Chapter 562
Qin Shi Huang toured the east to "Jieshi", carved "Jieshi Gate Speech", and sent Yan Lu Sheng into the sea to seek immortals, once stationed here, so it was named Qinhuangdao.
Li Xiao took a long breath of the salty sea breeze, and the unique taste of the sea reminded him of the difficulties of starting a business on Phi Dao. Qinhuangdao is famous for its delicate beaches and clear water.
Blue sky, white clouds, sandy beaches, blue waves! A warm sea breeze blows across the sea, carrying a salty smell to the land. The sea, with its waves, crashed against the reef on the shore, sending out countless white sprays. If there were a few more bikini beauties, it would be even more perfect.
Pity!
There are no bikini beauties on the beach, but thousands of tanned men.
These are the soldiers of the Marine Corps, in order to form the Marine Corps. Li Xiu personally went to Meihekou, and he didn't know what method he used, so he pulled out his teeth in Ao Ye's mouth, and asked for more than 100 squad leaders.
With these squad leaders, Li Xiu got 200 graduating cadets from Mao Wenlong, plus the 500 marines he had originally accompanied the ship. With these people as the skeleton, in less than a year, the skeleton of the Marine Corps was supported.
The Marine Corps is now organized into the first regiment and the second regiment, with Li Dingguo and Zuo Liangyu as the commanders respectively.
Li Dingguo is Shi Kefa's confidant and favorite general, and Zuo Liangyu was picked up by Hong Chengchou. Both of these people are considered rebels, and usually it is good to be a division commander of a garrison division. They also didn't expect that they would still be able to stay in the front-line combat units.
They are all killed talents who are used to killing on the battlefield, and they know that going to the garrison division may be very nourishing, but this is the end of their careers in this life. Maybe one day the military department will be happy and dismiss this garrison division, and what awaits them is to go home and pick up the children.
Front-line combat units are different, as long as the battle is fought well, promotion is a sure thing. Don't look at the fact that there are only five division commanders in the field division, but everyone knows that these five division commanders are all overlords. mixed with the commander of the second division, Yuan Chonghuan, and grasped the military and political affairs in Fujian, and he was a king of Fujian and Zhejiang. That's how majestic it is, how majestic it is. is also the division commander, and the division commander of the garrison division is in front of them, and he can only nod his head and carry his shoes.
Not to mention, the boss of the Marine Corps is Li Xiu, the younger brother of the marshal. Now there are faintly people who privately call Li Xiu the second marshal, but more people are still used to calling Li Xiu the second master.
With such a big head, no one is afraid that their military exploits will be greedy, nor will they be afraid that they will not have a position in the future.
The pie finally fell from the sky, it was still beef filling, and it was fucking smashed right on his head.
As generals, Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo feel that in their previous lives, they must have saved the galaxy to be so lucky.
is still the second master with a big face, who doesn't know that the commander of the first division, Ao Canghai Aoye, is an iron door bolt. The fence of his own house is firmly pierced. If you want to get someone out from under him, it makes no difference if you eat it from your stomach.
As soon as the second master came forward, Ao Ye directly pulled away more than a hundred.
Cadets of the Shanhaiguan Army Military Academy, who do not know that it is a sought-after commodity. Seven or eight hundred people graduated in one year, and the second master walked through Shanhaiguan and directly brought back 200 students. I heard that if it weren't for Mao Wenlong's hard pleading, maybe even the instructors would have dug up a hundred and ten.
As soon as the shelves here were erected, the marshal came to inspect them in person. Whose army can have this kind of glory?
In order to be able to show off in front of the handsome, Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo used their strength to eat. What grappling fighting, shooting training, and even the latest practice subjects of beach-grabbing and landing, also took out and showed off in the name of military exercises.
The waves were rolling, and groups of soldiers charged to the shore in small boats. At the front of the dinghy, machine guns are mounted with the latest weapons.
This is Zhao Shizhen's latest high-tech products, the whole gun uses the bullet chain to feed the bullet, the use of gunpowder gas energy as the power, through a set of organs to open the chamber, the bolt continues to recoil the empty cartridge case out and throw it out of the gun, and then drive the bullet supply mechanism to compress the re-entry spring, under the action of the spring force, the bolt pushes the bullet into place, and fires again.
Of course, as a cross-era product, there are still unsatisfactory points.
First of all, the machine gun is too bulky, because the material of the barrel is not up to standard, if you use a six-barrel barrel, you will be finished with a hundred and ten barrels. Zhao Shizhen is smart enough, he actually made such a freak reach a rate of fire of 180 rounds per minute by adding the number of barrels. Although this rate of fire is not worth mentioning in the face of the MG42's rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, it is still very impressive in this era.
There are 30 barrels and bullet chains together, which is more than 300 catties. Due to its sheer weight, it can only be installed on a ship, or in a fixed stronghold such as a city wall. Rao is like this, and the troops are also rushing to ask for it.
Ao Ye loaded the machine gun on the carriage and dragged it away by two horses. When fighting, it is also necessary to turn the carriage in a circle in order to meet the shooting requirements. Li Xiao persuaded Ao Ye that the carriage was carrying such a heavy thing. In Liaodong, where the roads are smooth, you can still move freely. But when they reached the grassland, the two horses couldn't pull it at all.
"Then Lao Tzu will carry this thing to the ox cart." Ao Canghai said a word, Li Xiao was out of line. The carriage can't be pulled, but the ox cart is estimated to be able to pull it. Unfortunately, the maneuverability of the ox cart is a big problem.
In addition to the first division of Ao Canghai, there are only marines left, because they have an innate advantage in equipping this bulky and abnormal turn-tube machine gun.
The three machine guns lined up in a row can indeed play a good suppressive role. The dummy made of straw turned into a pile of weeds in an instant under the rain of bullets. Li Xiao had no doubt that if a person was standing here, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the bullets fired wildly.
In front of the machine gun there was a steel plate one centimeter thick, which served as a bulletproof plate. At long distances, the firecrackers may not be able to shoot through. Not to mention, the primitive weapons of the aborigines, such as blowpipes and bows and arrows.
Li Xiao felt that with these few machine guns alone, it was estimated that the goal of conquering the whole of Southeast Asia could be achieved.
The soldiers jumped into the water from both sides, wading through chest-deep water with their guns held high, and made their way to the shore with difficulty. As soon as they walked onto the beach, those artillery squads carrying mortars began to build mortar positions.
The infantry stood on either side of the mortar, their guns spewing smoke. The target on the opposite side was littered with debris.
Li Xiao found that the infantry had to carry two mortar shells on their backs. So that at the beginning of the landing, at least twenty-four shells per mortar would be available. With these twelve shells, they were able to survive the difficult few minutes in the early days of the landing.
Because the subsequent marines will land one after another, the mortar shells will also be brought to the mortars by the soldiers in a steady stream.
I have to say, it's a very good idea, and I don't know who came up with it.
The tactics of the infantry wing mortar, Li Xiao was also very satisfied. After all, in this year, there are no long-range howitzers. Even if the English and Dutch would make flowering shells, howitzers and other anti-natural things have not yet been drummed up.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and naturally the monkeys are the kings. The Infantry's Best Friend Mortar, now plays the role of the infantry's main fire output. As long as a squad of soldiers surrounds the mortar, then a round of shells will accurately hit the enemy's head.
In the binoculars, Li Xiao saw with his own eyes that a shell exploded under the target. The shattered target was lifted more than a foot high, and countless shrapnel were smashed into a sieve on it.
Although all kinds of artillery have developed rapidly due to Li Xiao's leadership, the rate of fire of mortars is still unmatched.
The mortars quickly set the opposite side into a sea of fire, and the infantrymen, armed with rifles loaded with bayonets, began to charge with shouts. When he seized the red flag on the top of the mountain, Li Dingguo was so excited that he beat his chest and howled in pain like a gorilla.
"The tactics are good, with mortars as the core. No matter how large the number of people on the other side is, it is estimated that there will not be many people left under machine-gun fire and mortar shelling. Li Xiao put down the binoculars in his hand and affirmed Li Xiu's training during this time.
"Actually, these are redundant, as long as the guns on my ship are fired, everything on the beach is not an obstacle." Seeing the ironclad ships under construction, Li Xiu became a staunch supporter of the theory of big ships and giant guns.
In order to convince Li Xiu, the old fisherman specially converted the original five-masted ship into a large arsenal ship that Li Xiu wanted.
Each arsenal ship was equipped with two 72-barrel heavy rocket launchers and two 36-barrel light rocket launchers, one on each side of the ship. After the single launch of the rocket launcher on one side, the arsenal ship can quickly turn the bow of the ship and strike the land with the rocket on the other side.
With five of these fire-breathing monsters, Li Xiu's fleet could carry out a slaughter-like saturation bombardment of the enemy on the shore before landing. Whether it's the English, or the Dutch. If it is shelled like this, it will fall apart in an instant.
"Although the arsenal ship is good, have you thought about it? With such a launch, the consumption of ammunition is staggering. Are you sure that just the rockets carried on board will be enough to cope with the complications of a landing war? ”
"This ......!" Li Xiu was stunned, Li Xiao was right. Even if the caliber of rocket artillery shells is large, but without shells, the arsenal ship is a mobile target at sea.
"You've traveled thousands of miles into the South China Sea, and you need more than just ammunition. There was also coal, water, food, and all sorts of supplies. It doesn't work just to carry it on board. You'll also need large general supply ships, which are larger than Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, and can hold the fuel, water, and ammunition you need for several months.
If you have three of these ships in your fleet, I can assure you that you will not have an opponent until you reach the edge of the day. Li Xiao confidently educates his younger brother.
"That's right! One is resupplyed, and the other two are rotated with the team. This way, we will never have to worry about running out of supplies available. Li Xiu jumped up all of a sudden, happy like a child.
Li Xiao pouted helplessly, no matter what, the second master Li Xiu and Li in front of him were just a young man who had just turned twenty-one years old.
"I'm going to find the old fisher and ask him to make me this kind of comprehensive ......!"
"Integrated Supply Ship!" Li Xiao reluctantly reminded him.
"Okay, let's go to Changxing Island and let the fisherman help me build it." Big brother, you can help me with this funding. In this way, the cost of building an ocean-going fleet will rise indefinitely. If you don't equip me with ......! ”
"Yo he! Dare to threaten your eldest brother, tell me, who did you learn from? Li Xiao kicked Li Xiu angrily, of course, Li Xiao didn't kick hard, but just touched Li Xiu's buttocks.
"How dare I, it's just that this action involves the lives of thousands of brothers, and I don't dare not pay attention to it."
"There are ironclad ships, arsenal ships, and the latest comprehensive supply ships on the agenda, looking at the world, who is still my Li Xiu's opponent. If we can't keep the South China Sea peaceful, then the front of our Chinese front is Hainan Island. I, Li Xiu, don't want to be this sinner for the ages! Li Xiu said confidently.
"!"
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, not understanding that his eldest brother would suddenly have convulsions.
"Put down what arsenal ships and what large integrated supply ships you have in your head. Now all you have to do is go home and make a child with Miss Zheng.
Look at you, there are no children until now. Look at Huzi again, other people's concubines are pregnant again. There's not a hint of movement here, what's going on.
Set up a rule for you today, if your younger siblings can't give birth to a child one day, you won't be allowed to get on the boat for one day," In order to let Li Xiu pass on the incense, Li Xiao made a big move that he had been holding back for a long time.
"What......?" Li Xiu's eyes widened to the size of cow's egg. I haven't heard of it, Li Xiao would care about this kind of thing. Do you have any children, what is the matter with Brother Guan.
"What are you heading, your father and mother are gone. I am now the patriarch of the Li family, and your knees are not prosperous, shouldn't I, the patriarch, care? Today, you will go back to Shanhaiguan for me, when will you make the belly of the eldest lady of the Zheng family bigger, and when will you take care of your fleet again. Li Xiao gave Li Xiu a death order.
"Big brother, you don't need to do this. Now is the most intense time for training, how can I go home and have a baby? During the Li period, Ai Ai looked at Li Xiao, and kept kicking the pebbles under his feet.
"You're a soldier, and I'm a marshal now. Soldiers, obedience is their duty. It's an order, do it! Li Xiao turned around and walked over to Li Dingguo and Zuo Liangyu, who had been waiting in the distance, without looking back.
"No!" Although he was reluctant in his heart, Li Xiu still straightened his waist and straightened upright.
"See the big handsome!"
"See the big handsome!"
Seeing Li Xiao coming over, Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Now that you are under the tent of the Liao army, your prostrations are exempted. When the Liao army meets, there are no such big rules. Just salute each other! Li Xiao and Yan Yue waved their hands at the two, signaling Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo to be exempt.
"No!"
