Chapter 358: Recruits, Actual Combat

This territory is really a good place, with extremely rich products, mountains, forests, water and mines.

On that high mountain, there are many trees, and at the same time, it is also rich in minerals, among which there are sulfur and saltpeter mines, there are mines here, and in the future, sulfur and saltpeter do not need to go out to buy, they can directly collect and refine by themselves.

Not far from the territory, there is iron ore more than a hundred miles away, and if there is iron ore, there will be metal, and steel can also be made by itself in the future.

And all around the territory, there is an amazingly fertile black soil, and growing crops here is definitely a great harvest.

It's a treasure trove of land, but it hasn't been developed yet.

It's good, but it also has its shortcomings, otherwise, this place would have been occupied a long time ago.

The first point is that the transportation here is not convenient, the geography here is remote, and it takes at least half a month to reach the nearest human village and town from the city built by Wang Xiaoming, which is too long.

Second, it's too dangerous, it's inaccessible, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, it's a paradise for strange beasts, and there are strange beasts everywhere, and ordinary people can't live here at all.

It's not that the alien beasts can't be cleaned up, but it takes too much energy and too much time to clean up the alien beasts, and instead of having that energy, it is also necessary to occupy the rest of the territory and develop the rest of the territory.

Wang Xiaoming naturally has long considered this.

The industrial zone was built, the lathes were assembled, and the forging house was built, so that weapons could be crafted.

These weapons are firearms, and the firearm chosen by Wang Xiaoming is the product of superbrain calculation, which is a large-caliber single-shot rifle.

After a few days of familiarization, the craftsmen were able to skillfully use the lathe to make the various parts of the firearm, which were then transported to another workshop for assembly, and after assembly, a rifle was made.

There are also two workshops. One is for the production of bullets, and the other for the production of gunpowder.

As long as there is technology, it is not difficult to make firearms, you know, on the earth, as long as there are materials, many people can make zuò earthen guns by hand.

With the technology provided by Wang Xiaoming, coupled with lathes and high-grade fine iron, it is natural to create firearms.

Speaking of which, thanks to the development of ironmaking technology in this world. The materials for making firearms don't need to be refined by Wang Xiaoming himself, just buy the materials directly before coming.

In the long run, this is naturally not possible, but in the short term, buying materials is the most trouble-saving and labor-saving way.

After another half a month, the craftsmen are all familiar with this set of processes, and they can skillfully manufacture parts and bullets.

At this time, with the production capacity here, it was possible to make thirty rifles per day. 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and in another month, this production can be doubled.

The rifles that were made had already reached the hands of the two hundred recruits so that the recruits could learn to shoot.

This single-shot rifle. Wang Xiaoming has already tried the power, and his bullet armor-piercing ability can form fatal injuries to first-order alien beasts, and it also has a great threat to second-order alien beasts.

And among the alien beasts. The first- and second-order alien beasts are the largest number of them, and they are also the foundation of the alien beasts.

This single-shot rifle is capable of posing a threat to first- and second-order alien beasts. It's enough to deal with a dense herd of alien beasts.

The strongest alien beast in this area is only a third-order alien beast, Wang Xiaoming has not yet encountered a fourth-order alien beast, and the third-order is the most powerful alien beast he has ever encountered.

However, the number of third-order beasts is relatively rare, most of the beasts are first-order, and even second-order ones are relatively few.

Don't look at the level of these alien beasts, it doesn't seem to be high, but in fact, the threat of alien beasts to ordinary people is too great, and if a first-order alien beast rushes into an unguarded village, it is enough to slaughter the entire village.

Moreover, here, there are too many first- and second-order alien beasts, relying on Wang Xiaoming alone, he can't kill them, and his defense is insufficient.

It is also impossible for Wang Xiaoming to stay here and defend all the time.

Even this kind of rifle is an ordinary model, and in the process of manufacturing firearms, Wang Xiaoming is still trying to improve and strengthen these firearms, yes, the firearms are more powerful.

Time passed in a hurry, and another two months passed, and at this time, Wang Xiaoming also had an additional 500-man firearms unit on hand.

These 500 troops dare not say how elite they are, but they are definitely qualified soldiers, they can shoot skillfully, they can shoot accurately, and they have all been trained in actual combat, they have killed foreign beasts, and they will not be in a hurry in the face of the surprise attack of foreign beasts.

At this point, this unit can be used.

Counting back and forth, it has been four months since Wang Xiaoming arrived in the territory, and there will be a harvest after paying, and now is the time to harvest.

Five hundred soldiers left one hundred to defend the city, and the remaining four hundred men, plus a convoy of three hundred peasants, seven hundred or so men walked out of the city and marched into the field.

In the past few months, Wang Xiaoming has not stayed in vain, but has taken his attendant Clark to survey the surrounding terrain, surveying in circles, and finding out all the surrounding situations.

Where there are strange beasts, where there are resources, where there are paths, where to garrison, all are clear.

Especially the distribution of alien beasts, Wang Xiaoming investigated very clearly.

With an understanding of the distribution of alien beasts, Wang Xiaoming set off with his troops.

Strange beasts are different from wild beasts, wild beasts are afraid of people, when there are many people, there is a big movement, the beast will be scared away, even if the tiger encounters a large number of people, it will be scared away.

Different beasts are different, different beasts are not afraid of many people, just like the lion will never be afraid of the large number of sheep, this is absolutely not, because in the eyes of the lion, the more sheep the better, the more sheep, equal to the more food.

In the eyes of alien beasts, the same is true for humans, the more people there are, the more they attract the attacks of alien beasts.

What's more, most of the soldiers in Wang Xiaoming's team are ordinary people, and they have not yet entered the class, so they do not pose a threat in the eyes of foreign beasts, and they are like food.

The attack first came from a wolf pack, a huge wolf pack, with at least three hundred trees, densely swarming, very scary.

Looking at the swarming wolves, the soldiers were frightened, although they had been trained in actual combat, they had never encountered such a number of wolves during training.

Fortunately, their training was fairly standardized, although they were taken aback. The team was a little flustered, but no one was a deserter.

Wang Xiaoming did not speak, and in the middle of the ranks, the officer who took the lead immediately shouted: "Raise your gun in the front row." ”

The soldiers were divided into three rows, with guns raised in the front row and two in the back two rows reserved.

Hearing the officer's order, the soldiers in the first row immediately reflexively raised the rifles in their hands neatly.

"Aim. ”

The soldier takes aim.

The wolves got closer and closer, and everyone got nervous.

Even Wang Xiaoming was a little nervous, he was not afraid of these wolves, but worried about his soldiers. This is the first time I have led my troops in a large-scale battle, and I don't know what the effect of the battle will be in the actual battle.

When the wolves entered the range of fifty meters, the officer suddenly shouted, "Shoot." ”

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Dense and neat gunfire suddenly rang out, and a group of alien wolves running in front were immediately knocked to the ground in pieces, and at least thirty alien wolves were killed on the spot.

"Free fire. ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately opened fire with all their strength.

Thirty rounds in one magazine, and it is a single-shot rifle, it can definitely fight for a lot of time.

Wait until all the soldiers in the first row have one magazine to finish shooting. All the alien wolves that rushed over had been killed on the spot, and only a few alien wolves running behind saw that the situation was not good and ran away.

The number of alien wolves that ran away would not exceed twenty. It's just a pity that the leading third-order alien beast wolf king was also run away by it.

The Alien Beast Wolf King was also shot a dozen times, but its skin was too hard and thick, and the bullets could only break the skin. I couldn't kill it, and after I beat it up, I still ran away from it.

Wang Xiaoming let out a long breath: "Not bad." This is the army you need. ”

At the end of the battle, the soldiers, under the leadership of the officer, cleaned up the battlefield in an orderly manner, some of the soldiers were responsible for guarding, the soldiers who had just fought immediately rested, and the rest of the soldiers continued to advance to clear the field.

Wang Xiaoming looked at the qiē in front of him and nodded secretly.

When the rear was still cleaning up the corpses of the alien beast wolves, the vanguard in front had already fought with the alien beast again, and the dense gunfire came again, and in the gunshot, there was also the scream of the alien beast before it died.

In the face of hordes of soldiers armed with rifles, even if they are as powerful as a beast, they can only be killed.

But a strange beast is a strange beast, and it is definitely not something that can be taken lightly, and fighting with a strange beast, the casualties of the troops are inevitable.

The first soldier killed by the strange beast died under the fangs of a strange beast viper, the poisonous snake hid in the hole in the grass, and when the soldier passed, it appeared from the hole in the ground and quickly bit the soldier, the poison of this poisonous snake was too violent, and he died before he could save the soldier.

What is even more frightening is that the poisonous snake did not run away after biting, but quickly tore at the rest of the soldiers around it, and finally was shot and killed by the rest of the soldiers after biting two people.

A venomous snake took the lives of two soldiers.

After the inspection, this is a first-order iron-headed spotted snake, the level is not high, but it is a highly poisonous creature, even if Wang Xiaoming is bitten by it, he will have to lose half of his life.

That's where the beast comes in.

The soldiers have guns, and long-range attacks are absolutely powerful, but they are not enough in close combat.

After all, these soldiers are just ordinary people, although they have been trained, but in the face of powerful beasts, it is very difficult to fight in close combat.

Wang Xiaoming suddenly thought of the werewolf Di Luo of the planet Crodila who was trading with him interstellarly, when he bought weapons and equipment, he not only bought hot weapons, but also cold weapons, swords and armor, hot weapons were used for long-range attacks, and cold weapons were used for close combat.

Wang Xiaoming's current planet is also somewhat similar to Clodila Star, maybe he should also learn from him.

In addition to ranged forces, melee protection is also required.

Long-range relies on firearms, firearms can be made by themselves, but melee combat is more troublesome, the training of melee fighters is not an easy thing, and it is more expensive to hire them, but now this condition is not allowed.

There is no choice but to make the soldiers more careful.

In fact, in the fight with the alien beasts, Wang Xiaoming also found that in the face of large-sized alien beasts, because they have guns in hand, they are easy to deal with, and the real threat to the lives of soldiers is those small-sized alien beasts.

Poisonous insects, snakes and ants, these small beasts are the most dangerous.

There are injuries in battle, but after experiencing battle, it is also the easiest for people to grow, and after fighting, many shortcomings of the firearms unit can be seen.

First of all, it is not enough to have a rifle, the firepower on the long-range attack is not enough, and the artillery is also needed, and there is no need for large-caliber artillery, and small-caliber field artillery is enough.

In addition to range, there is also melee combat.

There are two points in melee combat, the first is a bayonet, a bayonet must be installed on the gun, and then there is a pistol, a revolver can be used, it is easy to use, it is simple to manufacture, and a six-shot revolver can provide a soldier with good melee ability.

Finally, there is the armor.

Wang Xiaoming thought at first that with powerful firepower and being able to carry out long-range attacks, armor would not be needed.

However, in actual battles, in the face of hordes of alien beasts, soldiers would be safer if they were protected by armor.

And it's also important to note that the physical fitness of these soldiers is very good, which is not comparable to the soldiers on Earth.

Ordinary soldiers here can easily move with a hundred pounds of weight, so putting armor on them will not have much impact on their mobility.

After half a month of fighting, Wang Xiaoming's goal of actual combat had been achieved, and he immediately returned to the city with his soldiers, and then asked the workshop to produce armor and firearms according to his own requirements.

With the capabilities of the current workshop, making these things is trivial.

When making armor weapons, Wang Xiaoming also sent a letter to Angela, along with the letter were 500 barrels of high-grade liquor, 100 rifles, and 5,000 rounds of ammunition.

There is also a high degree of liquor in this world, but their distilled liquor technology is still not good enough, and the price is inflated, and these liquors purified by Wang Xiaoming himself are better than the liquors on the market.

As for the firearms, they were intended to be used for arms trade.

What? Will the arms deal reveal the secrets of these weapons? Will it cause a bad situation?

Don't worry, Wang Xiaoming has already considered this.

Once the weapon is controlled, it is simply impossible to keep it secret, and if it cannot be prevented, there is no need for it.

Just look at other people's countries, they are big arms exporters, and they wish that the weapons they produce are sold on sale, have they worried about weapon leaks?

Has anyone surpassed the United States because of the purchase of weapons? There is no such thing.

For this point, Wang Xiaoming thought about it very clearly. (To be continued......)
