Staring at the fortifications dug up by the Manchus. After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang still decided to use his own way to govern others and use the trench to deal with the trench.

Actually, that is, the earthwork.

After carefully observing the forward positions of Jiannu, Zhu Guoqiang, who had watched many movies about World War I and even the Civil War, knew very well what the result of the forced attack would be.

It will cause a lot of casualties!

The only way to reduce casualties is to reduce the charging distance as much as possible. Geoexcavation is a good choice.

Geotechnical excavation is also nothing new.

In fact, in the more than 20 years of warfare in Liaodong, it has long been common to attack trenches with trenches and break trenches with trenches.

With the order, the soldiers of the Pingyu Army prepared their sapper shovels and began to prepare to dig trenches for earthwork.

The sapper shovel of the equipment of the Pingyu army is actually the imitation of the 205 sapper shovel on the other side, although this kind of sapper shovel with wooden handle and steel body seems to have a simple structure, it is not easy to imitate it, after all, the all-steel shovel head may be easy to produce in the industrial society, but on this side, it is not easy to rely on the existing arsenal equipment to produce it in batches. So much so that even now, because of the cost, only 20% of the officers and soldiers are issued with sapper shovels, and they are mainly concentrated in the hands of sappers. There are more sapper shovels in iron than sapper shovels, but they are relatively heavy and are not directly distributed to individuals, and are only issued when they are engaged in earthwork.

Most of the officers and men of the Pingyu Army were from peasant backgrounds, and digging trenches was actually not much different from farm work.

Standing in the long trench, Zhu Guoqiang observed the defense line of Jiannu with a telescope, and then he summoned all the battalion commanders and above officers of the three main attack towns to make combat deployments:

"It's September 26 and it's 9:10 a.m....... Tomorrow. ”

After a pause, he added.

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, the attack will start on time."

"First of all, each artillery team used artillery shells to blast open the deer barricades set up by Jiannu, open a few openings, open offensive channels for the troops, and at the same time build parallel trenches for advancement."

"Once the battle starts, you will be given two hours to dig an attack tunnel from the parallel trench and advance to a position fifty meters away from the Jiannu long trench."

"The hunters in each town are ready in the parallel trenches to cover the sappers for their earthwork, and the Jiannu will fight against them if they dare to come out."

"Lord Shizi, what about Jiannu's fortification?"

As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Chen Wuving stared at the fort basket and built artillery barricades on the sand table and said.

"If the troops are approaching, the fort can attack the soldiers with shotguns."

"Artillery to artillery, our artillery is not vegetarian!"

Then Zhu Guoqiang said in a deep voice.

"The three towns are divided into six routes, and attack at the same time, with two battalions of soldiers and companies as the commando, one battalion of soldiers as the reserve, as many grenades as possible, the three towns have no main attack, no assist, the same is true for the three battalions in the town, after breaking through all the way, the reserve team immediately put into the attack and, must not hesitate, in short, it is still the same sentence, when the charge must be resolute and decisive, after the main attack force approaches, immediately throw all the grenades into the long trench of Jiannu, and then launch a bayonet charge to cover the reserve to attack the second line of defense in depth. Expand the results immediately......"

Perhaps, Zhu Guoqiang is not a professional soldier, but he has something in his heart that others can never master. -- That is the experience accumulated by mankind over the entire 470 years of time, and it is the history of more than 470 years.

It was this experience, as well as his knowledge of history, that gave him the confidence to command this battle.

"After the reserve charged the second long trench, the breakthrough battalion cleared the remnants of the enemy in the first long trench. The troops that did not break through immediately turned into reserves to accompany the attack. ”

In fact, there is nothing new in this set of play, there is no main attack unit, and each unit can become the main attack or assist.

With the arrangements in place, Zhu Guoqiang glanced at the battalion commanders in the headquarters and said in a deep voice:

"What is the way to win a war? It's a tiger fighting a sheep! Bully the weak! Therefore, no matter how weak the enemy is, we must fight with all our might, strive to break through the defense line of Jiannu in one assault, and do not look ahead and worry about losses. Destroy the Jiannu with the most resolute attack and break their resistance! ”

"Yes!"

When the battalion commanders left one after another, Zhu Guoqiang, who left the command bunker, saw that in addition to the troops who were ready to go, there were also hundreds of Korean people who had been requisitioned and sent - after entering North Korea, in order to ensure military supplies, the Pingyu army hired a large number of people, these people did not use flat shoulders to carry materials, but used backpacks to carry various materials, in addition to the back frames, they also pushed wheelbarrows - in addition to the wooden boxes for shells, there were also some ammunition boxes with a length of nearly one meter, which were loaded with Hale rockets.

And not far from them, there are more than a dozen gun carriages, different from ordinary gun carriages, there are many iron pipes on it, five on one layer, a total of four layers, less than 20 launch tubes!

Looking at those rocket launchers, the corners of Zhu Guoqiang's lips lifted lightly - this is an unexpected gain. Out of the need for imported technology, Zhu Guoqiang provided the arsenal with a large number of books translated by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and other institutions in the 19th century, in addition to introducing steam engines, machine tools and other machinery and equipment, of course, there are also a large number of weapons materials, after all, the Westernization movement in the late Qing Dynasty is to put it bluntly - foreign guns and foreign artillery.

A month ago, when he went to the arsenal, Zhu Guoqiang unexpectedly saw this kind of "whirlwind rocket" - Heller's whirlwind rocket, so that the medicine gas did not leak out of the tail hole, but from the five holes in the neighborhood, one side forward, one side rotation...... In fact, it is the legendary Hale rocket, and it is the ultimate development form.

Looking at the launch tubes on the ground, Zhu Guoqiang naturally lit a few rounds in person with great interest. In his opinion, this 19th-century level rocket is very scientific, and the range is closer. In fact, in this era, the firing range of two or three kilometers is not close, so Zhu Guoqiang borrowed the multi-barreled structure like modern rocket artillery to create a 20-tube rocket launcher, which is very powerful when hitting close-range targets, and is suitable for fire coverage and psychological strikes.

Of course, this kind of rocket is not perfect, if the rotation propulsion nozzle fails, the rocket may fly around, or even hit back on the head of its own people. But even so, Zhu Guoqiang still ordered the manufacture of 20 multi-linked "cyclone rocket" launchers and 10,000 rockets.

At present, Pyongyang's Jiannu defense line just serves as a testing ground for this "whirlwind rocket" - the whirlwind rocket, which was not named by Zhu Guoqiang, but was translated from the late Qing Dynasty, perhaps also based on its whirlwind-like violent characteristics when launched.

Looking at the North Korean coolies dragging the "Whirlwind Rocket" launch vehicle, Yan Ermei asked with some curiosity.

"Lord Shizi, those cannons are "Whirlwind Rockets", this artillery truck is light enough, and the two of them dragged it away. ”

"The biggest feature of the "Whirlwind Rocket" rocket is that it is light and easy to carry, in addition to such a multi-tube launcher, there are also single-tube launchers. It was still cheap compared to artillery, and now the arsenal has developed a process for rolling thin iron plates, and the cost of making rockets has dropped a lot,"

The so-called process, in fact, is the use of the train shaft as a roll to make the soil rolling mill, the rolling mill borrowed some of the design concepts of the special period of the soil rolling mill, perhaps by the standards of the 20th century, the equipment is too simple, and even the production of products is not qualified products.

But in this era, its appearance is like being born out of nowhere, solving the problem of the production of thin plates, and the source of raw materials for the cuirass no longer needs to depend on another world, of course, the quality of raw materials in this era is certainly not as good as the other side.

In fact, now Dalian has begun to manufacture some simple machinery and equipment, that is, there are 19th century, there are also special period of local equipment. It is these devices that have allowed Dalian to step into an industrial society little by little, although this industrial society is relatively primitive and looks very unremarkable. Eventually, however, he will slowly show his strength.

When his power is revealed, the whole world will be changed and shocked......
