- Although they were said to go down to command the troops separately, everyone in the Qiong Navy still gathered in front of the artillery position before they knew it.
——This is the place with the highest terrain and the best view in the surrounding area. Ma Qianshan used it to place his artillery. Among them, the hillside with the best view set up a command position on it.
“Putting the headquarters in such an obvious place makes it easy to look around, and it is also easy to look around them. If they were fighting opponents with firearms, they would definitely not dare to be so confident - one round of artillery fire could destroy their command system.
But isn’t this just bullying Houjin without guns? At least there were no field artillery that could follow the troops, and even if the Hou Jin soldiers had the ability to drag over the captured Ming army artillery, with the firing speed and power of the artillery shells of this era, it would not pose much of a threat to them.
Their opponents obviously knew this very well. Through the telescope, everyone quickly noticed that the opponent's formation was extremely sparse, and the several large square formations were widely separated. It was completely unlike those in the cold weapon era. Combat Formation - It is obvious that the opponent is afraid of their artillery. Especially the legendary "Fire Dragon Cannon". Although it was only used once in Hainan and Shandong, its reputation has already spread throughout the world.
Kong Youde defected to Houjin, and Huang Taiji must have been prepared for Qiong Haijun's rocket launchers. But no matter how prepared we were, it was impossible not to come and fight with them, so we adopted this skirmishing array, which greatly violated the military principles of this era.
Of course, after all, this is just a tactic imagined by a group of laymen working behind closed doors, and it is far from the real skirmishing tactics of later generations. And they were actually overly worried. Qiong Haijun did not bring rocket launchers to the battle this time-
Rocket launchers are extremely powerful and extremely lethal, but they also have many limitations in their use. The most important point is: you must be able to hit the target.
The several times the Qiong Navy used it to fight the enemy, it either covered a large area of ??maritime fleets or attacked fixed targets such as walled cities, which were relatively easy to target. But this time, when fighting an enemy cavalry group on the grassland, the opponent's movements were flexible and the rocket launcher's advantages could not be used.
Especially before the rocket launcher launches a salvo, there will be a single test fire to verify the steps of shooting various elements. It does not matter if it is to attack fleets at sea or to attack fortresses on the road. But if the opponent is a cavalry group and sees a single rocket falling, why not move immediately? If the follow-up strikes cannot keep up, its huge power cannot be exerted.
Another problem with rocket launchers is that they cause too much pollution when launched. After a salvo, the entire position was covered with smoke and dust, making it difficult for people to breathe, let alone operate. Therefore, Qiong Haijun's use of land rocket launchers has always been a one-shot deal. It is usually only used once in a battle, or it is not used, and its use has the final say.
And this time the combat position is generally relatively small and there is not enough open space. If it is used indiscriminately in actual combat and the dust and smoke cover your own position, it would be a joke.
So this time, although the Qiong Navy’s fleet also transported several sets of rocket launchers from the south, they were left at Tianjin Port to defend the city. All troops going into battle carried body-barreled artillery. Of course, just the cannons alone are enough - more than a hundred of them! This is the first time that the regiment-affiliated artillery of the three Qiong Haijun regiments have been used together, and it will probably be the last time. After this battle, the artillery will gradually be replaced.
Out of the idea of ??cleaning up their inventories, each regiment revealed all its artillery assets. Although it was still a bronze cannon, from the sighting, commanding, and firing steps, they all adopted the operating procedures of later generations. Not to mention that all those fired were high-explosive bombs. Its range and power are completely different from the old-fashioned artillery of this era.
That’s why Ma Qianshan dared to put the headquarters in the open, because he was very confident-in front of this artillery group, any long-range firepower from the enemy could not even think of speaking!
…………
The enemy stopped about four or five miles away. While taking a short rest, they also organized their formation to prepare for the next battle. This distance happened to be where Qiong Haijun's artillery was located in the previous fierce battles. With the extreme range shown, it seems that Houjin is still very good at learning from experience and lessons. Especially the lessons learned at the cost of human life are really impressive.
It’s a pity that those people don’t know that the short-haired artillery has begun to be updated. Although the powerful and heavy 75th Cannon was not shipped this time, several lightweight and compact 70th Cannon, which were imitations of the 92nd Infantry Cannon of the old Japanese Empire, came with the ship.
There are not many of them, but their portability and rate of fire are incomparable to the original bronze cannons, and their firing range of nearly three thousand meters is just right to reach the enemy brigade in front of them.
Seeing that the opponent thought that the artillery here was out of reach, and still used the habit of fighting with cold weapons,??The originally relatively loose formation was assembled and crowded together. As far as they were concerned, it was preparation before battle, but in Ma Qianshan's eyes, the opponent was in a perfect posture to be beaten. , it’s really unjustifiable not to give him a few shots!
So Ma Qianshan approached Tang Jian and asked him if he could give him a "warm" welcome ceremony. The cavalrymen wanted to fight when they showed off their power in front of him just now, but Tang Jian said he had to wait for the enemy's large force before he could bear it. Now that the enemy's army is coming, it's time for him to open his shop.
Tang Jian thought for a moment and agreed. Anyway, "they're all here." Huang Taiji couldn't end this battle that both sides had been preparing for a long time just because he was hit with a few cannons. Even if he was hit in the head, he still had to hold his nose and finish the battle.
With Tang Jian's permission, Ma Qianshan happily dispatched troops. After a while, several artillery crews responsible for operating the 70-gun moved to the front of the position. These 70 cannons looked extremely small, with only a layer of dull green paint on the barrels. There were only three to four gunners in each gun crew, and because the gun body was too low, the gunners had to half kneel on the ground to operate.
“Compared to the majestic-looking twelve-pound Napoleon cannons nearby that shone with bronze and had at least eight or nine people waiting on each cannon, these seventy-pound cannons were just like children’s toys.
Not far away, the officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty who came to watch the excitement were puzzled by the appearance of rows of short-haired cannons that were not in use, but were only interested in these gadgets. But since they followed Qiong Haijun into the army, they have seen too many things that are difficult to understand, and they have been mentally trained for a long time.
——The officials of the Ming Dynasty who can stand here, whether civil or military, even if they are eunuchs, are of high status, and their tempers are naturally arrogant, so they don't bother to ask questions like a country bumpkin. Even if I see those things that are difficult to understand, I just keep them in my heart silently, and my face will always look calm.
Moreover, at this moment, looking at the overwhelming Jinmeng coalition forces opposite, including Cao Huachun, the chief minister of rituals, Zhang Fengyi, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, the young master Zhang Shize, etc., although their faces could barely maintain their composure His expression did not show any shameful fear, but his heart was unavoidably beating a little drum. But those short-haired ones are still interested in playing with their new gadgets. This calm and composed attitude can be regarded as a reassurance for them.
So let alone short-haired men playing with small cannons at this time, even if one of them took out a mahogany sword, had disheveled hair, and danced like a master in step and kick fighting, these Ming Dynasty officials would still be able to accept it very calmly. And maybe it would make you feel more at ease, after all, it is within a category that you can understand.
And they really can’t understand what these short-haired guys are playing with right now.
…………
——No matter what those Ming Dynasty people thought, on the Qiong Haijun side, the 70th Artillery Group, under the personal guidance of Ma Qianshan, quickly adjusted its shooting at Zhu Yuan and was ready to shoot.
But before giving the order to fire the artillery, Ma Qianshan seemed to have remembered something and turned around to look like Tang Jian:
"Team Tang, this is a historical moment, would you like to say a few words?"
Tang Jian hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. He looked up at the battlefield ahead, then turned around and looked at the fighting-minded companions around him, as well as the faces of the young and energetic warriors farther away. He thought for a moment and said:
"Comrades, most of us were once soldiers of the Republic. Defending our country and our nation is the sacred oath we have made to the country. Today, although we have come to this time and space, era It has changed, but the land under our feet has not changed - it is still China and our motherland! It is still our sacred mission to protect her and protect her!"
When he said this, Tang Jian turned his eyes, circled around the Ming Dynasty officials not far away, and continued:
"We have come all the way here to fight this battle, not for the dignitaries in Beijing, let alone the emperor in the Forbidden City. But for the tens of thousands of ordinary people living on this land. Although they They are not citizens of the Republic, but they are still the people of China and our compatriots. As Chinese soldiers, we have the obligation to protect them. This will never change no matter where we are or when we are. !”
Tang Jian's voice was not loud and his tone was not high. Those officials from the Ming Dynasty did not hear clearly what he was saying, so they had no reaction. But the generals of the Qiong Navy standing next to him, especially Wang Haiyang, Beiwei, Yang Jie, Ma Qianshan, Jie Xi all of them who had served as soldiers, all of them stood up straight and swayed unconsciously.He showed the most solemn military posture.
Tang Jian is not a person who is good at propaganda and agitation. After saying these words, his lips moved for a moment, as if he wanted to say something more, but he could not find more suitable words. So he stopped talking, but raised his hands and silently performed the most standard military salute to his companions in front of him.
Those companions who had served in the military also raised their hands to return the salute solemnly, and several young men who had not joined the army, such as Wei Aiwen and Ye Mengyan, also followed the military salute seriously. Although his posture is not as standard and graceful as those of his senior companions, his enthusiasm is no less impressive. Even old guys like Pang Yu and Wu Nanhai couldn't help but straighten their bodies at this time, with solemn expressions on their faces.
In this solemn atmosphere, Ma Qianshan slowly lowered his saluting arm. But soon, he raised it high again - facing the direction of the enemy.
There was a slight pause, and then, with everyone watching, he waved his right hand forcefully:
"Fire!"
