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

Along the way, he received orders from the headquarters several times and successfully completed the mission.

Due to the addition of special operations forces, this time the scout team has the big killer of reconnaissance drones.

This kind of reconnaissance drone with high-definition imaging equipment is different from the general visual firefighting drone. There are no more than three in the whole Ming Dynasty.

This was bought by Zhu Fugui reluctantly, mainly for strategic investigation and special operations.

For such a UAV with beyond-line-of-sight operation and image transmission capabilities, the required civilization value for import is equivalent to 20 ordinary UAVs.

It's like the advanced third-generation fighter jets of later generations. Even a world power like India can only afford one or two hundred combat readiness, and a few have to be dropped every year to avoid too heavy maintenance burden.

Now the national power of Ming Dynasty is far inferior to that of Great India, so naturally it cannot afford too many big killers.

At present, the number of UAVs owned by Ming Dynasty still does not exceed 50, and most of them are in the navy.

After receiving the instructions, Guo Dazhuang, as the acting battalion commander of the tank battalion, immediately commanded the whole battalion to disperse in No. 3 battle formation.

20 Hanqi 01 tanks lined up immediately to attack.

Generally speaking, there are four basic formations of tanks, that is, the horizontal long snake formation, the vertical long snake formation, the genuine font, and the inverted font.

Among them, the authentic font is suitable for short-distance charging, which can exert the firepower of all tanks like a horizontal long snake array, but does not have an excessively large area of ​​bombardment like the latter.

Under Zhu Fugui's guidance (referring to the slideshow), the senior generals of the Ming Dynasty theoretically understood the efficient method of blitzkrieg.

This Southern Expedition is a battle to put theory into practice.

In the face of the defensive positions formed by the Californians and relying on Mount Shasta, the Hanqi Tank Battalion and the Heavy Motor Force completed the tasks of surprise attack, cutting, and disintegrating the enemy.

The elves, improved from the Italian CV29 tank, can shuttle between woodlands and valleys without obstacles by virtue of their size advantage.

Even if they encounter a wide gully, soldiers can easily build a simple wooden bridge to allow the tank, which weighs only 1.7 tons, to pass through.

Even if it accidentally overturns in the tunnel, as long as three or five strong men are enough to push it out of the quagmire.

In short, during the battle, Hanqi 01 gave full play to its small and fast characteristics, and frantically inserted between the enemy's lines at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

However, since it was a blitzkrieg, the word "fast" was naturally required, and the infantry could not fight together.

Losing infantry cover is the most vulnerable moment for the Han cavalry.

In the face of a large number of infantry regiments, the enemy stepped forward bravely in the form of ants, which is very difficult for the Hanqi 01 tank.

Because the only offensive weapon of Hanqi 01 is a six-barreled Gatling machine gun.

If you shoot for a long time, it will cause the barrel to overheat and so on.

Once there is an interval of firepower, the lightweight Hanqi 01 is likely to be overturned by groups of enemies.

Therefore, the targets selected by the headquarters for Hanqi are generally small groups of elite enemy troops.

Guo Dazhuang can say unceremoniously: "I fight the elite!"

Chapter 237 Lone Star Dragoon

In addition to crowd tactics and onboard charge, another major enemy of the Hanqi 01 tank is the cannon.

The 4-9mm armor is easily pierced under the bombardment of heavy artillery above 8 pounds.

However, once it moves, the high mobility of the Hanqi tank will make it extremely difficult for heavy artillery to hit.

On the contrary, it was the shotgun at close range that caused great trouble to the Han riders.

In one of the previous battles, a tank was hit in the side by an approaching shotgun.

Not only was the track damaged, resulting in the loss of combat capability on the spot, but the deputy tanker operating the machine gun was also seriously injured.

This time Guo Dazhuang and their opponents seemed to be much easier to deal with.

It was a troop of dragoons coming from the southwest, flying a great blue banner with a lone silver star on it.

Guo Dazhuang recognized at a glance that this army was definitely not a Californian army, but a militia from Texas, known as the Lone Star.

Texas has always been the state with the strongest desire to secede in the United States.

They have experienced several wars against Mexico, and their folk customs are martial, and their combat effectiveness is far higher than that of other states in the west.

These materials are all recorded in the "Royal Generals Must-Read Atlas". As an acting battalion commander who wants to become a full-time official, Guo Dazhuang knows it by heart.

And he further distinguished that this 700-man cavalry unit was the famous Sharps musketeer dragoons.

It seems that the Texans who admire honorable isolation are also getting involved in West Coast things.

Guo Dazhuang immediately thought of a class on international relations that he had listened to in the weekend training class of the Army Cadre Academy last week.

The class said that since Grant and Sherman became the actual leaders of the Union Army, they adopted the tactics of cutting off the Confederate Army's communication lines and cutting off the southern states, which achieved very good results.

Could it be that these Texans once again had the idea of ​​independence because they were cut off from the transportation with the Richmond government.

And just like Vietnam after independence from French Indochina, it hopes to annex Cambodia and Laos, which were originally French colonies;

India, which became independent from British India, wanted to bring Pakistan, Meng, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and other countries under its rule.

The Texas government may have thought about New Mexico and Arizona, states that originally belonged to Mexico.

Furthermore, California, which has a superior geographical location and a relatively dense population, has also been brought into their vision?

This is the only explanation Guo Dazhuang can think of.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to understand why the Texas militia would come to the West Coast to do things when they were full.

This is the difference between the Ming imperialist revolutionary officers and the traditional feudal officers.

Traditional feudal military officers would not think about these things at all. All they cared about when fighting a war were to draw money and how to preserve their core parts.

The soldiers of Ming Dynasty are different. Not only do they understand why they fight, the officers of Ming Dynasty, even low-level officers, also have perfect political training and pre-war mobilization, and can understand every war from a strategic perspective.

This kind of education and training seems useless except to improve a little morale, but only by being able to understand the strategy of the empire can it better serve the will of the empire.

Otherwise, blindly controlling the army with nationalism, sooner or later, like the Japanese, unnecessary events will occur, and the national interests will be bound by personal will.

Of course, when it comes to this battle, no matter the Californians or the Texans, it is the same for the soldiers of the tank battalion, that is, to completely eliminate them.

Under Guo Dazhuang's command, the tank battalion maintained its formation and swooped down.

When a series of ferocious steel beasts appeared beside the Lone Star Dragoons over the hills, instead of immediately kneeling down to beg for surrender, these stupid red-necked beasts jumped off their horses and started shooting with their beloved Sharps spears.

As it turns out, the Texan's prowess was misplaced.

Sharps is a very classic rifle, originally used to hunt bison, the most important source of meat for Indians, with limited power.

However, after several improvements, the new Sharps M1874 sports rifle became a popular gun, and the Texans carried out extensive assembly.

Its biggest feature is that it can load bullets on its stomach, with excellent accuracy and power, and it can add an optical sight.

It can be said that this is the earliest sniper rifle with sights.

But that's all, it's not an anti-tank sniper rifle.

Crush them!

For the Sharps musketeer dragoons who lack heavy firepower, the roaring Han cavalry tanks are almost an invincible enemy.

The only targets they could kill were shooters hiding behind Gatling gun bunkers.

Compared with the four-tank or three-tank crew of conventional tanks, the Hanqi tank has only two configurations, one for driving and one for shooting.

To hit such an enemy, in addition to precise marksmanship, you also need God's blessing.

This time, the Texans' God seemed to be on his way.

After a burst of gunshots, Han Qi rushed out of the gunpowder smoke.

The tank at the head of the pin-shaped combat unit, the flagship tank driven by Guo Dazhuang, received the most fire.

Guo Dazhuang's deputy, machine gunner Yu Qi'an, was hit by a bullet in his helmet. The preset arc made the bullet ricochet, but nearly half of the kinetic energy still acted on the helmet.

The new Sharps M1874 sporting rifle was said to be able to bring down a cow at 900 yards.

But obviously, either the custom-loaded bullet is inferior, or the arms dealer is bragging.

Yu Qi'an's steel helmet was blown off, and the thinning hair on his head was also bent and bent.

Her beloved hairstyle was messed up, and Yu Qi'an held the six-barreled Gatling crazily to save her.

Being attacked by Han Qi tanks to the present short distance, the situation of the battle has been decided.

After dropping the bodies of more than 500 of their companions, the remaining Texas cowboys dispersed in droves.

In fact, a good horse in Texas can sprint at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. If you choose to get rid of it immediately, the loss will not be so big.

Of course, this is also because there are only 20 Hanqi tanks, which cannot disperse the pursuit.

Otherwise, using an inorganic body to compare endurance with an organic body is bullying.

……

This expedition, from Xinfeng to Xinhu, has a total distance of about 1100 kilometers, which is highly consistent with the distance between Beijing and Shanghai.

Even if the part that can be supplied in Xinlu is removed, the total journey has reached more than 600 kilometers.

This is a comprehensive test for the mechanical performance of various transport vehicles, tanks, and tanks.

The result is still satisfactory.

On the seventh day, the Southern Expedition troops completed the strategic encirclement of the Xinhu area.

At this time, Daming finally encountered the unavoidable scene when the Chinese dynasties conquered barbarians or resisted barbarians.

Chapter 238 Fire

Xinhu, also known as San Francisco and San Francisco, has always been one of the cities with the largest Chinese population in the United States.

The so-called Wuzhou Hongmen lobby entrance is in San Francisco.

Earlier, Zhu Fugui ordered Jin Yiwei to use the silver dollar offensive to buy a group of Hongmen bigwigs, and he used leaflets and dollar bills to print and draw pictures to shout out to ordinary Chinese.

Of course, the purpose of the propaganda is not to make them lie dormant in San Francisco and do the business of setting fire to make money.

Small tricks like this work in a small place like Seattle, but when faced with a behemoth like San Francisco, only real power can tear it apart.

San Francisco was the largest city west of the Mississippi River in Citigroup during this era.

If Shanghai is the Paris of the Far East, then San Francisco is the Shanghai of the West Coast.

"In 1849 the miners came,

In 1851 the whore came too,

When they get it together,

The natives showed up. "

This is the folk song of San Francisco in the 19th century, and it is also the best portrayal of San Francisco in this era.

The gold mine discovered in 1848 and the silver mine discovered in 1859 brought infinite vitality to the original small fishing village.

After 15 years of rapid development, the city now has a population of 27, and its urban construction is not inferior to many important towns in the east. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a metropolis.

What is the concept of a population of 27?

It is larger than the total population of Daming, and more prosperous than Fengdu. It is a colossus that cannot be swallowed by kindness.

Facing such a behemoth, Hu Linyi said, "Using thunderbolts to show the heart of a Bodhisattva" is the only choice.

And those Chinese who traveled across the ocean and settled in this city are, in a sense, the Achilles' heel of Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, Zhu Fugui made a deployment earlier last summer.

Through the infiltration of Jin Yiwei's spies and "White Hound", Zhu Fugui gave them two choices.

[-]. Go north to Ming Dynasty.

Daming will provide all conveniences to help Chinese workers and Hongmen leaders escape north.

In fact, it can’t be called fleeing. During this time period, all the Chinese in San Francisco gathered in Chinatown.

And Chinatown is completely anarchic, without white management, and it is maintained entirely by the power of traditional sects.

This kind of governance is naturally relatively weak, and it is not too difficult to leave with the assistance of Jin Yiwei.

For those returning to the North, Ming Dynasty will directly grant national status and effectively protect their various personal rights.

For those gang leaders who brought back with them, Da Ming will also pay benefits according to the number of heads they bring.
