"With your father and daughter, I won't have a bright day! Don't gloat over the defeated generals, maybe you're not as good as me! It is precisely because of the special military system of Jeju Island that Jiang Erlang does not care whether he is the deputy commander or the regiment commander at all.
Along the way, he actually did the work of a regiment commander, and there was no regiment commander in the new army on Jeju Island, except for him and Xiao Wuna, the highest position was the company commander, and it was not a bad thing to become the first regiment commander.
In the era when there was no war, soldiers were slow to upgrade, so as soon as they heard that they were going to war, the new army on Jeju Island did not feel the melancholy of leaving their homeland at all, let alone feeling that there was anything to be wronged in fighting for others, and even hoped to rush to the battlefield more than the Song people, so that they would have more opportunities to make war merits, be promoted and raised.
"I really let Erlang say it accurately, General Xiao will lead a regiment to help the king break the queen. Remember, try to pick as many Tammar soldiers as possible. This is called the Present World Newspaper, and Xiao Wuna's smile froze on his face before it fully bloomed.
"My lord, do you not believe in the ability of the subordinate or do you look down on the Tamluo soldiers? They are a little shorter, but General Chiang's navy is no match for land battles, and they are just slightly more skilled in summoning artillery! ”
This job is the most boring and dangerous after the break, it doesn't matter to you how you fight in front, but once the army wants to transfer the position, the broken troops will have to be the last to go, and the chance of being surrounded by the enemy and attacking is much greater, Xiao Wuna is really not willing to do this drudgery.
"On the contrary, this king thinks that Lord Xiao can judge the situation before entrusting him with a heavy responsibility. What you need to guard against may not be the Western Xia people, but the Great Song Forbidden Army. Tamluo Bing will not have any distracting thoughts when he sees the Song people, and Lord Xiao, I am afraid that you will not have the slightest pity for the Song people, so it is most suitable for Lord Xiao to do this work. ”
Hong Tao really wasn't playing with Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna, and the tasks assigned to the two of them were very targeted. Jiang Erlang was born in special forces back then, and he really didn't have any record in frontal combat, but no one could beat him in terms of his ability to steal chickens and dogs to detect the enemy's situation. Let him lead the forward regiment basically without worrying too much about being ambushed by the enemy, it is not clear that he ambushed the enemy.
Let Xiao Wuna go to the break, it will be more particular, whether it is Jiang Erlang, Wang Da, Wang Qi, in principle, they are all Song people, if they really fight with the Great Song army, who dares to guarantee that they will not hesitate when facing their compatriots.
A moment's hesitation on the battlefield can ruin the fate of an army, and Shaw Wooder simply does not have this problem. If you want to ask him who he hates the most, Da Song must be in the top three, but he didn't dare to make a mistake because of the pressure of Hong Tao.
Once he has the opportunity to fight the army of the Song Dynasty, he must be full of energy, and if he can kill two, he will never die one less, let alone worry about being soft, there is no such possibility.
"Really...... Anyway, Xiao's life was given by an adult, and he should be infamous a little bit! Xiao Wuna really didn't have any worries about shooting the Song people, but as soon as he heard Hong Tao's explanation, he immediately understood what the situation was with this dispatch.
For this kind of thing he instinctively resisted, the Liao State was greatly damaged because of infighting, but I didn't expect the Great Song Dynasty to be able to escape this strange circle, if it weren't for the great favor, he really wanted to take the troops back, rather than mixing with this kind of bad things in other people's homes, it is better to go to the Korean Peninsula to expand the territory.
"Boss, I'll leave the rest to you, the seventh commands the artillery, and I'll give you a reserve." After arranging the end of the day, Hong Tao has nothing to worry about. You have to find professionals to do everything, and you can grasp the general direction, but your command ability on the battlefield is really not as good as Wang's.
Wang Da is indeed professional, and the first thing he did was to raise the hot air balloon. In the plains, this thing is an ancient satellite, and with telescopes and flags, it can gain insight into the changes in the enemy situation for more than ten miles around.
However, Wang Da is much sunnier than Hong Tao, her hot air balloon is gray, not deliberately blacked out to make people play, and there is a red Arabic numeral on it, which represents the position of the hot air balloon, which is prepared for future large-scale battles.
At that time, there may be several hot air balloons rising from a distance of several miles at the same time, and when passing information to each other, they can quickly find the corresponding location on the map according to the number, which is convenient for command.
As the hot air balloons continued to climb, the new army, which had originally lined up in five columns on the post road, also began to spread out to the two wings under the command of the trumpet. Each company formed three horizontal rows, ten horizontal formations in a group, and two groups on each side, and then listened to the sound of the trumpet and stepped on the field to advance.
What, you can't harm the people with a stitch and a thread...... Don't talk nonsense, this is a desperate war, who cares about what acres of land is not acres, and if you can not deliberately damage it, you are a good soldier.
"The general is in such a formation, and there is no box truck to help, isn't it too thin."
Everyone around Hong Tao was busy, even Wang Qi took the people from his headquarters to unload the equipment from the box truck, only Gao Cuifeng didn't have a. Isn't the ancients cloudy, idlers are idlers at this time.
"Xia Shu, don't panic, the current new army is no longer the new army of the year, you see that the things they are at the mercy of Lao Qi are the new palm thunder that this king has cast, which is much more powerful than thunderbolts. As long as it is available, the foot soldiers can defeat the cavalry in the field, without resorting to any terrain and weather. Wait to see a good show, if the Xixia people don't come, let them know that they know how powerful they are. The ancients, your uncle is still your uncle, but there are a few more aunts, hehehe......"
Gao Cuifeng's worries are precisely Hong Tao's proudness, the previous new army needed to drag the box cart together in the field, and it would be restrained when it encountered areas where the ground was too poor.
The current new army cannot be said to have completely gotten rid of the box car, but it no longer needs to be dragged to the field as a cover, and has become a pure means of transport. And the new army has one more weapon, Wang Qi and they are moving down from the box truck.
The black, thigh-thick iron pipes, which were about four feet long and thigh-thick, were placed on a T-shaped steel frame, and two spoked wheels, which were smaller but much wider than the wheels of the box car, hung behind the box car and drove along the post road in a string.
This is the rear-loading smoothbore gun that Hong Tao sharpened for ten years, the caliber is only three inches like the naval gun, but the length is shortened, only three feet and seven inches, which can reduce the weight of the gun body by about one-sixth.
More than 100 catties on a large ship is nothing, but on land, it is better to shorten the firing range than to reduce the weight, otherwise there is no way to follow the army at all, and there is no field artillery.
That's right, it's called a field gun, the full name is the Type 1091 three-inch field howitzer, with a two-pound full-charge bag, you can launch a six-pound four-tael hollow grenade three miles away, and one-third of the charge fires a shotgun with a range of more than 300 steps.
In fact, this is an imitation of Napoleon's 12-pounder field gun, and it is not very similar to it, with a lot of differences in caliber, length, thickness, and material, and it is generally a purpose, to make and reduce weight.
The traditional Napoleonic 12-pounder gun was a front-loading bronze cannon, which weighed more than a ton including the gun carriage and gun carriage, and if you added the box car loaded with shells, two horses could choke and pull on not particularly smooth roads.
The Type 91 field gun was cast from four to five layers of gray cast iron from the inside to the outside, and with the inner membrane cooling technology, these layers of cast iron became tighter and tighter the texture was the further inside. The structural strength is improved, and the gun wall can be made thinner. Moreover, cast iron is lighter than bronze, and the weight of the gun body is less than 800 catties.
Coupled with the careful calculation of the gun carriage and gun carriage, the weight of the whole gun was controlled at about 1,500 catties, and the two horses with the box car and 30 shells could fully cope with it.
In addition to size, weight, range, and material, the biggest difference between the Type 91 field gun and the Napoleonic gun is the loading method. The Napoleon gun was a front-loading smoothbore gun, while the Type 91 field gun had a wedge-shaped bolt at the tail and was a rear-loading smoothbore gun.
Although spherical shells were still used, the reloading speed was more than twice as fast as that of the front-loading guns, with an average rate of fire of four rounds per minute, and six to seven rounds per minute for rapid fire, but not for too long, as the barrel would heat up.
Originally, Huang Huai'an tried to produce a rifled cannon, which can greatly reduce the chamber pressure, and with the same charge, the conical cannonball can be fired to a longer distance, and the accuracy is also high.
However, the manufacture of this kind of cannon barrel is very difficult, and even the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty has a high scrap rate, which is not suitable for a large number of equipment. Another important problem is that there is no suitable primer, and the ignition method of using the Hodchsky grenade is not very successful. Under the trade-off, Hongtao still chose the three low products with low manufacturing cost, low technical requirements and low difficulty to use.
