The Twenty-Fourth Artillery Adaptation (2)
Soon, after preliminary discussions, the preparation according to the plan was also released. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but according to Zhang Feiyang's plan, this unit is divided into three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade, of which three infantry brigades have also undergone some fine-tuning, but they have quickly solved the corresponding big problems. As for the three infantry brigades, they also built the shelves first, so that their artillery would be replenished, especially in the future. At present, it still has no artillery, and it still needs Zhang Feiyang to send people to produce and replenish in the future.
The Red Jacket Army is currently divided into four brigades, and the naming rules are very simple, the first brigade, the second brigade, the third brigade and the artillery brigade. The three brigade commanders of the infantry brigade are Yang Miaozhen, Liu Quan, and Yang You, and the commander of the artillery brigade, Zhang Feiyang.
Of course, this is out-and-out cronyism. The commander of the first brigade, Yang Miaozhen, is Yang An'er's sister, the commander of the second brigade is Yang An'er and Yang Miaozhen's uncle, and the commander of the third brigade is Yang An'er's nephew. As for the last artillery brigade commander, that is, Yang Miaozhen's fiancé and Yang An'er's brother-in-law. Zhang Feiyang served as the brigade commander of this artillery brigade, but in fact, they were unavailable, and at present, apart from Zhang Feiyang, who else could be qualified for the duties of this kind of artillery firearms? So at present, only Zhang Feiyang can do it, which is also certain.
After everyone discussed the establishment, Zhang Feiyang immediately went to select soldiers. According to the agreement between Zhang Feiyang and Yang An'er, Zhang Feiyang is qualified to choose soldiers by himself, and even has the right to choose first. At present, the Red Jacket Army relies on Zhang Feiyang's firearms, so it is natural to give Zhang Feiyang the right to give priority to the selection of soldiers, which is inevitable. Zhang Feiyang quickly selected those who were suitable to be artillerymen, because Zhang Feiyang was also a veteran with 20 years of artillery experience, and he could see at a glance who was suitable for being an artilleryman. So he quickly picked out the people he wanted and went to form this artillery brigade.
Zhang Feiyang soon began to decide on the establishment of his subordinates.
"The 1st Artillery Regiment is actually the real main combat force. The so-called 2nd Artillery Regiment and 3rd Artillery Regiment were nothing more than units used to produce various types of firearms. This 2nd Artillery Regiment produced light firearms, and the 3rd Artillery Regiment was responsible for the research and production of medium and heavy firearms. At present, there are two kinds of products, among which the first battalion under the second artillery regiment is responsible for the production of grenades and mines, the second battalion is responsible for the production of tiger squat guns, and the third battalion is responsible for preparing and collecting various raw materials. As for the third regiment, it is currently in charge of a product of rockets. ”
Zhang Feiyang quickly decided on the establishment of this artillery brigade, and the second and third regiments were actually just production units, responsible for producing firearms for use by other units. However, at present, Zhang Feiyang adopts the production mode of the assembly line, which is conducive to their leadership and management. With the production mode of the assembly line, it is more conducive to them to speed up production. The production efficiency of this assembly line has increased by more than ten times, and even the secrecy effect has been improved countless times, so Zhang Feiyang is certainly not stupid. Such an assembly line production method is conducive to improving industrial strength, especially the industrial strength of the current war.
The effect of the assembly line is that anyone who knows a certain history knows this power, and Zhang Fei has also adopted it. He even had to think about the formation of the first regiment, that is, the real combat unit. The establishment should be set first, so that the arrangement and allocation of manpower can be carried out. And the combat quality required by artillery is not as good as that of front-line infantry, but it is stricter in other aspects. Dividing them according to their abilities is conducive to the next assignment of positions.
"First of all, the 1st Artillery Regiment, subordinate to the 1st Battalion, was a minegrenadier battalion, which was responsible for the use of mines and throwing grenades. The use of mines is certainly very powerful, and it has great benefits for retreating and besieging the enemy, hindering the enemy's attack. Throwing grenades, once the enemy is close, and on a large scale, the effect is absolutely incomparable. In later Europe, weren't the so-called grenadier units also specially formed? Although it was eliminated later, it was also because the artillery was more powerful and you were eliminated, so the grenadiers were eliminated. However, in the case of insufficient artillery power and flexibility, special grenadiers are also needed. Even in the XXI century, grenades have not been completely eliminated, so this grenadier can still exist. ”
After deciding that the first battalion was a grenadier battalion, the second battalion belonged to the tiger squat artillery battalion according to Zhang Feiyang's plan. The second battalion uses the Tiger Squat Cannon, but this Tiger Squat Cannon is not the light Tiger Squat Cannon. This Tiger Squat Cannon is a large-caliber Tiger Squat Cannon, and its caliber is at least twice that of the Tiger Squat Cannon used by the grassroots troops. In particular, this tiger squat cannon was designed according to the methods of the later Ming Dynasty. The tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty was not just a model, the kind of tiger squat cannon that Zhang Feiyang made before was only lightweight, and it was used for those grassroots field troops as fire support for the grassroots troops.
But the next need is to make more arrangements, and the tiger squat cannon used by the second battalion is a caliber method, so that the power can be greater. This Tiger Squat Cannon is the best weapon used to kill and injure the enemy's vital forces at a medium distance, and within a medium distance of about 500 to 200 meters from the enemy, it can be attacked with the Tiger Squat Cannon of the second battalion.
As for approaching, within one hundred and fifty meters, you have to receive the impact of the arrows of the crossbowmen. Even if you barely get closer, you have to accept the grenadiers' throws. Such a density of firepower is enough to surpass this era. With such heavy firepower, I'm afraid few people can stand it. Even such a fierce firepower made it unbearable for any army of this era, not even the Mongol army.
"The third battalion, responsible for the use of rockets."
The third battalion uses rockets, although the cost of rockets is high and the accuracy of hitting is low, but it has a very important advantage, that is, the range and delivery speed of rockets are the fastest. Zhang Feiyang knows the biggest disadvantages of rockets, that is, the high cost, the waste of gunpowder, and the low accuracy. However, his advantage is that he has a high range and is extremely fast. High range means being able to hit farther, which is a very important parameter for an artilleryman. For artillery, firing range is absolutely the most important parameter, there is no one.
No matter how powerful your artillery is, then you don't have enough range, and it's all for nothing. Even if the enemy is not as powerful as you, but the range is longer than yours, that is, only the enemy will fight you, and you will not fight the enemy. So the first thing to consider in any artillery is the range, and the others can be slowed down a bit.
Even the reason why later aircraft and missiles were able to eliminate artillery was not because of how powerful the aircraft missiles were, but because their range and accuracy were higher than those of artillery, not because they were more powerful. If artillery can have the range of aircraft and missiles, then artillery will not only not be obsolete, but will be more brilliant. Unfortunately, this is not possible.
Although Zhang Feiyang's rocket is costly, it also has the advantage of fast delivery. Rockets are capable of firing enough rockets in a very short period of time, and their firepower delivery per unit of time is at its peak. As an artillery expert, Zhang Feiyang knows that there is an important parameter of this army's firepower, that is, the amount of firepower delivered per unit of time. Some armies have plenty of ammunition but are not able to deliver it quickly and effectively.
This is like a rifle, an automatic rifle has thousands of rounds a minute, but that kind of non-automatic rifle is a minute away. In this way, the automatic rifle has a more powerful delivery ability per unit time, so that the ordinary non-automatic rifle will definitely be suppressed, and it will not even be able to fight back. Therefore, this artillery does not only consider the power and accuracy of the artillery, but also has an important responsibility to suppress the enemy's artillery.
It is necessary to suppress the enemy's offensive capabilities, so that even if they have enough artillery and offensive power, they will not be able to exert themselves. If even the artillery can't fight back effectively, and is suppressed, then no amount of shells you have will be in vain. This rocket is actually a very suitable means to suppress the enemy, although he has a low cost, high accuracy and even difficult to load, but he survived tenaciously, because this rocket has a very strong ability to deliver per unit of time, countless times more than ordinary artillery.
"The fourth battalion, ready to be formed, the fourth battalion is to use the Napoleonic cannon of the future, but it still can't be made at the moment." Zhang Feiyang said with a headache.
Zhang Feiyang still planned to form the fourth battalion, which was actually based on Zhang Feiyang's plan and used Napoleonic guns. This Napoleonic cannon is a bronze cannon, which can be said to stand at the pinnacle of front-loading guns. The most advanced and accurate of the front-loading guns, that is, the Napoleonic guns. Napoleonic cannons can hit barns more than 2,000 meters away, and artillery shells include solid, grapevine, and flowering shells. The Napoleon cannon is a general-purpose artillery that has a longer range, higher accuracy, and even more functionality than the Tiger Squat cannon, which can only be used to kill and wound enemy infantry.
"It's a pity that the Napoleonic cannon can't be made at the moment. None of the current craftsmen can reach the level of competence to make a Napoleonic cannon, they simply do not have the ability to make this Napoleonic cannon. Even bronze cannot be smelted. We don't have enough smelting equipment at the moment, so I'm afraid it's hard to be able to smelt these bronzes for making Napoleonic cannons! Zhang Feiyang thought even more with a headache.
However, Zhang Feiyang still left these people, leaving the establishment of the fourth battalion of artillery operations, the establishment of the fourth battalion of artillery, and the Napoleonic cannon can be used after it is manufactured. However, the so-called Napoleonic cannon in this world may no longer be called a Napoleonic cannon, and I am afraid that it will be renamed a "flying" cannon.
Zhang Feiyang appointed two foremen he was familiar with as the head of the second regiment and the third regiment, the second regiment and the third regiment were for the production of firearms, so it was not strange for Zhang Feiyang to appoint the foreman to serve as the regiment leader, and Zhang Fei also appointed several foremen under him at that time, so that they were responsible for organizing assembly line production, which was also more appropriate. Even the battalions and companies under the so-called Second and Fourth Regiments are actually nothing more than a production team in the final analysis. A company is probably an assembly line, and a battalion is also a factory workshop. The last regiment commander was also a factory director and was not responsible for combat missions.
However, Zhang Feiyang knew that the essence of this artillery regiment was the first regiment, and Zhang Feiyang not only served as the brigade commander of the artillery brigade, but also personally served as the commander of this artillery regiment. Zhang Feiyang knows very well that this artillery is his capital for power and profit, and if there is no artillery, he will be nothing in the future. Therefore, it is impossible for him to easily hand over these artillery units in charge of operations to others, and it is important to manage them personally.
With this artillery regiment, he was able to maintain his position. Once you don't have an artillery regiment, I'm afraid that in the end, you will inevitably lose your influence and status in this Red Jacket Army. At that time, not to mention fighting for power and profit, fighting for the right to speak, and even saving his life. This is also the troubled times, those who have military power and soldiers have combat effectiveness, that is the uncle! If you don't have military power, then what are you?
Zhang Feiyang made some adjustments according to the establishment, and finally built the shelves of this artillery brigade. But in fact, it is just a shelf, and many of those soldiers are not professionally trained. The grenadiers were the simplest, and on the surface they only needed to throw the palm grenade out, but they often couldn't throw it accurately, either far or near. If you don't throw it well on the battlefield, then you throw it directly on your comrades, and it's troublesome.
As for those artillerymen, they will not aim so far, and once they leave Zhang Feiyang, their artillery will not be accurate at all, and they will not be able to hit effectively. This is also a very headache for Zhang Feiyang, if these guys are not solved.
"It seems that the foundation is still too low to be able to train effectively. These soldiers, especially those artillery officers, must undergo rigorous training, otherwise how can they be able to perform combat missions on the battlefield in the future? Zhang Feiyang thought.
However, at this time, Zhang Feiyang's fiancée Yang Miaozhen also came over.
"Husband, I have something I want to trouble you for!" Yang Miaozhen said.
Zhang Feiyang immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Soon, Yang Miaozhen also said that she wanted to get rid of Zhang Feiyang, which made Zhang Feiyang firm in his thoughts.
