Chapter 279: Death Penalty and Punishment (Text)
survived again, Gu Laosi twisted his neck with some difficulty, looking at the wound on his shoulder that was simply bandaged, although it was just a simple wrap of cloth, but it was bandaged very well, which also made him feel a lot more relieved, at least he didn't have to die immediately.
Because at least no one would deliberately do such superfluous things as bandaging and healing those who are about to die.
After returning from the edge of life and death again, he cherished the time he was still alive
Thinking back to the previous events, it was still a little thrilling, he was almost close to the scream, the warmth that had flowed on his face, the suffocation that had poured into his mouth and nose, and he had coughed and choked from the coma and struggled to wake up,
I saw that everything was the same, and only groups of gray-green southern soldiers were left, cleaning the battlefield, among which there were gunners wearing soft felt hats and vests; There are armor soldiers with spears and draped drapes, and sword players wearing round-brimmed helmets with locks over their shoulders and knees, and they are mending the corpses on the ground or suspicious objects that are about to turn into corpses.
Then he realized that he was so crushed that he couldn't move. The one who pressed on him and pretended to be dead had just been stabbed with a spear, his body twitched and slowly stiffened, and the warm blood flowed all over Gu Laosi's body, making him instinctively struggle desperately.
"Hey, there's a gas ...... down here."
A voice beside him put away the tip of the spear that was about to be stabbed again in some surprise, and shouted to his companions nearby
The body on his body was dragged away, and he panted heavily and half knelt on his knees, looking at these southern soldiers who surrounded him a little weakly and sluggishly.
"Can you still move......
A leading soldier opened his mouth at him, revealing his miserable teeth
"If you can move, give me a ......"
"I'm going to give you a good ......"
He demonstratively raised the straight blade in his hand and placed it on Gu Laosi's neck.
Although it is a little unclear, but under the great sense of crisis and shivering,
Gu Laosi still endured the great pain of the injury, and with all his strength to feed, he finally let himself jump off the ground, pulling and tearing the freshly solidified wound, which suddenly made him even drip tears in pain.
But this effort finally saved his life, and then he was tied with a rope and driven into the sequence of captives,
And during this period, he saw several guys with his own eyes, who seemed to be stunned or drowsy and had not yet recovered, because of the reaction of jumping up half a beat late, and were stabbed through the stomach or chest by those soldiers without hesitation, like shrimp, and were cut off and taken away, leaving only a headless corpse.
Suddenly he was called out, and then he was held down and tied up with a rope, and then a young man in a bloodstained leather bib full of scissors and various sharp blades came over, somewhat tired.
"Another great material......"
He was careless, and his eyes lit up when he saw Gu Laosi
"It looks like he's strong enough to hold on to ...... for a long time."
"What ...... You Will Do"
In this situation, Gu Laosi couldn't help but scream.
"I don't know anything......"
At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, I was facing the messy camp and all kinds of aftermath matters, and I had a slight headache.
The night attack camp is really a great test for a firearms unit like me, especially in the dark environment where the naked eye has limited vision and low visibility, and it is necessary to command and reassure my subordinates and endure the unpredictable panic and fear of the enemy.
In the case that he can't see the actual results of his own battle with his own eyes, he can still rely on the limited perception of the surrounding area, and the group lì amount to encourage and support each other, so as not to make mistakes in the busyness of the six gods and masters, or fire indiscriminately in a panic, and shoot the projectile to a place that God knows, it can be called a sophisticated elite.
Not to mention that after being covered up by the night and suppressing the effect, after firing a few rounds, the enemy who still has more than enough courage to rush into the side and fight and fight, and relying on the deployment level of the camp, covering each other to maintain an orderly and elastic retreat, instead of being completely scattered by others, it is also a rather cruel test for me and my subordinate generals and non-commissioned officers.
Although the final result is that I can still stand here in embarrassment, instead of following a group of people who are chased to the north. After this battle, I was not very satisfied, because as a new army, it can be said that there are good and bad.
As a good example, the first battalion of the Wind Banner is worthy of the old foundation I brought out, even if the enemy is rushed in front of the gun, he can calmly rush forward with the bayonet, and before he has time to turn the bayonet, he will turn it upside down and smash it with the buttle, forcing the enemy to retreat or kill, for the spearmen and white soldiers who do not rush over, creating a respite for the replacement.
The tactics of alternating bayonets and killing, which were transformed from marksmanship, have become more and more skillful and tacit through actual combat training, and it is said that seventeen kinds of movements have been formed.
As for the negative typology on the other end, it is the source of the noise outside.
General Yu Marquis Zhao Long was supervising a large-scale public collective enforcement of military law, and the popping sound of heavy military staff hitting the flesh and the weak moans of the corresponding personnel came and went, because in the middle of last night's battle,
The third battalion, which was responsible for covering the two wings, actually collapsed, yes, it was the third battalion that I once had high hopes for, and in the sixth or seventh roundabout attack, there was a small confusion of command because the platoon and the officers died together, and after being rushed into the ranks of the gunners by the enemy, they broke up like this,
Except for Cui Bangbi who desperately held on to himself, and the first regiment with a majority of veterans was acceptable, they formed several layers of formations inside and outside, holding on to their original positions, and the other three full regiments with little damage released ducks one after another at the first time, turned around and fled.
Therefore, he almost led a group of enemy troops who were pouring in, broke into the rear of the second battalion that was fighting, and was wrapped in dumplings, and together with Zhang Lizheng, the commander of the second battalion who was commanding the fierce battle, the guards around him almost died, and he himself was wounded in the ribs, and had to fight with wounds until dawn.
And the fourth battalion, which was originally focused on prevention and restricted use, had to pull out most of it to rescue the emergency, so that it could stop the collapse trend.
As a result, in the actual appearance, it is the newly incorporated ranks of the fourth battalion, which are more resilient in the face of hand-to-hand combat, and can hold out longer, especially those former Runzhou troops, who seem to want to become some kind of backbone by showing something.
Under the leadership of Yang Zaixing, they almost fought fiercely, killing from one end to the other, trying to maintain the infiltrated and staggered front, until the two pro-armies that I urgently turned around and entered the battle, only then did they regain their position and push the opposing enemy out slowly but resolutely.
Therefore, after this battle, the purge of the 3rd Battalion was inevitable.
Although the 3rd Battalion had been all veterans selected by the various armies before, and belonged to the bottom of the objects that lacked attention in peacetime, and there was still a lack of time to establish a complete and full sense of trust and subordination to this collective, no matter what the reason, the consequences of desertion and disadvantage of friendly forces were to be severely punished according to the rules.
Those who took the lead in escaping were identified, and the rest were drawn to kill ten and hung their heads in public, and the rest were given twenty canes in public, and after they were raised, they were all charged to the auxiliary team to watch the school ransom.
The remaining shortfall was drawn from other battalions and supplemented by more than twice the actual overstaff, and the fourth battalion, which was originally used as an auxiliary sequence.
For example, those Runzhou soldiers who are still good are organized into the third battalion and the fourth regiment, which are specially responsible for the close combat of the white soldiers, and are given the private title of "Zhongliu Regiment" and the corresponding banner, a broken dagger, which is also the fifth exclusive regiment number in addition to pro-straight, pacesetter, teaching, and catching, and can get a material subsidy of 600 yuan more from me than others every month.
Of course, this kind of execution in the army, no more than those yamen's private methods, is a real skill, and strives to achieve the most painful punishment effect, without strictly hurting the muscles and bones, leaving any incurable injuries or dark diseases.
But to my surprise, Cui Bangbi, the commander of the third battalion, also asked to be punished together on the grounds that he was responsible for his joint duties and his blame, and under the discussion of Zhao Long and I, he was also beaten in public with a halved ten military staff as a wake-up call
However, this incident also made my impression of him somewhat changeable, at least this one still has some pursuits, not exactly the bastards in the army.
Then again, on this night,
The enemy in the east was repulsed again and again and regrouped, and forcibly attacked seventeen times, turning the wooden fence of the camp wall into a tattered sieve, while the breakthrough troops from the inside to the outside of the west, after being frustrated again and again, joined up with the men and horses coming from the rear and charged as many as eleven times.
It wasn't until the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, who were responsible for blocking them, who were covered in blood, weak in their hands and feet, and hot in their guns, that they suddenly became the end of the crossbow, and in the process of sprinting numb like the walking dead, they fell to the ground from exhaustion and became our prisoners
During this period,
The enemy troops who came to the aid of the camp once broke the defense line made of human flesh under the camp, and it was only in the northwest corner of the camp that the camp was destroyed that the teaching team that played the role of the firefighting team rushed over, and used a thrown fire oil bomb to break up and defeat it again, and reconstructed the rudimentary defense line with the large board carts that were pushed over.
Last night, it was actually a few earth-made mines buried on the periphery, which was also one of the actual firearms I brought this time.
After the attack and defense of the Meishan Hotel, I put this kind of triggered or artificially activated gunpowder explosives on the research and development agenda.
The predecessor of these earthen mines came from a batch of explosive bombs that were specially thrown by hand at close range, mainly dismantling the throwing firearms of the Divine Machine Army, and reversely researching and imitating things.
It's just that the traditional black powder, as a propellant, is more effective, but as an explosive, it is inevitably a little unsatisfactory, in the compromise between the distance that a single person can throw and the weight of the charge, it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory killing effect and range.
After all, I didn't develop this thing to blow up my queue nearby, at least to be able to throw a certain distance, but in this charge, that is, to listen to a sound,
After the pig used by the real yàn was overturned, it was just a matter of blowing up some skin, and it was still possible to carry a bloody body and continue to break free from the broken rope.
Compared with the border areas built in half at one time due to the limited conditions at that time, it was even inferior, and I understand why the Southern Dynasties have not been able to develop a large number of hand-thrown explosives such as fire and thunder bombs after so many years.
The reason why the Southern Dynasties did not attach importance to throwing explosives by individual soldiers was very simple: the smaller the ignition device, the more difficult it was to precision machining, and the pass rate was not high, and the heavy throwing was not far, and the probability of accidental injury was too great; on the other hand, it was the humid and rainy weather outside the ridge, which caused the explosives to be easily damp, and the reliability was greatly reduced.
In contrast, it is still another firearm handed down from ancient times, throwing incendiary bombs, which is much safer, and can even be filled on the spot, and then directly started by hand with an open flame, and then thrown again. Therefore, the so-called grenadiers mainly threw incendiary objects, and a small number of fire and thunder shells were used to deter the enemy and their mounts
As for the more powerful ammonium nitrate, picric acid, nitroglycerin, etc., I would like it too, but unfortunately these require a minimum of chemical industry foundation, as a fierce explosive ingredient supported by the technology tree, and are still in the stage of trying to find the correct formula in the real room.
At present, I only get a limited amount of nitrocellulose through the limited acid value exchange reflection, and it is still the kind of chronic reaction.
So in order to catch up with the progress of the expedition.
I instructed them. Yu Crisp gave up the requirement of individual throwing, further expanded the charge of refined particles, and at the same time added anti-personnel fragments, and finally turned into some kind of fixed-point buried and pressurized explosives.
That is, something similar to a landmine, of course, with another use in mind, it can be used to ignite the delay fuse directly by hand, and use it as a weapon to be condescendingly dropped by the fortification.
It's a pity that the number is not too much, and it can only be buried outside the camp, as some kind of warning weapon, if you don't intend to touch it, the specific lethality is secondary, and the loud sound alone is enough to alarm people who are sleeping like death.
It's just that the reliability of the production capacity of these things remains to be tested.
Because the pressure fuse is easily affected by the environment and sometimes does not work, so it is only buried in a real way, but this time it can be exploded, and it has become a certain key opportunity to warn in time when the peripheral sentinels and guards have been touched by people.
In fact, Kong Jiji's rearmament team brought a batch of various conceptual firearms this time, which were specially used for battlefield tests.
As the so-called well-arranged personnel vigilance, sometimes it is not as effective as these simple and crude dead objects. I can't help but sigh a little.
