Chapter 158 Field Artillery
Wei Jichen snickered secretly in his heart. He took the gold and silver because he needed some money for activities. After all, these days, things are easier to do if you have money.
After leaving the door, Wei Jichen waved and said softly to Hu Zi: "Find a hidden place to hide most of the property inside, and confiscate the rest."
Huzi winked and said with a smile: "Yes, sir."
Wei Jichen knocked his head in a funny way and said, "What are you thinking about? The buried money will be given to the brothers who are injured and have no livelihood in the future. Don't think about it randomly, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
"I understand, sir." Huzi replied with an undiminished smile.
Wei Jichen nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I guess the others will be coming to the government office soon, so you have to move quickly."
Hu Zi naturally responded.
Wei Jichen walked back to the government office hall, and Nie Guilin, Ma Jinxu and others walked in with cheerful smiles.
"Wei Shuai, this time we have made another great contribution. I'm afraid the reward from the court will arrive soon." Nie Guilin's old face was wrinkled into chrysanthemums with laughter.
A sergeant brought tables and chairs and served tea. Several people sat down one by one, with Wei Jichen sitting at the top.
Wei Jichen saw the smiles and joy on everyone's faces, so he couldn't help but take the opportunity to say: "We have recovered Gaiping, and we are not far from Fuzhou. The headquarters of Shandi Yuanji's First Division is stationed not far from Fuzhou." As long as we capture Fuzhou, which is far away from Jinzhou, our army will be in danger."
Wei Jichen wanted to continue the attack, but unfortunately some people had different opinions.
As soon as Wei Jichen finished speaking, Jiang Guiti whispered: "Shuai Wei, you know the situation of our Gui Zi Army very well. The last battle in Ququgou resulted in heavy casualties. If there hadn't been a series of victories later, the sergeant would probably have been killed. They ran away without a trace, so I, the Gui Zi Army, take advantage of this time to rest for a while, otherwise I, Lao Jiang, would not lead them to fight the Japanese, but would lead them to die. "
What Jiang Guiti said was right. Since his Gui Zi Army was newly recruited, most of the sergeants had not yet learned how to shoot properly. Jiang Guiti hoped that he would have some time to train these recruits.
Nie Guilin also continued: "Commander Wei, let's rest for a while first. After many days of marching and fighting, the sergeants are already exhausted, and we have already captured Gaiping, which is a great achievement. Wait until Commander Song comes from behind. Come, let’s send troops together, I think we can increase our chances of winning a lot.”
Wei Jichen looked at Ma Jinxu and Xu Bangdao again. Although the two did not explicitly express their opinions, Ma Jinxu said seriously: "Commander Wei, after several battles, our army has suffered a lot of ammunition losses, and the rear is temporarily unable to supply it, so ”
Everyone has their own concerns. Wei Jichen originally wanted to conquer Fuzhou in one go, but now it seems that it is better to take a break for a while. After all, their concerns are not unreasonable.
"In this case, our army will stay in Gaiping City for a while. Each army must restrain its sergeants and not disturb the people at will." Wei Jichen gave Nie Guilin a special look.
Nie Guilin smiled and took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.
"Wei Shuai, this artillery team." Jiang Xiyi rubbed his hands and asked a little embarrassedly.
Along the way of fighting, the artillery brigades of all the armies were under the control of Wang Shizhen. Jiang Xiyi and others also discovered that although this Wang Shizhen did not speak much, he was fair, knowledgeable, and well-versed in Chinese and foreign affairs. It did not take long to win over the artillery brigades. The respect and prestige are growing.
If things continue like this, I don't know if the artillery team will still belong to him and others. Therefore, as soon as the war is over, Jiang Xiyi starts to want to return to the artillery team.
Wei Jichen took a sip of tea and then said seriously: "Everyone, what do you think is the biggest change in our tactics in the past few battles?"
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on several people's faces, Wei Jichen continued: "Wei believes that even if the artillery team is used rationally, everyone has seen the power of concentrated use. If it is dispersed to various armies, can we still achieve such a great victory? ?”
Ma Jinxu nodded in agreement and said: "Commander Wei's words are reasonable. I think we should continue like this, and the training should be integrated into one army on weekdays, so that we can run together during war."
Nie Guilin was a little anxious. This artillery team was really like meat buns beating dogs. There was no return.
"Commander Wei, if this means we don't have an artillery team in the army, what should we do if we need to use it urgently in the future?" Nie Guilin asked with a sad face.
Wei Jichen said unhurriedly: "No one needs to worry about this. I will handle things fairly. Once the army needs it, we will dispatch the artillery team to cooperate. Think about it, a cannon with more than 80 cannons The artillery team cooperates with your attack, the momentum is so amazing, are you still worried about the enemy's failure? "
"Wei Shuai, that's not what I meant, it's just..." Nie Guilin continued to say in his heart, but why can't this huge artillery team be handed over to me?
Of course, he also knew it was impossible and could only think about it in his mind.
"Okay, okay, Sesame is such a big deal, I don't need to mention it anymore. From now on, our five-pronged army will be one. We will all be promoted and make a fortune together. Do we still have to divide you and me between us?" Wei Jichen waved his hand and said He said impatiently.
Ma Jinxu laughed secretly in his heart: "It's a big deal, you swallowed up other people's artillery in one bite.
Fortunately, Ma Jinxuren's army does not have many cannons, so I won't say much.
Nie Guilin and Jiang Xiyi looked at each other helplessly and could only give up.
The others discussed some other things, and seeing that it was getting late, they hurriedly dispersed to arrange the army's stationing.
Wei Jichen waited until everyone else left, and couldn't help but sighed. It seemed that this main task could not be completed.
The previous main task was to kill Japanese generals above the level of division commander, and after completion, he would be rewarded with 30,000 merit points.
^.^,
What surprised Wei Jichen was that after capturing Katsura Taro, the system had silently completed the task.
The new main task that appeared was: Recover three cities in a row. From the time of the task release, within one month, continuously recover three large cities occupied by the Japanese.
Mission completed: reward 100,000 merit points.
Mission failed, none.
Note: Due to the difficulty of the task, if only one city is recovered, 10,000 merit points will be awarded, if two cities are recovered in a row, 10,000 points will be awarded, and if three cities are recovered in a row, the full reward of 100,000 points can be obtained.
The mission was released the day before yesterday. Wei Jichen was still on the march at that time. He was excited for a long time when he saw this mission. Without saying a word, he led the army to Gaiping.
After getting 10,000 merit points, he began to think about the remaining 90,000 merit points.
Unfortunately, everyone disagreed to continue the attack, and the soldiers really needed to rest for a while, so this main mission was estimated to be unable to be completed within a month.
Wei Jichen entered the system unhurriedly.
Personal information.
Wei Jichen, male, 23 years old
Rank: Second Lieutenant.
Merit value: 61209.7.
Prestige value: 48561, Title: Famous, the host's reputation is unstoppable and spread throughout the province.
The last main mission alone earned him 30,000 merit points, and the capture of Gaiping earned another 10,000 merit points, and the remaining more than 20,000 points were accumulated by killing the devils.
Who told him that the Japanese generals killed this time all had high positions, and they all contributed a lot of merit points to him at once.
But shouldn't the last main task be to kill? Why did he complete it by capturing Katsura Taro?
Wei Jichen couldn't figure it out, so he immediately called out Xiao Dingdang.
A flash of white light passed by, and Xiao Dingdang stood in front of him in a princess dress, her eyes curved into crescents with a smile.
What's going on again?
"Hey! How did I complete the main task last time? Shouldn't it be to kill?" Wei Jichen asked in a mature manner.
Xiao Dingdang immediately looked at him like a fool, twisted her skirt, and finally rolled her eyes, pouted and asked Wei Jichen: "Which situation is more difficult, capturing or killing?"
"Of course it's capturing." Wei Jichen replied with a smile.
Xiao Dingdang raised her lips and spread her hands, saying, "That's it. Since it's more difficult to capture a prisoner, with such a high IQ, the system will naturally think that you have completed the task perfectly?"
"If you complete the task perfectly, will there be any other extra rewards?" Wei Jichen asked with a pair of green eyes.
Xiao Dingdang's mouth corners slightly raised, and she smiled, and then nodded gently as expected by Wei Jichen.
"What extra reward?" Wei Jichen asked anxiously.
Xiao Dingdang suddenly jumped in front of him, then stood on tiptoe, rubbed her mouth gently on Wei Jichen's face, and then jumped away, clapped her hands with a smile, and said, "The extra reward is a kiss from me, how about it? How does it taste?"
Could it be that this is the legendary reverse push? Wei Jichen held his face and didn't know what to say. It's too embarrassing for a man to be teased by a little loli. No, I have to tease her back, but when he saw Xiao Dingdang's face, Wei Jichen had to suppress his eager heart.
Xiao Dingdang was like a cat that had stolen some fish. She blinked happily and said, "Go and have a look in the Army Science and Technology Military System. There will be unexpected surprises."
With a ripple of water, she had disappeared from the spot.
Thanks to the three book friends, 'Super Iron God Machine', Cuochuan, and Feng Zhilianshang, for their support. Xiao Chong bowed to express his gratitude.
——————————————————
Could it be that there are new weapons? Wei Jichen suddenly forgot about the beauty just now and immediately clicked into the Army Science and Technology Military System with great interest.
Sure enough, in addition to the original weapon options, a new item appeared. I don't know whether it is a reward for Wei Jichen's promotion to second lieutenant or a reward for perfectly completing the main task.
In short, this new weapon looks very impressive because it is a cannon.
18 field gun.
Barrel length: 27 times the caliber.
Projectile weight: 6.8 kg.
Maximum range: 8000m.
This should have been a new product produced by Krupp next year, but now it has appeared in the system. I wonder what the poor technicians of Krupp will think if they know about it. I guess they will strangle Wei Jichen to death.
Wei Jichen looked at the price happily. The required merit points: 3000 points, and buy one get ten free, buy one cannon and get ten bombs for free.
The price of a cannonball is 50 merit points per piece.
The system is really a timely help. Such a cannon that is neither too advanced nor too backward is suitable for Wei Jichen, who is not strong now. After all, it is not easy to arouse suspicion from others.
I am afraid that even if the German soldiers themselves saw it, they would think it was a new field artillery that has been developed, not to mention that most of these Qing Dynasty troops can't even figure out the type of artillery.
How many should I buy? Wei Jichen began to weigh it in his mind.
