The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 876: Where are the engineers?

"Damn it. You **** artillery are blocking our way." The infantry captain slapped the artillery who were struggling to push the heavy artillery with a leather whip.

"Papa." The leather whip lashed fiercely on the coat of the artillery. Fortunately, the coat of the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Yan worked well and was not opened.

"Mother. Why beat our artillery." An artillery sergeant immediately grabbed the whip and asked loudly.

"Go away, the little sergeant dared to question the officer's question." In a place with strict ranks like the army. The power of an officer is always greater than that of a soldier. The sergeant is the head among the soldiers. But in front of the officers are always soldiers.

"Bang." Then there was another shot. An artillery captain came over with a smoking revolver.

"You **** get out of here. I'm the one. I take care of myself. Why do you beat me?" The artillery captain came over with a gun.

"You dare to hold a gun and point to me." The captain of the infantry also drew the pistol.

"Wow." Then, the artillery also picked up their rifles one after another, and pointed their short-barreled rifles at the officer.

The infantry in the distance saw that the situation was not good. He immediately surrounded him with his gun. Some of their soldiers also had bayonets. The situation on both sides was at a sudden dagger. The Qin army not only fought against each other in the service, but also the arms struggle within the service was very fierce. The infantry looked down on the artillery and believed that the infantry had to provide cover for the artillery, while the artillery believed that the infantry was useless, and the power of the infantry was far less powerful than that of the artillery. The cavalry became a buffer zone in the middle because they had the advantage of speed, but after the emergence of a new type of weapon such as machine guns. The cavalry became the ridicule of the arms.

Qin Jun’s intentional competition is actually a process of internal mutual learning and mutual progress. It is precisely because of this. King Qin had always turned a blind eye to the vicious competition within Qin's army. Even military courts are lenient. Moreover, afterwards, in the name of legal provisions, two units that competed against each other were transferred separately, sometimes. He did not hesitate to dismantle a reorganized unit for replacement. The effect of this kind of competition is obvious. Qin's combat effectiveness has always maintained an excellent state.

The Prince Army completely accepted Qin-style military education, and this kind of competition was naturally brought by the Qin Army to the Yan Army. But what Yan Jun has learned is obviously a bit off. Because this kind of internal competition tends to evolve into internal fighting and infighting within the military.

"Why are you blocking our way?" the infantrymen shouted loudly.

"Damn, Grandpa's heavy artillery is stuck on the road." The artillery shouted loudly without showing any weakness. Moreover, the guns in his hands point to the infantry from time to time, meaning to let the infantry be honest.

"I'm your grandpa." The infantry responded immediately to the insulting language of the artillery.

"You are my grandson. Called Grandpa." The artillery started yelling again.

"You say one more thing." As he said, the infantry gave the artillery a butt.

"Fight." The artillery did not show weakness. Go forward and start the fight immediately. Buttstock. belt. Everything that can be used is used. But the soldiers are not bad. They were restrained and did not use their rifles to shoot, otherwise it would cause extremely serious consequences.

Those artillerymen who were beaten were the first to take the brunt and knocked the infantry captain to the ground. A group of people frantically beat the officer up. The infantrymen fight on their own, regardless of the life or death of the officer, who let the officer treat his subordinates roughly. This is the end.

The soldiers who were beaten by the infantry themselves did not participate, they just looked from a distance, to them. This kind of battle is meaningless at all. The only thing that makes sense is to watch the artillery beat his own chief. They also secretly cheered up the artillery brothers.

For a time, the infantry and artillery battled together into a regiment. You punched me. Double shots are difficult to separate.

"Dudu. Dududu." Just when the artillery and infantry were fighting. The princeling army gendarmerie, which hurriedly arrived on horseback, rushed over immediately.

They blew the sharp whistles in their mouths. They first warned the soldiers who were still working with their whistle. Don't do it anymore.

Sure enough, the two-shot soldiers who heard the whistle stopped suddenly, turned and left. Because once caught by the gendarmerie, it was a severe beating and a beating in vain. If he didn't say anything, he had to be confined, and the food was very poor.

"Ah." But some of the soldiers were fighting and didn't want to stop at all. The soldier under his command deliberately reminded him, but he ushered in a severe beating.

"Bang Bang." Then, the military police dismounted one after another. When they saw the fighting soldiers, they beat them with wooden sticks in their hands. The military police were composed of personal soldiers, and their attacks were extremely vicious. They attacked the bones, and if they were hit, they would fracture or bruise. All in all it is very uncomfortable.

"Ah." Just all of a sudden. A fighting infantry was knocked out.

"Boom." There was a loud sound. The sticks were also discounted all at once. It can be seen how ruthless this force is.

"Run." Seeing the soldiers who had been fighting so many fights by the gendarmerie, they ran away all at once. The soldiers who had risen to fight were sturdily beaten by the military police.

This matter is handled in this way for the time being. Be beaten severely by the gendarmerie. This kind of thing has subsided. But the problem remains unresolved. The poor road condition has always affected the ally formed by this ally.

It's not just Yan people who are using this road. And Zhao Jun himself is also using this path.

The strongest part of this road is simply rammed with rammed earth. However, this road has been unable to withstand such a large-scale military deployment. In some places where the dirt roads are naturally stable. After being crushed by artillery, infantry, cavalry, and even armored fighting vehicles. The road has long since become potholes, and the melting of snow has repeatedly crushed it. It became a mess in a few seconds.

The roads of the State of Zhao can no longer withstand the repeated use of such a huge army. With the upgrading of weapons, the army has become more and more dependent on logistics, especially after the rise of firearms. The demand for this kind of baggage replenishment is increasing. However, Zhao's road conditions have not improved a little. Still staying in the era of farming civilization, this time, this fast-growing Allied force has slowed down.

The infantry can only walk slowly on both sides of the road. The artillery, cavalry, and heavy-duty convoys can only travel **** such dirt roads. The bumps along the way caused this group of soldiers with high morale to fall greatly.

"Damn the broken road." The soldiers of the Yanjun Crown Prince complained and cursed.

"Fuck, these officials don't repair roads either. Both of my boots were broken." A soldier of Zhao Jun stopped and re-laced his shoes.

"This is not a way to go on. The road conditions are really bad." A lieutenant colonel of the Yanjun princeling checked the marching conditions and said. They soon reached the territory of Zhao State, and then set off from Zhao State to enter Yan State. However, starting from the eastern part of Zhao State, it became difficult for them to walk. Especially those artillery troops, their artillery is difficult to advance fast on this kind of road. Worst of all, after being trampled by the cavalry, the road became unusually soft and the snow melted. Many artillery pieces fell into the mud, and they could no longer pull the cannon out of such a quagmire.

"Where are your engineers?" Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Jun asked, who was discussing the problem together.

"They are still at the train station, your train station in Handan," said the lieutenant colonel of the Prince Army.

And heard such an answer. Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Jun was a little surprised. Because this answer was beyond his expectation.

"Why are you still at the train station?" Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Jun asked.

"Because our engineers specialize in digging trenches and building fortifications. We are offensive. The people above think that we are not as useful as transporting more infantry. Therefore, those engineers stopped in Handan." Said without concealing it.

The engineers of the Prince Army specialized in learning Qin's fortification system. In a short period of time, their engineers knew how to build the fortifications in a strong, reasonable and perfect way. However, they will not build roads. To repair the bridge, because the time was not up to date, they all hurriedly learned something and then transferred to the military front.

"Then your engineers," the lieutenant colonel asked at this time.

"Our engineers are already very tired. They not only advance fast, but also carry a lot of explosives. They can't build such a road." The lieutenant colonel said directly.

Hear these. The two lieutenant colonels smiled at each other.

The traditional army did not pay attention to the role of engineers at the beginning. They one-sidedly believed that infantry should be specially built fortifications, which is a heavy physical task. Many infantrymen are reluctant to do it themselves. Therefore, they believe that engineers and soldiers are hard work. As a result, the engineers of the Prince Yan Army did not pay attention to it.

And Zhao Jun also didn't pay attention to it either. In their view. Engineers are also soldiers, and their main task is to participate in battle. It is impossible for them to stop and not participate in the battle. this is not right.

In this way, two different understandings made it impossible for them to use engineers to build their roads, allowing them to advance quickly to reach the designated location.

The attention of the engineers and soldiers only got attention in the Qin army, and the Qi army was still in a fuzzy stage. Only a few troops of the Zhao Army strengthened the engineers. This unit is Li Zuoche's paratrooper battalion. He believes that the role of engineers cannot be replaced by other arms. Because the engineer and the marching war are directly linked to everything. In fact, sometimes, not only fighting, routes, and engineering facilities are also an important part of warfare. It is precisely because of this that engineers and soldiers will pay such attention.
