"Commander, we can consider switching to war! Although there are many Qing troops, our army wants to break through in a certain direction and run outside the encirclement, and the Qing army still has nothing to do with us. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Chief of Staff Yuan Yong provided an idea.

"Commander, I thought I could use the dangerous terrain and fortifications to grind slowly with the enemy! As long as it is grinding for half a month and a month, the supplies needed by the 100,000 army can crush the Qing army! "Chief of Staff Du Ning said an idea.

Objectively speaking, the ideas of Yuan Yong and Du Ning have a certain amount of truth. But their shortcomings lie in the fact that when the enemy's numbers form an absolute superiority, they, like the rest of the Mengshan army, do not have the confidence to repel or even annihilate the enemy!

Meng Shanjun's emotions were obviously not what Xu Lie needed. Xu Lie had to give them facts and reason to rekindle their confidence.

"When you first decided to follow me, you didn't expect that there would be such a situation where the army would be overwhelmed today?" Xu Lie first came to a rhetorical question.

Naturally, the crowd had nothing to say about it. People like Yuan Yong naturally don't think superficially along Xu Lie's questions, and Yuan Yong doesn't think that the Mengshan army will be defeated, he just thinks that the Mengshan army should avoid the enemy's edge. For example, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army in the early years, and Li Zicheng's army in the late Ming Dynasty, etc., with the equipment and military quality of the Mengshan Army, as long as it runs, the imperial court has no way at all.

But at this time, Yuan Yong would not say his thoughts, he knew that Xu Lie was a smart person, and his previous suggestions had already included these ideas.

"What is the effective range of our Maxim heavy machine gun?" Xu Lie began to guide everyone.

"800 meters! If the enemy is a cluster target, the effective range is up to 1200 meters! "This word count, all officers know.

"As I said, five years ago, 50 Rhodesian soldiers, using four Maxim heavy machine guns, killed 3,000 Zulu in half a day. Although the Zulus were armed with broadswords and spears, how much stronger could the Manchu army be? Could it be that when the heavy machine gun arrives in our hands, it becomes an ornament? ”

"However, Wu Yijun and Yuan Shikai's new army are all equipped with artillery!" An army muttered.

"They have artillery, you don't? What a bastard! Xu Lie suddenly scolded, "You are just a group of soft-footed shrimp, and when you heard that there were 100,000 enemies, you were frightened!" Haven't you thought that we are fighting a cold weapon war with the Qing army in the field, charging face to face? We are a very well-equipped army with modern weapons! Tell you to take a spear and stab your enemy, and of course you are not an opponent; But let you hold a machine gun, you are not yet an opponent of ten? Even if those ten people are rifles? ”

"Our mountain artillery battalion has 18 75 mm caliber mountain guns, the effective range of this mountain artillery is 10 kilometers, and the maximum effective range of the Qing army's artillery at this time is only 6 kilometers, Huang Jisheng, do you have the confidence to wipe out all the Qing artillery that enters the range of artillery?"

"Report to the Commander! The artillery battalion will destroy all enemies who dare to attack! Huang Jisheng stood up, patted his chest and said.

Huang Jisheng is not the "three beats" cadre of the original time and space, as the commander of the artillery team of the original Qing army, only he knows the sharpness of the artillery of the Mengshan army, and the artillery of the imperial army is not his opponent at all.

This is indeed a fact, although Xu Lie repeatedly said that he wanted to get the kind of artillery very close to the 1900s, but Yang reformed the original time and space, and finally only ordered this kind of mountain cannon with late World War II technology in a military factory in a Central African country. As for the steel used in these mountain guns, it is at least equivalent to the steel level of the seventies of the twentieth century.

If you really want to talk about it, Meng Shanjun is actually bullying people. It's just that the relevant commanders don't have this awareness, even if Xu Lie has said it many times, but after all, it lacks the effect of "seeing is believing".

"If the mountain artillery battalion really has this ability, our victory rate will be greatly improved in those times." Yuan Yong finally had a little confidence.

"Chief of staff, in addition to the mountain artillery battalions, we have a 105 mortar company in each regiment, an 81 mortar platoon in each battalion, and a 60 mortar squad in each company, and the total number of these mortars is added up, each regiment has 60 mortars 18 guns, 81 mortars 12 guns, and 105 mortars 8 guns, for a total of 38 guns, at least 114 mortars in the whole army;

In addition, each regiment's heavy machine gun company, battalion-level heavy machine gun platoon, and company-level heavy machine gun squad have a total of 54 Makqin heavy machine guns, and the whole army is equipped with at least 162 heavy machine guns, with so much heavy firepower, plus the effective range of our rifles is 400 meters, and the effective range of Qing rifles is at most 200 meters or 300 meters, are we still afraid of the Qing army?

The commander said well, if we all beat each other with burning sticks, we will have to deal with ten times the enemy, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult to win! But now we have guns with a longer range and more power than the enemy, and we are still here babbling and fearful, which is really embarrassing.

If you don't have faith, let me go up with the recruits I'm training in. I believe that even the recruits who hold the calf village can beat the imperial army to the ground looking for teeth! ”

Wang Changjiang, who had rarely spoken at the meeting, suddenly burst out with a large number of astonishing remarks.

And Wang Changjiang's words suddenly blew up the venue. Nima, who's to say it's not? For Mao Wang Changjiang, he can see it clearly, and he is afraid?

"Good, good, good! Director Wang said it well! You people, when you see the number of enemies, are afraid. We didn't even count our own combat power!

Now, I will tell you what our combat power is, our rifle shooting distance is more than 100 miles away from the enemy, the important thing is that the firing speed of the five or six semi-automatic rifles we have, the minimum can reach 35 rounds per minute, and the best rifle of the Qing soldiers does not reach 10 rounds per minute, only from the advantage brought to us by the rate of fire, 10,000 rifles are equivalent to 30,000 of the enemy; If you add the firing range, I thought that the enemy would not be able to threaten us at all!

Speaking of the Makqin heavy machine gun, some people have calculated that as long as the heavy machine gun bullet tube is enough, a company has the combat effectiveness of a heavy machine gun, which is definitely equivalent to two companies, if the shooting vision is good, don't say that the opponent's two companies can't rush up, even five companies can't break through the defense of a heavy machine gun!

Our entire army is armed with at least 162 heavy machine guns, which is equivalent to an increase of 162 companies and at least an increase in combat strength of 20,000 people. As for our mountain artillery and mortars, they also had a much greater advantage than the Qing army. Let me ask: In this case, is it necessary to be afraid of the Qing army? ”

Xu Lie followed Wang Changjiang's train of thought and also spoke a long paragraph.

Wang Changjiang's words really made Xu Lie very happy. Because Wang Changjiang's remarks show that he is a person who is good at thinking, although the operational command is biased towards honesty, it does not mean that Wang Changjiang will not use his brains.

Perhaps, Wang Changjiang is also a natural candidate to serve as the head of the fourth main regiment. Xu Lie looked at the three regiment leaders who had not yet expressed their position, and had a new idea in his heart.
