In order to transport these two huge cannons to the front line, we first used the port to lift them to the ship, and then to the port of Dongdingzhou by sea and then hoisted them onto the train, and then transported them by rail after the initial installation, and arrived at noon today. ”

"With a standard charge, the maximum effective range can reach 5,500 kilometers, and if a strong charge is used, the maximum effective range can be increased to 6,000 kilometers."

Since they have gone to such great lengths to pull this kind of large-caliber artillery over, naturally they can't waste it, and soon Lin Ziran saw the shelling scene of these two 200-millimeter cannons!

When these two giant cannons were fired, Lin Ziran himself was stunned!

The power is breathtaking!

This thing is definitely the most powerful artillery ever made in the history of the Blue Star human race!

Even Lin Ziran himself was amazed by the power of these two hundred-millimeter cannons, and Hou Zheming in Southern Purple City was dumbfounded.

He is also a veteran general in the army for many years, and he has seen many big scenes, and he has not seen heavy artillery bombardment.

The troops under his command had a batch of 200 mm or even 300 mm mortars, but unfortunately they could not play any role, and they were completely suppressed by the long-range artillery of the South China Navy early on.

But now he dared to pat his chest and say that the cannonballs fired by these mortar cannons under his command were definitely not so powerful, no, it should be said that it was far from being so big.

Hou Zheming has not never seen the world, and he also has a batch of 75-mm breech-loading guns that imitate the South Korean Navy, and he knows very well that rifled guns have a great advantage over smoothbore guns.

That's the charge!

The smoothbore gun uses a spherical shell, which is limited by the size of the projectile body, and the amount of charge in it is limited.

As for rifled guns, whether they are used by the South China Navy or their imitation of steel breech-loading rifled guns, they all use cylindrical shells, and in the case of the same caliber, the volume of their shells is several times larger than that of spherical shells.

This also means that the charge will be more, much more!

This is also one of the main advantages of rifled guns!

The steel breech-loading rifled gun developed and equipped by the Southern Navy not only has a long range, high accuracy, fast rate of fire, but also great power!

Otherwise, why do other feudal towns want to copy the rear-loading artillery of the Southern Navy, even if some feudal towns know that their own industrial strength is not enough, but they have to forcibly copy it.

The idea of some feudal towns is very simple, their own technology is not good, especially the gun barrel technology is not good, so I will make the gun barrel shorter and the gun barrel thicker, so as to reduce the requirements for the life of the barrel.

Then the final product is not as good as the original product of the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, but it is not a rear-loading artillery, and the performance in all aspects is still complete with smoothbore guns and front-loading rifled guns.

In order to be able to quickly imitate production, the First Machine Bureau of Zishengzhou actually took the initiative to reduce the performance requirements, so that their artillery was inferior to the field guns of the same caliber in the Southern Navy in terms of range.

However, this does not have a big impact in actual combat, and it is better to use it than nothing.

Zi Shengjun himself has a rear-loading artillery, Hou Zheming naturally has a deep understanding of rear-loading artillery, listening to the sound of the enemy's artillery bombardment and the astonishing power of the explosion, he immediately judged that this is definitely not the enemy's 150 mm howitzer.

In the past two days, they have been subjected to more shelling, and they have a basic understanding of the threat of shelling from artillery of various calibers in the Yugoslav Navy.

The 150mm howitzer was indeed a powerful and a major threat to them, but it was still not as big as the two huge explosions just now.

This is at least a hundred and seventy mm or even two hundred mm breech-loading heavy guns.

In the face of such heavy artillery, how can your own defense line be supported?

Although South Purple City is strong, it has also focused on how to prepare for shelling!

However, it should be noted that almost all fortresses in this era had standards for defending against shelling to prepare for front-loading artillery, and if they survived, they were only used to prepare for 300 mm caliber mortars.

However, now the emergence of rear-loading artillery has led to an exponential increase in the power of artillery, and the anti-artillery fortifications built in the past are far from meeting the demand.

That's the case with Southern Purple City!

Faced with the shelling of a large number of artillery pieces of less than 150 mm caliber from the South Navy, it was already shaky and could not resist it at all.

Now that such a larger-caliber heavy artillery has come, how can this South Purple City be defended?

Can't keep it!

The offensive of the South China Navy, especially in this kind of frontal positional warfare, is quite arrogant and unreasonable, and many times it does not even compete with you in any tactics or the like, but directly bombards with artillery!

Hundreds of artillery pieces continued to shell the defense line of South Purple City, and the South Purple City became the focus of artillery bombardment, and the small South Purple City was almost completely covered by artillery fire.

The artillery units of the Southern Navy ploughed almost the entire South Purple City with shells.

In the face of such a fierce shelling, the defenders could not move at all, or even if they did not go out to hide, but they were facing huge casualties.

At the same time, the infantry units of the Southern Navy continued to attack, especially the right-wing detour troops led by the 2nd Division.

The offensive continued that day, and by the evening they had completed their strategic detour.

In addition, the cavalry corps farther north also received good news, they routed part of the enemy's cavalry and infantry, captured Guanquan City, fifteen kilometers north of Nanzicheng, and deployed defenses, while destroying the railway.

The Guanquan City is the way station of the railway line, and the capture of this place is equivalent to cutting off the railway line, organizing the rapid reinforcement of the enemy, and also cutting off the retreat and supply line of the enemy army on the southern front.

The cavalry troops moved smoothly, and the second division also moved very smoothly, and after the successful detour, the Southern Navy had already divided the entire South Purple City and the surrounding enemy forces.

When the enemy's various units lost contact with each other, they were unable to support each other, and at the same time, they were at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and more importantly, they were difficult to adapt to the new offensive tactics of combining infantry and artillery in the South China Navy, and it was very uncomfortable to fight.

In this case, the comprehensive rout of the 150,000-strong army of the Zisheng army in the south has actually become a foregone conclusion!

In this battle, the South China Navy occupied an absolute advantage in all aspects.

Superiority in troops, cavalry, and artillery, and the South China Navy still took the initiative to launch a surprise attack.

Even the morale of the military is in a high position.

In this case, the victory in the northbound battle is reasonable, and it can even be said that as long as there are no accidents, then the victory is appropriate.

The victory in this battle was expected!
