Chapter 344 Objections

After Yang Yuanzhao told Feng Yuxiang in detail what he knew, he emphasized the synergy of the infra-cannon and artillery and barrage of Xu Jin. Feng Yuxiang looked at Yang Yuanzhao with a strange expression. He never expected that Yang Yuanzhao knew so much. In Feng Yuxiang's view, Yang Yuanzhao was a scholar and a very powerful researcher. He was a good at studying things and had very strong commercial capabilities. Otherwise, he would not have created such a great career as Baotou. In his opinion, Baotou's city scale and technological level are probably not worse than traditional industrial cities like Shanghai and Tianjin. It is even bigger in terms of vitality and scale than the other two cities. Especially after the machine factory and steel factory were built, it also became the backing of the new army. Only with strong economic strength can support the training of the huge army.

The ability in business and science is strong enough. On the other hand, on the other hand, in military terms, he only had a slight understanding. At most, he had a theory of winning firepower. Everyone knows this. Automatic weapons and artillery are good. The Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900 clearly demonstrated this. A cavalry of 20,000 people attacked a team of thousands of people and was defeated by automatic firearms and artillery. He was also a witness of this battle. He attached great importance to this point. As long as conditions were met, he would enhance his vitality.

However, now, Feng Yuxiang looked at Yang Yuanzhao with some admiration. Radio call artillery fire and radio command are really unheard of. As long as you think about it a little, it is clear that the effect of timely call and the fire support in the rear are to a certain extent, just mechanical attacks are often before the opponent takes over the position or attacks the position. An attack with a certain degree of fire suppression will generally not be used during combat or when the enemy is unknown to us, otherwise it is easy to be injured by accident.

After knowing the actual situation before, such as the distribution, density, and even some firepower points, the artillery fire will be removed at a fixed point under the command of the radio, which represents the power of the artillery. I don’t know how much larger than before. In itself, the firepower of the Baotou New Army is already the best in the whole world. Once this is added, the fierce firepower base, coupled with accurate guidance and bombardment, the strength of the Baotou New Army will not only double, but also be a complete improvement.

Feng Yuxiang's mind changed countless thoughts and finally said, "Yuan Zhao, this way. I will prepare a group of people, and even let most officers above the battalion take time to study radio. There is no need to tell the basic knowledge of sending newspapers. We only need to concentrate on learning the role of radio. We will discuss his tactics in groups."

Yang Yuanzhao nodded. This is exactly what he hoped to see. Only when he truly realizes his strength and uses the new technology thoroughly can he truly play his role. This is for Feng Yuxiang to see this thing, so as to make him pay attention to it. As the commander of the new army, the officers understand, master, and even discuss it. The fundamental reason for playing the important role of radio. As an outsider, he plays the role of on-demand or reminder. If he really wants to play the role of radio in the system, he really needs the army itself.

After notifying Feng Yuxiang, Yang Yuanzhao felt relieved. The newly made radio station was taken back. No one could use it when placed here in Feng Yuxiang. It was just a decoration. It was better to take it back for simulation or concealment. After saying goodbye to Feng Yuxiang, he also returned home and summarized some rough knowledge of information warfare, as well as what he knew, the role of radio and information in the modern army. It may not be comprehensive and represents one shining point.

For example, with the help of scouts or special forces, we go deep behind enemy lines, use optical or other advanced means to accurately detect the opponent's military and firepower arrangement, and then use radio to guide the artillery behind to attack. If it is a 75 gun, this is nothing. Its attack range is only a few kilometers. In this case, the goal can be achieved directly with a telescope or direct aim. However, the 105 howitzer and 155 heavy gun are absolutely strategic weapons, and the range is far higher than the 75 gun. In this case, the previous 75 gun attack method is still used to attack. The 105 and 155 battlefield coverage area and long range cannot be exerted. However, if it is too far, Hudiao, the 155 gun is very powerful, but it is nothing compared to a war zone of several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers.

Radio command, to a certain extent, solved this problem. 105 and 155 can be distributed in batches and arranged in a wide area or even in the rear. Once heavy fire support is needed in the front, it can reach within a few minutes. Its power is much larger than before, and its safety performance is much stronger. Not to mention China, even the great powers, army artillery fire exceeding 100 mm is quite expensive and important. Once the enemy's artillery group finds an opportunity to eliminate it, the battle will not be needed. It can be defended from being farther from the battlefield, and it is almost at its peak.

After Yang Yuanzhao left, Feng Yuxiang became happier and happier. Almost immediately, he called Shi Congyun, Wang Jinming and Yan Xishan to inform them of the situation. After listening to Feng Yuxiang's introduction, Wang Jinming and Shi Congyun didn't say much. They were used to Yang Yuanzhao's magical and even more powerful things. They had seen Yang Yuanzhao do it. For example, two years ago, Yang Yuanzhao told them that he wanted to build a Chinese Ruhr in Baotou, but he still didn't understand what the Ruhr represents. It was only after Yang Yuanzhao explained that Yang Yuanzhao had done all this with his practical actions. Perhaps, he was still a little different from the Ruhr in Germany, but in a sense, he was already on the road.

Among the four division commanders, the only one who had never had a direct deal with Yang Yuanzhao, and even in many aspects, they were heard about Yan Xishan. After listening to Feng Yuxiang's story, they put forward some different opinions.

His fourth division is a new division, with the smallest number of veterans among the four divisions. With his training and command, his combat effectiveness is not low. Lu Shi's training is good. Yan Xishan himself is also very spiritual and is very tight to grasp basic things. However, during the training and tasks, Feng Yuxiang discovered a problem. Yan Xishan was obsessed with Lu Shi's education, and therefore, it was difficult to accept new things. According to him, Lu Shi did not have similar training, so he could not conduct targeted training. The radio was fine. If it was really useful, it would be better to use it. Radio commanded artillery, which was not a joke about the safety of the soldiers.

Looking at Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang was a little speechless and asked: "How strong is Lu Shi's support firepower? How powerful is it!"

As a professional soldier, Yan Xishan still knows some Japanese artillery. I briefly introduced that Japan also has heavy artillery, at least 100 mm or more. However, after not being arranged, most of them were arranged similarly to the Beiyang 75 artillery, with unique, or even strict operating procedures. This is a great gain that Yan Xishan has obtained from Lu Shi. The Fourth Division also came from behind because of these foundations and strict management, and became the most powerful among the four divisions of the new army.

After hearing Yan Xishan's words, Feng Yuxiang patted his head. According to what he knew, although Japan was one of the emerging powers, it had always lagged behind the powers in terms of technical equipment, especially heavy artillery. Japanese artillery of the same caliber is not only the largest weight, poor stability, and prone to problems, but also has the most recent range. The range of the 105 gun is even similar to the range of the original 75 gun from Germany. There are very few 155 guns. I am afraid that there is one heavy artillery corps in the country, which has not reached the level of division. In this way, military academys that train ordinary non-commissioned officers and lower-level officers cannot be exposed to these.

The 105 and 155 guns obtained by Yang Yuanzhao were either naval guns. The British may have strict control over China in terms of army weapons, but naval weapons, especially second-rate cruisers like the Haiqi, didn't care about them at all, so they also had first-class guns with excellent quality. Yang Yuanzhao started from the two aspects of Britain and Germany, and modified them with the help of vision. Based on the 155 heavy artillery of Britain and Germany, it modified the barrel, strengthened the barrel ratio, and improved the range, and made at least one section stronger than similar 155 guns. With a coverage range of 10 kilometers, it can accurately shoot the target, with extremely small errors. Even if it exceeds 20 kilometers, it has a certain accuracy.

The difference in range of 5 kilometers will make the power very different, not to mention the layout and battlefield control capabilities of 10 kilometers or more than 15 kilometers. To a certain extent, the 155 gun truly has a strong deterrent power and becomes the king of army artillery.

These are really inconvenient to explain to Yan Xishan. Do you have to take the 155 Japanese heavy artillery and make a vertical comparison with the northwest. The 155 heavy artillery is a national weapon. If it weren't for Baotou's channels, it wouldn't be possible to get it. Feng Yuxiang smiled bitterly and solemnly said to Yan Xishan: "I don't care how many problems you have. You will know when you go. What do you think, keep it all, and study it seriously when you go. I know this is something that changes the structure of the army. If there is any problem, I will talk about it when you come back!"

Yan Xishan disagreed, but the military's duty was to obey orders. He obeyed Feng Yuxiang's orders. According to Feng Yuxiang's statement, he was anxious about the personnel above the battalion, and in the artillery unit, he dispatched cadres above the platoon to gather the personnel together, waiting for a special lecture tomorrow, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to expose Yang Yuanzhao's diorama and let him see that professional soldiers are not something that they officials can afford.
