand your strength and recruit troops. There's no problem with silver, right? ”

"Report to the sixth young master, there is no problem with the silver, we have robbed a lot, and we are still rich, and when the sixth young master goes back, you can take some with you, hehe, the weapons are a little insufficient, and the number of shells is also a little insufficient." Touching his head, Kaohsiung looked embarrassed.

With the Type 87 automatic grenade launcher, it is naturally extremely enjoyable to fight other pirates. With 6 by 30 times the official telescope in hand, often the enemy is able to strike preemptively and attack before they have even detected them.

Of course, it was a big victory, and the enemy was already lost in a moment. But then came the problem, which was that the number of shells consumed was a little too much. Often when there is a war, Kaohsiung is shouting vigorously, bomb me, bomb me. But when the battle is over, he will scold his mother, saying that these boys are too bad to pass, how many shells have been fired in this battle, and so on.

When there is a war, everyone doesn't know what to do. So there was a hand-to-hand combat, and even the eighty-one bar was reluctant to shoot a bullet, but took a primitive bow and arrow, for which a brother was wounded in one battle. People couldn't solve the problem by using guns.

Listening to Kaohsiung and Yue Guang's reports, Yang Chendong shook his head, "That's not right." Do you know that a soldier's life is always the most valuable, and weapons are just a means of aid? Weapons are gone, they can be made, bullets are gone, they can be produced, and this time I mobilized craftsmen to solve this problem. But if a soldier has no life, then there really is nothing, understand? ”

Yang Chendong said harshly, and Kaohsiung, Yue Guang and others who listened were also excited.

They feel proud to have such a master. They also know that they don't have to be too stingy with shells and bullets in the next war, so that the safety of the soldiers is more guaranteed.

These words also invisibly enhanced the identities of Li Shunfu and Wu Gang and others, and I believe that no one will treat them badly in the future, let alone trouble them.

Next, in order to put Kaohsiung and Yue Guang at ease, Yang Chendong asked Hu Mang to unload the new cannons and additional shells and bullets brought by Hu Mang one by one.

Type 04 35 mm automatic grenade launcher, weighing 48 kg, 1023 mm long, effective distance 1750 meters, 30 rounds capacity.

Type 75 82-mm recoilless gun, effective attack range 2000 meters; Type 75 105 mm seatless gun with an effective range of 7400 meters.

The reason for the choice of howitzers and recoilless guns is due to the fact that the hull bearing capacity of the Navy is taken into account, otherwise, there will be more options. In this way, the damage to the ship itself when the cannonball is fired is very small, and at least it will not capsize the ship because of this.

Suddenly, there was a new three-type artillery, and Kaohsiung and Yue Guang were naturally excited. Even Leng Song, Tengshan and others also saw it in their eyes and were greedy in their hearts. It's just that today's army doesn't need these things at all, even if some soldiers have been selected from the navy recently, the number is still less than thirty, and there is really no need for such personnel to be equipped with such sharp artillery.

"The artillery is given to you, non-veterans can't operate it, as for those new joiners, you can give them cross steel and crossbows to use first, when have you passed the assessment of Leng Feng and become a regular soldier, you can match the gun, this is the principle, do you understand?" Yang Chendong looked at everyone's elated appearance and began to pour cold water.

He must not let those who have just joined get their hands on the guns, in that case, once there is any infighting, it will be an irreparable loss.

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison. For the Sixth Young Master, everyone has great respect for them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his words are holy decrees here.

"Also, the cannon was given to you, and the gun was given to you, but the amount of ammunition is limited, and I can't stay here for long, and what if you use too much? Then find a way to be self-sufficient. The blacksmiths will be your suppliers. With their current capabilities, it is absolutely impossible to build guns, but it should be solved with a little effort to make ammunition. In short, what they need, you have to find a way to get it. Except that you can't shoot on land, things at sea are up to you. ”

The Ming Dynasty is still forbidden to the sea, so naturally they are not worried about doing something to provoke them, so it is okay to move at sea even if it is bigger.

"Understood." I heard that the blacksmith could get the ammunition, and if it was successful, the weapons would be even more powerful. For a while, everyone assured that the needs of the blacksmith were everyone's needs, and they would not hold back.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their positions, Yang Chendong was relieved. "I'm still relieved that you guys are doing things. In addition, clear this sea area as soon as possible, and at the same time send people to the Red Embedded City to investigate the situation, to get a detailed map of the city's defense, but also to sneak in, once the time is right, we should take advantage of the outside. ”

"This is good, this is good." As soon as he heard that this was going to open up territory, Kaohsiung was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Now the place where they stay is called Black Pier, and the reason why they took this name is enough to prove that he has no light, and if he has his own island, he can do whatever he wants, and he does not have to be as afraid as he is now, for fear that one day someone will find out and swallow him.

Seeing that everyone was very concerned about the matter of fighting Chiji City, Yang Chendong knew that the military spirit was available, and once the opportunity was ripe, these people would be evil wolves, and they would exert infinite combat power. "Okay, didn't you say a few new ships? Check it out. ”

In the bay of the Black Pier, there are eight boats, large and small. Among them, there were two larger ships of the fourth class, and six ships of the fifth class.

From the original two ships to the current eight, it proves the efforts of Kaohsiung and Yue Guang and others. Yang Chendong praised this, but put forward a request, saying that it was not enough, from the number of personnel to the number of warships.

In this regard, Kaohsiung and Xiao Shan immediately expressed their position, saying that with the addition of new artillery, they will immediately go to sea and grow stronger.

The previous Type 87 grenade launcher, which could hit up to 1750 meters, was called a mini infantry gun, and its power was there, but it was still a little smaller. But now that they have a recoilless gun that can fire at a distance of 7,400 meters, they are naturally full of confidence. This shows that they can strike at the enemy ships from a long distance, and before the people arrive, they will be frightened first, and then they will go into battle at close range, which will naturally be invincible.

Yang Chendong was a little funny when he saw that everyone was full of confidence. The weapons of later generations are fighting the cold weapons of today, and occasionally encounter artillery, at most the kind of front-loading smoothbore guns that are loaded from the muzzle and have no rifling in the breech, which is really not challenging.

The inspection of the black pier gave Yang Chendong a better understanding of his strength. The number of formal members who have passed the Leng Feng assessment has reached nearly 70, and some are passing the assessment and preparing for the assessment, so it is only a matter of time before they pass the 100 mark. Maybe it won't be long before the number of people will reach hundreds or even more, and then he will have a certain ability to protect himself. In the distribution of their advanced weapons, even if someone wants to disadvantage them, they are just looking for death.

Of course, before all this becomes a reality, it is still necessary to keep a low profile, and even to please some people. After thinking about it, the gift sent to the great eunuch Wang Zhen should also go to Jingshi (Beijing).

The capital, also known as Shuntianfu, at this time in a courtyard not far from the palace, the old housekeeper Yang Hai saw Wang Zhen with a strained face.

Wang Zhen, the eunuch of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's side. He used to be the director of the East Palace, serving the crown prince, who was later Emperor Yingzong, compared himself to the Duke of Zhou, and even Emperor Ming Yingzong affectionately called him Mr., which can be described as a stable and exclusive power.
