Artillery mathematics in the First World War
It shouldn't be much different. Although it is often said that a certain leader commands 1 10,000 to 20,000 infantry and1.20,000 artillery to attack a certain highland, the number of ground artillery is quite different from that of infantry. In fact, a cannon needs several soldiers to serve it. A soldier is responsible for aiming, a soldier is responsible for transporting shells, a soldier is responsible for loading shells, and a soldier is responsible for throwing them away. How many soldiers does a cannon need? If the battlefield is temporarily maneuvered, it is necessary to retreat from one position to another, and one front is changed to another, then five soldiers need to be dragged together. Some cannons with larger caliber need dozens of people to tow! For example, the world's largest cannon, the "Dora Jupao" of Nazi Germany, took three days to assemble with more than 2,000 soldiers in service, and only fired 1 shell every hour.
