Any change in tactics will bring about a revolution in the battlefield situation. After Fengjun's large-scale equipment of machine guns, it had an absolute advantage over the cavalry. However, Fengjun's own cavalry also became useless because the opponent could also learn this.
The method is to threaten Fengjun's cavalry. After all, Fengjun can't just think about dealing with weak opponents, but also those powerful enemies.
In fact, this new type of offensive and defensive weapon has already appeared in Europe, that is, armored vehicles, and tanks that are about to appear on the battlefield. These steel monsters will completely end the glory of the cavalry, but it is a pity that Fengjun does not have the capital to play with armored strength.
We can only use our brains based on the existing foundation.
After Zhang Tinglan faced off against the cavalry several times, he was constantly thinking about ways to deal with it. For the time being, the main mobile force of the Feng army was the cavalry. If he wanted to give his cavalry an overwhelming advantage, he would have to increase the cavalry's firepower.
But if you want to put a machine gun weighing dozens of kilograms on a war horse, even a red rabbit horse will have to lie down. But as long as you use your brain, you will find a way. Then Zhang Tinglan thought of a carriage. Starting from the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains
When the dynasty was fighting against the nomads, they had already used chariots on a large scale, relying on the power of the chariot array to withstand the powerful impact of the cavalry.
This new type of chariot was quickly manufactured. Unlike its predecessors who focused on defense in history, the main ability was offense. Placing a heavy machine gun on the carriage became the first choice. A Maxim heavy machine gun weighs 27.2 kilograms.
In addition, a large amount of ammunition and shooters are within the range that the war horse can bear.
In fact, the origin of this kind of thing was the Russians. During the Russian Civil War, the Soviet army installed machine guns on ordinary four-wheeled carriages. The war horses provided the machine guns with powerful maneuverability and could move positions at any time.
This type of tank was irresponsible and was quickly produced. Each vehicle required three people to operate it, a driver, a machine gunner, and a total ammunition supply. In addition, it was equipped with three thousand rounds of ammunition to ensure strong firepower output.
Of course, in order for this kind of tank to be effective, it must be equipped with corresponding protection troops and logistics vehicles, and they must learn to cooperate with each other.
Just like a tank, each vehicle is equipped with twenty cavalry, who protect the safety of the tank and prevent enemy sneak attacks. It is also equipped with a certain number of spare vehicles to transport bullets and maintenance tools. Once the tank is damaged, these spare vehicles
The number of vehicles still needs to be replenished.
After Zhang Tinglan got the chariot out, he demonstrated it to his father Zhang Zuoxiang. Zhang Zuoxiang had fought with Mongolian bandits many times in his early years and was very familiar with cavalry combat. Now when he saw this chariot, he immediately felt that this was a change in tradition.
A good thing for cavalry tactics, it has strong firepower. If it is against the Mongolian bandits, it will definitely be a total massacre.
Moreover, these vehicles can also play a role when camping and can provide good cover for soldiers. Zhang Zuopian was very interested in this kind of tank, and then asked Zhang Tinglan to make more tanks. First, the tank for the garrison division cavalry was realized.
change.
Zhang Tinglan also knew that Fengjun would not be able to produce armored forces in a short period of time, and that this kind of tank would be the most powerful attacking force at the moment. Therefore, he made a lot of efforts.
However, it is not easy to make this kind of chariot display its combat effectiveness. First of all, in order to prevent hitting Zama who is pulling the chariot in front, the muzzle must be pointed at the back to shoot, so that it can only be fired when the opponent launches a charge.
, can it play a role.
In addition, shooting accurately while running is also a very difficult thing. Almost no one can do it, so you can only control the speed of the vehicle during the firefight. In short, there are many things that need to be practiced.
In addition to equipping the vehicle with a heavy machine gun, he also discussed with Xiong Mengyuan and suggested that he imitate the Japanese grenades and trial-produce some mortars. These relatively light weapons are also maneuvered using vehicles. In addition, the Japanese
The Type 41 mountain cannon can also be assigned to the cavalry
Since this kind of mountain cannon is relatively light and can be maneuvered on the battlefield, after arriving at the predetermined position, the mountain cannon can be removed to provide fire cover for the cavalry. In this way, the cavalry's firepower can be greatly improved.
This thing may not be effective against Japan and Tsarist Russia, but it is enough to deal with the surrounding small warlords, especially the Mongolian and northwest cavalry.
Of course, the number of tanks manufactured so far is still very limited, not because of the high cost, but mainly because the training is too difficult. This time Zhang Zuoxiang brought a total of twenty tanks northward, just to compete with the Ji army.
Now, try out this new weapon.
In fact, this time both sides set up a formation to lure the enemy, and both sides were holding back to destroy the other side. When the cavalry of the Kyrgyz Army appeared in the field of vision, three Fengjun chariots also appeared, and the distance between them and their opponents was getting closer and closer.
The shorter they are, the closer they can be to each other.
Fengjun's cavalry suddenly turned around collectively and put into an escape posture. The Jijun army suddenly became energetic and thought that their opponents were timid, so they launched a crazy charge. Gradually, the distance between the two armies was shortening. At this time, Fengjun's army was
The three strange carriages of the army suddenly showed their ferocious features.
First, the speed of the carriage slowed down and became more and more stable, and then three tongues of fire shot out from the carriage, sweeping across the Ji army's cavalry. In an instant, more than a dozen cavalrymen were hit. In an instant, they were turned on their backs, and it was so miserable.
The people behind also felt something bad, but the huge inertia prevented them from stopping quickly and could only continue to rush forward. As a result, they were all hit by bullets fired from the head on, and the ground was full of broken corpses and stains of blood.
.
It was also the first time for Feng Jun to use this tactic. When they saw the amazing effect, they were all ecstatic. The speed of the chariot became slower and slower, and finally stopped altogether, so that they could better target their opponents.
The Ji Jun also stopped their horses at this time. They were not fools. They would not die if the opponent used this method. Therefore, these Ji Jun ran away one after another, but they could not run away if they wanted to. Feng Jun
The cavalry had been prepared for a long time. When they saw that their opponent was defeated, they immediately launched a pursuit. No one would miss the opportunity to beat a drowned dog, and soon dozens of Ji soldiers were eliminated.
Gao Shibi had been waiting for the news of annihilating his opponent, but there was no news. He had to personally lead a battalion out to check. At this time, he saw that the Kyrgyz cavalry were killed in embarrassment, and few of them came back alive.
One less and a half.
He immediately became angry. Gao Shibi has always been a proud guy, and he has put a lot of effort into the cavalry. Now when he saw that he was bullied by Feng Jun, he was completely furious. He didn't care about anything else, he just
The superior let his men rush forward.
Ji Jun launched a charge, and Feng Jun had noticed it. They wisely stopped their horses, then turned around and ran away. For fear of being slowed down, Gao Shibi was even more disdainful when he saw this. The opponent was a bunch of cowards, and he ended up
It's really embarrassing for my subordinates to be chased everywhere by them. After I take care of these Fengjun cavalry, I will definitely teach those guys who don't live up to their expectations well when I go back.
As a result, not far after his soldiers chased them, he noticed three carriages. These three carriages had a tacit understanding and aimed their butts at them. Could the carriages outrun the cavalry? Therefore, the gang pursued them even more crazily.
Already.
When the distance got closer and closer, the old thing happened again. A storm of bullets came over, and the soldiers who charged the hardest were hit head-on, and they were all killed. The entire cavalry was stunned. Their speed slowed down.
, the opponent's chariot also slowed down.
The machine guns were spitting out tongues of fire and were still harvesting lives. It was only then that the later Ji Jun soldiers knew why their brothers were fleeing in confusion. It turned out that Feng Jun had come up with such a despicable thing.
At this time, Gao Shibi also figured out what was going on, but the price was too high. He had already lost nearly 200 cavalrymen. What was even more frustrating was that Fengjun only lost five men. The disparity in the exchange ratio was so great.
Gao Shijie was furious. He hurriedly divided his cavalry into two teams and inserted them from the flanks to avoid Feng Jun's direct fire.
Obviously, Gao Shibi found the biggest weakness of the chariots, which was that the number was too small. As long as they launched attacks from all angles, Feng Jun could not look after each other. The soldiers of the Ji Army pursued each other more and more fiercely, and Feng Jun was not a fool.
, there were at least five or six times as many people as me, and they put on a desperate posture. If you didn't run away quickly, you would be a complete fool.
Fengjun also ran for his life, but the Jijun army was a new force after all, and its speed was much faster than that of Fengjun. The distance between the two sides was constantly shortening. At this time, a black figure appeared again in the wilderness, Fengjun's
A large group of cavalry also appeared.
There were more than a dozen vehicles approaching here. When the distance was almost the same, these vehicles turned around in a tacit understanding and left their butts to the Jijun army. Seeing this, the Jijun army did not dare to pursue it anymore. They only sent
They were asked to take off their armor after three carriages, but now a dozen more carriages appeared. If they still dared to pursue them, they would be looking for death.
As a result, the Ji army all fled back crazily regardless of everything. Because they were so anxious to escape, some horses even injured their legs when they turned around sharply. These unlucky cavalrymen who lost their horses all became prisoners of Feng's army.
Seeing that the Ji army was defeated like a mountain, Feng Jun was chasing closely behind, and all the chariots followed leisurely. If the Ji army dares to counterattack, we will continue to play like this. Now Gao Shibi also woke up, and he also
He didn't want to lose all his men, so he fled to the city for his life.
"Commander, this tank is really good. With this thing, we can only attack the opponent, and the opponent can't even think of counterattack. Zhu Yan's mind is so flexible." Sun Anhu accompanied Zhang Zuoxiang to observe the tank early.
As a result, he was very happy when he saw that the Ji army had been killed and fled.
"Yes, it is indeed very effective, but Ting Lan also told me that this thing is already behind the times. The Westerners have developed iron chariots. Our chariots can only fire at the rear. We have to retreat and attack at the same time. People
The chariot has a machine gun and a cannon mounted on the front, which can fire when attacking, and it is also covered with a thick layer of iron armor, capable of both offense and defense. It is a true chariot. These things are not enough for us.
!”
Gao Shibi led his men to escape all the way back to Siping, unable to hold on. Originally, the two armies were engaged in a confrontation between scouts. As a result, more and more troops were involved, and the two sides were at odds with each other.
Zhang Zuoxiang was not a good man either. He immediately issued a telegram, saying that Fengjun was harassed by Gao Shibi's troops during the suppression of bandits, and five Fengjun cavalry were killed. He demanded that the Jijun army must apologize to Fengjun.
If there is no response within two hours, Fengjun will launch an attack.
After the power was sent out, Zhang Zuoxiang led his men to approach Siping and began to build various fortifications. The dark muzzles of the guns were already pointed at the Ji army in the city.
Gao Shibi had just suffered a defeat, and now he was killed at the door. He was furious and directly tore up Fengjun's power supply, and then ordered the Jijun to prepare for battle to deal with Fengjun's attack.
After the time limit passed, Fengjun's artillery began to roar, and the cannonballs hit the city wall. It was the first time for Gao Shibi's men to encounter such a powerful bombardment. All the soldiers held their heads in fear for fear that one of the cannonballs would fall.
to your own hunger.
In this kind of siege battle, chariots were of little use. Zhang Zuoxiang secretly ordered Sun Anhu to lead his troops around to the back of Siping to block Gao Shibi's escape route and prepare to attack the most powerful cavalry of the Ji army.
A fatal blow. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
