Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

When the Japanese infantry entered within 200 meters, Chu Yunfei picked up a Mauser rifle and shouted:"Hit me."

After that, he raised the gun and fired a shot at a Japanese major.

A direct headshot, the marksmanship is very accurate.

After Chu Yunfei fired, other soldiers climbed out of the trench and started shooting. boom! boom! boom!

Gunshots were fired one after another, and fire was shooting out.

In an instant, dozens of unsuspecting Japanese soldiers fell.

Originally, the Japanese army thought that after a round of shelling, most of the casualties on the other side would be majority. As a result, the gunfire was so dense that it was obvious that the other side was not seriously injured at all.

Mitsui Tomita, the commander of the 18th Army Division of the Japanese Army, looked gloomy. He took a look with a telescope and found that the number of people on the opposite side was not much smaller at all. In other words, the bombardment for a long time was in vain.

Seeing this, Mitsui Tomita said angrily:"Let the cavalry charge for me and directly crush their camp."

"Hi!"

In today's mainstream army in the world, infantry and cavalry are the most glorious.

It is also called the glorious era of cavalry.

Before World War I, European countries still retained large numbers of large cavalry units, and it was generally believed that cavalry would continue to play a role in wars. Important role.

But at this time, European cavalry tactical thinking has changed. Because the infantry firepower has been greatly enhanced, launching a hand-to-hand charge against the infantry is no longer the core of cavalry tactics. The main role of the cavalry unit has become a large-scale strategy. Reconnaissance.

By suppressing the enemy's cavalry to achieve one-way information transparency, and waiting for opportunities to find and break through loopholes in the enemy's defense line and destroy the enemy's rear.

At this time, the cavalry played more of a fast mobile force, and it can also be said that the cavalry was the The only reliable fast mobile force.

After the outbreak of World War I, all countries expanded their cavalry units. Russia had the largest number, with 29 divisions, Germany had 11 divisions, Britain and France had 10 and 1 cavalry divisions respectively.

Japan naturally followed closely behind, with a division of cavalry.

This time they brought a cavalry regiment of about a thousand people.

Generally speaking, it can be said to be a sweep.

As the flag was waved, there were bursts of horses neighing and horse hoofs. The sound was deafening, as if the mountains and rivers were swallowed up, and the earth was shaking.

Chu Yunfei looked through the telescope and saw a group of cavalry raising thick smoke and riding horses like the wind. There were thousands of them.

Chu Yunfei sneered and ordered:"Heavy The machine gun is ready. The cavalry enters the 200-meter range and immediately cross-fires."

""Yes."

The Japanese cavalry showed a cruel smile, as if they saw the enemy trembling in front of them.

But when they just entered within 200 meters, the opponent's trench suddenly sprayed out countless bullets.

Da da da

Maxim heavy machine gun fired The sound was like the song of death.

The heavy machine gun with an average of more than 500 rounds per minute had very powerful firepower. Not only that, the bullets were as dense as a sudden rain. The

Japanese cavalry fell one by one like the wind blowing waves of wheat.

In Mark With the support of Qin's firepower, not only the cavalry fell in pieces, but also a regiment of infantry that had charged before fell in pieces. There was no room for defense at all.

The advantage of this kind of suppressive shooting of heavy machine guns is besides the density of firepower. It is high and has a long range.

The range of a heavy machine gun can reach 800 meters or even 2,000 meters.

This kind of range far exceeds the infantry individual firearms at that time, so the heavy machine gun is very powerful and has almost become a weapon in defensive operations. A big killer.

If a unit does not have a heavy machine gun, it will be very difficult to defend against a group charge of the enemy, and the defense line will be easily broken through.

More importantly, Chu Yunfei had hidden the Maxim heavy machine gun very well before. Well, now that the fangs are exposed, there is one heavy machine gun every fifty meters on average. Such a dense arrangement is terrifying.

Even when the German army and the British army fought, the German army deployed one Maxim heavy machine gun on average every one hundred meters.

In Maxim Under the huge destructive power of the heavy machine gun, the entire battlefield was filled with the smell of blood. Japanese troops fell to the ground in pieces, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed into rivers.

It was like a human meat grinder.

The Japanese army collapsed directly.

A large number of efficient killings The Japanese army truly realized the huge power of this automatic-launching heavy machine gun.

Each of their regiments only had 6 Japanese-style Type 92 heavy machine guns.

In this era, only Shen Hao knew the power of heavy machine guns.

He also knew better The power of the heavy machine gun.

Before Maxim's death, Gatlin was a battlefield harvester, but the hand was a little slow.

As the saying goes, Gatlin saved lives and healed the wounded, and Maxim was the master of rejuvenation.

The two artifacts that slaughtered all over Europe.

But Maxim When it came out, it killed 6 million soldiers during World War I alone, so for the army that owned it, it was a great rejuvenation.

Even the British, who invented the Maxim heavy machine gun, only have two Marks per battalion in their army. It's not that the Qin heavy machine gun can't be built, but it feels like a waste. According to the traditional understanding, one bullet kills a person, and the Maxim, which shoots 600 rounds per minute, is a waste of bullets in their opinion.

For The emphasis on heavy machine guns is simply not enough.

Of course, it is not only the United Kingdom (afcb) that does not pay attention to it, other countries are similar, and Japan certainly does not pay too much attention to it. What really made the Maxim heavy machine gun the main force on the battlefield was the Battle of the Somme in World War I.

The Battle of the Somme was the largest battle in World War I.

It took place from June 24 to November 18, 1916.

The British and French allied forces fought to break through the German defenses and repel them After arriving at the French-German border, the battle was carried out in the Somme River area in northern France.

Both sides suffered a total of 1.3 million casualties. It was the most tragic positional battle in World War I, and it was also the first time in human history that tanks were put into actual combat.

The British adopted the"Mark I tank". (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because of its cruelty, it is called the"Hell of the Somme".

During the Battle of the Somme, the German-made Maxim heavy machine gun stole the show and became the creator of bloody storms. It was a brutal killer on the Somme battlefield.

Countless British and French troops fell under the muzzle of the Maxim heavy machine gun and became its victims.

MG08 German Maxim heavy machine gun. In World War I, the heavy machine gun dominated the land battlefield and was known as the most deterrent land warfare weapon.

It was also after this war that heavy machine guns became the center of the development of all armies.

In less than five minutes, an infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment of the Japanese army were completely submerged under Maxim's heavy machine guns.

Chu Yunfei not only deployed Maxim, but also deployed twenty units. The key was crossfire. This tactic was already ahead of its time.

In defensive wars in this era, the defense lines were always arranged in a straight line.

There is no concept of U snake shape yet.

Ten minutes later, the gunfire stopped. Mitsui Tomita, commander of the Japanese 18th Army Division, was shaking with his telescope.

He couldn't believe that the proud cavalry was actually defeated.

What's even more unbelievable is that the other party's firepower is so fierce.

Moreover, it allowed him to see the power of a heavy machine gun for the first time.

The opponent taught him a lesson today. It was not just the opponent's firepower that frightened him, but the opponent's tactics.

How did they escape the first round of bombardment?

And this idea of ​​crisscrossing heavy machine guns is really awesome.

As an army lieutenant general, Mitsui Tomita is not a loser, but a top student who graduated from the Army Military Academy.

But he had never seen these tactics before, and they were completely beyond the version he had learned.

From what he learned, heavy machine guns were always placed in front of the enemy's charge.

Facing this kind of heavy machine gun, you can take various tactical actions to avoid the heavy machine gun fire as much as possible.

With the development of infantry weapons and light artillery, frontally deployed heavy machine guns are themselves dangerous and can easily be knocked out by enemy infantry guns, mortars, grenades, and rifle grenades.

The way to restrain this is to use artillery bombardment, which Mitsui Tomita also did.

As a result, the other party taught him a lesson today. Facts have proved that the effect of this frontal deployment is not ideal.

The heavy machine gun on the front had limited lethality. It was completely different from today's cross arrangement. The bullets were denser and the firepower covered a wider area.

Therefore, this kind of cross-shaped arrangement is the king.

Boom!

The Japanese position was instantly covered by artillery fire.

Before Mitsui Tomita could recover, countless artillery fire attacked him.

Countless casualties in an instant

"General Mitsui Tomita, retreat quickly. The local firepower is too strong and we cannot defeat it."
