Chapter 7: Military Parade (3)

In the 1900 war, the most profound scenes for foreigners were the scenes in front of the barbed wire fences in the Battle of Langfang, where the charging infantry was bombarded to pieces by heavy machine guns and rapid-fire artillery. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info secondly, are those Tatar cavalry who ride not very good war horses, but are also not afraid of death.

Although many of these cavalry were not Mongols, but Han families from Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong, the Mongols accounted for a large proportion of this cavalry force. For the foreigners, especially the Russians, the first thing that comes to mind when they think of the cavalry in this part of the Far East is the dirty, bearded Tatars.

Therefore, when the young men of those cavalry units appeared, the vast majority of foreigners regarded those cavalry as Tatars........ Mongol. However, these cavalrymen, dressed in uniform and carrying horse pistols (in fact, the barrels of which have been shortened), murdered many camera negatives as they passed by the viewing platform in a majestic manner.

"What do you think of these Tatar cavalry?" A military attache asked in a whisper from behind.

"Well, I think their weapons and horses are very good, probably at least no worse than the Japanese cavalry, right?"

"Not worse than the cavalry of the Japanese?" The military attache who had questioned him earlier said: "I think they are probably on a par with the Russian Cossack cavalry." ”

"Really? I don't think so. Although they fought well in the Far East last year, it was only a skirmish after all, and it cannot be regarded as proof of combat effectiveness. ”

"However, they have broken through the coalition forces on frontal battlefields."

"It wasn't a fair fight.........."

The sound of the two men's conversation was drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, and thousands of horses' hooves trampled the ground, bringing a louder noise than the previous infantry regiment. The distance between these cavalry was much greater than that between the infantry, and it was only a few thousand cavalry, and they were drawn into formation for several miles. It took the whole cavalry half an hour to finish, and then left at the end of the road, and drove into the opening a few miles in front of the Taoist altar to bring the whole group.

There, the troops that had previously participated in the national parade were standing quietly and neatly on the ground as regimental units.

The cavalry was followed by technical and heavily armed units, with the heavy machine guns formed a long snake and the artillery units followed. Seeing more than 100 heavy machine guns passing in front of him, many foreigners turned pale. They naturally remembered the scene of the battle of Langfang, the wails of the soldiers who were slaughtered like mowing grass in front of the barbed wire fence still echoed in their ears.

Many of these military attachés and deputies had participated in that battle. The crossfire of dozens of heavy machine guns can slaughter the infantry on one battlefield, and now they can't help but be shocked when they see more than a hundred heavy machine guns at once.

If these foreigners knew that a third of these heavy machine guns were out of order and could not be used, and even if they did, there would not be enough ammunition, then they would probably be relieved.

The artillery unit is also receiving the most attention, if not the most. The infantry and cavalry of the past can only be said to have caught up with the level of the first class powers in Europe, and the heavy machine gun is not a new thing, and the current Germanized highlands are very fond of this great invention of Makqin, and bought more than 300 of them for his own personal guards in one go.

However, the "Miss 75" who appeared now did not reach the level of the great powers, but left behind all the field guns that the great powers had installed and were being studied. The Black Dragon Society's "Miss 75", that is, the 75mm rapid-fire gun, is basically copied from the Schneider MLE189775mm field gun. This kind of artillery can be described as a cannon, to be precise, a major breakthrough in the history of the development of field artillery. In the history of another world, the "75mm" rapid-fire gun was first secretly researched by the French and prepared to deal with the Germans. Although the French, who were fond of rapid-fire guns, were later taught by the Germans how to behave with thicker, larger cannons, this did not detract from the prestige of "Miss 75".

Before the First World War, "Miss 75" could be said to be synonymous with perfect artillery. With a limit rate of 15 rounds per minute, it can throw other field guns of its class as far as eight streets. In last year's war, the rapid fire of this kind of artillery beat the allied forces of the great powers to the point that they could hardly take care of themselves.

In the history of the world where Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu came, this kind of field artillery is quite famous. After the birth of the Schneider MLE 189775 mm field gun, France absolutely banned the export of this artillery in order to keep it secret, and even banned the equipment of overseas colonial troops.

Even, the French intelligence services used all means to mislead the German spies, and usually carried out many fake research work, as if they were working on the water pressure spring type with all their might. In the end, the Germans judged that the Schneider MLE189775 mm field gun used a hydrostatic spring-type brake retractor, and also increased research in this area, and published the other protagonist of the book, the Krupp M1900 gun.

Due to the slight backwardness of technology, the field artillery of the French army in World War I did not lag behind the German field artillery in any battlefield.

Whether it was the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of the Somme, or the Battle of the Marne, the French army was not defeated by the Germans, and the two sides were generally evenly matched. And everyone knows that German soldiers who are highly obedient to orders are much stronger than French soldiers who do things casually.

However, objectively speaking, Miss France did not perform very well in the first battle.

This is mainly because the First World War quickly evolved into a trench war of static attrition, and Miss France can play a very leisurely role! In this kind of operation, the power and range of the 75 mm guns originally used in field battles were on the small side, but the 105, 120, 150 and other large-caliber guns were more effective.

In fact, for this mode of operation, even 105,150 guns are difficult to cope with, let alone 75-mm guns.

Miss France still played a big role in some sports battles. It has good mobility, can keep up with the advance of large troops, has a high rate of fire, and the artillery power is also good for field fortifications.

As it was the originator of the new artillery, this artillery was extremely famous and the pride of the French.

However, in this world, this artillery is estimated to be the pride of the French. Although Chen Cheng knew, Lin Mengchu knew, and even Gu Lu knew that this cannon was copied from the French, but the natives of this world didn't know it. They also thought that the Chinese had lit up some special technology to come up with such an epoch-making cannon.
