Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 209 Chariot Soldiers of the New Era

Any change in tactics will bring about a revolution in the battlefield situation. After the Fengjun is equipped with machine guns on a large scale, it has an absolute advantage over the cavalry. However, the Fengjun's own cavalry has also become weak, because the opponent can also learn this The method is to threaten the cavalry of Fengjun. After all, Fengjun can't just think about dealing with weak opponents, but also think about those powerful enemies.

In fact, this new type of offensive and defensive weapons has already appeared in Europe, that is, armored vehicles, and tanks that will soon appear on the battlefield. These steel monsters will completely end the glory of the cavalry, but it is a pity that the Fengjun does not have the capital to play armor. You can only use your brains on the existing basis.

After several encounters with the cavalry, Zhang Tinglan has been thinking about how to deal with it. For the time being, the main mobile force of the Feng army is still the cavalry. 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 tens of kilograms on a war horse, even a red rabbit horse will have to lie down.But as long as you use your brain, there will be a way, and then Zhang Tinglan thought of the carriage. Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has used chariots on a large scale when fighting against the nomads. Relying on the power of the chariot formation, they can resist the powerful impact of cavalry. force.

This new type of chariot was quickly manufactured. Unlike the defense-oriented predecessors in history, the main ability is to attack. Putting a heavy machine gun on the carriage has become the first choice. A Maxim heavy machine gun weighs 27.2 kg. In addition, a large amount of ammunition and shooters are also within the range that the horse can bear.

In fact, the original of this kind of thing is the Russians. During the Russian Civil War, the Soviet Russian army installed machine guns on ordinary four-wheeled carriages. The horses provided powerful mobility for the machine guns and could shift positions at any time.

This kind of chariot is not responsible, and it was quickly made out.Each car needs three people to operate, a driver, a machine gunner, a total of bombers.In addition, [-] rounds of ammunition are installed to ensure a strong firepower output.Of course, in order for this kind of tank to be effective, it must be equipped with corresponding protection forces and logistics vehicles, and they must learn to cooperate with each other.

Just like a tank, each vehicle is equipped with [-] cavalry to protect the safety of the tank and prevent the enemy from attacking.There are also a certain number of spare vehicles, which usually transport bullets and maintenance tools. Once the chariot is damaged, these spare vehicles will have to be replenished.

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

Moreover, these vehicles can also play a role in camping, which can provide good cover for soldiers.Zhang Zuo was very interested in this kind of chariot, and immediately asked Zhang Tinglan to make more chariots.First realize the chariotization of the cavalry of the guard division.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that within a short period of time, the Feng army would not be able to produce armored forces, and this kind of chariot was the most powerful attacking force for the time being.So I worked hard.

However, it is not easy at first sight to make this kind of chariot combat effective. First of all, in order to prevent the Zama pulling the chariot from being shot in front, the muzzle must be aimed at the back and shoot, so that it can only be fired when the opponent launches a charge. , to play a role.

In addition, shooting accurately while running is also a very difficult task, almost no one can do it, so you can only control the speed of the vehicle during the exchange of fire. In short, there are many things that need to be practiced.

In addition to adding a heavy machine gun to the vehicle, he also discussed with Xiong Mengyuan, suggesting that he imitate the Japanese grenade launcher, and at the same time try to produce some mortars. These relatively light weapons are also motorized by vehicles.In addition, the Japanese [-]-type mountain cannon can also be assigned to the cavalry

Because this kind of mountain cannon is relatively light, it can also maneuver on the battlefield. After arriving at the predetermined position, the mountain cannon is unloaded to provide fire cover for the cavalry. In this way, the firepower of the cavalry can be greatly improved.

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

Of course, so far, the number of chariots manufactured is still very limited, not because of the high cost, but because of the difficulty in training. This time, Zhang Zuoxiang brought a total of [-] chariots to the north, just to compete with the Kyrgyz army. In the middle, try out how this new weapon is.

In fact, this time both sides have set up a formation to lure the enemy, and both sides are suffocating to destroy each other. When the cavalry of the Ji army appeared in the field of vision, three Feng army chariots also appeared, and the distance between them and the opponent was getting closer and closer. The shorter the distance, the more they can look at each other from a distance.

The cavalry of the Feng army suddenly turned collectively and assumed a posture of fleeing. The Ji army suddenly became energetic and thought that the opponent was timid to fight, so they launched a charge frantically. Gradually, the distance between the two armies was shortening. The army's three weird carriages suddenly showed their ferocious faces.

First, the speed of the carriage slowed down and became more and more stable. Then three tongues of fire shot out from the carriage, sweeping across the cavalry of the Kyrgyz army. In an instant, more than a dozen cavalrymen were swept away.

The people behind also felt that something was wrong, but the huge inertia made them unable to stop quickly and could only continue to rush forward. As a result, they were all hit by the bullets fired head-on, and the ground was covered with broken corpses and stained with blood. .

It was also the first time for Feng Jun to use this tactic. Seeing the amazing effect, they were all overjoyed. The speed of the chariot became slower and slower, and finally stopped altogether, so that they could better target the opponent.

The Ji army also stopped their horses at this time, and they are not fools. The other party used this method, so they would not die.Therefore, these Ji troops fled one after another, but they were not able to run if they wanted to. Feng Jun's cavalry had already prepared for it. When they saw that their opponent was defeated, they immediately launched a pursuit. No one had the opportunity to beat a dog in the water. Will let it go, and soon dozens of Kyrgyz soldiers were wiped out.

Gao Shibin has been waiting for the news of the elimination of the opponent, but there is no news, so he had to take a battalion out to check it out. less than half.

He immediately became angry.Gao Shibin has always been a proud guy, and he has put a lot of effort into the cavalry. Looking at it now, he was completely enraged when he was bullied by Feng Jun.

The Ji army launched a charge, and the Feng army had noticed it a long time ago. They wisely stopped the horses, and then turned around and ran away.Afraid that the speed would be slow, Gao Shibin was even more disdainful when he saw this. The opponents were a bunch of cowards, and it turned out that his subordinates were chased by them and ran around. It was simply too embarrassing.After I pack up these Fengjun cavalry and go back.You must teach those unlucky guys a lesson.

As a result, his soldiers chased him not far away.I noticed three carriages. These three carriages had a tacit understanding and pointed their butts at them. Can the carriages run past the cavalry, so this group of people chased even more crazily.

When the distance gets closer and closer, the old things repeat themselves again.Bullets shot like a storm, and the soldiers who rushed the most were hit head-on, and all were killed, and the entire cavalry was beaten.Their speed slowed down, and the opponent's chariot also slowed down.

The machine gun was spewing flames, still harvesting lives. It wasn't until this time that the later Ji soldiers knew why their brothers fled in embarrassment. It turned out that Feng Jun had come up with such a despicable thing.

At this time, Gao Shibin also figured out what was going on, but the price was a bit too high. He had already lost nearly two hundred cavalrymen, and what was even more frustrating was that Fengjun only lost five men. Gao Shimin jumped into a rage, and he hurriedly divided his cavalry into two teams, piercing through from the flanks, avoiding the direct fire of the Feng army.

Obviously, Gao Shibin found the biggest weakness of the chariots, that is, the number is too small. As long as they attack from all angles, Fengjun can't look after each other.The Ji army's soldiers pursued more and more fiercely, and Feng Jun was not a fool, he was at least five or six times as big as himself, and he put on a desperate posture. If he didn't run quickly, he would be a complete fool.

Feng Jun also fled for his life, but Ji Jun was a new force after all, and his speed was much faster than Feng Jun's, and the distance between the two sides was constantly shortening.At this time, a black figure appeared again on the field, and a large group of cavalry from the Feng army also appeared.

There are more than a dozen vehicles approaching this way. When the distance is almost the same, these vehicles turned around tacitly and left their buttocks to the Ji army. Seeing this, the Ji army did not dare to pursue them at all. They only sent Three carriages made them lose their helmets and armor, but now there are more than a dozen more. If they dare to chase them down, they are courting death.

Therefore, the Ji army fled back frantically regardless of everything. Because they were too anxious to escape, several horses even injured their legs when they turned around sharply. These unlucky cavalrymen who lost their horses all became prisoners of the Feng army.

Seeing that the Ji army was defeated like a mountain, Feng Jun was chasing closely behind, and all the chariots followed unhurriedly. If the Ji army dared to counterattack, we will continue to play like this.This time Gao Shibin was also awake, and he didn't want to lose all his subordinates, so he ran away with his head in his arms, and all fled to the city for their lives.

"Master, this chariot is really good. With this thing, we can only attack the opponent. The opponent should not even try to fight back. Zhuoyan's brain is flexible." Sun Anhu accompanied Zhang Zuoxiang to observe the chariot early on. As a result, now he is very happy to see that the Ji army has been killed and fled.

"Yes, it is indeed very effective, but Ting Lan also told me that this thing is already behind. The Westerners have already developed iron chariots. Our carriages can only fire at the back. We have to retreat and attack at the same time. People The chariot is equipped with machine guns and cannons at the front, which can fire when attacking, and it is also covered with a thick layer of iron armor, which is both offensive and defensive. !"

Gao Shibing led his subordinates all the way back to Siping, but they couldn't hold out. Originally, the two armies were confronted by scouts. As a result, more and more troops were involved.

Zhang Zuoxiang is not a good man either. He immediately issued a telegram, saying that Fengjun was harassed by the Gao Shijun during the process of suppressing bandits, and five Fengjun cavalry were killed. He demanded that the Jijun must apologize to Fengjun. If there is no response within two hours, Feng Jun will launch an attack.

After the electricity was sent out, Zhang Zuoxiang led his subordinates to approach Siping and began to build various fortifications. The dark muzzle was already pointing at the Ji army in the city.

This guy Gao Shibin had just suffered a defeat, and now he was killed to the door again. He also jumped into a rage and directly tore up the power supply of Fengjun, and then ordered the Jijun army to prepare for battle to deal with Fengjun's attack.

After the time limit passed, the artillerymen of the Feng army began to roar, and the shells all over the sky smashed towards the city wall. It was the first time for Gao Shibin's subordinates to encounter such a powerful shelling. All the soldiers held their heads tremblingly, fearing that one shell would fall to your own hunger.

In this kind of siege battle, chariots are useless, so Zhang Zuoxiang secretly ordered Sun Anhu to lead his troops to the back of Siping, blocking the escape route of Gao Shibin, and prepared to give the most powerful cavalry of the Jilin army fatal blow. (To be continued..)
