Chapter 526: Grim Bear Army

After four years of recuperation and continuous improvement, the Grim Bear Army is not what it was four years ago.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that the equipment of the Grim Bear Army is definitely the only existence of scorpions on this planet.

   If the arrogant British, French, Spanish, Prussians, and Austrians see the equipment of a main division of the Grim Bear Army, they can directly find a piece of stinky tofu and kill them in shame! Well, the premise is that they can find stinky tofu.

   Take the First Division as an example. Four years ago, a large part of the soldiers in the First Division of the Grim Bear Army did not hold muskets but strong bows. But now, the First Division has basically all installed firearms. Of course, in addition to the muskets in the hands of the soldiers of the First Division, the other large grenades in their waists have now completely turned into wooden grenade.

   After all, in terms of the throwing effect, the wooden grenade is more suitable for long-distance throwing. As for the power of this grenade with a wooden handle, it is naturally great.

   Ordinary soldiers basically have no other equipment except muskets and grenades.

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

   After all, the Burst Bear rifle is a powerful rifle with an effective range of more than 600 meters. This rifle is not inferior even if it is placed on the battlefield of World War I. In front of a group of Indians with cold weapons in their hands, this kind of bear rifle is simply a BUG-like existence.

   Even if they were brought in front of the British and Spaniards, although these Vasichus were holding Ferguson rifles, they were far from being compared with the Burst Bear rifle.

   It is worth mentioning here that Lieutenant Ferguson's wish finally succeeded. His fate was finally completely changed after he stayed in the high tree tribe for several years.

   Patrick Ferguson in the original historical time and space was struggling to promote his Ferguson rifle. In the end, even he himself died on the battlefield of the War of Independence. But even so, the Ferguson rifle has not been widely promoted.

   But it's different now. Although the Ferguson rifle that James Jones was the first to trade with the Stone Bear, it was difficult for even James Jones to promote the Ferguson rifle in the country because of the huge power of the arms dealers in the British Empire. He could only promote it in the North American colonies. Kind of rifle.

   However, because of the participation of the Spaniards, the Ferguson rifle was first widely promoted in the Kingdom of Spain. When the King of England learned that the Spaniard had a new rifle with an effective range that was twice as long as the Brown Beth rifle, and a reloading speed more than twice as fast, he immediately lost his breath.

   After further investigation, it was discovered that this rifle of the Spaniard was developed by the British, but for this and other reasons, this rifle was not promoted.

   Then, King George III of England was angry! George IV, who has just ascended the British throne for less than ten years, is now wise, especially when the British Empire has just defeated the mortal enemy French under his leadership, which makes his prestige even higher.

Although his father, George II, died aggrieved when he pulled Baba, as a son, George III has used his wisdom and determination to defeat the French, which has also washed away the kind of death of his father. awkward.

   George III at this time is still very powerful, especially after he completely controlled the cabinet, his power has reached its peak.

   So under the strong promotion of George III, British history finally turned a corner, and the Ferguson rifle began to be widely promoted in the British army. Ferguson no longer has to promote his Ferguson rifle as desperately as in the original historical time and space, but the final effect has been achieved.

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

   In addition to the firearms, the horses of the First Division have also increased a lot. Originally, the First Division was a pure army, that is, the march basically relied on the second bus as one-two-one. However, with the continuous improvement of the internal affairs of the tribe in the past four years, the number of war horses has also increased sharply.

   Therefore, the four main divisions and six mixed divisions of the Grim Bear Army have each added a cavalry regiment with a number of 1,000. As the main force of the main division, the cavalry regiment of the First Division has two thousand personnel!

   In addition to adding a cavalry regiment, each of the ten divisions under the Grim Bear Army also added a divisional artillery regiment.

  The 76mm cannon that has been fully installed has a total weight of 1.3 tons. It takes eight people to control such a cannon. As the main division, each division of the first to fourth divisions is equipped with twenty-four 76mm cannons. Such an artillery regiment has 192 artillerymen that control the artillery. In addition to the air school personnel, transportation, and logistics personnel responsible for the delivery of ammunition, the entire artillery regiment has more than 500 people.

   The number of the artillery regiment under the division is far from enough for a regiment, but the artillery thing is too powerful, and they have a high status. Just like the air force pilots of later generations, a pilot can be used to start as a lieutenant officer. This level is far higher than that of the army and the navy.

   Similarly, even if the number of divisions belonging to the artillery regiment is far less than that of an integrated regiment, it is still classified as regiment level.

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

   Even if there are more than 10,000 people from the opposite side of the Elenas blocked on the way forward, as long as the division's gun regiment is pulled out, and three or four rounds of volleys are randomly fired, it is enough to directly break the Elenas.

The power of this 76mm cannon is much more powerful than that of a mortar of the same caliber~lightnovelpub.net~ If it is on a plain without any obstructions, this thing will drop a cannonball within a radius of 20 meters. There is no one standing.

   The area covered by the twenty-four 76 guns is not that big if they fire in a salvo.

   The most important thing is that this thing has a long range.

   Launched from a location far away from the enemy, it can blow up the enemy in a few rounds.

   Not to mention these backward Indians, even Europeans would never expect that there would be artillery capable of firing more than five kilometers at this time!

   So, the bighorn sheep really didn't say this again.

   It’s just that Shi Xiong didn’t want to just smash the precious shells on his own head. Although the Elenas had shown a stubborn resistance, Shixiong really didn't want to drive them to death.

   Again, the current population of North American Indians is too small. It's too late for Shi Xiong to cherish it, so how can he be willing to kill people like this?

   So Shixiong simply rejected the bighorn sheep's proposal, even if he knows that the bighorn sheep's proposal is correct, even if he knows that if he follows the bighorn sheep's proposal, it will quickly solve the Elena.

"It's still the same purpose. Try not to kill as much as possible without killing. Intimidation is the main thing!" Shi Xiong thought for a moment. Try not to shroud the main force of the Elena within the bombing range of the artillery regiment."

   Ishikuma thought for a while and said, "You can wipe a little bit to scare those guys..."
