Alien Empire Total War

(A reader mentioned that European and American countries do not have the rank of colonel, so I will change the rank of the protagonist to brigadier general)

"General, the surrendered rebel soldiers have all been gathered and controlled. The soldiers are still searching for the enemy hiding in the mountains and forests. After an investigation, we have captured at least 1,200 people."

When Captain Greney Baldwin was talking to Charlie, the joy on his face could not be concealed, but Charlie's attention was not on his words. He noticed that on the right arm of the commander's blood-stained uniform, there was a Imperceptible small holes.

He immediately understood something.

"Baldwin, you were shot?" Charlie asked, frowning.

"Ah..." Baldwin didn't expect Charlie to see the abnormality in his right arm at a glance, he was stunned, he subconsciously raised his hand to cover the wound on his right arm, and replied, "It was just hit by a stray bullet, It's no big deal."

"How can this be considered a trivial matter?" Charlie frowned and said, "You hand over the matter to the staff agent, and then go back to Nava City for treatment. The battle is ahead, and I can't lose an excellent regimental commander."

"Yes." Seeing that Charlie was taking it seriously, Baldwin had no choice but to agree. He called an officer with whom he had just talked, gave the latter a few words, and then left Nawa Mountain.

After Baldwin left, Charlie began to check the report submitted by the staff. In the battle tonight, a total of 479 people were killed in the two infantry regiments participating in the battle. The main casualties came from the two main attackers. The first battalion, those musketeers who were converted by Charlie into system soldiers, were worthy of their loyalty to Charlie and made great contributions to tonight's victory.

It is worth mentioning that the enemy's artillery positions deployed on the mountainside played an almost negligible role in tonight's battle. Due to the shooting angle, they could not provide artillery support for the friendly forces when the two armies were at war. When the enemy hits the mountainside, turn the muzzle and shoot at the attacking enemy.

Among the more than 400 soldiers killed, some of them were killed by the close-range shelling of the artillery - fortunately, the rebels did not prepare grape bullets for the artillery, otherwise more soldiers would die.

Although he paid the price of more than 400 soldiers killed in battle, Charlie still got rich spoils. In addition to the four 6-pound infantry guns and two 12-pound infantry guns, he also captured more than 3,000 rebel soldiers from the army. New-style rifles and matching buckled bayonets bought from abroad, as well as a lot of gunpowder and lead bullets.

After capturing the 6-pound infantry gun, Charlie also unlocked the system's 6-pound infantry gun recruitment permission. Looking at it another way, isn't that one pound equals one hundred dollars?

Charlie, who can recruit artillery units from the system, is not interested in the captured artillery. Apart from leaving a thousand rifles as a reserve, the rest of the booty is ready to be sent to Nava City, so that his uncle can renovate the National Army. equipment to improve combat effectiveness.

He is now fighting side by side with the National Army. The more reliable the latter, the more help he will be, so he doesn't mind giving the captured useless spoils to the other side.

In addition to these loot, what surprised Charlie the most was the reward issued after completing the system task. It was said earlier that the system would reward him with a random army and the recruitment authority of a random army after he completed the task. After winning Mount Nava , he couldn't wait to start checking the rewards of the system.

After checking it, the system really gave him a big surprise.

The first is a random unit. The system gives him the opportunity to recruit a team of cuirassiers. Cavalry is different from infantry. The weapons, equipment and mounts of cavalry are prepared by the system. Charlie only needs to provide personnel, and the personnel will not Mandatory to master horsemanship, ordinary infantry can also be converted.

This team of 60 cuirassiers was inconspicuous on the huge battlefield. Before receiving the permission to recruit cavalry, Charlie still could not organize a large cavalry charge.

Finally, there is the recruitment authority for random arms. I don’t know if the system is ready to make Charlie the so-called God of War, and directly opens the recruitment authority for 7-pound howitzers to him. Recruiting a team costs 1024 gold coins, and it is still a team of four doors. artillery.

The howitzer is between the two main types of artillery, the cannon and the mortar. Similar to other artillery, the howitzer moves slowly and has limited maneuverability, but it is not as accurate as the cannon, and its firing method is also very different from the cannon. After launching into high altitude blasting, it will fall to kill the enemy.

Different from the new-style howitzer that was put into operation in the later period, the type of shells used by the 7-pounder howitzer are flowering shells and shotgun shells. The former is suitable for bombing densely populated enemy areas. uukanshu.com In close combat, shrapnel can also be launched to directly attack the enemy team. After the shell explodes, it will fire countless musket bullets and cause large-scale damage.

Of course, in this day and age, the discipline of ballistics is not yet fully understood. Aiming errors aside, even if the shell lands, it may not cause any damage, and the unstable wind direction will directly cause the shell to deviate from its course. The fuse also needs to be ignited while the shell is still in the barrel, and its length must match the flight time. If the lead is too short, the shell is likely to explode prematurely during flight, and if the lead is too long, the enemy may also be in the air. The lead was trampled on before it fell to the ground and exploded.

As a result, commanders of this era preferred stable infantry guns and rarely equipped extremely unstable howitzers.

Charlie looked at the 7-pounder howitzer that the system unlocked for him, and couldn't help but get into a headache. Although he believed in the reliability of the system, he was also worried about the performance of the early howitzers. Why don't you use the money to recruit more teams of infantry artillery?

Everything needs to be tried, Charlie considers it, or decides that a few teams of howitzers should be recruited to deal with the upcoming battle - after the news of the fall of Nawa Mountain, the rebel commanders will not stand by and watch their enemies take over With this favorable terrain, taking their artillery positions to blow up their own positions, it can be expected that he will have to deal with the enemy's counterattack in the next few days.

Just as Charlie was thinking, another group of soldiers who were being searched for the defeated soldiers were dragged down on the mountain. The man at the head was dressed in general's uniform, with many blood stains on his body, and the whole person looked very embarrassed. Charlie glanced at his first. He recognized this acquaintance he had seen at the Military Academy with his eyes.
