Chapter 508: The Forbidden Army's Attack Methods
"Why are you lying down?"
Wang Xuance was originally puzzled by the tactics of the forbidden army, but now he ......
The shock was not light on the movement they made, but when they were advancing, they suddenly lay down, and did not see any instructions from the officers.
This made Wang Xuance very depressed, and at the same time felt very angry.
He is not a regular soldier, but he is also well aware that this behavior of the current forbidden army is, in the eyes of most people, a disgrace to the military.
Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been an army that has made such an amazing move on the battlefield and on the training ground.
Wang Xuance looked at Liu Li with some anger, as if telling Liu Li that if you can't say one, two, three, or four today, even if you are a forbidden army, Lao Tzu will desperately drive you away, such an uncle's army, the expeditionary force will not dare to accept it, the Buddha is too big, and the small temple can't fit it.
However, Liu Li didn't care about Wang Xuance's almost reprimanded questioning.
These actions had already been reacted to by the Forbidden Army at the very beginning, and they also preferred to die standing rather than lying on the ground and hiding.
But the reaction had no effect, but he was reprimanded by His Majesty, and then he honestly followed the content required by the training regulations.
came and went, and they got used to it, and let them discover a fact that it was more accurate to lie on the ground and fight.
"General, this is a normal tactical action, the current simulated battlefield situation is that the enemy is hiding behind the bunker, and the muskets equipped by our department cannot effectively attack the enemy troops, before solving the local troops behind the bunker, our unit will look for cover in situ according to the operational requirements to ensure that more soldiers can be saved before launching another attack."
"And now? Just lying on your stomach? Dry? Wang Xuance couldn't say anything, this style is indeed very in line with Li Yuanji's temperament, and he knows that this set of tactics was formulated by Li Yuanji without asking too much.
There were some things he couldn't say and didn't dare to say, but he had to think about them in his heart.
Wang Xuance and the officers behind him didn't even dare to imagine what a blow it would be to the Tang Army once Li Yuanji ordered the full promotion of this tactic of the forbidden army.
"Of course not!" Liu Li shook his head, no need for him to say more, the forbidden army lying on the ground had already reacted.
A dozen bunkers, correspondingly in the best places, there were more than a dozen soldiers who went from lying on their stomachs to squatting, and in addition to that, everyone also noticed the guy in their hands.
It was completely different from the musket, a very thick iron rod, with a hollow middle, although these people had also been mixed in the team before, but they did not have a musket in their hands, and the previous military formation also attracted the attention of most people, so before that, no one noticed these different soldiers mixed in the military formation.
Before and after the dozen or so people turned into a squatting position, the soldiers lying on the ground were still shooting unhurriedly, and some paused, but quickly resumed shooting.
And Wang Xuance also seemed to have found a pattern, every time the gunfire came five times, they had to pause, or rather, the soldiers had to take something out of the thing on their bodies that had been previously regarded as a ration bag, and then stuffed it into the gun, and then they could continue to shoot five times.
The pause was not long, and not all of them stopped, and after concentrating on observation, it was found that two of the three people were always shooting, and the other was either waiting or changing ammunition.
'Whoosh ......'
More than a dozen dull noises came one after another, and more than a dozen thick clouds of smoke appeared on the battlefield, and even shells that were flying towards the bunkers could be seen with the naked eye.
'......Boom'
More than a dozen explosions came one after another, and the power of the explosions made the observation group hundreds of meters away clearly feel the vibration from the ground.
"Rocket artillery ......" Wang Xuance was stunned and exclaimed gloomily.
There is a reason for exclaiming, he has seen rocket artillery, the Battle of Tuyuhun, and the Battle of Tubo, whether it is to observe the launch at close range, or to observe the explosion of the bullet point, Wang Xuance has seen it himself.
But he never imagined that the guys who were covered behind him before would be rocket launchers.
And at this moment, Wang Xuance also understood how the forbidden army solved this problem.
At such a close distance, the bomb truck cannot be used, because for fear of accidental injury, even if it is used, it will be blown up in a more rear position, and the only way to use the bomb truck or rocket artillery to kill these bunkers is to retreat the army, make space, and then let the bomb truck or rocket artillery out of the formation.
But he never imagined that they would bring up the rocket launchers.
"General, this is a miniature version of the rocket artillery, but His Majesty calls it a soldier rocket, as the name suggests, this is equipment that is equipped in the hands of individuals. In the forbidden army, each team is equipped with two bazookas, a total of six operators, that is, five gangs, two gangs will vacate three people to use this weapon, and his biggest role has just been shown, when encountering bunkers or when the enemy is dense, he can directly attack with rockets, which can effectively kill and injure enemy troops in a wide area, and even the enemy behind the bunker.
And the only disadvantage is that his range is somewhat insufficient, the range that can be controlled is only about 200 meters, and the maximum range is 300 meters, but where will it hit if it exceeds 200 meters? This one can only be left to fate.
The lying position defense can help the soldier to stabilize the gun body more effectively, and at the same time, it can maximize the protection from being attacked by the bow and arrow. To put it bluntly, it is more accurate to lie on the ground and hit.
However, this is only in the face of the opponent's infantry can play the greatest effect, if the opponent sends a cavalry charge, then the battle formation should be taken at this time, the battle formation should be doubled the distance, and then take a crouching position to shoot.
The controllable shooting distance of the musket is also 200 meters, and the effective killing distance is 300 meters. The equipment was almost displayed, and Liu Li began a more detailed introduction.
Individual bazookas, for the Tang Army, which has already developed rocket artillery and put it into use, is actually not very difficult.
As Liu Li said, this is a miniature version of rocket artillery.
The main reason for the inconvenience of using it before was because of the problem of the propellant, and with the solution of the propellant, in fact, many of the problems faced by the Tang Army have been effectively solved.
Bullets, rockets, rocket artillery, and even bomb delivery vehicles have now ceased production, and the Academy of Sciences is also publicizing artillery shell technology, and it is conceivable that the entire military equipment, with the solution of propellants, is rapidly developing towards a new era.
And the forbidden army is just a testing ground.
Of course, individual fire support, the best equipment is actually a mortar, and even if you almost can get a grenadier or something, but the problem is that the shells have not been solved yet, so you can only get a bazooka to deal with it, and the power of the bazooka is not bad, and for now, it is enough.
And sending such a forbidden army to come, in fact, has many purposes, one is to put some pressure on Wang Xuance and let him not come nonsense, the second is to send this forbidden army up when encountering a crisis problem, and use the equipment advantage to quickly open the gap, and the third is to test the actual combat effect.
"What if the enemy comes closer?" Wang Xuance continued to ask, and at this moment he had already put away his frivolous eyes.
After the exercise, he had already seen some of the usefulness of this forbidden army force, the large attack area, the wide range of attack, and the scale of 1,000 people could complete the previous effect that only 4,000 people in an army formation could achieve, and even more powerful than it.
and the bazooka, Wang Xuance no longer knows how to express it.
"The general will see it right away." Liu Li didn't explain too much, in fact, there was no need to waste more words.
The process of the drill was formulated by him, and although it was impossible to follow this process on the battlefield, the process he made was said to be for the drill or something else.
But there is one thing that cannot be denied, this set of exercises will let the observers know what they can do to deal with various situations.
According to the plan, after the rockets were fired, it was time to engage in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.
Although this plan may not be used very often, it is still possible after all, and it can be regarded as making up for the lack of melee ability.
The soldiers lying on the ground also knew about this plan for a long time, so after seeing a dozen bunkers being killed, they quickly drew their bayonets from their waists one by one and hung them on the muzzles of their guns.
As for the bullets in the chamber, they are used up as soon as possible, but this is only for the back row, and the front row is not needed, they can run out of bullets in the chamber before engagement.
Needless to say in the picture at the back, the soldiers in the front directly pulled the gun in their hands, although it was dialed against the air, but the people present were all soldiers, and a considerable number of them had been on the battlefield, they knew very well the meaning of this action, this time, you can stab the spear that stabbed you to get rid of, so that you can avoid this blow.
Others raised their hands directly to meet the slash with their guns, although the appearance was a little strange, but the real combat action was not wrong.
Then, the two people who followed behind stabbed the bayonets in their hands directly into the opposite plank.
This combat mode observation group is still acceptable, although the appearance is a little exaggerated, but the principle and combat method are the same as theirs.
The difference is that they sometimes have the Lancers taking on the task of resisting, and then the Lancemen take advantage of the gap in the opponent's next attack and stab them directly, or the Lancers harass and the Blademen slash and kill the enemy at close range.
The principle is the same, only there is one more person, but considering that they only have one bayonet, this configuration is reasonable.
But thinking of the power shown before, it really scared everyone.
