After the mortar dispute came to an end, Wang Bin made a series of summaries of some tactics that are worth promoting and some aspects that need to be corrected.

In Wang Bin's own opinion, now it is necessary not only to strengthen the intensity of artillery, but also to strengthen the offensive firepower of the infantry.

The role of heavy machine guns was also fully demonstrated in this operation.

Let's just say that the blocking of the grove, it was precisely because of the intensive fire of the heavy machine guns that those bandits did not dare to raise their heads, and played a great credit for the soldiers' rapid breakthrough into the first line of defense.

It is also very favored by many officers of the heavy machine gun infantry battalion, not to mention that the troops under Wang Bin have been equipped with heavy machine guns for several months, and the equipment of heavy machine guns has become more and more mature, and at this time the heavy machine guns are completely suitable for starting to be decentralized.

So Wang Bin then put forward a plan for the secondary installation of heavy machine guns: "In the officer's view, it is a good thing that there are more and more heavy machine guns, which can enhance the firepower of the infantry attack, so the officer decided to increase the number of heavy machine guns, so that these twelve infantry battalions must be equipped with heavy machine guns, as for the specific equipment plan, each infantry battalion should be equipped with two heavy machine guns, and each infantry standard should be equipped with a heavy machine gun team with six heavy machine guns under the jurisdiction to strengthen the infantry's offensive and battlefield defense capabilities." ”

As soon as Wang Bin's words fell, Chen Dongsheng, who was below, immediately said: "What my lord said is indeed good, in the eyes of the department, I am afraid that the officers here know the usefulness of this heavy machine gun, once this heavy machine gun is launched, it is simply a harvester, and it can immediately hit the opponent's head and dare not stick it out." ”

In fact, the issue of the equipment of this heavy machine gun has been raised as early as the establishment of the Beiyang New Army, but at that time it was the Shaozhuang faction below who proposed this installation plan, and Yuan Shikai had no good impression of the heavy machine gun, mainly at that time in Yuan Shikai's opinion, this heavy machine gun was not of any use except for the fast speed of shooting, and there was no spare money to buy a heavy machine gun at that time, and later because the Shaozhuang faction had a louder call for heavy machine guns, Yuan Shikai had to make a look and hurriedly bought a few heavy machine guns.

Yuan Shikai didn't understand the importance of heavy machine guns, but Wang Bin, a person with the soul of later generations, knew the importance of heavy machine guns to infantry, so at the beginning of this era, Wang Bin had been seeking heavy machine guns.

It was not until now that Wang Bin became the commander of a town, which allowed him to expand the ability to install heavy machine guns, so that the number of heavy machine guns increased from the original dozen to the current forty-eight equipped by himself.

Even in order to produce heavy machine guns, Wang Bin had already obtained the relevant technology and patents of the Makqin heavy machine gun from Germany, as well as the production license of the Makqin heavy machine gun in the Jinzhou Arsenal, and after getting what he wanted, Wang Bin also obtained the consent of Yuan Shikai to directly import a series of production lines of the Makqin heavy machine gun from Germany in the name of the Beiyang New Army.

And it is worth mentioning that after the mortar was just produced, before the test firing was carried out, Wang Bin asked Smith to be responsible for the mortar's related patent application as soon as possible.

In this context, Wang Bin also had the courage to expand the heavy machine gun and further strengthen the role of the heavy machine gun.

After talking about the topic of heavy machine guns, Wang Bin suddenly pointed out the names of Chen Dongsheng and Liu Wangchen, and these two people were also a little stunned for the first time after being named, and they didn't know why Wang Bin named him.

So both of them said with some questions: "My lord, what's the matter with the job department?" ”

Wang Bin looked at the two of them with a somewhat uneasy look, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the officer saw an interesting phenomenon on the day of the bandits, when the infantry began to charge, Liu Wangjian, there was a thing in your mortar team that made the officer extremely interested. ”

Wang Bin's words stopped suddenly after saying this, making the officers below who wanted to hear the conclusion feel a little hung and wanted to listen to the following words, but they didn't dare to urge, which was really a very unpleasant feeling, but fortunately, Wang Bin didn't pause for too long.

"The officer found that when the mortar team fired the mortar, it did not fire blindly, but selectively fired the mortar in front of the infantry charge, and this kind of artillery cover is a new tactic in the officer's opinion."

Liu Wangzhen was a little embarrassed after listening to Wang Bin's words: "My lord, the department didn't think so much at the time, originally the department just wanted to fire mortar shells step by step, but at this time the infantry suddenly rushed up, in order to prevent the shells from hitting their own people, the department temporarily changed the trajectory of the shells, so that the shells fired towards the front of the infantry charge. ”

Liu Wangjian's words were full of embarrassment, but he didn't expect that his unintentional move was approved by Wang Bin.

Chen Dongsheng on the side was also a little embarrassed after hearing Wang Bin's words, and at the beginning he thought he was going to be criticized, but he didn't expect to be praised in the end.

And Wang Bin said after raising this point: "Through this crackdown on bandits, the officer found that the tacit understanding between Liu Wangling and Chen Dongsheng when charging before proved a new tactic, this tactic shows a high degree of compatibility between infantry and artillery, after thinking about this tactic called infantry and artillery coordination, if this tactic is used properly, then it will be a big killer weapon when our army attacks, so this officer hopes that the two of you can discuss the situation with each other, and simulate more, The experience of the tactic of infantry artillery coordination is passed on. ”

After listening to Wang Bin's words, Liu Wangzhen and Chen Dongsheng immediately said that they would definitely study this tactic thoroughly and then sum up their experience.

The meeting has come to an end at this point, there is nothing left to talk about, everything that can be summed up in this battle has been summed up, and the points that need to be improved and strengthened have also been mentioned.

After the meeting, Wang Bin silently came to his office and seemed to be thinking about something.

After Wang Bin came to this era, although he did not lead his troops to fight any wars, and even on the surface, Wang Bin did not bring any changes, but the changes that Wang Bin brought to Beiyang were great.

Without the appearance of Wang Bin, heavy machine guns would not have been equipped on a large scale so many years in advance, and even without Wang Bin, mortars and infantry artillery coordination would have appeared many years later.

And it is precisely because of the appearance of Wang Bin that the pace of Beiyang's army expansion has increased a lot, which has greatly improved the speed of Beiyang's training, and even the fifth town itself did not appear during the Russo-Japanese War.

And Wang Bin is the beginning of this series.
