Chapter Eighty-Nine: Wu Guanlin's Self-Redemption
The Minnie rifles of the Aoyama Patrol Battalion are all modified from Fuyuan muskets, and it is absolutely impossible to tell from the appearance that this is a rifled gun, and at the same time, I don't know if the musket of each soldier is a rifled gun.
Therefore, although most people know that the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is equipped with a lot of rifled guns, they will never know that all the people in the Qingshan Patrol Camp are equipped with rifled guns, and they still think that most of the soldiers in the Qingshan Patrol Camp are still equipped with smoothbore guns.
At the same time, what they did not know was that the bullets fired by these rifled guns were special Mini rounds.
Lin Ziran strictly forbade the soldiers to leak Mini's bullets, just to delay the leakage of the news as much as possible.
It's impossible to hide it forever, he just wants to hide it for a while.
This Wu Guanlin in front of him just doesn't know the existence of Mini's bullet!
Faced with Wu Guanlin's doubts, Lin Ziran did not hide it, but directly confessed: "The muskets that all the soldiers of our Qingshan Patrol Battalion are currently equipped with rifled guns!" ”
After hearing Lin Ziran's personal admittion, Wu Guanlin frowned slightly, this situation was even worse than he guessed, he thought that although there were a large number of chaseurs in the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, not all of them were chasers.
Now Lin Ziran said that everyone is equipped with rifled guns.
That's not a good sign!
A unit made purely of hunters, with the toes to think that once they are on the battlefield, they will be blown up in minutes.
After pondering for a few seconds, Wu Guanlin said: "Although the humble position is new to the city, it stands to reason that I should not interfere in these matters, but since I have joined the command of the adults and received the adult's salary, I have the courage to say a few words!" ”
At this time, Lin Ziran didn't know what Wu Guanlin wanted to do, so he immediately said: "Instructor Wu, but it doesn't matter!" ”
Wu Guanlin said: "Your Excellency, you should also know that the type of hunters equipped with rifled guns has a history of hundreds of years, as early as in the Hengao War of that year, whether it was my Daheng or the Orissa Empire in the south, they were equipped with a lot of hunters, and now the troops in the towns are also widely equipped with huntsmen, but the overall proportion of hunters in the troops is very small!" ”
"It is true that hunters equipped with rifled guns have the advantage of sniping the enemy from a distance, and they can also play a huge role when used properly on the battlefield, but their slow reloading speed, expensive cost, and special bullets are all important reasons for the large-scale popularity of rifled guns, especially the slow loading speed, which is destined to be a long-range surprise attack weapon, and cannot be used for head-to-head confrontation."
"If my patrol battalion is equipped with some chasers, it will naturally be beneficial and harmless, but if there are too many chasers, and even the whole army is chasers, with all due respect, this is the way to defeat!"
After Wu Guanlin's words came out, he felt much happier in his heart, and then his new boss Lin Ziran either suddenly realized, and then convinced himself, and said that he was a great talent.
Or maybe it's annoyed and angry, saying something you know a or something.
The former is able to be done by many feudal towns, and generosity is a person who can sincerely accept opinions, correct mistakes, tolerate people, and finally be able to achieve great things, of course, there are a small number of fools who are also in the clouds.
The latter also has many feudal towns that will do this, and most of them are self-righteous and self-confident, and the end result is often tragic.
The Daheng Dynasty was in civil strife for decades, and almost every year there were many feudal towns, and then many feudal towns disappeared at the same time.
In so many feudal towns, there are naturally all kinds of people.
Wu Guanlin didn't know what kind of person Lin Ziran was, but he hoped that Lin Ziran would be the former.
In the past few years, he has been looking for jobs everywhere, and to be honest, Wu Guanlin himself is a little skeptical that he is riddled with bad luck, otherwise how could he have fallen to the point where he is today.
A dignified high-achieving student who graduated from the first step department of Luohai Military Academy, the former commander of the Luo Navy, actually went to a militia in a remote place to be a sergeant instructor, and he could laugh at the big teeth of tens of millions of people in Nanhai Prefecture when he said it.
However, if it doesn't take long for Lin Ziran to be defeated and killed, I'm afraid that he will be able to laugh off the front teeth of all the Daheng people at that time.
Even if he thinks about his future early, he Wu Guanlin still hopes that Lin Ziran is a rational person, so he has no ambition and his ability is not very good, but at least he must know how to adopt the sincere opinions of his subordinates.
It's a pity that Wu Guanlin's life experience doesn't have much effect in the small town of Qingshan.
Because Lin Ziran didn't say anything like Mr. Wu, you are so awesome, so powerful.
didn't get annoyed and angry, and scolded that you know a fart.
Instead, he looked at him with a smile on his face!
This kind of smiling expression makes Wu Guanlin look very weird, he has said a lot, what is this Lin Ziran just smiling?
In fact, Lin Ziran didn't expect Wu Guanlin to raise this question at first, because in Lin Ziran's opinion, it was not a problem at all.
Because his Qingshan Patrol Battalion is equipped with Mini rifles, not the old-fashioned rifled guns that are now commonly equipped in various feudal towns, it takes several minutes to reload once, and the effective range is only two or three hundred meters, and the bullets also need to be special bullets, which is very troublesome.
The Mini rifle is much simpler, and the key mystery is not even the musket itself, but the bullet.
The musket, in fact, is just a rifling of the Fuyuan musket.
However, the bullet is a very special cavity conical bullet, which is combined with rifling to make a complete Mini rifle.
But the Wu Guanlin in front of him probably didn't know.
Lin Ziran did not directly explain anything to Wu Guanlin, but instead raised a question: "If the rifled gun attached to the hunters of my Qingshan Patrol Battalion can achieve the same rate of fire as the smoothbore gun, then in Instructor Wu's opinion, what infantry tactics should be used?" Is it a line tactic or a skirmish tactic or something else? ”
Compared with explaining to Wu Guanlin what a Mini rifle is, Lin Ziran pays more attention to whether Wu Guanlin can bring him a little change in tactics.
He knew that this person was a graduate of the Luohai Military Academy, and he had also served in the regular army, and such an officer with a regular background must have a deeper understanding of tactics than his own half-man, and than the peasant and bandit officers under him.
He just came yesterday, but Lin Ziran didn't have time to ask him.
But now, since he came to the door early in the morning, he also raised a lot of worries about the hunters, which also made Lin Ziran have the idea of conducting an on-site assessment of him.
Wu Guanlin couldn't keep up with Lin Ziran's change of topic in time, and was slightly stunned at first, but soon said: "The rifled gun has the same rate of fire as the smoothbore gun?" That's impossible! ”
