General Beachlin mentioned in his post-war summary that light infantry field artillery could have been used to attack the enemy's throwers and personnel, but the Hicks only built a few wooden rafts and placed them in front of the throwers to block them.
It was bombarded by light infantry field artillery. The fist-sized solid iron pellets that smashed a wooden platoon were not as fast as the enemy planting several more wooden rafts in front. In the end, they could only use grenades against grenades, and then add
The use of new rifles to kill the personnel operating the throwers by name only suppressed the momentum of the Hicks throwing iron pumpkins.
The same was true when Claude attacked the Hicks camp on the northern mountainous border. In addition to being tricked by the Hicks at first, Claude later asked the Hicks prisoners to build half-human-high trenches above them.
The mud wall and earthen ramparts. As a result, the light infantry field artillery placed on the second protective wall by the Hicks lost its effect. It was no longer possible to use solid shells fired by the light infantry field artillery to attack the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion. In the end,
It was almost completely blown up by the throwing bombs, and it was easy for the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion to capture the position...
It seems that Clodmin's throwing bombs have set the world's war development on a skewed path. Artillery is not as powerful as throwing bombs. Artillery without explosive shells is indeed not as threatening as throwing bombs on the battlefield. For hundreds of years
The history of war has taught soldiers of various countries how to deal with artillery, earthen wall sandbags, and wooden platoon shield vehicles. These can withstand the bombardment of medium and light artillery. On the contrary, the grenades falling from the sky and exploding on the ground are more threatening and lethal.
.
Claude was planning to re-develop explosive shells. He remembered that there were explosive shells in his previous life during the Ming Dynasty, but he did not believe that he could not develop them. He believed that the difficulty in opening the shells lay in the composition of the shells. As a poor weapons idiot, he gave Sonia
The lady painted a modern artillery shell structure, with a bullet and a barrel. The barrel will fall out after firing, and the bullet will explode when it hits the ground or touches the target. As for why it explodes, he has no idea what the structure is inside.
Already......
As a result, the more he explained artillery to Mrs. Sonia, the more confused she became. Because the artillery painted by Claude looked like the modern howitzer and mountain cannon that he had seen in those anti-Japanese dramas in his previous life.
It was completely different from the front-loading light infantry field artillery used in current battlefield equipment. In the end, Mrs. Sonia drove Claude out of the laboratory when she was angry, thinking that he was talking nonsense.
The second military research project is the long-tube rocket. This thing was described in detail on the Internet in a book that Claude remembered reading in his previous life. The protagonist traveled to the late Ming Dynasty, and the next step was to develop his ambitions and recruit famous generals as ministers.
Under his command, he recruited beautiful women and opened up a harem, built muskets and artillery, organized phalanxes and massacred the Tatars, and finally a common thief settled the world and sat on the throne to usher in a prosperous era. The plot was so vulgar that even the title of the book and the name of the protagonist were given by Claude
Forgot.
However, the long-barreled rocket mentioned in the book is very original. The protagonist was limited by the lack of funds and equipment when he first started to recruit troops, and was unable to withstand the Tatar attack. So he built this long-barreled rocket, which was rolled into a long iron tube.
Add gunpowder of white phosphorus, a long barrel with a pointed end, and three tail fins at the back of the tail. Place it on a wire stand, light it, and shoot.
Like two kicks, this iron-clad long-barrel rocket can fly a mile away, plunge into the Tatar military camp and explode, causing white phosphorus to splash everywhere and catch fire. The protagonist relies on this simple long-barrel rocket to withstand the Tatar attack
After two attacks, he was promoted and gained the favor of a beautiful woman from a brothel. It is said that the only shortcoming of this long-barreled rocket is that it cannot accurately control the shooting target. Sometimes it will cause Brownian motion, which will threaten the life of the shooter...
Lady Sonia was very interested in this long-barreled rocket and decided to study the project first. However, she did not want to listen to Claude's detailed explanation, so as not to disturb her thinking.
The last civilian project was very simple. Claude was going to give it to his sister Anna to complete. This project was to make cigarettes. Claude rolled a cigarette with thin white paper in front of his sister Anna and made an ivory cigarette holder without a filter.
.Claude needs his sister Anna to develop auxiliary machinery for hand-rolling cigarettes so that large quantities of cigarettes can be produced...
Claude believes that as long as cigarettes are promoted, the Field family will never be short of money again...
