Fear made Dong Zhuojun tilt more defensive resources to the third line of defense, and barbed wire was just some of them. More about artillery. Because it's their biggest killer.
"Hurry, hurry." Soldiers in addition to this transport artillery of the population. Although there are already five cows to tow. But the weight of the cannon was too heavy. Coupled with the potholes and potholes of the road, the speed of transportation can never be lifted. This only made the soldiers even more annoyed. So they used all kinds of "tools" to urge.
The artillery transported by the people collected in Luoyang was all used for defense by the Xiyuan New Army, and these guns were installed on the Luoyang City Gate Tower as fixed firepower. Because it was cast with cheap iron, and the casting process of the iron cannon was extremely immature, the weight of the cannon was very heavy, and the lowest one was more than 5,000 catties. There are also two doors that weigh an astonishing 8,000 pounds. Such heavy artillery was used as a stationary artillery. But in reality, these guns were never used again, except for the shells that were tested at the beginning.
Dong Zhuojun lost some artillery before, and the new artillery has not been transported in place, and the remaining artillery cannot meet the needs of the defense line, Dong Zhuo can only use these artillery pieces to make up the number, no one can know whether these artillery guns can be fired, because it is very troublesome to adjust, let alone transport. It took them more than 3,000 to get the guns down. There are a lot of people transporting it now, but even so, the speed is still very slow.
Such artillery was used purely to increase confidence, because such artillery was too bulky. It was simply impossible to maneuver effectively, and in defensive operations, the speed of adjustment was very slow, and the process of casting artillery was not very good. After seeing it, the old artillerymen in Dong Zhuo's army shook their heads. It's too easy to blow up. They don't want to risk their lives to make such jokes.
The state soldiers could not attack. However, Dong Zhuojun frantically concentrated a large number of artillery on the front line. Although many of them were not very good artillery, even some weapons were quickly armed.
Dong Zhuojun, who had discarded a large number of weapons, re-armed and reorganized the troops at the first time, such as a long gun. This thing is extremely troublesome to load and use, but it doesn't seem to be strong. The new flintlock style is also in place. Faced with such a line of defense. Guo Yan seems to feel that his defenses will increase a lot.
Luzhou. Reorganized the 12th Infantry Division station. A considerable part of the soldiers were stationed at their new training grounds. The 5th Integrated Infantry Regiment also came here. However, they are not here to simply station, but to receive new training.
"If it's a penetrating wound, do a simple cleanup. Once the bleeding has stopped, it is time to bandage. The paramedics will provide first aid, and the paramedics need to treat different injuries. Okay, let's do some training now, and I'm going to get the names out. A doctor wearing a white mask and a white lab coat said. The soldiers gathered around and looked at the various windows of the blood hula and, of course, the various specimens soaked in alcohol.
At first, some soldiers simply could not accept this, although those pieces of meat, offal, were from pigs, cattle and sheep. The specimen was borrowed from the medical school. It's a real human specimen, something from the corpses of some condemned prisoners, enemies on the battlefield. But that's enough to make some of the young guys feel very uncomfortable.
"Gross." The smell of more blood was in the air. Some of the soldiers still couldn't restrain themselves and vomited. The smell of vomiting is very uncomfortable, and there seems to be an urge to vomit.
Cao Ang, as the platoon commander, had to watch it personally, and he couldn't stand it. They didn't take such a course. I don't know which chief came up with such an idea, it's very good. Cao Ang thought in his heart.
The officers and men were forced to endure all kinds of uncomfortable learning and treatment, as well as all kinds of traumatic treatment. Of course, the medics have to be more careful.
This is a new order from the General Staff. A staff officer on a whim saw the recruit unit set up. The results of the training were very poor. As a veteran, he knew that adding more training time could not achieve a qualitative change, and only soldiers who had been on the battlefield and seen blood could complete the qualitative transformation.
However, the current war conflicts are relatively small, and it is difficult to find such a place where combat can be carried out, and exercises are usually considered to have a very fake posture. How can we make soldiers grow up as soon as possible? So, he came up with the idea of letting the field hospitals and related medical staff and students in various parts of the garrison go to the army to teach them some medical knowledge, after all, this is a war of firearms, and it is easy to cause more large-scale trauma. Especially recruits, when they see blood in a place, they become extremely nervous, unnatural, and even they themselves cannot overcome such a situation.
And learning to tie it can make them become normal and no longer overly sensitive to blood.
Doing so will also minimize further casualties. That's a step forward. Cao Ang thought so.
The Republican Army is actively preparing for war, for example, this kind of training is very thoughtful, if everyone learns some medical skills in bandaging, it can greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers, and at the same time, too early contact with some bloody things can reduce the irritation of soldiers on the battlefield in the future. Let them react as soon as possible and adapt to the battlefield environment.
Cao Ang didn't know what the starting point of this staff officer was, but this kind of training was indeed very effective.
In addition, there are many other aspects of training, or games, such as football, or games like rugby, which are very confrontational.
In terms of training, learning to fight is also crucial, and the Republican Army rewards officers and soldiers with special talents in this area very highly, which can stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight even more. And, of course, morale. This requires the initiative of the officers to encourage them. Cao Ang thought of improving the soldiers' food, and if needed, providing alcoholic beverages for a certain period of time, so that the soldiers' belligerence could be stimulated even more. Perhaps this is a new development of use.
The IRA has prepared a lot in this regard. It can be seen that the Republican Army will have a larger-scale combat operation in the future. They were very well prepared.
Lijiazhuang. War Department.
"According to the current situation, it seems to be unfavorable to Dong Zhuojun, but from another point of view, Dong Zhuojun has more advantages." Jia Xu analyzed. The intelligence collected by the intelligence department is very unfavorable to Dong Zhuojun, and in Luoyang City, some people are ready to move, and they don't have a good impression of Dong Zhuo at all. Although Dong Zhuo tried to support Chen Liuwang to get the support of some people, there were too many people who opposed it, and besides, he was also challenged by the soldiers of the state, and the situation was very unfavorable to him, once he failed, Dong Zhuo would fall completely. Therefore, some people in the city are very unimpressed by this.
But after the compression, Dong Zhuojun's defense line has been greatly strengthened. Their forces were much denser than before, and the number of firearms had increased considerably. Coupled with the use of many defensive tools, this is more beneficial to Dong Zhuojun. Jia Xu said.
"Well, actually, there's another factor that we need to be aware of as well. That is, the soldiers did not seem to be very interested in firearms. Shang Wu took out another piece of information.
"According to the observation of our special personnel, the soldiers of the state have captured a large number of firearms, which were lost when Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, and the number ranges from 3,000 to 7,000, which is quite a lot. In addition, there was more ammunition, but the state soldiers did not use it, equipped with these weapons, and what our special forces saw with their binoculars was that they just treated these weapons as trophies, and did not use them, they still used their original equipment. Shang Wu said.
"In future wars, the advantages of firearms are already extremely obvious. However, the soldiers still have such prejudices about firearms. Shang Wu said about a detailed characteristic.
"They must lose if they want to be undefeated." Shang Wu said. The coach of the state seems to be biased, and this prejudice directly caused him to miss an era. Shang Wu believes that this is an important reason for the other party's failure. For the rest, Shang Wu believes that there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
"Perhaps. I hope they themselves can remember such a lesson, otherwise, they would not be able to do such a thing themselves. Jia Xu said.
Jia Xu is also not optimistic about the Bingzhou soldiers, because their troops are very limited, on the contrary, Dong Zhuo's army has a lot of troops, especially the use of a large number of firearms.
How to say, the firearms soldiers are very powerful and the lethality is very strong, but the cost of this kind of troops is extremely low, and it is easy to organize, which can make it easy for Dong Zhuo to obtain enough troops and achieve an overwhelming advantage in numbers, on the contrary, the Bingzhou soldiers do not have such an advantage, the more powerful they attack, the more amazing their own losses are, and finally it will inevitably lead them into a state of loss, which is extremely unfavorable to them. Therefore, Jia Xu is very optimistic about Dong Zhuojun, but he does not have too many reasons to be optimistic about the state soldiers.
"At present, we should pay attention to other things, infrastructure construction, especially the construction of roads and bridges, for example, we need to build some bridges on Pujindu, add more means of transportation to increase our transportation volume, otherwise, in the end, we will be stuck in such transportation volume." Shang Wu said. As for the problem of transportation, this is what Shangwu is concerned about.
