For a long time, the Wehrmacht has had a tradition.
That is, senior generals like to go down to the grassroots level and give direct command.
The advantage of this is that it can thoroughly implement the will and intention of the entire army, ensure that the entire army is directed in one place, and greatly improve the efficiency of combat.
However, after Zuo Menggen learned about it, he issued a clear order prohibiting this behavior.
It is good to improve combat efficiency, but when senior generals take over the command, it will definitely infringe on the authority of junior officers and hinder the progress of junior officers.
The birth of any famous general must be tempered through hardships and setbacks.
Only when the waves wash away the sand can you get real gold.
If senior generals keep doing this, the officers below will definitely not get training.
If things continue like this, there will definitely be gaps in the talent pool of the National Defense Forces.
Now the senior generals are still very young, so it doesn't matter. But what happens when they get old?
Under this order, the first person to execute it was the 12th Division.
Blocked in front of a mountainous area, watching the enemy rushing towards them overwhelmingly, the officers of the 12th Division showed no fear, but instead felt excited.
There is no mother-in-law above their heads, so it is up to them to direct how the battle is fought.
Although I am a little nervous, this is the step that a man must go through to build a successful career.
The regiment leader Wei Xiaochong stood on the front line, level with the musket array.
Although it was very dangerous here, his actions of taking the lead greatly stabilized the morale of the troops.
"Order all artillery to fire covering the enemy."
The weapons and equipment of the National Defense Forces are always making progress, never resting and never being satisfied.
With Zuo Menggeng, a military master, the development of the National Defense Forces will never lose its way.
Although the achievements made by the empire today are enough to be proud of the world and surpass the ancients, making many people very proud.
Only Zuo Mengeng knew best that what was going on right now was really nothing.
The scientific and technological achievements of later generations are all earth-shaking.
What he can bring to the country and nation is to guide the Chinese nation in the right direction, so that the Chinese nation can progress and progress further, and always be at the forefront of the world's nations.
The result is that the weapons and equipment of the National Defense Forces are updated and iterated very quickly.
For example, regiment-level combat units are now equipped with rocket launchers.
Of course, compared with division-affiliated rocket launchers, regiment-affiliated rocket launchers are much smaller in terms of caliber, range, and power.
The caliber of the regiment's rocket launcher is only 76MM, and its range is up to 1,100 meters. Its power is even slightly inferior to ordinary infantry artillery.
However, the short-term coverage shooting characteristics of rocket launchers are unmatched by other artillery, and therefore they have become a useful supplement to grassroots combat units.
This kind of rocket launcher is very small. It is made of nine thin iron tubes and rubber tires, making it very light.
In plain areas, one soldier can push it; in rugged areas, it is not difficult for two soldiers to drag it.
This is very helpful for coordinating infantry maneuvers.
Followed by an ammunition supply cart pulled by a horse, it will not hinder the advance of the infantry at all.
Regimental-level combat units will be equipped with a rocket launcher battery, plus a light rifle battery, increasing the number of artillery pieces to forty.
This scale is unique in the world.
In addition, each company also has a mortar squad equipped with five mortars.
In this way, the firepower of an infantry regiment is absolutely terrifying.
Following Wei Xiaochong's order, the artillery of the 48th Regiment unleashed its power.
The sight of rockets roaring across the sky has always been spectacular and terrifying.
The situation where the enemy could see it but had no time to escape happened again.
Fireworks suddenly bloomed on the narrow plain, thunder exploded, and the steel wind and iron rain were invincible wherever they passed.
The shogunate troops that were still charging disappeared in pieces, and the wailing cries of the injured holding their broken bodies added to the horror.
Date Masamune felt cold all over when he saw the situation ahead.
As for the weapons of the National Defense Force, let alone him, every Japanese is extremely envious.
However, over the years, Japan has sent countless spies, but nothing has been found.
The empire only sold Japanese bronze cannons.
That kind of artillery is a supreme weapon against other enemies, but when fighting against the National Defense Forces, they don't even have the courage to use it.
Not to mention, there are no artillery among his troops.
Breaking through the obstruction of the 48th Regiment with flesh and blood is the only hope for survival.
After the extreme fear, Date Masamune went completely crazy and didn't care about anything anymore.
"Everyone charges, those who retreat will die."
One of the better qualities of Japanese people is that they are obedient.
Although the artillery fire of the National Defense Force made them extremely frightened, under strict orders, they still kept pace and launched the pig attack tactic towards the 48th Regiment.
No matter how powerful the artillery is, there will always be times when the barrel becomes hot, right?
No matter how powerful a gun is, it will always malfunction, right?
Seeing that the shogunate army did not flinch, the soldiers of the 48th Regiment could only lament that these people were seeking their own destruction.
The Japanese had no idea that not only had the artillery of the 48th Regiment been strengthened, but their muskets were also different.
Unlike other units, the 12th Division has not participated in combat and has always been stationed on Xiayi Island.
And this stability brings one big benefit.
That is, the 12th Division became the second unit to start replacing firing needle guns after the 2nd Division.
The 48th Regiment was the first in the 12th Division to undergo a change of equipment. Currently, the 105th and 106th Battalions have been replaced with striker guns.
So that other troops were so angry that they complained one after another...
The big brother is actually worse than the little brother.
Wei Xiaochong naturally knew the complaints of his brother troops, and he could not make any excuses. Only through this battle could he prove to everyone that their 48th regiment could bear the love of the division headquarters.
When he set up the formation, he fully considered the characteristics of the striker gun.
Therefore, he arranged the two Miner rifle battalions, the 103rd Battalion and the 104th Battalion, into a musket array to conduct a frontal blockade.
The soldiers of the 105th and 106th Battalions were scattered on both sides and in the gaps in the musket array to make up for the firing gaps of the musket array.
Coupled with precision shooters and snipers, the 48th Regiment's rifle firepower can be said to be watertight and watertight.
When the shogunate troops rushed within 300 meters, the muskets of the 48th Regiment began to roar.
The gunshots of the musket array were uniform and uniform, and the sound shook the fields, like the wind blowing wheat. Every time a round was fired, the shogunate's army fell to pieces.
In the gaps between the musket arrays, the shogunate's troops who slipped through the net often fell to the ground in astonishment amidst the scattered and crisp gunshots before they had time to rejoice.
No matter how brave the charge of the shogunate army was, when the artillery and musketry of the 48th Regiment never stopped, the steel was tilted towards them like a violent storm.
The shogunate's army was like moths flying into the flames, stubborn and desperate, and eventually turned into ashes.
Their number became smaller and smaller, and eventually they all merged into the earth.
Date Masamune stood blankly, losing all consciousness.
Looking around, he was surrounded by dead bodies, and there was no soldier left who could still fight.
Looking at the approaching National Defense Forces, he didn't know whether his roar was pain or relief!
