Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

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

The recoil generated when the gun fires is directly canceled out. This allows the barrel to displace the gun after firing, and the gunner can continue to fire.

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

In another time and space, it was originally the Gauls who invented the world’s first barreled retracted gun a few years later, the famous ‘Miss 75′, that is, the M1897 75mm field gun.

In the First World War, the Gaul 75mm field guns also shone brightly.

However, the Gauls believed so much in the strength of the 75 mm field gun that they were equipped with too many such guns, but not many large-caliber heavy guns of larger caliber and longer range. 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 artillery first and equip his own troops.

Those 105-mm light howitzers, and even the 155-mm heavy howitzers equipped with heavy artillery brigades, all used this device.

This also made the artillery under Grand Duke Mikhail capable of three or even five guns of others. With the same number of guns, Grand Duke Mikhail’s firepower was more powerful. In future wars, we will naturally be able to take advantage of even greater advantages.

“Fire!”

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

As soon as these guns fired, they almost immediately shocked Grand Duke Nicholas and others.

“Boom! Rumble! ”

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

Soon, artillery positions were covered with smoke and fire.

The smile on Grand Duke Nicholas’ face has faded. 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, and the number is much more than ours!” Grand Duke Agleni had a serious expression.

“Not only are there more than us, but even the caliber is larger than our artillery!” Admiral Mirolov also said.

Grand Duke Nicholas nodded: “It seems that we underestimated Mikhail.” Before His Majesty Alexander died, he gave him so much inheritance that he used it to buy artillery from other countries. ”

Before his death, Alexander III gave Grand Duke Mikhail a large fortune. This is well known to the entire Russian Empire. Grand Duke Nicholas 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 Agrini and Admiral Mirolov nodded repeatedly.

“Humph! If he thinks that this will defeat us, it is simply fanciful. Wars are never won by the side with more artillery. In the end, it is still up to people. We have the most elite guards in the entire empire. In terms of the number of troops, it is also much more than him. Therefore, Mikhail can definitely not be our opponent! Grand Duke Nicholas emphasized confidently.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Grand Duke Agleni and Admiral Mirolov echoed.

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

Using the advantages of the caliber and rate of fire of the artillery, it almost pressed the artillery of Grand Duke Nicholas.

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

After less than half an hour, Grand Duke Nicholas’ artillery had already suffered heavy losses.

This forced Archduke Nicholas to order the artillery to withdraw from the battle. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not take much time for these artillerymen to be completely destroyed.

Fire preparations, though, ended in failure. However, Grand Duke Nicholas did not lose confidence because of this, but still looked like he had a chance to win.

Because, the victory of the Russian Imperial Army on the battlefield was never because of artillery. But because of people, they have a lot of cannon fodder. Rely on these cannon fodder to consume the enemy’s effective strength and finally win.

“Order the infantry to immediately enter the battle. Let the troops of the Western Military District and the Northern Military District attack! Let that little boy Mikhail know how the war is fought! Grand Duke Nicholas ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Grand Duke Agleni and Admiral Mirolaf both answered.

Soon, the army under Grand Duke Nicholas attacked.

The Western Military District and the Northern Military District were transferred from as many as 200,000 troops. With the exception of artillery and cavalry, the rest of the infantry went on the offensive.

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

The gray military uniforms, like the tide, rushed towards the defensive line.

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

“Order the front-line troops to implement the second combat plan!”
