Regarding the "boat bridge car", this is not Qin Zhiyuan's first creation.

The British are currently working on a boat-bridge vehicle, and the French have a similar project, both to allow the tank to quickly pass through the anti-tank trenches that preceded all the positions, and get through the battlefield unimpeded.

Although the Germans are also developing tanks, they do not have the project of boat-bridge vehicles, probably because the Germans are currently on the defensive and have no need to attack in this regard.

Now that the project has been established, with the scientific and technological capabilities of Britain and France, there will soon be a finished product. Because of Qin Zhiyuan's joining, the Frenchman's boat bridge car appeared earlier, and the most important thing is that the old Renault has applied for a patent for the boat bridge car in major Western countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and the United States, and the patent fee will be shared with Qin Zhiyuan.

Patenting is important at all times, and even if royalties are not collected in a hostile country during the war, this should not be overlooked. Qin Zhiyuan led the First Brigade to join the "international game" of hegemony, so you must abide by the rules of the game, otherwise, people will not take you to play at all, and there will be no way to talk about the rise of the nation.

The second observation point is a shooting range near the exercise site, where the attacking and defensive sides will test fire the various weapons used in the exercise, and obtain various data that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the attack.

The first was the anti-aircraft artillery firing of the 1st Infantry Regiment.

It is said that it is a war defense gun, but in fact it is a 77 mm caliber field gun of the Germans. The Germans do not yet have anti-tank guns specifically designed to hit tanks, but in view of the fact that the tank has about one centimeter of armor at this time, using a 77 mm caliber field gun, even if it does not use armor-piercing shells, it will be directly pasted in the face by a cannon, and the four-ton light tank will be beaten into a part state.

The German 77 mm caliber field gun is actually a sister gun to the French "Miss 75".

At the beginning of the world war, the French "Miss 75" did have certain advantages, but with the development of trench warfare, the shortcomings of the "Miss 75" such as short range and low power were multiplied. Because the Germans captured part of the "Miss 75" in the war, the technical advantage of the "Miss 75" no longer exists.

The appearance of tanks gave a new life to small-caliber artillery, such as artillery such as "Miss 75", when professional anti-aircraft guns did not appear, it was still very suitable to use them as anti-tank guns.

In mind, the artillery hits of the 1st Infantry Regiment were not much lower than the French artillery, which was known for its artillery. France is a romantic country, a country that permeates the air of freedom from top to bottom, and their artillery is also infected by it.

Before the World War, French artillerymen used to make jokes during exercises that all ten shells missed the target.

Therefore, when he saw that the direct fire rate of the artillery of the infantry regiment reached almost seventy percent, Foch, who was born in artillery, also showed surprise on his face.

"Your artillery is doing well." Foch nodded repeatedly.

"Give them a little more time and they'll do better." Qin Zhiyuan, who was accompanying him, was not proud.

"What tricks do you have for training artillery?" Louis, the commander of the Western Front, was also curious, apparently he was also dissatisfied with the French artillery in his subordinate units.

"Hardly, the artillery instructors in my unit are still sent by the command, and they use the same training methods as yours. If there is one thing to emphasize, it is hard work and strictness. Qin Zhiyuan replied truthfully.

But in the face of this answer, Foch and Louis both smiled bitterly, the French artillery can do almost everything, but it just can't do it "hard and strict".

"Judging by the results, half of the tanks will be destroyed on the way from the starting position to the defensive position." Pierre, who is still responsible in the General Staff, summed it up.

That's the point of live fire, based on the hit rate of the artillery, and then how many of these tanks will be able to complete the attack. Strictly speaking, this result is still good, because if in real combat, taking into account the actual situation on the battlefield and various accidents, half of the tanks can complete the task.

Chen Kangjian was obviously not satisfied with this result, and as soon as Pierre announced, Chen Kangjian jumped out to object: "Impossible, my tank can move, and it is not to stop in place and be beaten passively, and there are also tank guns on the tank, and the 75 mm tank gun is also lethal to the defensive artillery on the position, how can half of it be destroyed?" ”

Although it was only a drill, Chen Kangjian acted fiercely, as if his tank had really been destroyed.

"Half of them are less, and in fact there are quite a few other means on the position, and I can guarantee that only a tenth of your tanks will be able to rush to the position at most, and then they will be burned to scrap metal by flamethrowers." Liu Zizheng was there, and he was not moved by Chen Kangjian at all.

"Nonsense, my tank is accompanied by infantry, do you want your pyroes to burn the tank? Your Pyro was turned into a torch before he even reached the tank. Chen Kangjian jumped up and retorted, but fortunately, taking into account the senior officers at the scene, Chen Kangjian actually used French.

How fast the French skills of these people have improved!

"There are mines planted in front of my position, there are machine guns on the position, and there are artillery behind the position, and your infantry can't get a few of them." Liu Zizheng is confident.

"Don't I have a cannon on my side? The attack will definitely be preceded by two or three days of fire preparation, and your anti-tank guns will not be able to fire a single shot, and they will be destroyed on the gun emplacement. Chen Kangjian is more confident.

"My artillery is usually in the anti-tank hole, your tank doesn't come up, my artillery doesn't come out at all, why do you knock out my anti-tank artillery?" Liu Zizheng was not in a hurry.

"Well, when I attacked, the covering artillery fire began to extend, and your artillery began to be rolled out at this time, when my artillery was 500 meters away from your position, and when the tank attacked at full power, it could reach a speed of 18 kilometers per hour, that is...... Well...... How long does it take? "Chen Kangjian, who doesn't learn and doesn't have skills, is stuck.

"5 meters, five meters per second." Pierre maliciously reminded.

"Yes, five meters, it only takes less than two minutes for my tank to rush to your position, can your artillery be ready to fire in two minutes?" Chen Kangjian was proud.

The difference between 100 seconds and two minutes is not big, in fact, this time estimate is wrong, on the battlefield, in the face of complex terrain conditions, it is impossible to run at maximum speed. Although the tanks of the 1st Brigade have undergone an upgrade to increase their engine horsepower to 18 kilometers per hour, the propulsion speed on the battlefield should still be about 10 kilometers per hour.

"Yes!" Liu Zizheng doesn't talk nonsense.

"Then you try!" Chen Kangjian didn't believe it.

Try it, Liu Zizheng gave an order, and the six soldiers pushed up the cannon weighing less than 700 kilograms and ran, which looked quite easy. After pushing less than 20 meters, the artillery was deployed according to the operation steps, the rangefinder began to measure the range, and the gun commander kept giving various orders, and sure enough, in less than 2 minutes, the artillery was successfully deployed, completed the preparation for firing, and could fire at any time.

Liu Zizheng and Chen Kangjian had all kinds of fighting methods, and Foch and Louis looked at Qin Zhiyuan with more and more solemn eyes.

Well, the troops in his hands have strong combat effectiveness, and they can really improve the status of the general.
