Still before, in the office where Baotou was discussing the establishment of the government, Feng Yuxiang met Yang Yuanzhao, and the layout of the office was not much different from before, but Feng Yuxiang's appearance at this time was a little different from before.

Feng Yuxiang, as the deputy commander-in-chief, can say that Yang Yuanzhao is just a name, the actual controller of the Baotou army, who has a comprehensive grasp of the army, seems to be a little more stressed, much thinner than before, the more troops, the more things to deal with, unlike the Beiyang Army, Baotou is an army that has been established for less than 3 years, and many things have not formed a system, and they have to be managed by him.

It is precisely because of the short time of establishment that it is helpful for them to absorb newer knowledge, new trenches, the application of artillery, including the use of some gun-aiming balloons, these are the first to be used in Baotou, the effect is very good, Feng Yuxiang has added countless work, but he is also happy in it, he can almost see that the new army in Baotou is expanding and becoming stronger at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye.

"Brother Yuanzhao, how can you be free to come to me today!" Seeing Yang Yuanzhao, Feng Yuxiang's face showed a little smile, put down the things in his hand, and took the initiative to greet him.

Without waiting for Feng Yuxiang to speak, Yang Yuanzhao said directly: "Brother Feng, I'll bring you a sharp weapon!" ”

Feng Yuxiang raised his eyebrows, and asked in some surprise: "Oh, I want to see if I get it, is it a 203mm gun?" ”

"The 203mm gun is still under development, but I'm bringing something else!" Yang Yuanzhao's face darkened slightly, and he said with a little embarrassment.

The 203 mm cannon was also what Yang Yuanzhao said to Feng Yuxiang before. That could be used as one of the army's maximum firepower, but unfortunately it was too heavy, and the 203 mm gun, as the main gun of a 4500-ton cruiser, even on a Navy ship. The power is also very great, but the power of the naval gun, which is brought by the huge weight and the ratio of the tube to the body, is placed on the battleship, and cannot be called the main gun, above the army. It is definitely tough, with a weight of more than 10 tons, so that on land, more can only be stored as a battery, and cannot follow the troops. Movement, the power has been greatly reduced, the reason why the cannon is the king of the army, on the one hand, is the advantage of firepower, on the other hand, is the ability to maneuver, the Ming Dynasty, with a strong red-coated cannon. can only passively defend the city, if there can be infantry artillery of the late Qing powers, I am afraid that the battle situation will be different.

203 mm gun. It is a research institute, a weapons research institute, a key research and development project, but unfortunately the progress is slow, Yang Yuanzhao with the help of the materials of the all-in-one machine, modified it. The weight of the barrel and the whole was reduced, and it also reached 6.5 tons. Such weight, in the Hereafter. Perhaps it can become the supporting firepower of heavy artillery units, and in this era, I am afraid that only on the railway, can withstand it.

Train artillery, which in later generations, a very important support firepower, first appeared in the American Civil War period, with huge power and mobility, became the king of army artillery, with the current railway network in Baotou, it seems that it can be built, but the investment is too large, and there is a certain impact on the railway, there is no need to get it out for the time being.

"What is it?" Yang Yuanzhao's mind flew for a long time, and it wasn't until Feng Yuxiang asked that he reacted, clapped his hands and said, "Let's put things up!" ”

As soon as Yang Yuanzhao clapped his hands, Da Han came in with a strange box, boxy, almost like a big backpack, with a strap in front and a shoulder that can be carried on both shoulders, all of which are made of metal, which looks very weird.

"What is this?" Feng Yuxiang asked with a little surprise, Yang Yuanzhao often came up with some unbelievable things, so that he didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at Feng Yuxiang and said calmly: "This is a radio transceiver!" ”

"Radio?" Even as a soldier, Feng Yuxiang also knows the biggest news in Baotou recently, and even in the barracks, there are loudspeakers and radios, which can let the soldiers relax at a specific time, listen to the news and listen to the play, this is the biggest entertainment time for most people in Baotou at present, his eyes lit up, and he asked solemnly: "That's it, the same thing as the radio!" ”

"That's right, that's it!" Yang Yuanzhao saw Feng Yuxiang and knew it, so he saved a lot of effort, and after simply explaining the effect of this, Feng Yuxiang's face showed a trace of solemnity.

Whether it is a war in the past, or a war now, the fighter is always one of the most important things, as the old saying goes, the military orders outside the country will not be affected, talking about the fighter, only the generals on the front line can know the changes in the fighter, can be free to master, this is more or less, there are some problems, especially the Baotou New Army, mainly the general staff, unless it is the front line of the staff, otherwise, there will be a problem that the fighter is not clear or Xia Liang's order is not very consistent.

Another point is that in the front line, it is also divided into the front line and the middle, the grasp of the fighter, to be precise, the sense of smell of the battlefield, is the pride of every famous general, which is also the key to distinguishing between famous generals and ordinary generals.

From the role of this radio described by Yang Yuanzhao, this radio has become the key to changing this qiē, and the clues in the past, which need to rely on inference, and even gambling to make decisions, now have enough support. If this radio is popularized to the battalion, or even the company, the commander is equal to countless more eyes, and any change in the enemy can be transmitted to the radio and summarized to the command headquarters, or even the rear, so that the situation of one qiē is already clear, and the side that has it can even gain insight into the reality of the other party, and according to the situation of the other party, conduct preliminary research, and defeat the opponent with superior forces, how arbitrary is this, this strange thing, although not as amazing as the 203 mm gun, in a certain way, The role is even above the artillery.

"Great, how many things are there, it's not hard to learn, I'm going to make it popular!" Feng Yuxiang slapped the table and immediately said.

Yang Yuanzhao's purpose was for this, and he hurriedly said: "No problem, this radio station is not difficult, but it is necessary to learn messages and translation, which is somewhat difficult, and it must be specially trained, but it will not be much more difficult than recruit training, but it needs to master a certain amount of knowledge." ”

Hearing Yang Yuanzhao's request for telegraph operators, Feng Yuxiang was silent, the number of such people is too small, and they are basically used as key training, such as squad leaders, and even the pre-selection of future company platoon commanders.

Like other citizens in Baotou, in the army, the same attention is paid to the education of cultural courses, especially non-commissioned officers and above, ordinary platoon-level officers, mastering more than 500 words of commonly used men is a hard condition, to the company or above, there is a certain staff experience, proficient in the ability to customize a map and command operations, this is a hard ability, although Feng Yuxiang worked hard to cultivate, but the effect is not significant.

Hearing Feng Yuxiang's answer, Yang Yuanzhao was slightly surprised, it seems that these days, only caring about development and expansion, without taking this into account, at the beginning of the expansion of the 54 Mixed Formation Association, a certain Cheng dù is fully summarized, from Beiyang's hands, almost got more than 500 grassroots officers, from the shed to the team, almost everything, can directly expand the foundation of a town, you know, Beiyang is only 7 towns, it is uneven, can be invited by Feng Yuxiang, all of them are of the same level, It is precisely because of the adequacy of these key officers that the combat effectiveness of the 54 Mixed Association has not weakened much under the situation of substantial expansion.

The initial expansion laid the foundation of the new army in Baotou, in the past two years, Feng Yuxiang is also working hard, but the effect is not very good, it seems that the military academy should also be put on the agenda, Feng Yuxiang is a qualified general and officer, but not a qualified military instructor, is it to continue to work hard, to find the well-known one in the future, in the past few years, through the relationship between Guò German and American foreign companies, he found him, and also funded some funds, but the direct invitation, but was refused, because he still has to study in Germany, Really figure out the difference between the armies of the East and the West.

With a sigh, Yang Yuanzhao looked at Feng Yuxiang and said solemnly: "Brother Feng, how big is the role of this radio station, you should know, let's get together, even if it can't be popularized, it should be popularized to the battalion, so that the number of people is smaller, we will carry out a series of training in the next period of time, I believe, there will be quite good results."

Feng Yuxiang also knew, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll try to get some out." At present, Baotou has an establishment of 4 divisions, 12 regiments, and close to 60 battalions, and under such circumstances, it may be very difficult to transfer 200 people, and 60 people are relatively easy. ”

"By the way, Brother Feng, artillery also needs to be specially trained, and you can see the personnel, as many as possible."

"Artillery!" Feng Yuxiang was stunned, he didn't understand the reason, and asked with some confusion: "The radio is not used by the command system, what does it have to do with artillery?"

Yes, Yang Yuanzhao said calmly, looking at Feng Yuxiang's surprised appearance, it is obvious that Feng Yuxiang has not seen the importance of radio to the troops, and the radio thing, in addition to combining the troops into a whole, the rest is to improve the coordination of infantry and artillery. In the First World War, there was a breakthrough in the heavy dà is the coordination of infantry and artillery, well-trained soldiers, can follow the barrage of shells, to launch an attack on the fortified position, the impact is strong, the sacrifice is relatively small, has become the main way to attack the fortifications in later generations, but such a fortification, a certain process dù above, the danger is relatively large, not specially trained, it is difficult to achieve, but with the help of artillery support, in the weak situation, to hold the position, is also an aspect, the promotion effect is immediate.
