The contemporary artillery forces of Daheng and even the blue stars, because of the huge influence of the Evergrande War, have been focusing on the development of great power and long -range artillery in recent decades.
Especially in the Erisa Empire, who had eaten the Daheng Army's heavy artillery troops in the Evergrande War.
When the war was not over that year, they began to replace a large number of nine -pound field artillery. In the next decades, they especially paid attention to the development of heavy artillery.
Of course, they can't say that they are equipped with heavy artillery. After all, the terrain of the Orisa Empire is not as flat as the Great Empire. Many of them are mountains and hills, so they adopt a method of binding weight.
But even so, the main field guns of the Orisa Empire today have changed from five pounds decades ago, and the seven -pound artillery became a nine -km field gun gun.
The development of the artillery of the Orissa Empire is generally the development of artillery in other countries in recent decades. One by one has been influenced by the Great Heng Army, and then a large -scale equipped with heavy artillery.
And the Daheng Army, as the initiator, let alone.
In today's Dayheng Town, its artillery troops are particularly focused on the range and power.
Usually, the artillery forces in each Fan Town have a lot of heavy artillery.
The core main force is naturally the field artillery force. These field artillery troops are usually accompanied by five -pound field guns, seven pounds field guns, nine -pound field guns, and pounds of 14 pounds or eighteen pounds.
Fanzhen, which is relatively complicated in the terrain, may be equipped with light howitzers with nine pounds, fourteen pounds and other calibers.
Cavalry forces are generally matched with light -type five pounds, seven -pound cavalry field guns, nine pounds grenades guns, etc.
However, although there are more artillery artillery for field artillery troops in each town, the core main artillery is often a clear nine -pound field cannon plus the eighteen pound of howitzer.
Without him, the two have a farther range and more powerful. It can even be said to be the largest cannon that can be carried by the field troops. If it is big, it is difficult to move with the army.
But just looking at the field artillery troops, in fact, it is impossible to see how the Daheng Army attaches importance to the range and power of artillery.
It can really reflect that Daheng's Fan Town pays attention to artillery.
Dahengli has a slightly powerful Fanzhen, and there will be heavy artillery troops under the hands.
In the past, there were three heavy artillery groups in a small Luo'an County!
One of the heavy artillery groups, that is, the sixth cannon group fell under Lin Ziran, and there were more than thirty heavy artillery under the hands of Li Kun's family.
These heavy artillery, can be a long pipe and a cannon or an ultra -heavy howitzer or even a siege. It is very useful for siege.
So fighting in this place, there are two indispensable.
cavalry!
Heavy artillery!
Without these two, I can't fight at all.
Last year, Li Kun went south from Chong Guangcheng, and once wanted to conquer Li Xuan's Shuang City.
At that time, if it wasn't for the heavy artillery troops of Kong Deyi, Li Xuan did not expect to keep Nan Guangcheng at all, because Li Kun came with dozens of heavy artillery and dozens of nine -pound field guns at that time.
If you can't maintain an advantage in the artillery battle and the counterattack, there will be no way to talk about the city.
In such a heavy country, even if the light howitzer is a market, there is no big market. Unless the van town with many mountains is forced to use these light howitzers, most of the other towns are not used.
Even if it was a mountainous land in the northern part of Luo'an County, Lin Ziran still didn't engage in any light howitzer. Although the stuff was light, it was really not used.
The first speed is only half or even lower in the field guns. Even if it is on the hard soil, it is difficult to bounce, let alone the solid cannon bomb to kill the enemy's queue.
If this stuff is used as the main field firepower of artillery, it will be scum by a large number of field artillery by the enemy.
However, the nine -pound light mortar gun from Qingshan Machine Factory is different. This stuff is light enough.
Although the nine pounds of light howitzer is also very light, it also has hundreds of kilograms of guns, and it must be used with a cannon rack with wheels to move.
So even if this thing is lighter than the field cannon, it also belongs to the regular artillery, which belongs to the eight artillery equipment.
But the nine pound light mortar guns are different. In Lin Ziran's view, even if the simplified version of the mortar.
The cannon uses an iron casting cannon. The cannons are very short. It can fire standard nine pounds of circular grenades. The maximum range can reach 400.
Although this range is not as far as the Mini rifle, it is not a bullet that this stuff is hit, but shells!
At four hundred meters distance, there is no need to shoot accurately at all. A grenadian can play a lot of role.
Although the accuracy is poor and the range is close, Lin Ziran values that this light mortar can allow the infantry to directly bring the battlefield, accompanied by the infantry forces to provide a medium -range gunfire support.
Therefore, Lin Ziran intends to give the infantry troops with a number of these nine -pound light mortar artillery trial.
Anyway, this light mortar gun uses an iron -casting cannon -made floor, which is very low in cost. The purchase price is less than 100 yuan ...
Because this stuff itself is cheap, positioning is the firepower directly under the low price, so the shell launching can naturally not use the latest type of grenades and maroon gunpowder, and directly use the inventory of a large amount of black gunpowder and the old grenade.
Anyway, after the new type of grenades and maroon gunpowder production lines are completed, these new ammunition can be provided. In addition, the new ammunition of inventory is enough to make the artillery force of the sixth division use the new type of ammunition.
In this case, the artillery force will not continue to use old ammunition. After all, between this new ammunition and the old -fashioned ammunition, the effective range is too large. However, it is possible that the artillery forces will choose new ammunition.
In this way, the inventory of the black gunpowder was launched and the old grenade can also be used for these cheap light mortar artillery. It can be used for waste.
As for the actual combat effects of these light mortar guns, you have to look at it again. If you use it, continue the equipment. If there is no use, it will be directly withdrawn.
Anyway, Lin Ziran has never expected this stuff to play any decisive role.
Lin Ziran is very clear that the firepower that the troops can rely on today are still those field guns and grenades.
Do n’t worry about the field guns. He previously purchased the new nine -pound field guns produced by more than 40 Nanzhou Machinery Bureau through various commercial banks under Nanzhou Bank, and there were twenty -pound new field guns.
The field artillery artillery with a total of more than sixty doors, even if it is Daheng, who pays attention to heavy artillery, is enough for a army of more than 10,000 people. It is enough.
However, the mid -diameter howitzer used with these field guns is about 150 millimeters of caliber. The field grenade cannon that weighs the 18th National Congress is relatively lacking.
