"We must be equipped with more rear-loading guns, especially large-caliber guns, these 75-mm rear-loading guns are good, but those 150-mm howitzers are even better, if we have dozens of 150-mm howitzers today, we can rush over with a few rounds of shelling, and we don't have to trouble as much as we do now!"

"This breech-loading artillery is a good thing!"

When Xu Zhongshu and the others discussed these with a relaxed expression, it also meant that the front-line battle was going smoothly, extremely smoothly!

The enemy army opposite the first division was about 10,000 people, which was the enemy's first main line of defense, but under the attack of the first division and the Zhongduo artillery unit, it only held out for less than an hour before and after, and it could not resist and collapsed!

The 2nd Division on the flank of the 1st Division, the 8,000 enemy troops in front of the attack, also successfully made a breakthrough, and then the 1st and 2nd Divisions swept south together.

In just a few hours, the Romanian Navy was deployed in this area, and the northern defense line, consisting of more than 25,000 troops, was declared to have collapsed.

The battle lasted only a few hours, but the Romanian Navy suffered thousands of casualties, and from beginning to end, the resistance of the Romanian Navy was disorderly, because some of their headquarters and preset artillery positions were knocked out

Under this chain reaction, they simply can't stop effective resistance!

The result of this battle shocked Xu Zhongshu's confidence, and it also surprised Lin Ziran in the rear!

Although he already knew that the combat effectiveness of the first and second divisions on the front line was not weak, and the combination of his rear-loading artillery, muskets, and new tactics would not be too bad, he still did not expect that he could defeat more than 20,000 enemy troops in just a few hours and completely tear apart the defensive line.

You must know that the more than 20,000 troops of the people are waiting for work, with perfect field fortifications, and they are also fully equipped with rear-loading rifles in the South China Sea.

Although their South China Sea breech rifle is still a prototype, with many defects such as air leakage and easy breakage of the firing pin, it is also a breech rifle.

It can be said that there is no difference in the infantry firepower of the two sides.

The difference between the two sides was only in the rear-loading artillery and in the detailed tactical aspects.

However, it is these gaps that directly lead to the current result, a result that makes Lin Ziran feel surprised!

If you go on according to this model, won't you push all the way and see who beats whom?

No, the current advantage is based on the premise that the Romanian Navy does not have rear-loading artillery, and at the same time does not understand the tactical use of rear-loading artillery.

Once the opponent also has a rear-loading gun, then the situation will change.

Even once the opponent is familiar with the performance and tactical use of rear-loading guns, I am afraid that corresponding changes will be made.

What Lin Ziran is thinking about now is that his advantage period is estimated to be only a few months before and after, or even shorter, only one or two months.

And what he has to do is to take advantage of the advantage of this two-month period to completely lay down the Luohai battle situation.

Capture Luohai City, capture Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, Nanhai Machinery Bureau and other important factories!

With these in mind, when he learned that the front line was going well, Lin Ziran gave an order to the southbound troops: "Continue to advance southward, and don't give the enemy any respite!" ”

In addition to giving orders to the front-line troops, Lin Ziran naturally did not forget to reward the meritorious soldiers in the battle, and at the same time, he successively summoned the heads of relevant departments such as logistics, ordnance, and the county guard.

All departments in the rear are required to coordinate well and do a good job in the supply of weapons, ammunition, and other materials.

Make sure that there will be no problems with the supply of ammunition and other materials for the front-line troops!

This is because after the first wave of fighting this morning, the logistics department submitted a report to him!

It is said that the artillery unit knocked out most of the ammunition carried by the artillery unit in a few hours before and after this morning.

This means that in the case of follow-up operations, the ammunition used by the artillery units is the reserves carried by the logistics units at all levels.

However, the problem is that there are not many artillery shells in reserve in the logistics units at all levels, and the ratio of the logistics departments to the artillery units themselves and the reserves of the logistics departments is maintained at one to one.

Well, this is an ideal situation, in fact, many logistics departments simply do not have so many reserves of artillery shells on hand, and they have long been distributed to the artillery units.

That is, by that time, there will be less than half of the artillery shells left in the whole army, and there is a high probability that less than half.

It's hard to say whether this can last until it reaches Luo Haicheng!

The sales volume of ammunition of the troops once again exceeded the estimates of the General Staff Office, Logistics Department and other departments, especially the consumption of artillery shells is even larger, and the consumption of rifle bullets is also very large, but Lin Ziran has not been able to let the troops save ammunition and the like, because these tactical advantages of the Luoan garrison are basically based on rear-loading rifles and rear-loading artillery, and one of the biggest performance advantages of these two things is that the projection of ammunition is larger.

If you limit the amount of ammunition you use, you are limiting your equipment advantage.

And once the performance advantage of these rear-loading guns is lost, then the Luoan garrison will not have much advantage in other aspects.

In this case, Lin Ziran had no other better way, he could only let the ordnance, logistics and local departments increase the supply of ammunition.

However, Ding Quankun found Lin Ziran again at noon!

"My lord, I'm afraid there are not enough funds to complete these orders!" Ding Quankun spoke a little helplessly: "Even though this is our own factory, we can supply at cost price, but the cost of raw materials and labor cannot be saved!" ”

"There were several batches of orders before, but now the Ordnance Department is still dragging on and not paying the money, and the Luo'an Factory and the Qingshan Factory have been owed more than one million yuan!"

"Judging from the current situation, if there is no appropriation, these two factories will be shut down, not to mention these more orders!"

Lin Ziran frowned slightly after hearing this, and then took Ding Quankun's report and looked at it briefly.

After a while, he put down the report and said: "These two factories must not stop working, not only can they not stop working, but they must continue to increase production." ”

After saying this, Lin Ziran paused slightly and continued: "As for the money, I will write a note when I go back, and let the finance department raise a sum of money to send to these two factories as soon as possible!" ”

Ding Quankun listened: "If the funds are sufficient, there is no problem for the two factories to continue to expand!" ”

Saying that, Ding Quankun sighed: "This war is too expensive, even if we can produce weapons and ammunition on our own, but it is still too expensive, according to this way of fighting, we and I ammunition reserves and funds can support two large-scale battles at most, no matter whether we win or lose after the battle, I am afraid that the finances will go bankrupt directly!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Fighting, how can there be a war that doesn't cost money!" ”
