Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

When everyone looked back, they were all shocked. Liu Biao squeezed out of the crowd first, knelt down in front of the man, kowtowed and said, "Shuai Lin, so you are not dead."

Everyone knelt down one after another, and Lin Yuan quickly said, "Get up quickly."

When everyone stood up, Lin Yuan asked Liu Biao, "What is the black and red stick?"

Liu Biao replied: "The black-red stick is just a wooden stick. It hits the body so hard that the wounds are red and purple, so it is called the black-red stick."

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "Then why don't you ask what's going on before punishing them? If the military law prohibits fighting, then both of them should be punished. How can you only punish recruits?"

Liu Biao replied: "The rules in the army are like this. If there is a conflict between the recruits and the veterans, no matter what, the recruits will be punished."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Old soldiers bullying new soldiers, this can be regarded as a chronic disease of the old army." So he said with a smile: "What kind of rule is this, punishment should be based on right or wrong, call those two soldiers, Ask what happened?"

Liu Biao heard this, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Bring those two fighting things up."

Soon someone brought the two soldiers up, and they knelt down in front of Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan asked, "Why did you fight?"

The veteran didn't speak, but the recruit replied: "My lord, today he said that you are dead, we can't win this battle, and we have to retreat sooner or later. The subordinates didn't believe that you were dead, so they argued with him. It was a veteran who said a lot of nasty things, and the subordinates lost their temper for a moment, so they started fighting with him."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Is such a small matter worth fighting?"

Neither of the two soldiers spoke, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I will not pursue today's matter." Then he said sharply: "In the future, whoever dares to fight again will be severely punished!"

The recruit saw that he was spared the pain of flesh and blood, and quickly kowtowed to thank him. From Lin Yuan's words, the veteran heard that he was very dissatisfied with the veteran bullying the recruit. He thought that Lin Yuan would punish him severely, but unexpectedly Lin Yuan spared him, and repeatedly Kowtowing in thanks, Lin Yuan helped the two of them up, and said with a smile, "Is it because you haven't fought a war these days, and you have exhausted your energy and have nowhere to put it down. Now it's all right, we're going to fight the Japanese soon."

Lin Yuan called the two coordinators to the conference room to discuss the battle plan.

Seeing that only Fade Chen and Liu Biao had come, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking Liu Biao: "Didn't the Xie Tong of the Right Association come?"

Liu Biao replied: "My lord, the Youxie Xietong has been staying in the capital due to illness and did not follow, so the position of the Youxie Xietong is temporarily vacant, and the subordinates will take the position of Xietong."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This President of the Right Association must be afraid of war and dare not come." So he nodded and said: "Okay, we will leave him alone, Lord Liu, tell me how we can conquer these two highlands ?”

Liu Biao said: "There are frontal attacks, that is, large troops attack from the front; side attacks, that is, one team feigns an attack from the front, and the other team takes the opportunity to detour to the enemy's rear; In order to cope, the Japanese army built fortifications at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside, and defended against the mountain, no matter whether it was a frontal attack or a side attack, it would be attacked from the upper and lower sides, so these two methods were useless."

Liu Biao went on to say: "The current strategy is to siege. Our army is far stronger than the Japanese army, so we attack from all sides, so that the Japanese army can focus on the east and ignore the west. However, this method of attack is not perfect. The terrain of the Japanese high ground It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and if you attack by force, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties."

Lin Yuan asked: "Which unit is the Japanese army stationed on the high ground, and how is their weaponry?"

Fade Chen replied: "We have reconnaissance clearly, this is the No.18 Squadron under the First Brigade of the First Division of the Japanese Army, with about 500 people, equipped with Murata 22-year-style rifles, and four Japanese self-developed rifles. The self-produced 70mm mountain cannons are equipped in the fortifications on the mountainside. If our troops attack by force, those mountain cannons will cause heavy casualties to our attacking troops."

Lin Yuan nodded and thought to himself: "It seems that my strategic deception is still very useful. The Japanese army thought I was dead and the Qing court would not continue to attack, so they did not withdraw the defenders on the west bank of the Liaohe River. Just let me eat them and give Hirobumi Ito a gift."

Lin Yuan turned to Liu Biao and asked, "How is our artillery battalion equipped?"

Liu Biao replied: "Our Dingwu Army has three artillery battalions, two of which are equipped with the [-]cm [-] split mountain artillery produced by the Krupp factory, and one is equipped with the [-]cm [-] land artillery produced by the Gruson factory. Equipped with eighteen statues."

Lin Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said, "Wait, what do you mean by mountain-splitting cannon?"

Liu Biao said: "It's just that the cannon is so powerful that the shells seem to be able to split mountains."

In the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court introduced various types of Western artillery, front-loaded, breech-loaded, with rigid mounts, and with initial elastic mounts. The officials of the Qing court did not know how to give them These cannons are often named according to their performance and appearance, such as mountain cannons, frog cannons, mortars, etc. Sometimes, the same cannon may have two names because of different names. .

This does not seem to be a problem, but in fact it is extremely poisonous. There is no standardized name for weapons and equipment, which will naturally cause a big problem for logistics transportation. Moreover, there are often many parts of weapons and equipment, so many labels need to be made during the logistics transportation process. Fill in various forms. At this time, a simple weapon name shows its advantages. For those who often write various forms, he will never think that "Seven Percentage Five Splitting Mountain Cannon" is a good way to save time and effort when writing. name.

Lin Yuan went on to say: "In the future, an order will be issued. When writing the names of weapons and equipment, the whole army must be unified, understand?"

Liu Biao didn't understand that Lin Yuan wanted to mention this matter, but he only nodded in agreement. Lin Yuan said: "When writing the name, it must be concise and clear. For example, for the Krupp 75mm gun, just write Type 75." gone."

Lin Yuan asked again: "How are these cannons used?"

Liu Biao said: "We discussed before we came here that these guns will be assigned to each infantry battalion to support the infantry's attack!"

Lin Yuan said: "Gather all these artillery pieces together and let me command them in a unified manner."

Liu Dart quickly said: "My lord, do you want to concentrate artillery to bombard the Japanese positions? This is also very difficult to do. The location of the Japanese fortifications is very ingenious. They are all built against the mountains and have many hiding places. Their trenches The machine gun battle positions were also built behind the rocks, and it was difficult for our shells to break the rocks, so they couldn't hit the Japanese army."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I already have a solution for this, you don't have to worry about Mr. Liu, what is the situation of the army now, can you go to battle at any time?"

When Liu Biao heard that he was going to fight, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Lord Lin, you can go to fight at any time, and my subordinates are not talented, so I would rather lead a death squad to capture the high ground."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You don't need to call the death squad such a tragic name, believe me, you won't die many people."

Seeing Liu Biao's bewildered face, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Come here with your ears." After listening to Lin Yuan's words, Liu Biao suddenly realized: "This subordinate understands, this subordinate will go prepare now!"

This day was March 1895, 3, the beginning of the second phase of the Northeast Campaign. In the afternoon, 4 Krupp 36mm artillery pieces arrived at the highlands of the Japanese army, and the war was about to start again!
