As Zhao expected, the exercise was won by the red side. Shotgun close-range suppression is very obvious, and Red's weapons are subject to various restrictions, such as the lack of pistols and the lack of burst suppression; The shotgun also failed to take advantage of the shotgun and had to aim to hit, while the biggest advantage of the shotgun was the first to start, without the need to aim at the diffuse.

Through this exercise, Zhao Lie believed that in actual combat, the two teams with complete weapons and equipment could completely annihilate 30 crossbowmen like the blue team at a very small cost or even zero casualties. But what if you run into Mongol soldiers?

Zhao Lie had fought against the Mongol soldiers of Saliman, but it was a blitzkrieg, and the Mongols were clearly stunned by the unprecedented firearms, and quickly retreated with heavy casualties. So in fact, the Dragon Bird Army has not really had a head-to-head battle with the Meng Yuan Army. If this day really comes, will the Dragon Bird Army, which is destined to be weak, be able to defeat the powerful Mengyuan Army?

Zhao Liezheng's thoughts were flying, and the results report of the exercise judge came to his ears: "In this exercise, it took two sticks of incense before and after, and the red side captured the flag and killed the generals, won with the advantage, and six people were out...... Sixteen players were out of the blue side. But there was a little accident during the practice......"

The generals were nodding and smiling frequently, and they were all stunned when they heard the words.

Shi Yang's mouth was fast: "What accident?" ”

"There was a Thunder Squad member who did not check thoroughly and mistakenly filled in a real bullet. The exercise calibration was also the first operation, and it was negligent for a while and failed to detect ......"

Zhao Lie's face was grim: "Did you shoot this real bullet?" ”

The exercise judge bowed his head: "Shot." ”

"Does it hurt?"

"I injured two BLU players, one bruised his arm, and it was fine; One person injured his face and ear, and after emergency treatment by the doctor, the lead has been dug up, and there is no serious problem. It's just that the team member broke the ......"

Jiang Fenglie said solemnly: "Even if it is a mistake, it must not be punished. ”

The exercise judge said: "Yes, according to the drill regulations, the officer will be punished for inadequate inspection and negligent injury, and he must be punished with a military baton......

Zhao Lie waved his hand to stop, and sighed: "There are existing regulations, just implement them according to the rules, needless to say." ”

The exercise judge paused: "No." "I was going to step down, and I wanted to stop talking.

Zhao Lie frowned: "What's the matter?" What's the moth again? ”

The exercise judge hurriedly said: "It's nothing...... Uh, no, it wasn't a mess. It's just that this negligence was an accident. ”

Shi Yang grinned: "This is an accident, I still need to say it." Judge Wu, you have to change the way of pleading. ”

The judge of the exercise shook his head: "It's not the lower official who is pleading, it's really ...... Xia Guan had never heard of such an accident. ”

Zhao Lie heard that there was something in the words, and raised his chin to signal: "Let's hear it." ”

"That's right, according to the members of the offending team and the members of both sides who witnessed the scene, the team member was leaning against the corner of the earthen wall at that time and saw enemy crossbowmen in the alley and on the roof. He raised his hand and fired a shot at the roof, intending to shoot at the roof crossbowmen, but missed, and the shotgun hit the earthen wall under the eaves, where a stone happened to be built. As a result, the projectiles flew everywhere, and the two BLU team members guarding the alley were injured by three of the projectiles......"

Shi Yang was surprised when he heard it: "It's really an accident, is this okay?" ”

Jiang Fenglie had shot and killed the enemy with live ammunition many times, and he was quite clear about the performance of the firearm bullets, and his expression was slightly relaxed: "It turned out to be a ricochet...... However, the key to this matter is not whether or not and how to hurt people, but the fact that the officer made a mistake in the inspection and the punishment was not properly reduced. What does it mean? ”

Jiang Fenglie and the exercise judge turned their eyes to Zhao Lie, only to find that their Lord Du Tong was staring intently at something. I followed his gaze, but saw nothing.

Jiang Fenglie coughed lightly: "All ......"

Zhao Lie suddenly slammed the case, startling everyone: "Bounce and shoot!" How did I not think of that? ”

Zhao Lie remembered that when he was in the police academy, he had seen a teaching video on the application of police firearms, which mentioned that the American police have a mandatory shooting technique, that is, using a shotgun to shoot at the bottom area of the car, and using ricochets to hit the gangsters hiding behind tires or engines.

This rebound shooting technique is relatively easy to implement with a shotgun, and the muzzle velocity of a small-caliber rifle or pistol is too high, and the bullet will shatter when hitting a hard object at close range, so this shooting technique cannot be implemented. The muzzle velocity of the shotgun is low, and it can use ricochet to shoot on hard ground and ceramic walls in some places where it cannot be fired directly. Moreover, the projectile is fired in a bundle, which also effectively improves the hit rate. This technique can be used well, and it can reap unexpected results in street or mountain warfare.

After Zhao Lie's explanation, all the generals were in a trance, and they were all wonderful, and Shi Yang, who was anxious, immediately picked up the shotgun and wanted to test it on the spot. The judge of the exercise is also surprised, there is still this kind of operation to turn bad things into good things?

Zhao Lie immediately ordered: "Give the officer a third-class meritorious service, but the merit is meritorious, and the military stick is correct, and one stick cannot be missing." ”

……

At the beginning of August, Hong Siniang's reconnaissance team received news that the Xuanfu Division of Qiongzhou and the Wanhu Prefecture had learned that Ma Fuji's soldiers had been defeated and killed, and that the original plan to send ships to land from the sea and join forces with the new army of Wan'an had been aborted. All the soldiers and horses were recalled, and the whole city of Qiongguan City was on guard, and the battle was fierce. Without the important force of Ma Fuji, and the loss of the powerful stronghold of Wan'an Military City, with less than 3,000 troops in Qiongzhou Wanhu Mansion, it is still reluctant to protect itself, so don't think about attacking.

Hearing this news, Zhao Lie and the others were relieved, the Qiongzhou Yuan army was no longer able to attack, and the Leizhou Mengyuan army was in the process of recruiting ships to assemble, and when this army came to Qiongzhou, it had to rest for a while. In this way, there will be no fighting in Wan'an for at least two months, and by mid-to-late September, the Wan'an military city should be completed. The military city can only be defended if it is completed.

On the fifth day of the first month of August, Zhao Lie inspected the construction progress of the military city, which is the top priority of the whole army at present.

Wan'an Military City is a slightly rectangular quadrangular walled city, with a mountain in the northeast, which can save a section of the city wall to build. There is a river under the mountain, the name is Jinxian Water, and there is also a long river named Lingshui in the south (it was originally "a certain Lingshui", but the first word is too obscure to type, so it will be named after the river in the future). These two rivers surround the military city and form a natural barrier. At the beginning, if Ma Fuji was not eager for revenge, coupled with being too light on the enemy, he divided his troops to attack, but guarded the camp, Zhao Lie's attempt to break through the Wan'an army would never have been so smooth.

When Zhao Lie and his entourage came to the military city, the craftsmen, captives, auxiliaries and conscripted natives were all sweating like rain and working in full swing. For the craftsmen and auxiliaries, the city is all about their own lives, and no one dares to slack off. As far as the captives are concerned, if they don't work hard, they have to endure hardships, and if they want to get rid of the captives as soon as possible, they must build the city as soon as possible. The Lord of the Metropolitan has already spoken that the day the military city is built will be the time when they will regain their freedom. Who doesn't want to be freed sooner? As for the local natives, eating and working is a matter of course, and being lazy will be dismissed, and when the time comes, there will be no food to eat, and no one will do such stupid things.

Zhao Lie saw that the military city had been built to a height of six feet, reaching one-third of the expected height, and believed that two months later, when the army of Meng Yuan came to the city, he would definitely be shocked by the huge building that had been uprooted from the ground in front of him.

Everyone was pointing while watching, and when they were happy, a craftsman hurriedly ran over: "Report to Dutong, Young Eunuch Guo asks Dutong to go to the 'iron house'." ”

Zhao Lie was stunned, and then overjoyed. "Iron House" is the code name of the military industrial base, and the production of weapons and armor is not in this secret base. Once there is news in the iron house, and it is not Guo Chenggui, the young eunuch, who visits him, but invites him to go, it will definitely be a breakthrough in weapon research and development, and he has to do it for the sake of secrecy.

So, what will be the breakthrough this time? Revolver mass production? Successful imitation of a three-shot shotgun? Or is it a May Fourth pistol?
