Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

The biggest difference between the tube gun and the rack gun is that a hydraulic reentry device is installed.

The recoil generated when the gun fires is directly canceled. This allows the barrel to fire without the phenomenon of gun displacement after firing, and the gunner can continue firing.

Therefore, the rate of fire of the barrel retreat gun is several times faster than that of the retreated gun.

In another time and space, it was originally the Gauls who would only invent the world's first barreled retreat gun a few years later, the famous 'Miss 75', that is, the M1897 75mm field gun.

In the First World War, another time and space, the 75mm field guns of the Gauls also shined.

It's just that the Gauls believed so much in the strength of the 75-mm field guns that they were equipped with too many of them, but not many large-caliber heavy guns with larger calibers and longer ranges. So much so that on the battlefield, it was crushed by the heavy artillery units of the Germans.

However, now Grand Duke Mikhail did not hesitate to develop this gun first and equip his own troops.

The 105mm light howitzers, and even the 155mm heavy howitzers equipped by the heavy artillery brigade, all used this device.

This also made the artillery under Grand Duke Mikhail one can withstand three or even five guns of others. With the same number of artillery, Grand Duke Mikhail had more powerful firepower. In future wars, it will naturally be possible to take greater advantage.

"Fire!"

After the artillery of Grand Duke Nikolai opened fire, the artillery of Grand Duke Mikhail also opened fire.

As soon as these guns opened fire, they almost immediately shocked Grand Duke Nikolai and others.

"Boom! Rumble! "

The sound of explosions continued to come, and it was clear that shells were constantly falling towards their artillery positions.

Soon, artillery positions were covered by smoke and fire.

The smile on Grand Duke Nikolai's face had disappeared. The whole person's face also became very ugly.

The artillery of Grand Duke Mikhail's troops gave him a different feeling.

"Your Excellency, the rebels seem to be equipped with a lot of artillery, much more than us!" Grand Duke Agrini had a serious expression.

"Not only are there more in number than ours, but even the caliber is larger than our artillery!" Admiral Miloraf also said.

Grand Duke Nikolai nodded: "It seems that we underestimated Mikhail." Before His Majesty Alexander's death, he gave him so much inheritance, which he used to buy artillery from other countries. "

Before Alexander III died, he gave Grand Duke Mikhail a large fortune. This was known to everyone throughout the Russian Empire. Grand Duke Nikolai naturally believed that Grand Duke Mikhail used the money to buy artillery and other weapons and equipment. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the troops to have such powerful artillery.

Grand Duke Agliny, and Admiral Miloraf both nodded repeatedly.

"Hmph! If he thinks that this will defeat us, it is simply whimsical. Wars are never won by the side with more artillery. In the end, it depends on people. We have the most elite Guards in the entire empire. In terms of the number of troops, there are also much more than him. So, Mikhail definitely cannot be our opponent! Grand Duke Nikolai emphasized confidently.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Both Grand Duke Aglinyi and Admiral Miloraf echoed.

In terms of artillery battles, the artillery of Grand Duke Mikhail soon gained a great upper hand.

Taking advantage of the caliber and rate of fire of the artillery, it almost pressed the artillery of Grand Duke Nicholas.

One after another, artillery positions were destroyed, a large number of artillery pieces were blown up, and those artillerymen were blown to pieces.

In less than half an hour, Grand Duke Nikolai's artillery had already suffered heavy losses.

This forced Grand Duke Nikolai to order the artillery to withdraw from the battle. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be long before all these artillerymen will be destroyed.

Fire preparations, though, ended in failure. However, Grand Duke Nikolai did not lose his confidence because of this, but still looked like he was in control.

Because the victory of the Tsarist Imperial Army on the battlefield was never because of artillery. Rather, because of people, they have a lot of cannon fodder. Rely on these cannon fodder to consume the enemy's living strength and eventually win.

"Order the infantry, immediately into battle. Let the troops of the Western and Northern Military Districts go on the offensive! Let that little cub of Mikhail know how the battle was fought! Archduke Nikolai ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Both Grand Duke Agleni and Admiral Miloraf replied.

Soon, the army under Grand Duke Nicholas attacked.

As many as 200,000 troops were transferred from the Western and Northern Military Regions. With the exception of artillery and cavalry, the rest of the infantry was thrown into the offensive.

More than 180,000 people launched a full-line attack directly against the defensive positions of the troops under Grand Duke Mikhail.

The gray military uniform, like a tide, rushed towards the defense line.

Grand Duke Mikhail naturally saw all this through the telescope. However, there was no intersecting expression on his face.

"Order the front-line troops to implement the No. 2 operational plan!"
