Chapter 47: The Eve of War 1

readx;?“ Tomorrow our army units will go to the port of Champa to participate in the battle, are you all ready? Yang Minghuan, who was sitting in the conference room, asked several veteran army commanders in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No problem," Li Jieqi nodded, and Xiao Mingyuan next to him stood up and said, "Tomorrow, the first company of the army will be stationed in charge, and the second and third companies will be on standby in the woods two kilometers west of Champa Port. ”

"Lucci?" Du Yande couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Why did he get to the army?" ”

"He commanded the first battle of the new army in Champa last time against the barbarian army, and his report claimed that it was the princess's brutal interference that caused his orders to be unable to be communicated, and finally led to defeat, and he wanted to prove to Champa that he had command talent by directing this battle." Li Jieqi immediately explained to Du Yande. "He does have command skills."

"Gaming talent, right?" Du Yande couldn't help but sneer, "I've heard that this guy is very good at fighting a full-scale war, but war is not a game, and tomorrow's battle will be fought against a thousand enemies with the strength of only two companies, which is dozens of times the enemy." Although this guy has command experience, I don't believe he can take it down. ”

"But almost none of us here have actual command experience, even Uncle Xiao only commanded a company in Vietnam back then, and the highest rank of our veterans of the military group did not exceed that of captain," Li Jieqi's voice immediately lowered when he said this, "I'm afraid we really can't do a commanding at the battle level like tomorrow." ”

"I'll go!" Yang Minghuan almost screamed, "You veterans of the military group haven't eaten pork, so you've seen pigs run, right?" Let a veteran of the Ministry of Commerce who plays games come out and command a campaign? How much does it cost us to train an army soldier? If a mistake leads to the loss of a large number of soldiers, this is not a game! Dead without reading the file! ”

The people in the military group couldn't help but look at each other for a while. In fact, they really don't have confidence, tomorrow's battle is known as a battle of 10,000 people, and those who engage in wargames have used the game to deduce several times, no matter how they fight, the best result is just a miserable victory. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't have made Lu Qimao, a game enthusiast, recommend himself to be tomorrow's campaign commander.

"Comrades!" Du Yande nodded at Yang Minghuan, stood up and said, "As the sword of our Senate, you are an absolutely important force in our Senate, the fortress of attack and defense, if you are not confident in your own talents, and the command of this first battle is handed over to the comrades of the Ministry of Commerce to operate, how will history be written in the future?" As he spoke, he walked to the center of the conference room, he pointed to Xiao Mingwei and said: "Uncle Xiao, you have fought with the Vietnamese army on the battlefield with real swords and guns, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, hundreds against thousands of battles, that is a mistake that cannot be made, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Mingwei hurriedly stood up and nodded at Du Yande, "Yes, Comrade Executive Committee." ”

"Then I propose that Comrade Xiao Mingwei be the commander of this campaign, and Comrade Li Jieqi is the second command, if Comrade Xiao Mingwei is not suitable for command......" Du Yande said and hurriedly squeezed out a smile apologetically at Xiao Mingwei.

"I know," Xiao Mingwei stood up again. "It doesn't matter, soldiers are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the country, and we should be even more so as veterans! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Du Yande hurriedly stood up and saluted Xiao Mingwei, "You're right!" If we don't let our soldiers go to war, the army of our Senate will be disgraced in the future history! I'm sure none of you here want to see that happen! ”

"Yes!" All the military elders present immediately stood up and saluted. Liu Lihua even stretched out his right arm and walked forward with a German salute, which made everyone embarrassed for a while. Although this is a new time and space, and Hitler's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather has not yet been born, the sleeve on the right wrist of the dark blue military uniform is still very conspicuous. "Serve the Senate!"

"The Senate's suppression of the senators began with the first campaign, and my military command skills were already evident in the first time when the Annam army, which was not well trained to command, fought against the Nanbans, but they still did not trust my ability, and even deprived me of command after appointing me as the commander-in-chief of the first campaign. This was an extremely short-sighted act, and it also laid the groundwork for the heavy casualties in the first battle. Whenever I look up at the starry sky, I will recall the heroic figures of the army soldiers who wielded the broken rifles in their hands, or fought with the brutes with their bare hands, they were immortal, but they were also helpless, and they were the 'negligible losses' caused by Yang Minghuan and Du Yande's cultivation of the army. - Lu Qi, "My Life in the Senate", Volume 1, "The Battle of Pingnan"

"Lu Qi's description in "The Battle of Pingnan" is aimed at the slander of the Senate, in March 1629 in the battle of An Yun in the south of the bandits, his rigid style of play and disregard for the lives of soldiers, as long as he won the medal, I deeply appreciate the foresight of the first executive committee members of the Senate, I will always remember the words of the executive committee member Du, 'The person who plays the game well will definitely not be able to really command a battle or even a battle, because he has digitized the casualties of the soldiers, and the person who has really won the war on the battlefield, It is never a commander, but a soldier who obeys orders. This sentence is always worthy of the attention of all the officers of the military system of the Senate, and it is always the military who influences the situation of the war, not the representative of the Ministry of Commerce. -- Li Jieqi, "The Army Rolls Forward", Volume 1, "Soldier, You Are the Rising Star of the Future"

…………………………

"Lao Lin, what do you want me to do?" Du Yande was pulled to the arsenal by Lin Shenhe on a motorcycle at night, and entered the factory after registering at the door. The production hall has clearly been expanded here, and several more production plants are being expanded in the distance.

Lin Shenhe was obviously a little dissatisfied with this "old Lin", "I'm in the golden age now, right?" I'm only in my thirties, just like the sun at ** o'clock in the morning. Saying that, he took Du Yande to the door of a workshop, and Du Yande remembered that this was an artillery production workshop.

The door opened, and many workers inside were nervously operating the machines for artillery processing. Several workers are hoisting a thick iron column onto a large boring machine using a primitive overhead crane.

"You see, the steel sent by the Ministry of Metallurgy today, this kind of steel has been tested and can reach the strength of 900 megapascals, which is very suitable for making artillery." Lin Shenhe pointed to the thick iron pillar, "They have also used a forging hammer machine to process, it must be stronger, and the specific data can only be tested after the cannon is built, but this is already the best steel that our industrial system can provide." He was excited, and Du Yande could clearly see his eyebrows fluttering as he spoke.

"So the artillery will be able to come out soon?" Du Yande was also very excited, whether it was the army or the navy, there were already many veterans of the military department wandering around in front of him, explaining to him how the army or navy urgently needed artillery, and he was already tired of it. Moreover, the army and navy will not miss every opportunity to attack each other when they are in a meeting, especially after Wu Di and Xue Ziliang formed the Marine Corps.

Lin Shenhe shook his head, "It's not that fast, we need to build a sample cannon first, then test the shot, and then check the effect of the hammer forging tube." At the same time, you may also want to try casting cannons, both of which will check the differences between the two methods of making cannons. Then, after the test shooting is completed, both guns are tested for tube life. After that, mass production can begin. He patted on the iron pillar as he spoke, "The processing personnel of this cannon are all veterans, absolute senate Seiko products!" However, after mass production, the quality may deteriorate. ”

As the iron pillars on the boring machine began to spin rapidly, several elders of the heavy industry sector nervously operated the machinery, so that the cutter heads slowly moved towards the iron pillars, which could not be done by the indigenous naturalized people. Although they brought a lot of alloy cutter heads, but they can never be produced in a short time, and one is one less, you must know that these veterans who learned machining used boring machines to process wood can break the alloy cutter bits.

With a piercing sound of metal rubbing, Du Yande couldn't help but feel the urge to cover his ears. Lin Shenhe knew at a glance that Du Yande couldn't stand it, and hurriedly pulled him out of the factory.

"Don't worry about this cannon, our strongest industrial forces are here, and it won't take long for the results to be produced." Lin Shenhe proudly patted Du Yande on the shoulder.

Du Yande didn't think about this at this time, "How many flying thunder cannons will be in the battle tomorrow?" ”

"This," Lin Shenhe nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, there are three doors, all of them are newly made, and they have been test-fired, so they must be fine." As long as those guys don't reload, they'll be fine. He smiled mysteriously again, "I've got a good thing too, you're sure to like it." As he spoke, he took Du Yande to the door of another factory and opened the door.

There are two trucks parked inside, this kind of truck looks like it is produced in this time and space, because the wheels used in this truck are not rubber, but a whole circle of springs on the wheel frame with a larger iron hoop, at this time Sun Wenbin's farm has planted a lot of rubber saplings, but this thing has to take six or seven years to tap rubber, even if Shili's coal chemical industry provides artificial rubber is at least two or three years later, now there is no hope at all, so Lin Shenhe used this kind of iron hoop wheel on the German truck during World War I.

"It's time to run out now, or I'll be able to build you a tank." Lin Shenhe walked over and patted the engine position of the truck, "This kind of truck uses eight sets of Stirling engines, the output power is not high, it can only carry about a ton of things, and it is greatly affected by fuel. I have this in the rear of the car now. As he spoke, he pointed to the back of the truck. At this time, Du Yande found that a flying thunder cannon was fixed with a bracket at the rear of the truck.
