Chapter 870: Qi Jun is coming
This letter comes from the commander Mu Ying, who is Li Zuoche. Shang Wen still doesn't know that this commander Mu is the future Li Zuoche.
The content of this letter from Li Zuoche is very confidential. After a quick scan, Shang Wen re-wrapped the letter.
"Tell you Battalion Commander Mu, I have read his letter. He is solely responsible for military matters, and I will not intervene." Shang Wen clasped his fists and said to the Lieutenant Zhao Jun.
"Yes, sir, I will convey your meaning." The lieutenant saluted.
"En." Shang Wen nodded. Then the lieutenant turned and left.
The content of this letter relates to future combat plans. Shang Wen didn't know the specific combat plan of the battalion commander, but he currently had no good way to defend the entire city, and he was in security considerations. Shangwen still needs some reports from the major, or his defense plan is considered practical.
But Li Zuoche was busy training the Yan militiamen who had just been recruited, and had no time to report in any form. So he wrote his plan in the letter.
After Shang Wen read it. Suddenly felt much more relieved. Therefore, he completely handed over the military commander to the Major Mu in his heart.
At this time, Li Zuoche was undergoing a series of military training.
"This is an old-fashioned flintlock. If you want to load the bullets so quickly." A sergeant Zhao Jun is teaching the Yan militia how to use flintlocks to shoot. The Yan militia surrounded by this sergeant had only five or six people.
"It is very difficult to make people who can only work, eat, and sleep take up weapons and fight wars." Li Zuoche said when inspecting the recruits of Yan's national soldiers.
In their eyes, what Li Zuoche saw was a daze. They don't know anything. For warfare, especially the new battlefield where a generation of weapons is replaced. The civilians of Yan Country simply don't know what will happen.
Li Zuoche can only accept this, and then change them.
In order to speed up the training of these militiamen. Li Zuoche made some procedural changes.
"First, we have limited guns, but we also have to teach the militia how to shoot. Next, we have to teach them how to avoid flying bullets. And how to use flexible tactics to defend the area they should defend." Li Zuoche thought. It is not expected that these militias can defend the city in a regular defensive battle. Therefore, he decided to continue to develop his tactical advantages.
The development of the city gave Li Zuoche a new combat platform, and the appearance of this platform reduced his requirements for the quality of soldiers a lot. As long as you can hide and shoot, you will use what you can use to kill your opponent. That's it. This is the prototype of urban street fighting. Although such a similar thing has happened before, it does not indicate that the urban street fighting has matured.
Zhao Jun is teaching the Yan National Soldiers how to operate the weapons in their hands in an orderly and fast manner. At the same time, Zhao Jun is also teaching them how to avoid flying bullets.
"Well, we just learned how to shoot and kill the enemy. Now, what we have to learn is how to use to avoid flying enemies. Then we shoot and kill the enemy." A corporal taught his soldiers. .
"In the city, there are many walls and many windows. These invisibly provide us with fortifications." The corporal said, pointing to nearby buildings and houses. These houses are of masonry structure. Some use reinforced concrete structures. Although houses with rammed earth structures can still be found in the city of Yandu, they have all become history and have become living places in the slums of the city. An army has no interest in the slums of a city. What they are interested in is occupying these tall, wealthy areas constructed with the latest building materials.
"Sir, what are fortifications?" a Yan national soldier asked.
"A place where you can shoot back even if you evade," the corporal explained.
Yan's militia still shook his head. The Yan Nationalist had never been in contact with war before. Although they may be recruited temporarily. But that was also before. However, with the restructuring of the army, the army has gone from being a full-fledged army to the current professionalization of soldiers, and many roads need to be sold in the process. But these roads in the middle are precisely where Yan Guo jumped directly. After the professionalization of military personnel, many Yan people have actually been exempted from military service, but labor service has not been exempted.
"Damn it." The corporal cursed a little annoyed.
"This is where you can hide. Don't be killed by the opponent's bullet. Do you understand?" the corporal said.
However, the Yan militiamen nodded their heads in a seemingly understanding way.
"You will understand when you are on the battlefield," the corporal said. On the battlefield, no one will teach these, but the enemy will teach them well.
"Okay. Let's continue." The corporal started his course, he wanted to teach the Yan militia how to distinguish the enemy from his own. Then avoid how to attack opponents in those buildings. Then save yourself effectively, this corporal still knows how to save himself. However, it is not known whether the other sergeants of Zhao Guo taught this.
Besides. Zhao Jun began to select their backbone among Yan's militia. Temporary officers and sergeants. And issued a temporary armband made of white cloth as a mark. . Then, they will gather these selected temporary officers and sergeants and teach them some of the most practical things on the battlefield.
"What is in front of you is black powder. These things, as long as one piece of them are bandaged, are enough to kill a person, so this thing is very dangerous. Of course. This is also a very bearable weapon. You are the elite of the militia. , Naturally it is possible to receive these things. If you give these dangerous things to your subordinates, I am very worried." A lieutenant Zhao Jun said to these militia elites.
"Okay. Stop talking nonsense, this is the fuse, this is the explosive bag. Later, we will teach you how to wrap the explosive bag. But now, we want to tell you a concept." The lieutenant took out a watch. .
"This is a mechanical clock made by Qin State. He can accurately reflect the time of day. This machine is very punctual," the lieutenant said.
"This is the fuse." The lieutenant drew the fuse at this time.
"I don't know the length standard of the country you are using, but I tell you that this is the standard length of Qin State. One foot, the burning speed of this foot is probably a little more than two seconds. What is this concept." Lieutenant Then he took out the clock.
"Drip, drip." The lieutenant made two drops in his mouth.
"This is two seconds. Of course. The fuse can be made very long, but I don't recommend you to do this. The usual practice is to make it three feet long. Or four feet long, but now, I recommend you to make the size Change it to three feet. It's good for me." The lieutenant walked back and forth to tell them the concept of time. Some of these people have seen it, but some have never seen something like a clock. It is the first time that they have come into contact with a clock and it is the first time that they feel the real existence of time.
"If you want to accurately grasp the explosion. The most important thing is to accurately grasp the time. Time, you must have the concept of time." The lieutenant said, turning around and picking up the clock to give them time.
"In your feelings, there must be a second, this time unit concept, do you know it?" the lieutenant shouted loudly.
"Okay. Next, I need you to be able to accurately feel for five seconds, and then I can teach you how to use these dangerous and powerful explosives." The lieutenant shouted.
Immediately, these militiamen began their new course. Feel the time of five seconds. And the other end. The militiamen of the Qin State seemed a little relaxed.
They are simply organized. Then they were scattered to various streets to guard their own positions. Their task is to do everything possible to guard the buildings they defend. The commands are simple and practical. Because in the street fighting. A building is a strong fortress as well as a strong fortress.
On the other hand, the regular troops of the Zhao Jun and the regular troops of the Qin Army concentrated their forces to defend the entire train station. The train station was the most effective place for them to communicate with the outside world and preserve their strength. The location here is very important. And Shangwen's office was also moved here nervously from the concession area.
More than 20 miles south of Yandu, two Zhao Jun scouts saw what they most wanted to see.
"You said, can someone like us defend the big city?" a scout asked.
"I don't know, but I know that there will be many Qi troops in front of us." The scout said.
"Da da da." The two scouts stopped talking, and they concealed in the grass to check the situation.
"Drive, drive." Four or five Qijun cavalry rushed over on the asphalt road.
"Hu." Near the two scouts, they stopped suddenly. The strange behavior of the cavalry made another Zhao Jun scout alert.
Another scout held his gun and shook his head. Instructed him not to shoot.
"The road built by the people of Yan is quite flat. Walking on it feels bumpy at all." said a cavalryman.
"En. It is indeed." Another cavalry said.
"How far are we from Yandu?" a cavalry officer asked.
"It is estimated that there are more than twenty miles." This time. A cavalryman sat up and looked at the blurred city shadow and said.
"There is nothing in the surrounding area," asked the officer-like person.
"Probably not." A cavalry replied.
"Okay, let's go back and report the situation. The army will arrive later." As they said, the cavalry marched away.
"Da da da." The sound of horseshoes gradually faded away.
"The Qi army brigade is about to arrive." Zhao Jun scout said.
