"Why did we bury the damn cable at that location?" The major couldn't compliment his luck because the place where the cable was buried was dug up by the Qi army.

And all the soldiers don't talk, they also feel that their backs lack enough luck for themselves, and all of them are aware of a serious problem, that is, they are completely surrounded and there is no contact with the outside world before they Thought it wasn't a big deal at least they were still in touch but now that the cable is cut means they don't know anything about what's going on outside

"Understood, everyone stay vigilant." The major still maintained his restraint. He needed to go back to his headquarters to think about countermeasures and how to make up for this problem.

"Is the situation clear?" the lieutenant colonel at the other end asked anxiously

"After the situation has been investigated, it is very likely that the Qi army has cut off our cables. Our telephone and telegram communication with the outside world has been cut off," an officer reported.

"But there is another good news that our cables can still be used," the officer continued.

"Oh, I see." The lieutenant colonel was a little listless

"Sir, I think we should report this situation to the people above and let them solve it," the officer suggested.

"Okay, you can figure it out." The lieutenant colonel waved his hand, and the officer saluted and left. He reported the situation to the Qin State General Staff

Qin Xianyang General Staff

"Sir, we have encountered a big problem." A lieutenant colonel hurried over with a telegram and said

"What's the problem?" Yang Duanhe asked

"The cables in our warehouse area have been dug up, they have no connection with each other, and from the current situation, our tower area is not very safe, because the Qi army is also digging trenches there, and they will dig the cables there sooner or later" school analysis

"You mean?" Yang Duanhe asked

"We may be cut off at any time at that time..." the lieutenant colonel said not optimistic

"This is a big problem. Our people are about to enter a real siege," Wang Jian said at this time

"Once the connection is cut off, the problem will be big"

"But it's impossible for this kind of thing not to happen," Wang Jian said.

"Think of a way, we need to restore contact as soon as possible," Wang Jian said.

(Feng Wu) The matter of cutting off contact is something that will happen sooner or later. It just depends on the situation of the Qi army. The military contact of the Qin army is basically completed by laying cables, that is, maintaining wired calls. Although wireless technology has reached the broadcast level, wireless technology The application in the military field is obviously not as extensive as in civilian use, especially the frontline troops of the Qin Army are equipped with radio equipment very few places.

In fact, the Qin army has noticed that radio equipment may bring about huge changes in the military field, especially in military operations. When fighting in the vast Western Regions, troops often suffer from the interconnection between troops.

Especially the communication unit, they sometimes need to send several groups of people in a row to get in touch, and the communication unit is the unit with the most missing personnel, because the communication personnel usually act alone. Individual action means that it is difficult to get timely rescue after an accident, such as Natural disasters are either intercepted and killed by the opponent's patrols, and this possibility is very high

Later, Qin Jun chose to use the liaison machine, but even using the liaison machine could not achieve precise contact, because some troops had to be in a concealed state, and if they wanted to make contact, they had to actively expose their positions.

Not only that, the liaison aircraft is affected by the weather, especially the weather in the Western Regions. When the weather in the Western Regions changes, it is easy to have a strong wind of level [-]** Not only that, the engine parts of the aircraft are very worn out in bad weather, and some special ones The liaison machine can't go deep in the terrain area, so the liaison machine is not the best choice. It is precisely because of this that the Qin army is interested in equipping radios, but radios have many limitations; especially, there are very few receiving devices in high towers. There are big cities like Xianyang in the Qin State because they can pay high steel support costs there, but not in other places. You must know that there is only one country that produces steel, and there are currently only three places that produce steel in the north of Guanzhong Qin State and Taiyuan. It can barely produce in the Shangdang area, but because of the traffic conditions there, a lot of equipment has not been invested, so that area has been temporarily forgotten.

Now Qin Jun is about to face the dilemma of not having any connection

It is not a good choice to send manpower to complete the communication

"Look at the barbed wire we can set up, the enemy will also, and they will pass through these deadly barbed wires more than the barbed wire we set up. It is very difficult." The major took a telescope and saw that the Qi army was setting up densely arranged barbed wire frames. Throwing out these wooden shelves is enough to keep Qin Jun's signal soldiers busy.

The appearance of barbed wire has made the battlefield more and more complicated, and the requirements for infantry are also getting higher and higher. At the same time, it poses a huge threat to cavalry. According to an incomplete statistics, the Qin army will deploy a large number of them as long as they defend on the spot, especially for long-term defense. This kind of barbed wire, especially from the beginning of industrial civilization, can only be produced by machines in large quantities. This kind of barbed wire drawing machine can draw thousands of wires per hour. It can be said that the cost is very low, but the threat of this weapon is great.

In the northern grasslands, the arrangement of barbed wire can greatly reduce the charge of the Huns cavalry. Their horses cannot cross the more and more overlapping barbed wire. If they are forcibly impacted, the damage to the horses will be very serious.

Therefore, the barbed wire fence, which was repeatedly compressed by the Qin army because of this cheap defensive weapon, would be difficult to dismantle without special infantry equipment.

However, once this weapon is used on the infantry battlefield, the weapon will become another situation. Barbed wire will push the war to an extreme, because it is a defensive weapon that is very beneficial to the defensive side and very disadvantageous to the offensive side. The shooting speed of the upper rifle is getting faster and faster Barbed wire has become synonymous with death

A large number of soldiers on the battlefield died in front of them because of the appearance of barbed wire. At present, except for the Qin State which has issued an infantry clause about crossing the barbed wire, no other country has a special defense weapon to deal with the barbed wire. However, this defensive weapon has not yet attracted attention. Enough awareness and no one sees it as a threat they just see it as an obstacle to an obstacle just an obstacle

There was a clear "bang" gunshot, and the Qin army's position was in a state of motion.

"Ah!" a soldier of the Qin army wailed.

"Come on, come on, medics, come on!" a soldier shouted loudly

"Come on, someone here is injured, hurry up!" the soldier shouted loudly

"Here, who is injured?" The medical soldiers ran as fast as possible

"Oh damn." The medic looked at the wound, the bullet hit the soldier's shoulder, and the injury wasn't serious.

"The pain is killing me, damn Qi people, I want to kill him with my own hands." The soldiers shouted at the pain while scolding the Qi army's medical soldiers. They can't say anything, they can only check whether the wound is left in the body, is it okay?

"Be patient" the medic looked at the paratrooper

"It's a good thing the bullet didn't stay in the body," said the medic after checking the wound

The medical soldiers of the Qin State first came from the spontaneous behavior of the soldiers of the Qin Army. At the beginning, there were a large number of wounded and sick people in the Qin Army in the north, especially non-combat attrition. While Shang Wen continued to improve the logistics facilities, he also ordered the soldiers to use ten to twenty soldiers In the proportion, some careful soldiers were selected to learn some medical knowledge, and then let them provide medical assistance to other soldiers in peacetime. Gradually, the Qin army began to have specialized medical soldiers in the subsequent establishment. In peacetime, we should also care about the physical and mental health of soldiers to ensure that every soldier does not get sick

It can be said that the Qin army was the first army to popularize medical assistance

"Hold on I need to heal you it will hurt but it will be good for you listen and trust me" the medic looked at the wounded soldier like

"Really?" The wounded soldier looked at the medic in bewilderment.

"Hurry up!" The veterans on the side couldn't stand it any longer

Saying that, the medical soldier nodded, took out a bottle of gunpowder from his medical box, sprinkled the gunpowder on the wound, took out a lighter and lit a wooden stick

"Oh, stop, what are you doing?" The wounded soldier watched in horror as the medical soldier approached the gunpowder wound with a ignited wooden stick.

"Take it away or I will kill you and me..." the wounded soldier shouted loudly

"Ah..." the wounded soldier shouted loudly

Then the wounded soldier lost consciousness

"噗嗤" The gunpowder had a violent chemical reaction at the wound, and then the air was filled with the smell of barbecue

"Huh..." The medical soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and began to bandage up. The medical soldiers of the Qin Army generally use this method to treat wounds. In fact, the Qin Army can use normal saline and alcohol to disinfect the wounds, but it is difficult for the Qin Army's front line to provide such convenience. First of all, normal saline is only available to the wounded who are provided with infusions on the front line. In order to provide a certain amount of energy, normal saline has always been used as energy water. As for alcohol, it is regarded as a kind of entertainment by the soldiers and falls into the hands of the soldiers, so the doctors are not very good. Disinfectants are used to treat the wounds, but if the wounds are not treated in time, they will soon become infected, and the soldiers have to dig out the carrion, and severe cases have to be amputated.

However, an accident made Qin Jun discover another quick way, that is, the bullet belt of a Yan soldier was hit and the gunpowder in the bullet was ignited. No timely medical treatment was carried out, but a few days later, the doctor unexpectedly discovered that the untreated wounded soldier had recovered, so he checked the wound and inquired about some conditions, only to realize that the wound had a relatively serious burn, which was caused by the ignition of gunpowder, but the gunpowder The high temperature and the sulfur in the gunpowder have a very good sterilization and disinfection effect, but the doctor does not know this. He knows that if the gunpowder is used to ignite the wound, it can be well disinfected and it is very easy to avoid the secondary wound. The discovery of infection was quickly spread

Qin Jun didn't know that sprinkling sulfur powder on wounds could also disinfect them. They mistakenly believed that lighting gunpowder could disinfect wounds.

So this method began to spread on a large scale, especially the medical soldiers, they all received short-term training to learn to spread this method, and then used this method on wounded soldiers, so the medical soldiers called it gunpowder therapy.

But this method has a big disadvantage, that is, the soldiers who receive treatment often have to bear huge pain, especially the burning sensation produced when the gunpowder is ignited. He will scream and then pass out, but the medics see a lot. If a soldier does not pass out after being injured and can persist, then this person can be called a real man, because few people can bear it.

Shangwen didn't know about this cruel medical method. If he knew, he would have suggested using sulfur powder, but now this method can greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers, especially the chance of secondary infection. Compared with the Qi army, they are much more miserable. Didn't know that this cruel method could save their lives and many of them died from this secondary infection
