Chapter 661: Break up

"Suddenly." A burst of machine gun fire. Torn the peace of the Western Regions at night. Two horse-drawn water-cooled heavy machine guns cut through the night and calmed down. The bullets whizzed down the Wusun tribe not far away.

On the other hand, the Qin Junlian flag was floating in the dark night. This is a company of Qin State cavalry. They are using their advanced weapons to take a sudden attack on a tribe of the Wusun people.

"Boom, boom. Bang." Three three-inch mortars fired one after another. Cannonballs roared past and opened fire among the tribe. Mortars, which were previously not optimistic, have begun to make their way onto the stage of history. The range of this curved artillery ranges from five hundred steps to two miles. But his firepower is much faster than ordinary artillery. The most important thing is that he is very light, lighter than all rear-loaded artillery. As a result, this artillery was quickly taken seriously, and infantry and cavalry units began to equip a large number of weapons that can make up for the lack of firepower of infantry and cavalry.

However, this kind of mortar is far from the streamlined shape of the current mortar, but a cylindrical front with a pointed front and a round rod at the rear as the bottom propellant and primer installation. The shells are packed in a wooden box, which is also followed by a small wooden box, which contains the fuse of the shell.

"Boom. Boom." The cannonballs roared and exploded in the tribe. And the cannonballs are still flying far and wide. The advantage of slap artillery is to provide effective strikes in addition to infantry firepower. And it uses the front loading method, it is easy to complete a shot. Then shoot again to form a coverage. This kind of firepower is quite deadly.

"Suddenly." The Mala water-cooled heavy machine gun fired a deadly bullet. If the shells are not scary, then the machine gun is the deadly weapon. Qin's heavy machine gun uses the standard 500 caliber machine gun shell. The actual caliber of this bullet was later measured to be actually smaller than the NATO 12.7 mm bullet. But his power has not diminished much. Bullets that occur in succession are usually capable of knocking opponents apart from a distance. What's more, they are within the range of close-range shooting. Bullets can stop the whole person. This machine gun is more powerful than a mortar.

With the war in the Western Regions unfolding in full swing. In particular, the Southern and Western Regions basically entered a state of marching. Some of their troops crossed the Tianshan Mountains and began to attack the Wusun people who had just ended the Wusun war.

The war in the Western Regions is very peculiar. Due to the large area and sparse population, and the fact that they are all nomadic tribes, wars have not occurred on a large scale, because the style of nomadic wars is basically sneak attacks, relying on the mobility of light cavalry to achieve suddenness. The opponent is like this, which also determines that the Allied forces in the Western Regions will also be carried out in this mode. As a result, the corresponding Allied forces also adopted this tactic for combat.

The Western Allied Forces only retained a total cavalry of one brigade and one regiment. The rest of the cavalry and horseback infantry were all scattered in battalions and companies to advance. Especially for a batch of machine guns, the use of mortars has exacerbated this dispersal of forces.

The Qin army commander usually divides several areas, and then repeatedly throws several companies into the battle zone. Several companies rely on communication soldiers and liaison aircraft to establish contact. Then a continuous search was carried out after dozens of distances. The rear logistics system continuously sets up logistics supply points. When the company in front consumes almost the same amount of ammunition through a mobile sneak attack. They will stop and wait for supplies, and the troops sent in turns from the rear will take over. Then they will become supply points, and so on.

up in the air. The liaison plane keeps patrolling, and the pilot can check the battle situation in the entire area. In particular, some bold battalion-level officers personally checked the entire battle on the liaison plane. Then put the contact letter box according to the battlefield situation. In fact, the situation on the battlefield is delivered to nearby combat troops in the form of cans. After receiving the order, these combat troops begin to adjust and attack according to the markings on the map.

This is almost equivalent to cavalry wolf pack tactics. The liaison aircraft played a very important role in the army cavalry tactics. Just like this, the Qin Army's combat effectiveness began to greatly improve. Gradually, the tactics of the company-level skirmish maneuvering tactics were discovered.

With new weapons and equipment, coupled with the help of the heavenly liaison machine, the Qin army continued to attack the Wusun people with scattered forces. The use of machine guns and mortars allowed a company of only a hundred people. But it is playing the effectiveness of the previous cold weapon combat unit with more than 1,000 personnel. More important is the use of the communication machine. Let the connection between the troops become agile. This agility lies in the ability to mobilize several company-level combat units scattered around to intervene in the battlefield from other directions at any time. This increases the disguise of the battlefield forces at another level.

The battle started quickly. The Wusun people who were caught off guard began to retreat hastily, while the Qin army used a mobile platoon to defeat the opponent. The opponent couldn't withstand the fast-fired bullets at all. They can only retreat. But Qin Jun did not plan to take the initiative to attack. Because they know. Even if they are lucky enough to leave the area, they will encounter the attack of the Qin army company-level teams in other areas. This kind of offense is usually slowly consumed and eventually eliminated by it.

Until then, Qin finally found a suitable tactic to deal with nomadic cavalry, but this was not the peak period, because there was still a special technique that was not used at this time. That is the radio.

The high-tech battlefield, especially the change in communication methods, has made the Qin Army's combat units more and more scattered. The battlefield is no longer the kind of one-man show of large-scale army gathering large corps to fight. The combat methods of small-scale combat units formally stepped onto the stage of history. This is very similar to the "swarm." tactic proposed by later generations. Combat is like the continuous extension of a person's various bodies. The appearance of the Qin State liaison machine extends people's vision, smell, and taste, and the use of various weapons extends people's various functions. It's like the strength of a person's arms and legs.

The war is comprehensive. It is also a place that pays attention to high performance. The dispersal of troops in the traditional combat style is a tactical taboo, but this tactic has been adapted to the needs of the battlefield with the help of technology. This dispersal is not a taboo of the strategists. On the contrary, it is a way of changing the concept of the past mode and taking the initiative. Meet the changing needs of modern needs. This kind of bold use can only be used boldly by the new generation of generals of the Qin army, Wang Ben, Li Xin and others who are actively attacking.

Li Zuoche of Zhao Jun’s paratroopers also knew this. This kind of continuous fighting with only a hundred men made him become interested in small unit tactics.
