Chapter 175: The Meat Brought to the Mouth Must Be Eaten

Wu Guanlin's words made Lin Ziran a little worried about Nanguangcheng's defense line.

Today's defense line is very perfect in Wu Guanlin's opinion, but in Lin Ziran's opinion, it is still a little dangerous, and it must be reinforced, and it must be reinforced!

Time is tight, but it's as good as you can get.

But Lin Ziran also knew that just relying on the passive defense of the fortifications would not work when the enemy attacked the city, and he had to carry out a firepower counterattack.

Especially the counterattack of artillery fire.

If the Guang'an army wants to attack Nanguang City, it will definitely not foolishly let the infantry rush forward, but will use a large number of artillery and even heavy artillery to bombard Nanguang City to destroy these strong fortifications and kill and injure the defenders hiding behind the fortifications.

When the artillery bombardment was almost over, it was estimated that it was time for their infantry to attack.

Lin Ziran pondered for a while, then pointed to the nine-pound new field gun on the platform that was protected by the annular sandbag fortifications and said, "Can our artillery hit the enemy's artillery in advance at a long distance?" ”

Wu Guanlin's expression was obviously excited at this time: "My lord is wise, this is the key to the defensive tactics we have formulated!" ”

Wu Guanlin pointed to the artillery pieces on the fort and said: "Although our new nine-pound field gun has only one company, its effective range is long enough and accurate enough, and it can effectively kill and injure the enemy at a distance of 1,500 meters. ”

"If a grenade or grenade is fired, although the effective range will be slightly reduced, it can still be guaranteed to be more than 1,000 meters, and the lethality of enemy mobile personnel is better."

"The artillery of the Guang'an people is all traditional artillery, and the artillery units of their divisions and brigades are generally equipped with five-pound field guns and nine-pound field guns, in addition to some eighteen-pound field howitzers."

"Their eighteen-pound field howitzer will have an effective firing range of no more than nine hundred meters."

"If their nine-pound field guns fire solid shells, the effective range is farther, but if they want to achieve lethality and a certain accuracy, they also need to enter within a thousand meters, and only the solid shells fired by the nine-pound artillery guns have almost no threat to our defense line."

"If their nine-pound field guns want to fire grenades or grenade shotguns, they must venture to 800 meters or even closer."

"As for their five-pound field guns, the effective firing range is even lower!"

"Our field artillery will have a huge range advantage over the enemy's field artillery, and can deliver a devastating blow to the enemy's artillery units even before they enter the predetermined position."

"Once their artillery units have been suppressed or even destroyed, their infantry units will not even be able to get close to our lines, let alone launch an attack."

Lin Ziran looked at the artillery in front of him, and at the same time continued to ask, "What if they transfer the heavy artillery?" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "Even if they transfer those large-caliber cannons and heavy short-barreled howitzers of 64 catties or even more than 100 catties mobilized for the counterattack on Chongguangcheng, we still have the help of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, and it is impossible to suffer losses with the strength of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment." ”

At this time, Dong Yashan, the captain of his new pro-army team and concurrently an adjutant, quietly stepped forward and said: "The Second Cavalry Company has sent back the news this morning, their men have converged with the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, and are now helping the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to go south, and it is expected to arrive this evening." ”

After Lin Ziran heard this, he nodded slightly!

But my heart was thinking.

In the past, he thought that these nine-pound field artillery was good, but listening to Wu Guanlin's words today, he knew that if he wanted to play this kind of defensive operation or offensive battle, heavy artillery was indispensable.

There is a chance to get the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment in hand!

This Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment used to belong to the Cheng family's descendants, and later it became Feng Haozhong's subordinate troops without knowing what happened, but it doesn't matter, no matter what the process is, Lin Ziran plans to get this Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment in his hands.

It's all meat delivered to your mouth, and you have to eat it!

If he doesn't eat it, he can't live up to the expectations of billions of people on Earth!

And most importantly, it's a real heavy artillery unit!

Daheng is a broken place, the feudal towns are fighting more and more fiercely, not to mention a large number of cavalry, and all of them have heavy artillery, there are several heavy artillery regiments on the side of the Luo'an army, although there are fewer on the side of the Guang'an army, but there will definitely be heavy artillery troops.

If there is no heavy artillery unit, it is estimated that you can only play mobile combat!

After the inspection in the morning, Lin Ziran was a little worried about the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, so he directly sent the Second Infantry Battalion, and at the same time urgently recruited hundreds of young men from the villages outside the city to respond.

It is said to be a reception, but in fact it is to help them transport artillery.

Lin Ziran had seen the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, that thing was extremely heavy, there was not enough storage and manpower, and the maneuver speed was very pitiful.

Now that the situation on the side of Chongguang Castle is too dangerous, he must let the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment arrive as soon as possible.

Long nights and dreams!

Lin Ziran's worries did not come true, and after he sent two waves successively, including more than 200 dragoons, more than 600 infantry, nearly 200 baggage soldiers, and more than 500 young and strong, a total of more than 1,500 people, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment finally arrived in Nanguang City around five days in the afternoon of the same day.

Seeing huge heavy artillery and ammunition trucks appearing under the city wall and entering the city one after another, Lin Ziran was also relieved.

Luo Mazi, who had woken up from sleep, reappeared in front of Lin Ziran, he pointed to the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment that was entering the city and said, "These big guys seem to be a lot bigger now!" ”

Not to mention, after Luo Mazi said this, Lin Ziran also felt that these cannons were larger than what they had seen before, and the number seemed to have changed a little.

He knew very well about the situation of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment before, there were a total of 23 artillery pieces in the entire Heavy Artillery Regiment, most of which were 14-pound cannons, a total of 12, and 8 24-pound heavy howitzers.

In addition, there were three large-caliber mortars, two of which were of 200 mm and one of which were 300 mm.

However, he slightly counted the artillery of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment that arrived in Nanguang City, there were only more than ten guns, but there was no 14-pound cannon in it, but it was replaced by a kind of heavy cannon that Lin Ziran had never seen, but the larger heavy cannon, the 24-pound heavy howitzer was still there, but there were only six left, and there was one more large-caliber mortar.

At this time, Kong Deyi, the commander of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, also took several officers of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to the city to meet Lin Ziran.

Lin Ziran looked at him briefly, this person was about forty years old, powerful and powerful, not to mention his bald head, he looked very vicious.

If this person wears a thick plastic gold necklace, rolls up the cuffs or simply short sleeves, and shows his arm with a tattooed sticker, and then runs to a roadside stall for supper and brags, he will be watched by every patrol patrolman uncle.
