When artillery was first born, it did not attract much attention.
There was a popular saying in Europe at that time: infantry requires rigorous training, while artillery only requires temporary employment.
Since the Napoleonic era, artillery has become an independent branch and has achieved the same status as infantry and cavalry.
In 1897, the French produced the Schneider MLE 189 75mm field gun. This artillery adopted a variety of latest technologies and was the first artillery in the world to adopt a retraction system. This made its performance far ahead of that of its contemporaries.
Artillery. The firing speed of artillery reached an astonishing 15 rounds per minute.
Because the performance of this artillery was so excellent that the French affectionately called it Miss 75 to express their love for her.
Demps Gale is a loyal fan of Miss 75.
Using artillery to repeatedly bombard enemy positions has long existed. The Germans were already prepared, but the effect was not very good. Using infantry as bait is more dangerous, because infantry commanders are accustomed to acting according to plans.
It is probably not a good idea to start charging after the artillery fire has extended, and let them charge half the way and then stop. Demps Gale did not agree with Qin Zhiyuan's plan.
Nowadays, we are no longer in the era when conveying military orders requires a lot of effort. The emergence of telephones has made communication more convenient and faster. Orders from the rear headquarters can be conveyed to the frontline commanders within a second. I don’t think this is very difficult. It is still a rigid idea.
Question, Qin Zhiyuan somewhat understood why the French were completely defeated in World War II.
In fact, at the beginning of World War I, if it were not for the weak German offensive, Paris had already become the possession of the Germans. Before the Battle of the Marne, the German forward troops were only 70 kilometers away from Paris. If not for
Joseph Gallieni, then the commander of the Paris city defense, organized the famous taxi troop transport, and the French had already tasted the fall of the capital.
No, no, no, the infantry in my impression does not have such execution ability. Demps Gale still disagrees.
Mine can be done early tomorrow morning. We can test it first. Qin Zhiyuan insisted.
Well, if you insist. Before arriving, Demps Gale received an order to cooperate with the Sixth Regiment in fighting, so Demps Gale did not resist Qin Zhiyuan's insistence.
Then give it a try.
The test was the next day, and Qin Zhiyuan had other things to do that night.
A batch of military supplies produced in the United States arrived in Kapi, which was requested by Qin Zhiyuan.
This batch of supplies includes one thousand pump-action shotguns with a caliber of 18 mm, which fire a special deer hunting bullet. Each bullet contains 12 steel balls and has an effective range of up to 100 meters.
This is Qin Zhiyuan's weapon prepared for trench warfare.
This batch of supplies also includes 50,000 Mills-type offensive grenades. Instead of using fragments and steel balls to kill the enemy after the explosion, this grenade is suitable for attacking enemy bunkers or buildings in offensive operations. After the grenade explodes, use the
A large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas, or shock wave, achieves killing and destruction.
In order to quickly turn this grenade into a defensive grenade, Qin Zhiyuan customized a steel ball bag from Renault. As long as this steel ball bag is put on the Mills grenade, when the grenade explodes, 800 steel balls will be produced.
Used to kill and injure the attacking enemy's effective forces.
The biggest difference between defensive grenades and offensive grenades is the killing range. After the offensive grenade is thrown, the person using the grenade will continue to charge, so fragments cannot be used to kill the enemy. The killing radius of defensive grenades may be greater than the throwing distance, so
After throwing, you must hide in a bunker, otherwise it may cause accidental injury.
After the shotguns and grenades were in place, Qin Zhiyuan reorganized the troops involved in the attack.
In Qin Zhiyuan's plan, before the war begins, scouts led by Hu Tingfeng and Jin Taihe will be sent to the German rear, cut off the German telephone lines and telegraph lines, and snipe the German communication personnel. In order to resist possible German attacks
To attack, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Greif to select some soldiers to join the scout team to strengthen the combat strength of the scouts.
The equipment of this group of people is mainly Lewis-type light machine guns and 98a rifles, which take into account continuous firepower and precise strikes.
There were a total of 2,000 troops participating in the frontal attack, with Chen Kangjian's camp and Liu Zizheng's camp as the main ones, and Zhang Tianshou's troops as the reserve.
Frontal attacking troops are mainly equipped with shotguns and grenades, supplemented by a certain number of Lewis machine guns and mg15 machine guns. These mg15 machine guns are equipped with additional tripods. Once the German position is occupied, only the tripod needs to be replaced, and the mg15 will become mg08.
Heavy machine gun, used to defend against possible German counterattacks.
After a new weapon is issued to the troops, it originally takes a certain amount of time to become familiar with the performance of the weapon in order to develop combat effectiveness. Fortunately, the shotgun is not difficult to use. You only need to take a rough aim to kill the enemy with the coverage of the projectile. The soldiers only need to be familiar with loading bullets.
It doesn't take long.
In addition to weapons, Qin Zhiyuan also prepared other things, such as large pliers for breaking down barbed wire fences, small explosive packs for destroying anti-tank trenches, smoke bombs for attacking, etc. He is not afraid of having too many things.
I'm afraid I'm not prepared enough.
It is expected that the preparations will be completed around the next night.
Starting from the next day, Demps Gale and Zheng Dali organized artillery to launch a fire attack on Elbecourt.
Demps Gale's artillery brigade has 12 155mm artillery pieces and 48 75mm artillery pieces. The number of 75mm artillery pieces is about the same as that of the Sixth Regiment, but the 155mm artillery pieces are the envy of Zheng Dali and Cheng Feiming.
Artillery is divided into two types according to its purpose: suppressive artillery and infantry accompanying artillery. Both 155mm artillery and 75mm artillery can be used as suppressive artillery. In terms of power, the 75mm is obviously inferior to the 155mm.
Zheng Dali looked at the artillery and didn't care about anything else. He only looked at the caliber. The barrel of the 155mm artillery was nearly three times thicker and nearly twice as long as the barrel of the 75mm artillery. Zheng Dali was dazzled when he looked at the thick barrel of the 155mm artillery.
She was so confused that she decided to ask Qin Zhiyuan for help after this battle.
The kind of begging that means hanging yourself if you don't give.
When nearly a hundred artillery pieces were deployed, the artillery position covered an area of nearly a thousand square meters. When all the artillery pieces were ready to fire, Dempsgaier gave an order, and the heavy artillery fired in unison, which was deafening, and the ground under his feet was shaking violently.
It's like standing on a war drum.
I rely on the spectacle. Li Fayun, an officer of the Beiyang Department, was stunned by the scene in front of him. In his impression, a unit with 10 artillery can be considered to have ferocious firepower. Nearly a hundred artillery fire at the same time. This spectacular scene is only
It only appears in dreams.
After all, the French are quite wasteful. If you don't try to reason with them, Zheng Dali teases the dumbfounded Li Fayun.
The two of them were locked up in a dark room for two days because of a quarrel, but their relationship became much closer. The friendship between men is sometimes very puzzling.
