Overall, time travelers still have advantages. No matter how far-sighted the prince is, he has a certain limit. He can think of machine guns and trench defense systems because these things have appeared. Rapid-fire cannons have never appeared on land! If the prince could think of this, Ruprecht would be very willing to ask his mobile phone number.

The first wave of suppressing firepower occurred in the prince. When the German artillery launched the first empty bag, before the artillery could be restored, the series of cannons sounded on the opposite position really scared people! "This is at least the firepower of an artillery company!" A series of loud noises came from a distance, making His Highness a little at a loss. A minute later, Earl Schelling next to him reminded. "Your artillery position has been destroyed. In actual combat, at this distance, your artillery could not survive such a violent shelling!" The Count faithfully fulfilled the duties assigned to him by the prince and said seriously.

"I'm really making something!" His Highness, who lost two artillery, immediately adjusted the deployment. He asked the artillery to be arranged behind the shelter and forcibly increase the elevation angle of the artillery. The old artillery that used the maroon color ******* was relatively low in the initial velocity and the ballistics were relatively curved. The bunkers built in a hurry were successfully at the other party's shooting dead end! "When the cavalry launched a charge, they left at least two artillery to release smoke bombs! In order to reduce the killing effect of the machine gun, the prince specifically ordered.

What is there to say? If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate! And this time, Ruprecht would like to add another sentence, don’t be afraid of the opponent’s god-like weapon, you are afraid of the reliability of your own coffee table! The new rapid-fire gun that was originally planned to act finally had problems in the exercise close to the actual combat environment! After one cannon fired 8 rounds of shells in one minute, the hydraulic equipment decisively encountered problems! TM leaked again!

At this time, Ruprecht had to sigh at a powerful historical inertia. The series of problems encountered before the birth of the rapid-fire gun in history, we travelers did not lose any of them! People later generations knew that the famous French m1897 rapid-fire gun, the almost farthest range and maximum projection of similar artillery made Miss 75 proud. However, this kind of artillery was not the first rapid-fire gun. In 1889, the French developed a short rear-seat 57mm rapid-fire gun, which was not very successful due to immature reasons in all aspects.

At the same time, a German engineer was also studying rapid-fire guns, which was Anadenhauser, who had just become a viscount. In history, he designed the first long-rear-fasted rapid-fire gun, which had applied for a patent in 1891. It used hydraulic anti-rear-fasted equipment. But at the same time, he could not solve the leakage problem in a short time and missed Krupp. The traveler successfully found the designer and also successfully restored the set of rapid-fire guns that originally appeared later. But in the end, he successfully inherited the technical problem of this not-so-maturity gun - leakage!

If it weren't for this technical problem, the time traveler would also want to have a friendly discussion with his uncle. Would he have to make so many things? But from now on, the result seems to be even worse!

If there is a problem with the first door, then there may be a problem with the second door. The fierce and fierce artillery left a deep impression on the prince. But then the artillery in the two artillery nests was in silence one after another. It surprised him a little, but based on the principle of taking the opportunity, under the cover of artillery, a company of Bavarian cavalry launched a charge! At this time, there were only one artillery that the crosser could use to intercept the opponent's attack! Originally, there were 4 artillery pieces, and 3 artillery pieces could be concentrated in any direction for shooting, but after the two artillery pieces had problems, the crosser was sadly discovered that he could only rely on one artillery to resist the impact of a cavalry in a company! And what was even more tragic was that this cavalry company also had artillery cover for a company!

However, the comprehensive performance of the m1897 rapid-fire gun imitated by the time traveler is indeed good. In addition to firepower and range, another advantage is that it is lightweight. The cannon of more than 1 ton is barely within the range that human power can promote, and it has a "certain" battlefield maneuver****! After abandoning the one-legged gun mount in history, the artillery fire industry that uses a two-legged gun mount reached 25 degrees! It far exceeds the original 6 degrees! These designs finally won a glimmer of opportunity for His Royal Highness the Prince!

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands. When a company of artillery fired the powerful rapid-fire cannon for 10 minutes, Earl Schelling announced that the cannon had lost its function. Then, the prince's cavalry decisively launched a charge! Just when the cavalry were only 700 meters away from the trench, the last cannon had moved to the appropriate position, and the terrifying cannon sounded again! The cannon fired wildly at a rate of 6 rounds per minute. At the same time, the machine guns on the front also began to roar!

"Your cavalry will suffer heavy casualties under this firepower. In theory, even if your cavalry can break through this line of defense, the remaining personnel and horses will not exceed 30%. " Earl Schelling's crow mouth spoke again. To be honest, he was still satisfied with the performance of the little prince. Although the result is certain. "If you withdraw your cavalry from the rear team, you can still retain some strength." The Count suggested.

Although he had invested a company of cavalry attacks, the prince's formation was still very open, and he had also seen the power of the machine gun, so he wanted to find places with weak firepower to attack, but he had to say that the opponent's cross-fire power was well arranged, and there were not many weaknesses on the attack surface.

"Push half of the artillery forward." Although there were huge "scare and casualties", the cavalry still quickly advanced to the final distance using their speed. If nothing unexpected happens, the result of the exercise will be confirmed. However, to be safe, the prince still ordered some artillery soldiers to approach!

The cavalry quickly crossed the first trench and passed by the artillery. According to the rules of the exercise, this line of defense had been broken and the artillery position was also destroyed. The knights continued to advance and tried hard to rush through the opponent's core defense line. At this moment, the roar of the machine gun came from behind! The crosser arranged the side and backward positions on the flanks finally played a role!

"Too cunning!" The prince had to admit that his nephew was too sinister and too cunning! The machine gun team that suddenly attacked was on the side of the cavalry attack line, and in this case the lethality of the side shooting was too strong! If this was a practical battle, this side shooting could kill a platoon of cavalry!

All the cavalry of one company "fall" on the way to attack. The prince lost half of his troops, but Ruprecht, as the defensive party, also played all his cards! Two cannons could not be used due to failure, one cannon was destroyed by the opponent's artillery, and the other was destroyed by the cavalry. The artillery could not be saved if the machine gun position was lost. When the last side attack position was exposed, the defenders lost the last machine gun! And the other side also had a cavalry company and an artillery company! The result was already obvious!

"Let's go and see my good nephew!" When Earl Schelling sent a signal that the exercise was over, the prince took his entourage to the defensive position, and he was greeted by Prince Ruprecht with his face-blue-faced Viscount Schmidt.

"If you have two more guns, it is hard to say the outcome of the battle. My artillery is twice as numerous, but there is no firepower that matches the advantage of quantity." The prince said calmly.

"There were a little technical problem with those two cannons." Ruprecht almost found a crack in the ground and got into it. The reliability problem he tried hard to avoid was completely exposed in this actual battle. The prince's heart was so cold! The unwillingness in his heart was conceivable.

"Good thing, flaws don't hide the merits." The prince wandered around a cannon that had a problem, looked at the hydraulic cylinder that had leaked fluid, and in fact, the prince was also confused! If it was a normal test case, if a cannon had a problem after firing more than twenty shells, he would definitely not tolerate it!

But the situation now changes. During the exercise, the firepower of a new cannon almost suppressed his own company of artillery! It caused himself to suffer heavy losses. This performance comparison has reached a level that it can overwhelm some flaws. The equipment of the new cannon will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of the German army to a higher level.

Such a high firing rate made the prince who once was the commander of the artillery. What's more, after all, we are a family. It would be great if we could use the new cannons they produced without having to buy the artillery of a nouveau riche living in Essen. A few simple words show the prince's final conclusion. The general direction is good and we can support it. Then we can deal with the technical issues first.

Then, the prince walked to the front of a machine gun, but its ultra-small size and weight really surprised the prince! A simple tripod replaced the original gun stand, and the volume of the entire machine gun receiver was much smaller than that of the Maxine machine gun. The weight had been reduced to the point where it could be disassembled and carried by infantry, and the volume could be easily hidden in the bunker, reducing the probability of being destroyed by artillery. After optimization, this is definitely an epoch-making infantry weapon!
