Chapter 733: Iron Fist Exercise

"Charge!" After advancing about six hundred steps, the officer of the Qi army gave a loud order. Then a neatly formed army began to disperse, rushing towards the Yan army garrison like a tide.

The distance between the Qi army and the Yan army was about a thousand steps. This was the starting position of the infantry. After advancing six hundred steps. Keep the distance between the two sides between three hundred and four hundred. This distance is considered appropriate for the army's charge. The physical quality of soldiers in the Warring States Period far exceeds that of later generations. Because of long-term manual labor. So there is no major difficulty in physical strength. However, people in later generations have lower and lower physical requirements because they are engaged in industrial production and commercial activities. Therefore, the same long distance is not very difficult for the Qi army soldiers in full armor. Moreover, after running fast, Qi army soldiers still have a certain amount of physical strength to fight.

"Qi Jun rushed over. We can't fight." Yan Jun yelled nervously when he saw Qi Jun who was overwhelming and shouting to kill.

"Fight, what to use, can you fight with this broken spear?" Yan Jun's old flintlock rifle was shot and killed within fifty paces. Its firing range is not as good as the valve rifle commonly equipped in the hands of the opponent's Qi army. The shooting range of the valve rifle is between eighty and one hundred paces. Moreover, the shooting accuracy and operability far surpass the weapons equipped in the hands of Yan Jun.

"Kill." Qi army soldiers charged desperately. The soldiers held guns in both hands, bayonet ahead. Run fast. In order to boost morale, they all shouted "Kill." "Chong Ah" and other words. This is very important to boost morale.

But Yan Jun could only watch Qi Jun rush over. They couldn't even shoot and intercept them. Their artillery was unable to fire because of rust, even if there was no rust, it was difficult to fire because of insufficient preparation of the shells.

In terms of rifles, their rifles are in very bad condition. Less than two percent of the equipment in the division can be fired. This ratio is quite small. The machine gun, because it requires professional machine gunners to operate. This thing didn't even come out directly. Even if there is, it is just a display.

"Qi Jun rushed over. It's just **** follow me to learn something." Officer Yan Jun shouted loudly. The other soldiers were more nervous, looking at the Qi army rushing over at a loss. They didn't know what to do next. Whether to fight or not, they themselves don't know.

"Hurry up, take the white flag. We are ready to surrender." Yan Jun's officer shouted loudly. The officers had already figured out a countermeasure before firing the gun, that is, not resisting and surrendering directly. Only when you surrender can you survive, and fight, there is no chance of survival at all.

You know, this is war, and bullets don't have eyes. The bayonet came as soon as he said it. Cannonballs are even more deadly.

"Come on." The soldiers of the Qi army came as soon as they said.

"We surrendered. We surrendered, and the white flag was shot." The white flag was passed from Qin Jun. Because there is a rule in the infantry manual that you can avoid being killed by hitting the white flag. The white flag is mainly used for battlefield negotiations and surrender. As for why the white flag was hit, they didn't know. Qin Jun himself never studied this one, and they thought it was useless.

But for Yan Jun, this article has learned home. They believe that this article was made for them. But they didn't know that the person who made this article was Shang Wen. When the infantry manual was compiled, this article was absent, because the Qin army rarely surrendered. However, Shangwen believes that surrender is not a major event, and that the value of human beings, especially in the industrial civilization, has become more and more obvious. In order to effectively preserve the value of his country’s people, Shangwen is in the last time. This is added to the Infantry Manual. In other manuals, especially the manuals of the Heavenly Army and the Navy, it is clearly stipulated that soldiers can surrender after destroying their weapons, without any chance of survival, and without any meaningful resistance. Playing the white flag is more from the habitual practice of the West.

Yan Jun didn't know why the white flag was fought, and they didn't know why the white flag was fought. They only knew. Playing the white flag can survive.

"We surrender, we surrender." When Qi Jun rushed over, almost all of the soldiers in the Yan Army raised their hands, and the officer was still holding a white flag in his hands to signal surrender.

"We surrender. We don't fight. We surrender. Don't kill us." The officer looked nervously at the Qi army soldiers who rushed over.

"What to surrender. Go and die." A Qi army soldier rushed towards the officer with a bayonet-mounted rifle.

"Boom." A gunshot sounded. An officer of the Qi army killed the officer holding the white flag with one shot. As for the Qijun officer, the officer with the white flag was really inhumane, panicked, fearful, and timid, and he was very annoyed at first sight.

"Let's surrender, don't kill us." The other Yan Army soldiers watched this scene nervously at the rushing Qi Army.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me." Yan Jun soldiers shook their heads, begging Qi Jun soldiers.

Such a scene left Qi Jun at a loss. The soldiers of the Qi Army rushed over with murderous aura, but the Yan Army surrendered without any resistance, which made the soldiers of the Qi Army not even knowing what to do.

More and more Qi Army soldiers rushed over, their pace slowed down, and they looked at these nervous soldiers with their bayonet rifles, and kept saying "Don't kill me." Yan Army soldiers.

"Shut up, shut up." A still panting Qi Army veteran stepped forward with a gun **** and knocked a nearby Yan Army soldier to the ground. Then there was a kick.

"Shut up." The veteran kept hitting with his foot or the **** of his rifle.

"Enough. Don't fight." Qi Jun officer intercepted. The other Yan Army soldiers were even more frightened. This is the first time they have experienced such a scene. Qi Jun held his bayonet rifle murderously and looked at the Yan Jun prisoner of war with his hands raised.

"Okay. We won't fight anymore." The officer intercepted.

"Get all these prisoners of war away." The officer looked around, and now the top priority is to resolve these prisoners of war. Instead of stimulating these prisoners of war to pick up their guns again for a second round of resistance.

"Collect all the guns of these prisoners of war." Qi Jun commanded loudly.

And Yan Jun's guns were all on the ground at this time. They had thrown away their rifles long ago.

The soldiers of the Qi Army began to search one after another, and then grouped the Yan Army prisoners into custody. However, it was not that Yan Jun did not resist, but that this kind of resistance was very meaningless.

While the soldiers of the Qi Army were searching for prisoners of war, some soldiers of the Yan Army spontaneously fired. But their resistance was soon suppressed. The Yan army, which has a large weapon generation gap in terms of firepower, firing speed, and lethality, is simply not an opponent of the Qi army.

"I knew it, we should let our infantry rush over." A Qi army officer said dissatisfied.

"It's not necessarily. If we don't have a burst of artillery bombardment, it is estimated that the Yan army will choose to resist." Another officer argued.

Regardless of which view is correct, the fact is that more and more Yan Army prisoners of war have turned into long lines to move forward. And there are more people joining in. This army of Yan Nation no longer exists. Qi Jun was victorious.

On the day the Yan Jun surrendered. The Qin Jun and Zhao Jun started large-scale military exercises in their respective pre-set exercise areas. The Qin Jun and Zhao Jun’s exercise code-named "Iron Fist".

The "Iron Fist" military exercise was planned as early as when Qin State and Zhao State jointly emptied Yan State's finances.

"We should complete the mobilization of the military forces in the Yan State as soon as possible. In this way, we can enter a proactive and advantageous position in the future. We will not let our two countries enter a state of helplessness and let the Qi people form a state of fact." Li Mu wrote Sent such a report to Qin’s staff.

Wang Jian also has this view. Only the existence of military power can prove the common attitude of the two countries, so that they can take the initiative in the strategic situation. So Wang Jian immediately agreed with Li Mu's views. And began to discuss some specific issues in detail.

After five days of intense discussions, Qin and Zhao jointly formulated the "Iron Fist" military exercise plan. The purpose of the exercise is not just to test military combat capabilities. At the same time, the military deployment is also completed. From the current point of view, the completion of military deployment is far greater than the former.

With the help of the plan of military exercises, the Qin State mobilized two infantry regiments and one artillery regiment from the First Infantry Division, the First Cavalry Brigade, and the Second Infantry Division to the northern border of Yan State and the western border of Zhao State, namely Taiyuan. s position.

Moved here, you can use the developed railway network to complete the force projection. As long as the State of Qin gives an order, the army can be dispatched on a large scale, maneuvering to Handan of Zhao State, and then from Handan to the east, it can attack the flank of the Qi army from the side.

It's not just Qin Jun. Zhao Jun also launched exercises, and elite troops from the west began to recruit a large number of recruits. It will take some time for these troops to change their outfits before they can attack. And the other side. Zhao Jun has not only used a large number of direct combat forces. At the same time, a large number of engineering units were deployed to the east.

The order Li Mu gave to the engineering unit was simple. That is to build roads. Constantly build all kinds of roads. Because, only after the road is repaired, can the next logistical supply be completed. After equipping a large number of gunpowder weapons. Logistics is increasingly valued.

Therefore, the first problem of war is to solve the problem of logistics supplies. For this reason, Li Mu took this opportunity to integrate Zhao's original engineering units. This integration is to integrate the original small units of engineers into a regiment-level scale. Taking this opportunity, Zhao's engineering force will be greatly developed. . Li Mu is an all-rounder. He knows that in future wars, the capabilities of these auxiliary arms will be enormous.
