308 six-inch howitzer
Lin Haoda's Brittany theater was very large, almost one-sixth of the area of the Kingdom of France in its heyday, and more than a face!
The other area, which was about the same size, located in the south-west of France, was divided into the Marseille theater by Lin Haoda, and the area in the south-west of France occupied by the Young Guards was all included in the Marseille theater.
The smallest area was the Paris Theater, but the Paris Theater was located on the border of central France, and in the absence of the Girondist regime not wanting Lin Haoda to advance, the Paris Region was the front line against the Marquis de Lafayette and the European imperialist intervention forces that were forming an alliance.
The fortress of Verdun is at the forefront!
Now, of course, the Marquis de Lafayette is mired in Lyndon. In the quagmire of the militia of the 10,000 local alliances, there is no time to take care of Lin Haoda for the time being......
It is precisely because of this that the Girondists did not dare to act rashly, and the aristocratic mercenaries of the Marquis of Provence were armed with the garrison of the Young Guards in the Marseille theater, but under the absolute superiority of troops, they were golden......
The Marquis de Lafayette was again unexpectedly popped up by Lyndon. The 10,000 Local Autonomy Alliance pulled its heels, not to mention how many enemies Lin Haoda has in the future, for the time being, if the Girondists want to attack the Paris region, they can only 'go alone' with Lin Haoda!
This is the reason why the Girondists abruptly withdrew their troops after Lin Haoda became the chief consul of the French Republic.
The Girondist bosses and political leaders were well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Young Guard, and even if the National Guard had a numerical advantage, they still did not dare to easily confront Lin Haoda's entire main force.
The Girondists were more keen to expand their territory and co-opt the scattered aristocratic armies in France.
Even General Rogers in Strasbourg couldn't care about it......
And the general Rogers, after hearing that the consul of the French Republic had become the biggest dictatorship and reactionary leader, Lin Haoda, did only one thing, silently returned to Strasbourg with his men and horses, and waited for the situation to change, or wait for death......
Anyway, General Rogers, who was defeated in the hands of Lin Haoda, did not want to face the main force of the Young Guards at all.
After Lin Haoda divided the three major theaters of war and effectively restored the operation of the government of the French Republic, the long-overdue all-out war system finally gave a prompt:
[Congratulations on successfully destroying the ruling government of Robespierre, greatly expanding the control of the occupied area, and successfully taking over the legacy of the First French Republic, raising the security environment in your control area to a safe level!]
Your rule is not yet accepted by most Frenchmen, but at least you have the ability to keep them silent and neutral, a move that greatly increases your reputation in this world, raising your reputation level to 14!
Level 14 prestige opens access to a new class, the 6-inch howitzer.
Would you like to inquire about the specific data of the 6-inch howitzer? Because the next step will be to choose the class that rewards the army. 】
"Of course." Lin Haoda naturally replied to the all-out war system in his heart.
[Class: 6-inch howitzer.]
Effective range: 300 meters
Artillery Attachment: A 6-inch howitzer with 6 horses towed, equipped with 6 professional artillery members.
Applicable ammunition: shrapnel (flowering bomb), incendiary bomb, lime bomb.
Introduction: Artillery with a short barrel, high angle of fire and curved ballistics. Because of its special trajectory, it is less affected by the terrain and can cause damage to enemy personnel in bunkers or behind walls. Grenades or incendiary grenades are usually fired. Sometimes there are hot air balloons that rise into the air to observe where the shells land, and are primitive artillery observers.
Artillery equipment: new howitzers, cannon igniters, ram rods, self-defense sabers, breech brushes, binoculars.
Artillery attire: tall military hat with pattern, dark blue military uniform, buckled white military boots.
Advantages: Siege the city, kill and damage the enemy's living force in a large area, which is equivalent to the upgraded version of the mortar cannon.
Remarks: It can cause damage to the enemy with cover, the range is closer than the infantry gun of the same caliber, but the lethality of personnel is very considerable, if a grenade shotgun is fired into the center of the enemy queue, it can directly scrap the combat effectiveness of most of the soldiers of the enemy's small horizontal phalanx, as long as the enemy army that is hit is not an elite unit with high morale, the company that is directly hit is likely to retreat! The biggest advantage of this 6-inch howitzer over the original mortar is not the range, but the accuracy, in order to pursue the hit rate, the 6-inch howitzer is closer than the old mortar gun, but the shell can only play a role when it hits someone. 】
"It turned out to be a howitzer! This thing is a big killer in the era of queuing to shoot, even if it is the original howitzer, it also shows terrifying power on the battlefield, the Europeans are at the end of the queuing to shoot era, but they are abused enough by howitzers on the battlefield, the era of Maxine heavy machine gun makes infantry group charge is gone, and the majestic development of howitzers is the root of ending the battlefield queue!
Bombarding the ranks with howitzers, piles of infantry marching forward in piles, it is really a shrapnel of shrapnel and a phalanx of infantry companies is not an exaggeration at all. “
Lin Haoda saw the appearance of the 6-inch howitzer, and his heart suddenly surged full of excitement, this howitzer is essentially different from the mortar, whether it is a siege or a field battle, it is an infantry killer!
Therefore, Lin Haoda directly chose to exchange all the six-inch howitzers in the later rewards, this era is the period when queuing for shooting is prevalent, and even the militia knows that they have to queue up on the battlefield to win the battle......
Naturally, to deal with the big killers in line to shoot the phalanx, there are not too many howitzers!
[Ding~ You chose the six-inch howitzer to be exchanged for all members, under the bonus exchange of a single class and the bonus of making up the fraction, you got a hundred six-inch howitzers, and each six-inch howitzer received an additional thousand rounds of shrapnel, and the matching incendiary bombs and lime bombs need to be developed by yourself, and the all-out war system will only provide some samples. 】
"Huh? Incendiary bombs and lime bombs need to be developed on their own? Is it because these two bombs have not yet been invented in this era?
An extra thousand shrapnel for one door should be compensation for this, but unfortunately, shrapnel did not appear in France, and it seems that I still have to leave some for technicians to develop and copy, otherwise I will not have to replenish it when it runs out......"
Lin Haoda listened to the prompt sound of the all-out war system and thought silently in his heart.
At the same time, Lin Haoda, who had obtained 100 six-inch howitzers and had a sufficient ammunition base, naturally wanted to change the battle plan he had set before, but Lin Haoda had always remembered the 'sins' of a certain wall-top grass!
