Chapter 403 Doom
Amul has no shortage of resources. As long as the machine keeps running, there will be as many bullets as you need.
Skilled machine gunners are fed by bullets. Under the control of a skilled machine gunner, a heavy machine gun is a sniper rifle with continuous fire capability, ultra-long range, and extremely powerful power.
In the confrontation between the Fu Master and the Harbin Master, the heavy machine gun has always been the protagonist. Facing the position defended by the heavy machine gun, the attacking troops can only bite the bullet and have no other choice.
It’s fine now.
With the cover of tanks, the threat of light infantry is greatly increased. As long as the infantry combat coordination is practiced well, George is confident of sweeping Europe, let alone Japan.
"This thing is a good thing. Whether it is offensive or defensive, it can be used as a tactical fulcrum."
Ye Luoxin was elated.
“If we had this thing 20 years ago, we would definitely be able to take over the Black Sea outlet——”
Mi Liujing’s faint regret, more than 20 years ago, is still vivid In the head.
The static display of the chariot is enough to make people happy, and the momentum after running is equally astonishing.
The speed of 10 kilometers per hour is not very fast, and it is enough to cooperate with the infantry advancement.
The bullets of the 12mm large-caliber machine gun are as thick as carrots. Human tissue is basically broken into pieces. Ordinary bunkers have no effect. 20cm thick reinforced concrete can be penetrated with a single shot. .
“If you use a 12mm machine gun to hit a tank, can it penetrate it?”
Vasily drew inferences from one example.
"Oh, whether it's a 12mm machine gun or a tank, only we have it!"
Kuklev was full of confidence.
George is not worried about this problem.
If the opponent has large-caliber machine guns and tanks, then continue to increase the caliber and strengthen the armor. The Amur Military District is already on the right path, which is very important for technological development.
“Organize production as soon as possible and equip the troops quickly to form combat effectiveness.”
George told Kuklev that the bonus would be indispensable.
"Wouldn't it be handed over to the military for further testing?"
Kuklev was surprised that George was a little less radical than George.
George also wanted to further improve it, but time did not wait for us.
The military tests it for three or two months, submits suggestions for modification, and then tests it for three or two months. After this set of procedures, it remains to be seen whether it can catch up with the war.
Even if the technology of the chariot is not perfect yet, it is enough for a small life.
"The Talisman Master is the oldest unit in Amur, and the chariot should be equipped with the Talisman Master first."
Vasili took the initiative, and the production of the chariot was limited. If you grab it, you will make money.
“Those who have lost the confrontation for two consecutive years have no right to make demands!”
Andre did not give in.
"Last year, there was a sudden heavy rain during the exercise. If the roads were not washed away by floods and the artillery troops could not reach the battlefield in time, you would have no chance at all!"
Vasily was furious.
“As a commander, this is not a suitable excuse.”
Andre was calm and composed.
After the army expansion this year, Runev, the commander of the Yuriev Division who had just been promoted from the reserve to the regular army, and Zhirkovsky, the commander of the Nikolayevsk Division, also have ideas.
"Duke, Yuriev's division has just been established and should receive more support——"
Runev emphasized that he hoped that George would give more support for the sake of the name "Yuriev". Please give me some support.
Zhirkovsky and Colin, the commander of the Sakhalin Division, were also a little jealous.
The Sakhalin Division is the servant army formed mainly by Japanese workers.
Theoretically, new equipment such as chariots will not be used by sa divisions at all.
But there is a contingency in everything.
What if George becomes more kind-hearted?
Vasily and Andrei, who had been making a lot of noise just now, were surprised to find that someone had stolen their home, and they instantly reached an agreement. Soldiers still have to rely on their performance to speak for themselves.
Then look at the summer exercises in August.
However, the situation this year is a bit special. There is a fierce battle in Kanto, so the confrontation originally scheduled for August has been moved forward to June.
"What if we win?"
Runev fought hard.
“You are dreaming!”
The descendant of the military god is overflowing with domineering power.
Then try it.
George is happy to see this kind of healthy competition. Only with competition can progress be achieved.
Maslov still has a lot of experience, and what he values most is the turret.
To protect the shooter, 20mm steel plates are used around the turret to provide all-round protection for the shooter.
Maslov believes that the turret can not only be used on tanks, but can also be disassembled and installed on a turret, and can also serve as a tactical fulcrum.
George did not attack Maslov, but he was not prepared to do so.
For defense, it is enough to build a machine gun bunker. There is no need to waste turrets.
George's tactics are all based on offense, replacing defense with offense and directly defeating the opponent.
As an epoch-making weapon, the emergence of the chariot will completely change the shape of warfare.
George is only responsible for getting the chariot out.
How to apply it depends on Vasily and Andrei.
After Makarov took office, the morale of the Pacific Fleet has indeed improved.
Unlike Witthoeft, Makarov was unwilling to give up sea control, so when the Japanese combined fleet launched another attack on Port Arthur, Makarov took the initiative.
Three consecutive failed raids made Togo Heihachiro fully realize that it was almost impossible to annihilate the Pacific Fleet.
So Togo Heihachiro changed his tactics and sent warships to lay mines outside Port Arthur in an attempt to trap the Pacific Fleet alive with mines.
Late at night on April 12, Togo Heihachiro sent warships to secretly lay mines outside Port Arthur, and at dawn the next day, he sent warships from the Third Division to lure the enemy outside Port Arthur.
At that time, the Pacific Fleet destroyer was returning to Hong Kong from overseas activities, so the destroyer was besieged by Japanese destroyers.
Makarov dispatched the armored cruiser "Bayan" out of port to assist the destroyer fleet.
But the "Bayang" was besieged by the warships of the third Japanese fleet.
So Makarov personally took the battleship "Petropavlovsk" and commanded the fleet to encircle and suppress the Japanese third battle group.
The warships of the Third Fleet fled in panic.
Makarov ordered the pursuit.
40 nautical miles east of Port Arthur, the fleet led by Makarov encountered the main force of the Japanese Fleet 66.
Makarov's fleet only has one battleship, the "Petropavlovsk", which cannot compete with the Japanese army.
Makarov then ordered the fleet to return.
When other warships entered Port Arthur, nothing unexpected happened.
The "Petropavlovsk" has a displacement of 11,500 tons, a total length of 115 meters, a width of 21 meters, and a draft of 8.6 meters, which is one size larger than other warships.
In full view of everyone, the "Petropavlovsk" slowly sailed into Port Arthur.
The accident happened suddenly at this time.
Boom——
The "Petropavlovsk" hit a mine on the starboard side. The mine explosion caused a water column higher than the chimney. The ammunition depot subsequently exploded. Just two minutes later, the "Petropavlovsk" sank to the bottom of the sea. Makarov and 649 officers and men were killed along with the ship.
