Chapter 1327： Empire weapon three

Chapter 1327 Empire weapon (3)

As for the flat-fire artillery, because of its high accuracy, it can be shot through repeated direct aiming to kill the bunkers, whether it is a tank or a bunker, the so-called defensive XXX caliber artillery can be blocked once, if it hits an area continuously, whether it is steel or steel Concrete, you have to kneel at the end. So in theory, flat-fire guns can solve all problems. When destroying such bunkers, flat-fire guns are definitely better to use.

The last issue is the range, the so-called one inch long and one inch strong. This thing is absolutely correct when used in artillery. If you are fighting in a plain area, the howitzer is definitely more powerful. Mortars are more suitable for defense, because you can build positions and even change terrain. But please, now you are offensive... Long-range artillery is definitely better.

As for whether the large-caliber mortar can be changed to breech loading, strengthen the barrel, and increase the initial velocity or something? Of course it is possible, but in this way, the cost and weight will rise linearly, and because of structural problems, you are definitely not as good as a barrel gun in terms of range and accuracy. As for if you have to add a flat shot attribute, you can increase the range and accuracy. After the war, there was something called a howitzer... This is not something that can appear now.

The super-heavy artillery and mortar are controlled by the military class and the group army. After breaking through the defense line, they have little to do with the assault troops. The only ones that can accompany the breakthrough of the fast division and armor division are the beetles and wasps that can provide on-call fire support. The former is a powerful weapon to deal with various bunkers, and occasionally can provide firepower suppression. After all, after increasing the firing angle, the range of up to 15 kilometers is not a joke. The latter is the nemesis of field infantry, dominating all kinds of crowds. Both far and near are included.

It can be said that when there is no special reinforcement of the Russian army, the rapid division supported by the Bavarian mobile artillery is completely the standard of the Russian army in the firepower level! After all, after a year of **** battles, Russian heavy artillery suffered heavy losses, and there were many cases of missing or even not editing. There used to be 120MM cannons at the military level. Now, many new troops are gone. If you can give you 107MM cannons, it’s worthy of you. Even some troops are all 3-inch rapid-fire guns. No way, Russians. There are quite a lot of these things now...

As for you, since you have a traverser, can you strengthen it? For example, get a 150MM self-propelled cannon or something? Well, if you want to do it, you can do it naturally. There is no technical problem. Don’t you see that the French can even install the 194MM naval gun on the tracked chassis?

But these artillery certainly did not accompany the operations of the frontline troops. And to be honest, to deal with the Russians, using such a tall thing is a waste, enough is enough, and the Wasp 150MM self-propelled artillery can also be a howitzer, and if you don’t have a 150MM cannon, it’s not a wasp assault gun. The site can bear it, and the site that is too big and too heavy is not suitable for rushing along with the rapid forces. After all, stability and speed will be very problematic.

These artillery generally consist of 8 to form a reinforced artillery company, which is used to assign various assault divisions. Technically speaking, these reinforced artillery companies are fully motorized, and more than 70% of the vehicles are half-track and crawler vehicles. The off-road performance is very good. Force the grid that is absolutely full! However, the prince not only prepared a number of motorized self-propelled artillery units for Mackensen, but at the same time, in order to make these units go more smoothly and more swiftly, he also assigned additional volunteer troops, from building bridges and paving roads to supporting maintenance, communication and communication. ! Compared with the hard power that can be seen, these soft power are also very important!

In fact, tanks are very delicate, not to mention now, even in World War II or even the Cold War, the motorcycle hours of tanks are very precious. (That is, tanks use their own power to march.) Generally, tanks rely on trains for their maneuvers, and they also use trailers to assist them when they rush to the front line on land. Otherwise, the first thing the tank does when it gets to the position is not to fight, but to overhaul the engine, or even just change it...

Taking into account the technical conditions of World War I and the road conditions that the Russians urged, the engines of these tanks need to be overhauled after a raid of 150 to 200 kilometers. If they drive 250 kilometers in one breath, they basically wait for the engine to be replaced, so According to the current battlefield situation, almost all tanks need to replace their engines at least once... As for the cases where the track, road wheels, or suspension are broken in battle, there are more cases, so in the long-range assault, the protection must keep up.

Therefore, in order to ensure a quick assault by the armored units, Prince Ruprecht prepared two repair vehicles for Mackensen’s army. One of them is a half-track repair vehicle called a nurse. The vehicle is equipped with the most basic Towing equipment, simple cranes and scaffolding, various simple accessories, such as track shoes and road wheels, etc., are mainly used to repair lightly injured tanks, or to drag damaged tanks away from the battlefield.

The other is a crawler-type emergency repair vehicle called a doctor, which is equipped with a crane with a larger strategy, which can complete more complicated maintenance tasks including replacing the turret and engine. In the case of sufficient spare parts, it is possible to repair the gearbox easily.

In addition to repairing equipment, the Rapid Corps as the spearhead is also equipped with excess engineering units and construction vehicles. In order to ensure that components with a maximum of more than 20 tons can safely cross the river and repair bridges damaged by the Russians, the German Army is the first A variety of bridge vehicles have also appeared. This type of so-called ferry bridge tank uses pre-prepared steel structural components. With the help of engineers, a heavy siege can be quickly built with the help of engineers. The bridge through which the gun passed.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of communication, each divisional unit also deployed an additional communication company. These units equipped with the new multi-band high-power radios produced by the Bavarian Electronic Technology Group and Siemens can ensure effective communication between divisions and between divisions and regiment-level units.

In addition to these products from Bavaria, Mackensen also received an unexpected gift package, which was a gift from the other side of the ocean. A total of 2500 Dodge 3.5-ton trucks. For vehicles from the United States of America, the Germans commented that the workmanship It is not fine enough, but it is very skinny, and it can still be used normally even if it is overloaded to 5 tons. And because it is equipped with new wide tires, it has better adaptability to the wild. Some of these vehicles were converted into fuel transport vehicles in order to provide enough fuel for the huge consumption of armored forces.

"For this battle, I personally think that our logistical pressure is probably more terrible than the Russians on the opposite side. However, with enough preparation, I believe that there is no technical problem in completing the encirclement." Mackenson wrote in his diary. Write.
