As a soldier, George Dewey, like Will, can only achieve his ideals in the army.

Why Will is fascinated by the army, because Will likes the life of such soldiers and iron horses in the army, Will likes the soldiers to go straight and does not need to fight with each other, Will can only find a sense of belonging in the army, whether in Sp The Linfield Police Department is still unachievable in the city government.

Like George Dewey, only the army is the biggest stage for George Dewey.

Of course, if the subdivision is still different, the United States does not have a standing army, and George Dewey is a navy, and Will is a serious army, so Will would rather not be the mayor of Springfield, but also go to Cuba To pursue their ideals.

"Actually, after this battle, we might try to persuade Washington to set up a standing army." Li Mu thought a little far away. If Li Mu pushed Washington to set up a standing army, then maybe Li Mu could get a "father of the US Army" and the like Honorary title--

In the end, Li Mu will also become a beneficiary of the US Army. In the future, all the US Army will be grateful to Li Mu. It is because of Li Mu's efforts that the United States has the standing army.

"This pays attention to Lim, I support you." Will immediately rejuvenated, looking eagerly into Li Mu's eyes.

"If you do this, you won't say if it will succeed, but the Navy will hate you." George Dewey disapproved.

This also involves a dispute over military expenditures. Assuming that Congress allocates one million US dollars to the military each year, then if Li Mu promotes Washington to set up a standing army, this will necessarily play a part of the military expenditure of the navy, so-

After all, George Dewey belongs to the Navy.

"George, you can't say that. If the United States has an army, the military's voice will be louder and it will get more military expenses. Half of the three million is much more than all of the one million." Li Mu is not worried. Naval blame, even if Congress does not increase military spending, at least Li Mu can get the support of the Army.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although the Navy will not hate Li Mu, the Navy will not be grateful to Li Mu. There is a difference between the two. Even if it is hatred, it is better than ignoring it.

"It's up to you, if you want." George Dewey no longer persuaded that the future would be unpredictable, and it would be serious to get things done right now.

"Tomorrow there will be a batch of heavy rain machine guns coming. This is the last supply before the war. The next time will be mid-July, when mortars will be sent for testing." Li Mu to George Dewey was upset. From a weapon perspective, the equipment level of the United States of Cuba has now surpassed that of the Spaniards.

George Dewey ’s army is now equipped with nearly 200 heavy machine guns. Although this number is still inadequate, it is a far cry from the Spaniards. In addition to artillery, the Spaniards fell to all positions during battles. Downwind.

The current artillery performance is not perfect. Generally speaking, it is good to be able to fire once or twice a minute. There is not enough artillery officers in Spain because of the coup, which further weakens the strength of the Spanish artillery force.

Compared with the infantry that can be formed in just a few months, the artillery is a high-tech arm, which requires longer training and a higher cultural level. The 19th century artillery unit has the reputation of a "scientist force". Almost every officer who is proficient in artillery is a mathematician.

"This is the only good news I have today." George Dewey's complexion looked a little better and greeted Li Mu with the cup in his hand.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Li Mu greeted him without much compliment.

On July 10, Willi Nicolaou led his troops to El Cristo and the second Battle of El Cristo broke out.

With the experience of the first battle of El Christo, Willi Nikolau did not dare to entrust him, and made two days of fire preparation before launching the attack, setting George Dewey first. After all the defense facilities visible on the line of defense were almost completely destroyed, Willi Nikolau ordered the soldiers to launch an attack.

What Willai Nicolaus didn't expect is that in just three months, George Dewey has set up a complete fortification system in El Christo. Compared with the previous positions, the current defense line is similar. So a three-dimensional line of defense. Although the Spanish fire was fierce, but the effect was not great. George Dewey's soldiers hid in the Tibetan soldier cave and did not suffer much damage. Even after the Spaniard stopped firing, George Dewey's The soldiers had enough time to repair the fortifications.

The Spaniards attacked. They faced not only the steep mountains, but also the minefields buried on their way, and the barbed wire everywhere on the ground. These were the biggest troubles for the offensive infantry. .

Within two hours of joining the ground forces, the Spaniards paid the price of nearly 3,000 people, but they have not yet completed the first attack. They are not even capable of forcing the defenders to use grenades, barbed wire, ghostly mines, roars everywhere The raging heavy machine guns and the thin but precise deadly cold guns have become obstacles for the Spaniards.

Willai Nikolau is not a peerless genius. Facing a strong defensive position, Willai Nicolaou's only countermeasure is to fill it with human lives. The Spaniards are not even familiar with rifle synergy, which makes The Spaniard's attack was greatly reduced, and it seemed that the thunder and rain were small.

"At this time, you need to use the tactics of the skirmish line. Our garrison now has no artillery, and the normal defensive position must have artillery. If you use the tactics of the skirmish line when attacking a solid position, then the enemy's fire is urgent. Under the attack, the casualty line will avoid injuries to the greatest extent, because the soldiers' positions are scattered, and a 75-mm artillery shell will come down, killing us at most half a squad. The shells can at least kill half of their company-"From an observation spot away from the main battlefield, Tom is explaining Will's" scatter line "tactics to Will in detail.

Since the Napoleonic period, artillery has been known as the **** of war. The Spaniards can acquiesce in Li Mu's support for the United States of Cuba, and can tolerate the United States selling light weapons to Cuba in his personal name, but the Spaniards will never allow Americans to sell artillery to the United States of Cuba. This will lead to war between Spain and the United States.

So now that the war has been going on, although it has been fighting for several years, the United States of Cuba still has no artillery.

As for mortars, this is not among the Spaniards' embargo. The Spaniards have no idea what mortars are, so they are banned.

"Well, it seems that the Scatter Line is a bit reasonable." Will, who had the telescope, had to admit that the Scatter Line was indeed a little better than the thin red line in the attack.

"Don't look at Rimme who hasn't joined the army. This guy is a genius. His skirmish line is only the first step. I heard what 'three-three systems' will be introduced in the future. It is a pity that we will have returned to the United States by then. Chance to learn about this tactic. "Tom spoke amazingly, with regrets beyond words.

In fact, in Li Mu's view, the "scattering line" is also not satisfactory. The "three and three systems" created by PLA in the future will be the real "terminator".

Of course, while developing the "three-three systems", Li Mu also wanted to play rifle coordination, armor coordination, left and right trapezoids, etc., but that's all in the future. It's a bit early to say now.

"The casualty line cannot completely solve the problem. In the face of intensive artillery, the army will still suffer great losses." Will doesn't understand what the "three, three systems" are. Not optimistic.

"It's not because we don't have artillery. If we have artillery, we can counter the enemy's artillery. You see, we can now see the Spanish artillery positions without any cover at all. This is plain. We don't have artillery for bullying. "Tom's tone was resentful.

While talking, finally Spanish soldiers broke through the barricades and mines and began to attack the trenches.

The original sparse cold guns suddenly became dense. Although the ordinary troops of the United States of Cuba were not as strong as the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, they were also much more intense than the Spanish colonial army. The accuracy of the shooting was still guaranteed, plus suddenly With the addition of two heavy machine guns, the Spaniard's offensive was like the waves that were shot on the wave-proof, and after all, they returned without success.

"It looks like we won't get a chance to fight for a while." Will's teeth were very upset.

"If I could, I would have never had a chance." Tom didn't want to be charged. Li Mu said recently that he wanted to establish a training camp in the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment. Tom wanted to continue this kind of double-paid work.

On the first day of the attack, the Spaniards did not make any progress. If they ignored the damaged barbed wire, George Dewey's soldiers did not even use a grenade to drive the Spaniards back to their original place.

That night, George Dewey sent a telegram to Li Mu, demanding that the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment move to the Spanish side and be ready to attack at any time.

From the attack intensity on the first day, George Dewey obviously felt that the Spaniards were underpowered. Even if there were a larger number of such troops, it was really not a concern. George Dewey had confidence in the battle.

Li Mu is not very optimistic. In any case, Willai Nikolau has 90,000 soldiers, nearly twice that of the United States of Cuba. It should still be more cautious when facing such enemies.
