Staring at the fortifications dug by the Qing Dynasty, after thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang decided to treat the enemy in his own way, using trenches to deal with trenches.

In fact, it is just civil engineering work.

After carefully observing Jiannu's forward positions, Zhu Guoqiang, who had watched many movies about World War I and even the Civil War, knew exactly what the results of a forced attack would be.

It will cause a lot of casualties!

In order to reduce casualties, the only way is to reduce the charging distance as much as possible. Geotechnical excavation work of digging traffic trenches is a good choice.

Geotechnical tunnel excavation operations are nothing new.

In fact, in the more than 20 years of war in Liaodong, it was not uncommon to use trenches to attack trenches and to use trenches to break trenches.

Following the order, the soldiers of the Pinglu Army prepared their engineering shovels and began to dig traffic trenches for earthworks.

The engineer shovel equipped by the Pinglu Army is actually a copy of the 205 engineer shovel on the other side. Although this engineer shovel with a wooden handle and a steel body seems to have a simple structure, it is not easy to imitate. After all, the all-steel shovel head is very important in industry.

It may be easy to produce in society, but here, it is not easy to mass-produce with existing arsenal equipment. Even now, due to cost, only 20% of officers and soldiers are issued with engineer shovels, and

Mainly concentrated in the hands of engineers. Compared with engineer shovels, there are more iron-cast engineer shovels, but they are relatively heavy and are not directly distributed to individuals. They are only issued during soil work.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Pinglu Army were farmers, and digging communication trenches was actually not much different from farm work. After the troops were mobilized, they began to dig long trenches to approach the slaves from multiple directions.

Standing in the long trench, Zhu Guoqiang observed Jiannu's defense line with a telescope, and then he summoned all the officers above the battalion commander level in the three main attack towns to make combat arrangements:

"It's September 26th, nine ten in the morning...tomorrow."

After a pause, he said again.

"The attack will begin at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon on time."

"First, each artillery team used artillery shells to blast open the Luzhai built by Jiannu, opening several openings, opening up attack channels for the troops, and at the same time building parallel trenches for advancement."

"Once the war breaks out, you are given two hours to dig the attack tunnel from the parallel trench to a position fifty meters away from the Jiannu Long Trench."

"Chasers from each town were ready in parallel trenches to cover the engineers as they carried out earthworks. If the Jiannu slaves dared to show up, they would fight against them."

"Your Majesty, what should I do with the fortress built by Jian Nu?"

Chen Wudi, who was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, stared at the earthen fortress built on the sand table and said.

"If the troops are approaching, the artillery base can attack the soldiers with shotgun shells."

"Artillery versus artillery, our artillery is not a vegetarian!"

Then Zhu Guoqiang said in a deep voice.

"The troops in the three towns were divided into six groups and attacked at the same time. Two battalions of soldiers were used as the assault team and one battalion was the reserve team. They were equipped with as many grenades as possible. There was no main attack or assist in the three towns. The same was true for the three battalions in the town. They broke through all the way.

After the attack, the reserve team immediately went into attack and must not hesitate. In short, as the saying goes, you must be resolute and decisive when charging. After the main attacking force approaches, immediately throw all the grenades into the long trench of Jiannu, and then launch a bayonet charge.

Cover the reserves to attack the second deep line of defense. Immediately expand the results..."

Perhaps Zhu Guoqiang is not a professional soldier, but he has something in his heart that others can never grasp. That is the experience accumulated by mankind for more than 470 years.

History.

It was this experience and understanding of history that gave him enough confidence to command this battle.

"After the reserve team charged towards the second long trench, the breakthrough battalion cleared the remaining enemy troops in the first long trench. The troops that did not break through immediately became the reserve team to accompany the attack."

In fact, there is nothing new in this style of play. There is no main attacking unit, and each unit can become the main attacking or assisting unit.

After the arrangements were made, Zhu Guoqiang glanced at the battalion commanders in the headquarters and said in a deep voice:

"What is the sure way to win in a war? It is to use tigers to fight sheep! Use the strong to bully the weak! Therefore, no matter how weak the enemy is, we must fight with all our strength and strive to break through the Jiannu's defense line in one attack. Don't worry about losses.

.Use the most determined attack to destroy the slaves and disintegrate their resistance!"

"yes!"

When the battalion commanders left one after another, Zhu Guoqiang, who left the command bunker, saw that in addition to the troops ready to go, there were also hundreds of Korean civilians who had been recruited. After entering North Korea, in order to ensure military supplies, the Pinglu Army hired

A large number of civilians, these civilians did not use poles to carry supplies, but carried various supplies on backpacks. In addition to the backpacks, they also pushed wheelbarrows - in addition to wooden boxes for loading artillery shells, there were some

The ammunition box, which is nearly one meter long, contains Hale rockets.

Not far from them, there were more than a dozen gun carriages. Different from ordinary artillery carriages, there were many iron tubes mounted on them, five on a layer, for a total of four layers, less than 20 launch tubes!

Looking at those rocket launchers, Zhu Guoqiang's lips curled up - this was an unexpected gain. In order to meet the needs of imported technology, Zhu Guoqiang provided the arsenal with a large number of books translated by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and other institutions in the 19th century. In addition to introducing steam engines and machine tools, the books

In addition to machinery and equipment, there is of course a large amount of weapons information. After all, the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty was just that – foreign guns and cannons.

A month ago, when he went to the arsenal, Zhu Guoqiang accidentally saw this "cyclone rocket" - a cyclone rocket made by Heller.

Front, rotating on one side...it is actually the legendary Hale Rocket, and it is also in its ultimate development form.

Looking at the launch tubes on the ground, Zhu Guoqiang naturally lit a few rounds with great interest. In his opinion, this kind of 19th-century rocket is very scientific, and the range is just a little closer. In fact, in this era, the range is 2 or 3

Kilometers are not that close, so Zhu Guoqiang borrowed the multi-barreled structure of modern rocket launchers and created a twenty-barreled rocket launcher. It is very powerful when hitting close targets and is suitable for fire coverage and psychological strikes.

Of course, this kind of rocket is not perfect. If the rotational propulsion nozzle fails, the rocket may fly around and even hit one's own head. But even so, Zhu Guoqiang still ordered the construction of twenty multi-link "Cyclone Rockets"

"Launchers and 10,000 rocket rounds.

The current Jiannu Defense Line in Pyongyang happens to serve as a testing ground for this kind of "whirlwind rocket" - the whirlwind rocket. This name was not named by Zhu Guoqiang. It was a name translated in the late Qing Dynasty. Perhaps it was also based on the fact that it was like a whirlwind when launched.

Generally violent characteristics.

Yan Ermei asked curiously as she watched the North Korean coolies dragging the "Tornado Rocket" launch vehicle.

"Your Majesty, those cannons are "Cyclone Rockets". This cannon truck is light enough that two people can drag such a big thing away."

"The biggest feature of the "Tornado Rocket" rocket is that it is light and easy to carry. In addition to such multi-tube launchers, there are also single-tube launchers. Compared with cannons, it is also very cheap. Now the arsenal has developed rolled thin iron plates

With the advanced technology, the cost of manufacturing rockets has dropped a lot,"

The so-called technology is actually an earth rolling mill that uses train axles as rollers. That rolling mill borrowed some design concepts from earth rolling mills in special periods. Perhaps by the standards of the 20th century, that kind of equipment was too crude, even

The products produced are also not qualified products.

But in this era, its appearance is like coming out of nowhere, solving the production problem of thin plates. The source of raw materials for breastplates no longer needs to rely on another world. Of course, the quality of raw materials in this era is definitely not as good as that of other worlds.

aside.

In fact, Dalian has now begun to manufacture some crude mechanical equipment, including those from the 19th century and indigenous equipment from special periods. It is these equipment that allow Dalian to step into the industrial society little by little, although this industrial society is different from the relative

Primitive, and seemingly inconspicuous. However, he will eventually reveal his power.
