Chapter 2178： Imitation "Made in the Border Region" hand-held ammunition

While the Habsburg family was studying tactics to deal with the Swiss Resistance, Marin and his generals were also studying how to break through the army formation of the Grand Duchy of Moscow on the Lüneburg steppe of the North Sea.

Marin's requirements are still very high, what he wants is not to defeat, but to rout. If the Moscow army was defeated, it might be able to retreat as a whole. If you can keep most of your strength, it will be very troublesome to besiege Moscow City next.

What? You mean the pursuit of the Cossacks? Marin also brought 5,000 Cossack cavalry over this time, which may not be enough for the pursuit. You know, there are thousands and thousands of people. The army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is boundless in numbers or even dozens. With so many people, even if they were defeated, the people at the front couldn't escape in time because they were blocked by the people behind. Similarly, the people in front also blocked the pursuit of Marin's army.

If there is an army of 100,000 people, even chasing and killing 100,000 pigs will take a lot of energy and time. If the elites of the Grand Duchy of Moscow ran away and hid in the city because of this, it would be difficult.

Therefore, Marin's requirement in this battle is not to defeat the enemy head-on, but to defeat the enemy! Don't let them have the opportunity to cover the main force to escape!

In this way, the army of Beihai Kingdom is required to have the ability to quickly break through its frontal defense, so that the high-level Moscow army cannot react and lose the opportunity to lead the main force to escape.

Before, Marin had determined the tactics, that is, the tactics of facing the enemy head-on with artillery shelling and the use of single-headed clockwork muskets.

If this set of tactics is used against the armies of Western European countries, it will definitely be a great success. Because the armies of Western European countries are used to placing elite veterans in the front row and recruits in the back row.

If the single-headed bullet and artillery shell are fired together, it can kill a large number of veterans and elites of the opponent at once, causing them to lose most of their combat effectiveness.

But the tactics and tactics of the Moscow army followed Mongolia. In the face of the enemy's bow, arrows and firearms, the Mongolian-style Moscow army often puts a batch of cannon fodder at the front, so that the cannon fodder soldiers attract the enemy's firepower. Then, the main force rushed up from behind to hack and slash.

This is the traditional craft of the nomadic peoples in northern China, and later Houjin also used to use this method. In the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast, they captured the savage "born Jurchen", made them wear heavy armor, and rushed to the front.

But many born girls are really hunters in the forest and are not good at horseback riding. Therefore, the Houjin army **** these raw girls who were not good at horseback riding, fixed them on the saddle, and let them be cannon fodder and take the lead in charging. If you survive, reward them with a few bottles of burning knives, or let them burn, kill and loot. If you die... nothing...

The Grand Duchy of Moscow, ruled by the Mongolian Golden Horde for hundreds of years, also learned this shameless tactic. However, they did not use barbarians, but directly let the people at the bottom take worn-out spears, not even armor, and let them charge in front. If they retreat, the regular army will "enforce the law" against them and behead them on the spot. Anyway, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has a large population, and the people at the bottom, in the eyes of the princes of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, are just gray animals, and they are not afraid of consumption.

So, there is no joy in repelling the first attack of the forces of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Because, the other party's elite must be in the second batch. Destroying the first wave of the opponent will hardly hurt the opponent.

Therefore, Marin decided to learn the tactics of the devils and launch a violent attack from the side to cause chaos.

Before, Marin also "invented" a powerful and improved "Swarm", which is very effective against the enemy. Even wearing oriental-style armor, it is difficult to resist the magical arrows sent by "Swarm".

However, after many confrontation drills, Marin and his officers found that if the opponent had a large shield on the side, the lethality of a swarm would be greatly weakened. However, in the Moscow army, there are many sword and shield soldiers, holding round wooden shields, which are often used to protect the flanks. If you encounter sword and shield soldiers, the lethality of "Swarm" will be greatly reduced.

"How did the devil break through the defense of the Guo Army?" Malin thought hard.

Before, Marin thought it was the credit of the two crooked machine guns, after all, the firepower was suppressed. But it's not right to think about it. The crooked handle machine gun has strong firepower, but the Czech machine gun of the Guo Army is not weak, or even better.

Then, Marin thought of the devil's most classic weapon - the grenade!

Generally speaking, in the face of the Devil's attack, Guo Jun won't stand there stupidly and shoot at the Devil, and will definitely build a defensive position to block it. For example, sandbags are often piled up on the street on TV. This kind of sandbag has good protection and can't be penetrated by bullets. No matter how powerful the crooked-handled machine gun is, it is still difficult to penetrate the sandbag, and at most, the Guo army can't stand up. However, to end this defensive position, it is obviously better to use artillery.

The problem is that the devils are generally responsible for the flanking mobile units, and it is unlikely that they will carry the artillery. Even if the No. 92 infantry artillery is light, it is still more than 200 kilograms, more than 400 kilograms.

Therefore, the devil's assault troops generally carry another magical fire suppression weapon - grenade!

The grenade has a short range, and it is definitely not an opponent of serious artillery. However, when the two armies are at war, the artillery positions are generally aimed at the frontal enemy, and no one is stupid enough to idle the artillery to guard against the enemy that may appear on the side.

Therefore, in the general battle of the army, there are very few artillery pieces on the side, and at most machine gun positions and machine gun bunkers are purchased. As for the grenade, it can't face bombardment, but it is very good at pulling out machine gun positions. If it is a dark fort, you can only ask the ninety-two infantry artillery to shoot directly.

However, there are few dark fortresses in the field. Generally, only fortresses will be built. After all, the construction of a dark fort is not a matter of a day or two. In a hurry, the built machine gun positions are often piled up with a little sandbags, or dig a trench and pile up some soil to build a machine gun position.

If guns are used against each other, how can the attacking troops easily beat the machine gun positions covered by sandbags and trenches? But the grenade can! The range of the grenade is unwilling, generally only two or three hundred meters. However, it is curved!

It means that he can launch the cantaloupe buds into the opposite trench or sandbag fortifications, and directly blow up the gunners...

Without the suppression of machine gun fire, the devil's commando could easily break in. Then, with crooked machine guns, they raged on the flanks of the Guo Army. Guojun's Hanyang made, where is the opponent of the crooked handle machine gun? Therefore, it is easy to be defeated by the devils on the side. Valley

However, this set of devils is not very easy to use in the US military and the Soviet army. why? Because the US military and the Soviet army in the later period of World War II equipped both the Bobosa submachine gun and the Thomson submachine gun to the squad, that is, basically every squad has equipment.

Each team of your devils does have two crooked machine guns with ferocious firepower. However, if you break into the flank of the enemy's position, it is equivalent to "hand-to-hand combat" with people. At this distance, the kills of submachine guns and machine guns are about the same.

If the army lacks submachine guns (mainly because bullets can't afford it), the US and Soviet troops have many submachine guns. Therefore, if Guizi's flank commandos break into the enemy's flank, it would be better if they face the Guo army that lacks submachine guns, taking the advantage and defeating the opponent. Facing the American and Soviet troops with submachine guns in every squad, there is no advantage, or even a disadvantage. After all, submachine guns are lighter than machine guns in close combat.

In addition, by the way, the submachine gun equipment rate in the Devil's Army is very low. why? Like Guojun, bullets can't hit...

That's right, Guizi's domestic mineral resources are poor, and the metal production capacity is very limited. Manufacturing bullets requires a lot of metal. Therefore, the submachine gun, a weapon that wastes bullets, is not without technology, but the bullets cannot be consumed.

However, if the tactics of the devils and the grenade launchers, which are very effective against trenches, are taken to the First World War, they can definitely kill the Quartet. Because, submachine guns just appeared during World War I, and there was no large-scale installation. The firepower of this grenade with a crooked handle machine gun is absolutely invincible.

Coincidentally, the equipment level of the Guo Army is almost the level of World War I. In the face of the general firepower and tactics of generational difference, it is natural to lose. It's not that the devils are ferocious, but their tactics and firepower just suppress the Guo army. Only the Rabbit Army, the Discord Devils just faced each other, suffered less losses. But in the process of counter-sweeping, if you face it head-on, you won't be able to please.

…

That is to say, the improved version of Marin "invented", "Swarm", replaced the role of the machine gun. However, if the opponent erects a large shield, they will need a fierce fire weapon like a "grenade" to open up the situation.

However, for now, Marin has no such technical ability. The devil's small cantaloupe hand bud specially used for the grenade can't be made at all. The main problem is the fuze. Marin, who has no modern chemical capabilities, not only lacks a powerful charge, but also does not have a fuze that does not require an open flame.

Now the so-called hand-held ammunition in Beihai Kingdom is basically a soil-pressed bullet with a slender fuse. If this thing is thrown out, if it happens to be thrown into a pond, the fuse will be directly extinguished by the water. Throwing it into the sand pile is also easy to cover the fire with the sand, resulting in extinguishment... all kinds of defects...

…

Marin thought about it, and felt that it was unrealistic to engage in grenade launchers. However, hand buds can be developed.

Although the strike distance of the hand buds is only 30 to 50 meters, it is far less than the 200 to 300 meters of the grenade. But, it depends on the age!

In this era, military weapons are still dominated by cold weapons. Although the Moscow army also has muskets and artillery, they must all be placed on the front. On the side, it would be nice to have a crossbow.

So, as long as you have the right hand buds, you can get close to a distance of 30 to 50 meters, and then throw the hand buds to attack...

Even if there is a large shield on the opposite flank, the shield is powerless against the hand buds. Even if the Beihai Kingdom used a very low charge such as black powder, it would not kill a few people. However, there is no problem with incapacitating enemy forces within a few steps. UU Reading

When the sword and shield soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, other arms lose their protection. Then, ignite the "swarm" and strike with the firepower density of the machine gun, which will definitely work...

Then, the question comes - how to make hand buds?

Marin directly thought of making the border area...

The hand-held bullets (river crabs) made in the border area back then were hard to describe. However, it is scary enough, and it can also destroy the enemy's combat effectiveness...

And the technology of making hand buds in the border area, just like Marin's era, was made by blacksmiths, and the technical content is very low. That iron shell can be made by ordinary blacksmiths.

However, compared with the border area, Beihai Kingdom has an advantage. Mainly, Beihai Kingdom has high-quality steel! There is no iron and steel factory in the border area, and almost all of them are low-quality pig iron smelted with earthen furnaces, and the quality is very poor. If you want to make weapons, you have to dismantle the rails. Otherwise, the steel quality is not up to standard.

The Beihaiguo Iron and Steel Factory even produced alloy steel, although like the Border District Armory, it lacked modern machinery. However, in terms of steel quality, Beihai Kingdom wins.

Therefore, also copying the M24 hand-held ammunition, Beihai's arsenal still has an advantage. Moreover, the Germans imitated the Germans' M24 hand-held bullets, no problem...

However, because of the lack of chemical technology, Marin could not come up with a device to pull the ignition. Therefore, he can only choose to fuse the ignition.

Specifically, the slender fuse is hidden in a hollow wooden handle. In order to prevent moisture, the bottom end of the wooden handle is covered with oiled paper. When in use, puncture the oil paper and put the match string in to light the fuze. Then, throw it out...

Strictly speaking, this kind of hand retention is comparable to that of the border area. The quality of the steel in the border area is poor, and the Beihai country keeps the bullets, but the ignition method is extremely backward, and even the border area can make a hair pulling device...
