Chapter 227: The Firearms Regiment is formed
After the trial production of firearms was completed, production began according to the assembly line. The first batch of firearms was made one pound, which was a battalion of flying thunder cannons, a battalion of tiger squat cannons, and a battalion of swarm rockets. The next step is to find the people who use these firearms, so that the firearms regiment can be formed.
"Su Dingfang, you are now the acting chief of staff, you can organize the manpower and transfer some clever soldiers and more than a hundred scholars of the four disciplines to me." Li Junxian said.
"Okay!"
It didn't take long for more than 100 scholars of the four disciplines and about 2,000 soldiers to come, and those scholars had already made great progress in their physical fitness after a period of training. As for whether it can be used, it depends on how well they train next.
"Next, you're going to join a special unit called the Firearms Regiment. This unit uses firearms, a very powerful suppressive firearm, and you can even say that you are the core of our special guard force. Li Junxian said.
The soldiers were happy to hear that they were the heart of the Special Guard. Because this means that they can become the most important person of the Lord, of course they are happy.
"Those who have learned from the four disciplines, you will become the first officers of this firearms regiment. However, the so-called officer position is also temporary, and if he is not able to make any achievements, he will also be removed. We're just focusing on competence here, not about background. Do you understand? Li Junxian shouted loudly.
"Got it!" The reader and the soldier shouted together.
After this period of training, the scholar reluctantly accepted his fate. During this time, they said they had no thought of escaping. But the result of escaping was to hang up and beat them in public, leaving no face for these scholars. Some so-called scholars are not afraid of death. But I'm afraid I won't have face! Now Li Junxian stripped them naked in public and hung them up, but he killed them. They are all honest, they don't dare to say anything they want to leave, and they train actively.
"Okay, I'll show you how to use this firearm." Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian personally loaded the gunpowder of the flying thunder cannon, but Li Junxian used fixed gunpowder, that is, gunpowder wrapped in sackcloth every time. The weight of gunpowder was the same for each shell. This reduces logistical pressure and also accelerates the frequency of artillery fire.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and smoke and dust billowed in the distance.
The scholars and soldiers were fooled by the situation. It was the first time they had seen this powerful firearm, and it was astonishing. The scholars and soldiers were wondering what would happen if they were hit by this firearm nearby. Fear. They've all been blown up, right?
"Alright. Next, you follow the instructions of the gunpowder workers and start using these cannons. Li Junxian said.
"What? Are we going to use artillery too? ”
The news made everyone completely explode, because they were very afraid of this artillery. They were very afraid that the cannon would explode on the spot, that is, it would explode. However, Li Junxian understood very well, because many artillerymen had this idea of mediocrity at the beginning, so they did not dare to use artillery. In the end, they were all forced to use by those veterans, and they will be familiar with it after a long time.
"You guys, come over and use the artillery. Rest assured. It's not going to blow up. Li Junxian said.
But none of the scholars nor the soldiers came, as if they were very afraid of the artillery.
"Come here!" Li Junxian shouted.
But those who read the book were a little hesitant. Don't dare to come over.
"General Li, I'll come!" A reader said.
Li Junxian asked, "What's your name?" ”
"General Li, my name is Yang Wu!" The scholar named Yang Wu said.
Li Junxian nodded and said, "Okay, with your courage, you will temporarily act as the head of this firearms regiment." ”
Everyone else was a little speechless, and they were the first to be the head of the regiment, which made everyone regret it. Next, a few more came out, but Li Junxian did not let them hold any official positions, so they were not disappointed. The first one to eat crabs is the best, and Yang Wu has earned it.
"You guys start taking your time! There's no need to rush! Li Junxian said.
Yang Wu and the few soldiers who came out came over to the flying thunder cannon one after another, set up the flying thunder cannon, and then used the cannon under the guidance of the gunpowder worker. It didn't take long for them to preliminarily practic.
"Boom!"
This time, it was the flying thunder cannon made by those who had just come out, and it turned out to be a big explosion in the distance.
"Hooray!" "Long live Datang!" "Long live Datang!"
Yang Wu jumped up with the few scholars, because they had already successfully fired the cannon.
The remaining scholars and soldiers found that there was nothing wrong with Yang Wu, and there were people who continued to join this process of "firing guns". And Li Junxian is planning to play this artillery slowly for them in the past few days, and then select candidates to operate different firearms.
The constant sound of firearms ...... "boom, boom, boom" shook the entire valley.
"It's fun!" "It's so much fun!" "It's like setting off a large firecracker!" "This firecracker is fun!" ……
The soldiers of the firearms regiment began to fire their cannons, and they also adapted to the gameplay of this firearm, as if they were setting off a huge firecracker. They found that it wasn't that difficult, it was actually quite simple. However, Li Junxian knew that there was still a certain distance for them to be proficient in specific training.
"Look, this is the protractor, you aim at the notch on the barrel of the gun, and then put the protractor on the ground. You look at the notch there, and then aim the notch at the degree on the protractor, so you can estimate the distance of the shot.
In order to make better use of artillery, Li Junxian not only wrapped the gunpowder in a customized cloth bag, so as to avoid the inconvenience of the soldiers with bulk gunpowder. And the protractors are all out in advance, which can help the soldiers get familiar with the artillery as soon as possible. With the invention of these two things, as long as it is clear how far a cannon of different degrees can shoot, it is not a big problem.
Then these artillerymen began to fire their guns, and with the result that their shots were very easy to grasp under the measurement of protractors and fixed gunpowder. As long as they give a bombardment distance in advance, then they can find the corresponding angle and bombard it directly. This method is actually a method of using artillery that has been advanced countless times more. (To be continued......)
