Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

"Good...stop! Stop! Andrei Ivanovic! I let you stop! Are you deaf! Stop! Stop it again, I will smash your head!!"

The platoon leader with a leather cap smashed the side armor with the hammer he carried, and the metal with brown stripes and camouflage paint on the white background made the sound of an iron shop. Finally, he noticed that the captain hurriedly hurriedly He kicked the driver's shoulder, and the driver who understood it took out a hammer that was not attached to his lower back and hit it with the gear lever. Dang Dang Dang! The steel giant that had finished the shift made a sharp metal friction sound and stopped slowly.

The platoon leader of the chariot climbed the steel frame ladder riveted to the outside of the car body and climbed to the top of the chariot. The access hatch that was opened was a curse. It upheld the long history of the Principality’s army. It's a vulgar language that can't even be heard in the country pub. Finally, the adults who came to watch were far enough away, otherwise the longest platoon would have to have a meal.

Regardless of how the platoon leader repaired his men, the grown-ups gathered around and looked excited, commenting on the steel giants who finally reached the front line after all the hardships and dangers.

"What should I say... crawler toilet?"

"Self-propelled latrine?"

"Diving toilet?"

"Gentlemen, that is a reliable comrade."

The Brucelov cavalry lieutenant interrupted the discussion of his colleagues, and the lieutenant general almost couldn't hold back, knocking at the red deer heads who didn't know what to do. What latrines, toilets, toilets, and what are these inferior embryos thinking about every day? Will they only judge the value of things from the outside? No wonder this battle is not over yet!

In fact, His Excellency Brusilov was too harsh on his colleagues, although they are indeed a group of bureaucrats who only judge the value of things from the appearance. From the personal life resume, it is indeed a pile of inferior embryos and bipedal walks. Self-propelled artillery. But their assessment of the cavalry lieutenant general's empire's heavy tanks was not biased or wrong.

No matter who evaluates it, it is a pile of tall, wide tracked and heavy armor, installed a 152 ㎜ heavy howitzer ... walking latrine.

Seeing this, friends who chanted "KV-2" and "152 Truth" please stop for a moment. This is not the classic red empire heavy tank, but designed by Vasily Dmitriyevich Mendeleev engineers. It is almost as heavy as the mouse-type super heavy tank, and the armor thickness is almost the same. The firepower is not much more than that... giant all-metal crawler latrine.

Any engineer from a non-principal country will point out that this huge monster is only suitable for two kinds of places-the engineer's drawing board, the military theme painter's canvas. If you have to join the third place, you can only count on the museum. Outside these three places, there is no such large space for survival.

This is not prejudice or discrimination, but a simple fact.

The thinking of the Principality, especially the thinking of the technical personnel of the Principality, always looks different. Considering their living environment, this makes people feel relieved. The ice and snow environment is melancholic, but it is also brewing a surging passion that is constantly accumulating and waiting to erupt. So crazy imagination has always been an indispensable element of various races in the Principality-especially the bear race. The current era is a special period in which science and technology continue to advance and countries are actively preparing for war secretly. When the "crazy imagination" and the "demand of military technological progress" collide with each other, what kind of sparks will be produced? The Principality engineer's answer to this question is the Mendeleev ultra-heavy tank, which is used to hack the Principality's army. , All the way through the swamps, quagmire, bushes, forests, trenches, positions, enemy soldiers of the wilderness of the border... crushed everything in front of you until you came to the "land cruiser" under the city of Alfheim.

The military thought of the Principality is actually very simple. They realized that in the process of chasing the Imperial Army, they were destined to follow the others by copying the development model of the Imperial Army. In order to survive the next war, and even win the war, it is necessary to make some unusual attempts to overtake the imperial army in a "unusual way". The "land cruiser" project is one of the fruits of this attempt.

Move the battleship at sea to land-this is the origin of the tank. Trying to build a huge super-heavy tank is not the originality of the Principality. Using a mobile armored vehicle with good protection and multiple firepower to crush enemy soldiers and defense systems has always been the goal of military and engineers in various countries. In the early days, the designers of Imperial chariots, who were famous for their reason and realism, were also very obsessed with the design of ultra-heavy chariots and multi-turrets. There was even a real "land cruiser" such as P-1000. The ideas in the minds of engineers in the Principality are actually the same as those of their foreign counterparts, except that their special aesthetics and imagination made them come up with something more...special, nothing more.

The Mendeleev chariot is called a chariot. From its design characteristics and use positioning, it is more appropriate to call it a self-propelled artillery or assault gun. This tank has a fixed combat room design, with a total length of 11.8 meters, a width of 3.4 meters, and a height of 3.3 meters. It looks like a boxy black Leba. It is like a winter forest camouflage paint. A large field toilet. The front armor is 120㎜ thick, and the side and rear armor are all 100㎜. A navy-made long body tube 152㎜ naval gun is installed in front of the tank. A tall rotating machine gun tower is installed on the top of the hull, equipped with three machine guns. Defend against enemy infantry close to the tank.

Obviously, the main goal of this weapon is not to be used as a spearhead of armored assault clusters. Its jaw-dropping weight (173.2 tons, 188 tons in chase-mouse style), weak power (250-horsepower motor), advanced concept but problematic liquid-gas suspension, and huge staffing (except for the standard captain) , The driver, the gunner, the loader, the machine gun operator, in addition to the technicians and magicians responsible for vehicle maintenance and repairs, a Mendeleev chariot can be packed up to half a row)-these qualities determine this Combat vehicles cannot be used for any rapid breakthrough missions. However, its heavy armor and heavy artillery configuration gave it the ability to act as a "positional breakthrough tank" in addition to self-propelled artillery, which is what the Principality Army urgently needs.

"Heavy artillery, infantry commandos, heavy chariots-these will be reliable comrades who have a breakthrough for our army. As long as there is no work to rely on, the Lapland rats will stop here."

Lieutenant General Brusilov looked up at the majestic giant chariot, with an intoxicated and contented expression.

It's no wonder that this cold-faced general has such rare feelings. As an advocate and practitioner of military reform and equipment development in the Principality, the equipment and configuration in front of him are still quite far from his ideal form. Since then, the performance of the Duchy has been hardly satisfactory. But in the face of the ideal composition step by step close to reality, anyone will have a strong sense of accomplishment and expectations, and a little abnormality is also within the allowable range.

"We also need more and better chariots. They don't have to have the same superior performance as the imperial chariots, but the performance can be used, easy to produce, and the huge number and impact are enough to destroy all enemies!"

The Cavalry Lieutenant touched the cold steel, showing a loving expression on his face, as if holding the baby's mother.

"When the military reform is completed, even the empire will tremble in front of our army's rolling steel torrent."

Lieutenant General Brusilov was never an exaggerated person and had no history of delusions. What is being said at this moment is not a trance in a trance state. Every sentence he said has its basis.

After seeing the Alfheim Defence Force knock down Charlemagne's revolving door in one fell swoop, military experts from all countries regarded imperial blitz as a master rule of mobile combat in the Corps. Almost all countries are developing mechanized troops according to their own national conditions, formulating relevant doctrines, reforming systems, and researching and developing required equipment. The Principality is no exception, and its academic achievements are the large-depth assault tactics that the Lieutenant General Brucelov Cavalry is gradually exploring and perfecting.

Since all countries in the world use the Imperial Army as a template, many things can be found from the theory of mechanized combat that countries are studying and perfecting. The Principality Army’s theory of large-depth warfare is to some extent an enhanced version of the Principality of Blitzkrieg, that is, relying on the huge size of the Principality Army, based on endless human resources and equipment, to launch a large-scale continuous advancement of the enemy army Blitz.

Unlike the Alfheim Defence Force, which is constrained by the size of the army and its reserve personnel, it can only carry out one or two battles and tactical-scale blitz through detailed planning and support. According to the concept of Lieutenant General Brusilov Cavalry, the Principality Army will invest five to six times the armor strength of the Imperial Army battle group at a time. Then divide these armored forces into several clusters, each of which has a combat power comparable to or even greater than that of the main force of the Imperial Army, and is put into battle in sequence.

The first cluster is used to break through the defense line. When the breakthrough is opened, it will no longer advance. It cooperates with the infantry troops to consolidate the gap and prevent the enemy from counterattack to re-block the breakthrough. The second cluster quickly passed through the breach, assaulted the second line of defense, and then repeated the work of the first cluster, followed by the third, fourth, fifth... until the strategic reserve team.

In theory, continuous armored assault waves will completely disrupt or even destroy the enemy's command and logistics system, causing the enemy to lose unified command and supplies throughout the theater. Eventually it was divided and surrounded by the Principality Army, which had an absolute military advantage ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, completely wiped out.

The above is a rough conceptual outline. In the actual operation process, there are a lot of problems that need to be solved, including communication command, coordination of various arms, air-ground coordination, and mutual coordination of rifles. More importantly, the current Principality Army lacks the strength and material conditions to use this tactic. However, His Excellency Brusilov believed that as long as the war was won, the economy of the Principality would be on track, and subsequent military reforms would also enter the fast lane.

When I think of a bright future, what's wrong with a little excitement?

Officers, big and small, all knew this, and they were very knowledgeable. No one wants to jump out at this time to do nothing stupid.

However, their opponent, the "undefeated magician" from the Empire, did not think so.

As a signal soldier handed over a briefing to Lieutenant General Brusilov's cavalry, the original rejoicing expression quickly faded from the face of this lord, and a gloomy atmosphere full of danger quickly appeared on his face. Accumulation and precipitation eventually erupted like a volcano.

"What are those navy idiots doing?! Are they all sleeping!!"

Accompanied by indignant scolding, the crumpled newsletter was heavily smashed on the hard frozen ground. The adjutant on the side picked up the paper ball suspiciously, and surrounded by a group of equally confused officers, the adjutant opened the paper ball and whispered. Came out.

"At 8:13 am today, several transfer sites were raided by the Lapland Army floating fleet. Nearly half of the heavy artillery shells that arrived for transfer yesterday were destroyed. The "automatic propulsion artillery" was being unloaded. Seventy percent of the accessories are damaged, and the rest are still in rescue—"

After a few seconds, the princely army officer’s verbal abuse of the naval system filled the light gray sky of Lapland.
