Blue sky, white clouds, golden sand beach......

It's still so beautiful. ydzw

Suddenly, it seems to have returned to the feeling when I first came here, in this era without pollution, every qiē is so beautiful.

It's just that when Pang Yu straightened his legs and touched the shiny bronze cannon next to him, his mood had to return to reality. He was now lying on the aft deck of the Qionghai, next to the straw mat, with a 1857-style 12-pounder bronze smoothbore gun—a replica, of course.

In this operation, although all the intelligence said that the target was empty, the military team was still ready to fight a tough battle. In the past, when preparing the Zuò battle plan, the biggest problem they encountered was the lack of troops.

Their current troop strength situation is in a situation of "insufficient offense and more than enough defense"; a company of more than 100 people, plus artillery assistance, has no problem guarding Lingao, but if it is to be used to attack the capital city, it is inevitable that they will encounter the embarrassment of "sending fewer troops will not be enough, and sending more troops will leave the old nest empty."

The number of troops was insufficient, so it had to be compensated for with high mobility. In the end, after discussion, everyone decided to attack by sea, and the battle should be shortened as much as possible, so as to avoid the main base being in a state of emptiness for a long time.

The newly processed oil is enough for the Qionghai to make another short round-trip voyage, Wang Haiyang and Xie Xi will lead the second and third infantry platoons as the main force of the attack, and the two artillery groups led by Ma Qianshan and Lin Shenhe will also all go into battle, plus the northern latitude reconnaissance brigade that has been dispatched for a long time, it can be said that the elite is exhausted, and I believe that even if there is any resistance from the Qiongzhou Mansion, it will be crushed lightly.

It was only after the state capital was defeated and the situation was stabilized, the second platoon and the artillery team would return to Lingao, and only one infantry platoon would be placed on this side to defend. Pang Yu will also remain in charge of the situation -- "whoever advocates will implement", and his ideas are always not good for others to take risks. It can only be done by yourself. Of course, the dismissal of the third platoon commander, as the initiator of the offensive plan, is also a matter of course to accompany him.

The artillery brigade did not accompany the attack this time for purely military purposes, they still had only two gun crews, but they had three guns on board. The equipment is luxurious.

It's just that the two oxygen cylinder mortars are not the main force this time, although those two guns were carried onto the ship along with the shells. But the task of the artillery crew this time was mainly to test the newly cast 12-pounder bronze cannon. It is still using the technology of the mid-nineteenth century, the structure is simple, the practicality is strong, the power is not bad, it can fire flowering or solid cannonballs, and it is suitable for siege field warfare. \\23hh.cc\\

Originally, Lin Shenhe wanted to cast this kind of artillery a long time ago. He said that he had cast physical objects by hand when he was in the United States. Experienced. But because the steel team got out of the subway water quality has never met the requirements. This ambitious plan has never been implemented.

Until this time, a number of Western cannons were captured. Shen Yanai finally got his long-cherished wish - to use the captured bronze cannon as a material. Huang Jiancheng led people to try to cast such a mountain howitzer commonly used during the Civil War. Engineer Xu helped get the cannonballs. The mechanical team helped with the gun carriage roulette and other accessories. In the test firing table xiàn was not bad. But how powerful is it. It also needs to be battle-tested.

"If we go the way, we can recast all the old bronze cannons. Enough to build an artillery battery. ”

Lin Shenhe looked forward to the day when the land came. Although there is only one lonely 33 bronze cannon in front of him. But he seemed to have reached the point where he stood tall with his head held high. With a wave of his arm, countless cannon muzzles rang out behind him. The land is full of flames......

That's what war is called! Even with the most advanced rifles of the era. But Shen Yanai always believes in it. Artillery remains the true god of war.

Compared to Lin Shenhedi's excitement. The first gunner, Ma Qianshan, was much calmer. At this time, he was checking the shell allocation against a record sheet.

"No. 1 high-explosive bomb, No. 2 solid bomb, No. 3 incendiary bomb...... Hey? Pang Yu, there is a No. 4 bullet on the record sheet. But why didn't I get there? ”

Pang Yu walked over to the zz record sheet and smiled:

"This record sheet is ahead of its time, and the No. 4 bomb is only a preliminary concept at present, and it has not yet been made in real life."

Ma Qianshan frowned:

"What kind of bomb is that, and what is it for?"

Artillery is important, but the shells that are fired are the key to determining the final lethality, and engineer Xu Hui played a great role in this Q. Depending on the purpose, he configured the 12-pounder gun with a variety of shells. In addition to the high-explosive flowering shells that are generally used to kill and injure group enemies, some solid metal shells in the shape of a spherical or cylindrical cone, are also prepared. It is used to destroy city walls or gates. and the formation of ricocheting projectiles on hard ground to strike enemy clusters with a large depth of the queue.

In addition, there are incendiary bombs that proved to be extremely effective in the last naval battle. Finally, a version of the cannon was fired, which was designed to deal with wooden boats or burn enemy camps.

In addition to these three main uses, the weapon team did also conceive the No. 4 shell, but this shell was not designed by Xu Hui, but was intended by Li Jingcheng, Wu Kun and others...... Pang Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to talk to Lao Ma about it.

"The original structure of the No. 4 bomb was conceived as a hollow porcelain jar filled with liquid chlorine, and then dropped on the enemy's position to break through the ......"

"It turned out to be a chemical bomb, is it necessary, our firepower is strong enough."

Ma Qianshan was a little unimpressed, and Pang Yu also shrugged:

"Everyone felt that it was unnecessary, so the chemistry group only came up with a preliminary idea, and there were many problems in manufacturing, storage, launch, and many other aspects. XCMG also refused to do research in this area, and the current research on this bomb type is completely stagnant...... However, it is possible to consider getting some tear gas in the future. ”

Old Horse QQ Head:

"Well, got it...... You're busy, I'll continue. ”

Pang Yu smiled, turned his head and walked to the front deck, which was full of people at this time. For the first time, many of the local recruits were allowed to board the big iron ship, leaning against the railing and shouting excitedly. It's not that these seaside residents have never been on a boat before, but it is obviously the first time they have experienced such a smooth sailing on the sea.

Lao Slipper and a group of other people who were the first to take refuge in them, and the "old team members" who had already been on the ship before were very disdainful of Xinding's cousin, and most of them sat calmly on the straw mats in the cabin, and did not go to the sea scenery outside, and were still busy practicing disassembling and maintaining their firearms.

"Easy to disassemble, easy to maintain and repair" is also one of the design features of the Qionghai rifle, using the flat bayonet and those gadgets attached to the scabbard, most of the accessories can be quickly removed or installed for easy maintenance or replacement.

In the Ming Dynasty army, soldiers were not allowed to touch firearms, and even if they were destined to be issued to them on the battlefield, they would be locked in warehouses in normal times. Soldiers rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with them, let alone familiarize themselves with or maintain them, but on the side of the military group, it is the opposite - Tang Jian told these soldiers from the beginning that the musket is just a tool, and the key to victory lies in the person who uses it.

Be sure to check the condition of the barrel after continuous firing, and oil the whole gun at least once a day...... And so on, these concepts are implemented in every training. Every soldier is required to be absolutely familiar with his or her weapon, and firearms training is not just about shooting, but also about daily maintenance and simple repairs.

Now most of the recruits are already basically familiar with this firearm, where the barrel is prone to wear out, and where the fragments of paper shells tend to accumulate...... If you know it, you won't panic on the battlefield, and it's easier to maintain the highest rate of fire. In the unlikely event that a weapon is damaged, it can be troubled in the shortest possible time and the fight can continue.

And the backbone forces such as the old slippery head have a further pursuit - they have already begun to compete who can complete the disassembly and assembly of weapons in the shortest possible time. At this time, they were practicing assembling weapons on the deck of a rocking ship.

"These recruits are very motivated, they can train such a unit in more than two months, Captain Tang and they are really gods."

Walking to the back cabin, a group of officers gathered here. For Pang Yu's praise, Wang Haiyang just smiled faintly:

"It's nothing more than the way we used to train new recruits...... It's easier than training our own people, at least we won't chirp crookedly when we beat them. ”

Hu Kai, who had been appointed as the squad leader next to him, instinctively shrank his neck when he heard this, Wang Hai was straightforward, and he often liked to use his hands more than his mouth in training.

"I said, Brother Pang, you are really sure...... When the time comes, only one row control zhì will be used to control the entire Qiongzhou Mansion? ”

Hu Kai is usually very bold, but now he shows a trace of fear, he is now the squad leader of the second squad of the third platoon, and he belongs to the platoon of dismissal, and he will stay with him when the time comes.

Pang Yuzz him:

"What, scared?"

Hu Kai is very straightforward:

"Yes, there are too few people in our land."

After a moment of silence, Pang Yu smiled at him:

"Don't worry, I'm also very afraid of death, so I will never take unnecessary risks."

The next Xie also laughed:

"I'm afraid of a bird, the three platoons are now all equipped with new guns, and if you really want to get into trouble, you can always hold it for a day or two. The ship's high-power radio will also be left to us, and if there is danger, call the base for rescue, and the Qionghai will come over to support very quickly. ”

A group of people were giggling, and Ling Ning hurried over from the cockpit, his face stern:

"Come out, we seem to be in trouble!"
