Red Hua Zhenji gave Kong Tiaobei and Wei Anpo a hard look, but the two men didn’t have any fear. The Kong Tiaobei showed a little provocation in his eyes.

Speaking of the first place, Hua Zhenji, Zhao Dongyun, pretends to be the first place, but he is not the first place. Although Wei Anpo has a slightly inferior position, he can be personally selected by Zhao Dongyun as the only mortar officer in today’s field, which is naturally a courageous role.
Hua Zhenji looked back from them with a cold hum, and then turned to Zhao Dong Yundao. "At the head of the adult, the development trend of cavalry in the world has been very obvious now. With the further enhancement of firepower, it is difficult for my cavalry to launch a charge simply by relying on the impact of horses, and the defense of heavy machine guns in the war of" Ma bu "or horse stance just look is acceptable, but the offensive ability is extremely thin.
In addition, the drum cavalry is usually far away from the root in wartime, and it is impossible to get artillery support from the rear. It is necessary to increase the offensive ability of our riding team and equip it with light and easy-to-carry artillery
At the same time, in the Napoleonic Wars, cavalry in all countries were equipped with light cavalry guns to increase the offensive ability of cavalry. My cavalry has been limited in scale and equipped with a large number of cavalry guns by law, but now this mortar can never be delayed! "
After listening to Zhao Dongyun, there was no such moment as the heated debate among various arms. No matter what he had in mind, he couldn’t say it, even though he had already decided how to equip mortars, but he still wanted to put it on the table for you to discuss together. The best result was to control himself to get a result he wanted instead of directly refuting himself and making his own plan.
As the leader of the third town, he can’t express his preference for one faction in this public place.
In fact, there are some small factions in the third town now. If someone is so sure, there will be factions. Those who are at the top of the mountain should do a good job, that is, balance this faction so that factional strife will not affect the development of the whole body
For example, Yuan Shikai is a master of playing faction balance, and the Beiyang factional strife is very serious. However, Yuan Shikai’s control of these factional strife has not produced any negative factors, but has further promoted the development of Beiyang style, as evidenced by the fact that the Beiyang Standing Army has developed from a mere left town in 191 to four towns of Beiyang Standing Army.
Duan Qirui, Wang Yingkai, Feng Guozhang and others struggled. Finally, Yuan Shikai laughed and watched the situation climb to the top of the country step by step.
Nowadays, the third town is also called factional strife. For example, Chen Guangyuan was born in the ninth bid. Most of this part belongs to Wang Yingjie, Feng Guozhang and others. After Zhao Dongyun’s strong rise, they were promoted to the third town. Naturally, they quickly abandoned Wang Yingjie and Feng Guozhang and turned to Yunmen, Zhao Dong, while they and Zhao Dongyun’s original office, such as Kongtiaobei Peilianying and Lin Yong, were wrong. Naturally, they United around Chen Guangyuan to compete for interests.
For example, some officers from the newly-built machine gun battalion, some officers from the coordination department and many officers from the town department, most of whom belonged to Zhao Dongyun in his early days. However, many people here can be regarded as a loose group, but they cannot be regarded as an interest group. There are a large number of civilian officers in the education department and supervision and training department of Lin Yongshou, which can be subdivided, to form a staff school.
And Kong Tiaobei and Pei Lianying joined hands to form an infantry officer faction.
In addition, there were some people who took refuge in Zhao Dongyun during the Third Association, including Hua Zhenji, Liu Tinggui and others. However, Hua Zhenji has now joined Meng Enyuan’s first cavalry faction, and Liu Tinggui is also an artillery unit claiming to be an individual.
Because the third town was not established for a long time, it is not obvious whether this faction is a kind of intention of officers to fight for interests or arms for the Lord
Zhao Dongyun naturally knows about the assignment of his hands, and his handling method is also imitated by Yuan Shikai, that is, to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai Island and implement a balanced strategy while secretly guiding the results of the debate to develop in the direction he wants, while he himself will not easily get involved in factional disputes.
See Zhao Dongyun didn’t speak. I won’t make a decision first. You argue first. At this time, Chen Guangyuan and Meng Enyuan Liu Tinggui naturally no longer care about anything. First, they spoke with their own hands. Then Liu Tinggui couldn’t help but refute Pei Lianying’s words, which led to Chen Guangyuan’s rebuttal, and Meng Enyuan also inserted a few words from time to time over there.
For a while, the mouth was watering in the meeting room, and all parties waved a lot of documents and materials in their hands, trying to prove their views so that Zhao Dongyun could make a decision in his favor.
Wang Zhanyuan, who had neve participated in such a scene, was frighten!
He didn’t say a few words when he went to those military meetings. The chief officer had already made a decision. This kind of saliva was flying everywhere. At this time, he saw Meng Enyuan just stopped and Liu Tinggui took a sip of tea. "Brother Meng, I also agree that the cavalry is really lacking in offensive firepower. It is understandable to want to emulate many western cavalry artillery teams. However, our army’s start-up troops are in short supply, and this mortar head has not been raised by our third town. Although it is a month, However, the bandits have made a dozen thousand dollars, but they can’t take out the mortar surface all at once. If Meng Xiong’s cavalry is going to make a cavalry mortar team, I have no opinion in principle, but I must never move the original mortar! "
Meng Enyuan heard that my heart was so angry that if Zhao Dongyun hadn’t sat on his head, he would have been angry.
Chapter one hundred and four Mortar Equipment Plan
Meng Enyuan choked back his anger and snorted heavily. "I got more than 100,000 taels of silver from the bandits, but it took me more than a month to get it back. When my cavalry brothers were fighting hard in the north and bandits, Liu Tinggui could stay in the military camp!"
Liu Tinggui did not show weakness. "It seems that Wei Anpo mortar team played just like you two cavalry battalions."
Hole jams north is also timely inserted, "I don’t hand the first camp also played, however, the war is my third town ministries have participated in major military action when became Meng Xiong you a person!
"You …" Meng Enyuan listened and gave Liu Tinggui and Kong Tiaobei a hard look at these two sharp-tongued people. He Meng Enyuan was speechless at the moment. Finally, he turned to Zhao Dong Yundao. "Adult mortars are of great significance to the riding team. You know …"
Meng Enyuan’s showing grievances and asking for affection is already very obvious. Speaking of fighting, he is a good player, but today he is not the opponent of those young people in this kind of fighting for interests. He knows that he will entangle with Kong Tiaobei and Liu Tinggui again, and I am afraid that the cavalry will not get a mortar. He can also ask Zhao Dongyun for help if he has to.
Zhao Dongyun saw it and had to glance over the hole and Liu Tinggui to signal them not to be too presumptuous!
Then I pressed my hand, but then my eyes turned to Wang Zhanyuan. "Brother, just now, all your colleagues have said a lot. Do you have any opinions on this mortar?"
When Wang Zhanyuan heard it, I couldn’t help cursing in my heart that I could have a fart opinion. Before today, I didn’t even know what a mortar was. After listening to it for more than half an hour, everyone argued that although I knew a little about the simple situation of mortars, I didn’t have any opinions from a distance.
But look at today’s situation, it is obvious that cavalry, infantry and artillery are fighting for the ownership of mortars. No matter what opinions Wang Zhanyuan has or whether he is from Wang Yingkai, first of all, he is the commander of the Sixth Association, but he is a serious infantry officer. He must maintain his troops like Chen Guangyuan.
So he said slowly, "I don’t know much about mortars. Today, I will talk about some superficial ideas. Although I haven’t seen mortars in kind, from the oral information of my colleagues, the gun has a short range, fast firing speed and is light and easy to maneuver.
During the extra war, it is necessary to launch artillery to support infantry warfare at any time. If it is still under the jurisdiction of artillery, I am afraid that there will be delays and the continuation of fighters. I suggest that mortars be assigned to various infantry units under the direct command of our infantry officers, so as to give full play to the advantages of mortar mobility, convenience and proximity to shooting. "
Wang Zhanyuan’s point of view has been just said by Kong Tiaobei and Chen Guangyuan that he just repeated this point of view, but he can be pushed to the Sixth Association by Wang Yingjie, and even if Wang Yingjie recommended it, Yuan Shikai can abandon his candidate and choose him, which naturally has other advantages.
"Besides, I heard from Zhao Zong just now that Fuzhou Machinery Factory has developed smaller or smaller caliber mortars besides the existing 10mm caliber mortars. I wonder if these two new caliber mortars are 60mm and 120mm. I’m afraid the weight of this caliber mortar is three or four hundred kilograms. Naturally, it is not suitable for the pacesetter to carry along with the army, but the artillery team can compile a fire support battle in a large-scale battlefield!
The 10 mm mortar weighs nearly 100 kilograms, but it is still not easy to carry in the battalion, and the amount of equipment required for each battalion is relatively large. It is not as good as configuring a mortar battalion, four teams and three teams in each infantry standard, and a total of twelve cavalry standards can also be properly assigned to a battalion.
Another 60mm mortar, which is extremely light and can be carried directly by soldiers without horses, can be put directly on the infantry team, which can greatly increase the firepower of the grass-roots infantry in the third town! "
Zhao Dongyun was a little surprised after listening to Wang Zhanyuan’s words. This man is more flexible in thinking. He hasn’t said 60 mm 120 mm mortar equipment yet. He is more sensitive to observing things than himself from the discussion just now!
Zhao Dongyun nodded. "It’s good to say that mortars are good. We naturally want to develop mortars with different calibers, which has constituted a multi-level strike fire. Fuyuan Machine Factory reported to me a few days ago that they had developed 120 mm and 60 mm mortars. Among the designers, 60 mm mortars are simpler. They have made a sample gun. The ordnance department has gone to Fuyuan Machine Factory to inspect the performance data of the sample gun. If there is no accident, they will place an order for the gun with Fuyuan Machine Factory in the near future!"
Liu Tinggui’s face is full of expectation. "What about the 120 mm mortar? I wonder if they have developed it?"
Zhao Dong Yundao: "The caliber of this gun is slightly larger, and the requirements for the barrel are relatively high. Fuyuan Machinery Factory is still doing preliminary research and development. It is estimated that it will take some time to produce a sample gun!"
Liu Tinggui’s face was full of disappointment after listening to it. Unlike the 10 mm 60 mm mortar, the 120 mm large caliber mortar was destined to be his artillery. He was naturally disappointed if he could not develop the artillery in the standard.
At this time, Zhao Dongyun glanced at Lin Yong. "I also asked the Education Department to make a mortar equipment plan the other day."
Lin Yong hasn’t spoken in this meeting since he made a white speech. He is different from Chen Guangyuan and Meng Enyuan. He doesn’t work in the field army, and his hands are also a group of civilian officers. However, it is natural that there is no need to participate in the struggle for grassroots units in the third town staff officer.
After hearing Zhao Dongyun’s instructions, Lin Yong said, "According to your instructions, the Education Department has made several mortar equipment plans!"
At this point, Lin Yong turned over a thick folder, and the mortar equipment plan formulated by Lin Yong, the general office of the Education Department, naturally could not be the same as that of the chief officers of these units. Just talk about the problems that he needs to consider in his plan, not only tactics, but also the officers and soldiers needed to purchase mortar units for later training. At the same time, we must also consider the impact and changes caused by mortars to the existing infantry tactics, and give the infantry a change to adapt to the solution.
Of course, these problems are not those that the army chiefs can say in a few words. You know, there are more than a dozen professional staff officers in the Education Department who are in charge of the mortar equipment plan, especially those members in the Supervision and Training Department under the jurisdiction of the Education Department. Most of them are young officers with trained backgrounds. They are all the same.
Moreover, the plan made is as detailed as possible, ranging from the number of shooters to the number of artillery gunners, to what equipment the mortar commander should be equipped with, and what matters should be paid attention to in wartime, from the coordinated attack tactics theory of mortars and infantry to the coordinated operation of mortars and field guns.
If the various arguments of the Education Department are combined, it is estimated that it can go through hundreds of pages of mortars, and the documents in Lin Yong’s hand are just the master plan after summary.
