Lin Ziran knew that most of the generals under his command were all artillery, even if they were infantry generals and cavalry generals, they still believed that artillery was the god of war in their bones.

In an infantry division of more than 14,000 people, there is a 56-gun artillery regiment with 56 barreled guns, and this is not counted, and now the infantry divisions in the Daheng unified army are generally equipped with a 120-mm rapid-fire mortar battalion, and each infantry regiment and battalion are also equipped with 80 and 60-mm rapid-fire mortars.

These rapid-fire mortars add up to dozens of guns.

At the same time, the infantry corps is also equipped with an independent artillery regiment, which is an artillery regiment equipped with 150 mm howitzers and 100 mm cannons.

In addition to the above-mentioned artillery units with fixed formations, when fighting, they can often be supported by the artillery of one or more artillery brigades.

In short, now that the Daheng unified army is fighting, especially in some medium and large-scale battles, there are no hundreds of artillery pieces in front of them, and those generals will not fight.

Even in the case of cavalry units, each cavalry division is now generally equipped with a small mounted artillery regiment with twenty-four 75-mm light howitzers.

From all this, it can be seen that the Daheng Unification Army is a veritable artillery unit.

However, these Lin Ziran could understand, accept, and even believe that a large number of artillery units is the key to winning the war of reunification.

However, this has to be a degree!

At present, the current level of artillery equipment of the Daheng United Army is actually the most powerful in the contemporary feudal towns, and it will actually be able to maintain its artillery superiority for a long time to come.

Although the other feudal towns of Daheng are also artillery, but limited by the relatively late imitation of rear-loading artillery, today's rear-loading artillery is still relatively few, and when the Daheng unified army fought Quyang Prefecture before, Quyang Prefecture also made a total of dozens of post-transmission artillery.

As for the northern states, according to recent intelligence, they are also organizing arsenals to mass-produce rear-loading artillery, among which the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau has already begun large-scale mass production.

However, even then, it will take a long time for them to catch up with the Daheng unified army in the field of artillery.

Artillery, the output does not mean that it can be increased if it wants to explode growth, it takes a period of time to debug and improve, even if it enters the period of full production, it will take time to accumulate.

As for the Daheng Unification Army, the number of artillery equipment in the army department has exceeded 1,500, and it is still rising at a rate of more than 200 every month.

The Ordnance Department is trying to make sure that all the artillery units of each unit can be assigned to a part as much as possible.

As for the full compilation, don't count on it.

You must know that the current scale of the Daheng Unification Army is already very large, and after the recent adjustment, the Daheng Unification Army has clarified the establishment of each unit.

Well, excluding the garrison division, the garrison division has already been independent from the Daheng unified army by Lin Ziran and began to be self-contained, and it is not included in the scope of ordinary operations.

Speaking only of the Daheng Unification Army, its army will have 27 infantry divisions, 18 cavalry divisions, 18 independent artillery regiments, and 2 fortress garrison regiments.

The above-mentioned units were organized into nine infantry corps, three cavalry corps, and three artillery brigades, while the other three siege heavy artillery regiments and two fortress garrison regiments were independent units under the direct jurisdiction of the army command.

In addition to the fact that there is no shortage of personnel, the above-mentioned units are actually quite short of weapons and equipment.

There is no way to do this, the artillery unit of the Daheng Unification Army is relatively large, and if all of them are fully established, the number of barreled artillery of various calibers and types required is very large.

For the twenty-seven infantry divisions alone, 972 75-mm field guns and 486 75-mm howitzers were needed, for a total of 1,512 units.

Eighteen cavalry divisions needed 432 75-mm light cavalry guns.

In the case of 18 independent artillery regiments, the number of artillery pieces attached to each artillery regiment varies according to the type of artillery, but when it is fully established, it still reaches more than 650 guns.

The more than 650 guns required by these independent artillery regiments are even more difficult to match, because these independent artillery regiments are equipped with large-caliber artillery.

100 mm cannons, 120 mm howitzers, 150 mm howitzers, and a small number of 120 mm cannons and 150 mm cannons.

Taken together, the above units required more than 2,500 artillery pieces under their belts.

And this is only the artillery that the field troops need.

It does not include the artillery attached to the two fortress garrison regiments, that is, the Chongguangcheng garrison regiment and the Luohe Gorge garrison regiment, which need to be equipped with more artillery than ordinary independent artillery regiments because of the garrison of the key areas.

And the Daheng Unification Army, for the time being, it is impossible to achieve full establishment for all the above-mentioned troops, after all, the production capacity is limited, and the military expenditure needs to be considered.

Therefore, the artillery of the Daheng Unification Army is carried out in the form of supporting key troops, with the main force giving priority to full strength and equipment, ordinary troops being equipped with less artillery, and second-line troops being equipped with a small part.

The artillery regiments of the main forces such as the First and Second Divisions naturally have a full establishment of 56 guns, while in ordinary units such as the Ninth Division, the artillery regiments actually have only 30 or 40 guns, and as for the newly formed units of the 27th Division, there are only a dozen or 20 pieces of artillery, and the insufficient part is temporarily supported by captured front-loading rifled guns.

With the current scale of the Daheng Unification Army, its industrial production capacity, and the pressure on military spending, it is impossible to achieve full strength in a short period of time.

Moreover, even the existing units cannot be fully established, let alone continue to expand the establishment of artillery units.

However, the army's opinion on further strengthening the firepower of the front-line troops is also correct, and the greatest advantage of the Daheng unified army is the superiority in firepower, and as the troops in other feudal towns are gradually equipped with rear-loading artillery, it is also very necessary to further increase the artillery density and intensity of the front-line troops.

However, Lin Ziran did not think that it needed to be solved by simply expanding the establishment, but should be obtained through changes in strategy and tactics.

The concentrated breakthrough tactic in the previous Battle of Gyeongdeok City was a very suitable tactic.

There are still so many artillery pieces, but they concentrate their artillery on a certain point through tactical mobile deployment and other methods to establish absolute artillery superiority, and then inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

This is the path that the army should take in the future.

Another point is that to further strengthen the density and intensity of firepower of the troops, it is not necessary to rely on artillery units, there are other ways to choose.

Machine guns, for example, are good!
