I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 403 Doom
Amur 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 good 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. It can be used as a tactical fulcrum whether it is offensive or defensive."

Ye Luoxin was elated.

"If we had this thing 20 years ago, we would definitely be able to take over the Black Sea outlet——"

Milyugin's faint regret, which happened more than 20 years ago, is still vivid in his mind.

The static display of the chariot is enough to make people happy, and the momentum after running is equally astonishing.

"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!"

Even if the technology of the chariot is not perfect yet, it is enough for a small life.

"If you use a 12mm machine gun to hit a tank, can it penetrate it?"

"Oh, whether it's a 12mm machine gun or a tank, only we have it!"

The bullets of the 12mm large-caliber machine gun are as thick as carrots. They basically smash human tissue into pieces. Ordinary bunkers have no effect. 20cm thick reinforced concrete can be penetrated with a single shot.

The speed of 10 kilometers per hour is not very fast, and it is enough to cooperate with the infantry advancement.

Vasily took the initiative. The production of tanks was limited, so you would make money if you grabbed them.

Andre didn't give in.

Vasily drew inferences from one example.

Kuklev was surprised that George was a little less radical than George.

"Wouldn't it be handed over to the military for further testing?"

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.

George also wanted to further improve it, but time did not wait for us.

Vasily was furious.

George told Kuklev that the bonus would be indispensable.

Kuklev was full of confidence.

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 is not worried about this problem.

"Those who have lost the confrontation for two consecutive years have no right to make demands!"

"The Talisman Master is the most senior unit in Amur. The chariot should be equipped with the Talisman Master first."

"As a commander, that's not an appropriate excuse."

Andre was calm and relaxed.

After the expansion of the army this year, Runev, the commander of the Yuriev Division who was just 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 could give Yu Shi more support for the sake of the name "Yuriev".

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 cannot be used by samurai at all.

But there is a contingency in everything.

What if George is kind enough?

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 drills 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 do we say if we win?"

Runev went for it.

"You're dreaming!"

The successor 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.

In order 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, a machine gun bunker is enough. 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 tank will completely change the shape of warfare.

George was 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 4, 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 Japan's third fleet.

As a result, 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 .

Makarov's fleet only had one battleship, the "Petropavlovsk", which was unable to compete with the Japanese.

Makarov then ordered the fleet to return.

When other warships entered Port Arthur, nothing unexpected happened.

The "Petropavlovsk" has a displacement of 11500 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 moment.

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. In just two minutes, the "Petropavlovsk" sank to the bottom of the sea. Makarov and 649 officers and men were killed along with the ship.
