Chapter 524 I will appear in person!
This kind of gun, which is even half a person tall and weighs only more than 500 catties, is the latest gun developed by nearly 100 Western technicians and Chinese technicians on Crab King Island, ** spring re-propelled howitzer.
However, there are only twelve guns in total at present, and this time to bring this new gun to the battlefield, it is naturally to test its power in the northern plains. However, to be honest, in the process of developing this kind of artillery, Liang Pengfei's men are only 70 mm for this caliber and the weight of the firing ammunition is only 8 pounds. I really don't have much interest in artillery.
After all, the mortars of the Liang army are divided into three different types of mortars in terms of caliber: 60mm, 80mm and 100mm, and the shelling effect of the largest 100mm mortar has also made the commanders of the Liang army very satisfied.
And Liang Pengfei now has this strange artillery, with a caliber of 70 mm, but the weight is several times the overall weight of the mortar. In addition to relying on animal traction, it is impossible to rely on manpower.
This kind of artillery made Liang Pengfei's subordinates quite complain. They felt that Master Liang had another cramp and foolish these things.
But what Master Liang wanted to do, and who could persuade him to move, and Liang Pengfei, who was so angry, swept all the guys who wanted to chatter under the table. If you don't want it from the army, I'll make it for the navy to play. I'm greedy for you guys.
And when Liang Pengfei threw the development and future prospects of this new artillery and various materials in front of these fools, these guys were all dumbfounded. The accuracy of this kind of artillery is above the mortar, and its range is far greater than that of the mortar. The hidden surname of the artillery is stronger, so that the artillery can be more Safe distance, artillery coverage of hostile targets.
In addition, mortars are mainly used as battalion and company-level artillery support. Although the weight is light, there is a serious problem, that is, the caliber is not large and the attack ability is insufficient, just like when attacking Fuzhou City, the number of mortar shells consumed is considerable.
In a word, the mortar is good, but the artillery is not bad. More importantly, the combination of the two types of heavy firepower will greatly lift Liang Jiajun to a step in terms of long-range fire support.
... As a result, under the repentance of those army generals, correcting the past and flattery, they finally obtained the priority of using this new type of artillery.
--------------------
At least if the navy wants to use it, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while. After all, warships are not as good as land, and the guns used naturally need to be redesigned. An important reason is that Liang Pengfei considers that the current replacement rate of warships is too high, so the research and development of naval guns is mainly based on experimental surnames.
After all, in this era, with wooden sail warships as the main warships, still relying on the intensive shooting of artillery and relying on artillery to cover the winning naval battle era, it is simply bullshit to install large-caliber long-range naval guns. It is very likely that even the enemy did not fight, and its own warships fell apart first.
However, at present, the Crab King Island Naval Laboratory has still made a certain breakthrough in the development of naval warships. At least although the warships made with old welding technology cannot be built too large, their durable surnames and defense surnames are indeed a great leap forward. .
As for the weapon locked in this flagship tail building, it is Liang Pengfei's favorite weapon that weighs more than a hundred catties than the cannon placed on the deck: the water-cooled heavy machine gun. The birth of this weapon is equivalent to ending the heavyweight notes of the cold weapon era, and it can even be said that it is finally the cold weapon era. The period.
This is the most wonderful gift that Liang Pengfei brought to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. I will appear in person." Liang Pengfei rubbed his fingers and tasted the heavy metal rhythm of the test machine that day with a happy face. It was really wonderful to the extreme!
In addition, according to the knowledge in the mind of Liang Pengfei, the traveler, the research work of generators has made breakthrough progress, and lead-acid batteries have also made progress. However, the power of the current generator is really not very good. In addition, under the current situation, the practical surname of the lead-acid battery is equal to zero, but the dangerous surname is very high. However, it is highly praised in the laboratory on Crab King Island.
Because with these two things, many experiments can finally be carried out smoothly, especially those scientists engaged in metal smelting and extraction.
When Liang Pengfei's fleet went up the river and went straight to the outside of Tianjin City, the cavalry division had already out, and the warships collapsed one-third of the wall of Tianjin City along the river with their dense artillery. Then, the Marine Corps and the cavalry division that arrived earlier and the one in the sky were already at a distance. With the cooperation of the special division that landed five miles away from Jincheng, it was unexpected and easy to take down the Tianjin city.
It was not until this moment that the soldiers seemed to wake up completely. They had really come to the north. They had captured Tianjin, the gateway of Yanjing. They were only 300 miles away from Yanjing. The base camp of vampires who had been riding on the Chinese nation for more than a century was already close!
"Ahabao, the general of Tianjin Town, the defeated general, see your excellency." He was dressed in a general's robe and was broken in several places. He didn't know where the official hat on his head had flown for a long time. He didn't know whether he rolled countless times on the ground on his face or climbed a few kilometers in the gutter. In short, the blood stains and scars on his face, coupled with his frightened eyes, made Liang Pengfei feel that this family The gang is like a tenant who came to the bully landlord's house to borrow grain. Well, it makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.
Liang Pengfei looked at the Tianjin general soldier who knelt in front of him and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, you don't have to do this. Today, Liang came to visit Tianjin, but the soldiers under the general soldier were really a little blind and actually blocked me from the city. There was nothing I could do. I had to knock into the door and come in, and I hope you won't be surprised? Ha ha..."
"I dare not, I dare not." Ahabao raised his head with a sad face and replied. Looking at the anti-thief Liang Pengfei, who led the army and broke through Tianjin City in less than two hours, he really couldn't find any suitable adjective to describe how he felt when facing this guy.
However, it is certain that he let the black rebels pull out of the cellar. Since he did not kill himself at that time, it means that he may still be a little useful, so he has been guessing Liang Pengfei's intention to leave his own life.
"Don't be nervous, my lord, I won't kill you. At least now I'm not interested in killing a straw soldier who hides in the kiln and cries with his wife's thighs." Liang Pengfei took a cup of hot tea from the white scholar's hand and took a sip. Looking at the Tianjin wharf full of Liang's soldiers who were lining up, he didn't even look at the Tianjin general.
"I'll leave you a life to let you eat and drink well and rest for one night to refresh yourself. Tomorrow you will set out with us, and we will send you to Yanjing City, waiting for me to play in Yanjing City. I will let you say a word for me to your emperor Qianlong. It has been long enough for a full of people to ride on the heads of our Chinese nation. They'd better take the initiative to roll down and surrender to me unconditionally. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind using 1,300 cannons to let the whole Yanjing City and more than 57,900 flagmen in Yanjing City burn the city.
--------------------
I heard that he could live and let himself send a message to Qianlong. Ahabao knew that his old life had been saved, but after hearing the content of what he wanted to bring, Ahabao felt that there was something wrong with his ears, or whether the guy in front of him was crazy.
1,300 cannons sound really scary. Tianjin City let them take them down without much effort. It can be said that their artillery is really scary, but the problem is that the walls of Yanjing City are much stronger than Tianjin. Besides, the city defense and artillery of Yanjing City also far surpass Tianjin City.
Don't forget that there are nearly 80,000 green battalions stationed in Zhili Province, not to mention that although more than half of the soldiers and horses have been sent to Shanhaiguan in Yanjing City, there are still 50,000 forbidden brigades and eight flags in the capital.
With tens of thousands of people under his hands, does he really think he is a fairy? At least in Ahabo's mind, Liang Pengfei's words are equivalent to bragging about the cowhide. Arrogant and arrogant, as if only these two words can be worthy of the rebel in front of him.
"Don't worry, at that time, your emperor will consider my words very seriously, because before that, I will let them enjoy a beautiful massacre."
After the general was taken into custody, a group of staff officers under Liang Pengfei began to continue the unfinished issues. Yanjing City is divided into inner and outer cities, and the inner city is all based on the Eight Banners and defends the Imperial City. There are Han people living in the outer city, and its gates are divided into inner nine, outer seven, and imperial city four. In addition to the three gates of the inner city in the south, the seven gates of the outer city and the six gates of the inner city, there are a total of thirteen gates. If we count the cavalry divisions, that is, five divisions with an artillery brigade and thirteen gates, what should we do?
"The inner city wall of Yanjing City is about 12 miles wide from east to west, and about 11 miles long from north to south. The outer city is located in the south of Yanjing City, and the perimeter of the outer city wall is 28 miles. If we take four infantry divisions, one division is responsible for one direction, and the cavalry division is the mobile force. In addition, the artillery brigade strengthens the combination of the inner city and the outer city, and the two regiments of the Marine Corps are responsible for controlling Beicang in the north of Tianjin and Dong'an County to ensure the smooth flow of our logistics..."
"In a word, Yanjing City, we have to eat it. Whether it's fried or fried, we have to serve it in one pot!" Liang Pengfei finally made a summary at dinner.
