137 Time travel
Looking at the various strange weapons exchanged from the rebels, Wang Jue suddenly had a feeling that he had traveled to the ancient battlefield. He saw www.biquge.info armor that had been riddled with bullets, and all kinds of large shields covered with iron plates and fur cotton that had been shattered by machine guns.
"Armor?" Wang Jue saw those curved iron plates that had been forged into the shape of ****, and the back was lined with animal skins and cotton, with an unpleasant smell of oil stains soaked in sweat, and he couldn't help frowning.
"That's right! Armor! These Manchus all have the same 'money rat tail' hairstyle as 200 years ago, and they look very disgusting. The officer in charge of introducing these strange "earthen tanks" saw Wang Jue's disgust, and pointed to some things captured from the battlefield and continued to introduce them.
In order to fight as quickly as possible, these Jin Guo pigtail soldiers improved the heavy shield, on the one hand, they used various materials to superimpose to achieve a similar effect to composite armor, and on the other hand, they also made this heavy shield into an umbrella-like style - they were no longer used by one person, but were carried by their comrades in the back row......
Coupled with the thick iron armor on their chests, these Jin soldiers relied on these ancient armor to get as close as possible to the enemy in the trenches, and then the soldiers in the back row, armed with guns and cold weapons, jumped out of formation to attack. They worked together to realize the ideal of hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons in the era of rifles, but this ideal was not as rosy as imagined.
Under normal circumstances, under the cover of one's own riflemen, coupled with factors such as deterrence and the opponent's unstable foothold, this kind of hand-to-hand combat in the trench with cold weapons is very effective. In order to attack the fortifications, the Ming army also organized a heavy armor army, and the heavy armor and shields used were also strange, and even maces and meteor hammers were installed.
"Hah!" When Wang Jue walked in front of a giant shield that was hit by a 20 mm caliber machine gun with two oversized holes the size of a basin, he was pleasantly surprised to find that under this shield, two small wheels were added in order to save physical strength.
These pigtailed soldiers, who were full of people, took advantage of the fact that the heavy machine guns and other firepower did not gain a firm foothold, and suddenly attacked in the trenches, which would indeed cause trouble for the Ming army. After all, a large number of ordinary soldiers of the Ming army, who relied on rifles and bayonets, could not take advantage of hand-to-hand combat with a single bullet in front of such an ancient army.
Compared to the strange shields, the armor is a bit simple. The armor was made of steel plates, padded with the leather and cotton wool of various animals, and it was absolutely uncomfortable to wear even a strong pigtail army.
Some of the heavy armor in front of Wang Jue had bullet holes, and the introducer said that some were pierced by rifles at close range, and some were pierced by machine guns at long distances. Before the tanks could rush up and push back the pigtails, they suffered losses under the attack of individual light fire.
"In fact, the effect of protection is not as good as imagined, which is why the heavy armored army of our Ming Empire has not expanded, but is gradually declining." The officer pointed to a few holes in a set of armor and introduced to Wang Jue: "As long as the infantry can hit these people, they can often penetrate the armor, but the riflemen are afraid of panic and can't keep aiming and firing again." ”
"However, with such armor in front, the ordinary soldiers of the Jin Kingdom in the back can shoot and fire more calmly, cooperate with this group of desperate guys, and cover each other and wreak havoc in the trenches." Wang Jue touched the cold armor with his hand, opened his mouth with a hint of disdain, and said sarcastically: "In the end, what we thought of was to use engines instead of manpower, and the rebels, a group of barbarians, could only use this stupid method. ”
In addition to these armor, Wang Jue also saw all kinds of strange guns and weapons in the materials of the firefight. Among them, there is a pistol with a butt and an extended barrel, which is somewhat similar to the submachine gun equipped by the Ming army: relying on the advantage of being able to fire continuously, it is used to shoot at each other with the Ming army without armor at the normal combat distance.
Wang Jue didn't have much interest in the rest of the things, such as the various long knives that were neatly arranged, which seemed out of place compared to the advanced firearms used throughout the era. There are also some striking weapons such as hammers and hammers with long handles, which can destroy steel helmets and have a lethal effect.
In addition, there are some short spears and the like, which are very suitable for cold weapons used in trench warfare, Wang Jue even felt that he walked into the war museum set up by the Emperor of the Apocalypse in Beijing 200 years ago, and saw some broken copper and iron from the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty and even from the Nurhachi era.
Soon, when the armored vehicles of the cars and tanks formed an assault force, they could break through the enemy's defense line at once, and then launch a continuous assault, so that the fortifications and defenses could not be redeployed and constructed. At that time, there will be no room for these old and obsolete things, and then war will become real art, not bloody and cruel in the mud.
"Choose a few things that are eye-catching, as well as the jewelry on the seized people, and I will bring them back to the capital to show Your Majesty fresh." Wang Jue put a long knife that looked quite good back into a row of weapons, looked at the strips of cloth wrapped around the hilt, and some patterns and decorations inlaid with carvings on it, and opened his mouth to the officer in charge of guarding and analyzing these weapons.
"Yes! Commander! The military flags full of yellow flags, the command knives of the commander of the pigtailed army, some well-preserved and beautiful swords, and some pistols and spears and other weapons are all ready for you. The officer smiled and reported to Wang Jue: "There are also 54 military flags of various rebels captured by our new army from Liuhe all the way to the Troop Mobilization Mountain!" ”
Wang Jue nodded, walked to the door with satisfaction, ended this visit like time and space, and walked to the door and got into the car that was assigned not long ago. He had always felt that all the cars should be allocated to the soldiers on the front line, but as the scale of the new 1st Army continued to expand, his prestige as a commander became higher and higher, and then riding war horses made his subordinates a little embarrassed.
Therefore, Wang Jue and Wang Jianjun, as well as Guo Xing and Wang Yan, were all assigned their own cars, which made the entire world's most advanced and avant-garde New Army Group Army command finally have a hint of change. (To be continued.) )
