Taihang Mountain Mountains.

Zhang Dazhu's convoy is struggling to dock here. Because the road ahead is mountainous, it is particularly difficult to walk. Difficult to walk means that some of their situations are not too good to jump.

"Big pillar. The mountain road was too difficult to walk, and the brothers' physical strength was too great. And a person simply can't go down such a difficult road. Lao Yang said. Lao Yang is a guide who specializes in running around, has been to all places, and has a lot of experience. This is Zhang Dazhu's first talent.

"No, I can't. Our military supplies are too much needed. The front line also needs this batch of military supplies. So let's take a break, a few of us, and push this car forward. Then run back, push again, and have some difficulties. Let's do something else. In this case, the mountain road should be able to be walked. Zhang Dazhu said helplessly.

"That's the only way to do it. Such an approach can solve many practical problems. Lao Yang said.

The roads in the mountain area are very difficult to walk, with a lot of uphill and downhill places, and the roads here are not smooth. So, they didn't go very well. It's hard to go on in such a situation.

In addition, Zhang Dazhu bought some unicycles, and their unicycles used iron wheels. Bearings were used. Some of the frames are also made of iron. In this way, they can load a lot more goods. If transported on flat ground. One can also push, but once it encounters mountainous areas. Their wheelbarrow will not be able to move forward. Because human motivation is very limited. It is impossible for them to do something like this in such a steep mountainous area. In such a situation, their situation is really not good. In such a situation, their situation will become extremely unfavorable. This is their biggest passive situation. In such a situation, the problem of the lack of power of their unicycle is difficult to solve.

There may be two solutions, the first is to improve their road conditions, so that their situation can change a lot. But in a short period of time, the condition of the road cannot be solved, after all, the cost is still very large. The second is to lift the transport vehicle. The first thing to solve here is the power problem. But the best motivation at the moment is animal power. Manpower is also limited.

Zhang Dazhu and the others pushed the wheelbarrow one after another with difficulty. They were transporting new rifles, flintlock pistols. The military factories increased production, and all the 1,000 flintlock muskets produced at once were transported to the front-line troops. Zhang Dazhu accomplished such a task. However, the flintlock pistol is still a simple flintlock pistol. In the equipment of the Republican Army, there is still another type of troops. Spearmen.

Lijiazhuang, the first arsenal. The First Arsenal has now become a very large arsenal, and it has covered an area of more than 10,000 acres. It's just a main plant. There are also three auxiliary factories of different sizes nearby. They mainly produce some parts and components, as well as ammunition. Because ammunition is an extremely dangerous thing.

"This flintlock pistol is a good gun. However, this still required spearmen. Cao Cao said.

"We have been studying recently, this spearman is less distributed, but it is too little, and it is difficult to complete a certain increase in combat effectiveness. It's hard. Cao Cao said. The flintlock pistol was developed, but the flintlock pistol existed only as a weapon with a high rate of fire, and most of the pistols were concentrated in reserve cavalry units. Flintlock pistols were also given to elite infantry. As hand-to-hand weapons, spearmen still existed, as they needed to cover a certain lack of rate of fire.

Therefore, a certain problem has arisen, that is, how many spearmen are equipped, there are too few spearmen to play the role of hand-to-hand combat, and too many, the whole formation is too bloated, which is an extremely unfavorable thing for combat operations, and such things are for everyone. are extremely disadvantageous. So, this issue is actually a big one. In this regard, a balance cannot be reached within the military academy. Because the role of spearmen is still strong.

"Nope. No need to equip spearmen. It's time for the spearmen to go down in history. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Knock out the spearmen? This, is this possible? Flintlock muskets, as well as the rapid-fire of musketeers, were simply not able to fight the cavalry, and how could this be done in such a situation. It simply doesn't work. Cao Cao objected.

"Nope. I'm not talking about this, but about the emergence of a new type of weapon, the bayonet. Shang Wu waved his hand at this time, and an engineer came up with a bayonet and said this.

"You see, this is the sleeve bayonet. The bayonet is attached to the barrel of the gun, which does not affect the shooting, and at the same time allows for assassination. In this way, they are equivalent to being transformed into spearmen under certain circumstances, but at the same time they also have a certain shooting function. This kind of equipment is a big step forward for us, it will make our army very combative, and such a thing will solve most of our problems to a great extent. Shang Wu demonstrated with a sleeve bayonet.

All of a sudden, the rifle in the hands of the warriors turned into a spear, but his length was somewhat short compared to the spear, and such a length was simply impossible to fight, but this was enough for infantry against cavalry.

"Is this possible?" Cao Cao asked, looking at the flintlock pistol and bayonet in Shang Wu's hand. He believed that the bayonet solved such a problem, but it was a compromise, and a professional spearman would still be of great use. And specially made bayonets. It seems that there are still certain difficulties. He thinks so.

"The ancients had certain difficulties. But we must have such weapons and equipment, we should see. Such weapons would have a big impact on us, and without such an impact, many of our things would be difficult to continue. Shang Wu said.

"The appearance of the bayonet specifically eliminated the existence of spearmen, he is of revolutionary significance, if the rate of fire of the rifle is increased, and the number of rifle equipment, the bayonet space is relatively reduced, and the bayonet makes up for the shortcomings of the musketeer can not fight in close combat, I think, such a weapon, can meet our needs to the greatest extent, this is an inevitable need." Shang Wu said.

"In this way, the infantry tactics will also change a lot." Cao Cao suddenly realized something, the appearance of flintlock bayonets, so that the infantry tactics have changed a lot, first of all, the arquebus is about to be eliminated. Because the arquebus is not conducive to concealment, and the flintlock pistol can do this, when the second arquebus fights, it is also necessary to equip a certain spearman, and assassination is something that the musketeer cannot do, but the appearance of the bayonet is all of a sudden. In particular, the weight of flintlock muskets was drastically reduced. The barrel he used was done in a special way, which meant that the cost of manufacturing the musket would increase and the rate of fire would increase. And the musketeers prepared a lot, and the firepower increased even more. And the bayonet was an important weapon way to eliminate spearmen.

"In this way, all the problems will be completely reversed." Shang Wu said. The appearance of a set of systematic weapons will have a huge impact, and the Republican Army will be the first to go to the forefront of military weapons, tactical changes. And the Republican Army's war against Hedong was born under such circumstances.

Cao Cao could also feel it. If the production of these weapons increases again, the chances will have a big impact.

Hedong. In a small mountain village in the Nakajo Mountains, the people here have finally returned to their homes, and life in the mountains is unbearable. Good home. The IRA is stationed here. Keeping them safe, it gives them a sense of security for the first time.

"Bang." Inside the courtyard of a farmhouse made of stone. There was a sound of heavy slapping.

"How. Damn, what's going on with this mountain brigade, how can it be possible for the Huns and the Baibo Army to knock out an infantry squad. Fuck. What is this fighting. Will there be a war, will not go home. Ma Heng was very annoyed, they had just come here, and he was very annoyed when such news came out all of a sudden. But the problem is that tantrums can't solve such a problem.

"Sir. Let off steam. This is still the speed of our company's retreat, otherwise, it will be bitten to death. A staff officer said worriedly.

"You're embarrassed to say it. Tell me what you are doing, I am still waiting for the plan to destroy a battalion of the enemy, but they first wiped out a squad of our army, and their heads were chopped off. Ma Heng scolded in annoyance. He couldn't wait to run to the mountain brigade headquarters in person. scolded the red lady Zhang Xian, but it was useless.

"Sir, we lack intelligence on the front line, so we have to send some troops out to reconnoiter intelligence. The cavalry came too fast, we didn't have time to retreat at all, that squad stayed to fight and block, and no one in the squad took the initiative to retreat. Weapons were also not seized. In the end, they were all destroyed. The staff officer said.

"Alas. Never mind. Ma Heng was very annoyed. But again I had to calm down. Originally, they also wanted to inflict a heavy blow on the Hun cavalry, but what they didn't expect was that the other party first gave themselves a dismount.

"Take the troops back, set up an ambush, and we're going to eat them. Ambush is our strength, take the initiative to attack, our two legs, after all, no other horseman's four legs run fast. There's no way around it. Ma Heng said helplessly.

"As for the intelligence, it should be collected slowly, not in a hurry. Give a report to the soldiers who died in battle. Let them rest in peace. This is a lesson that must be dealt with carefully. Ma Heng said.
