As a result of the final exercise, Feng Laosi and his men suffered 20 percent of the men, successfully resisted the attack of Stelz's two reinforced battalions, and inflicted fatal losses on him.

Sterz lost all his artillery and heavy machine guns, and with eight companies suffering more than 60 percent of the casualties, he was simply unable to launch a new attack, and some of the referees even thought that his army had lost its combat effectiveness, and the defenders only needed to send a platoon of troops to turn them all into prisoners.

For this result, Sterz did not object, this has already saved him some face, if according to his original estimate, there will be no one left in the last six companies he invested, and all of them will die on the battlefield.

As for doubting the verdict of the referee team, it is simply a stupid thing, will the referee team insult the soldiers of the empire for an outsider?

Then he made a request, let him lead his officer corps to visit the position that made their heads bleed, as for the content of the later exercises, the fortifications they had built were attacked by Feng Laosi and them, and it was over.

The opponent's artillery, which fires quickly and can cross obstacles to bombardment, is suppressed without corresponding weapons, and its own side will not be able to defend at all, and will only become a target for others.

"Mr. Feng, are all the fortifications on your surface fake?" Sterz asked in surprise when he heard Feng Laosi introduce that all the fortifications on the surface were fake.

"Mr. Colonel, all the fortifications you have seen are displayed for you to see, according to the regulations, in order to reduce casualties, if time permits, two sets of light and dark fortifications should be built according to the situation, so as to confuse the enemy and reduce your own casualties."

Feng Laosi did not gloat, let alone be complacent because of the victory of the exercise, as a soldier who participated in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, he clearly knew what the final fate of a proud army was, and the first fleet in Asia was defeated in pride.

"Mr. Feng, can you show me around your actual fortifications? I wondered what kind of fortifications could withstand the bombardment of my sixty heavy guns unscathed. ”

"Yes, Mr. Colonel. There's nothing to keep secret, my chief told me I can let you have a tour, please come with me. "Gao Hongsheng did give an order to let the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire visit one of their qiē, and also explain it to them in detail.

His main purpose was to make the Austro-Hungarian army a little stronger than the previous life, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not deal with Russia very much, and it was even more pleasant to fight with it during the First World War, but unfortunately the Austro-Hungarian Empire's crowd tactics against Russia finally failed, if Austria-Hungary had not finally dragged down Germany, the First World War would not have ended so shortly, and the European powers would have shed more blood.

The soldiers looked at the fortifications, the officers visited the new weapons, three machine guns, three kinds of artillery were placed in front of Archduke Ferdinand, and the effectiveness of these weapons was clearly seen by him through his binoculars.

The rest is to talk about the arms business, and the final result of the negotiations is that the new weapons Skoda Arsenal and the factories in the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be produced, but the weapons produced are only allowed to be used by the Austro-Hungarian army and are not allowed to be exported.

However, in order to take care of his own business, 45-mm light mortars and light machine guns can be exported to Russia, but not to Russia and Japan, which are too close to China, and Gao Hongsheng does not want to let them use their own weapons to fight him.

At the same time, Gao Hongsheng also handed over the development of follow-up weapons to the Skoda Arsenal, first of all, the weight reduction of artillery, and removed all kinds of messy things that those engineers added in private, such as the forty-five mm light mortar, which originally weighed only more than ten kilograms, but now it is good, in order to increase the accuracy of shooting, the barrel was increased, and in order to improve the firmness of the artillery, the iron pipe of the original gun carriage was replaced with a solid rail, which thickened the thickness of the base and made the gun more stable when fired. In the end, the total weight reached more than 20 kilograms.

However, it is not without good things, the small stretchable periscope is good, and it also has a rudimentary distance measurement density value scale, which is very helpful for accurately estimating the shooting distance.

Gao Hongsheng had to give the engineers of the Skoda Arsenal a good lesson, the relationship between simple, durable and lightweight artillery, and put forward the development direction of artillery in the future, including the design and production of 120 mm mortars and the pre-research of larger caliber mortars, as well as the requirements for the increase in the variety of 75 mm rapid-fire artillery, including the specific design work of howitzers and mountain guns, the development of 1005 mm light howitzers, 120 mm cannons, howitzers, Design work on one hundred and fifty-mm howitzers, cannons, and other artillery, as well as the basic requirements for these guns.

As for the development of larger-caliber artillery, Gao Hongsheng did not mention it, but he estimated that those designers would not let it go, and he would just take the ready-made ones when the time came.

At the same time, he also gave high bonuses to motivate these engineers to try to make the product design as perfect as possible.

In particular, in view of the current situation that the soldiers' education is not high, the problem of simplifying the use of light artillery and the work of specialization of heavy artillery was proposed, and the indirect shooting method used by later generations was proposed, and the calculation method of the Chinese artillery secret position system in later generations was integrated into the sights of later artillery.

In this way, Gao Hongsheng made the new artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire comprehensively improve to the level of the end of the First World War, and made them come to the forefront of the whole world in the application of artillery in the First World War, especially the large-caliber mortars produced by the Austro-Hungarian Empire later, which completely replaced the German and Austrian armies that originally used compressed air as power and ** as a mine-thrower for propellant.

Due to the fact that the new artillery used the new smokeless gunpowder, and the production capacity of the new smokeless gunpowder in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was insufficient, Gao Hongsheng and Archduke Ferdinand invested in a series of chemical plant construction work to produce new special Dana explosives and **, which were used to fill the huge demand in the future, and as a result, the original problem of insufficient production capacity of smokeless gunpowder in the Austro-Hungarian Empire no longer existed.

Of course, Gao Hongsheng was still only responsible for the money, he only got 30 percent of the shares of the new dynamite factory, Archduke Ferdinand was in charge of the other things, he owned 35 percent of the shares, and the rest of the shares were given to the capitalists.

At the same time, Feng Laosi and their other drills also taught the Austro-Hungarian generals a good lesson, not only the construction of defensive positions, but even the leggings of the American army during World War II equipped by Feng Laosi have become the research objects of those people, not to mention the helmets, multi-purpose sapper shovels, first-aid kits, marching backpacks, combat vests, etc., so they almost took off their socks to take a look.

As for the formation of the skirmishers during the attack, the way machine gun fire was used, the use of whistles to transmit orders, the use of sign language among soldiers, and so on, the curiosity of these generals can be described in great detail.

Tong Guò observed Feng Laosi's drills, so that those stubborn generals, finally understood how backward their tactics were, in the face of such an army armed to the teeth, their traditional intensive offensive method, will be equipped with machine gun army under the muzzle of the head to break the blood, at the same time, a large number of troops equipped with automatic weapons also made their original traditional cavalry units, completely withdraw from the battlefield, cavalry must be transformed into mounted infantry, into rapid movement of infantry to play a role.

As a result of these transformations, the Austro-Hungarian army was greatly enhanced in combat effectiveness, and its large cavalry units were successfully transformed into rapid reaction forces, which played a decisive role in the battles against Russia in World War I.

Of course, these changes cannot be completed overnight, but the fact that their best army was defeated by the army of the Great Qing State makes anyone who obstructs the change dare not even raise the idea of raising objections, otherwise a big hat will be buckled, and you want to make the army of the empire unable to win even the army of the Great Qing Kingdom in the future?

Colonel Steltz, who should have been unlucky, was always mentioned as a negative example in later years.

However, his troops had a real exercise with Feng Laosi, and the pain of the fiasco deeply stimulated this excellent unit, making them transform most thoroughly, and seriously follow Feng Laosi and them to learn honestly, so that their combat level was raised to a very high level in a short period of time.

Later, at Stelz's strong request, his troops preemptively carried out the refitting of new equipment, which also enabled his regiment to use advanced tactics and weapons in later exercises, always beat other troops, and successfully humiliated those who dared to insult him with excellent results.
