Beiyang 1917

At this time, the heavy machine gun battalion rushing to the front had to change from a dense formation to a scattered formation under the interception of the artillery fire from the second white guard position.

这时代的山炮因为弹道低伸，一般都是直瞄she击，所以即使勒热夫斯基的五个重机枪营加快了马车奔驰的速度，但是对面1第二道防线上白卫军三个山炮连18门76mm口径的山炮依然在从5公里到3公里半这段1500米的路程中打掉了差不多五分之一的红军的马拉重机枪。

Under the intensive and accurate artillery fire of the White Guards, the attacking Soviet Red Army horse-drawn heavy machine gun battalion was not a vegetarian. They gradually spread out to both sides during the run. When they set off, they were in a row of one kilometer, and when they rushed to 2500 meters, she When they hit the firing position, the remaining less than a hundred carriages had been scattered on a three-kilometer-wide platoon. Even so, the density was the same as a 30-meter Maxim heavy machine gun.

On the Western Front of the European War, when the Germans used 240 German version of the Maxim mg08 heavy machine guns to meet the British army with a frontal impact of 40 kilometers, it was only a firepower density of 100 meters.

The horse-drawn machine guns rushed to the launching position and turned the front of the car. Nearly a hundred Russian 1910-caliber Maxims roared towards the White Guards positions on their respective carriages. The distance ranges from 2200 meters, but to effectively shoot a humanoid target 3500 meters away, it is far more difficult than threading a needle through the eye of a needle with your eyes closed, or in other words, you basically have to rely on blindfolding!

During the bloody battle in Lushun Fortress during the Japanese-Russian War, the Russian army put the Japanese attacking troops within 250 meters before firing!The dense firepower caused Nogi Xidian's meat-bullet charge to suffer a devastating blow.

The heavy machine gun shooting at such a long distance basically relies on firepower to cover the surface of the opponent's position, or to suppress the opponent with bullet rain. It is not because you are aiming accurately, but because of the bullet rain of 1 rounds per minute. Make your bullets cover that area, of course, the ones scattered 600 meters away are also open.

Finally, Lezhevsky, commanding from the rear, blew the horn to withdraw troops. The position of 2200 meters just entered the best direct shooting position to deal with the mountain artillery. In just a short while, the heavy machine gun battalion stopped and shot In vain, the rain of scattered bullets was sprinkled on the front line of the White Guards on the opposite side, and the results of the battle could not be seen at all, because the position seemed to be empty, and the opponent's 76mm mountain artillery was obviously hiding behind the defensive shield. He aimed at his horse-drawn machine gun like a turkey and beat him up.

My own heavy machine gun battalion hadn't knocked out half of the ammunition chain, and under the attack of the opponent's mountain artillery, more than a dozen horse-drawn machine guns that were not afraid of death were beaten to pieces by the opponent!

"Comrade Commander! Heavy machine gun losses are too great! Withdraw quickly!!" The political commissar of the army group beside Rzhevski couldn't help but stamped his feet and shouted!

The melodious sound of the bugle sounded from the position of the Fourth Army of the Soviet Russian Eastern Front. The remaining three multi-machine gun battalions ran back and dispersed further. The rain of bullets leaked out, and as the carriages ran more and more scattered, apart from the two carriages falling apart on the way back in a panic, the remaining more than 90 heavy machine guns finally ran back to the starting position. Sweating and out of breath.

Behind us are the whistles and hulas of the White Guards!Sergei Mikhainovich, the chief of staff of the White Guards who was in charge of commanding on the high ground, put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head and said to the adjutant beside him, "Inform the division commander that the enemy has retreated, but that Maxim shed like a splash It's like rain, but there is no opportunity for pursuit that the commander is looking forward to, so we have to wait for the opponent's next attack!"

Before the staff officer went to get the phone, the phone on the shelf rang first. Seeing that it was a direct line to the mysterious commander-in-chief of the campaign, Sergey went up to answer the phone without waiting for the staff officer.

"I'm Sergey, the chief of staff. The division commander is leading the cavalry brigade behind the highlands to take advantage of others... Yes... I didn't catch it this time... When the opponent's horse-drawn machine gun retreated, the muzzle happened to be facing backwards. ...That's right, rushing up can really become the target of the opponent...Ha...Thank you for your compliment...The mountain artillery company fired well, but the cannons are still a little short..."

Sergey blushed and looked excited. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces who had only met at the headquarters of the Ufa Church Battle came from the receiver. The voice of the king of China did not expect the Russian commander-in-chief of China to speak. Speaking so slickly, it is much better than my own three-legged cat's Chinese.

Of course, at this moment, Sergey has long forgotten the glorious history of being chased by an armored brigade in Ulan-Ude in early March. According to the king of the coalition commander-in-chief, everyone is now comrades and comrades-in-arms. Everything is history, only the present and the future have meaning.

"Mountain artillery, it's a small thing, there will be sooner or later! Sergey, the chief of staff artillery - you use it well, but be careful of the opponent's artillery fire. According to reconnaissance, the Fourth Army in front of you has only 5 troops and 10 artillery Company, you only have six artillery companies, and you may have a tough fight tomorrow, so you need to be flexible and timely adjust the artillery positions!" Wang Geng said with a smile on the phone.

The voice of the chief of staff Sergey came from the receiver: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, our division commander is here, and he has something to tell you!"

Then a gasping voice came from the receiver, which sounded to be the voice of the cavalry division commander and former enemy commander of the Southeast Group, Alexander Petrovich:

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I have an idea. The Soviet Red Army on the opposite side has suffered a lot today. I plan to take a cavalry brigade to attack at night. Do you approve?" Petrovic said to the young Chinese. The king dared not neglect in the slightest. I heard that the king of China looked very harmonious with a smile on his face, but his army was very strict. On the eastern side of the Ural Mountains, children would not dare to cry when they heard his name. His soldiers shot him. Soldiers who violate military orders are no softer than destroying guerrillas and saboteurs.

In the words Pepelyaev quietly reminded himself, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is the king of the entire Ural Mountains and the West Siberia Plain. Don't look at the majestic and aloof appearance of the consul Kolchak in front of us. In front of this young king of China, he had to nod and bow his head with a smile on his face.

Alexander Petrovich gulped down the cold water offered by the orderly Turkin, while waiting for the reply from the commander in chief of the campaign and the king of China in the receiver. He had only 5 Soviet Russian Fourth Army in front of him. Petrovic, who has an army of [-] and three lines of defense, is a bit unsatisfactory.

In his view, the Fourth Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army was his old enemy. At the beginning, in Orenburg, three divisions were used to sneak attack the Cossack cavalry division that surrounded him. Fortunately, the chief of staff, Sergey, managed to escape the team. However, all the pots and pots and family assets I had accumulated in the past few months were all lost. If I hadn’t gone to Ufa to get supplements from the all-Russian temporary government, and was reused by the cabinet prime minister, my life’s reputation would have been lost by the Soviet Union on the opposite side. The Russian Fourth Army has been swept away!

"Yeah, strengthen the vigilance, don't attack the opponent, and prevent the opponent from attacking us in the middle of the night... Yes... Yes... What? Good! Great! Now, Sergey, a staff officer with an artillery background, tomorrow. It will come in handy, yes... yes... don't worry... you can't miss it if you keep it!... yes yes... I won't be the first one... bullets have nothing to do with me... yes yes ! Got it all!"

Aleksandr Petrovich's eyes were bright, he put down the phone, turned around and thumped his chief of staff Sergey on the shoulder and shouted,

"Old man, the king of China praised us for fighting beautifully, saying that you are an excellent commander on the battlefield, and the artillery is especially good at using it. He promised to add a Japanese army's field artillery unit to our direction tomorrow, and we will directly command!"

"Field Artillery Regiment?!, the Japanese Army's Field Artillery Regiment has 36 75mm mountain cannons and 18 75mm field cannons. This is 54 cannons, equal to 9 artillery companies! It's developed now, look good, Wait until tomorrow to see me, Sergei Mikhainovich, an artillery genius, play to the fullest!"

"Old man! It seems that the commander-in-chief is afraid that we will suffer from the artillery fire tomorrow. We only have six artillery companies, and the opponent has at least ten artillery companies!" Alexander Petrovich was the first time he fought so confidently. The battle is simply what you think, and you will come.

"I'm afraid there are more than ten. I have suffered a loss this afternoon. Maybe the Fourth Army on the opposite side will strengthen its artillery companies from other armies tomorrow. I heard that the total number of artillery companies in the Southern Group of the Eastern Front Army on the opposite side has reached 33 companies! "The chief of staff, Sergei Mikhainovich, was thinking quickly, but he just didn't understand why the coalition forces bothered to fight the opponent since they had such a powerful air force.
