Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara, Gendai Heiki de Guntai Harem o Tsukucchaimashita!?

There is a weapon called 'Cannon'.

When you hear of a weapon called a cannon, you generally think of cannons that fly bullets of mass.

However, strictly technical terms do not refer to using such gunpowder to fly bullets as' cannons'.

Because "cannon" used to refer to stone throwers, etc. used when attacking castles, etc. (hence the stone lettering on the left side).

In the case of cannons like these, they're called 'cannons'.

Guns that use gunpowder to fly bullets - so guns.

So henceforth, I shall not call it 'cannon', but 'artillery'.

Well, the first time artillery (artillery) was used in war was in 1247, when they were flying bullets made of stone.

And in the sixteenth century, iron bullets became popular, and it was not until around the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that ballistics studies began to improve significantly the performance of the artillery.

And if you realize it, the artillery was a weapon that had to be on the battlefield.

Various kinds of artillery have become tactically and strategically shaping the situation, so much so that no modern army possesses artillery either.

Even in modern land warfare, the majority of casualties are said to be caused by shells (small firearms are often used for suppression rather than for combat).

When I was living alone in Japan on Earth in my last life, I was doing it on TV news or something, but I was like, "What's the scariest attack on the battlefield by a ground soldier? 'He was questioned and instantly replied that number one was an attack by heavy firearms (artillery).

Because he gets attacked without sound, and he dies - apparently.

Air strikes from the sky, for example, are still visible to bombers and there are ways to avoid them because they drop bombs.

However, in the case of heavy firearms (guns), the bullets fly faster than the sound from a few kilometers away and explode, so there is no way to avoid them.

As a result, military body armor developed to prevent fragments of shells on the battlefield.

Because it doesn't just prevent injuries, it also helps the mental stability of soldiers.

By the way, the second scariest attack by ground soldiers seems to be a sniper.

You think this one is faster than the sound when you notice it, because it is attacked and killed or injured?

- Return to the story.

This means that heavy firearms (artillery) are and will remain one of the weapons of importance, both on the high-tech battlefields of the planet of previous life, where intercontinental ballistic missiles, aircraft and the like have developed, and on the control of terrorist guerrillas lurking in mountain bases.

I keep thinking that the day may come when guns, one of those important weapons, will be needed in the future, even in this other world.

That's why when I launched PEACEMAKER's weapons research and development department, I immediately worked on the research and development of artillery.

And, 'Which heavy firearms (guns) do you research and develop?' I continued to think for days and eventually decided to employ a heavy weapon (artillery).

What is that heavy weapon (artillery) - an 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak) developed by Germany (actually developed by Flak 18. Year numbers will be omitted later).

Also known as Ahat Ahat (8 German for Ahat).

It's one of the most active artillery in World War II.

So why did I want to develop this 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak)? 'Hobbies!' Not... 'cause I like it!' Nor... 'to have a performance that was developed as an anti-aircraft gun but can also be utilized for anti-ground attacks'.

Anti-aircraft guns are - guns for interception against aircraft flying in the air.

Such anti-aircraft guns were used by the Germans for interceptions such as anti-ground - attacking tanks.

Let me give you an example of a battlefield where an 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak) was not used as an anti-aircraft gun, but was used for an anti-ground attack.

June 15, 1941.

The operation was launched by an attacking unit composed of the 7th Mechanical Armor Division and the 4th Indian Division of the British Army.

It is a large unit of about two hundred British army tanks and more than two thousand soldiers.

Their aim was to break that siege, in which the British forces in Tobruk, in Italian Libya, were besieged and isolated by the Germans, and to prevail on the Egyptian side.

This operation was so powerful that the then British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill himself, named it 'Battle Axe'.

The tank used for this operation to prove it was the latest tank of its time, Matilda Mk. II Infantry Tank.

A brief spec for Matilda Mk. II will be as follows:

Main cannon: 40mm anti-tank gun

Maximum speed: 24.1 km/h

Front armor: 75-78 mm

The front armor of Matilda Mk. II infantry tanks is as high as about 75 mm.

At the time, even pivotal (German & Italian) tank guns and anti-tank guns (50mm PaK38 anti-tank guns in the largest ones) in Africa were too thick to penetrate.

As a result, British soldiers placed strong trust in this state-of-the-art tank.

And the British army (4th Indian Division) marched ahead of the Matilda tank with infantry.

In response, the German Army Guards shelled and opened the curtain of battle.

But - it was the British army that was progressing slowly at first, but when enemy shells were fired from German positions, it was easy to penetrate Matilda tank armor. It was destroyed.

And at a distance of about a kilometer, shelling from the other side.

This leaves the front and destroys most Matilda tanks as food for shelling.

Thus, after three days of fighting, the British army was defeated.

Operation Battle Axe ends in failure.

A little, it's been a long story, but it was 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) that destroyed Matilda tanks in this fight.

Germany perceives British 'Operation Battle Axe' beforehand.

8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) were used in anti-ground combat (for anti-tanks).

Thirteen 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) were put into this battle, destroying 91 patrol tanks, including Matilda tanks, in a three-day battle.

So why did the 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak) penetrate the thick armor of the Matilda tank (front armor 78 mm) -

In this battle, 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) were overpowered by high performance armored rounds (APCBC).

Specific figures include the high performance armoured rounds (APCBCs) released from 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) having the power to penetrate armoured plates from about 1.8 km to 85 mm (ballistic angle 30 degrees).

This overwhelming penetrating high performance armored bullet (APCBC) won't prevent you from having your husband's defense.

Could this example alone have shown how awesome an 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak) is?

I decided to research and develop this 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 FLAK) because I had to.

- The story goes back just a little longer than when the demons led by Altrius started attacking.

In advance of the battle, PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker) was constructing positions in a neat manner.

Make a hill out of sorcery and dig a hole there.

Build up and reinforce ear sacs around holes.

An 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak) shall be installed there.

Typically, 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) must be manually pushed and transported from the towing vehicle to the designated position after being transported to the destination by pulling vehicle.

But we have a lease.

With her infinite storage, I can move her wherever I want without a tow truck or something.

The infinite storage of the lease is truly versatile.

Secure 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak) inside the hole.

Why put it in the hole is to make it hard for the enemy to discover.

Then line up four 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak).

There are 10 personnel required to operate one 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak).

It's a simple calculation that requires 40 people because there are four of them.

In addition, we are going to need personnel to calculate the time frame trust for the shells. Actually, we need more people.

However, PEACEMAKER does not have such personnel.

First, to set the shell's time-bound tube, advanced calculations will be required.

Why calculations are needed… 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) are originally weapons for shooting down enemy aircraft flying at an altitude of about thousands of meters above them, at about 300 km/h.

It is impossible to pinpoint an object that is that high and moving at a high speed, like a sniper rifle.

For this reason, for 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) - first place four 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) in a square shape at intervals of about 80 to 100 m.

In an era where there is still no radar aiming, a device with a long telescope stuck next to it, called a high-beam calculator, determines the angle of shot, azimuth, of the enemy aircraft flying in the sky.

The data calculated with the high emission calculator is transmitted to the four cannons by an electrical signal through a dimensional guidance device connected by cable.

Based on that data, a shell carrier manually sets the time limit for the shell to explode.

However, the calculated time does not include the time for shell carriers to manually set shell time limits.

Therefore, it was necessary to deduct such time (dead time) and calculate it.

Even so far, it is difficult to shoot down enemy aircraft with one 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak). So we calculate the future position of the enemy aircraft flying in the sky, fire them in four units and configure a barrage in a box shape.

But even I can't make a device that sends data to each cannon with a high emission calculator or an electrical signal, and I don't know anything about it.

No satisfactory personnel either.

There is also no technique for making high emission calculators, dimensional guidance devices, etc. necessary for aircraft interception.

But there is no such technology, but magical technology is enough.

So I was working on developing a VT tube that would explode in response to magic.

So what is a VT trust?

You know what the three major inventions of weapons were in the last life, in the Second World War on Earth?

The correct answers are said to be 'atomic bombs', 'radar' and 'VT trust'.

"Atomic Bomb" and "Radar" will know what many people look like, but "VT Trusts" will be unfamiliar.

"VT Trust (Variable Time-Fuse = Autonomous Time Frame Trust)" was a new trust developed by the United States at the time.

The time frame tube described earlier shall be set to explode manually.

But this VT tube explodes on its own as it approaches the enemy aircraft after firing.

Why does it explode automatically when approached by an enemy aircraft - after firing, a transmitter and receiver device inside the shell is activated. emit a circular radio wave over a range of 15 m around the shell.

After firing, when a radio wave touches the target (enemy aircraft, etc.), the tube receives the reflected wave and automatically explodes.

The effect of the VT tube is high, and it seems that many Japanese Special Attack aircraft were dropped by this at the time.

Also on the planet today, other than anti-aircraft shells, VT tubes are so widespread that they are used.

I decided to develop this VT tube using magic letters, magic stones, etc.

But it just wasn't that easy to create.

I couldn't create a mechanism to generate radio waves first or catch and react to reflected waves.

First, Maya and Luna had difficulty understanding radio waves, reflective waves, etc., and I couldn't explain myself well.

So once I forgot about the radio waves and the reflective waves, I switched to reacting to magic and creating a mechanism to explode.

This makes it easy to imagine Maya and Luna as well.

As a result, it succeeds in creating an automatically exploding 'MVT trust' in response to the magic set by what it has been able to do.

It's not that hard to set up.

Set demon stones inside shells. After firing, the pottery that is trapping the demon stone is damaged and at the same time magic flows into the magic letters engraved inside the shell.

Magic flows into and activates magic letters to sense the magic drawn into the head of the shell as it is.

It explodes automatically when this outer magic character reacts to a certain value of magic within about 10 meters.

Sorcerers, high-ranking demons, etc. are slightly divulging their magic.

I designed it to react to that magic.

This freed us from fine-tuning and setting the time line.

Thanks to this, the number of people in charge of the 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) could be reduced to one gunman, two operating personnel of the guns, one loader of the shells, one squad leader who commands the whole thing and a total of five.

Four cars can keep it down to twenty.

Also now, after installing the 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak), the members who have finished loading the MVT tubes are helping with other tasks.

Fine targeting is all you have to do after the enemy arrives.

The trenches were partitioned by Snow and Karen to produce dirt by magic. Overwhelmingly faster than you would normally dig.

To the extent that a few people are being driven out for fine fixes.

The iron strip net is poking around the bundle that Reese took out of infinite storage, where her husband had grabbed it barely and had decided beforehand.

Thanks for completing the iron strip net at a tremendous rate... doesn't it hurt?

Rather, it takes time to install anti-tank mines.

This one was completely installed using man-made sea tactics one at a time.

I said - Rayala ascends over the sky and confirms the Origin (01) position. He comes down and draws his placement into the map.

Chris also observes using the good eye.

Draw information into the map that you won't notice from Layala's location.

"You have about 10,000 troops over there..."

Altrius summoned all of his troops, so I'm surprised.

Exactly when a giant dragon with no wings appeared like a five-story apartment, I doubted my own eyes.

'Cause that's more of a monster than a dragon anymore.

Besides, three such monsters appeared.

Regular legions (Legions), countries, and armies are lowering their saj at this point.

No one would hate to fight such a moving castle-like monster.

As far as I can confirm, there are 500 other flying dragons.

More than 9,000 demonic soldiers fortified by Altrius.

That is the most powerful sorcerer of the race who is said to be 'a man who can fight the world alone'.

This is not the kind of power that an individual can put out lightly.

I know exactly why magician s level is called 'out-of-the-way', 'monster' and 'monster'.

I get a whole picture of the power over there, and compared to my own, I give the answer.

"All right, within your expectations."

I snort alone.

Assuming the worst, I sincerely feel good to have continued to mass produce the weapons I use this time until I, Maya and Luna are full of time.

It looks like Harahara (01) is just going to make a frontal breakthrough by letting his power say something, as this one expects.

Apparently, there's no need to change the operation either.

"Lute, I'm done making trenches."

Snow calls me out and I raise my face off the map.

Get ready reports from other people in charge.

Apparently, he's safe at war time, in time.

I instruct the assembled PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker) members in advance.

"No changes to the operation! As per the meeting that happened beforehand, please! Repeat proudly to the top legions (Legions) who can't even spot this strength, and literally give them painful eyes!

The members give my voice back well.

Everyone, with all that power in front of them, no one is broken.

Everybody, get to the grip.

I'll drop it off and move to my place of responsibility.

After a while, the battle starts and the troops of Origin (01) move out.

An army of demons and a dragon without huge wings that sounds like ground and storms without any help.

Approximately 500 flying dragons spreading their wings fly up and straight this way.

The dragons are fast enough to fly just fine.

We'll reach our position sooner than our enemy ground unit.

I will defeat you first for that reason - but I want to secure control of the airspace just now in order to defeat the ground forces.

Usually, when shooting anti-aircraft, a long cylinder called a rangefinder is used to measure the linear distance to the enemy plane, the high and low angles, and the calculation of the triangle function starts at altitude from the two values.

From there, calculate the future position of the enemy plane to be moved, and fire towards it.

For once, a rangefinder was manufactured during the prototyping phase.

However, it turns out that the shooting that Chris gave instructions on the count would hit the target better if he tried the experiment. The rangefinder is still at the prototype stage, but Chris is supposed to be instructed to shoot because he doesn't have time for it this time.

I hear the future position of the dragons from Chris standing next to me, raising his voice and giving directions for orientation (direction) and angle of shot (angle) shooting at each of the four 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak).

It would be easier if we could communicate positions and warhead time limits with electrical signals, like the Germans...

To the ready 8.8 cm anti-aircraft guns (8.8 Flak) troops I wave down with my right hand raised and a voice announcing the opening of the war.

"Shoot me!

Boom.

Burning arson in bright red.

The MVT tube grenade approaches the herd of dragons coming this way like arrows of light.

In a moment, the tube reacts to magic and explodes!

The dense dragons fall apart.

After firing, the empty pod is automatically ejected.

In the case of an 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun (8.8 Flak), it is not necessary to deliberately remove the empty cartridge after firing.

Thanks to this, the accustomed soldiers can fire 15 shells per minute.

We didn't get much time to train, so we had an average of 10 to 12 shots a minute.

Still, as a minimum of 10 rounds per minute from four, it will be calculated that 40 rounds can be fired.

The next bullet had already been loaded and was waiting for the signal to fire.

I raise my right hand high again and wave it down.

"Shoot me!

Another blast.

The first shelling was safe, but the dragons, too, fall like leaves in the second shelling.

But I don't think we can kill all the flying dragons with this shelling.

This time, it is the grenade that is being used for the shelling.

A grenade is an early story, but it's like a fragmented grenade.

Typically, the inside of a bullet shell (also known as a crushing wall) is filled with detonators, high performance explosives.

When it explodes, it attacks enemy aircraft with numerous bullet shell fragments, blasts.

If the dragon can be defeated with this grenade, I've never done it.

But you don't have to die in this attack, you just have to get your wings torn, you can fall surprised by the sound of the explosion, and you can't move because of that impact.

I wish I could eventually get rid of the flying dragon from the sky and this side could take control of it.

If he falls alive on the ground again, he will be a stepping stone to the Origin (01) ground unit that will come later.

As expected, there's no way to trample down the fallen but still breathing flying dragons, and a featherless dragon stops about five stories tall.

Demonic soldiers are also baffled by sudden events. Some of them were trying to bypass the dragons and attack us.

Meanwhile - there were only about fifty dragons left in the air already.

With all this power on display, the flying dragons will still storm straight into this position without punishment.

It is an anti-aircraft gun originally designed to target an aircraft flying at about 300 km/h, plus a grenade of MVT tubes.

Yet you really think you can just storm straight and escape that shell?

But the other guy is a big lizard.

Maybe I can't even make that decision.

In the meantime, I still ignore the ground troops and I issue a third shooting instruction to secure control of the airspace.

Shooting noise.

Fire - This third round of shelling sweeps away the dragons in the air.

... Well, shall we finally deal with the ground troops next?
