Chapter 15 Uses of Dogs
After Chen Liyan took over the artillery regiment, he immediately began to train artillerymen. However, Chen Liyan soon found Wang Guorui again, and raised a problem that Wang Guorui didn't think of for a while, if this problem is not solved, then the artillery regiment will not be established!
"Lord Wang, this artillery regiment is good, but the problem is that they are unable to move! A howitzer of 75 mm caliber has more than 400 kilograms, and it is simply impossible to transport such a heavy gun by manpower. What's more, if you use manpower, not only will it take a long time, but also consume manpower very strictly, and then the soldiers will not be able to continue to use artillery to fight the enemy. Artillery, in particular, needs to be constantly transferred, and if it is not transferred it is doomed to be attacked by the enemy. So if we don't have enough capacity, then I'm afraid that this artillery will also be disposable! Chen Liyan said.
Wang Rui suddenly discovered an important problem, that is, the movement of artillery. The ability of the artillery to move is crucial, because the enemy will definitely analyze your ballistics, find the coordinates of your artillery, and then counterattack. Therefore, the artillery has to move frequently, and it can even be said that every time the launch is completed, it has to be moved. Otherwise, what awaits is the enemy's artillery counterattack. Once counterattacked by the enemy's artillery, most of your own artillery will be wiped out. After all, artillery is different from infantry, and infantry can dodge or even flee if they are shelled. However, if the artillery is shelled by the enemy, the shells on their own side will be detonated, and everyone will be killed at once. Therefore, once the artillery is exposed, the probability of being able to escape is very small. Therefore, the ability of the artillery to move is very important, and he is able to allow the artillery to move away quickly before it is exposed.
Later generations also invented something called self-propelled artillery for the mobility of this artillery, that is, specifically to speed up this movement process. However, at this time there were no self-propelled guns, they were all pulled by additional transport forces. But now Wang Guorui is also Yan zhòng lacks transportation capacity, after all, he does not have the ability to transport.
"Taiwan doesn't produce horses!" Wang Guorui complained.
In this era, horses are the ones that can be used for transportation. However, southern China has not been a place to produce war horses since ancient times, and there are some Sichuan and Yunnan horses, which are not high-quality war horses, and even the horses are barely good. As for Taiwan, not to mention, there are no horses capable of producing and living at all. And Taiwanese officials can't do one horse per person, let alone use it to transport artillery. What's more, even if all the horses from Taiwan are brought in, they may not be able to form an artillery regiment. After all, if you want to form an artillery regiment, you can't do it without hundreds of horses.
"I'll go back and think about it!" Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui immediately returned to Hsinchu County, ready to think about how to solve this important problem.
"Wow!"
Outside the county office, Wang Guorui's dog from the Red Police Force was welcoming Wang Guorui back.
"Huh? Isn't that a good capacity? Wang Guorui immediately thought.
Wang Guorui saw this dog and immediately remembered that this dog is not a thing that can be used for transportation? This dog is also a dog cloned from the red alarm system, this kind of dog Wang Guorui originally thought that they were not very useful, so he did not produce much. And if it weren't for the fact that this dog could have the function of identifying low-level spies, then Wang Guorui would have eliminated this so-called class of troops a long time ago. This kind of dog is actually very powerless against high-level spies, and only ordinary spies can identify it.
But Wang Guorui only remembered now that this kind of dog was modified by the red alarm system through guò gene technology, and he added the genes of many other species, although it seems to be just a dog, but he has integrated the excellent genes of many other species. The bite force of this dog's mouth is very strong, and although it does not look large, the bite force is almost equal to that of a lion. In addition, they have noses that are countless times more sensitive than ordinary dogs, and can sense those dangers to themselves. According to later research, if a person has malicious intentions towards someone, then there will be a special smell on his body. The vast majority of animals can't smell this smell, and these dogs in the red police system can smell this smell, so the vast majority of ordinary reconnaissance troops and spies can't hide it.
And even more powerful is their strength and endurance, their strength and endurance are no less than a horse, although they seem to be very weak, but they can pull what a horse can pull. If you can have two dogs, it will be very easy to pull the artillery. An artillery piece is only more than 400 kilograms, and if it is pulled by wheels, it can be pulled with relatively little force, and a dog can pull it completely.
Two hours later, Wang Guorui arrived at the artillery regiment, and he was followed by a dozen dogs.
"Lord Wang, you said that these dogs are the ones who can pull the cart?" Chen Liyan asked.
Wang Guorui immediately said: "Yes, don't look at this dog's thin body, but he is definitely not weak when he pulls things!" ”
Soon, Wang Guorui also put these dogs on the strap that Wang Guorui had just found someone to make, and then tried to pull a cannon. And that Chen Liyan immediately looked at this one in shock, a dog actually pulled a cannon, and the speed was not slow. Chen Liyan was shocked, what kind of dogs are these, and their strength is so great. It is obviously shocking that dogs with such strength look so small.
"Commander Chen, this dog is much better than a horse, he can not only pull artillery, but also fight! If you have these dogs in the artillery regiment together, it means that not only do you not need too many soldiers to protect you, but as long as you untie the leash on the dog when you encounter a small group of enemies, the dog will also bite the enemy to death! Don't underestimate these dogs, they're pretty powerful. I'll show you right away! Wang Guorui said.
Then, Wang Guorui ordered a dog to rush towards a fat pig, apparently trying to bite the fat pig to death. And the dog rushed to the fat pig at a high speed, and this speed was faster than the speed of some war horses, which shocked Chen Liyan very much. And the dog came to the fat pig, the fat pig tried his best to dodge, but he was not the opponent of the dog's speed at all, the dog rushed in front of the fat pig and jumped, and then directly bit the fat pig to death. And this dog just took a bite, and one bite directly killed a fat pig, and the fat pig died soon after the neck was bleeding.
"That's amazing! If a person is bitten like this, he won't live long! With these dogs, there is no need to be afraid when you encounter a small group of enemies. These dogs are capable of rushing in front of enemies in a very short period of time, biting them to death as soon as they open their mouths. Just now, this dog was accurate and ruthless, and he was really out of love! Adult, where did these dogs come from? Chen Liyan said excitedly.
Chen Liyan knows, these dogs are really treasures. If you have these dogs, you can not only use them to transport artillery and ammunition, but if you encounter a small group of enemies, if the enemy does not have many automatic weapons, you can use hundreds of dogs to annihilate the enemy. This completely saves a lot of infantry defense forces, and then uses these soldiers where they are more needed.
"My lord, in the future, these dogs can be used not only to transport artillery, but also to transport all kinds of supplies. If you encounter an enemy, just let go of the leash, and the dog can completely annihilate the enemy by itself. Moreover, a dead dog is better than a dead man! ”
Chen Liyan said very unceremoniously that a dead dog is better than a dead person, because in the eyes of humans, if you can use a dog to replace yourself to die, then many people must be willing. This Chen Liyan is not polite at all, if you can use a dog to fight on the battlefield, you can kill the enemy and earn it, and if the dog dies, it won't be too heartbroken. After all, human life is higher and more expensive than dogs, and it is better for a dog to die than a human to die!
"Hehe, I got these dogs from a mountain tribe." Wang Guorui said.
The so-called Gaoshan people are the indigenous people of Taiwan. Taiwan is not without indigenous people, there are many aborigines of the Gaoshan tribe, but some have begun to integrate into the Han people, while some have maintained their own national characteristics. In the late Qing Dynasty, these Gaoshan people were still relatively xenophobic and not very keen on contact with the Han people. And Wang Guorui pushed it to the people of the Gaoshan clan like this, and ordinary people really can't verify it. In addition, many Han people know that these indigenous peoples have some skills of their own. For example, the taming of animals, those indigenous peoples are much better than the Han people. Therefore, Wang Guorui shirked the Gaoshan clan, which is not completely impossible.
"This mountain tribe is something I have managed to establish with them, and they don't want to be disturbed by people from outside. So every time I had to go in person, they were willing to provide me with these trained dogs. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have recognized it, or even admitted that there was such a special dog. So don't force them, after all, if you are in a hurry, they won't even buy my face, then it will really be a loss to Mrs. and a soldier. Wang Guorui said.
Hearing this, Chen Liyan also dispelled the idea of sending people to find this tribe. After all, it's already very good to be able to get these dogs, and if they really push them into a hurry, and they don't give these dogs to them, it really outweighs the loss. In Chen Liyan's eyes, these dogs are all divine dogs! If it can be obtained for a long time, it is very good for the army.
