"Just now, our Princess thought that our quantitative disadvantage was too obvious," Jiang Yucheng said, "Then, let's take a look at how big our qualitative advantage is."
Jiang Yucheng nodded to Ms. Onion, who then retrieved a video of the Type 88 general-purpose machine gun shooting from the database - in the video, the Type 88 general-purpose machine gun roared and spit bullets at the shooting range. A hail of bullets left the target on the shooting range riddled with holes.
"Oh my godthis power" Except for the heroes and the Onion Lady's adjutant, the others were all frightened¡ª¡ª
"It turns out that this kind of weapon called a "machine gun" can actually be made so small If Nanoha's bombardment can also have such a rate of fire"
Although the concubine has seen the terrifying power of anti-aircraft machine guns, after all, anti-aircraft machine guns are very large and can only be used as fixed firepower points or placed on vehicles. The weapon in front of you is relatively small and can be operated by several soldiers.
"Now, my princess, how big do you think our advantage is in terms of quality?"
"I have to say, it's really big" Aria nodded, "Speaking of which, how can Yucheng's weapons achieve such a fast rate of fire?" she thought secretly.
Although, in terms of modern warfare, she can only be regarded as a primary school student who has just started. But even so, she still knew very well what this weapon meant to the Imperial Army, which was mainly battle infantry and used old-fashioned front-loading muskets - at this moment, she even sympathized with these Imperial Army. Because even she can now imagine the scene of machine guns spitting flames, slaughtering the Imperial Army like harvesting wheat. (Of course, this is just the most ideal situation)
In fact, in the history of the earth, when machine guns were first put into the battlefield, they were even enough to completely wipe out the numerical advantage of the side without machine guns. In 1891, British colonial troops fought against the Zulus in Rhodesia. A 50-man British squadron used 4 Maxim heavy machine guns to repel the attack of 5,000 Zulus, killing 3,000 Zulus.
Compared with the Maxim heavy machine gun, which is large and bulky, with very low reliability and maneuverability, the qjy-88 general-purpose machine gun, as an important part of the Chinese 5.8 mm small-caliber infantry weapon system, has high shooting accuracy and small recoil. It has a series of advantages such as good controllability, light weight and good maneuverability.
"According to the current progress, by tomorrow we can produce at least 10 of these "universal machine guns" and 4 of those "89 heavy machine guns"" Quasimodo continued, "As for the "squad use" "20 machine guns have been produced so far, and about 50,000 rounds of matching bullets have been produced"
"Thank you very much, Brother Quasimodo." Jiang Yucheng said, "Now weapons and ammunition are no longer a problem, so now, I think even if the First Emperor personally descends to earth, there will be no way to prevent the destruction of the Imperial Army's Colonial Corps ¡¤¡±
Of course, the reality is far from ideal as Jiang Yucheng said - according to Aria's description, the imperial battle infantry all wear cheap defensive talismans. Although the defense alone is not strong, if they advance side by side, they can still form a very powerful defensive barrier.
Although the original Emera Defense Force had rifles with range and rate of fire, they were not able to overwhelmingly massacre their opponents like previous battles in Earth's history - on the contrary, they were massacred by their opponents. The reason is simple, their bullets cannot penetrate the Imperial Army's defenses at all.
Similarly, the Republican Army, which used the same rifles, had rarely used cold guns to successfully kill enemy line infantry in battles before. However, Jiang Yucheng believed that against machine guns with such a powerful firepower density, even if they were lined up in a battle line, the effect of the magic runes would not be terrible¡ª¡ª
After all, the firepower density of machine guns and assault rifles is too great, and the power of 5.8mm small-caliber bullets and 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets is completely different from the inferior rifles in this world.
For Jiang Yucheng, there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle - only the process of the battle is suspenseful. After all, with the level of technology in this world, the shield array of a cheap magic amulet manufactured by a commercial dealer cannot have very high defense power - at least, it cannot block a 140mm caliber armor-piercing projectile with an armor-piercing ability of up to 1300mm from a Type 05 tank at a distance of 2000 meters.
In other words, if it doesn't work, he can use his energy point inventory and use the Type 05 tank's 140mm armor-piercing projectile to blast the shield into pieces, and he can easily eliminate the colonial corps. However, he did not intend to do this - the reason is very simple, this method of play is not only too expensive, but also does not give his troops a chance to exercise - after all, this method of play can only be used for a while, and he will face the empire in the future. This won't work when it comes to legion's heavy cavalry.
"My shot""But, choose the battlefield here -" Jiang Yucheng waved his hand, and a map of Emera automatically appeared on the holographic projection screen. He scratched the screen with his finger as if using an iPad on Earth. Click to zoom in on the map. Then, what appeared in front of everyone was a place 80 kilometers northwest of the town of Santa Elva¡ª¡ª
This is a piece of undulating hills. There are exactly two parallel ridge lines running from the northeast to the southwest of the entire battlefield, 2,000 meters apart. Since both sides, which are mainly infantry, do not have very strong maneuverability, such a battle distance is not too long - after all, this is not the 38th Army of Jiang Yucheng's previous life, and neither the colonial corps nor the flag guard are possible. A world record for light infantry advancing 70 kilometers in 14 hours
"What we need to do is rely on the ridges to set up machine guns for defense." Jiang Yucheng took the laser pointer from the hands of Adjutant Onion Niang, pointed at the ridges on the map, and said, "The infantry platoon of the Guards Flagship is responsible for the front line. For defense, the second platoon of infantry serves as a battlefield reserve and is on standby behind the ridge. If the imperial army cannot hold on, the first platoon of infantry will move forward one step further and establish a defense line at the foot of the mountain."
Jiang Yucheng lightly scratched the map with his finger, and immediately, a bunch of blue triangles representing the Republican Army and a bunch of red triangles representing the Imperial Army appeared on the screen. Originally located at the mountain ridgeline and behind the mountain on the map, there were two rows of blue triangles representing the first and second rows respectively. When Jiang Yucheng said, "One row moves forward," he pushed down with his hand, and the row moved to the foot of the mountain. The second row at the back went up the mountain.
"The foot of the mountain?!" Aria was a little surprised, "Why the foot of the mountain The terrain there is not suitable for defense at all"
"Of course it's not suitable for defense -" Jiang Yucheng said, "because my purpose is to attract the enemy to attack. If we are lucky, after our machine guns fire a round, we can find someone to collect the corpses of these imperial troops. Of course, if you are unlucky and the shield's defensive effect is strong enough to withstand the machine gun, then I have a way."
"any solution¡¤¡¤¡¤"
"Dig trenches!" Jiang Yucheng said.
Jiang Yucheng drew with his finger, and a dark color band appeared at the foot of the mountain on the map, indicating the trench.
"Trench?" Aria was stunned - compared with the development trajectory of earth's history, people in this world still don't know what a trench is.
"Ah, this trench thingRyan, please tell Her Royal Highness the princess." Jiang Yucheng said to Hughes.
"Yes, sir." Hughes stood up, saluted everyone with a new military salute, and said, "Your Highness, this is how it is"
Next, Hughes, who received basic infantry tactics training specifically for future commanders, began to explain to Aria what a trench was, its characteristics, and its role in defensive warfare.
For the army of this era, which is dominated by battle infantry, trenches are not considered, not entirely because the mind is not flexible enough, but because trenches are not very useful - high-explosive ammunition has not yet been widely used, and infantry has no way to avoid artillery. Urgent request. Moreover, battle lines of infantry are all fought on the move, so fixed defensive positions are of little significance.
"Oh, that's it" Aria suddenly realized, "But having said that, the distance between the two ridge lines is only 2,000 meters. What if the enemy is one step ahead of us and enters the trench early?"
"What should I do? If that's the case, then I have to kneel down and kowtow three times to the commander of the Imperial Army!" Jiang Yucheng said, "If they really seize the trench, it will be more beneficial to us."
"Eh?!" Aria felt a little incomprehensible, "Why is this"
"Ryan." Jiang Yucheng nodded.
"Yes, sir." Hughes continued to explain to Aria, "If the enemy really enters the trench, we, who are condescending, can just throw grenades to resolve the battle."
"Correct answer." Jiang Yucheng cast an approving look at Xius.
"Grenade?"
"Yes." Hughes said, "It is impossible for the enemy to continue to maintain their formation in the trenches. We throw grenades into the trenches from high places, and we will definitely explode them accurately."
"If those beasts really got into the trenches, after the battle, we only need to ask the engineers to drive over with a bulldozer and bury them all, even without digging graves" Qian Dui suddenly said.
"Haha, Captain Qian gj!" Jiang Yucheng smiled and gave Captain Qian a thumbs up.
"Now, back to the original topic -" Jiang Yucheng continued, "As the saying goes, "Victory with righteousness, victory with surprise", if the worst result is adopted, our troops willAfter breaking the trenches and reaching a stalemate with the enemy, we need a surprise force to break the stalemate. "
"Sir, are you talking about those trucks?" Hughes asked.
"Very good." Jiang Yucheng nodded, "Ryan, you really have the talent of a commander"
