Chapter 54: Reorganization and Expansion

In the total war system, artillery is a high-level service, and in the war of this era, artillery is enough to be called the god of war!

In the previous Bastille attack and defense battle, if the revolutionary army could mobilize enough artillery to bombard the Bastille, it was up to the two of them to say whether Lin Haoda could hold it!

Moreover, artillery for the European continental powers at this time at the beginning of industrialization, is definitely a high-cost weapon of war, the number of artillery in a regular army corps is at most dozens, can concentrate hundreds of artillery in a battle, that is absolutely a formidable force, the production capacity of this era and those before the First World War experienced the second industrial revolution of the European assembly line factory has an essential difference!

The kind of scene of artillery everywhere during the First World War was simply impossible in this era, and even backward smoothbore guns could not do it!

The garrisons of the world's colonies controlled by European countries are mostly used by obsolete old artillery......

Lin Haoda excitedly walked out of the temporary command room and went to the playground inside the Bastille, the embodiment of the characters and the class cards is not visible, Lin Haoda doesn't want to use it when he needs to, because the battlefield has a wide field of vision and can be perceived by outsiders, and he can't visualize the class card, in order to be safe, Lin Haoda decided to immediately convert this artillery class card into real strength!

Anyway, he didn't miss the extra bit of artillery food......

After coming to the open space, Lin Haoda immediately summoned this team of six-pounder infantry field guns!

In a familiar burst of golden light, 24 artillerymen standing straight around 4 brand-new and small front-loading smoothbore guns appeared in front of Lin Haoda's eyes, and immediately, information about the six-pounder infantry field gun also appeared in Lin Haoda's mind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

[Class: Six-pounder infantry field gun.]

Effective range: 600 yards

Artillery: 24 people, 4 6-pounder infantry field guns

Applicable ammunition: solid shells, grapeshot.

Introduction: The six-pounder infantry field gun is very lightweight, and can be quickly moved to the battlefield in war, firing at the enemy's army or fortress, and the barrel of the six-pounder gun is about 1.65 meters long, which is 1 meter longer than the three-pounder gun. Regardless of the amount of gunpowder, the explosive force is only the distance that pushes the shell out of the barrel, and the longer the barrel, the faster the speed of the shell, and the greater the range and accuracy.

Artillery equipment: six-pounder infantry field guns, cannon igniters, ejector rods, sabers, binoculars, breech brushes.

Artillery attire: red feather hat, blue and white uniform, buckled black boots.

Advantage: Easy to move.

Notes: Easy to move, low to recruit and maintain, and a very useful piece of artillery. And the effective range of 600 yards is enough for it to effectively carry out the bombardment of enemy infantry arrays, this is only a relatively light infantry support weapon, it is better not to use it for bombardment of enemy artillery positions, smoothbore gun hit rate, you know......

The effective range does not represent the maximum range, if you let the shell of the 6-pounder infantry field gun fly at the maximum elevation angle, it is not impossible to fly out of thousands of meters, the effective range here refers to the range distance that this type of artillery can cause effective killing, beyond this effective range, the hit rate of the front-loading smoothbore gun, which is already very pitiful, will definitely make you 'moved' the record, so don't do this kind of waste of ammunition......]

Lin Haoda frowned slightly after seeing that the price was not displayed in the information, he wanted to compare it with the line infantry......

"It seems that only classes unlocked in the Class Mall will have their prices displayed."

Lin Haoda glanced at the light infantry of the first team of the 200 historical smashing points, and thought in his heart.

These 24 artillerymen are all professional artillerymen, all of whom have been trained in the artillery academy, which is equivalent to the non-commissioned officer level soldiers in the army of later generations, and they are self-contained, led by a captain officer!

From this it can be seen that the artillery unit is far more important than the infantry unit, and it is also a standard company, the commander of the artillery is a captain, and the commander of the infantry can only be a lieutenant, and there are far more people in control than the chief officer of the artillery......

Of course, the elite troops in the infantry should be counted separately!

6 people serve an artillery, which is also considered the standard configuration of the artillery unit, but this is only a wartime match, if you want to transport artillery over a long distance, these six people alone can't do it, even if you add the two mules and horses given by each artillery all-out war system!

The two mules and horses were only responsible for pulling the artillery, and the shells and other sundries had to be pulled by additional manpower or animal power.

This group of artillery shells and materials only hundreds, the number of grape shells is about the same as the number of solid bullets, can only maintain a medium-sized campaign, the ammunition of artillery is different from the ammunition of musketeers, black powder and lead bullet are not difficult to find even in the people, as long as there is a metal such as lead, the soldiers themselves can make lead bullets alone, however, the production of shells requires a special workshop!

If Lin Haoda wants to keep his artillery team fighting for a long time, the logistics problem is already in front of him!

After Lin Haoda had a general understanding of the situation of this artillery team, he began to think about the happiness of using 5,000 historical smashing points.

He now has less than 800 men left, and the panicked and defeated revolutionary army may not have figured out his details, but as long as the other party attacks again after regrouping, Lin Haoda will basically be exposed......

The revolutionary army, which has suffered a big loss, will definitely not make the previous mistakes if it dares to continue the attack, so Lin Haoda urgently needs to expand his strength, and the more troops the better!

5,000 historical smashing points are enough for Lin Haoda to transform from a small person cowering in the Bastille to a power leader participating in this revolutionary feast!

[Class: Light Infantry.]

Size: 120 players per team/200 historical smash points

Effective range: 100 yards

Description: Classes that focus more on shooting accuracy and almost ignore hand-to-hand combat during training. Using a smoothbore gun with exquisite workmanship, the total equipment is light in weight, fast in movement, flexible in combat, and has sufficient discipline to form a line for combat, and can also be arranged in a scattered formation for guerrilla and side attacks. Be at the head of the line when marching and cover when retreating. Because the light infantry is mostly composed of veterans, the team spirit and morale are higher than those of the line infantry.

Equipment: Fusilier musket with bayonet

Costume: Tall black hat, dark blue clothes, buckled black boots.

Advantages: Skirmish battle line, good at shooting.

Description: marksmanship is higher than the line of soldiers lower than the chasseurs, recruitment and maintenance is higher than the line infantry, they can effectively kill the opponent's living force before the two military formations meet the enemy, is a basic cheap skirmisher force, an indispensable branch of the army of a modern power, but the light infantry arranged into a skirmish line is extremely vulnerable in the face of the enemy's cavalry troops, and can also form a tight line when necessary, when forming a skirmish line, the hand-to-hand combat ability is very weak. 】
