Chapter 112 Exercise 112"If I were on that hill, I'd hang the white flag now." Put down the telescope, Vagron Said to General Mordelair beside him. There was a muffled sound of The earth shook and the mountain quivered from far away, and it was a cannonball hitting the earth.
The power of the 155mm howitzer is really the difference between Heaven and Earth compared to the original 75mm field gun that the army was equipped with. Even just in terms of sound, there are essential differences between the two.
A full-strength artillery regiment conducts frontal fire suppression, and that destructive power can be truly felt even if it is separated by a long distance. This high-intensity shelling can really destroy the mentality of any defender, as long as the shells are plentiful.
The artillery, known as the War God, has ruled the battlefield since the day it was born, and it will remain one of the indispensable weapons of human warfare for the foreseeable future.
The cannon is a man's romance, and the caliber is the climax of a man's romance. The 155mm caliber cannon made the army officers participating in this time exercise once again feel the shock of modern industrial weapons.
For a time, the unpleasantness of being occupied by 100 knowledge magic balls by the Navy was also disappeared with the overwhelming explosion in front of him. As long as they can take to the battlefield with these powerful weapons, there is nothing to worry about.
"I heard that the Holy Demon Emperor took 100 130mm caliber cannons...it's not much less powerful than this." Mordelair came back from the front line to participate in this new weapon test During the exercise, I saw the new 155mm caliber howitzer, which was also shocking. But what he was more worried about was the new-style artillery that was taken away by the Holy Demon Emperor.
Vagron heard Mordelair say this, and comforted the other party: "Actually, the power is much worse, but it is still stronger than the 105mm caliber howitzer that we have already started to equip. "
Mordel or for his troops worried that if they attacked the enemy who was also supported by artillery units, the battle situation might be tragic: "If we encounter such an enemy in the future, our troops may It won't be too comfortable."
Now, they not only have to face the enemy with swords and bows, but also the enemy with artillery and rifle, which makes people very uneasy. In the best case scenario, the number of casualties in a war will also increase exponentially, which is definitely not good news.
"Don't worry, as long as we have larger-caliber artillery, more shells, and those small artillery of the Holy Demon Emperor, we are no match for us!" Vagron didn't care, or Said he believed more in the firepower advantage of his side.
He does have the capital to be proud of. The number of 105mm caliber howitzers has surged, and 155mm caliber howitzers have also begun to be equipped with troops. He has no reason to fear those 130mm caliber howitzers exported to the Holy Demon Emperor. .
"I hope so! I heard that the Air Force is producing brand-new weapons and equipment that can attack the ground." As a lieutenant general, Modler is responsible for defense in one direction. There are many things to know.
Recently, because of secrecy, an Air Force wing was deployed to his area. Looking at the planes that were training every day and hovering overhead, Modler even thought he could go south to attack Arrant. .
Originally, he was an offensive general who paid attention to attacking speed, but because Chris attached great importance to Volavor, he arranged the most famous Mordelair in this direction.
In fact, he is very eager to get rid of all troubles and conduct a southward attack at a high speed. He wants to prove himself that he can play the fastest and most efficient offensive game in this world.
"I've heard it too. It seems Your Majesty thinks that attacking from the sky can sometimes save a lot of trouble." Vagron heard this nodded, as the army commander, he naturally I have also heard of this new method of warfare.
The Air Force is equipped with a special ground attack force. I heard that it is equipped with an attack aircraft called Il-2, which is very efficient in ground attack. The new aircraft can carry a number of artillery-like weapons, which can be thrown over the heads of enemies.
Vagron had yet to see this new tactic, as training on the Air Force's side was highly classified - it would take days for the unit to be trained for possible combat.
Maudelaire continued Vagron's statement and continued: "It is true, I heard that an air route has been opened between Hanhai and the ferry, and it takes less than a morning to fly directly over the mountain range. In time, the goods can be delivered."
He looked at the distant battlefield with the telescope, where the troops representing the attacking side had jumped out of the trenches, and they were obviously ready to attack , the charge horn has sounded, and the soldiers have inserted their bayonets.
While looking at the blue army troops attacking from a distance, he said: "Mortals can fly in the sky now, I really can't think of anything else we should be afraid of."
Vagron laughed twice, and took Mordelair's words with great determination: "We have nothing to fear, as long as... we can fight for Your Majesty."
"General! The 2nd Battalion of the Blue Army has begun to move to the flank of the highland, and the 1st Battalion of the Red Army, which is in charge of defense, has given up its first line of defense." He stood at attention and saluted behind him and reported the progress of the exercise.
"Ha, that kid Walter seems to be teaching Lester a lesson. The people who came out of the 1st regiment were all brought out by Your Majesty himself. It seems that there is still a set." Varger After hearing this report, Long was very interested and laughed and gave his own evaluation.
The red defense force has been very calm since just now. The opponent seems to have given up their first-line positions, and they have no intention of wasting time on the competition for surface positions.
Walter seems to have studied the theory of large-scale defense in depth, and now he has come up with a multi-layered line of defense arrangement, so that the attacker is caught in the hard battle of positional warfare, the attacker must have to pay. quite a heavy price.
"Yeah, being by Your Majesty's side will always get you some benefits. Lester is not wronged to lose this game." Mordelair also saw the clue. , nodded his head and said, "It is inevitable to give up the first-line positions. If it were me, I would also give up." It's not impossible to insist on defense, but the price to pay is too much. Instead, it is better to put the opponent in and fight, at least the disadvantage of the Red Army's lack of large-caliber artillery has been evened out a lot.
"The artillery on the defending side hasn't moved yet, so it has pushed his 2nd battalion up, and Lester's tactics are somewhat reckless." Vagron called the head, feeling this Both corps commanders are a bit young and have more or less their own little problems.
Maudel also agreed with this view, nodded said: "Don't tell me, now both of them are the commanders of the army level 1, and then go back to calculate this kind of regiment level. The offensive and defensive battles are somewhat uncomfortable."
However, the topic of the two people quickly changed from commenting on their colleagues to feeling about the new weapons. Alanhill Because of the progress of the industry, weapons and equipment also began to increase explosively.
The troops are equipped with many new weapons, including defensive mines, company level 1 large-caliber mortars, and a new general-purpose machine gun.
When he mentioned the machine gun, Modler liked it very much: "The new machine gun is really good, I heard that it is called MG-42, Your Majesty often uses this strange name, it really makes me People don't understand."
Vagron also likes this weapon that can be used as a heavy machine gun and can also accompany soldiers in attack: "The name is not very good, but the new machine gun is very light and suitable for follow-up. The troops are advancing together, which is more suitable than the Maxim heavy machine gun."
As soon as this machine gun appeared, it immediately became the favorite of the Alanhill Army. The huge demand has made this weapon continue to increase production, and now it has almost completely replaced the Maxim heavy machine gun and has become the backbone of infantry firepower.
"Makqin heavy machine guns have now begun to be eliminated from the second line. After all, there are MG-42 machine guns, and the troops are not willing to use such heavy heavy machine guns." Some weapons began to be welcomed by the troops. Some weapons have naturally been neglected by the troops. The Mark Qin heavy machine gun, which used to be all-powerful, has now become the standard configuration of the second-line troops.
In order to prevent the giant dragon from harassing the hinterland villages, many densely populated towns Chris have arranged garrison troops and equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and other weapons and equipment, the purpose is to annihilate the dragon that penetrated into the hinterland as much as possible. Knight troops.
Vagron felt that this progress was good for the army, and said comforted: "The earlier Maxim was not wasted, and most of it was used for homeland air defense. Now the garrison of some towns is also Some anti-aircraft machine guns can be allocated for air defense.”
Compared to the time when the garrison was helpless in the face of Dragon Knight when it went south to attack the Arrant Empire, the garrison now has a very strong The anti-aircraft weapons, at least equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, can temporarily defend against the air.
Most of the 30mm caliber anti-aircraft guns are now installed in urban fixed air defense positions, and there is really not much left for ground troops. After all, now that the Air Force is growing, the air defense mission of the ground forces is not as urgent as before.
"Ha, isn't the air defense all handed over to the Air Force? Why do you still keep so many anti-aircraft machine guns?" Modlar looked towards his boss with a smile.
"It's always less reliable to rely on others. It's more convenient to rely on us. If their new toys don't work, we'll have to rely on our anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to find their way back. "Vagron laughed, and decided to rely on himself instead of others.
