Chapter 581: Test firing
The matter of the chariot was thought of by Yan Ming temporarily. At this point, it's too late to start researching.
But the sniper rifle in front of you can be studied in a short period of time.
Yan Ming wants deterrence.
Absolute overwhelming superiority, deterring the army of the Han Dynasty.
As long as the other party is not a fool, Yan Ming believes that he can rely on his superiority in war weapons to directly suppress the war in a state where there is no beginning.
"Do a good job, after these things are equipped, take them out and debug them immediately." Yan Ming said.
Even if a sniper rifle is easy to use, it needs a person who can handle it accurately.
If no one can accurately control a sniper rifle to kill an enemy, it will be no different from a normal firearm.
New Taipei City is in intense preparations.
After a month of preparation, the weather is getting cooler.
The 5,000 elite soldiers in New Taipei City have mastered the use of assault rifles.
During this period, Yan Ming had people create bayonets equipped with assault rifles.
Although Yan Ming knew that once the soldiers used the bayonets to solve the problem, it meant that the prelude to the defeat of New Taipei City had begun.
But preparation still has to be done.
The bayonets built by Da Lao Chen are all three-edged military thorns designed by Yan Ming.
This kind of military thorn is triangular in shape, and once it pierces a person's body, it will form a bloody hole.
Even if you want to close the wound with needles and threads, you can't.
Those who are pierced in the vital position can only bleed to death.
The train track around the city of New Taipei City has also been completed.
Those small mortars were installed on the train by Yan Ming.
The ammunition was all in the compartment.
Once the Han army besieged New Taipei City, Yan Ming would get the train running.
At that time, the train will be a moving artillery position.
Yan Ming believes that Liu Che will not underestimate himself.
The soldiers he sent will definitely drain the water in the siege of New Taipei City.
If a famous general like Wei Qing brings troops here, then his pressure will be even greater.
Fortunately, he had already spied on the information through Liu Ling's side.
The people who led the troops this time were Xun Yu and Zhao Xin.
Xun Yu is average, and Zhao Xin is a little slight.
Yan Ming didn't underestimate the idea of the two of them. He led the generals in New Taipei City and carefully analyzed the past achievements of Zhao Xin and Xun Yan.
In fact, the generals in New Taipei City are nothing more than Han Yan, Yan Yunzhong and Dou Xingtuo.
Now Yan Ming handed over the command of the army to Han Yan.
After all, Han Yan is a general. If history is not early in death, it may not be impossible to gallop on the battlefield.
Several people analyzed the 100,000 troops and two generals of the Great Han. After comparing their flintlock pistols and crossbows, which were not fully armed, with their assault rifles and mortars, they came to a conclusion: this station, if you don't leave the city, you will win.
After the development of a strategic plan. A few people studied the problem of defending the city.
Now, let's look at some of the arrangements outside the city. Yan Ming couldn't help but smile a little dumbly.
Previously, he asked Hu Deyong to build three lines of defense.
Then there was the train track, then there was a wall, then there was a deep ditch.
Now it appears that the train track is in the back, serving as a moving artillery position.
And the renovation of the fence can be used as a second line of defense.
As for the deep pit, it can be used as a trench and become the first line of defense.
As for the city, it was another line of defense.
Yan Ming himself was responsible for guarding in one direction, and let Han Yan, Dou Xingtuo, and Yan Yunzhong each be responsible for guarding in one direction.
Each person leads a thousand.
As for the remaining 1,000 people, it was the reserve led by Yan Poyu.
They are in the city, ready to maneuver in all directions.
Next, Yan Ming divided the responsibilities of the soldiers in the trench and the first wall in detail.
Three hundred soldiers in the trenches, killing the attacking enemy army.
The three hundred soldiers on the outer wall were responsible for blocking the Han soldiers who rushed to the front.
The soldiers on the city wall were responsible for blocking the Han army that broke through to the outside of the trenches.
Yan Ming believed that under the fire network of the assault rifle, there should be very few Han troops who could break through beyond the trenches.
As for the trains, they are transferred at any time.
Where there are many people, where there are many bombardments!
On the city walls, four large-caliber artillery pieces were built.
Lao Chen did a good job, and what made Yan Ming worry was that these four guns actually had wheels. And it is a rubber wheel with a design that is modeled after a van wheel.
Such artillery is almost comparable to self-propelled guns.
Some artillery shells were also made, and although it could not be said that they could cover the bombardment, they were enough to destroy a large area of the army.
Originally, Yan Ming wanted to arrange an artillery gun in each of the four directions.
But now they all have wheels. You can use war horses and manpower to flexibly mobilize these artillery.
Considering that in actual combat, the roar of artillery will frighten the war horses. Yan Ming not only let the war horses practice transporting artillery at the head of the city.
Forty Hercules were also deliberately selected, and every ten men were responsible for the movement of one artillery.
It is necessary to ensure that when there are many enemies in that direction, the artillery support can reach which direction on time.
Except, of course, assault rifles. None of these improvised weapons have yet to be test-fired.
Both artillery and mortars have a long range and are highly lethal. It is no longer possible to test fire at the factory.
Yan Ming risked defeat and loaded all these things on the city wall and in the train job.
Only then did the army train people who reacted quickly and knew how to calculate distances to be the first artillerymen.
The first batch of artillery in New Taipei City was trained with great intensity.
Almost day and night, they were familiar with the cannons.
When all the theories have been mastered and the corresponding response can be made according to the terminology of artillery, it is time to start the test firing of live ammunition.
On this morning, Yan Ming, who was in charge of training artillery, knew that it was time for a test firing.
"Shells are limited, one cannon test firing, the target is ......"
As Yan Ming gave the order on the train, the small steel cannon was ready first, and the artillery released the shell in his hand as the artilleryman released.
The cannonball slid down and hit the firing pin below.
There was a thud of ping-pong bangs.
In the sky, the cannonballs made a sound of breaking through the air and landed in the distance.
A huge fireball burst out of thin air in the distance, and in an instant it seemed like a small sun was rising.
"Boom ......"
The sound of the explosion was heard for a while. Low and powerful.
Because several mortars were fired at the same time, a string of large craters were blown up on the ground.
The mortar test was successfully fired. Next came the large-caliber artillery at the head of the city.
Artillery, in the years of thermal weapons warfare, was also a deadly existence.
Before the advent of rockets and missiles, artillery had always been the overlord of the army.
It is the Iron King VIII armored car on the battlefield, and it is dead or alive when it encounters artillery.
New Beicheng, which is now equipped with artillery, can completely become a meat grinder on the battlefield.
Looking at the black hole in the cannon at the head of the city, Yan Ming prayed in his heart, hoping that he would never need these huge cannons.
