"If I were on that hill, I would have hoisted a white flag now." Putting down the binoculars, Vaglon said to General Modelaire beside him. In the distance, there was the muffled sound of the earth shaking, and it was the cannonballs that struck the earth.

Compared with the 75mm caliber field guns originally equipped by the army, the power of the 155 mm howitzer is really very different. Even in terms of sound, there is an essential difference between the two.

A fully staffed artillery regiment is carrying out frontal fire suppression, and the destructive power can be truly felt even if it is far away. As long as there are enough shells, this high-intensity shelling can really destroy the mentality of any defender.

Artillery, known as the god of war, has dominated the battlefield since its inception, and will remain one of the indispensable weapons of human warfare for the foreseeable future.

The cannon is the romance of men, and the caliber is the climax of men's romance. The 155-millimeter caliber cannon once again made the army officers participating in this exercise feel the shock of modern industrial weapons.

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

"I heard that the Holy Demon Empire took 100 130 mm cannons...... It's not much less powerful than that. "When Modryel returned from the front line to participate in this test exercise about the new weapon, he was equally shocked to see the new 155mm howitzer. However, what he was more worried about was the new artillery that had been taken away by the Holy Demon Empire.

When Vaglon heard Mordryel say this, he comforted the other party and said: "Actually, the power is much worse, but it is still stronger than the 105 mm caliber howitzers that we have begun to equip in large quantities." ”

Modryel was still worried about his troops, and if they attacked the enemy, who was also supported by artillery, the battle might become fierce: "If we encounter such an enemy in the future, our troops may not be too comfortable." ”

Now, they have to face not only enemies with swords and crossbows, but also enemies with artillery and rifles, which is very unsettling. At best, the number of casualties in a war would 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 from the Holy Demon Empire, we are not our opponents!" Vagron didn't care, or he believed more in the firepower superiority of his side.

He also does have a capital to be proud of, the number of 105 mm caliber howitzers has surged, and 155 mm caliber howitzers have also begun to equip the troops, and he has no reason to be afraid of those 130 mm caliber howitzers exported to the Holy Demon 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, Modryel is responsible for defense in one direction, so he naturally knows a lot of things.

Recently, because of secrecy, an air wing was deployed to his precinct, and looking at the planes that trained every day and circled overhead, Modryel even felt that he could go south to attack the Arante.

Originally, he was an offensive general who focused on attack speed, but because Chris attached great importance to Volavo, he arranged the most famous Modryel in this direction.

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

"I've heard about it too, and it seems that His Majesty thinks that an attack from the sky can sometimes save a lot of trouble." Vargron nodded when he heard this, and as the commander-in-chief of the army, he naturally heard about this new method of warfare.

The Air Force is equipped with a unit dedicated to ground attack, and I heard that it is equipped with an attack aircraft called Il-2, which is very efficient in ground attack. The new aircraft could carry a number of shell-like weapons and drop them on the enemy's head.

Wagron has yet to see this new tactic, because the training on the Air Force side is highly secret, and it takes a few days before the unit can be trained to participate in possible battles.

"Indeed, I heard that there is an air route between Hanhai and the ferry, which can fly directly over the mountains, and it will take less than a morning to transport the goods. ”

He looked at the battlefield in the distance with his binoculars, where the troops representing the attacking side had jumped out of their trenches, they were clearly ready to attack, the bugles had sounded, and the soldiers had already planted their bayonets.

As he looked at the attacking Blues troops in the distance, he said, "Mortals can now fly in the sky, and I really can't think of anything else to be afraid of. ”

Vaglon laughed twice, and with great determination took Modlaire's words: "We have nothing to fear, as long as ...... It's enough to be able to fight for Your Majesty. ”

"General! The 2nd Battalion of the Blues had already begun to flank the heights, and the 1st Battalion of the Red Army, which was in charge of the defense, gave up its first line of defense. An officer walked over, stood behind the two men and saluted, reporting on the progress of the exercise.

"Ha, it seems that Walter's kid is going to teach Lester a lesson, the people who came out of the 1st regiment were all brought out by His Majesty personally, and it seems that there is still a set." When Wagron heard the report, he smiled with interest and gave his own evaluation.

The red defense force had behaved very calmly from just now, and the other side seemed to have abandoned the front-line position, and had no intention of wasting time on the battle for the surface position.

Walter seems to have studied the theory of defense in depth, and now he has come up with a layered arrangement of multiple lines of defense, so that the attacker is caught in the bitter battle of positional warfare, and the attacker will definitely have to pay a very heavy price.

"Yes, by His Majesty's side, you can always get some benefits. Lester lost this game unjustly. Modryel also saw the clue, nodded and said: "It is inevitable to give up on the front-line position, and if it were me, I would also give up." ”

When those positions faced with 155 mm caliber howitzers, they were naturally like chicken ribs, and it was not impossible to insist on defense, but the price to pay was too much. Rather than this, it is better to put the opponent in and fight again, at least the disadvantage of the Red Army's lack of large-caliber artillery will be leveled out a lot.

"The defender's artillery hasn't moved yet, so it's pressed up to their 2nd battalion, and Lester's tactics are somewhat reckless." Vaglon shook his head, feeling that both of these corps commanders were a little young, and had some minor problems of their own.

Modryel also agreed with this opinion, nodded and said: "Don't say it, now that the two of them are commanders at the army level, it is somewhat uncomfortable to go back and calculate this kind of regimental-level offensive and defensive battle." ”

However, the conversation quickly shifted from commenting on their colleagues to emotion about the new weapon. Because of the industrial progress, Alan Hill's weapons and equipment have also begun to increase explosively.

The troops were equipped with a number of new weapons, including defensive mines, large-calibre mortars at the company and battalion level, and new general-purpose machine guns.

When it comes to the machine gun, Modryel likes it very much: "The new machine gun is really good, I heard that it is called 42, Your Majesty often gives such strange names, it is really incomprehensible." ”

Wagglon also liked the weapon, which could be used as a heavy machine gun and accompany the soldiers' attacks: "The name is not good, but the new machine gun is very lightweight, and it is 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 the favorite of the Iran Hill Army. The high demand for this weapon has led to a continuous increase in production, and it has now almost completely replaced the Maxim heavy machine gun as the backbone of infantry firepower.

"The Makqin heavy machine guns have now begun to be eliminated on the second line, after all, there are 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 neglected by the troops, and the Maxim heavy machine gun, which used to be dominant, has now become the standard configuration of the second-line troops.

In order to prevent dragons from attacking the villages in the hinterland, many densely populated towns have arranged garrisons and equipped with weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns, with the aim of annihilating the opposing dragon knight troops that have infiltrated the hinterland as much as possible.

Waglon felt that this kind of progress was a good thing for the army, and said comfortingly: "The earlier Makqin was not wasted, most of it was used for territorial air defense, and now the garrison troops in some towns can also be assigned some anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense." ”

Compared to the time when the garrison was helpless in the face of the dragon knights when it attacked the Arrant Empire in the south, the garrison regiment now has very powerful anti-aircraft weapons, at least equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, which can temporarily defend against the air.

Most of the current 30-mm caliber anti-aircraft guns are installed on fixed anti-aircraft positions in cities, and there is really not much left for the ground forces. After all, now that the Air Force is growing, the air defense tasks of the ground forces are no longer as urgent as before.

"Ha, isn't the air defense all handed over to the Air Force? How can so many anti-aircraft machine guns still be kept? Modryel smiled and looked at his boss.

"It's always not so reliable to rely on others, but it's better to rely on ourselves. In case those new toys of theirs don't work, it's up to our anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to find their way back. Vaglon laughed and decided that if he could rely on himself, he would not rely on anyone else.
