The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 5: Defence beyond the times

  What are the favorite things that traversers do? Make money, pretend to be B, open a harem, bully others? Maybe they are all right, but for our protagonist, the most favorite is IQ and technology crushing! How can the extra hundreds of years of insight be wasted? Although at the beginning of the conversation with the representative of the uncle, it was said that a friendly match would be used to verify the power of the new weapon, but consciously or unconsciously, our prince made some trips! For example, polyline trenches, barbed wire fences, gun nests, machine gun nests, and the side strike and down strike positions of Zhaomaohuahuong... If it wasn't for the terrain, he would make a backslope position.

  According to the prince's idea, the best situation is that his uncle rushed over with the cavalry, and then smashed the army in front of 4 rapid-fire guns and 6 machine guns! Then I will introduce the new toys I just made. My own things have been promoted, and my uncle has also been educated and learned a new fighting posture! What a joy this is! (It seems that the word is used in this kind of chada? Leave him alone!)

   What is unexpected is that my uncle is really moving, and these things are finally used! However, His Royal Highness still left a bit of affection, at least after the signal flag on the mountain conveyed the message of waiting a while, the prince let the troops rest in place. In his opinion, it was originally a 20-year-old kid who had nothing to play with? What new weapon? I just need to play with him when I am in a good mood. Besides, use superior force to kill a younger generation, and it’s not that he is the shame to pass it out. Own! After the prince’s cranky thoughts, he suddenly realized that no matter what the outcome of the exercise was, he seemed to lose.

   "I regret it a little bit now." The prince after the recollection looked at the Earl Schelling next to him with a little dissatisfaction. Faced with the pressure of the prince, the Lord decisively became an ostrich...

  Although Prince Ruprecht found an open area as a battlefield in order to give full play to the power of his weapons, but this is a royal hunting ground, how can there be so many flat grounds! Even if he walked all over the hunting grounds, the battlefields found were still imperfect, such as the woods next to the battlefield. These woods provided cover for the cavalry. If the opponent also brought artillery, then it is obviously himself who suffers! What do you call it? Picking up a rock and hitting yourself in the foot! Thinking of this, His Royal Highness depressedly picked up the telescope and looked at the woods in the distance.

   "Huh?!" What the prince didn't expect was that at the same moment, his uncle was doing the same thing. When he saw through the binoculars the officers and soldiers who were digging in the distance and the moving gun positions, His Royal Highness was instantly calm. This is against common sense! This fighting posture is different from what he has seen before! This is not scientific!

   "Viscount Schmidt seems to have participated in the Franco-Prussian War, right?" The prince said blankly.

   "That's it, he was the infantry battalion commander at the time. Because of his outstanding performance, he was selected to enter the guards." Lord Earl responded with sincerity and fear immediately.

   "That means he is not a rookie." The prince put down the telescope with a gloomy expression. Demon! The situation in front of him immediately made the prince serious. If it were not for special reasons, wouldn't a battalion commander who had participated in the Franco-Prussian War set up a position like this? The few artillery pieces were scattered. This first violated the principle of centralized use of artillery.

  Secondly, there seems to be a problem with the firing angle of the artillery, and there is a huge firepower gap between each cannon nest. Third, the infantry is too loose, and the firepower of the rifle cannot be guaranteed at such a force density! It seems to have built a circle of fortifications, but there are problems everywhere! A person who just graduated from a military academy would never make such a bad arrangement! The only thing that can bring some influence is the barbed wire, but if it is a real war, these things will be easily destroyed by artillery!

   "It seems that the little guy's men are currently engaged in some fast-fire weapons? For example, machine guns?" The prince said casually. now it's right! He had the same idea as the French, hoping to block the advancement of infantry with dense bullets! The prince remembered something that happened in the battle of Sedan. The French used a platoon gun that could shoot 25 bullets in a few seconds. This weapon caused some trouble for the German infantry, but the overall situation was not egg-rich. Use, because they were quickly killed by Krupp’s artillery from a distance!

   After the war, he began to pay attention to various rapid-fire guns, such as the Gatling hand-operated machine gun at the beginning, and the Maxine machine gun that was recently displayed in various European countries. The latter is simply a perfect infantry weapon. A machine gun can withstand the firepower of a company, but it still has the problem of being too large. If this kid arranges this thing in the line of defense, such an arrangement will be the past!

   "Cunning little guy!" The prince who guessed half of it said dissatisfiedly. No wonder I was asked to use a cavalry to participate in the exercise, so I thought so! "At least he is smarter than the French. He knows to use a bunker to cover his machine gun position!" At this time, the prince had put away his thoughts on playing, and began to seriously consider how to break through his nephew's defense. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, the more carefully studied, the prince found that this crab array is really powerful!

"Machine guns should be deployed at these points! They can easily lock all our assault roads. Secondly, their artillery is arranged separately. I don't understand the reason for this arrangement. It may be because they could not dig enough in a hurry. Big bunker. Lieutenant, do you have a way to destroy these artillery?" He asked the artillery company commander next to him.

   "It's difficult. The opponent's position is a bit tricky, and the ballistic of our artillery is a bit straight, unable to directly cross the obstacle and hit the target behind! But if we make some changes, there is no problem!" The artillery ensign replied.

   The prince still underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, especially those who can make a name for themselves in history! Is it true that Prince Leopold could not think of these new weapons? Even the half-handed military strategist William II can discover the role of machine guns. Will the later generations of the Eastern Front Commander think of it? Although everyone liked the dense formation at the time, the artillery trajectory was relatively straight, and indirect shooting was not popularized, but there were always situations that required indirect shooting on the battlefield, and the powerful German artillery would naturally deal with these problems.

Prince   's men began to deploy their artillery. First they dug a hole in the ground and piled up a **** with dirt behind. Other artillery is fixed on a special rack to increase the elevation angle. After some planning, the prince thought it was an exhaustive plan. The front half of the company’s artillery should be able to suppress the opponent’s front artillery. Then, the other half of the company’s artillery was used to suppress the flanking machine gun and another artillery. . The remaining artillery will destroy the other two artillery, and cover the cavalry to charge from the flanks.
