While the infantry and artillery were arguing about the ownership of the mortar, the cavalry wanted to come and participate in it.

Sun Chuanfang also immediately stood up and said that he wanted to add mortars to the cavalry to strengthen the cavalry's firepower.

This topic has just been raised and has been opposed by the infantry and artillery, what is the matter with you, the cavalry, coming to join in the fun?

After being opposed by the infantry and artillery, Sun Chuanfang was also a little unhappy, but he calmed down in an instant, what he is now copying is what the cavalry wants this thing for, his own cavalry can't use this to fight the fortress, only then did Sun Chuanfang remember that he was no longer the person in charge of the bandit detachment, so the question of cavalry equipping mortars was over.

Now Wang Bin watched his subordinates arguing over the ownership of mortars, no matter what thoughts he had in his heart now, he couldn't say it, although he had already made a decision on the equipment of mortars, but this matter was still put on the bright side, let everyone discuss it first, and then it would be better for him to come up with a plan in the end, rather than directly refute the opinions of his subordinates and directly implement his own plan.

For a while, you went back and forth in this conference room, and both sides wanted to prove that they belonged to the mortar, so that Wang Bin could make a decision as soon as possible.

At this time, Wang Bin found that Ma Zikai had not made his own remarks since the meeting, so Wang Bin was very curious about Ma Zikai's attitude towards this new weapon, so Wang Bin motioned to Ma Zikai to say his opinion on mortars.

"My lord, when I went to the arsenal to ask Mr. Sergei to increase the production of mortars, I learned from Mr. Sergei that they were going to study a 60 mm mortar and a 120 mm mortar recently, so in the eyes of the department, this 120 mm mortar will only weigh a lot, and this 60 mm mortar will be lighter, so this 120 mm mortar will no longer be suitable for infantry to carry with the army, while the 60 mm mortar infantry can carry with the army, Therefore, in terms of the department, this 60 mm mortar can be carried by the infantry team, the 80 mm mortar can be carried by the infantry battalion, and the 120 mm mortar can be uniformly owned and marked to form a mortar heavy artillery battalion for fire support in a large-scale war. ”

Wang Bin was a little surprised after listening to Ma Zikai's words.

Unexpectedly, Ma Zikai just went to the arsenal and learned about his mortar plan, and before he could say the pre-production plan of the 60 mm and 120 mm mortars, Ma Zikai had already made a correct definition of the mortar.

It seems that Ma Zikai's sensitivity to these things is much higher than that of other officers, Wang Bin thought in his heart.

Wang Bin nodded and said, "Yes, since everyone thinks that the mortar is easy to use, why not expand or reduce its caliber?" In this way, your argument will be over, and the 60 mm infantry battalion, the 80 mm infantry battalion, and the 120 mm gun mark. ”

Wang Bin formally set the standard for the installation of mortars.

After Wang Bin set the standard of mortars, the infantry and artillery officers thought that this seemed to make sense, and the artillery officers were thinking that since there were 120 mm heavy mortars, why did they need that kind of small-caliber mortar, and the infantry officers thought that they wanted such a heavy mortar. It's better to be lighter.

And so the dispute between the infantry and the artillery over the mortar ended.

After the artillery officers knew that there was still a 120-millimeter heavy mortar, they asked Wang Bin with great anticipation when this heavy mortar would be able to be equipped.

However, Wang Bin's answer made these artillery officers a little disappointed: "The caliber of 120 mm is a little larger, so it is still under development." ”

After listening to Wang Bin's words, all the artillery officers looked a little disappointed.

At this time, Wang Bin suddenly said: "Since the dispute between the infantry and the artillery over the mortar has been resolved, then it is time to talk about the equipment plan of this mortar. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Bin paused suddenly, and first whetted the appetite of the officers present before he said slowly: "In this officer's installation plan, first of all, the lack of mortars in the early stage is considered, so this officer will gather all mortars together for a unified mortar manipulation tutorial, and then the installation plan." ”

"After the completion of the unified training, each infantry battalion will have a mortar team with six 60-millimeter mortars and two 80-millimeter mortars, and each infantry standard will have a mortar team with six 80-millimeter mortars.

As for the artillery targets, there is a mortar battalion directly under the town, equipped with 12 120-mm mortars and 6 80-mm mortars.

The remaining baggage battalion has four 60-mm mortars, so that we will be armed with 142 mortars. Wang Bin slowly said his plan for the installation.

In fact, there is no need for so many mortars for the current Fifth Town, but Wang Bin is still ready to implement this equipment plan, mainly considering that the Fifth Town is now his own team, since it is his own team, he must spare no effort to strengthen the combat ability of the Fifth Town, as long as the combat ability is improved, Wang Bin does not care how much it will cost, after all, this Fifth Town will become one of his own in the future changes, the money is gone, but the troops he relies on are gone, That's the big deal.

Moreover, in the clean-up operation a few days ago, Wang Bin turned over all the bandit dens in western Liaoxi, and seized a total of nearly 400,000 taels of silver, so there was not much pressure on the funds, which contributed to Wang Bin's one-time mortar equipment in place.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get the grenadier with the current technology, Wang Bin would have prepared to load the grenadier canister again with each infantry team.

The officers present didn't speak much for a while after listening to Wang Bin's loading plan.

Because they found that the plan proposed by Wang Bin was very suitable for the current Fifth Town, the infantry and artillery were equipped with mortars as they wished, and needless to say, this infantry, except for the 120 mm mortar, which was not equipped, all the other calibers were occupied by the infantry.

All of a sudden, these officers all showed satisfied expressions, and the next item should be discussed.
