Chapter 839: 839: Perino M1451 Heavy Machine Gun

The heavy machine gun from more than 150 years ago was used to fool the people of the Maxim Empire, which made Berks heart beat. After seeing the existing firearms of the Maxim Empire, it is probably equivalent to the technology of more than a hundred years ago. level, but I always have ghosts in my heart, and I dare not drive too hard on the price.

However, after seeing Horns delightedly praising the Perino M1451 heavy machine gun, Burks also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Perino M1451 machine gun is a typical first-generation heavy machine gun. It has iconic accessories such as a water-cooled sleeve and a heavy-duty rigid tripod. The size and weight of the gun are not light, and a team of 6 people is required to serve it. One person carries the gun body, one person carries the water tank, and the other three carry ammunition.

The total assembly of Lingling is nearly 30 kilograms. Such a weight is quite difficult for ordinary people in Blue Star, but for professional soldiers of the Maxim Empire, two people are enough to handle it.

So Horns didn't pay much attention to the weight requirement.

Burks also intended to recommend several 'old-fashioned' weapons, but Horns refused.

The real reason why he bought a heavy machine gun was that the empire's light weapons were insufficient in firepower, and the Merlot 11 light machine gun he had just developed was not bad.

To be precise, they have never seen a light machine gun with better performance, so they think it is good.

Burks sighed with some regret.

The reason why they sell the old antiques is similar to Aslan's purpose, which is to mislead the research and development of the Maxim Empire heavy machine gun.

They also prepared several light machine guns and rifles with huge defects, but none of them could be used on the field.

Of the 2,000 Perino M1451 heavy machine guns, 10 were retained by the Maxim Empire Firearms Research Institute, 1,500 were transferred to the Central Plains, and the remaining 490 were all transferred to the East Asian subcontinent.

Among them, the three districts that Remington belonged to were assigned to ninety, which made Remington so angry that he almost scolded his mother.

"Our third district is a stepmother who can't raise it well."

After scolding the headquarters, Remington only needs to knock out his teeth and swallow it. If he reports the news of the war with the Principality of Prince, it is estimated that hundreds more will be allocated.

It's a pity he didn't dare.

Ninety Perino M1451 heavy machine guns were quickly equipped to the caravan escorts. Together with the Mark 11 light machine guns that had been transferred some time ago, there were more than 300 light and heavy machine guns, which greatly boosted Remington's confidence. Night attack on the position of the security forces of Dongyapu Company.

After fighting for so long between the security forces of Dongyapu Company and Maxim's guards, the two sides were at a stalemate, and the fighting gradually calmed down. However, night raids became the most common thing both sides did.

In the middle of the night, Maxim's guard formed a death squad of thousands, most of them were professionals. With the assistance of magicians, they completed the primary invisibility, and crawled forward under the cover of night until they were 100 meters away from the trenches. Not found.

An infantry squad armed with a Mark XI light machine gun quickly entered the combat position. They set up the machine guns and were ready to cover the assault comrades at any time.

The garrison in the first trench is a mix of security forces and volunteers. The sentry in charge of the guard was touched by someone on the neck, and the commando of the escort team threw all the grenades on their bodies into the trench in one breath, and the sound of explosions kept ringing. After hearing the explosion, those security forces who had just completed their recruit training panicked and wanted to run to the second line of defense, but they ran into a wall head-on.

During the daytime, Maxim's escort sent out aviation magicians to find out several passages from the trench to the second line of defense, and asked the earth magicians to use the earth wall technique to block them.

The deserters were blocked by the earthen wall, and just as they climbed out of the trench, they met the machine gunners who were still waiting outside the trench and opened fire. For a while, the soldiers of the East Yap Company's security forces fell like wheat.

The soldiers of the Volunteer Army disdained to look at these Security Army soldiers. They hid quietly in the small holes dug in the trenches in advance. Except for a few guys who happened to be in the position of the grenade and were killed, most of them did not suffer much damage.

Immediately, the sound of shouting and killing sounded, and a large number of Maxim's guards charged and jumped into the trenches, and began to massacre the East Yapu security forces.

"These recruits are rookies." A veteran of the Volunteer Army scolded disdainfully.

The rifle in his hand was raised, and the bayonet was loaded.

"Give me a hard hit."

A voice sounded in the night, and the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle began to ring.

A large number of soldiers from the Death Squad of the Maxim Guard fell to the ground, and some professionals noticed these small holes in the trenches, and they were overturned by a bayonet as soon as they entered.

The Volunteer Army can be composed of elite troops, who are not only experienced in battles, but also composed of professionals.

The fight did not last long. With the sound of the 75mm M1S howitzer, the charging Maxim guard had to slow down.

The artillery commander of Maxim's escort shouted: "Look for the position of the enemy's artillery positions."

Soon a soldier reported, but the artillery commander shook his head helplessly after getting the position of the enemy's artillery, and gave up his plan to counterattack with artillery fire.

The enemy's artillery is placed at the extreme position of the trench. If the artillery of Maxim's escort wants to hit the enemy's artillery, they must arrange the artillery position on the trench, which will make it easier to be counterattacked by the artillery of the East Yap Security Army.

They are mainly equipped with the Fall 75mm field gun, which has a range comparable to that of the 75mm M1S howitzer.

The main reason is that both sides are second-line troops. Although they are elite, the weapons and equipment cannot be the main equipment of both sides. It is a war between two countries.

Aslan will not break out of war with the Maxim Empire before recovering the Ottoman Kingdom. Remington's thinking is simpler. In order to continue to hold the position of the chief of the three districts of the East Asian subcontinent, he will not easily report the incident. , will only say that a small-scale war conflict broke out between the two sides.

The late-night fighting in the trenches did not stop until early in the morning, and finally ended in the failure of the Maxim Guards. They did successfully complete the night attack mission, but they never expected that the trenches of Dongyapu Company were so complicated. In the normal passage, there are still many Small underground passages and foxholes. After the battle started, the Volunteers came out of the tunnels, divided Maxim's escort into small units, and finally surrounded and killed them slowly.

After Remington received the news of the defeat in the battle, he was not annoyed. Everything was as he expected. If the war could decide the outcome so quickly, the Central Plains War would not have lasted until now.

"Organize engineering teams, dig into the enemy's trenches, and eat away at the enemy's trenches bit by bit." In the end, Remington could only come up with the most time-consuming and labor-intensive method. This was also the longest tactic used by both sides after the war broke out in the Central Plains. .
