Chapter 36 The Divine Artillery Division and the Flying Feather Army 1 Supplement 4
Soon after Bai Hui's order was issued, the various departments in the Beihai in the Flying Fish Pass took action one after another and entered their respective combat areas. The North Sea army stationed in the Crescent River Valley region numbered 200,000. In addition, in Songshan, north of the Crescent River Valley, the 81st Army of the Menglan Army is also stationed, which can support the Crescent Valley battlefield at any time. As mentioned earlier, the Beihai Army only needs to hold the section of the Flying Fish Pass-Tsim Sha Pass, which is a horn of each other, to ensure the security of the entire river valley area. In order to hold the Crescent River Valley, the deployment of the Northern Navy was as follows: the deputy commander of the Menglan Legion, the ice general Bai Hui personally sat in Feiyu Pass, under the jurisdiction of the Eleventh Army, the Thirty-third Army, the Thirty-seventh Army, the Divine Artillery Division and the Flying Feather Army, the sharpshooter unit of the Menglan Legion, with a total strength of 110,000 troops. At Tsim Sha Pass, three other armies were stationed, namely the New Fifth Army, the New 30th Army and the New 58th Army. These three armies were all new armies that were expanded before the war of the Beihai Kingdom, adopting the tradition of using the old to lead the new, and were led by the commander of the new Fifth Army, Peng Dingfang. In the event of a critical situation at Feiyuguan, Patten needs to be ready to provide forward support at any time.
Regarding the deployment of the Northern Navy, I have long heard of Subutai and Chahe Buhua. It is conceivable that once the head-on attack is made, the Flying Fish Pass will not be as broken as Suizhou. It's just that Subutai only detected that the Menglan Legion had deployed more than 100,000 troops in Feiyu Pass, but he didn't know the specific situation of its artillery division and Feiyu Army.
The Divine Artillery Division is a mysterious unit of the Beihai Kingdom, which is directly under the direct command of the three major army corps, and ordinary military-level units have no right to transfer. Everyone knows that the Beihai Kingdom has three major legions, namely Mulan, Beihai and Menglan Legion. And this artillery division also has three branches, which belong to the major armies. The reason why the artillery division is called the artillery is because the mission of this unit is to be responsible for making black-clad artillery with a wooden door to provide long-range fire support for the operations of the Northern Navy. However, generally speaking, until the critical moment of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, the artillery division will not easily go to the front line to participate in the battle. The muzzle caliber of the black-coated artillery of the wooden door is about five feet, and the weight of each shell is eighty catties, which requires the cooperation of five wrestlers to complete all the preparations of a cannon from loading to firing. And each black-clothed cannon is equipped with twenty people, and each artillery division has five hundred such black-clothed cannons. As for the power of the black-clothed cannon, Mumen and the Beihai Kingdom have always kept it a secret, so no one knows what its true lethality is. But one thing is certain, since the Ice God Baishi has deployed this divine artillery division under the Flying Fish Pass, he is obviously ready to hold on for a long time, and he must also be very confident in the power of the black-clothed cannon.
However, the blackcoat cannon has a lot of flaws, and there are two places where it is the most deadly. One is the scarcity of shells. The shells of this black-coated cannon are expensive and complex, and the wooden door can make about 1,000 pieces a year. What's more, the Tianyun Continent has been peaceful for a long time, and no one usually has the idle egg to create such a thing that costs the people and money. It wasn't until thirty years ago, after the North Sea Kingdom and the Chengtian Empire were at war in Mulan County, that the North Sea Kingdom resumed producing such shells. At present, each black-coated cannon is equipped with only five shells, and if it is finished, it means that it will not be replenished for a while. The second disadvantage is that after each black-coated cannon is fired, it needs half an hour to cool down before it can be re-fired. Therefore, although Bai Hui would like to see the spectacular scene of five hundred black-clothed cannons firing at the same time, even if he agrees, the Ice Master of the Divine Artillery Division will not agree. For the commander of the artillery division, this is not artillery, this is money!
Therefore, the use of black-coated cannons must be ordered according to the changes in the situation on the battlefield. Now, the five hundred black-clothed cannons of the Divine Artillery Division are set up in the rear mountain position of Flying Fish Mountain, and the black muzzles of the guns seem so calm, no one would have thought that they are about to set off a storm of death.
ps: I worked an extra day yesterday, and this week I'm getting busy again, and I've run out of manuscripts. When I got up in the morning, I saw that the ranking was continuously blown up, and at this time Lyra was organizing firepower to charge back, and I hope everyone will also provide more support, and I am grateful.
