In fact, the firing time of the two guns is not long, only 1 minute, and the shells fired are 31 and 33 rounds respectively, of course, this is a practice shooting, and it will definitely be discounted in the official war, it is estimated that it will be about 20 rounds / minute, but such a rate of fire is already considerable. Moreover www.biquge.info and the artillery of the overseas Chinese who now use these two guns are obviously not as familiar with the operation of the French Type 1897 75-mm rapid-fire field gun as the French artillery, so if it is replaced by a French soldier, the rate of fire will definitely increase.

Valdesy estimated that if it were replaced by French artillery, it should be able to reach 35-40 rounds per minute in peacetime practice, and on the battlefield, it is not impossible to fire 25-30 rounds per minute. So Wadsey immediately leaned into Heinrich's ear and whispered a little.

After listening to Wadsey's words, Heinrich turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Political Commissar Qin, we in Germany hope to be able to buy these two guns, I don't know if you are willing to sell them, and what conditions do you need?"

Although Heinrich was not an army and did not know the importance of these two guns to the German Army, he still trusted Wadsey's qualifications and vision, after all, Wadsey was the successor of Moltke Sr. and had served as the German Chief of Staff. Therefore, he simply proposed it to Qin Zheng directly, that is, you should make a price, we Germany want these two guns.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Your Excellency, we can negotiate, as long as we reach an agreement on comprehensive cooperation, then everything is easy to discuss." And I advise you not to rush, there may be something that interests you next. ”

Heinrich listened, it seems that the overseas Chinese still want to show themselves their army weapons, and since they took out the French 1897 75mm rapid-fire field gun as soon as they shot, then the display will definitely not be bad, so Heinrich is also quite curious in his heart, I don't know what kind of weapons the overseas Chinese will show him. Heinrich nodded and said, "Okay, we hope you can surprise us again." ”

As the signal flag on the training ground waved, the soldiers operating the two guns immediately stood behind the guns, only to see three groups of soldiers running out of the room below the viewing platform, three people in each group, the Germans could see clearly, and in each group there was a soldier carrying a barrel-like thing, one thick and two thin, and the length was about one meter to one meter five.

The soldiers of the three groups ran to the front of the artillery, stood at a distance of about twenty-five meters, and first saluted the viewing platform, and Qin Zheng also stood up and returned the salute. The soldiers then turned around, first of all, a soldier in each group took off a triangular bracket from his back and set it up on the ground, and the soldier who carried the barrel on his back took off the barrel he was carrying and put it on the tripod, and a soldier also took some accessories from himself, some on the barrel, some on the bracket, and some on the ground.

It didn't take long, about a minute, to assemble three improvised guns with an angle of about 45 degrees, and at this time six more soldiers, in groups of two, carried a box up and placed it behind the three guns, and when they were opened, they were filled with shells.

The Germans on the spectator stage understood what was going on, and they all talked about it, while Wadsey and Falkenheis exchanged glances before turning their gaze to the training ground.

At this time, as the signal flag shook again, I saw a soldier take out a shell from the box and stuff it into the barrel from the muzzle, and another soldier squatting on the left side of the gun fired the bottom fire, only to hear the three sounds of "boom boom" three sounds, smoke came out of the muzzles of the three guns, and three puffs of smoke immediately rose in the target area in the distance, but it was obviously two close and one far, the bombardment distance of the two thinner guns was about 3-4 kilometers, and the thick one was about 5-6 kilometers.

And the soldiers who operated the three guns did not stop, continued to fill the shells from the muzzles, and then fired, and the three guns all fired ten shells in one go, although Vardsy did not pinch the watch this time, but by feeling it should be less than a minute.

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "This is called a mortar, the caliber ranges from 60 mm caliber to 120 mm caliber, and the firing range ranges from 1000 meters to 7000 meters, generally speaking, 60-80 mm caliber is platoon and company level support firepower, and 100-120 mm caliber is battalion level support firepower, according to our establishment, a mortar squad has eight soldiers, but generally speaking, because this kind of artillery can be disassembled and assembled, so 3-5 soldiers can carry a mortar to follow the army for mobile operations." Although it lacks power, it is lightweight, flexible, easy to carry, and the trajectory is curved, as long as it is not a fortification such as a fortress, like ordinary trenches and bunkers can be jumped directly. ”

Wadsey nodded, of course he understood what Qin Zheng meant, this mortar is simply a weapon tailored for "advocating the principle of attack", because the mobility of this mortar is much stronger than the French 1897 75mm rapid-fire field gun, and even each army squad can be equipped with a mortar like this, which will greatly strengthen the firepower of the German army without affecting the army's mobility ability.

By this time, the soldiers using the mortars had retreated to the back of the mortars and stood up, and three groups of soldiers came up, this time with three people in each group, one carrying a gun that was significantly larger than a normal rifle, one carrying a suitcase, and one soldier holding something because it was too far to see clearly.

The three groups of soldiers came to the mortar, the soldiers carrying the guns and boxes were divided on the left and right, and the other soldier propped up the things in his hands on the ground, and everyone saw clearly that this was also a tripod, and then put the gun on the tripod, while the other soldier pulled out the bullet chain from the box and loaded it on the gun, and then everyone also understood that it turned out to be three machine guns.

Wadsey looked left and right, and the other Germans showed puzzled expressions on their faces, so the machine gun was not a new weapon in this era, the German army was equipped with a large number of Maxim machine guns, while the French were equipped with the Hagg Kais machine gun, which was also the most famous machine gun of the two types of this era. However, the first two weapons displayed by overseas Chinese, since they were mortars, brought a lot of surprises to Waldsee, so the third weapon displayed by overseas Chinese could not be an ordinary thing, so Wadsey was still patient to see what was new about the third weapon of overseas Chinese.

At the training ground, after the soldiers set up their machine guns, they immediately opened fire together, spewing out three tongues of fire, but in the eyes of the Germans, this was not surprising, because they were used to seeing a rain of bullets from machine guns.

But after firing the three machine guns for about 30 seconds, they all waited, and saw the soldier operating the machine gun to shoot get up from the machine gun chair and lift the machine gun from the tripod, and the soldier with the ammunition box also stood up, carrying the ammunition box, and the two soldiers advanced side by side, continuing to fire as they walked, until they walked forward for a distance of 5 or 60 meters.

And on the viewing platform, the army generals such as Waldsi, Falkenheith, Gehr, and Schwarzhoff all stared wide-eyed, staring at the soldiers on the training ground who were shooting while advancing, and they also understood what Qin Zheng was going to show?

The Maxim machine gun weighs 27.2 kg and weighs 62 kg including the gun mount, while the Hagg Kes machine gun is slightly lighter at 24.4 kg and weighs 46.8 kg including the gun mount. Generally speaking, the Maxim machine gun will be mounted on a special machine gun truck for use, and when using the gun mount mode, four soldiers need to be lifted together in order to follow the army to maneuver together.

The machine gun shown to Germany by the traverser is actually the Type 86 coaxial machine gun mounted on the Type 05 two-shelf tank, and the Warrior Vehicle is also equipped with this type of machine gun, but sometimes in order to strengthen fire suppression, it will also be changed to a Type 89 heavy machine gun. The Type 86 coaxial machine gun is a 7.62 mm PKM general-purpose machine gun designed by the former Soviet gunsmith Kashnikov in the old time and space, and the weight of the gun is only 8.9 kg, so it can be fired from a single end. However, the Type 86 coaxial machine gun does not have a tripod, so the tripod used here is the tripod used for the Type 89 heavy machine gun.

The Germans, of course, understood that the overseas Chinese were still showing themselves the advantages of combining firepower and mobility. In fact, all European countries are now developing light machine guns, which are not only to strengthen the firepower of the army, but also to strengthen the mobility of the army.

Although the army weapons displayed by overseas Chinese to Germany do not have the same strategic value as the three types of British warships, which can make the German navy make a qualitative leap, because these three weapons alone are not enough for the German army to achieve an overwhelming advantage in Europe, if the German country obtains the technology of these three weapons and assembles troops on a large scale, it can still greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the German army, so that the German army can expand and cooperate with France. The gap between Russia and Russia would still be of great value to Germany, and if German hostile forces, such as France, were allowed to acquire the technology for the latter two weapons, it would pose a huge threat to Germany.

However, since the overseas Chinese displayed these weapons, they undoubtedly indicated that they could transfer them to Germany, but it was only to see that Germany could not afford to pay for them.

And Wadsey immediately calculated quickly in his heart, according to the current German establishment, a squad of soldiers is 12-14 people, which can be equipped with a 60/80 mm caliber mortar, and a light machine gun, such a squad of firepower to fight against a platoon of the French and Russian troops, if each company is equipped with a mortar platoon, all with 100/ Mortars of 120 mm caliber, or a machine gun company for each battalion, equipped with Maxim machine guns, and two rapid-fire gun batteries for each regiment, such firepower is enough to sweep across the entire European continent.
