The subject of siege-works has therefore attracted less popular attention than was formerly devoted to it. Fort Wagner, Vicksburg, Petersburg, Strasburg, Belfort, Paris, Plevna, and Gok Tp have shown, however, that at their respective dates regular siege and mining operations were necessary to reduce either permanent or field fortifications, if well equipped and defended. The volume of fire delivered by the small arms and machine guns now in use has made an open assault upon a well-supplied and well-defended parapet, under ordinary circumstances, a hopeless undertaking, and has necessitated more deliberate methods of attack. The increased accuracy and penetration of modern cannon have rendered obsolete many of the older methods of making regular approaches. The newer constructions described herein, while giving greater protection to the attack, are in general slower in their advance than those previously used. vi This seems, however, to be an unavoidable evil, which is mitigated only by taking advantage of every opportunity for rapid advance offered by the errors of the defence. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
