Generally speaking, the traverser still has an advantage, no matter how far-sighted the prince is, there is a certain limit, he can think of machine guns, think of trench defense system, because these things have appeared. And rapid-fire artillery has never been seen on land! If the prince could think of this, Ruprecht would be more than willing to ask for his mobile phone number.

The first wave of suppressive fire of the prince was the first to have an accident, when the German artillery fired the first empty pack of shells, before the artillery had time to reset, a series of artillery sounds sounded on the opposite position really startled people! "This is at least the firepower of an artillery battery!" A series of loud noises came from a distance, making His Royal Highness a little overwhelmed. A minute later, Count Schelling next to him reminded. "This artillery position of yours has already been destroyed, and in real combat, at this distance, it is simply impossible for your artillery to survive such heavy shelling!" The Earl faithfully fulfilled the duty entrusted to him by the Prince, and said earnestly.

"I've really made something!" His Royal Highness, who had lost two guns, immediately adjusted his disposition, requiring that all the guns be placed behind the shelter and forcing the elevation angle of the guns to be raised. The muzzle velocity of the old artillery using maroon ****** itself is relatively low, the trajectory is relatively curved, and the hastily constructed bunker is actually successfully in the blind spot of the opponent's shooting! "When the cavalry charged, at least two guns were left behind to release smoke grenades! In order to reduce the lethality of the machine gun, the prince specially ordered.

What's the saying? If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates! And this time, Ruprecht has to add a sentence, don't be afraid of the other party's god-like weapons, just be afraid of the reliability of your own coffee table! The new rapid-fire gun, which was originally intended to act, finally went wrong under the exercise close to the actual combat environment! After 1 gun fired 8 shells in a minute, there was a decisive problem with the hydraulics! TM leaks again!

At this time, Ruprecht had to sigh at a powerful historical inertia, a series of problems encountered before the birth of rapid-fire guns in history, none of our traversers were left behind! Later generations will know the famous French M1897 rapid-fire gun, which has the longest range and the largest projection of its class, making Miss 75 proud. HOWEVER, THIS ARTILLERY WAS NOT THE FIRST RAPID-FIRE GUN, AND IN 1889 THE FRENCH MADE A 57MM RAPID-FIRE GUN WITH A SHORT RESEAT, WHICH WAS NOT TOO SUCCESSFUL DUE TO VARIOUS IMMATURE REASONS.

At the same time, a German engineer was also working on rapid-fire guns, and this was Arnaden Hauser, who had just become a viscount. Historically, he designed the first rapid-fire gun with a long recoil, which he patented in 1891. It uses a hydraulic reverse rear seat device. But at the same time, he was unable to solve the leakage problem in a short time and missed Krupp. The Traveler succeeded in finding the designer, and at the same time succeeded in restoring the rapid-fire cannon that had appeared much later. But in the end, it also succeeded in inheriting the technical problem of this not yet mature artillery - leakage!

If it weren't for this technical problem, the time-traveler would also want to have a friendly discussion with his uncle, wouldn't he be guilty of so many things? But from now on, it seems that it turned out even worse!

If there is a problem with the first door, then there may be a problem with the second door as well. The fierce and fierce artillery made a great impression on the prince. But then the guns of the two gun nests actually dug fire one after another. He was a little surprised, but in line with the principle of going to the opportunity to go up, under the cover of artillery, a company of Bavarian cavalry launched a charge! At this time, there is only one cannon that the traverser can use to intercept the opponent's attack! Originally, there were 4 guns, and 3 guns could be concentrated in any direction for shooting, but after the two guns had problems, the traverser sadly found that he could only rely on one gun to resist the impact of a company of cavalry! And what's even more tragic is that this cavalry company also has a company of artillery cover!

However, the comprehensive performance of the M1897 rapid-fire gun imitated by the traverser is really good, in addition to firepower and range, another advantage is that it is lighter, and the gun of more than 1 ton is barely within the range that can be pushed by manpower, which can be regarded as having a "certain" battlefield maneuver ****! And after abandoning the historical monopod gun mount, the artillery firing range with the use of bipod gun mounts reached 25 degrees! Far more than the original 6 degrees! And these designs finally won a chance for His Royal Highness the Prince!

When a company of artillery fired at the rapid-fire gun that was still working for 10 minutes, Count Schelling declared that the gun had lost its effectiveness. Then the prince's cavalry decisively charged! Just when the cavalry was only 700 meters away from the trench, the last cannon had moved to its proper position, and the terrifying cannon sound rang out again! The gun fired frantically at a rate of 6 rounds per minute. And at the same time, the frontal machine guns began to roar!

"Your cavalry will suffer heavy casualties under this firepower, and theoretically, even if your cavalry can break through this line of defense, there will be no more than 30% of the remaining men and horses." Count Schelling's crow's beak opened his mouth again, and to be honest, he was still satisfied with the little prince's performance. Although the result is certain. "If you withdraw your rear cavalry, you will still be able to retain some strength." The Earl suggested.

Although a company of cavalry was put into the attack, the prince's formation was still very open, and he had also seen the power of the machine gun, so he wanted to try to find a place where the firepower was weak to attack, but I have to say that the opponent's crossfire was well arranged, and there were not many weaknesses on the attack surface.

"Push half of the artillery forward a bit." Although there were huge "casualties", the cavalry still used their speed to quickly advance to the final distance, if nothing else, the result of this exercise was decided, but for the sake of safety, the prince still ordered part of the artillery to approach!

The cavalry quickly crossed the first line of trenches and passed past the artillerymen, which, according to the rules of the exercise, had been breached, and the artillery positions had been destroyed, and the knights continued to advance, and with a little more effort they could rush through the enemy's core line. And at this moment, the roar of the machine gun came from behind! The flank and inverted positions arranged by the traverser on the flanks have finally worked!

"It's so cunning!" The prince also had to admit that this nephew of his was too insidious and cunning! The machine gun crew, which suddenly attacked, was on the side of the cavalry attack line, and in this case the lethality of the side fire was too strong! If this is a real battle, this side shot can take out a platoon of cavalry!

All the cavalry of a company "fell" on the way to the attack. The prince lost half of his troops, but Ruprecht, as the defender, also played all the cards in his hand! 2 guns were unusable due to malfunction, 1 gun was destroyed by the opposing artillery, the other was destroyed by the cavalry, the artillery could not be kept without machine gun positions, and when the last flanking position was exposed, the defenders lost the last machine gun! And the other side also has a cavalry company and 1 company of artillery! The results are already obvious!

"Let's go, go see my good nephew!" When Count Schelling signaled the end of the exercise, the Prince and his retinue stepped into the defensive position, and he was greeted by the grim-faced Prince Ruprecht and his chief of guard, Viscount Schmidt.

"If you have two more guns, it is difficult to say whether the battle will be won or lost, my artillery has twice the number of empty air, but there is no firepower to match the numerical superiority." The prince said calmly.

"There was a little bit of a technical problem with those two guns." Ruprecht almost found a crack in the ground to get into, and the reliability problems he had tried so hard to avoid were completely exposed in this actual battle. The prince's heart is so cool! The unwillingness in my heart can be imagined.

"Good things, flaws." The prince said as he walked around a faulty cannon and looked at the leaking hydraulic cylinder. In fact, the prince is also entangled in his heart! If it is under normal test conditions, if a gun hits more than 20 shells and there is a problem, it is absolutely intolerable!

But now the situation has changed somewhat, and during the exercises, the fire of a new type of artillery almost overwhelmed the artillery of one of its own companies! And let yourself lose a lot. This comparison in performance has reached the point where it can overwhelm some flaws, and the equipment of the new artillery will definitely raise the combat effectiveness of the German army to a notch.

Such a high rate of fire made the prince, who had been the commander of the artillery regiment, excited. What's more, after all, everyone is a family, and it would be nice if they could use the new guns they produce instead of buying the guns of some nouveau riche who lives in Essen. And a few simple words indicate the prince's final conclusion, the general direction is good, can be supported, and then deal with the technical problems first.

Later, the prince walked in front of a machine gun, but the prince was really surprised by its small size and weight! A simple tripod replaces the original gun mount, and the volume of the entire machine gun receiver is much smaller than that of the Maxine machine gun, the weight has been reduced to the extent that it can be disassembled and carried by infantry, and the volume can be easily hidden in the bunker, reducing the probability of being destroyed by artillery. After optimization, this is definitely an epoch-making infantry weapon!
