Chapter 6: The road is tortuous, and the result is certain!

　　 Generally speaking, the prince still has an advantage. No matter how far-sighted the prince is, he has a certain limit. He can think of machine guns and trench defense systems because these things have appeared. And such things as rapid-fire artillery have never appeared on land! If the prince can think of this, Ruprecht is very willing to ask for his mobile phone number.

　　 The first wave of suppression of the firepower of the prince was the first to have an accident. When the German artillery fired the first empty bullet, before the artillery had time to reset, the series of guns on the opposite position really shocked people! "This is at least the firepower of an artillery company!" A series of loud noises came from a distance, making His Royal Highness a little at a loss. And Earl Schelling next to him a minute later reminded. "Your artillery position has been destroyed. In actual combat, at this distance, it is impossible for your artillery to survive such a fierce shelling!" Lord Earl faithfully performed the duties assigned to him by the Prince and said seriously.

　　 "I really got something!" His Royal Highness, who had lost the two artillery pieces, immediately adjusted the deployment. He required all artillery pieces to be arranged behind the shelter and forced the elevation angle of the artillery to be raised. The muzzle velocity of the old artillery using maroon gunpowder itself is relatively low, and the ballistic trajectory is relatively curved, and the bunkers constructed hastily succeeded in the opponent's shooting dead angle! "When the cavalry launched a charge, at least two artillery guns were left to release smoke bombs! In order to reduce the killing effect of the machine gun, the prince specially ordered.

　　 What is it called? Not afraid of godlike opponents but piggy teammates! And this time, Ruprecht would add another sentence: Don't be afraid of the opponent's god-like weapon, just be afraid of the reliability of your own coffee table! The new rapid-fire gun that was originally intended for acting finally had a problem under the exercise close to the actual combat environment! After one artillery fired 8 shells in one minute, there was a problem with the hydraulic equipment! TM is leaking again!

　　 At this time Ruprecht had to sigh for a powerful historical inertia. In the history of the rapid-fire gun, we encountered a series of problems before the birth of the rapid-fire gun, and none of us passed through it! People in later generations know that the famous French M1897 rapid-fire gun, almost the longest range and largest projection of its kind, makes Miss 75 proud of the world. However, this artillery was not the first rapid-fire gun. In 1889, the French developed a 57MM rapid-fire gun with a short recoil, which was not too successful due to immature reasons in various aspects.

　　 At the same time, a German engineer was also studying rapid-fire guns, and this was Annadenhauser, who had just become a Viscount. In history, he designed the first long recoil rapid-fire gun, which was patented in 1891. The hydraulic back seat equipment is used. But at the same time, he couldn't solve the leakage problem in a short time and missed Krupp. The traverser successfully found the designer, and at the same time successfully restored this set of rapid-fire guns that had appeared later. But in the end it succeeded in inheriting the technical problem of this immature artillery-liquid leakage!

　　 If it weren't for this technical problem, the traverser would also like to have a friendly discussion with his uncle. Could it be so much? But from now on, it seems that the result is even worse!

　　 There was a problem with the first door, and there might be a problem with the second door. The fierce and fierce artillery left a deep impression on the prince. But then the artillery of the two gun nests actually misfired. He was a little surprised, but in line with the principle of going up if you had the chance, under the cover of artillery, a company of Bavarian cavalry launched a charge! At this time, there is only one artillery that the traverser can use to intercept the opponent's attack! Originally there were 4 artillery pieces, of which 3 artillery pieces could be fired in any direction. However, after the two artillery had problems, the traverser found sadly that he could only rely on one artillery to resist the impact of a company of cavalry! What's more sad is that this cavalry company also has a battery of artillery cover!

However, the comprehensive performance of the M1897 rapid-fire gun imitated by the traverser is really good. In addition to the firepower and range, another advantage is that it is lighter. The gun of more than 1 ton is barely within the range of manpower, which is considered to have a "certain". The battlefield mobility! After abandoning the historical monopod mount, the artillery with the bipod mount reached 25 degrees! Far beyond the original 6 degrees! And these designs finally won a chance for His Royal Highness!

　　 The so-called two fists are hard to beat by four hands. When a battery of artillery fired on the still-usable rapid-fire gun for 10 minutes, Earl Schelling announced that the gun had lost its effect. Subsequently, the prince’s cavalry decisively launched a charge! Just when the cavalry were no more than 700 meters away from the trench, the last artillery had moved to a suitable position, and the frightening artillery sounded again! This artillery fired wildly at a rate of 6 rounds per minute. At the same time, the machine gun on the front began to roar!

"Your cavalry will suffer heavy casualties under this kind of firepower. In theory, even if your cavalry can break through this line of defense, the remaining personnel and horses will not exceed 30%." Earl Schelling's crow mouth spoke again, honestly Said that he was still satisfied with the performance of the little prince. Although the result is certain. "If you withdraw your rear cavalry, then you can retain some strength." The count suggested.

Although he invested a company of cavalry on the offensive, the prince’s formation was still very open, and he had seen the power of the machine gun, so he wanted to find places with weak firepower to assault, but he had to say that the opponent’s crossfire was arranged. Very good, there are not many weaknesses on the attack surface.

"Push half of the artillery forward." Although there were huge "casualties", the cavalry used speed to rush to the final distance. If nothing happens, the result of this exercise has been determined, but it is safe to do so. , The prince still ordered some artillery to approach!

The cavalry quickly crossed the first trench and passed by the artillery. According to the rules of the exercise, this line of defense had been breached and the artillery position was also destroyed. The knights continued to move forward and could rush through the opponent with one more effort. The core line of defense. And at this moment the roar of the machine gun came from behind! The side knock and back knock positions arranged by the traversers on the flanks finally came into play!

　　 "Too cunning!" The prince had to admit that his nephew was too insidious and cunning! The machine gun group that was suddenly attacked was on the side of the cavalry attack line, and in this case the lethality of the side shot was too strong! If this is actual combat, this time a side shot can kill a platoon of cavalry!

　　 All the cavalry of a company "fallen" on the way to attack. The prince lost half of his troops, but Ruprecht, who was the defensive side, also wiped out his hole cards! Two artillery could not be used due to malfunctions. One artillery was destroyed by the opponent’s artillery, and the other was destroyed by the cavalry. The artillery was naturally unable to keep the position without the machine gun. When the last side attack position was exposed, the defending army lost the last one. machine gun! The opponent also has a cavalry company and an artillery company! The result is already obvious!

"Let's go, go and see my good nephew!" When Earl Schelling signaled the end of the exercise, the prince and his entourage stepped onto the defensive position, and he was greeted by an iron-faced Rupley. Prince Hitt and his captain of the bodyguard, Viscount Schmidt.

　　 "If you have two more guns, the outcome of the battle will be difficult to tell. My artillery has double the number of guns, but I don't have the firepower to match the number advantage." The prince said calmly.

"There was a little technical problem with those two artillery pieces." Ruprecht almost found a seam to drill in. The reliability problem that UU Reading www.uukanshu.com tried to avoid was completely exposed in this actual combat. . The prince was so cold in his heart! The unwillingness in my heart can be imagined.

　　 "A good thing, the flaws are not concealed." The prince wandered around a problematic artillery and said after looking at the leaking hydraulic cylinder. In fact, the prince is also entangled in his heart! If it is a normal test situation, if a cannon hits more than 20 shells and there is a problem, I will definitely not tolerate it!

　　 But the current situation has changed a little. During the exercise, the firepower of a new artillery almost suppressed one of his company's artillery! And let himself suffer heavy losses. This comparison in performance has reached the point where it can overwhelm certain flaws, and the equipment of the new artillery will definitely raise the combat effectiveness of the German army to a new level.

　　 Such a high rate of fire made the prince who had been an artillery regiment commander startled. What's more, after all, everyone is a family, if you can use the new artillery produced by yourself instead of buying the artillery of an upstart living in Essen, it would be great. A few simple words indicate the Prince's final conclusion that the general direction is good and can be supported. At that time, let's deal with the technical problems first.

　　 Then, the prince walked in front of the eye of a machine gun, but its super small size and weight surprised the prince! The simple tripod replaces the original gun mount, and the volume of the entire machine gun receiver is much smaller than the Maxine machine gun. The weight has been reduced to the extent that it can be taken apart by infantry, and the volume can be easily hidden in In the bunker, reduce the probability of being destroyed by artillery. After optimization, this is definitely an epoch-making infantry weapon!
