Chapter 56: Two Tactical Groups
This battle was very hard, very thrilling, and even almost killed, but fortunately, the risk and the benefit were completely proportional, and Zhao Hunt could be said to have gained a lot.
The first is to get a 1,500-stone class seventy-percent new warship that has been launched for only three years. It's a good thing that is hard to buy with money. Secondly, a group of skilled boatmen, sailors and Zhuang Ding were obtained. The owner of Bi Duan'an Bi Zhuang died, these people lost their owners, so they naturally didn't dare to go back, plus their lives were saved by Zhao Hunt, and they saw him kill two hundred pirates with the strength of several people, and the famous Chaoyang Kou Chen Yi died in his hands. All of them are impressed and willing to be driven by them. Bi's shipload of goods naturally became one of the gains of this battle.
The biggest takeaway from Chen Yi's boat was a nautical chart. Along the coast, where there are docks, where there are undercurrents, where there are reefs, where there are secret supplies...... and so on.
Zhao Lie didn't think there was anything when he saw it, but Tong was at the helm like a treasure, saying that with this map, he would not dare to say that coastal navigation would be like walking on flat ground in the future, at least the survival rate would be greatly improved.
In addition to the above tangible gains, for Zhao Lie, what he is more satisfied with is the intangible harvest - his tactical team has finally formed a real combat effectiveness after this battle. As long as we make good improvements on this basis, sum up experience, and appropriately add a few groups of squads. At that time, it is not impossible to fight against several times as many enemies.
As for the next batch of newcomers - looking at the appearance of Zhang Junbao, Grasshopper, Kuromaru and other teenagers whose eyes are glued to firearms, Zhao Lie knows that he has to train new recruits again.
This can be regarded as an additional bonus from this battle.
Of course, there are also some gains that Zhao Hunt wants, such as pirate captives.
After the war, more than 40 pirates were captured, and a considerable number of them had gunshot wounds. If the dynasty is still there, it is not a small credit to sacrifice these captives. Even if they are handed over to the maritime merchants of Fujian and Guangzhou, who have been poisoned by them over the years, there will be a large number of people vying to "snap up".
It's just that Zhao Liezhi is not here, and he doesn't want to risk making these small money. Although all of these pirate captives were good at sea, Zhao Lie didn't want any of them.
After public discussion, it was finally decided that when passing through Xiangshan, let Ma Nanchun contact his brother and send someone to escort the pirate to Ma's house, which was a gift to Ma's family.
Before setting off from Haifeng, Ma Nanchun originally wanted to take this opportunity to facilitate a meeting between Zhao Lie and his brother to further strengthen the cooperation between the two sides. I didn't expect to go through so many twists and turns, and even fought a vicious battle, everyone was tired and injured. Especially at the moment when the two ships collided, many of the children in the bilge were bleeding from their heads, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and in serious cases, their bones were broken, but fortunately, no one died.
Zhao Lie didn't want to appear in the Ma family with such an embarrassed team, so he didn't have to be looked down upon, so he insisted on returning to the mountain.
……
Seven days later, the mountain, the beach.
It's still the familiar beach, it's still the familiar action, but the people are no longer the same people as they used to be, but a group of teenagers.
Ten twelve or thirteen-year-old boys were shirtless, holding long and short guns, and the barrels of the guns were hanging from the sand-filled conch, practicing hard.
The instructor is still Zhao Lie, this is his direct team, he must always be an instructor, and he must not fake his hands to others. On the training ground, the trainees must be absolutely obedient to the instructor; On the battlefield, the soldier must be absolutely obedient to the commander. In the long run, Zhao Lie, who is holding these two positions, still needs to worry about his warriors not being loyal enough?
Firearms are off-the-shelf and do not need to be manufactured separately. At the beginning, the black gun gang had manufactured a batch of firearms and was preparing to ship them, but they were all blown up into the sky, which cheapened Zhao Hunt. Zhao hunted some of his armed companions, and the rest was used to train a ten-man team and had a surplus.
Yang Ming, who was carefully recuperating from his injuries, often wore crutches to watch the teenagers train, and more often watched Zhao Lie, Ding Xiaoyi and others shooting at the shooting range. Everyone just smiled kindly, didn't say anything, and let him see.
"You should cherish this hard-won opportunity. Look at those big men, you can only play with knives and axes, and your eyes are green when you practice guns...... "Under the scorching sun, Zhao Lie turned his hands behind his back, patrolled back and forth, and shouted loudly while correcting the movements of the young man.
The teenagers were proud and excited, their chests were firmer, and their hands and feet that were trembling were a little more stable.
The second tactical team, also known as the "junior tactical squad", as the name suggests, is composed of a group of teenagers, and as long as they are teenagers, they are not adults. It's a pity that among the 32 orphans, only 10 are of the same age, and they can't get as much as they want. The remaining twenty-two are either under the age of 10 or girls — not every girl is Ding Xiaoyi.
Those boatmen and Zhuang Ding who followed Zhao Lie to Yushan, many of them asked to join the team and were rejected. The sharpest weapon must be in the hands of the most loyal and reliable people, and the principle of Zhao Hunt's selection is first and foremost trust.
However, Zhao Lie did not completely refuse the enthusiasm of the shipwrights and Zhuang Ding, and did not let them join the thermal weapons team, but built a new team, distributed the weapons seized from the pirates to them, and then let Shi Yang be an instructor to teach the laws of regular water warfare and military prohibitions, and implement strict militarized management.
Zhao Lie has never been a soldier, but the cadet management system of the police academy is not inferior to that of the recruit company. In the past, there were few people who were not particular, but now there are sixty or seventy people under his command, and it is time for militarized management. Zhao Lie only needs to formulate appropriate regulations for the management system of police academy cadets and implement them.
Zhao Lie promised the fifteen-member Third Tactical Team (also known as the "Naval Battle Squad") that if they finally passed the assessment, each of them would be issued a musket. And they were all rejoicing.
Afterwards, Ma Nanchun was puzzled and asked, "Does Brother Xian really trust these people?" ”
Zhao Lie replied: "I don't know what the future will be, but I can't believe it all right now." ”
"Then why did you promise to shoot each person?"
Zhao Lie only glanced at the shotgun on Ding Xiaoyi's back, and smiled without saying a word.
Ma Nanchun suddenly smiled heartily.
Zhao Lie only said that it was a musket, but he didn't say what kind of gun it was. You won't be given a gun after a burst of shots, but a flintlock pistol doesn't hurt.
For those who have not yet passed the trust test, they will not even be issued with a flintlock pistol, and for those who have passed the test of life and death and established a true comradeship, not only will they be issued with a gun, but also a pair of long and short weapons, that is, the main weapon and the secondary weapon.
Through a series of actual battles, especially naval battles with pirates, Zhao Lie found that it was often difficult to deal with complex battlefield situations when there was only one weapon (a gun). For example, when you are fighting with your enemy, you can't use a shotgun; With only a pistol, it is difficult to hit the enemy in a large area.
"So, I decided to get a replacement gun for each person. If you have a shotgun, you can apply for a pistol; If you have a pistol, you can apply for a shotgun. Of course, it is also possible to apply for a dual-gun handheld. ”
When Zhao Lie announced this benefit to his partners, everyone smiled, and Ding Xiaoqi even turned a hollow heel, and rushed to Zhao Hunt to stretch out his hand before his feet landed steadily: "I want a revolver!" ”
"I can give you a revolver." Zhao Lie smiled and said solemnly, "But in view of your battlefield violations, I will take back your shotgun." ”
"Ahh Ding Xiaoqi hugged his triple shots, "Then, then I don't want a revolver, I want this triple shot." ”
"A reward is a reward, a punishment is a punishment, and it should not be confused." Zhao Lie said lightly, "Do you want a revolver, or don't you want a gun?" ”
So, Ding Xiaoqi tearfully took over a imitation point 38 revolver. Although the bullets of this gun are twice as many as those of three consecutive shots, how can there be a shotgun to sweep people away!
Ding Xiaoyi put his arm around his brother's shoulders and comforted: "This time I was punished with a gun, next time you make a meritorious service, won't the gun come back." ”
Ding Xiaoqi thought about it, so it was better.
Shi Yang chose the Black Star pistol, and in the last battle at sea, when almost all the guns were helpless to use the spare plate as a shield for the pirates, it was Zhao Lie who used a Black Star to break the game, kill the thief chief in one fell swoop, and turn the tide of the battle. This scene made a deep impression on Shi Yang, he thought that this gun had a long range and great power, although it occasionally jammed, but the first two items alone were worth it.
As his name suggests, Wang Ping'an chose a revolver with a high safety factor.
Ma Nanchun did not choose a shotgun, like a person like him who has been wearing Confucian robes for many years, carrying a heavy shotgun, it is indeed nondescript. He still chose a revolver and became the second member of the team to use two guns after Zhao Lie. The reason why he chose the same gun type instead of Black Star was not only because he was stuck, but more importantly, he couldn't shoot with Black Star alone, and the recoil was too strong.
Ding Xiaoyi didn't get a new gun, because she had long been equipped with both long and short guns, with both main and secondary weapons, and she also had the only scope. People are content, but they must also be interesting. Ding Xiaoyi is sometimes very arrogant, and sometimes he is also thoughtful and self-conscious.
It is worth mentioning that Jueyuan also got a shotgun - Ding Xiaoyi's triple shot.
Zhao Lie always felt that the firepower network of his six-person tactical team was a little thin, and it was best to have eight people. Jue Yuan is very skilled, has a good character, and is a comrade-in-arms in the same trouble, so it is best to pull him into the tactical team.
Jueyuan is a cultivator who pays attention to restraining his inner desires. Although he had long longed for the musket in his heart, he never said it, and when he saw the gun, he didn't even see the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, and when he took the gun, he only thanked him lightly and expressed his willingness to join. But Zhao Lie still saw from the monk's slightly raised eyebrows that this monk was really a martial monk.
After the weapons were distributed, Zhao Lie came up with a set of enhanced tactical moves that are more suitable for fighting against cold weapons + massive enemies, and he was ready to run in with his old and new partners.
Zhao Lie planned to train for a month, and when the two teams completed the basic training, they were almost familiar with each other, and the food would run out, so Toma Nanchun would purchase a batch of supplies, and then sail to sea as planned. However, the plan did not change quickly, and the visit of three uninvited guests added to his plans.
"Brother Zhao, there are visitors again, it's the same person last time."
"What? The man last time ...... Jiang Fenglie? ”
"Also, the Darkclaw Leader is here."
"Ouyang Guanhou!"
"There is another person, the leader is bigger than both of them, and the two of them follow behind like followers."
Zhao Lie was moved, can he make characters like Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou willing to follow, is it ......
