Chapter 4038: Concentrated fire

Loma, inside the training ground of the Scipio Army.

The Loma soldiers were still advancing in accordance with the tactics of platooning guns, advancing slowly and steadily, carrying the flintlocks with bayonets, which looked alike. The Loma soldiers marched steadily.

"What is this training?" Scipio asked the staff officer aside unhappily after seeing this situation when he came to the barracks. He was completely dissatisfied with the current training situation. When equipping the flintlocks, Li Fu almost subconsciously proposed such a training program. However, for the first time, the Loma received full training with weapons and equipment, so they only Acceptable, after all, they have never equipped so many weapons on such a large scale, but the current situation is that the new situation has undergone a big change, and this change is enough to cause a big crisis in their situation, this crisis Is real.

"This situation currently meets our requirements. After all, we have just begun to train troops with firearms." Li Fu waved at this time to signal the staff to leave temporarily. He can solve such things.

"This can't work. The situation has changed a lot. You can see. Hannibal's expeditionary force is equipped with a large number of artillery and machine guns. Their power is very terrible. Instead, I think Fabian's situation is right. Because we can’t fight them head-on at all. I just got news that one of our troops set up a frontal line of defense. As a result, the expeditionary army used fierce artillery to open a hole. Extremely fierce firepower, we simply The inability to withstand the opponent is a sneak attack. The barbed wire also gave us a lot of trouble. Our sneak attack could not be completed at all." Scipio said.

"Well, if this is the case, we won't be able to proceed at all." Li Fu nodded and said.

"So, this kind of tactics has completely fallen behind. We can't do things like this. We have to make changes, completely change, and in the face of such a situation, we can only make ourselves more adaptable to the times after we change. Development, this is what we should do right now," Scipio said.

"If we move forward in this formation, we will not be able to reach the opponent's position at all, and we will be completely shot and killed. This is to die. I have checked some information. I know that you have more advanced tactics, skirmishers. Tactics, this requires soldiers to continue to advance and cover, but the poor firing rate limits the use of such tactics. This is the fundamental point of the contradiction." Scipio said worriedly.

Scipio is an officer, he is very concerned about military matters, because this is what he should do. He is a corps officer of the Lockheed Martin Army.

"I noticed. The skirmish tactics require a higher rate of fire of the rifle. However, as far as we can see it, we are still unable to achieve such a goal. Moreover, with flintlock rifles, the accuracy of the rifle is also very poor. Fighting under the circumstances, it is impossible to use the power of scattered troops. Therefore, what we need in the next step is to concentrate firepower and exert greater firepower superiority." Scipio said.

"I agree with this point, but if we do this, we need a lot of funds to replace weapons. The Senate will not agree with this point, you know, financial funds." Li Fu said. Scipio has realized the importance of weapons. Because of its technology, even the use of skirmish tactics is difficult for flintlocks to give play to their firepower advantage, because this advantage is relatively non-existent and meaningless. , And only by solving the technical problems of firearms, all problems can be solved to a greater extent. For example, with intensive firepower support, the rifle can exert its advantages on the same scale.

Scipio and Li Fu have noticed such problems now, but it is quite difficult to solve such problems, because there are many things that cannot be done.

"Such a situation cannot be completed, you know, we don't have so much funds to allow us to do such things, and many things cannot be carried out." Scipio said.

"Then, we have no way to solve such a problem. You know, this has a relatively large impact on us." Li Fu said.

"Well, I know this problem is difficult to solve, but in such a situation, we think we can think of ways, or use some tactics to accomplish our tactical goals, do you know? Some tribes, city-states, they actually We can buy weapons that are more advanced than our equipment from the arms of the Aiji smugglers. If we can get such weapons, I think we can solve many, many problems." Scipio said of Austria.

Seeing that Scipio was still worried about weapons, Li Fu sometimes really wanted to help the other party solve such problems by himself. However, his funds are also very limited. It can be said that it is difficult to get a salary. To solve such problems.

"I thought of a way." Li Fu thought about it and said it.

"We can collect the weapons of several battalions and sell them to some city-states, because they also need some weapons. These weapons are obviously not enough for offense, but they can defend. There are no problems with defense. They also need some weapons. We can sell such weapons to them. In this way, many problems can be solved." Li Fu said.

"After selling to the city-states, we got the funds to buy some advanced weapons and equip only one battalion and one company among them. In this way, the firepower will be concentrated. Our rate of fire problem has also been greatly resolved. "Li Fu said.

"But the problem is, my other battalions have no weapons. What kind of weapons do they use to fight, do they fight with each other with bare hands? Oh my God, in this case, our losses will become extremely severe. Amazing. This is definitely not conducive to our fight. Under such circumstances, I am opposed to doing so, because it is extremely detrimental to us." Scipio said.

"We gather all our forces. As for the others, we can reorganize them into other combat troops, or we can buy some other weapons, cheap, such as hand grenades. In this way, in terms of lethality, they There are also advantages. We can give full play to our fighting skills. In this case, they are still useful." Scipio said.

"Although there is a lot of risk in doing so, I decided to give it a try. After all, this is the only thing we can do." Scipio said.

"Agree, I agree with this point, after all, this is the only thing we can do." Li Fu said. Lack of necessary weapons and equipment, backward equipment, these are important issues restricting the Roma army’s further military reforms. However, they can be flexible. If their Senate knew to do so, they would not know how to deal with Scipio. What kind of situation is formed. After all, they are a firearms unit, and a firearms unit lacking weapons and equipment cannot be called a combat unit.

Chu State, Wuyue Economic Zone, in the southeast of this economic zone, because the coastal, humid, and cold climate is not suitable for agricultural development here, but warehouses and factories can be built here, plus the remote location and cheap prices , Most of the handicraft workshop factories will choose to build their own factories here.

It’s not very far from the pier, but the road is more difficult to walk, fortunately there is only one section.

As for other facilities, they are relatively complete. There is a power line passing through the economic zone, which can basically meet their electricity needs, and there is a tap water pipe to meet their basic needs, and water and electricity are available. The construction of the factory will happen naturally.

There were still a few families here, but now they have all moved out. Why, because the situation here has changed a lot. There are many factories and plants here, and there is a lot of noise every day, which makes them feel very annoyed. In the long run, many people can't stand it. They can only move out of here, or sell their own houses, or else It was built into a factory building, sold to those craftsmen, and then moved into the city with the money, where the living conditions are better and more convenient.

"Squeak." The sharp voice sounded again, and this time it lasted longer. For them, it was another day of torment. The motor drives the machine tool, and the machine tool starts to work. The drill bit and the metal make a harsh rubbing sound. Working under such loud noise for a long time will make people extremely unbearable, but there is no way that many people are tolerating it. If they can't stand it, they will There is no work to be done. This is a handicraft workshop in Chu State. They produce weapons, imitation Zhao Guo Li’s rifle. This rifle has excellent performance and good shooting effect. There are large-scale imitations and manufacturing in many areas. Qi State, Both Chu and both countries used this as a blueprint for large-scale imitations. The caliber of the bullet is different, in order to prevent the use of ammunition on the battlefield.

However, in some other regions, their demand for rifles is very large. For example, in Persia, the warlord's melee has made the arms business extremely prosperous, and the formal channel transportation of a large number of arms business has been monopolized by the big businessmen. The war zone also wants to get some cheap weapons. This low-cost weapon workshop has become the best choice. Of course, they also have some quality problems, but the advantage lies in them. They have a great price advantage. This is their greatest strength.
