"Long live! Long live! Long live the Prime Minister... Call in the heavenly soldiers and generals to blow up these beasts..."
"Bullshit heavenly soldiers, those are hot air balloons, the standard equipment of the Chinese army! You ignorant guys, they are used to observe the enemy's situation. I didn't expect the prime minister to arm them today. It's so awesome...explosion ah!"
The ice cap of the Suifen River was simply unable to withstand such a powerful bomb. The sky was covered with shattered ice cubes and ice slag mixed with tons of river water shooting out in all directions.
None of the cavalrymen who were hit by the bullet survived. A huge ice hole with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in front of people, and water vapor rushed towards their faces.
The cavalrymen who were caught off guard fell down like dumplings, and those soldiers who were splashed with ice water would probably not feel better when they looked back. They were definitely suffering from severe typhoid fever.
What's even more terrifying is that there are several huge cracks extending along the edge of the ice cave, making a crackling sound.
"Go around the ice hole and continue the attack... The hot air balloon cannot carry too many bombs, and they cannot blow up the entire ice..." Gogol and Chuck the Fox jumped to cheer the soldiers up, but This super bomb has shocked the spirit of the Cossack cavalry, and the atmosphere of fear began to pervade.
In this era, when it comes to understanding the word firepower, if Xiao Letian says he is second, then no one dares to say he is first.
Because Xiao Letian had seen countless information and images in his previous life, he knew how horribly human beings would play with firepower, including nuclear weapons, let alone conventional weapons.
The vast majority of people lack the ability to imagine. Only a handful of people in the human world can become science fiction writers. When many shocking remarks are thrown out, 99% of people in society will laugh at and abuse them.
If Xiao Letian said today that in the future humans would build a super weapon that can destroy a city with a single cannonball, people would definitely say that he was dreaming and that he was insane.
In fact, let alone nuclear weapons, just the weapons from World War II and World War I. If Xiao Letian predicted it, no one would believe it.
When the Zhiyuan blueprints were first released, Prussian scientists all shook their heads, thinking that this design would never be successful. In the end, they reluctantly carried out the development for Xiao Letianqian's sake.
Who would have thought that the final 210-caliber breech-loading rifled cannon would be so useful. All Prussian scientists and engineers involved in this secret project were dumbfounded. From then on, no one dared to question Xiao Letian's decision.
If Xiao Letian said that human wars in the future will not only compete for sea power, but also for air supremacy, who in this world would believe it? There was definitely a wave of ridicule.
Not to mention such dreamy scenes, let’s take the power of explosives as an example. Xiao Letian often uses the concepts of his previous life to guide people in current operations.
But now people use outdated experience to guide military operations, and the gap between one plus and one minus is getting wider and wider.
This group of cavalry from Central Asia is fierce, brutal, experienced in combat, and fearless... But this lack of fear is conditional. They have absolutely no fear in the face of things they can understand.
You say they are not afraid of fighting with cold weapons, shooting with rifles, or even fighting bears with bare hands, but the other party uses terrifying abilities that they have never seen before, and they have no experience in dealing with these things in their memory bank. At this time Fighting nations will also be confused.
The Cossack Cavalry Regiment also has its own artillery unit, but they did not bring it with them this time. In their impression, artillery is a fist-thick barrel, and the heavy bronze barrel is heavy and heavy.
Those that can fire explosive projectiles are considered advanced weapons. Many backward artillery still fire solid projectiles. The power of that kind of field artillery is actually not as powerful as rushing up and chopping with a saber.
But the power of today's 'aerial bomb' has completely overturned their old ideas. They originally thought that they were invincible, but now they have turned into frightened rats in the flames.
Aerial bombs kept falling from the sky. The two hot air balloons carried a total of fifty aerial bombs. In fact, it was not enough to explode all the ice. But what Xiao Letian wanted was this kind of psychological shock to break this group of aerial bombs. The illusion of invincibility in the Cossack's mind.
Boom boom boom... A huge explosion sounded on the ice cap of Suifen River. The cavalry were knocked down one by one. The pressure on the front line was greatly weakened, and the shaky morale was finally maintained.
Xiao Letian looked at the constant explosions ahead and the mushroom clouds composed of smoke and dust, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "In that previous life, the Chinese nation suffered for eight years! Did they also suffer from such firepower at that time?"
The answer is yes. The most classic battle example is the Battle of Songhu. At that time, the Chinese army had an absolute advantage in numbers, and the quality of its troops was no worse than that of the Japanese, but it did not have sea or air control.
Taking sea control as an example, the two most powerful warships of the Japanese Navy at that time were the Haruna and Izumo.
The Haruna's main gun has a caliber of 356 mm, and the Izumo's main gun has a caliber of 203 mm. This was during World War II, and human explosives technology had been updated countless times. Its power was comparable to that of the Zhiyuan's main gun in Xiao Letian's hand. Much more powerful.
That's 356 millimeters, almost close to the width of an adult man's chest. You can imagine how much explosives can be packed in such a shell.
A naval main gun shell, when pulled out casually, is taller and more powerful than an adult. You can imagine how powerful it is.
During the Battle of Songhu, soldiers may have sacrificed one or two hundred lives to recapture a building, but before they could guard the building for three minutes, the enemy navy's main gun could blow up the entire building with one shot.
Fighting such firepower with flesh and blood? I'm afraid a regiment's half-day battle results can be reimbursed for you in two cannons!
"If a soldier doesn't have a clear concept of firepower, if he can't mobilize firepower with ease, then he can't be considered a good soldier!" Xiao Letian said quietly, "Now that I'm here, I can't let such a tragedy happen again. …”
He suddenly yelled in the headquarters, "What the fuck, now you know why I want to engage in industrialization! Because this is power! The power that rules this world!"
"You don't want this fucking power, I do! If you want to avoid being bullied in the future, you must remember today! Remember the pleasure of using this kind of power to defeat your enemies!"
"Damn! Industrialization first gives China the power to protect itself. Everything else is just a cloud! I came to this world to bring this power to China!"
"You have no choice! You have no choice but to follow me, follow me..." Xiao Letian roared, his face turned red, and the air in his lungs was squeezed dry!
All the officers stood up in excitement and saluted, shouting, "Wherever the Prime Minister's sword is directed, we will not retreat even if we die a hundred times! We will follow you to the death..."
