Inside the ward of the 1st Field Hospital. Lao Mu was lying on the hospital bed.

"It's beautiful now." Yang Lin said to Lao Mu.

"Huh." Lao Mu said with a helpless smile.

"Just wait. The chief will definitely come over and scold you. Something like this happens. "Yang Lin can't even speak.

"That's right. That's right. If something like this happens again, it's not going to be easy. Lao Mu said.

"Sir." That's when it happened. Sangwu came in. The salute of the staff officer arrived.

Shang Wu looked at Lao Mu's injuries and recuperated.

"Sir." Lao Mu said with a smile.

"You scolded him?" Shang Wu asked Yang Lin.

"Yes. It's sir. Yang Lin nodded helplessly and agreed.

"Alright. I don't want to say anything more. I don't want to say anything more about such things. Your future will be the Air Force, a technical branch of the armed forces, and you may have to fight at some stage in the future, and you will have to give full play to the combat effects of surprise soldiers. You are the most powerful force with the will to fight and the most powerful set of skills, and equipping weapon platforms is the most cutting-edge weapon. Shang Wu said.

"If you don't understand technology, if you train like this, something big will happen, you just broke your leg this time, and next time something happens to you with the soldier's life. What do I see you do? Shang Wu scolded

"Sir. I, I was wrong. "Lao Mu knew he was doing something wrong. Lao Mu is able to realize his mistakes in time.

"Forget it. I don't want to talk about you anymore. Sum up the experience yourself. Don't make a big accident on this. Shang Wu said helplessly. And then I got out of here. No matter how much they say, it depends on their own understanding.

Inside the munitions factory. Jia Xu and a team of staff officers were visiting the new weapons invented by the military factory research institute.

"What kind of weapon is this?" An officer asked.

"Platoon guns." One craftsman explained. Many students looked at this new weapon, in fact, it is a weapon with several barrels stuck in the top of the wooden weapon, and when used, it can be fired violently by rapid ignition, and such a shot will attack the enemy.

"When this weapon shoots, it can shoot more and more projectiles at once, and as long as the enemy dares to rush in densely, such a weapon can quickly deal with them." The craftsman explained. Many students looked at such weapons with curiosity. However, from a practical point of view, it seems that such a weapon is not very practical enough, and after the first shot of this weapon, the second reload will be extremely troublesome. There is a large gap between the secondary shots, and when emphasizing the output of firepower, it is not a single emphasis on the first shot, but an emphasis on continuous firepower. With a shot like this, it seems that it is still difficult to meet their first needs.

The second point is that this firearm has a great disadvantage, because the multiple barrels are connected together, which leads to an increase in the weight of the weapon, which needs to be attached to the trolley for use, and the mobility of the weapon is greatly limited, and in such a case, their situation is indeed very unfavorable. This would make their situation extremely bad. Fit one of the situations they least want to accept.

Despite the fact that this weapon has a significant advantage in firepower in a shorter time. But for real combat. This weapon is not very significant. Weapons of an experimental nature are not bad.

In order to better understand their weapons, and at the same time to provide these future commanders with a new way of thinking in technology to solve problems. Shangwu decided to organize the trainees to visit and study the military factory without interruption, so that they could understand the weapons, understand the properties and technology of the weapons, and let them have a basic understanding, so that their situation could become much better.

And the students also like this kind of weapon tour very much, because many weapons can instantly open up a way of thinking.

"Come and see, this weapon is our favorite weapon. You see. One of the students shouted loudly. Many students came to see it at once. This surprised them because they saw an amazing discovery all at once.

The previous muskets used a single marble. Marbles are usually a single shot, which makes them very powerful and penetrating, but they are extremely disadvantageous in the trenches, because they cannot kill the enemy at once. This requires the shooter to hit the opponent accurately, and if the shot is not accurate, the opponent will still fight, and there are many people in the trenches, so the battle becomes extremely unfavorable. This is the biggest challenge for them.

"Such a weapon is capable of hitting a large area at once. Although the range is very limited, the range of the musket is limited, so it is strange that we can shoot in the general direction when we are in the trench battle, and suddenly pass over to one side, pounce on it, and not be shot. One of the students said. They're talking about the early ***. A special type of shotshot. This bullet is made up of a large number of small iron balls wrapped in grease paper. When shooting, ** push them, and then the paper spreads out, and it will come over in a fan. He is a face-killing weapon, and such a weapon will pose a great threat to them. This weapon will be very powerful.

"Hmm. This weapon is good and effective against cavalry. If we are equipped with this kind of bullet, our weapons will not be afraid of cavalry. The enemy's cavalry rushed over, and with just a few of these muskets, they could kill and wound many of them at once, which would be of great benefit to us. One of the students said.

"Hmm. I also think so, this kind of weapon, against infantry, when climbing the city wall to fight, is also very beneficial. The other students discussed.

"Ah, gentlemen craftsmen? There are no bullets here that can shoot far, the range of this musket is too close. We don't have very high requirements, muskets that can hit a hundred paces, there should be, at least it should be a little longer than the range of the craftsman, if there is such a musket, our situation will be much better. One student asked.

"This. There is also some research on such a weapon, but such a weapon can only be made by some talented craftsmen, after all, the processing of this weapon is very difficult and great. In such a situation, the quantity we manufacture is very limited, and there is a strict limit on the number of times it can be used. One craftsman explained.

Hear such an answer. Many students can only accept it. Many of the trainees felt that the range of the musket was simply too close. Despite his great killing power, there are still many, many problems. The persistence of the musket is not very effective. The range is too close. They wanted the musket to extend to a combat distance of a hundred paces. In this way, the safety of the soldier can be greatly guaranteed, but if you want to extend the firepower of the musket, it seems that it is difficult to achieve such a situation with the current technology.

The first is that the barrel must be rifled. The second seal has to be better, the third marble has to be improved more and more, in short, they have a lot to do, a lot, and in such a situation, it still seems a little unrealistic to do such a thing. This is the current situation.

But the fact that the trainees visited the arsenal and presented their research results was a huge step forward in itself, and in the face of such a progress, many people had to make great results to make their situation much better.

"Hey, why doesn't this musket have an arquebus?" During the visit, some of the cadets finally discovered the new weapons displayed in the arsenal.

"That is, where is this arquebus, and how can you shoot without it?" The students asked.

"It's a flintlock pistol, leaning on the flint, rubbing against the iron piece to produce sparks, and then igniting the **, and then firing." Shang Wu explained this after returning from Lao Mu.

"Sir." The students saluted.

"This musket doesn't require soldiers to take care of the arquebus. It can be lighter when shooting. The speed of the shot will also increase, and the caliber of the barrel will be much lower, but the power will not be reduced. Shang Wu explained.

"The most important thing is that muskets can be made a little smaller." As he spoke, Shang Wu took two small pistols, which were single-shot flintlock pistols. The range was not very far, and sometimes the power could not be very large, but this solved a big problem, that is, the cavalry could be equipped with such firearms.

"These weapons were made specifically for cavalry. Muskets could be made smaller, making it easier for them to use on horseback. Of course. The number of muskets had to be prepared a lot, because the horses were very jolting. Unable to reload a second time, they can only equip a few more at a time, and after firing, they need to find a safe place to reload for battle. Shang Wu explained. This was the most common state of the Musketeers, and the advantage of the Musketeers over the northern nomadic cavalry, who used bows and arrows, was their assault power. The musket was able to open a gap and then expand in size with the pike's dash. It seems that the fighting between the cavalry still needs a lot of progress.

"Sir, the power of such a musket seems to be a little small." One student said.

"Therefore, the way the cavalry fights also has to change, and they also need another kind of firearm cover, horse artillery. The light horse cannon can quickly unleash the fire, and his caliber is not very large, but it must be able to keep up with the speed of the cavalry and rely on the artillery to kill and wound the enemy. And not by the cavalry to rush over. Inflict great damage on the enemy. Shang Wu said. The students agreed. But they haven't seen the horse artillery yet.
