Any change in tactics will bring about a revolution in the battlefield situation, after the Feng army is equipped with machine guns on a large scale, it has an absolute advantage over the cavalry, but the same Feng army's own cavalry has also become chicken, because the opponent can also learn this method, threatening the cavalry of the Feng army, after all, the Feng army can not only think about dealing with weak opponents, but also think about those strong enemies.

In fact, this kind of offensive and defensive new weapons have appeared in Europe, that is, armored vehicles, and tanks that are about to appear on the battlefield, these steel monsters will completely end the glory of the cavalry, but it is a pity that the Feng army does not have the capital to play armored liliang now, so it can only use its brains on the existing basis.

Zhang Tinglan has been thinking about ways to deal with it after several battles against the cavalry, and the main mobile liliang of the Feng army for the time being is still the cavalry, and if he wants to give his cavalry an overwhelming advantage, he must increase the firepower of the cavalry.

But if you want to put a machine gun weighing dozens of pounds on top of the war horse, I am afraid that even if it is a red rabbit horse, it will have to lie on the nest. However, as long as you use your brain, there will be a way, and then Zhang Tinglan thought of the carriage, since the Han Dynasty, when the Central Plains Dynasty fought against the nomads, it had already used chariots on a large scale, relying on the power of the chariot formation, to resist the powerful impact of the cavalry.

This new type of chariot was quickly manufactured, unlike those defensive predecessors in history, the main ability is to attack, and placing a heavy machine gun on the carriage has become the first choice, a Maxim heavy machine gun 27.2 kg, even with a large amount of ammunition and shooters are within the range that the war horse can bear.

In fact, the original of this kind of thing is the Russians, in the Russian Civil War, the Soviet Russian army mounted machine guns on ordinary four-wheeled carriages, and the war horses provided the machine guns with strong mobility and could move positions at any time.

This tank was not responsible, and it was quickly figured out. Each vehicle needs to be operated by three people, one driver and one machine gunner, for a total of ammunition operators. In addition, it was loaded with 3,000 rounds of ammunition to ensure a strong firepower output. Of course, in order for this kind of combat vehicle to be effective, there are also corresponding protection troops and logistics vehicles, and they must learn to cooperate with each other.

Like tanks, each vehicle is accompanied by twenty cavalrymen, who protect the chariot from enemy attacks. There are also a certain number of spare vehicles that transport ammunition and repair equipment in normal times, and these spare vehicles have to be replaced if they are damaged.

After Zhang Tinglan got the chariot out, he demonstrated it to his father Zhang Zuoxiang. Zhang Zuoxiang fought with Mongolian bandits many times in his early years, and he was very familiar with cavalry combat. Now after looking at this chariot. Immediately felt that this was a good thing to change the traditional cavalry tactics, the firepower was strong, and if it was against the Mongolian bandits, it would definitely be a slaughter.

And these vehicles can also be used when camping, providing good cover for soldiers. Zhang Zuo was very interested in this kind of chariot, and immediately asked Zhang Tinglan to build more chariots. First, realize the chariot of the cavalry of the garrison division.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that in a short period of time, the Feng army would not be able to make an armored liliang, and this kind of chariot would be the most powerful attack liliang for the time being. Therefore, a lot of effort has been put in.

However, in order to make this kind of combat vehicle effective, it is not easy at first sight, first of all, in order to prevent shooting at the zama pulling the cart in front, it is necessary to aim the muzzle of the gun and shoot at the back, so that it can only play a role when the opponent charges.

In addition, shooting accurately while running is also a super difficult thing, and almost no one can do it, so you can only control the speed of the car during the firefight, in short, there are many things that need to be practiced.

In addition to equipping the car with a heavy machine gun, he also discussed with Xiong Mengyuan, suggesting that he imitate the Japanese grenadier canisters, and also try to produce some mortars, which are relatively light weapons that can also be used to maneuver in vehicles. In addition, the Japanese 41 mountain cannon could also be assigned to the cavalry

Because this kind of mountain artillery is relatively light and can also be maneuverable on the battlefield, after arriving at the predetermined position, the mountain artillery is unloaded to provide fire cover for the cavalry, so that the cavalry's firepower can be greatly improved

This thing may not be effective against Japan and Tsarist Russia, but it is enough to deal with the surrounding small warlords, especially the Mongolian and northwestern cavalry.

Of course, so far, the number of chariots is still very limited, not how high the cost is, mainly because the training is too difficult, this time Zhang Zuoxiang brought a total of twenty chariots to the north, just to compete with the Ji army, shiyan how this new weapon is.

In fact, this time both sides set up a formation to lure the enemy, both sides were holding back to destroy each other, when the cavalry of the Ji army appeared in the field of vision, three Fengjun chariots also appeared, the distance between them and the opponent was getting shorter and shorter, and they were already able to look at each other from a distance.

The cavalry of the Feng army suddenly turned en masse and put on the fleeing jiashi, and the Ji army suddenly came to the spirit and thought that the opponent was cowardly, so they launched a frenzied charge, and gradually the distance between the two armies was shortening, and at this time, the three strange carriages of the Feng army suddenly showed their hideous faces.

First of all, the speed of the carriage slowed down, becoming more and more stable, and then three tongues of fire shot out from the carriage, sweeping through the cavalry of the Ji army, and more than a dozen cavalry were swept in an instant.

The people behind also felt bad, but the huge inertia prevented them from stopping quickly, so they could only continue to rush forward, and as a result, they were all hit by head-on bullets, and the ground was full of broken corpses and stains of blood.

It was also the first time that the Feng army used this tactic, and when they saw that the effect was amazing, they were ecstatic, and the speed of the chariot became slower and slower, so Zuihou simply stopped, so that he could aim at the opponent more quickly.

The Ji army also stopped the war horse at this time, they are not fools, the other party used this method, so they would not go to death. Therefore, these Ji troops fled one after another, but they could not run if they wanted to, the cavalry of the Feng army had long been prepared, and as soon as they saw that the opponent was defeated, they immediately launched a pursuit, and no one would let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and soon dozens of Ji soldiers were eliminated.

Gao Shifu had been waiting for the news of the elimination of the opponent, but there was no news, he had to personally take a battalion out to check, at this time, he saw that the cavalry of the Ji army was killed in a mess, and less than half of them could come back alive.

He was immediately furious. Gao Shifu has always been a proud guy, and he has put a lot of effort into the cavalry, and now when he sees that he was bullied by the Feng army, he was completely furious, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly let his subordinates rush forward.

The Ji army launched a charge, and the Feng army had already noticed, and they wisely collected the war horses, and then turned around and ran. For fear that the speed would be slow, Gao Shiwei was even more disdainful when he saw this, the opponent was a bunch of cowards, and as a result, his subordinates were still chased by them and ran around, which was simply too embarrassing. After he packed up these Fengjun cavalry and went back. I must teach those who are not angry a good lesson.

It turned out that his soldiers chased him out not far away. I noticed three carriages, these three carriages were very tacit, and aimed their butts at them, can the carriage still outrun the cavalry, so the gang pursued even more crazy.

When the distance gets closer and closer, the old thing repeats itself again. A storm of bullets came at them, and the soldiers who rushed the hardest were hit head-on, and all of them were killed, and the whole cavalry was killed. Their speed slowed down, and so did the opposing chariots.

The machine gun spewed tongues of fire, still harvesting lives, and it was only then that these later Ji soldiers knew that their brothers would flee in embarrassment, and it turned out that Feng Jun had come up with such a despicable thing.

At this time, Gao Shifu also figured out what was going on, but the price was a little too great, he had lost nearly 200 cavalry, and what was even more embarrassing was that the Feng army only lost five people, and the disparity in exchange made Gao Shifu jump like thunder, he hurriedly let his cavalry divide into two teams, and inserted them from the flank, avoiding the direct fire of the Feng army.

It is clear that Gao Shifu found the biggest weakness of the chariot, that is, the number is too small, as long as the attack is launched from all angles, the Feng army cannot take care of each other. The soldiers of the Ji army pursued more and more fiercely, and the Feng army was not a fool, at least five or six times as many as himself, and he also put on a desperate jiashi, if he didn't run quickly, he would be a complete fool.

The Feng army also fled for their lives, but the Ji army was a new force after all, and the speed was much faster than that of the Feng army, and the distance between the two sides was constantly shortening. At this moment, a black figure appeared again on the field, and a large force of cavalry of the Feng army also appeared.

There are more than a dozen cars approaching this side, and when the distance is almost over, these vehicles are very tacitly turned, leaving the ass to the Ji army, seeing here the Ji army does not dare to pursue anymore, people only sent three carriages to let them lose their armor, and now there are more than a dozen, if you dare to chase down, it is not looking for death.

Therefore, the Ji army all fled back frantically regardless of everything, because they were in too much of a hurry to escape, a few horses even injured their legs when they turned sharply, and these unlucky cavalrymen who lost their horses all became prisoners of the Feng army.

Seeing that the Ji army was defeated like a mountain, the Feng army was chasing closely behind, and the chariots were all following unhurriedly, if the Ji army dared to fight back, we would continue to play like this. At this moment, Gao Shiwei also sobered up, and he didn't want to compensate all his subordinates, so he hugged his head and ran for his life in the city.

"Division commander, this chariot is really good, with this thing, we can only attack the opponent, the other party doesn't want to fight back, the clumsy brain is flexible." Sun Anhu accompanied Zhang Zuoxiang early to observe the effect of the chariot, and now he was very happy when he saw that the Ji army had been killed and fled.

"That's right, it's very effective, but Tinglan also told me that this thing is already backward, the Westerners have developed an iron chariot, and our carriage can only fire at the back, and we have to retreat and attack at the same time. People's chariots are equipped with machine guns and cannons in front, which can fire when attacking, and there is a thick layer of iron armor on the outside, which is both offensive and defensive, that is a veritable chariot, and we don't have enough things to see! ”

Gao Shiwei led his subordinates to flee all the way back to Siping, and he couldn't hold out, and the two armies were originally a confrontation between scouts, but as a result, more and more troops were involved, and the two sides were tantamount to tearing their faces.

Zhang Zuoxiang was not a good gentleman either, he immediately issued a telegram, saying that the Feng army was harassed by Gao Shifu's department in the process of suppressing the bandits, and five Feng army cavalry were killed, and demanded that the Ji army must give the Feng army daoqian, and if there was no response within twelve hours, the Feng army would attack.

After the telegram was sent, Zhang Zuoxiang led his subordinates to approach Siping and began to build various fortifications, and the black muzzle of the cannon was already pointed at the Ji army in the city.

Gao Shifu, this guy had just suffered a defeat, and now he was killed at the door again, he was also furious, directly tore up the Feng army's electricity, and then ordered the Ji army to prepare for battle to deal with the attack of the Feng army.

After the time limit passed, the artillery of the Feng army began to roar, and the cannonballs in the sky smashed towards the city wall, and Gao Shifu's subordinates also encountered such a powerful artillery bombardment for the first time, and all the soldiers held their heads tremblingly, for fear that a shell would fall on their hungry heads.

In this kind of siege warfare, the chariot did not play a role, Zhang Zuoxiang secretly ordered that Sun Anhu lead his troops to go around the back of Siping, block Gao Shifu's escape route, and prepare to deal a fatal blow to the most powerful cavalry of the Ji army. (To be continued......)
