2480 Jinshan riots
"We need more fire support from you, and this fire support requires that you be able to provide us with more light and portable artillery, such as mortars, and infantry direct artillery." Hawke said to Li Sheng in detail.
"Infantry direct-fire artillery, lightweight, somewhat difficult, not in the current Qin army's arsenal, and, if you need it, the price will increase a lot, I think, you are unlikely to be equipped with such weapons." Li Sheng said while recording.
"Hmm. That's true, but we also need to equip some. Hawke nodded, that is, there are too many direct-fire guns, and no shells are useless, Hawke knows this very well, but Hawke believes that they should be equipped with a battalion or so of such firepower, which can form an effective fire suppression.
"However, I have a suggestion, you can equip more hand cannons, such weapons, easy to make, cheap, and moderately powerful, very suitable for you to fight in the mountains, the power is very enough to deal with those jungle tribes, and the operation is also very simple, you can be equipped in the infantry squad." Li Sheng suggested.
"This, naturally, we need to order a lot of ammunition for such weapons and ammunition." Hawke nodded, it was a good suggestion.
"In addition, we need more grenades, as well as submachine guns, and most importantly, submachine guns, which are portable machine guns, which can be very useful in the jungle for a short time." Hawke said.
"Weapons, to put it mildly, are just bullets that are a bit of a nuisance. Although you have a lot of bullets, the number of processed bullets is huge, mainly from gunpowder in this area, and there are some problems. Li Sheng said.
"It's easy to say in terms of price, but as long as you can provide enough ammunition, it's fine." Hawke said. According to the report from the Goguryeo side, the hand-held machine gun, that is, the submachine gun, can play a great role in mountain forest combat, because the battle often takes place in a short distance, and the southern tribesmen take advantage of the more mountainous areas in the south, and they lie in ambush in various places, which makes the Goguryeo police force very disadvantaged, but with the submachine gun, they can suppress the other party in a relatively short time, so as to buy themselves more sufficient reaction time, which is very beneficial to them. For this, Hawke believes that it is very important, and the submachine gun uses pistol bullets, pistol bullets are much cheaper than machine gun bullets, can be equipped on a large scale, the price is acceptable, not only that, but also use the submachine gun in his hand to play a firepower advantage, such an advantage why not. They are willing to accept such weapons and equipment.
"Hmm. Okay, pistol cartridges. We'll fix that. Li Sheng recorded.
Just when Goguryeo was doubling its forces. What Jin Shan feared had happened.
"Sir, we really don't have a lot of food. We all have enough to eat. In order for our food to last for a while, we have taken measures, we can only eat two meals a day, one dry, one gruel, and the soldiers are already complaining. The logistics officer shook his head and grumbled.
"I know this, but the supply lines are being restored, and the troops escorting the gold will return immediately, they have reached their destination. Here's today's telegram, they've already told me something like this. Li Jin said waving the telegram in his hand. But what was on the telegram was not, the logistics officer was very skeptical. But he couldn't really look at it either.
Because the roads are not very smooth, there is a shortage of food in the whole Jinshan, which has been there for some time, and should have been solved early, but natural factors have restricted their travel. The result is what is happening today.
The good news is that their escort team has arrived at their destination, and when they come back, they can bring a lot of food to replenish it, and the bad news is that they still need to hold on for a few days, and all the problems can be solved in just a few days. Li Jin was able to solve some of these problems despite his nervousness. For example, the proportion of grain is compressed, and so on.
Outside the excavation camp, a large number of southern tribesmen lined up for a meal, and they had not had a good meal for several days. And they always can't eat for no reason, and many people are very dissatisfied with this, but Goguryeo told them that the problem will be solved, and at the same time, there are many people who want to go home, because Goguryeo promised that they will go home, as long as they work for two years, they can go home.
In fact, these are all deceptive tricks, the Goguryeo people will only give them more work, but in order to be able to go home, many people are still willing to do it, but in order to be able to live, they must first eat, and eating is a big problem, and for them, this is the most difficult place.
"Eat, we're going to eat." The Central Plains dialect is the standard language here, and if you learn the Central Plains dialect, you can be a manager, so some southern tribesmen gradually learned the Central Plains dialect, although they have little contact with the Central Plains, but they still speak such simple words, such as eating.
"Eat, eat." Many people waved broken clay bowls in their hands, or something else.
"Eat. Dine. More and more people shouted.
"Don't mess around, everyone queue up." A lieutenant officer shouted loudly, then waved his whip and began to lash out at those in the group who were shouting.
"Give it all to us, don't let them shout." The lieutenant officer immediately waved his arm and instructed his men to stop such an action. Even though the whipping hurt, there were many people shouting loudly, because they all had one purpose, to eat. In fact, there was no food prepared for them today, and even if there was, it was very thin porridge, which simply could not satisfy the consumption of these southern tribesmen who had been doing physical work for a long time.
"Bang." At this moment, a Goguryeo policeman shot and killed a young man from the southern tribe who was shouting loudly, although the young man did not know what he meant, but he knew that he could eat as long as he shouted.
The gunshots silenced everyone at once. But it was also a very brief silence, and this silence made them feel very terrible.
"Whoa." Then there was a sound of smashing bowls, because of eating and starving, a large number of young adults from the southern tribes finally rioted.
