Regarding the pontoon car, this was not Qin Zhiyuan’s first creation.
The British are currently developing pontoon vehicles, and the French have similar projects, both of which are designed to enable tanks to quickly pass through anti-tank trenches in front of all positions and move unimpeded on the battlefield.
Although the Germans are currently developing tanks, they do not have the pontoon vehicle project. This is probably because the Germans are currently on the defensive and have no need for offense.
Now that the project has been established, with the scientific and technological capabilities of Britain and France, finished products will soon appear. Because of Qin Zhiyuan's joining, the French pontoon car appeared earlier. The most important thing is that the old Renault has already made its debut in Britain, France and the United States.
When major Western countries apply for patents on pontoon vehicles, the patent fees will be shared by Renault and Qin Zhiyuan.
No matter when, it is very important to apply for a patent. Even if you cannot receive patent fees in hostile countries during the war, you cannot ignore this aspect of work. Qin Zhiyuan leads the first brigade if he wants to join the international game of hegemony, then
You have to abide by the rules of the game, otherwise, they won't let you play at all, and there will be no talk about the rise of the nation.
The second observation point is a shooting range near the exercise ground, where the offensive and defensive sides will use various weapons used in the exercise to conduct test firings and obtain various data to evaluate the attack effects.
The first item is the combat artillery fire of the 1st Infantry Regiment.
It is said to be a combat anti-tank gun, but it is actually a German 77 mm caliber field gun. The Germans do not yet have an anti-tank gun specifically used to fight tanks, but in view of the fact that the tanks have about one centimeter of armor at this time, they use 77 mm caliber field guns.
Even if armor-piercing bullets are not used, a four-ton light tank will be reduced to parts if it is directly hit in the face by a shot.
The German 77mm field gun is actually the sister gun of the French Miss 75.
At the beginning of the World War, the French Miss 75 did have certain advantages, but with the development of trench warfare, the shortcomings of Miss 75 such as its short range and low power were magnified exponentially. The Germans captured some of them during the war.
Miss 75, therefore the technical advantage of Miss 75 no longer exists.
The emergence of tanks gave new life to small-caliber artillery. Artillery such as Miss 75 was still very suitable for use as anti-tank guns when professional combat anti-tank guns did not appear.
Frankly speaking, the artillery hit rate of the 1st Infantry Regiment is not much lower than that of the French artillery, which is famous for its artillery. France is a romantic country. This country is filled with an atmosphere of freedom from top to bottom, and their artillery is also infected by this.
Before the World War, the French artillery once made a joke that all ten shells missed the target during exercises.
Therefore, when he saw that the direct hit rate of the artillery of the infantry regiment was almost 70%, Foch, who was an artilleryman, also had a look of surprise on his face.
Your artillery performed well. Foch nodded repeatedly.
If you give them some more time, their performance will be better. Qin Zhiyuan, who is accompanying them, is not proud.
What are your secrets in training artillery? Western Front Commander Louis was also curious. Apparently he was also dissatisfied with the French artillery in his subordinate units.
Almost not. The artillery instructors in my unit are sent by the headquarters and use the same training methods as you. If I want to emphasize it, it is hard and strict. Qin Zhiyuan answered truthfully.
But facing this answer, both Foch and Louis smiled bitterly. The French artillery could do almost everything, but it just couldn't be hard and strict.
Judging from the results, half of the tanks will be destroyed on the way from the starting position to the defensive position. Now it is Pierre who is responsible for the staff to make the summary.
The meaning of live ammunition shooting is this. Based on the hit rate of the artillery, it is calculated how many of these tanks can complete the attack. Strictly speaking, this result is still good, because in actual combat, taking into account the actual situation on the battlefield and various accidents
If half of the tanks can complete the mission, it will be considered a success.
Chen Kangjian was obviously dissatisfied with the result. As soon as Pierre announced it, Chen Kangjian jumped out to object: Impossible, my tank can move, and it is not just parked in place and passively beaten, and the tank also has a tank gun, a 75mm gun.
The tank guns are equally lethal to the defensive artillery on the position, how could half of them be destroyed?
Although it was just a drill, Chen Kangjian performed very fiercely, as if his tank had really been destroyed.
Half of them are small. In fact, there are many other methods on the position. I can guarantee that at most only one tenth of your tanks can rush into the position, and then they will be burned into scrap metal by the flamethrower. The old god Liu Zizheng is here,
Chen Kangjian was not moved at all.
Nonsense, my tank is accompanied by infantry. How can you let your pyro soldiers burn the tank? Your pyro soldiers were turned into torches before they even reached the tank. Chen Kangjian jumped up to retort. Fortunately, he took into account the senior officers on the scene.
Chen Kangjian actually used French.
These people's French skills are improving really fast
There are mines planted in front of my position, there are machine guns on the position, and there are artillery behind the position. You don't have many infantrymen. Liu Zi is confident.
Don't we have artillery here? There will definitely be two or three days of firepower preparation before attacking. Your anti-tank gun will probably not be able to fire a single shot and will be destroyed on the gun position. Chen Kangjian is even more confident.
My artillery is usually in the anti-tank hole. If your tanks don't come up, my artillery won't come out at all. Why do you shoot down my anti-tank artillery? Liu Zizheng didn't panic.
Well, when I launched the attack, the covering artillery fire began to extend, and your artillery began to push out at this time. My artillery was 500 meters away from your position. When the tank launched an attack at full power, the speed could reach 18 kilometers per hour.
In other words, how long has it been that Chen Kangjian, who is ignorant and has no skills, has been stuck.
5 meters, five meters per second. Pierre reminded maliciously.
Yes, five meters. It only takes less than two minutes for my tank to rush to your position. Can your artillery be ready to fire within two minutes? Chen Kangjian was proud.
There is not much difference between 100 seconds and two minutes. In fact, this time estimate is wrong. On the battlefield, facing complex terrain conditions, it is impossible to run at maximum speed. Although the tanks of the first brigade have been upgraded to increase engine horsepower
It reaches 18 kilometers per hour, but the advancement speed on the battlefield should still be about ten kilometers per hour.
It’s okay Liu Zizheng doesn’t talk nonsense.
Then try Chen Kangjian if you don’t believe it.
Just give it a try, Liu Zizheng gave an order, and six soldiers pushed up the artillery weighing less than 700 kilograms and ran away. It seemed quite easy. After pushing less than 20 meters, the artillery unfolded according to the operating procedures, and the range-finding soldiers began
After measuring the range, the gunner continued to issue various orders. Sure enough, in less than 2 minutes, the artillery deployed smoothly, completed launch preparations, and was ready to fire at any time.
Liu Zizheng and Chen Kangjian were constantly fighting in various ways, and Foch and Louis looked at Qin Zhiyuan with more and more solemn eyes.
Well, the troops in hand have strong combat effectiveness, which can indeed improve the general's status.
