Chapter VIII Development of new weapons
"Wing King, if Luo Yang annihilates the Qing Demon with a hundred elite soldiers, I hope you can promote my rank to general!"
"This?" Everyone in the tent was stunned, Shi Dakai was especially embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before agreeing: "Okay!" ”
"Also, the beauties in this barracks are chosen by me! Whoever I want is who I want! ”
When Shi Dakai and Zeng Zaifu heard this, they immediately laughed dumbly, Shi Feng laughed even more exaggeratedly, but Princess Pan snorted coldly, expressing incomparable anger and contempt.
"Only a beauty can be worthy of a hero, and that's fine!" Shi Da said cheerfully.
Luo Yang was very disappointed, he really hoped that Shi Dakai and the others would refute his unreasonable demands, so that he could find an excuse to not risk on the battlefield.
"Then, give me ten sniper rifles and two thousand grenades." Luo Yang said that, only to see everyone's big eyes, knowing that he had said the wrong line, he hurriedly changed his words, "Okay, okay, I don't expect that there is no one in this army, in this way, Wing King, you go to select a hundred elite soldiers, I will go to the battlefield to observe the situation again, I need a telescope, look at the battlefield carefully, see where to attack, the most suitable breakthrough point!" ”
"Good!"
Luo Yang strode out of the Chinese army tent of the king of the wings, immediately asked for the war horse, under the guidance of Shi Feng and Zeng Zaifu, marched to the battlefield, it didn't take long to arrive, dozens of cavalry stopped at the edge of the battlefield, only to see the infantry camp of the Taiping army, still stationed in the woods and tall grass, many soldiers will be clumsy weapons such as foreign guns and guns, loaded with gunpowder, and start a war anytime and anywhere, the Taiping army also has several cannons, waiting to shoot. It's an extremely old solid iron cannon.
The scorching sun scorched the earth, the heroic Taiping army continued to encircle the Qing army in a large encirclement, and the two sides had skirmishes from time to time. In particular, a large number of deep trenches, which effectively covered themselves and reduced losses.
Luo Yang carefully observed, thinking, the terrain in this area, is relying on a river in the west, spread out to the southeast, north and south, the Qing army occupies a semi-circular position, and also dug a lot of ravines, higher than the artillery position, those cannons, some are iron cast cannons, and some should be imported from abroad early explosive shells, the so-called flowering shells. The muzzle diameter is small and medium-sized.
Woo! A cannonball flew over and exploded around him, sending a lot of earth into a splash, and the surrounding Taiping soldiers scattered and fled for their lives.
"I don't understand any common sense?"
"Common sense?" Shi Feng and Zeng Zai Fu Mu Ran.
Luo Yang pointed out the strategy when facing the enemy's artillery and analyzed the reasons: "Whenever the enemy explodes and bombards with shells, lie down immediately, and absolutely do not run around, because this shell kills with shrapnel and poses the greatest threat to the standing target!" The two, tell the soldiers in the future that if anyone doesn't want to die, they must learn to lie on the ground, and don't get together, because they will become a big target for the enemy's attack, and they will only die faster! ”
Shi Feng and Zeng Zaifu immediately stood in awe: "Yes, yes, you said it well!" After saying that, immediately send someone to inform the troops.
One last time to see the battlefield, one last time to play with the telescope! Luo Yang had a lot of sorrow in his heart, he looked at the battlefield carefully, and he still didn't have a score in his heart, although he said that he wanted to use elite soldiers to sneak attack, but he was not a special policeman, not a special commando, he was experienced, and he was a complete layman in special operations operations.
However, as a modern artilleryman, his head is much more flexible.
He observed the situation of the river in the deep valley of tranquility, and was deeply shocked by the roaring waters of the great southwest. Looking at the sloping slope of the river, he gradually had an idea.
Returning to the command post of the northern front, Luo Yang met Shi Dakai, Pan Wangniang and others, as well as some unfamiliar Taiping army generals. Shi Dakai was very happy: "Okay, right?" ”
"Hmm!"
Pan Wangniang smiled very happily: "When will the war start?" ”
"Tonight! About 4 to 5 days! ”
During the speech, a general brought a hundred elite soldiers, lined up in a small square, and asked Luo Yang to review, Luo Yang stepped forward, carefully observed everyone's expressions, and found that they were all very vigorous and fierce.
He briefly encouraged the soldiers, nothing more than the rank of money beauty, and then explained the tactical intent, "Now make weapons, rest in the afternoon, sneak into the Anning River slope during the third watch, slowly move to the west of the Qing army's formation, and suddenly attack during the fifth watch, remember, wait for the rising star to rise before we start, our task is to infiltrate the Qing army, kill them or kill most of them." We're the killer group, and our approach to attack is like this......"
All the soldiers showed a look of confusion and fear, and even whispered until the noise became louder, and a few soldiers questioned: "Brother, can we kill two or three thousand Qing demons?" ”
"Why not?" Luo Yang made a tiger face.
"However, the Qing Demon is not a pumpkin gourd, waiting for us to chop it casually! I'm afraid that before we go up, we will be cut down! A few daring soldiers were indignant.
Shi Dakai, Shi Feng, Zeng Zaifu and other generals all looked at Luo Yang calmly, wanting to hear his explanation.
"No, think about it, yesterday the Qing Demon won a big victory, and today our army can't break through its formation, do they have to be proud? The arrogant army will be defeated, if our army sneaks up on the bank of the Anning River, and then uses the force to contain it, the Qing demon will definitely be unprepared. Besides, our army has new weapons, and if the demons dare to resist, they are purely looking for death! Luo Yang said triumphantly.
"New weapons?"
"Yes!"
According to the order, the soldier brought a large bag of gunpowder, Luo Yang twisted some of it, looked at the black powder with regret, and then began to make grenades. The gunpowder was wrapped in iron sand, pebbles, and broken porcelain pieces, and tied with string to form a cylindrical shape. Ropes were also laid out in it.
"See? That's it! ”
The soldier did as he was instructed and quickly packed a large number of explosives packages. There are three types, the smallest fist is big, the medium melon is bigger, and the larger watermelon is bigger. Each gunpowder bag was mixed with a large number of iron sand porcelain pieces, and the fire wire was arranged.
"Brother, how do you play this?"
"yes, what do you mean? What's the matter? ”
The soldiers were very curious.
"The small one is a grenade, the future grenade, it will be like this, it can be thrown, it can be pulled directly, it is powerful, the medium-sized one is a mine pack, which can lead a long rope to blow up the Qing Demon, and the large one is an explosive pack, which can destroy the strong fortifications of the Qing Demon, or blow up its dense infantry, these are the necessary melee heavy firepower for our infantry to attack the enemy, with these weapons, once we enter the hand-to-hand combat, we can inflict heavy damage on the Qing Demon!" Luo Yang explained carefully, step by step, until every soldier showed surprise on his face.
"Is that okay? Really fake. ”
"Brother Luo, we've never used it."
"yes, how do you know that?"
"Heh, this bag of things must rush into the Qing Demon crowd before it can be used, boom, one pack will kill a lot of them, hahaha, I believe it!"
"Brother Luo, you are so good, how can you think of this method?"
After understanding the timing and method of the attack, and after adding explosives packs, the hundred elite soldiers dispelled their suspicions, were eager to try, and also admired Luo Yang.
Shi Dakai and the others also saw Luo Yang's new weapon, and couldn't help but applaud, "Okay, no wonder you have the certainty of defeating the enemy!" ”
