Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality
Chapter 17 New Artillery Commander (Second Update)
The battle was over, a mediocre battle. After the commander of one side sent away all the steam spiders, the line infantry and the governor mecha were re-arranged to destroy the charging mechanical soldiers.
It was as simple as the first chapter of the battle in the game.
It was not until after the war that Ji Lin knew that the sneak attack troops had only a thousand people. In this situation of line shooting, no matter how high the training level was, everyone could kill humans with one shot. In a battle without any tactics, the side with more numbers could easily gain an overwhelming advantage.
Ji Lin walked past the wreckage of a steam spider that had fallen to the ground.
Its body was full of broken circular holes, and the dense barrage had torn its frontal armor to pieces. The dense bullet storm tore open the armor plate in front of it and embedded into the internal gear transmission. Multiple musketeer echelons could form multiple rounds of barrages by firing at the same time.
Use quantity to make up for the disadvantage of individual firepower?
It's amazing... exciting.
Ji Lin suddenly understood why this kind of linear infantry marching scene appeared in this copy.
If the skirmish line was deployed, it would be impossible to knock down these steam machines without overwhelming firepower from the volley. Infantry did not have specialized anti-armor rocket launchers and anti-tank guns until the industrial age.
The effect of deploying a scattered line to block the iron cavalry such as the steam spider is extremely poor. As long as you rush into the front line, you can start a massacre. The correct solution is to concentrate superior firepower to annihilate.
In this world, people can only concentrate soldiers with large-caliber rifles in an array to launch multiple rounds of volleys at the charging steam machinery to paralyze or even destroy the target. There is no towed anti-tank artillery for the time being, but the two revolver artillery on the Governor's mecha are somewhat similar.
The poor air tightness leads to poor range and accuracy, but it is still a 120mm artillery anyway.
It's really strange. Obviously, there is no ability to manufacture artillery, but why is it decentralized? The only artillery in the entire army is on the Governor's mecha.
If direct-fire artillery is assigned to infantry, it can only effectively fight against steam spiders and mechanical soldiers...
Time goes forward, Ji Lin's troops approach the steam mortar. This is a choice of their own. I am quite curious about the appearance of the steam mortar. When I participated in the Steam and Steel dungeon in my previous life, I died without even seeing this kind of artillery. Later, because this dungeon was too difficult and it was a waste of resources, I never tried it again.
The steam artillery is located further forward than I thought. The high-throw trajectory can ignore the rugged terrain and directly hit the target. They are hidden behind a hillside on the marching road, more than 500 meters away from the marching team.
Across the hillside, we saw a large number of mechanical soldiers fighting with steam spiders. They all maintained their appearance before death. The remaining steam spiders were also scrapped here, and the Governor's mecha was parked next to the hillside.
The figure of the steam mortar finally appeared in our sight, which was a little different from what we expected.
The steam artillery relies on legs and is a normal crawler.
A large, fat, short and thick gun barrel is inserted into a six-wheeled crawler. The crawler is as rough as the steam spider and the mechanical soldiers, with a large number of parts exposed. A steam engine with a thick brass pipe is hung at the tail to provide power for the entire steam artillery. Thank God, we finally saw normal wheels appear.
There are gear-driven lifting mechanisms on both sides of the barrel. As long as the steam engine is started, the angle of the barrel can be controlled at any time.
The figure wearing the officer's cap also saw me and waved me over.
The commander, who had planned to let me clean up the battlefield after seeing my excellent combat performance, was stunned by my voice, and then whispered with the officers for a while.
"Sir! I graduated from the artillery major!"
This is a lie.
But the experience gained from thousands of actual combats is far richer than that of people with professional training.
The use of artillery is not wrong, and the attack mode of mortars is very similar to this mortar.
But I must quickly get rid of the status of a good brother who fills the line and strive for a better position for myself. It is difficult to get ahead if I keep filling the line. I bet that this team does not have an accompanying artillery commander. After losing the steam spider, this batch of steam artillery must be activated immediately, and it is likely that an artillery commander will be needed.
"Oh, I've seen you. You're the sergeant who reacts very quickly."
The commander looked at him, thought for a moment, nodded, and then sighed.
"Artillery is an excellent subject, but there are very few artillery graduates every year."
Looking at Ji Lin's young and resolute face and warm eyes, and thinking of Ji Lin's quick reaction when he was bombarded, such an outstanding officer should be a supervisor here. The commander suddenly got the sad story of a poor boy who enrolled in the artillery subject and was targeted and fell into the front-line infantry team without power, and he couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Yes, sir! I have completed the basic artillery course!"
No matter what kind of plot the commander had imagined in his mind, Ji Lin could only stand there, tighten his face, and try his best to shout.
"Try it."
The commander pointed to a steam mortar that looked intact, and the officers around him made way for it.
Soon, the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield cleared the spoils near the wreckage of the mechanical soldier, leaving a steel skeleton standing in the pile of flesh.
That was Ji Lin's target.
The steam mortar, which originally used mechanical soldiers to load ammunition, now lost all its subordinate units, and could only use musketeers to resist the medicine packs and projectiles for loading, and the speed dropped significantly.
The officers stood behind him and saw Jilin's spine was chilling and he was sweating. He was flipping through the corpse on the ground to find his notebook, which was the corpse of the enemy artillery commander.
The charge packs and range data are recorded in the notebook. As for distance measurement, the experienced artillery commander can estimate the approximate distance at first glance. It's like a general who saw at a glance that when he went to drink coffee, a machine gun in the cafe could block the entire street.
Loading something like this is complicated, but the mortar ammunition, which is close to a caliber of 300 millimeters, requires two or three soldiers to lift it together before it can be inserted.
놛Choose three real 뀞cannonballs.
Although the steam mortar suffered little damage, the shells were scattered everywhere.
The dull bombardment sounded, echoed, and sounded three times.
The firing range is 450 meters, and one of three rounds hits the target. The farthest shell has a landing point difference of 10 meters. The target will be completely destroyed by the one that hits.
"It seems that the Kingdom Military Academy can educate excellent artillerymen."
For a long time, the commander and the officer corps discussed and made a sound of approval.
It's over.
Although 뀞ri thought so, Ji Lin still tried his best to make a serious expression.
"Where's your name?"
"Second Lieutenant Ji Lin of the Musket Regiment!"
"Very good, Second Lieutenant Ji Lin, now you are the temporary artillery commander."
The commander patted 놛놅 on the shoulder with an old-fashioned expression, even though 놛 was much older than Ji Lin.
Nobles, even without rich combat experience, can still sit in the command position. They have not played any role in the previous battles, and their tactics are F2A.
This may be gold plating for 놛.
From the external structure, there is no obvious damage to the barrels and loaders of these steam mortars. Most of the damage is concentrated on the steam engine used to provide power. This level of damage only requires the replacement of the steam engine and gear transmission mechanism. That’s it.
The soldiers were dragging a half-blooded human figure away from the steam mortar. Such bloody figures were everywhere. This was the tragic scene after being sprayed with boiling water and steam by the steam spider.
Before he died, he wanted to blow up the steam tank, but was sprayed to death by a puff of high-temperature steam from the steam spider.
"How many can you repair?"
"Sir, if there are some difficulties, I can guarantee it."
I can guarantee that these steam mortar cannons appear to have no damage and are still somewhat functional. The specific situation requires detailed analysis.
"Go, lead a few infantry teams, and then bring the mechanics over."
The commander nodded, said something to the adjutant beside him, and then turned to give instructions to Ji Lin.
"Before we fell, I saw these steam cannons moving. It was fate."
