In fact, there is a better fire support weapon than mortars and grenadiers - bazookas. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, this weapon should not have appeared at this time.
What equipment the Chinese Imperial Army uses on the battlefield will definitely be known by other countries in the future, and these countries will use various methods to imitate it, and if the BUG weapon of the bazooka comes out now and is copied by other countries, then these countries will go to war with the Chinese Empire in the future, then the Chinese Empire will suffer, so it is better not to appear this kind of weapon.
The Zhonghua Type 1 rifle cavalry improved, light machine guns, submachine guns, and light mortars, which are the main equipment of the cavalry units of the Suzaku Legion.
It felt like something was missing, and by the way, a pistol.
The officers who used revolvers in the Imperial Chinese Army had a bit of a problem with revolvers, because revolvers were too slow to change bullets and needed to be reloaded one shot at a time.
And so a new pistol appeared, the Falcon semi-automatic pistol, or simply called the Falcon pistol.

According to Yan Xueyi's aesthetic concept, the falcon pistol is much more beautiful than the revolver, and when I see the revolver, I always feel a little awkward.
The Falcon pistol has more reloads than the revolver and changes bullets quickly, but the power is no worse than that of the revolver.
However, the Falcon pistol, like other weapons and equipment, must be equipped with the Suzaku Legion first, and the officers of the other legions may have to wait for a while.
In addition to these weapons, there is also a weapon, or a rifle accessory, that is also equipped with the Suzaku Legion, and the name of this accessory is: Gun Grenade Launcher.
A grenade is an infantry small explosive weapon that fills the gap between a grenade and a mortar, and an infantry armed with a grenade launcher fires an over-caliber grenade through a grenade launcher mounted on the muzzle of their rifle. The gun grenade is small in size and easy to operate, which can make the rifle achieve the integration of point and surface, lethality and armor breaking, improve the independent combat ability of the infantry, and is especially suitable for mountain, jungle combat and urban street fighting.
The grenade launcher consists of a launch tube and a torsion tube, the rear part of the launch tube is fixed to the barrel (the rear part of the gun sight) by two clamps and is tightened, the rear part of the cylindrical launch tube has a notch for the gun sight, and the rear opening of the launch tube has an internal thread for connection with the torsion tube, the caliber of the torsion tube is 3cm, there are 8 rifling wires inside, and it is tightly fixed to the launch tube.
In the army of the Chinese Empire, the grenade launcher was an accessory for the Zhonghua Type 1 rifle, which was mainly equipped to infantry units, and cavalry units did not need it.
The firing grenade is fired through a special empty cartridge, and the gunpowder gas produced after firing the empty cartridge pushes a wooden propellant projectile, which hits the bottom of the grenade and launches it, which can ensure the safety of the grenade when fired, and any other bullet will cause damage to the barrel and cause serious injury.
A grenade can also be used like a normal grenade with its bottom cap unscrewed, and its explosive power is similar to that of a mortar shell of 50 mm caliber.
In addition, there are many types of gun grenades, not only explosive grenades that kill infantry, but also flashbangs, flares, smoke grenades, signal flares, etc.
The role of the grenade launcher is quite large, so the Suzaku Regiment, which is about to fight with the Russian army, has begun to equip a large number of such rifle accessories.
All of the above-mentioned weapons and equipment and even rifle accessories were continuously produced in arsenals throughout the Chinese Empire, and then transported to the Suzaku Legion in the Mongolian steppe by airship to increase the combat power of the Suzaku Legion.
If you use an actual value to calculate, Yan Xueyi has prepared more than 100 million taels of silver for the war between the Chinese Empire and Russia.
Yes, the military expenses of this Sino-Russian war were paid by Yan Xueyi, not by the imperial government, and the imperial government focused on how to develop the empire, and there was no spare strength to support this war, so it could only be paid by Yan Xueyi.
Don't look at the only kinds of weapons and equipment added to the Suzaku Legion now, in fact, there are many other weapons and equipment developed in the Yuanhe Arsenal, the most important of which is artillery.
Artillery is an indispensable weapon in the army, not only the army needs to be equipped with a large number of artillery, but the navy also needs to be equipped with a large number of artillery.
After all, the transportation conditions on land limit the caliber of army artillery, and the 200 mm caliber artillery is probably a relatively large artillery, and no matter how large it is, it is difficult for the army to transport these real heavy artillery.
But the navy is different, the navy relies on warships to sail in the sea, and there is a platform for warships, as long as the platform can withstand it, it can be of any caliber.
The caliber of the artillery is directly proportional to the difficulty of manufacturing the artillery, the larger the caliber of the artillery, the more difficult it is to manufacture the artillery, and what really affects the manufacture of the artillery is the steel of the artillery.
However, with the technology provided by Yan Xueyi, the artillery technology of the Chinese Empire is growing rapidly.
150 mm cannon, 210 mm cannon, 210 mm heavy howitzer, 240 mm cannon, 280 mm cannon, 320 mm cannon, 350 mm cannon, artillery of various calibers was born in the Yuanhe City Arsenal.
Howitzers and cannons up to 210 mm can be used by the army.
Naval guns and shore defense guns belong to naval guns, and these large-caliber cannons are actually prepared for the warships of the navy, once the large-tonnage warships are built, the Chinese Empire does not have large-caliber naval guns, but has to buy them from other countries, which is really an irony.
Even if no steel giant ship has been built, this large-caliber cannon is also a huge deterrent to the navy of other countries, and if these cannons are placed on the coastline of the Chinese Empire, once the enemy's navy arrives, the shells of the large-caliber cannon will definitely give the enemy a deep impression.
……
Time passed day by day, and the two integrated divisions and ten cavalry divisions of the Suzaku Legion had been assembled on the Sino-Russian border, and they were about to launch an attack on Russia in the near future.
The Royal No. 1 airship flew towards the Mongolian steppe under the escort of three armed airships, and Yan Xueyi wanted to practice it for the soldiers of the empire.
