Chapter 254 Chapter 254 New Official Position
"Boom!" A shell hit the crude position, and a soldier carrying a K1 rifle patted the dust off his head, poked his head out to look at the enemy troops in the distance.

The opponent's soldiers didn't seem to intend to attack immediately, but were waiting for their own sufficient shells to smash the target area to the ground.

These flowering shells produced by Cyric are imitated from the howitzer shells of Datang Group, but they are relatively rough.

After all, the chemicals in their fuze ignition device are actually only the first generation of products, and there is not much improvement.

Datang Group has been improving its formula all along, so it has the follow-up bullet and shell technology.They have never stopped developing, so the technology between Cyric and other consortiums has not been brought closer, but has become farther and farther away.

Of course, at this stage, the two sides have not yet formed a sufficient generational gap, so it seems that the power is actually equal, so the fight is also called inextricable.

Another shell whizzed past and hit the hill behind these Wright soldiers, a violent explosion broke out, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Different from the 75mm and 120mm standard calibers of the Datang Group, Cyric chose the more aggressive 80mm and 130mm gun calibers. Anyway, there are no hard and fast rules and standards in this world, so in their manufacturing experience In terms of more abundant arms, Cyric did not choose the standard caliber of the Datang Group like the rails.

In addition, they also chose a larger caliber for the musket than Datang Group's K1 needle gun, and used different bullets.

In short, if you purchase Cyric's needle guns now, you will never accept Datang Group's needle guns and other weapons at all.

The weapons of the two sides have formed different systems. Most of the countries that purchase needle guns and artillery from Cyric do not seem to have a good relationship with the Three Kings Alliance supported by the Datang Group.

The reason for choosing a larger caliber is that Cyric still has some problems with the production accuracy of the artillery, including the fuze of the shell, and the power of the charge, which seems to be far from the standard product of Datang Group, so They can only rely on expanding the caliber to make up for these gaps.

This is the same reason that most of the products of the Soviet Union were very large in size: since the accuracy is not good, the volume should be enlarged to make up for the problems caused by the lack of accuracy.

Datang Group's C64 artillery, to be honest, the technology is outdated, but it is still the mainstream equipment in various countries.

Similarly, for the first time in this war, the two sides used a large number of rear-loading artillery at the same time, and all members were replaced with breech-loading rifles. Therefore, this Laige war is also called the first breech-loading weapon. battle.

However, at this moment, the recoil gun is still the most equipped and most powerful artillery on the battlefield-its shooting accuracy is actually average, and it requires very professional shooting operations to barely guarantee the shooting accuracy.

Therefore, although the border guards of the Kingdom of Wright are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of artillery pieces, their artillery technology is obviously superior to that of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Kingdom of Gemelin.

After all, these artillerymen were brought out by the top artillerymen who graduated from the Military Academy of the Datang Group, so there must be more than enough.

Moreover, the performance of the artillery on both sides is similar, so the artillery battle was really protracted, which annoyed the commanders on both sides.

The troops of the Kingdom of Gmelin are actually under pressure to attack. They need to be the first to break through the opponent's border defense line before the reserve team in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wright arrives on the battlefield. This is the key to their victory.

For this reason, they prepared 5 legions, an army of 7500 people!And these troops are all equipped with the new needle-fired guns of the Cyric Consortium, and an additional 70 80mm caliber breech-loading field guns have been strengthened, which can be said to be strong and strong.

At the same time, they still have their own secret weapons. They have another 1500 people equipped with lever rifles secretly purchased from the Datang Group. These rifles are secretly purchased and imported from various countries in batches.

It's just that the bullet reserves of these weapons are actually not too many, and it is estimated that they can barely support a few battles.

However, this secretly formed legion was also equipped with 10 Cyric consortium's "treasures" - 130 mm caliber heavy field guns.

The performance of this thing is similar to Datang Group's C80 field gun, but the shells are heavier and more lethal.

It weighs 2 tons and is more difficult to transport than Datang Group's C80 artillery, so it needs more pack horses and more transport and supply units to supply.

Fortunately, the Datang Group launched the T-type car, which helped almost everyone improve their logistics and supply problems. This made this two-and-a-half-ton behemoth move slowly to join the battle.

In the past, such heavy artillery was generally used as a fortress artillery, and there was no way to maneuver with the troops.

Compared with Datang Group's products, Cyric's artillery products do not actually have an advantage in terms of performance, and are even far behind. However, Cyric's artillery shells are sufficient, which makes the military of the Kingdom of Gemelin more powerful. Overwhelmed the border guards of the Kingdom of Wright.

"Boom!" Another shell fell near the trench, and the soil kicked up made the soldiers hiding in the trench flustered.

They haven't fought this kind of battle yet, they don't need a neat phalanx, they just need to hide in the trenches and wait for the enemy to rush over...

In fact, the Kingdom of Gmelin had already attempted to launch two attacks, and apart from losing hundreds of people, they hadn't even touched the trenches of the Kingdom of Wright.

For recruits, they only need to hide in the trenches, poke their heads out and pull the trigger on enemies the size of rice grains in the distance, which is really friendly.

The ability to repel an enemy with almost no risk of life was unimaginable in the past few decades.

It's just that the wars of this era cannot be without death.A single shell that happened to land in a trench would cause a large number of casualties at once.

Even if the trenches are carefully built, maintaining an S-shape or even a Z-shape extension, there will still be unlucky soldiers who happen to stand where the shells fall.

"Someone is wounded! Someone is wounded!" Finally, again, the shell hit the trench directly, killing three soldiers of the Wright Kingdom and wounding at least seven more.

An infantry squad was almost wiped out, and many people came from both sides to pull out those comrades who were buried in the floating soil to see if they were injured.

Not all troops are accompanied by extravagant medical soldiers. Most armies in this era rely on soldiers to transport the wounded.Those who were slightly injured walked back to the field hospital behind, and those who were seriously injured were temporarily left on the battlefield to fend for themselves, and after the battle was over, the soldiers sent them back to the rear.

It can be seen from this that the Datang Group's troop establishment is definitely ahead of the entire era. They have civilian personnel, medical soldiers, and even special engineering and sniper units.

It is precisely because of this that an infantry regiment of the Datang Group has three battalions under its jurisdiction, and the total strength is close to 3.The legions of other countries in this era are still the standard 2000 people.

"My troops have lost a lot. More than 100 soldiers were killed or wounded. Where are the reinforcements?" On a reverse slope far away from the battlefield, in a tent that had been set up long ago, the commander of the Wright Kingdom pinched his chin and asked his side young staff officer.

The staff officer touched the dandelion ring on his hand, thought for a few seconds before answering: "According to the analysis of the loss, we can persist here for at least one day."

"Then our legion will be disabled..." the commander said with a bit of pain: "At that time, we will not be able to participate in the follow-up operations."

"The shells in reserve have almost been exhausted. If we continue to shoot, the artillery will be misfired. At that time, the situation will be even worse." The officer raised the issue of artillery again a little annoyed.

The line of defense where they are located has been fought all day and night by the enemy as a key area for breakthrough, and now everyone feels a little exhausted.

"We still have machine guns." The staff officer reminded.

"Fortunately, you didn't let me deploy the machine gun unit to the front line! If we expose this hole card, the current situation will be even more passive." Speaking of this, the commander of the legion showed an expression of appreciation on his face: "This Although it is your first time participating in actual combat, you performed very well."

Hiding such a big killer also gave him a bit of confidence as a commander.He knew the power of the machine gun, and when it suddenly appeared in a decisive battle, the opponent would probably suffer a big loss.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir!" The young staff officer nodded slightly in thanks.

"This is not a compliment! The defense line built according to your deployment has indeed withstood the enemy's attack. The logistical supplies and resource allocation of our army are also arranged by you. There is no chaos and order..." The officer looked at the young man , said: "I am going to write a report and apply to His Majesty the King to officially set up a staff officer in the army."

"You know, I'm just here for an internship." The young man said with a smile.

"After your internship, you always have to find a job! Come to me to be the chief of staff! The deputy army commander has to listen to you! How about it?"

"What else? You have the final say." The young man smiled and touched the ring on his finger again.

"Sir!" While the two were talking, a captain opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, and reported, "A section of the position was hit by shells. Three people were killed and seven were injured."

"Hey... Where are the king's reinforcements?" The legion commander looked at the map again and muttered angrily.
