In this era, many people do not realize that the problem of population will become acute with the development of society. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The population of Dahan is only 50 million, and even if Shanyue and Yinhu are completely calculated, without considering the war attrition, it is already very good to have 100 million. In modern times, this is just the number of people in Guangdong Province!

Factories need more workers, fishing, agriculture and commerce need manpower, the government needs manpower, and more importantly, children who are not yet able to make their own decisions and the elderly who are no longer able to work. There are only about 3 million young and strong people in the entire autonomous region, and the key is that there is almost no surplus labor!

There are quite a few people on the Wuyi side, but obviously these people are not educated, do not understand etiquette and can't even speak official language. It is difficult to really integrate into the republic, saying that it is part of the republic, in fact, it is more like the Wuyishan Special Zone.

Industry needs a lot of raw materials, not to say that these raw materials are not here in the Republic, but only that they need manpower to be exploited. The more industrialized it is, the more raw materials are needed, and it is clear that there is already a shortage of supply.

Lin Ming came out this time, saying that he had sent artillery, but in fact, he mainly complained about the shortage of industrial raw materials. He proposed to import from other places, or specifically increase the import price of this part, Li Yu thought about it and agreed.

Of course, the point is that the artillery was sent, 5 75-mm field guns to be exact. Three of them have been quickly transported to the front line, and two remain to be deployed on the border.

This is the first real sense of artillery, not the kind of general cannon of the Ming and Qing dynasties that can only shoot solid bullets, its level is at least the level of the first war, the most pittable is that the cannonball detonating charge still needs to be partially purchased through the system. The lack of raw materials and the excessive consumption of the production process made the cost of shells very high.

The power is beyond doubt, it is considering the cost of raw materials that Lin Ming came over and proposed to increase the purchase volume. As for the technical aspects, he will continue to study, there are too many experimental topics, and it is impossible to improve them all at the same time.

"Artillery? Artillery? "Artillery was delivered to the front line almost for the first time, and the first to be delivered was, of course, to this part of Jing County. The research and artillery training of this thing were carried out in secret, and it was no wonder that Li Wen did not know about it.

"Yes, at the moment the production of such weapons is still very small, and the cost of manufacturing is too high, so the Führer said that it will not be massively armed. This time, the three armies got one for each, and we sent artillery to support the general, and this is the Führer's warrant! "There were only five artillerymen who came over this time, including observers, calibrators, shell transporters, and gunners, with a commander and political commissar, and it was he who handed over Li Yu's warrant at this moment.

"What kind of class are you, and why does the Führer treat you like treasures?" Li Wen looked at the warrant, which clearly stated that the artillery and shells must be protected, even if 100 or even 500 people are killed because of this, the artillery must be protected. Otherwise, at least the artillery will be blown up!

It is not difficult to understand that it was blown up, after all, there is such a thing as black powder, and black powder grenades are very common equipment today, and there are 500 grenades in the logistics materials of his army. But the steel of this artillery is obviously very good, with the power of a grenade, can it be blown up?

He couldn't help but look at the shell, and then he seemed to realize what this cannon was, and the key was what this shell was. When you think about it, you can't help but shudder, if this thing can blow up this cannon, can it also blow them to smithereens?!

"We belong to the siege force, and we are specially dealing with cities and fortifications!" The artillery commander replied with a salute.

"I said that since we came out to attack the city this time, they didn't even give us a siege machine, and thought that we were going to build a ladder on the spot, and we were going to smash the city gate ourselves......" Li Wen suddenly realized when he heard this, and suddenly laughed.

They had really smashed the gates themselves, but they didn't know that the artillery was being transported here. Originally, it would have been difficult to transport this thing from the mountains, let alone to the front line. The other two roads have not yet begun to attack the city, who knows that Li Wenbu actually directly smashed other people's city gates with a hammer, and then killed them like this......

"Can we test this artillery?" Li Wen had never seen this thing before, so he was naturally very curious about its power. In fact, the martial artists are very curious about good weapons, and they don't all come around.

"I'm sorry, but the production of cannonballs is expensive, so the Führer doesn't mean to waste cannonballs unless it's attacking enemy forts or cities!" The commander said regretfully.

"It's always going to be used in the future, so what about one more shot and one less shot? It's a big deal that when you report it in the future, just write one more issue! Don't be stingy, let's give it a try? "Li Wen is not dead yet.

"I'm sorry, but our artillery has a clear rule that every shell fired must be registered, no matter what the situation, and I will personally write a report on its use. If there is any inaccuracy, it is also a violation of military law! "The commander didn't get in.

"Then in the next war, you have to behave well!" Li Wen knew that the military law was harsh, so he naturally did not dare to violate it casually.

"How many cannons can blow the gates open? I mean, what if a city gate like Jing County is like Wanling? Xu Shu stepped forward and asked. Those staff officers in the staff department also pricked up their ears at this moment, after all, the power of artillery will also affect their layout.

"We have observed that Jingxian can blow up the city gate with one shot! If it's Wanling, it's a pity that we haven't seen it, but it should be the iron-clad city gate, so it will take at least two cannons to open it! "The artillery commander gave an answer based on the results of previous training.

"And what about range?" There is no need for Xu Shu to say anything, there are already staff officers who have begun to ask questions.

"Ten miles away, 100 shots!" The artillery commander replied confidently and proudly.

"Hiss......" Suddenly the entire conference room gasped, after all, it was not easy for a catapult to hit a distance of two miles in these years, let alone powerful. Ten miles away, two cannons directly broke an iron-clad city gate, no matter how you think about it, it feels too terrible.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to see where the enemy is in the future, so I'll have to be in a different place!" Li Wen immediately figured out why Li Yu attached so much importance to artillery.

On the one hand, the power of the cannon is indeed too terrible, and a careless detonation of these cannonballs will indeed hurt his own people; But the real reason is that I am still worried that the manufacturing technology will fall into the hands of the enemy, and the casualties of our own army will be greatly increased at that time.

"You can't lie about that! Can this shoot that far? Dian Wei was obviously a little unconvinced.

"When attacking Wanling, the general will be convinced!" I didn't expect the artillery commander to be stubborn. It is not surprising to say that the people who can be artillery are Li Yu's devout believers, real die-hards, not to mention that they have verified the power of this cannon, only that Dian Wei questioned the artillery invented by Li Yu with the technology, which made the five of them very angry.

Dian Wei wanted to argue about something, but Li Wen didn't let him continue to say anything. How the power will be seen tomorrow, there is no need to talk nonsense here, and it will hurt a little to continue talking.

From Jing County to the north, it is basically a plain terrain. Not only that, east of Wucheng in Wu County, most of Yuzhang County is a plain terrain. This will not cause too much trouble for the transportation of the cannon, and it will also allow the cannon to exert its maximum effect.

Jing County is only more than 70 miles away from Wanling in the north, but the artillery transportation is a bit troublesome, in order to transport this Li Yu specially allocated two Tieling horses to pull the horse, which did not drag the back of the large army.

"It's just ten miles away from Wanling City, do you dare to fire here?" Li Wen pointed not far in front and said, Looking at the past here, at most, you can only see a small section of the city wall of Wanling City.

"Why is the general embarrassed by the villain?" The commander smiled bitterly, this place is not a big problem, as long as you stand on a higher place and observe, you can still shoot, but who will shoot here at the highest range?

Even if the gate is blown up, the distance of ten miles is enough for the other party to react, and when the time comes, the other party has not yet arrived, but the other party has already filled the loophole, isn't this a waste of shells?

"It's okay, that's what I need!" Li Wen probably knew what the commander was thinking, but he said with a smile.

Li Wendu said so, and the artillery commander could not say anything, and directly ordered the observers and calibrators to get ready. After observing the target and the place where the shells landed, the first shells were quickly filled under his command and then fired.

Just listen to the sound of "boom", the shells flew out, and the naked eye could hardly keep up. Before they could react, there was a roar from Wanling City. Take a look with a telescope again, good guy, at this moment, the gate of Wanling City was actually deformed by the shells, just like this, let alone continue to bombard, you can smash it open directly with a heavy hammer!

"One more shot!" Levine was very surprised by this effect, but he was also very satisfied. Ignoring the officers who had been frightened by the scene in front of him, he turned around and shouted again.

"Yes!" On the battlefield, Li Wencai was the supreme commander, and the artillery commander could only obey orders. In less than thirty seconds, the second cannon burst out, and naturally there was no doubt that the city gate collapsed.

"The whole army obeys the order!" Seeing this, Li Wen nodded with satisfaction, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "The whole army listens to the order, sings the military song, and we go straight forward!" ”

At this time, only a few people could understand Li Wen's intentions, but it didn't matter, as they commanded the soldiers below to sing, the other soldiers also sang along.

The army slowly advanced like this, and the sound of "Song of Freedom" was getting closer and closer to Wanling City, which was deafening.

"We surrender, we surrender!" The defenders had laid down their arms and surrendered with almost no resistance. Just now, two heavenly thunderbolts suddenly landed, blasting their city gate open, and when they heard this song again, they immediately substituted themselves into it.

No, since the republican **** is a righteous army, isn't it an evil army? It seems that this is indeed the case, otherwise why did God suddenly send down two heavenly thunderbolts and help the army of the republic smash open the city gates?

Many soldiers are uneducated, so they subconsciously put this in relationship with ghosts and gods, and the result is that these soldiers are frightened and have no intention of resisting at all. Seeing this, the lieutenant naturally could not continue to resist, so he could only announce his surrender.

The two artillery pieces set Wanling, and it became a war story for a while...... (To be continued.) )
