Chapter 526

After four years of recuperation and continuous improvement, the bear army is not what it was four years ago.

It's no exaggeration to say that the equipment of the storm bear army is absolutely the only existence of scorpion shit on this planet.

If the arrogant British, French, Spaniards, Prussians and Australians see the equipment of a main division of the stormbear army, they will be ashamed to run into a piece of stinky tofu! Well, if they can find stinky tofu.

Take the first division as an example. Four years ago, there were still a large number of soldiers in the first division of the fierce bear army who were not armed with guns, but with strong bows. But now, the first division has basically been fully equipped with firearms. Of course, in addition to the muskets in their hands, the soldiers of the first division used to have large grenades in their waists, but now they have completely turned into wooden handled grenades.

After all, in terms of throwing effect, wooden handle grenades are more suitable for long-distance throwing. As for the power of this kind of hand grenade with wooden handle, naturally it is very big.

Ordinary soldiers have no other equipment except muskets and grenades.

It seems that the equipment has been reduced a lot, but the actual combat effectiveness of soldiers has been doubled.

After all, the explosive bear rifle is a powerful rifle with an effective range of more than 600 meters. This kind of rifle is not inferior even on the battlefield of World War I. In front of a group of Indians with cold weapons in their hands, this kind of explosive bear rifle is just a bug.

Even in front of the British and Spaniard, though these vasichu's rifles are Ferguson rifles, they are far from being compared with the explosive bear rifles.

It's worth mentioning here that lieutenant Ferguson's wish was finally a success. After several years of staying in the gaoshu tribe, his fate finally changed completely.

In order to promote his Ferguson rifle, Patrick Ferguson in the original time and space of history was very hard. In the end, even he died in the war of independence. But even so, Ferguson rifles have not been promoted on a large scale.

But now it's different. Although the Ferguson rifle that James Jones first traded with stone bear was due to the huge power of those arms dealers in the British Empire, it was difficult for even James Jones to promote the Ferguson rifle in China. He could only promote this kind of rifle in the North American colonies.

However, due to the participation of the Spaniard, Ferguson rifles were first promoted on a large scale in Spain. When the king learned that the Spaniards had a new rifle with an effective range twice that of the brown Beth rifle and a loading speed more than twice that of the brown Beth rifle, he immediately lost his breath.

After further investigation, it was found that the Spanish rifle was developed by the British, but it was not promoted for one reason or another.

So King George III was angry! George IV, who has just been on the British throne for less than ten years, is now a wise man. Under his leadership, the British Empire has just defeated its mortal enemy, the French, which makes him more prestigious.

Although his father, George II, died when he pulled Baba, his son, George III, has won the French with his wisdom and determination, which also washes away the embarrassment of his father's death.

George III was very powerful at this time, especially after he completely controlled the cabinet, and his power reached the peak.

Therefore, under the strong impetus of George III, the history of Britain finally turned a corner, and Ferguson rifle began to be popularized in the British Army on a large scale. Ferguson doesn't have to push his Ferguson rifle as hard as he did in the past, but it works in the end.

But even if the British people are equipped with Ferguson rifles on a large scale, they are still scum in front of explosive bear rifles. It's just that no one knows that yet.

In addition to firearms, the number of horses in the first division increased a lot. Originally, the first division was a pure army, which basically relied on the No.2 bus for marching. However, with the improvement of the internal affairs of the tribe in these four years, the number of war horses is also increasing.

Therefore, the four main divisions and the six mixed divisions of the stormy bear army have each added a cavalry regiment of 1000 men. As the main force of the main divisions, the cavalry regiment of the first division has 2000 men!

In addition to the addition of cavalry regiments, each of the ten divisions of the stormy bear army also added an artillery regiment.

The 76 mm cannon, which has been fully equipped, has a total weight of 1.3 tons. It takes eight people to operate such a cannon. As the main division, each division from the first division to the fourth division is equipped with 24 76mm cannons. Such a artillery regiment only controls the artillery with 192 soldiers. In addition to the air location personnel, transport and logistics personnel responsible for transporting ammunition, the number of the whole artillery regiment is about 500.

The number of artillery regiments under the division is far less than the establishment of a regiment, but the artillery is too powerful. People have a high status. Just like the air force pilots of later generations, if you take out any pilot to start, you will be a lieutenant. This level is far higher than that of the army and navy.

Similarly, even though the number of artillery regiments under the division is far less than that of an integrated regiment, they are still rated as regiment level.

Therefore, what bighorn sheep said just now is not exaggerated at all.

Even if there are more than 10000 Iranians on the opposite side blocking the way forward, as long as the division's artillery regiment is pulled out and three or four rounds of Volley are fired at random, it will be enough to bring the Iranians to a direct collapse.

The 76mm cannon is much more powerful than a mortar of the same caliber. If there is no shelter in the plain, this thing a shell hit, within a radius of 20 meters, absolutely no one is standing.

Twenty four 76 guns, if fired in volley, would not cover an ordinary large area.

Most importantly, it has a long range.

Fire from a distance where the enemy can't see at all, and you can blow up the enemy in a few rounds.

Not to mention the backward Indians, even the Europeans never thought that they could fire guns more than five kilometers at this time!

Therefore, the big horn sheep really does not say this again.

It's just that stone bear doesn't want to smash precious shells on his own head. Although the Iranians have shown a stubborn resistance, the stone bear really doesn't want to kill them all.

In other words, the population of North American Indians is too small. It's too late for the stone bear to cherish it. How can he be so willing to kill?

So Shi Xiong simply rejected the bighorn sheep's proposal, even if he knew that the bighorn sheep's proposal was correct, even if he knew that if he did according to the bighorn sheep's proposal, it would soon solve the problem of the Elaine people.

"It's the same tenet. If you can't kill people, try not to kill them, but mainly threaten them!" Stone bear thought for a moment, "well, let the hot air balloon of the artillery regiment go up, then check the position, and let the artillery regiment carry out threatening shooting! Try not to envelop the main force of the Iranians in the bombing range of the artillery regiment. "

After thinking about it, Shi Xiong said, "you can wipe the edge a little and scare those guys..."
