Chapter 55 Military Training Exercises
A few days later, in a deserted outskirts of Jinling City, a radius of ten miles had been blocked by the army, and all idle people were not allowed to enter!
Headed by Wu Mingche and Huang Faqu, and accompanied by Xiao Yao, Xiao Moke and other senior generals, they climbed a wooden platform built on a small dirt slope, which was the temporary rostrum for military exercises.
I saw Xiao Yao dressed in a military uniform, wearing a black round helmet on his head, wearing a black armor, holding four different colors of yellow, black, red, and white flags in his hands, standing heroically aside, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Humble Xiao Yao told the generals that the training exercise of the Fire Dragon Battalion is ready and can start at any time!" ”
Looking at Xiao Yao's armor, which was a little strange, but looked very well-fitting and good-looking, Wu Mingche asked curiously: "Shiro, your armor was also designed by yourself?" Why does it smell like ink? ”
Xiao Yao's serious expression showed a wry smile: I don't want to either!
This set is paper armor, which was made by Zu Yuan according to Xiao Yao's requirements, except for the helmet or iron, the other parts are made of paper: on the clothes and boots, nail a special waterproof thick paper block, according to the style of ordinary armor, make a neck guard, arm guard, chest guard, crotch guard, leg guard, combat boots and other parts, and then combine them to make a fitting armor.
But the original color of these thick paper pieces was white, and wearing something white, Xiao Yao felt unlucky, so he asked to dye it in other colors, but due to the large number and time constraints, Zu Yuan could only use ink to dye it black, and he handed over to Xiao Yao.
The black armor looked mysterious and domineering, Xiao Yao was also very satisfied, but when he put it on, he found that there was still a smell of ink! However, the time for the training exercise has come, and it is too late to taste it, so it can only be worn directly on the body.
"General Wu, this is the paper armor I made out of paper pieces inspired by the Qi people of the previous dynasty, because the white paper pieces are unlucky, so they are dyed black with ink!" Xiao Yao said truthfully.
"Paper armor? You can really make armor out of paper! Can you withstand the attack of swords and arrows? "Wu Mingche has heard of the legend of paper armor, but this is the first time he has seen it.
"General Wu, wait a minute, one of the training demonstrations is to demonstrate the defensive performance of this paper armor for everyone, but now please enjoy the exercise of the Fire Dragon Battalion - breaking the enemy!" After speaking, Xiao Yao turned around and walked to the front of the stage, only to see him waving the yellow order flag, representing preparation, and shouted: "Fire Dragon Battalion!" Gather! ”
Suddenly, a team ran out of a small forest less than ten meters away from the stage: someone was holding a gun, someone was carrying a bag, someone was pushing a cart, pushing a cannon, and they quickly gathered in front of the stage, lined up neatly, without a trace of chaos!
I saw that this team of more than 100 people was wearing the same paper armor as Xiao Yao, but the color was not only black, but also yellow, green was scribbled together, made into camouflage, and even the soldiers' faces were painted with camouflage, revealing only a pair of eyes!
Not only are there all kinds of branches and weeds on the body, but even the car and cannon are covered with green vegetation! This is Xiao Yao's first exercise project: camouflage!
The generals on the rostrum were stunned: what a powerful disguise! I've been here for so long, so close, but I didn't find out that there was actually a force of more than 100 people hidden in this grove!
And in just a few minutes, the troops have already assembled, lined up, the process is neat and orderly, and there is not a trace of noise heard, this Xiao Yao really has the ability to govern the army!
Seeing Wu Mingche's surprised expressions, Xiao Yao smiled slightly, continued to wave the yellow flag, and shouted loudly: "Enter the battle preparation!" ”
The soldiers obeyed the order, quickly cleared all the branches and weeds, and then quickly entered the pre-prepared "position".
A few days ago, Xiao Yao began to carefully arrange this "position": according to the training plot of the Flying Tigers in the movie, first dug various trenches in the open space, and then erected thousands of dummies tied with straw at different distances on the opposite side, some in piles, some scattered, and some hidden behind bunkers with a jar on top.
After a while, the soldiers of the Fire Dragon Battalion on the "position" had already entered the combat state, and the 30-man musket team was lying on the trench and aimed at the dummies opposite.
The sub-mother artillery team was distributed behind bunkers on both sides of the musket team, and there were only 4 groups of 5 people: 1 team leader, who was responsible for the whole group and aimed fire; 2 people are responsible for pushing the mother cannon and the frame gun; 2 people were in charge of the powder cart and the loading sub-shells.
The projectile artillery team is arranged behind the side rear bunker a little far from the musket team, and there are 10 groups of 4 people: 1 team leader, who is responsible for managing the whole group; 1 person is responsible for setting up the barrel, aiming and ignition; 2 people are responsible for transporting and loading explosives packs.
Seeing that the three teams of men and horses were ready, Xiao Yao waved another black order flag, representing the artillery bombardment, and shouted loudly: "Projectile artillery team, clean up the enemy position!" ”
Bang bang bang! I saw that the 10 large "oil drums" ejected 10 gunpowder bags weighing 10 catties, and accurately projected them into the pile of dummies 100 meters away, boom! The "enemy position" suddenly exploded into grass and trees, and even ignited a red fire!
Due to the limited amount of gunpowder, this projectile cannon only fired one round and stopped, but it has also made these veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have seen various scenes, all of them covered their ears and were frightened, only Xiao Moke, who had seen the power of gunpowder, was a little mentally prepared for the huge explosion, but he was still very surprised by the distance of the projectile!
Xiao Yao didn't let the scene calm down, and continued to wave the black command flag and shouted: "Son and mother artillery team, defend against the enemy's impact!" ”
As soon as the flag fell, the 4 sub-cannons on both sides of the musket team fired a salvo, and there was another boom! Shotguns from the barrels flew wildly, forming a network of crossfire, shooting hundreds of dummies in front of the musketeers' position!
As soon as the cannon fell, Xiao Yao waved the black flag and continued to order: "Second round of shooting!" The musketeers are ready to charge! ”
I saw that the gunner skillfully removed the sub-gun barrel from the open charge room, quickly loaded another sub-gun barrel, and continued to fire! Boom Boom! This completely knocked the dummy that had just fallen to the ground, and it all fell apart!
The second round of cannon fire was the Musketeer Charge! As soon as the cannon sounded, I saw that the soldiers all jumped out of the trench, took advantage of the smoke to cover, and quickly rushed to the pile of dummies that were scattered by the cannons, divided into two rows, one in front and one behind, kneeling on one knee, aiming at the jar behind the bunker 50 meters away!
"Musketeers shoot!"
Xiao Yao pointed at the red order flag, representing the attack of the musket team, and the soldiers in the first row fired decisively, bang! The jar behind the bunker was shattered! Then the soldiers of the second platoon took a step forward and continued to aim and shoot, and the soldiers of the first platoon took the opportunity to reload!
When hundreds of jars behind the bunker were shattered, the musketeers had already rushed to the front of the bunker and successfully occupied the "enemy position"!
After a "breaking the enemy" exercise, there were less than 30 minutes before and after, but this short time had already made Xiao Yao extremely excited: as a commander, he personally commanded this group of soldiers to cooperate with the battle, watching them cooperate seamlessly, the tactical movements were orderly, and there was a sense of success, it was really cool!
And this team has already shown the momentum of the Tiger and Wolf Division! Although there are only 100 people, the combat effectiveness shown can be comparable to that of thousands of troops, and if it grows and grows on the basis of this fire dragon battalion, it will definitely be able to sweep the world at that time!
