It was a tall artilleryman, and it immediately made people awe-inspiring.

In those years, people in the army were sour when they talked about artillery, saying that they would do everything they could to shrink behind people and shoot artillery, and they didn't really do it with a knife, but no army could do without artillery, and they all invested heavily in the construction of artillery.

"We have served in the artillery unit for fifteen years, and then worked in the Moscow Artillery Academy for five years, and the war in the Qing country was tight, and we were called up to fight!" Lieutenant Colonel Chekhov was more amiable and thanked the three squad leaders for coming to escort him.

"We must use our artillery to strike hard at the Japanese country! I wish the two governors meritorious service to the country! Squad leader Valiev raised his glass.

"Of course!" All should be reconciled.

Everyone treats red wine as if it were boiling water.

"We will definitely do it, we are Russian, the soldiers are strong and strong, one beats him five, and little Japan is not even as good as my body hair." With the help of alcohol, the squad leader Loban shouted loudly.

Valiev shouted and clinked glasses with him.

Chekhov smiled shallowly, of course he knew that the situation was not good, the Russian army was used to arrogance and looked down on the Japanese, but he didn't expect the Japanese to be worried, before the war, the number of artillery was 7 times more than that of Russia!

Under the bombardment of the Japanese artillery, the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, and after discovering that something was wrong, they hurriedly transferred artillery, shells, and equipment from the west, and the artillery came to the east.

The front line was not optimistic, the rear was in chaos, two officers came all the way, and even got twenty wagons of shells on Lake Baikal to get them back on the road!

According to the railway employees of the Baikal station, the twenty wagons of shells arrived at the station three weeks ago, because the trains gave way to the front-line trains to pause, and as a result, they stopped for three weeks until the arrival of two artillery specialists!

For three weeks, no one paid any attention to these sleeping shells, as if the military had completely forgotten to dare these twenty wagons of shells!

The railway employee with a sense of justice approached the military representative, and the military representative actually said that he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, and he would pay attention to it when the people who could pay attention to them arrived... In fact, it was the plan of the cannonball wagon that was ignited and smoked by him while drinking!

The two artillery experts knew from the railway employees what was going back, opened the carriage and checked it, and they were angry!

This is a shell from the 76.2 mm 1902 field gun, which is the most famous and best 3-inch field gun, which was only freshly baked in 1902, with fierce firepower, fast rate of fire, and great power!

It is conceivable that these twenty wagons were placed in the rear, and there were no shells in front, and the soldiers really used their flesh and blood to PK the enemy!

The two experts could only look up to the sky and sigh, they had worked at the grassroots level, how could they not know the darkness of the army, and there was no way to hold them accountable, so they had to urge the shells to get back on the road......

……

Budyonny was rich in learning, but he lacked modern military information, so he met two artillery experts and asked them: "How does our artillery compare with the Japanese artillery?" ”

"You're a Cossack, and you want to ask about artillery too?" Leonid said.

Looking at the way he looks, it is as if he is saying, "You are a peasant, do you want to ask about the four books and the five scriptures?" ”

"Hey, it's a good thing that young people are studious." Chekhov said good-naturedly: "I'll talk to you!" ”

"We now use the M1900/30 gun, but the best is the 1902 3-inch field gun, which is equipped with a garrison and a fast rate of fire, which is a good gun!" Chekhov's eyebrows fluttered.

The 1902 3-inch field gun was indeed fierce, it was made according to the principle of the French M1897 type 75mm cannon, and was licensed and supported by France.

And this kind of French gun, which occupies a very important position in the world's military history, is also called the French 75 rapid gun, the French 75mm rapid-fire gun, the Schneider re-entry mechanism 75mm gun, the 75 Miss and so on.

The French added a hydraulic stationary retraction mechanism to the artillery, so that the recoil was absorbed by the stationary machine, and the recoil transmitted to the gun carriage was reduced.

The re-entry mechanism pushes the retreating gun body back into place, facilitating the firing of the next shell.

In addition, the M1897 adopts an easy-to-operate eccentric rotary bolt, which has a rate of fire of up to 15 rounds per minute and a limit rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute. Compared to the standard weapon of the armies of the great powers at the time: the Amststrong breech gun, its rate of fire averaged two rounds per minute.

At that time, the relationship between France and Russia was very good, so Russia imitated this cannon and transported it to the front line to fight against the Japanese-made Type 31 rapid-fire gun with the German Krupp artillery bloodline.

The Type 31 rapid-fire field gun has a caliber of 75 mm, a speed of 7 rounds per minute, a maximum firing range of 6,200 meters, and a maximum distance of 7,750 meters using a battlefield modified artillery mount, towed by three horses.

The disadvantage of the Type 31 rapid-fire gun was that it was not designed to install a stand-off aircraft, so each shot would cause the gun to retreat significantly, which led to a low hit rate. It is inferior to the Russian 1900-style 3-inch field gun in terms of range, and it is inferior to the Russian 1902-type 3-inch field gun with a stationed aircraft installed in terms of range and firing speed.

The 75 group has 15 rounds a minute, even if the Russian military industry is poor, the M1902 rapid-fire gun has 10 rounds per minute, which is better than the Type 31 rapid-fire gun!

Chekhov explained all sorts of technical terms to Budyonny, and he listened to them with great interest.

Speaking of which, it's the first time he, the former deputy chief tank commander, has met a professional!

But he wisely did not make a big fuss, and said, you can listen, if you brag with the professionals13, maybe the Cossacks will ask a priest to exorcise evil spirits!

You are a literate guy who can actually measure the range of a cannon, you can use a cannon mirror, you are the reincarnation of the devil!

Chekhov's conversation was very interesting, and after talking about rapid-fire guns, he talked about heavy artillery: "The Ruyi 28 cm howitzer is a crater of a basketball court when it goes down (the 1904 St. Louis Olympics has already held a basketball exhibition game), try to ask what weapon in the world can match it!" ”

Budyonny thought a lot, my planes, tanks, and rocket artillery were enough to make a bulky cannon fly into the sky!

Although Chekhov had historical limitations, believing that mobile artillery should be implemented and that heavy large-caliber artillery should play little role in field warfare, he still put forward the theory that a large number of artillery should be used to defeat the enemy, and there must also be a place for heavy artillery.

"Heavy artillery support in the rear, field artillery melee attack!"

"It's a pity that we have too few artillery pieces and too few artillery!" Chekhov shook his head.

He gave a good point to everyone: "When the enemy shells, where is the safest?" ”

"Nani?" Budyonny asked.

"It's in the crater of the shell!" Chekhov said: "It has been scientifically proven that after a crater from an artillery shell, the probability of the second shot falling is very small!" ”

"Oh!" The three squad leaders looked suddenly enlightened.

……

When it was night, Budyonny and Valev went to rest, leaving Loban to keep vigil, and Chekhov asked him: "You seem to be a little afraid of this young boy?" ”

"Afraid of him?" Luo Ban smiled bitterly: "This kid is okay, in our team, the marksmanship is the first, the knife skills are also very sharp, and the equestrian skills are also strong, can you not be afraid of him!" ”

"That's it!"

Waiting for Loban to go to the check, Leony asked puzzledly: "Why do you talk so much about him, a Cossack?" ”

"This is not a simple Cossack!" Chekhov said with a slight squint.
