Chapter 359 German Special Envoy (7)

In fact, the two guns did not take a long time, only 1 minute, and the shells fired were 31 and 33 respectively. Of course, this was a practice of shooting. In the formal war, there would definitely be a discount, which was estimated to be around 2o/minute. However, such shooting was quite considerable. Moreover, the overseas Chinese artillery who used these two guns now are obviously not as familiar with the French 1897 75mm field gun operation operation, so if it were French soldiers, the shooting would definitely increase.

Wadesi estimated that if it were French artillery, it would be able to reach 35-4o/minute during normal practice, and it would not be impossible to hit 25-3o/minute on the battlefield. So Wadesi immediately came to Heinrich's ear and muttered in a low voice.

After hearing Wadesi's words, Heinrich turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Political Commissar Qin, Germany hopes to buy these two cannons. I wonder if you are willing to sell them, what are the conditions required?"

Of course he could guess that overseas Chinese showed these two cannons, which naturally increased bargaining chips for the talks between the two sides. Although Heinrich was not the 6th Army and did not know the importance of these two cannons to the German 6th Army, he still trusted Wadesi's qualifications and vision. After all, Wadesi was the successor of Old Moltke and a person who had served as the chief of German staff. Therefore, he simply proposed to Qin Zheng directly, that is, you can offer the price, Germany wants these two cannons.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Prince, we can negotiate. As long as we reach a comprehensive cooperation agreement, everything will be easy to negotiate. And I suggest you don't worry, maybe there are things that will interest you next."

Heinrich heard this and it seemed that overseas Chinese would still have to show themselves the weapons of their 6th Army. Since they took out the French 1897 Type 75mm field gun as soon as they made a move, the display would definitely not be bad later. Therefore, Heinrich was also quite curious and didn't know what kind of weapons overseas Chinese would show him. So Heinrich nodded and said, "Okay, we hope that you can bring us another surprise."

As the signal flag on the training ground shaking, the soldiers operating the two cannons immediately stood in front of the cannons. Three groups of soldiers ran out of the room below the viewing platform. Each group of three people, the Germans could see clearly that in each group, there was a soldier carrying a gun-shaped object, one thick and two thin, with a length of between one meter and one meter five.

The soldiers from three groups ran to the front of the artillery and stood about twenty-five meters apart. They saluted a military salute to the viewing platform. Qin Zheng also stood up and gave a salute. The soldiers turned around. First, one soldier in each group took a triangle bracket from behind and put it on the ground. The soldiers carrying the gun barrel took off the gun barrel and put it on the tripod. Another soldier also took some accessories from him, some installed on the gun barrel, some installed on the bracket, and some placed on the ground.

It took only about one minute to complete the three simple cannons with a 45-degree angle were assembled in this way. At this time, there were six soldiers, two people carrying a box in groups and putting it behind the three cannons. After opening it, they were filled with shells.

The Germans on the viewing platform then understood what was going on and they were talking about it. Wadesi and Falkenheis exchanged glances with each other, and then turned their eyes to the training ground.

At this time, as the signal flag shook again, a soldier took out a shell from the box and stuffed it into the barrel from the muzzle. Another soldier squatting on the left side of the gun hit the bottom of the fire. He heard three "boom boom" sounds, and thick smoke came out of the three guns, and three thick smoke immediately rose in the target area in the distance, but it was obviously two near and one far away. The bombardment distance of the two thinner cannons was about 3-4 kilometers, while the thick one hit about 5-6 kilometers.

The soldiers who operated these three artillery guns had not stopped yet. They continued to fill the shells from the muzzle and then fired them. All three artillery guns fired ten shells in one breath. Although Wadesi did not pinch the watch this time, it felt like it should be less than a minute.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "This is called a mortar. Its caliber ranges from 6o mm to 12o mm caliber, and its range ranges from 1ooo meters to 7ooo. Generally speaking, the 6o-8o mm caliber is the platoon-company-level firepower, while the 1oo-12o mm caliber is the battalion-level firepower. According to our organization, a mortar squad has eight soldiers. However, generally speaking, because this kind of artillery can be disassembled and assembled, 3-5 soldiers can carry a mortar to follow the 6th Army to conduct mobile operations. Although its power is lacking, it is better because it is light and flexible, easy to carry, and the ballistic is curved. As long as it is not fortifications such as fortresses, like ordinary trenches and bunkers can jump directly over."

Wadesey nodded. Of course he understood what Qin Zheng meant. This kind of mortar was simply a weapon tailor-made for "advocating the principle of offensive", because the maneuverability of this kind of mortar is much stronger than that of the French Type 1897 75mm field gun. It is impossible to equip each 6th Army squad with such a mortar, which will greatly strengthen the firepower of the German 6th Army without affecting the maneuverability of the 6th Army.

At this time, the soldiers using the mortar had retreated to the back of the mortar and stood up, and three groups of soldiers came up. This time, there were three people in each group. One soldier was carrying a gun that was significantly larger than an ordinary rifle, the other soldier was carrying a box, and the other was holding something because it was too far away to see clearly.

These three groups of soldiers came to the mortar, and the soldiers carrying guns and boxes were separated from each other. Another soldier put up the things in his hands on the ground. Only then did everyone see clearly that it was also a tripod, and then they put the gun on the tripod, while the other soldier pulled out the bullet link from the box and put it on the gun. At this time, everyone also understood that these were three machine guns.

Wadesi looked left and right, and the other Germans looked puzzled, so machine guns were not a new weapon in this era. The German 6th Army equipped with a large number of Maxim machine guns, while France was equipped with the Hakikas machine gun, which was also the two most famous machine guns of this era. However, the first two weapons displayed by overseas Chinese, which were mortars, brought a lot of surprises to Wadesi. Therefore, the third weapon displayed by overseas Chinese cannot be ordinary, so Wadesi is patient and see what is novel about the third weapon of overseas Chinese.

On the training ground, after the soldiers set up the machine gun, they immediately opened fire and shot out three flames. However, in the eyes of the Germans, this was nothing surprising, because they were used to the rain of bullets shot by machine guns.

But after about 30 seconds of shooting, all three machine guns were waiting. The soldiers who operated the machine gun shooting stood up from the machine gun seat and picked up the machine gun from the tripod. The soldiers holding the ammunition box also stood up and carried the ammunition box. The two soldiers advanced side by side, continuing to fire while walking, and walked forward 5,60 meters.

On the viewing platform, the generals of the six army, including Wadesi, Falkenheis, Ger, Schwartzhoff, and other six army soldiers widened their eyes and stared at the soldiers who were advancing while shooting on the training ground. They also understood what Qin Zheng was going to show?

The weight of the Maxim machine gun is 27.2 kilograms, with a total weight of 62 kilograms, while the Haqikash machine gun is slightly lighter, with a total weight of 24.4 kilograms, with a total weight of 46.8 kilograms. Generally speaking, the Maxim machine gun will be installed on a dedicated machine gun vehicle. When using the gun rack mode, four soldiers need to be lifted together to follow the 6th Army to fight together. The Haqikash machine gun is a common gun rack mode, but generally three or four soldiers are required to be lifted. One person can move the gun body, but it is absolutely impossible to carry the machine gun while walking like the Chinese overseas, holding the machine gun.

The machine gun displayed by the traveler to Germany was actually a Type 86 coaxial machine gun installed on two-type O5 tanks. The Mights car also equipped with this type of machine gun, but sometimes it will be replaced with a Type 89 heavy machine gun in order to strengthen fire suppression. The Type 86 coaxial machine gun is a pkm 7.62mm universal machine gun designed by the former Soviet gun master Kashnikov in the old time and space. The body weight is only 8.9 kilograms, so it can be shot by a single person. However, the Type 86 coaxial machine gun does not have a tripod, so the tripod used here is a tripod of the Type 89 heavy machine gun.

The Germans of course understand that what overseas Chinese still show themselves is the advantages of combining firepower and maneuverability. But it can also be imagined that on the battlefield, a single-person machine gun will be used to improve the firepower of their army. In fact, European countries are now developing light machine guns, which not only strengthens the firepower of the 6th Army, but also strengthens the mobility of the 6th Army. It seems that overseas Chinese have achieved results and are undoubtedly ahead of European countries.

Although the 6th Army weapons displayed to Germany by overseas Chinese are not as strategic as those of the three British ships, they can give the German navy a qualitative leap, because relying solely on these three weapons is not enough to give the German army an overwhelming advantage in Europe, if Germany obtains the technology of these three weapons and assembles the troops on a large scale, it can still greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the German 6th Army and widen the gap between the German 6th Army and France and Russia. Therefore, these three weapons are still of great value to Germany. In addition, if Germany's hostile forces, such as France's technology to obtain the last two weapons, will pose a huge threat to Germany.

However, since overseas Chinese display these weapons, they undoubtedly mean that they can be transferred to Germany, and it is only possible to see that Germany can afford the price.
