One Hundred and Twelve Exercises

"If I were on that hill, I would have hung the white flag now." Putting down his telescope, Vagron said to General Mordelair beside him. There was a muffled sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking from a distant place, and it was a cannonball hitting the ground.

The 155mm caliber howitzer is really different from the 75mm caliber field gun originally equipped by the army. Even just in terms of sound, there are essential differences between the two.

A full artillery regiment suppresses frontal firepower, and the destructive power can be truly felt even if it is separated by a long distance. This high-intensity shelling can really destroy the mentality of any defender, as long as the shells are plentiful.

Artillery, known as the god of war, has dominated the battlefield since the day it was born, and in the foreseeable future, artillery is still one of the indispensable weapons in human warfare.

A cannon is a man's romance, and a caliber is a man's romance. The 155mm caliber cannon made the army officers participating in this exercise once again feel the shock of modern industrial weapons.

For a time, the unpleasantness of the 100 knowledge magic balls being occupied by the navy also disappeared with the overwhelming explosion in front of him. As long as they can take to the battlefield with these powerful weapons, there is nothing to worry about.

"I heard that the Holy Demon Empire took 100 130mm cannons...it's not much less powerful than this." Mordelair came back from the front line to participate in this new weapon test exercise and saw the new 155mm gun The caliber howitzer was equally astounding. But what he was more worried about was the new artillery that was taken away by the Holy Demon Empire.

When Vagron heard Mordelair say this, he comforted the other party and said, "Actually, the power is much worse, but it is still stronger than the 105mm caliber howitzers that we have started to equip in large numbers."

Modler was still worried about his troops. If they attacked the enemy who was also supported by artillery units, the situation might be tragic. "If we encounter such an enemy in the future, our troops may not be too comfortable."

Now, they not only have to face enemies with swords, bows and crossbows, but also enemies with artillery and rifles, which makes people very uneasy. In the best case scenario, the number of casualties in a war will also increase exponentially, which is definitely not good news.

"Don't worry, as long as we have larger-caliber artillery, more shells, and those small cannons of the Holy Demon Empire, we are not our opponents!" Vagron didn't care, or he believed in his own side more. Firepower advantage.

He does have the proud capital. The number of 105mm caliber howitzers has surged, and 155mm caliber howitzers have also begun to be equipped with troops. He has no reason to fear those 130mm caliber howitzers exported to the Holy Devil Empire.

"I hope so! I heard that the Air Force is producing brand-new weapons and equipment that can attack the ground." As a lieutenant general, Modler is responsible for defense in one direction, and naturally knows a lot.

Recently, due to secrecy, an Air Force wing was deployed to his jurisdiction. Looking at the planes that were training every day and circling overhead, Modler even felt that he could go south to attack Arrant.

Originally, he was an offensive general who paid attention to attacking speed, but because Chris attached great importance to Wallavor, he arranged the most famous Mordelair in this direction.

In fact, he was very eager to get rid of all troubles and conduct a southward attack at a high speed. He wants to prove himself that he can play the fastest and most efficient offensive game in the world.

"I heard it too. It seems that His Majesty thinks that launching an attack from the sky can sometimes save a lot of trouble." Vagron nodded when he heard this. As the army commander, he naturally heard about this kind of Brand new tactics.

The Air Force is equipped with a special ground attack force. I heard that it is equipped with an attack aircraft called Il-2.

The ground attack efficiency is very high. The new aircraft can carry a number of artillery-like weapons, which can be thrown over the heads of enemies.

Vagron had yet to see this new tactic, because training on the Air Force's side was highly classified—it would take days for the unit to be trained for possible combat.

Mordler continued on from what Vagron said, "It is true, I heard that an air route has been opened between the vast sea and the ferry, and it can fly directly over the mountains. It only takes less than a morning to deliver the goods. "

He looked at the battlefield in the distance with his binoculars. The troops representing the attacking side had jumped out of the trenches. They were obviously ready to attack. The charge horn had sounded, and the soldiers had inserted their bayonets.

While looking at the Blue Army troops attacking from a distance, he said, "Mortals can fly in the sky now. I really can't think of anything else to be afraid of."

Vagron laughed twice, and took Mordelair's words with incomparable determination. "We have nothing to fear, as long as... we can fight for His Majesty."

"General! The 2nd Battalion of the Blue Army has begun to move to the flank of the highlands, and the 1st Battalion of the Red Army, which is in charge of defense, has given up its first line of defense." An officer came over, stood at attention and saluted behind the two, reporting the exercise progress.

"Ha, that kid Walter seems to be teaching Lester a lesson. The people who came out of the 1st regiment were all brought out by His Majesty himself. It seems that there is still a set." After hearing this report, Vagron was very impressed. He smiled with interest and gave his own evaluation.

The red defense troops have been very calm since just now. The opponent seems to have given up their first-line positions, and they have no intention of wasting time in the competition for surface positions.

Walter seems to have studied the theory of large-scale defense in depth, and now he has come up with a multi-layered line of defense arrangement, so that the attackers are caught in the hard battle of positional warfare, and the attackers must pay a very heavy price.

"Yeah, by following His Majesty's side, you can always get some benefits. Lester is not wronged to lose this game." Giving up is inevitable, if it were me, I would also give up."

When facing 155mm howitzers, those positions are naturally like chicken ribs. It is not impossible to insist on defense, but the price to pay is too much. Instead, it is better to put the opponent in and fight, at least the disadvantage of the Red Army's lack of large-caliber artillery has been evened out a lot.

"The artillery on the defending side hasn't moved yet, so it has overwhelmed his 2nd battalion. Lester's tactics are somewhat reckless." Vagron shook his head, feeling that the two corps-level commanders were both A little young and more or less has some little problems of its own.

Mordelair also agreed with this view, nodded and said, "Don't say it, now both of them are commanders of the army level, and then go back to calculate the offensive and defensive battle at the regiment level, it's a little bit more or less. Not suitable."

However, the topic of the two people quickly changed from commenting on their colleagues to lamenting about new weapons. Due to the progress of the industry in Ailan Hill, weapons and equipment also began to increase explosively.

The troops were equipped with many new weapons, including defensive mines, large-caliber mortars at the battalion level, and new general-purpose machine guns.

When it comes to the machine gun, Mordelair likes it very much. "The new machine gun is really good. I heard that it is called g-42. His Majesty often uses such a strange name, which is really incomprehensible."

Vagron also likes this weapon that can be used as a heavy machine gun and can also accompany soldiers to attack. "The name is not very good, but the new machine gun is very light and suitable for advancing with the troops, which is much more suitable than the Maxim heavy machine gun."

As soon as this machine gun appeared, it immediately became a favorite of the Irish Hill Army. The huge demand has made this weapon continue to increase production, and now it has almost completely replaced the Maxim heavy machine gun and has become the backbone of infantry firepower.

"Mak Qin heavy machine guns have now begun to be eliminated in the second line. After all, there are g-42 machine guns, and the troops are not willing to use such heavy heavy machine guns." Some weapons began to be welcomed by the troops, and some weapons were naturally received. The neglect of the troops, the original all-powerful Mark Qin heavy machine gun has now become the standard configuration of the second-line troops.

In order to prevent the dragon from harassing the hinterland villages, many densely populated towns of Chris have arranged garrison troops and equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and other weapons and equipment, the purpose is to annihilate the opposing dragon knight troops that have penetrated into the hinterland as much as possible.

Wagron felt that this improvement was good for the army, and comforted him, "The earlier Marks were not wasted, most of them were used for homeland air defense, and now the garrison in some towns can also get some anti-aircraft machine guns. Come for air defense."

Compared with the time when the garrison was helpless in the face of the Dragon Knights when they went south to attack the Arlant Empire, the garrison now has very powerful air defense weapons, at least equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, which can temporarily defend against air. .

Most of the current 30mm caliber anti-aircraft guns are installed in fixed urban air defense positions, and there is really not much left for ground troops. After all, now that the Air Force is growing, the air defense mission of the ground forces is not as urgent as before.

"Ha, isn't the air defense all handed over to the Air Force? Why do you still keep so many anti-aircraft machine guns?" Modlar looked at his boss with a smile.

"It's not always reliable to rely on others. It's more convenient to rely on us. If their new toys don't work, we'll have to rely on our anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons to find their way back." Vagron laughed. Once, decide to rely on yourself instead of relying on others.
