Chapter 826: Where Are the Tartars' Cavalry?
In the military map issued by the Security Department of the Hantang Group, Captain Wang Cheng and his team passed through Liulin Town, and after going up for about two hours, they would come to a county seat and pass through the middle of the county seat.
This county seat is called Weiming County.
There are two stone bridges connecting the east and west of the city.
In advance, they had already envisaged possible ways of blocking the Tatar bandit group.
An ambush on the shore counts as one, a shipwreck counts as one, and an arson ship counts as one—but they didn't expect a bunch of small wrecked boats to block the river!
Now there is still some distance from that unnamed county seat.
What does this mean, is there a bomb in it, or is there an incendiary/bomb or something?
Squadron Leader Wang Cheng and Captain Yue Xiao have been carefully searching the riverbanks on both sides with binoculars for a long time, but there is nothing!
Captain Yue Xiao said: "Whatever, use the Type 92 cannon and replace it with a high-explosive one to blow it up!" ”
Squadron Leader Wang Cheng nodded and thought, yes, this method is simple, he said: "Let the gunboat go up and drive left and right together!" ”
The order was given, and a small wooden gunboat of the river class stepped forward.
The Type 92 mountain artillery was lazily converted into land and sea use by the Han and Tang Dynasty military factories, and it also reverberated with eloquence, saying:
"Why is the Haian Brigade dissatisfied?
With a caliber of 70 mm and a barrel length of 8.79 times the caliber, the total weight of the land type is 0.212 tons, and the total length of the gun is 2.745 meters!
You don't need sea-style continuous casting steel wheels and shields, the whole weight is less than 120 kilograms, you don't need a cannon frame, you don't need to install a re-entry and exit machine, you can directly put on a spring buffer, the total length is not more than one meter, you can operate it alone, what else is not satisfied?
The 3.8-kilogram high-explosive bomb can hit more than 2,000 meters, you say, what else do you want?!
You go to Wu Guangtou and ask for an iron boat, and we will get you an 88mm direct-fire gun! ”
Very well, the last two sides unanimously agreed that the roots were in Wu Guangtou's Anjiang Shipyard, and he always fiddled with large wooden ships, and also claimed that large wooden ships would not withdraw from the stage of history for two hundred years.
Everyone counted the years with their hands, well, this Wu bald head still added the influence we brought.
Of course, this kind of small cannon is not atmospheric for big ships, but for river gunboats, like to die, they can be loaded with four guns in front and behind!
The tonnage of the whole ship is less than fifty tons, and they can have four sharp guns!
This shot is absolutely spectacular!
They used a large 60-horsepower flywheel, which could be small and fast because it burned diesel.
The earliest pot camel steam engine power is not enough, the ship is small, and it can't hold much charcoal and coal.
The two gunners opened fire from a distance of more than 200 meters, and because they were too close, they fired in a direct-aim manner.
The high and low firing angles of the 92 guns of the sea type are 0 degrees to +75 degrees, and the range firing range is 10 degrees to the left and right, which is adjusted by the worm gear box of the high and low machine.
How powerful are the 3.8-kilogram high-explosive shells?
The shell contains one kilogram of T/NT, and one kilogram of TN/T explosion can produce 4.2 million joules of energy, according to the calculation of 1 joule = 0.102 kilograms of 61 meters, one kilogram of TN/T can move a one-kilogram object 420 kilometers, or a 100-kilogram object 4.2 kilometers.
Of course, this is ideally, that is, all energy is converted into kinetic energy.
In practice, a 70-mm high-explosive shell can reduce a small two-story house to rubble.
The charge of the defensive grenade of the Hantang Group is about 50 grams, and no one can survive within 10 meters, and one kilogram is equivalent to 20 defensive grenades exploding at the same time, as a result, you can imagine.
About 200 meters, two direct-fire high-explosive shells hit a pile of broken wooden ships at the same time, and in two huge explosions, the fragments of the broken wooden ships flew wildly.
Captain Wang Cheng looked at it, there was no reaction, and the main body of the broken ship pile was still there—so he ordered another round!
The total weight of 50 tons, which is still too small, the gunner waited for the gunboat to stabilize, and then fired again, and hit the target again!
Squadron Leader Wang Cheng saw that there was still no reaction, and there could be no ambush, so he ordered the gunboat to step forward and clear the obstacles.
Squadron Leader Wang Cheng said with a smile: "If those people in the military factory knew that we used high-explosive shells to break the ship's pile, they would definitely be distressed, all copper shells——"
Captain Yue Xiao also smiled and said: "The battle for production equipment and military equipment has made it difficult for them, a few shells, and a single motor is gone—but the lives of the security team members are always the highest in our hearts, fuck the generator!" ”
Captain Wang Cheng said: "Yes! These people are people who agree with our philosophy, believe in us, and are willing to abide by our regulations, they are a hundred times more important than machines! ”
On the river, some broken boats that may have obstructed them can be easily pulled apart.
The whole fleet began to move forward normally.
At this time, they did not think of the impact of their explosions, which were not loud and far less than their rockets.
However, some people in the unnamed county town heard it.
Yang Yang, a clever half-sized boy, he sat around a rag, his pants were really rotten, and the family had no money to rip the cloth.
He shouted in the house, "Daddy, brother, there is a boom outside, four times!" ”
The owner of the village didn't know why he had run away, no one had come to tell them what to do, and the cornfields that no one had taken care of seemed to be guarded.
Dad and his brother discussed whether to steal something, once they were caught, they would be beaten half to death, but they would definitely not be killed, the emperor ordered, even serfs could not be killed casually.
If you steal it, you don't have to worry about eating, and you can also pull some cloth for Yang Yang to make pants.
Brother Yang Niu pouted and said, "Daddy and I didn't hear it outside, shut up!" ”
In the end, the two of them discussed, and the time they stole his mother, they all grew on their own ground.
When Captain Wang Cheng's fleet arrived at Weiming County, they found that they couldn't go, and they really sank the ship in the shallowest place.
It's a nuisance, but it's expected.
Squadron Leader Wang Cheng immediately ordered 2,000 marines to land on both sides of the strait immediately and occupy the entire Weiming county within an hour!
There is no way, this route passes through the entire county, and there are too many houses on both sides of the river, which is conducive to ambushes.
At this time, the new victory of the Tartar bandit group was not long ago, and the fighting power of the desperate struggle still existed-
Squadron Leader Wang Hongli began to advance smoothly towards the capital.
The heavenly patrol has been replaced, and it can be said that there is no problem within twenty square kilometers, and he feels that the so-called anticipation of the enemy at the headquarters is too wide.
He admitted that his Lu'an Brigade could not be regarded as a modern soldier in the strict sense of the word, which can be seen from the fact that they still prefer to use cold weapons to solve problems.
However, where the generation of weapons was placed, he did not believe that the Tartar cavalry could charge against the fire of automatic weapons, even if it was sixty or one hundred and twenty rounds per minute, which might be what the village militia could do?
He was repeatedly disappointed by the news of the Hai'an Agent Squad in the capital, that the Tartar cavalry and their soldiers had not gathered to resist - or that they were smarter than they were two hundred years later?
Or in a long period of isolation, while fooling others, you will also fool yourself??
The only thing that the security department of the Hantang Group can learn from is the Battle of Bali Bridge in 1860.
In the historical materials, they collected many accounts of the opposing sides.
In France and China, the French officer Girard gave a detailed description of the heroic battle of the Tartars:
"Glory belongs to these combatants, and indeed it belongs to them! Without fear or complaint, they were willing to generously shed their blood for everyone's safety. This spirit of sacrifice is regarded by all peoples as great, honorable and outstanding...... Such heroism is often seen in the Chinese military; In Europe, however, it is a big mistake to think that the Chinese military lacks courage because of misinformation. ”
And commented: "In the Battle of Bali Bridge, the Chinese army met the coalition forces with rare bravery. Their army consisted of 25,000 Tartars and a large number of militias", and "in spite of their shouts and marches, and their brave and repeated charges, they were defeated at the outset!" However, they withstood the overwhelming firepower that inflicted his casualties", and in the end, they "preferred not to retreat, but to persevere, and all of them died on the spot".
Paul 61 Varan records in the Chronicles of the Expedition: "The Chinese and the Tartars, known for their courage and composure, were particularly outstanding in the final stages of the battle...... None of them retreated, but all of them died in the line of duty."
In the Translator's Notes, Count Delison, wrote: "The enemy has been beaten back twice, but he has not yet conceded defeat, and is preparing to fight for the passage with one heart." …… The Chinese are now not hiding behind the walls or under the cover of fortifications to fight, they are now coming forward.
There, the Emperor's Janissaries, the elite of the Imperial Army, were gathering at the gates of the capital.
In the middle of the bridge, braving a hail of bullets, one of their Tartar chiefs stood in front on horseback; He waved the yellow flag in challenge, and although the rumbling cannon overshadowed everything, he still shouted loudly.
Around this valiant officer, marble blocks of the bridge railings were scattered in all directions, and our shells caused a lot of casualties. Death did not stop for a moment, but it did not intimidate these inflexible, but brave fighters, who did not retreat. ”
The final record was that the Anglo-French army suffered 12 casualties, and the Tartar cavalry suffered only 1,200 casualties, and then they were scattered.
Or rather, praising the enemy is the best way to praise yourself—
Also in the records of the Tartar bandit group, there are hundreds of enemies killed at one time, and thousands at the other, and there is no way to see it.
Tartar is the best way to belittle the enemy and praise yourself.
However, the ancestors of these Tartars two hundred years ago did not adopt their methods, which made Squadron Leader Wang Hongli unhappy.
The most annoying thing is that others sneak attack and disturb, but fortunately, there are powered gliders to paraglide to monitor.
Of the 3,500 people of Squadron Leader Wang Hongli, less than 500 were able to get on motorized transports, not counting four-wheeled/horse-drawn carriages.
The remaining 3,000 people can only walk, and it is not unheard of for long-distance training, which is not a thing.
The point is, where are the cavalry of the Tartars?
Squadron Leader Wang Hongli looked at the time now, it was time for lunch, and now they had already traveled fifty kilometers, which was a very standard marching speed.
They found an open spot and began to eat lunch.
In the woods in the distance, the Commander of Aobai and a few of his men sat with a big grin, drawing the ground with branches.
Ao Bai said: "No wonder these pirates are so arrogant, there are flying objects in the sky, Lao Tzu has seen it for the first time!" ”
One of his subordinates said, "This pirate's formation is really neat, not ordinary!" ”
The commander of Aobai nodded in agreement, and said: "It's not ordinary, Lao Tzu still has to take them seriously - you see, they are in a marching formation with an iron head, a human body, and a tofu tail, and Lao Tzu knows when he sees it, the big iron car is really not pushed by a person, it can really go by itself!"
We'd better not touch it! Hit their tofu tails first!! Let the cavalry all hide, don't hurry, listen to my orders-"
