Chapter 789: Drill (2)

"The voice is quieter, let people carry a dozen cannons, and set off an empty cannon!"

Ignoring Wei Huozi's nervousness, Yang Meng continued to test the new army, the speed at which the artillery came up was very fast, and after the air cannon sounded, it had little impact on the soldiers of the new army.

"Yu Biao, bring someone up to interfere with them."

In actual combat, there are far more factors that interfere with the combat effectiveness of soldiers than imagined, and interference has had a certain impact on the new army, but the shooting accuracy of the new army is still maintained.

"Not satisfactory!"

This is Yang Meng's evaluation of Wei Huozi's people, which is somewhat good, if there are winter materials such as gloves and cotton shoes, the impact on the combat effectiveness of the new army will be much smaller.

"Wei Huozi is not effective in governing the army, please punish the third master!"

The drill is just a foreplay, and there are problems that can affect the victory or defeat of the war, and now Wei Huozi also has no previous confidence, and the war is too obscure and difficult to understand.

"It's okay to govern the army, you don't have to be arrogant, these are just small problems, but these small problems, but we can't help but look at them, these problems, even if they don't determine the victory or defeat of the war, will make us pay a very unacceptable price, the big war is imminent, now is the time to find out these problems.

Your men and horses, just from a rifle, you can see how hard you train on a daily basis, but when those ordnance was handed over to you, did the people in the arsenal also ask you to wipe the rifle like a dog?

How can you solve the problem of freezing the bolt? ”

The Dresser equipped by the Forces nouvelles. The biggest difference from Enfield in England. Just front and rear. The reloading undoubtedly improves the reloading speed, but the rear-loading bolt will be restricted by many factors, and freezing is one of them.

Breech-loading guns, after all, are emerging affairs, and the experience of use has not yet been explored as a firearm. In the army, many times, it will not be used according to the design of the use method, many times, it is used in accordance with the habits of the soldiers, and the gun is wiped, for the new army or militia from the people, it is naturally wiped as bright as possible, but without such a thing as grease, the mechanical structure is easy to have problems.

Enfield front. Not affected by the Freeze, once it's time to go head-to-head. It was snowing heavily, and in the process of the troops, the bolt of the gun was easily frozen, although Yang Meng said it lightly, he and Wei Huozi both knew the consequences of this scene on the battlefield.

If it was a large army operation, and the new army suddenly encountered such a problem, it was not impossible that the whole army would be annihilated.

Although the loading speed of the front-loading gun was slow, it was enough to inflict a lot of damage in a very short period of time against the new army, let alone Enfield, even Brown Bes.

Today's big army battles are almost as many people as there are on how many people, and when the two armies face each other, such a problem arises, and the whole army is annihilated, which is not a problem at all.

"Hasn't the third master already figured out a way?"

For Yang Meng's question, Wei Huozi also felt a little puzzled, the bolt of the gun froze, just get the granules and ignite it, there is a way to solve it, this problem is not a problem, the Yunnan New Army's ammunition carrying capacity, I am afraid it is also the world's largest, fifty to one hundred rounds of paper shell bullets, such a carrying amount of ammunition, enough to fight a lively battle.

"Hmmm! The sentry you just now used at least two paper shell bombs, and at most six!

This 10,000 rounds of paper shell bullets, even the work with materials is worth at least 20 taels of silver, according to the current ratio of silver money to huàn, one tael of silver 2,000 yuan, that is, a round of paper shell bullets four yuan of money, although now this big money is not very tough, but these four big money, can still buy six steamed buns, three eggs or half a catty of lean meat, two taels of fat.

Six steamed buns, a strong man can eat a full meal; Three eggs, which can be fried in a dish; Two taels of fatty meat, a person who eats it has a mouth full of oil!

Your 100,000 horses, one person comes to such a point, at least 400,000 yuan! It's enough for an army of 100,000 to have a meal, and this time it's like this, how much do you have to consume ammunition in a year?

With 100,000 rounds of bullets, how many enemies can you kill on the battlefield? This account can't be calculated, and the method just now is just an emergency method, commonly used? I don't have any money! How do you say? ”

The consumption of 100,000 people is quite terrifying, a few hundred taels of silver Yang Meng may not look down on, but one or two taels of silver, almost a month's ration for a common people, two taels of silver and a load of rice, the common people can't afford to eat, most people eat vegetable dumplings, cornmeal nests, in some places, even if it is the New Year, a few hundred taels of silver, maybe in a disaster year, can save the lives of a village!

"Oil!"

"Isn't that knowing?

A penny of plate oil can be wiped dozens of times, wiped once, as long as you don't shoot, this plate of oil can prevent the bolt from being frozen, and the same is true for the scabbard, you are a knife hand, you don't know this truth, right?

Some things are too much, although the army pays attention to the neatness of the army, but sometimes, there is no need to be too serious, now, what we want is the combat effectiveness of the army!

Moreover, this plate of oil is also a good thing, and it is not easy to be frostbitten when it is wiped on the hands and face in winter, and the frostbite cream is not also added with plate oil? Without provisions, this plate of oil is not inedible, one person is equipped with two or two plates of oil, often wipe it on the bolt, hands, and face, and when the war is fought day and night, during this time, you also have to let the men and horses of the new army try to rely on what objects are needed in the field.

After a while, the army will be equipped with gloves cotton shoes hood, this glove has cotton and cloth, with cotton to make a knife, with cloth to be able to shoot, these two layers of gloves, can make the soldier's fingers not wooden, if it is really not adaptable, the two fingers of the glove can be cut off! ”

To solve the problem of the bolt being frozen, it is actually very simple, just smear some plate oil, and now there is no lubricating oil and the like, animal and vegetable oil, which is the best and most important lubrication cover oil.

As for the problem of frozen hands and feet, Yang Meng is already in the process of solving it, and winter is not suitable for war. But the winter went to war. can allow Yang Meng to occupy a certain advantage. This is also a helpless move! He gave his thumb and index finger a demonstration to Wei Huozi, and Yang Meng also grabbed his fur coat and wrapped it around his body.

"Let the Huotou Army boil some ginger soup over there, and go to the cold! Let's see what you're going to do next? ”

Taking off his fur coat and going to shoot on the school field is definitely not a good idea, and now Yang Meng only feels that he is wooden, and it is not a good pleasure to stand in the cold wind.

A month or two after that. It's only getting colder and colder, even with winter supplies, Yang Meng's heart is a little worried, and he pointed out the problem of firearms, I hope Wei Huozi can draw inferences, right? Otherwise, a lot of experience will have to be accumulated by human life.

Freeze the bolt, this is just a trivial matter, and the next drill is a major matter for Yang Meng, and the two armies are fighting. In addition to watching the soldiers, the most important thing is the command of the generals.

"Third master. The territory of the barracks is a little smaller, so I can only give you a rehearsal of hand-to-hand combat between the two armies, I don't know ......"

"Yes!"

It is difficult to use tactics in melee hand-to-hand combat, if it is a cold weapon battle, there may be some formation at all, but firearms warfare, when it comes to the final decision, is hand-to-hand combat, at this time if you want to command the army, it is basically real-time command, there is no reaction time, this is a good test room for the command ability of the general, this test, the test is improvisation, and the command ability of the lower levels of the army.

"My subordinates are going to arrange it?"

"Draw lots! Which mark is caught, five thousand men and horses, and the two armies are in close combat! Give them an hour to prepare. ”

The promise was agreed, but Yang Meng still set a trap for Wei Huozi, and an hour's preparation time was Yang Meng's trap.

The training of 10,000 people was in preparation, Yang Meng also changed into a fat cotton robe in the army, and followed Wei Huozi to appear in the camp where 100,000 people were stationed, and Yang Meng looked at them one by one from the camp tent to the food.

I have to say that the resilience of the people is good, and it is extremely cold in the camp, and in the barracks, no fires are allowed to be lit casually.

"Generally acceptable, pay attention to the epidemic in the army, during this time, each battalion has sent additional military doctors, don't let them be idle, even if the soles of the soldiers' feet are blistered, don't be afraid of being difficult for military doctors, the more patients you see now, the higher the level of military doctors, this is the brother's future life-saving dependence.

Then there is the liquor distributed in the army, which is used to keep out the cold, and no one is allowed to drink too much in the camp!

It's the same with fighting and gambling, I heard that many people have been out of the camp to have fun recently, but can there be such a thing as a camel? ”

Life in the barracks is hard, and having fun in the midst of hardship has become the support of the soldiers, but the army is the army, and there are some things that can be turned a blind eye, but alcoholism, fighting, and gambling are absolutely not allowed.

"Uh...... Third master, his subordinates are not effective in governing the army! ”

"Don't talk about this nonsense, what do we two say, these things can't be hidden from Lao Tzu, this outside fun is not safe, those who are sick, let them pay attention, don't harm people!

As for the rest time in the camp, it should also be distributed according to the distribution, and the army has only one hour of wind protection every day, a hundred thousand troops! Who do you want to kill?

Those slippery soldiers may not be unusable, and it is common for the good and the bad in the army to be incomplete, just teach slowly, and turn a blind eye to some things!

Now, the most important thing for us is the upcoming war, and after this war, we will focus on rectifying military regulations. ”

Being a soldier and taking money to buy his life is the foundation of Yang Mengcheng's army, and it is not impossible to talk about protecting the family and defending the country now, but the appeal of protecting the family and defending the country is still not as good as silver.

It's not that there are hot-blooded men and righteous heroes, but there are really not many such people! The most practical way is to point to the largest number of ordinary people to form an army and form an army by doing business.

The family is not well fed and clothed, and the grandmother, wife, daughter, brothers and sons are on the verge of starvation, who the will fight for you? Even if there is? How much can such an army be organized?

Without a generous pension money, how can the common people be allowed to participate in a huge war that can easily injure tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands?

The courage of blood and gas can only last for a while, the war that Yang Meng expected, the casualties were at least in millions, and the number of dead and wounded on the northward side could be calculated in tens of millions, ruling foreigners, Yang Meng did not have such an idea.

Similarly, if foreigners want to rule here, I'm afraid there is no hope, as long as Yang Meng is here, as long as the Yang family can operate, there is only one slogan for war, and that is to never die!

"Xie Sanye understands, in fact, the people in my battalion who go out to have fun the most, since the beginning of the fight in Tibet, the brothers have not encountered any meat, and this time they are in a hurry to go to Beijing, and many people have no chance to visit their homes.

Now these people want to pick at the hole when they see it, but they can't stop it, so the camel acquiesced before. ”

When the Tibetan border was training, some of them had families, and they had two months off a year, and this time they entered Beijing, just in time for a year when they were not in succession, and the young men were strong, and those who had families knew the taste of the marrow, and in the camp of the new army, they ate much better and practiced a lot, and they were full of warmth and lust. Desire, even if the training is very large, the blood of the new army is still remarkable in this regard.

"Got it! Go out to camp and have fun, you can! But if the men and horses in the camp go out to bring disaster to the good family, do you know what to do? ”

"A thousand knives to establish the might of the army!"

"It's good to know! Our people and horses, although they are not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but these people are composed of ordinary people, and the common people are our foundation, and those who dare to use the guns in their hands to harm the people, Lao Tzu does not care whether he kills people and sets fires, or takes a stitch from others, and the punishment in the army starts with killing heads! No matter how many such people are killed, it is not worth pity! (To be continued......)
