Chapter 1118 Mercenaries (4)(2/2)
The chariot rushed out of the camp in a fighting attitude and rushed to the battlefield.
…
There is a huge airship floating above Iron Ore County.
Many generals from the military observation group took airships to observe the largest march of mechanical troops in the history of Europe.
General Qi Long of the State of Wu said with a trembling voice: "A large killing weapon like a chariot cannot be balanced in plain areas.
This reminds me of ancient cavalry.
Ancient cavalry was divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry.
The heavy cavalry charged into the formation, while the light cavalry harassed the enemy.
Chariots combine the advantages of heavy cavalry and light cavalry.
He can not only charge into the formation with his powerful defense and firepower, but also rely on the artillery he carries to harass the enemy.
The Rui army had been attacking wantonly for the past three days, and the Shu army was simply exhausted and could not form an effective defense method.
The current situation of the Shu army is similar to that of the ancient Song Dynasty.
Now we can still rely on our superior strength to gradually defend key areas.
Swedish army mechanics kept trying to harass everyone.
Once the Shu army reveals a flaw, it will definitely be waiting for a fatal blow from the Swiss army."
General Lu Kun of Chu frowned and said: "The Rui army only dispatched a few thousand mechanics, and they were able to overwhelm the Shu army of tens of thousands.
With the advancement of industry, the performance of combat vehicles is improving too fast.
Chariots have gradually shown their ability to dominate the battlefield.
From now on, when evaluating a country's military strength, tanks will be an extremely important part."
Imperial General Niu Feng agreed: "General Lu is usually taciturn, but his eyes are far-reaching.
Chariots were just big toys before. This was because the space of the chariot was limited, and such a large engine could not provide sufficient power to drive the chariot.
This resulted in the chariots at that time traveling only slightly faster than humans, and their practicality was greatly reduced.
Nowadays, with the development of the automobile industry, the performance of diesel engines is improving rapidly.
If a chariot has sufficient power, it can exert great strength.
The Swiss army's mechanics' operation progressed extremely quickly.
The Shu army has just received the news that the Swiss army has arrived at the city. This is the essence of blitzkrieg.
To the army, the chariot is the battle fleet and the navy.
In the future, countries without high-performance tanks will have only second-rate armies."
The evaluation of the imperial general Disulfide Army immediately shocked the generals on the airship.
They did not expect that the importance of tanks in the Imperial Royal Army was so high.
Some of the generals from the vassal states were sweating slightly on their heads.
Their country chose to bet on artillery rather than tanks when it came to army equipment.
Imperial General Wang Shangfu was holding a high-powered telescope and observing the battlefield below.
The mechanized army marches too fast, and it is impossible to understand the full picture by observing it from the ground.
After the military observation group notified the two warring countries, they chose to take an airship and hover a thousand meters above the ground to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The current situation was originally very obvious, and the defeat of the Shu army was certain.
The Swiss army's thousands of mechanics defeated the Shu army's tens of thousands of defenders.
This shocked many generals in the military observation group, destroyed their previous concepts, and made them realize the power of tanks again.
General Wang Shangfu discovered that the situation on the battlefield had undergone new changes.
The Shu army, which was originally on the defensive, suddenly rushed out from behind with a mechanized army composed of more than 200 tanks and dozens of self-propelled artillery.
The Shu army's mechanized army attacks, which makes the current situation even more interesting.
The Swedish army has previously demonstrated how the mechanized army can defeat the traditional army.
Now the two countries are about to demonstrate a collision between mechanized armies.
General Wang Shangfu reminded: "The chariots of the Shu army have come out."
With his reminder, all the generals looked towards the back of the Shu army's position.
They saw the Shu army's chariots lined up in a long line and penetrated the Swiss army's flank.
The Yue general Ke Bei said in surprise: "Where did the Shu chariots come from?
According to public information, the Shu Kingdom did not transport chariots to the front line.
For something as big as a tank, the transportation process cannot be kept secret."
Imperial General Niu Feng replied: "It is impossible for such a precious weapon as a chariot to drive to the front line by itself.
Usually transported by rail.
Public intelligence shows that since the war began, the Shu Railway has not transported chariots to the front line.
This must be transported by truck, not in large quantities, but secretly.
Spies in Switzerland have stepped up their activities in the past month.
They were able to confirm that the Shu Kingdom had not transported chariots to the front line in the past month.
It is precisely because of this kind of intelligence support that Swiss mechanics are unscrupulous on the battlefield.
They are confident that even if they make a mistake, they can safely evacuate the battlefield."
General Su Zihai of Gui State said in surprise: "This is impossible!
The Shu army was beaten so badly before that they did not even let their own chariots appear.
I don't understand the Shu army's choice at all.
Even if the commander-in-chief of the Shu army wanted to take things by surprise, he couldn't play to such an extreme.
He is not afraid that the troops on the front line will really not be able to support them and will collapse."
Imperial General Niu Feng guessed: "I think the Shu army has encountered a problem.
Otherwise the chariot would never have waited until now to appear.
What the specific problem is cannot be known through public information.
We can only wait until after the war to know what exactly happened.
This should be the first time a collision between tanks occurred.
Everyone should open their eyes and take a good look."
General Wang Shangfu added: "The chariots equipped by the Shu army are the main chariots of the empire.
Although it is slightly smaller, it has full power and stronger armor protection."
General Wang Shangfu took the opportunity to remind everyone and promote the empire's tanks.
He believed in the capabilities of the Imperial tanks.
He is not afraid of the poor level of the Shu army. It is precisely because of the poor level of the Shu army that the value of the imperial tank can be highlighted.
…
The military observation group immediately discovered the Shu army's chariot attack.
The Swedish army has never relaxed its observation of the battlefield.
Machinist commander Mao Changkong received the telegram immediately.
The airship responsible for reconnaissance in the sky sent a telegram and found that the Shu chariot was rushing towards the Swedish army's position.
Commander Mao Changkong saw his subordinates looking slightly panicked.
He roared angrily: "Why are you panicking?
This attack encountered the Shu army's chariots, which was not something our army could have anticipated in advance.
How long does it take for our army to train, and how long does it take for the Shu army’s chariot troops to train?
Everyone must have confidence in their hard work.
We must believe in the tanks produced in our country and our technology.”
