421: Artillery strikes

Because the emergence of tanks completely disrupted the rhythm of the world, especially after the Germans and Chinese got closer and closer, Britain and France felt a serious sense of danger. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And the most bitter is the Russians, because they are the only ones in the whole world who have experienced the horror of tanks, of course, because the radio station has not been widely promoted, and even countries do not have too much technology in this regard, this is mainly because of the chemical reaction caused by Wang Sirui to get Tesla to China.

Here, Tesla can have inexhaustible resources and funds, and can also get a large bonus every year, and promises that in ten years, all the technologies invented by Tesla will be transferred to him half of the patents.

Although Tesla is a scientist, he is also a businessman, so he naturally knows the advantages and disadvantages of doing so. But obviously, he has no choice, if he chooses to leave at this time, with the ruthlessness of the Chinese, Tesla will definitely not leave China alive.

Therefore, he can only passively choose to compromise, continue to use the research funds that never know when they will run out, and try to study some of the technologies he imagines. Ten years later, he could only silently pray that the Chinese would speak and no longer prevent him from returning to the United States.

When Tesla was in the United States, it was taken to China without even completing the preparation period, so the experiment in the United States naturally had to be forced to stop.

Later, some people in the United States also put forward this proposal, but the progress of the research was not fast, mainly because of the lack of funds and the covert sabotage of Chinese spies in the United States, so so far, the United States has only conducted an experiment, and the results of the experiment are still very unsatisfactory.

There have been several experiments in Europe, and the results of the experiments are more and more satisfactory each time, in Europe Wang Sirui has a feeling that he is out of reach, even if he knows, it is difficult to reach out.

But this does not affect the technological monopoly of the Chinese in the whole world, and now the mainstream telegraph in the world is still the cable telegraph, and the Russians have only spent a lot of money to lay a telegraph line from Moscow to Siberia, but unfortunately, a month before the war, Wang Sirui sent a special force of 30 people, scattered around the long telegraph line, constantly sabotaging the Russian cable telegraph.

So far, the cable telegram connecting Moscow and Siberia has been out of order most of the time, and even if the Russians send troops to patrol the route, it is difficult to guarantee that the cable will not be destroyed.

After all, there are forests everywhere, and the special forces with rich combat experience are just sabotaging the telegraph line, and even so far, the Russians have not even seen the shadow of the special forces, and they followed the traces left by the special forces to destroy the line, but they were left by the traps that killed and injured dozens of Russian soldiers.

So, the war had already begun for more than half a month, and the Russians would not have even known that the war had begun, and they had already lost a large number of troops, if it had not been for the secret notification by the French.

This is the first time that Russian Tsar Nicholas II has heard that there is such a thing as a tank in the world, and everyone who knows about tanks, including the Russian high-level, knows nothing about it, and they can't even imagine what kind of equipment a tank is. They were easily defeated.

The shock was certain, but after the shock, it was especially angry, and the tsar immediately ordered 30 regiments of Cossack cavalry to immediately support the Far East.

Aren't the tank units of the Chinese very mobile? But can they compare with the fierce Cossack cavalry who came and went like the wind and fought fiercely?

In the imagination of the tsar, with the ferocity of the Cossack cavalry, it was no problem to deal with the tanks of the Chinese, and even if they were defeated, they could take out their logistics and make them a lone army.

The Cossack cavalry is actually just a general term for many Cossack nationalities, and the Cossack cavalry under the rule of Tsarist Russia is the Don Cossacks, the Black Sea Cossacks, the Caucasus Cossacks, the Astrakhan Cossacks, the Orenburg Cossacks, the Ural Cossacks, and the Siberian Cossacks.

Among them, the largest number of troops was the Don Cossack, with 56 regiments, each regiment under the jurisdiction of 6 hundred-man squads, that is, 600 people per regiment, and 30 regiments were exactly 18,000 people, but because these 18,000 men were all composed of cavalry, their power should not be underestimated.

As for the distance, this is even less of a problem, since the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it only takes less than half a month to travel from Moscow to the Far East, and the tsar has stationed 300,000 troops in the Far East, although the army is currently at a disadvantage, but there is no problem in resisting for a month or two, and the tsar is still very sure of this.

In addition, the first to be ordered to rush to support was the Siberian Cossacks, and the Siberian local army also had to undertake part of the offensive task, that is, to directly attack Xinjiang and other places by land, anyway, the garrison there was not strong, if possible, the tsar even wanted to conquer Xinjiang, and then send the Xinjiang army directly to the east to attack the Chinese Empire itself.

Of course, the tsar also saw that the French didn't seem to have any good intentions, and even the tsar himself didn't know about the tank, and the French knew so clearly, what kind of cattiness existed in this? Needless to say? But no matter what the French think, the Russians must continue to fight back, because the enemy has already hit the mainland, and it is not the character of Tsarist Russia not to fight back.

But it is a little difficult to gather more troops in a short period of time, most of the Russian army is stationed in the west, as well as those countries that have just been annexed, if too many troops are withdrawn, it will lead to problems in Russia's foundation, don't be defeated in the east by then, and the backyard will catch fire, which is called an embarrassment.

And for the Chinese suddenly declared war, which also made the tsar very angry, but no one would listen to the tsar's roar, and the war continued.

……

'Whoosh ......'

A large-caliber cannonball, dragging a long flame and emitting a series of fierce screams, the cannonball ruthlessly tore through the air, destroying everything that stood in its way, and the air could only let out a miserable scream to echo the majesty of the cannonball.

'......Boom'

A huge explosion followed, followed by countless explosions, centered on the place where the first explosion occurred, and a series of brilliant fireworks were ignited in an instant, and the Russian soldiers were directly swept into the air by the huge impact of the shell explosion before they could react.

I didn't even have time to experience the pain in my body, and my eyes went black and I lost my last consciousness.

A few days ago, the Royal Army on the opposite side suddenly became powerful, and a large number of artillery shells smashed one after another on the positions of the Russian infantry as if they did not want money.

But because all of them are small-caliber artillery, although they have brought certain casualties to the Russian army, in fact, the casualties are not very serious, and more damage is still a psychological blow to the Russian infantry.

And because the opponent's artillery positions are relatively hidden, and they are outside the range of the Russian artillery, the Russian artillery can only stare and be in a hurry, and they can't stop the effective return fire at all, unless the artillery positions are moved forward, but that is too dangerous, and the Russian army, which has lost nearly 100 artillery pieces, can no longer withstand this kind of loss.

But early this morning, all the Russian troops were originally adapted to this kind of shelling environment, and they originally thought that today would be the same as before, and the positions would be attacked by countless shells.

But I didn't expect that the position in front was not attacked by even a single shell, the shell directly crossed the Russian position in front and rushed directly to the rear, and what was even more depressing was that because I was worried that the artillery would be attacked, the Russian army transferred an artillery position last night.

But luck really did not stand on the side of the Russian army, a large-caliber shell accidentally hit a Russian artillery piece directly, and next to the artillery, there was an artillery shell on standby, and the artillery attack made this shell quickly detonate, which caused a greater disaster.

Because in the area that is not spacious, a large number of Russian troops are arranged, in fact, they want to disperse, but the enemy on the periphery has compressed the space to the extreme, and the Russian army cannot be used at all, so they can only squeeze together.

And the artillery of the Russian army is even more so, but fortunately, the previous lesson has been learned, the artillery base is separated from the artillery position by some distance, and a lot of protection has been done.

As the temperature gets higher and higher, the snow on the ground has almost melted, and the muddy ground also indicates that the frozen soil is about to be transformed into ordinary soil, which is still very helpful for the Russian army to build positions.

"The middle target, the next target, move two kilometers to the left, increase the distance by five hundred." Not far from the explosion site, two guides in white uniforms determined the results of the previous attack through binoculars, and then quickly gave instructions for the next step.

The other guide, on the other hand, quickly pressed the transmitter in his hand in his way according to their way, and the telegraph was carried on his back, because the distance was not far, so there was no need to deliberately add antennas or anything.

In just a dozen seconds, the soldier stopped moving, and he had already sent out all the things he wanted to say, and received a response from the rear.

In fact, for the guides, the most difficult part of their task is at the beginning, but at this time, the artillery will generally use a gun for test firing, and then the guide will guide the shooting according to the distance and azimuth between the explosion point of the shell and the target position, once the accurate coordinates are determined, then all artillery will be based on this coordinate.

Even if it is necessary to transfer a new target later, then the transfer is carried out on the basis of this coordinate.

And this kind of telegram does not need to be translated at all, the first part of the telegram is to call the artillery position number in the rear, only after confirming that the call is oneself, will it be recorded and responded, and the other positions will not have any response after receiving it, and then there are some pre-negotiated codes, according to the different codes to determine the different targets of attack.
