I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

"what happened?"

Xiong Hei jumped off Zhao Xizhu's body and walked carefully to the enemy's shells.

The jet-black iron lump in front of him was sinking shallowly into the soil with a trace of heat.

Although I know it's not possible, at least I shouldn't...

But Xiong Hei still stretched out one foot and kicked it with a little force, the iron bump immediately rolled up, and Zhao Xizhu followed suit, kicking it two meters away.

"Solid bullet!"

"This group of white gangsters actually use solid bullets, they look down on us!"

Xiong Hei was furious all of a sudden, jumped up and shouted, "For Your Majesty, for the sake of Concubine Yin, give me a hard bang! Damn Xipi!"

Chapter 188 General, Our Cannon Can Hit Foreign Devils!

The design of [Eagle 001 field gun] refers to the British Armstrong gun at the end of the 64th century, but it is limited by the technology, and the caliber is only [-]mm.

When it comes to the Armstrong cannon, many people may not have much impression of it. It is not as influential as the famous Krupp cannon in China, nor is it as famous as the "Armstrong cyclotron jet Armstrong cannon" in a certain Japanese manga.

The German-made Krupp gun, which was heavily equipped by the Beiyang Army, can be said to be the ancestor of German blowing, and it will always be a god in the novels of the late Qing Dynasty.

But in fact, the Armstrong cannon and it were also bright for a while. Even Li Hongzhang actually wanted the Armstrong cannon more. Ammunition, Armstrong "has no ammunition" situation.

When a name is mentioned, everyone will understand it more and more.

That is 【Yoshino】.

Chinese people who have a little understanding of the history of the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-] will not be unfamiliar with this name. This is an unforgettable painful memory of a generation. The scene where the "Zhiyuan" launched a suicide charge against the "Yoshino" will never be remembered The world forgets.

At the same time, when discussing the reason why "Yoshino" was able to defeat the larger tonnage "Dingyuan", in addition to the reason of faster speed, there is another point that is often mentioned, that is, the "Yoshino" Although the caliber of the naval gun is not as good as that of the "Dingyuan", it has a faster rate of fire and a longer range.

The naval guns equipped on the "Yoshino" were British-made Armstrong guns, while the naval guns on the "Dingyuan" were German-made Krupp guns.

This is the first direct confrontation between these two cannons, which have been entangled for half a century, after the technology of retracting cannons has gradually matured. Therefore, the Sino-Japanese naval battle also attracted the attention of many Western warships to test the performance of the two weapons.

Facts have proved that the Armstrong gun's terrifying rate of fire of up to 7 rounds per minute and a range of more than 8000 meters suppressed the old Krupp gun at that time.

[Eagle 001 field gun] Due to the use of later SKD61 steel, the performance of the gun barrel is better than that of the Armstrong gun in the 1890s.

However, because the breech block used is essentially a professional and incomplete counterpart [Exquisite Craftsmanship and Infinity Yashide Standard Cylinder], the caliber is restricted, and the range is far from the level of 30 years later.

However, [Exquisite Craftsmanship and Powerful Yashide Standard Cylinder] is a post-generation craft after all, and it also has its own advantages, that is, it has excellent stability, and the ballistic deviation is extremely small after continuous shooting.

After the standardized training of the artillery, especially the improvement of the geometry and mathematics ability of individual soldiers, most artillery groups in the Ming Dynasty can now complete 9 rounds per minute, and the ballistic trajectory and impact point remain basically unchanged.

In contrast, the [M1857 12-pound field gun] of the Oregon National Guard, although the caliber is as high as 121 mm, is almost twice that of the [Eagle 001 field gun], and the number of cannons is four times that of the cannon. short board.

The rate of fire is only 2-4 rounds per minute, and the range is only 1500 meters. In order to hit farther, we can only use solid bullets instead of explosive bullets...

All in all, it was an asymmetric bombardment.

In Daming’s artillery company, a veteran stood silently beside the [Improved Red Cannon], watching [Eagle 001] firing at the enemy’s Napoleon cannon.

With his gray beard and sideburns, he looked at least 50 years old.

Of course, because people in this era generally age quickly, this middle-aged man named Bao Tie'an is actually only 46 years old.

But this is considered an advanced age in the ranks of the Ming army.

The reason why he was exceptionally recruited into the army and became an artillery soldier with a higher salary than ordinary soldiers was because Bao Tie'an had been shooting artillery all his life, and he was a rare combat talent in the Ming Dynasty.

Although he doesn't know much about mathematics, let alone trigonometric functions, in the Ming Dynasty, if he knows how to use the red cannon best, no one can say that he is better than Bao Tie'an.

That's right, this veteran was born in the artillery of the Green Battalion, and 22 years ago, he followed the Jiangnan admiral Chen Huacheng in a bloody battle against the British invaders on the Wusong Fort.

In that battle, the British attacked Wusong Fortress with all their strength, with more than 67 large and small ships and more than [-] troops. Supervisor.

However, the powerful naval artillery of the British army quickly destroyed the shore artillery position of Wusong Fortress, and then swarmed to land.

Not only did the Qing army have to use spear guns and shotguns to shoot at the British foreign guns, but they also had far fewer numbers than the enemy, and their combat tactics were far inferior.

Old General Chen vowed not to retreat, was shot seven times, and died together with Wei Yinfu, the guard of the Tibiao Zhongbattalion and others.

……

Listening to the sound of cannons rumbling beside his ears, Bao Tie'an lightly stroked the cold cannon in red, feeling dazed for a moment, as if he was dreaming back to the noon when the cannons were raging 22 years ago, and the Pao Zemen sounded in his ears again. Shouts of panic, and the helpless and tragic roar of the old general.

However, the offensive and defensive momentum is different today!

It was Daming, and it was the Chinese artillery that suppressed the enemy's artillery.

Under the roar of [Eagle 001], the enemy's artillery formation collapsed, just like our own side back then.

It turns out that those Europeans are just like us, they can be torn apart with one shot, leaving no bones left!

"General Chen, have you seen it? Our artillery...can hit the devils! It can hit the devils! This time...this time it's the foreign devils' artillery!"

Two drops of muddy tears slipped from Bao Tie'an's old cheeks and dripped on the dark body of the gun.

Bao Tie'an patted the cannon in red beside him, and whispered softly with tears in his smile: "Old man, let's cross the river in a while, we have to fight to kill a few more foreign devils, so old bones like us will be of use in the future." It's getting less and less!"

Watching the young artillerymen proficiently use measuring tools to measure the angle of the shelling, and then the compound rapid-fire cannon showed a powerful firepower coverage,

Bao Tie'an knew very well that he, like the refurbished red cannon, was an old soldier of the previous era, and the future of Huaxia belonged to these great young people.

As for myself, perhaps I should enroll in a cultural advanced class after retiring from the army. For the rest of my life, I will record all the stories in the Songjiang Fortress and the future Ming Dynasty, so that future generations will not forget all this.

……

The shelling lasted 10 minutes.

The Oregon National Guard had all its artillery destroyed and suffered heavy attrition.

This is because, in addition to the gunner, a [M1857 12-pound field gun] also requires many auxiliary personnel to support it.

Compared with [Eagle 001], which has an advanced retreating gun mount, all types of Napoleon guns have another fatal flaw, that is, they only have a simple pitch device and no direction adjustment device.

When it is necessary to change the shooting direction, it can only be solved by moving the gun mount.

For a gun that weighs nearly half a ton, this is definitely not an easy job, so the artillerymen often ask the officers of the infantry team they assist to send some people to help them do things such as moving the gun carriage to change the direction of fire and pushing the gun. The hard work of resetting.

But this time, except for a few of these infantry helpers who decided to sell their teammates when they saw a bad opportunity, all of them became corpses in the shrapnel opened by the ammonium nitrate explosives.

Chapter 189 Crossing the River and Strike

All the guns on the Oregon National Guard positions were destroyed before they could retreat, but at least 20 of their guns were saved before they could pull down the river bank.

At this time, the officers of the National Guard also reacted, and did not foolishly continue to use refueling tactics to lose combat effectiveness in vain.

They took the initiative to retreat the cannons and soldiers in line, hoping to wait until the Ming troops crossed the river before attacking.

Several refitted armed ships are also ready to block the channel at any time.

The Portlander's abacus was very good, and he hit halfway, and he got all his achievements in one battle.

However, what they didn't expect was that the "Indians" even had warships!

When the "Yangzhou" and "Zhenjiang" whimpered with black smoke and went upstream from the mouth of the sea, the people of Portland were in despair.

Zhu Fugui named Portland New Qingdao at that time, which now seems reckless.

Unlike Qingdao, which is directly on the coast, Portland is actually not along the coast, but along the river, and it is more than 100 kilometers away from the real mouth of the sea.

However, Portland is indeed an excellent port in the Northwest of the United States after Seattle in later generations, because the New Yellow River along it is as strong as the Yangtze River, and sea-going ships of tens of thousands of tons can sail directly to Portland Port. .

According to legend, the medical ships that can kill the epidemic with a flick of the finger of Midi, one of which is the "Mercy" is moored here.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic last year, it "tested a small knife" and found that it was a fruit knife to test Carnotaurus Saxonyx, and it has been directly withdrawn to Portland for "routine maintenance".

Of course, in Portland in the 1860s, the waterway had not been dredged, and it might not be possible for large ships of tens of thousands of tons to pass, but such a monster could not be found in the Pacific Ocean in this era.

The "Yangzhou" and "Zhenjiang" with a total combat weight of no more than 1000 tons sailed into the New Yellow River unimpeded.

In war, the joint operations of various services are always a headache.

Due to the current geographical location of Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that in the future, sea power will be greater than land power, but both will pay equal attention to the military system.

But at this stage, except for the first naval battle between Ming and Russia, the Daming Navy is basically regarded as an appendage of the army.

This is the inertia left over by the Chinese nation for thousands of years from the mainland civilization.

But in fact, if you calculate carefully, plus the 12 "rich-class" transport ships, the total assets of the navy have exceeded that of the army.

It’s just that not many people are aware of this. Although Morishita has already realized it, he knows that his status as a noble “Yunnan native” is not yet consolidated, and he dare not compete with the army chiefs.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no conjugation phenomenon in which the navy and the army were red deer.

As warships, the Yang and Zhen ships must be regarded as little guys, but when they arrived in the inner river, they seemed to be a tyrant.

Take advantage of the riverboat shootout with Portland.

Instead, they retreated more than one kilometer, and the only remaining 20 12-pound Napoleons of the National Guard hit the waters near the second ship Yang and Zhen one after another.

Even the starboard side of the unlucky Zhenjiang ship was hit by a small explosion.

This time the enemy obviously changed the ammunition, and there was no need to increase the range. This time they fired more powerful explosive bombs.

This is a spherical shell weighing 4.3 kilograms, which is filled with about 900 grams of black explosives. After the explosion, it usually produces no less than 20 large fragments, which are detonated by a typical time fuze.

It was this kind of primitive black powder bomb that penetrated the armor of the Zhenjiang ship by its own weight. This is enough to show that ironclad ships of this era are also very unreliable, and their strength is comparable to that of civilian ships of later generations.

The Zhenjiang ship caught fire, and the captain Morishita immediately organized the sailors to rescue themselves, and at the same time accepted the cover of the Yangzhou ship, and the situation seemed a little critical for a while.

That's why Zhu Fugui didn't let the naval warships enter the river at first.

The confrontation between naval guns and shore guns is always a disadvantage, not to mention that the main guns of the second ship Yang and Zhen are only 120 mm, which is the same as the enemy's field guns.

Even if the drone team on the second ship has already been dispatched.

Since ten drone operators headed by Jane Proud are carrying out the task of blood transfusion Hong Xiuquan, each of the two ships has only 5 drones.

These operators obviously did not have Jian Ziqiang's skills, and they failed to eliminate the enemy shooter after several rounds of output, which caused the Zhenjiang ship to be injured.

However, although it was said that the enemy's cannon was not blown up immediately, the nitroglycerin fire extinguishing bomb that fell from the sky also shocked the National Guard soldiers.

They did not continue shelling while the Zhenjiang ship was injured and its mobility was greatly reduced. They missed the great opportunity to complete the first kill on the Daming Navy.

Due to the deep draft of sea-going ships, the Zhenjiang ship did not dare to deviate from the center channel and move closer to the north bank so as not to run aground.

Therefore, Qi Wenchang decisively issued an order for the assault boat to cross the river.

The enemy's riverboats on the river have been sunk or driven away, and the artillery array on the south bank has also been destroyed. There are only a line of soldiers fighting wits with drones farther away and a small amount of artillery.

Under such conditions, the time for assault boats to land on the beach is ripe.

The third brigade of the first division is a division of hundreds of battles with a glorious heritage, and their training and assessment results have long been among the best.

In order to cope with frequent landing operations in the future, the 1rd Brigade has strengthened its landing training, and the 3rd Battalion of the [-]st Regiment is the best among them.

In addition to them, the first division, the first brigade, the third regiment and the third battalion are the most professional pontoon bridge erection engineering units in the armored forces.

The two units were led by Mo Bai, the commander of the third brigade, and Mao Yong, the commander of the third battalion of the first brigade, third regiment and third battalion. The latter obeyed the command of the former and covered the crossing of the river together.

Being able to command troops across direct subordinate relationships is an important symbol of a strong army and a public army.

Of course, the complete separation of command power and training power will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty, but a limited separation is still necessary.

Soon, nearly 400 [Fishing Special for Anglers, Brother Bu Air Force Wear-Resistant Thickened Assault Boat Rubber Boat] launched, bypassed the central island, and headed straight for the south bank.

This "extra-thick pirate package for 4 people" is 90 yuan more expensive than the general "simple package", and the price has reached 408 yuan.

But there is an extra pair of aluminum alloy oars, two life jackets, and some small items, which are very cost-effective.

The rubber boat has a load capacity of 400kg. Considering safety, only three fighters are arranged on each boat, two for paddling and one for shooting.

Of course, there are only two soldiers on some ships, and the extra load is used to load the materials for building simple pontoon bridges.

As long as the simple pontoon bridge is built, the infantry can pass through, seize the position, and then it will be much easier to slowly build a complex pontoon bridge that can pass vehicles.

Chapter 190 Victory

The beach landing battle went well.

The enemy's artillery fire has limited damage to the small assault boat in motion, and it is almost impossible to hit it directly.

But after all, it is not a professional military assault boat. The stability of this kind of kayak used by my brother for fishing can only be said to be average.

After all, there are no crocodiles in domestic waters, and giant snail greens and other powerful monsters are by no means the prey that my brother can catch, and they will basically not overturn.

However, when the shells hit the water, and the faster water speed of the New Yellow River itself formed a small-scale turbulence, causing about 20 assault boats to capsize.
