The Rise of the Empire

"Rupprecht, you are doing a very good job. You have provided Germany with a very good attack weapon. Our soldiers no longer have to brave the hail of bullets and use explosives and flamethrowers to clean up those annoying trenches and bunkers. , and then use the heavy artillery to attack the opponent's position, your new weapon complements the last link to break through the enemy's defense line!" After the observation, Prince Leopold expressed his appreciation to the prince without hesitation. \u003c/p\u003ePrince Leopold had worked in artillery before, and he firmly believed in the combat idea of ​​cannon conquering and infantry occupying. And it is very sensitive to the development of science and technology and changes in the mode of war. He has discovered a problem earlier than other colleagues, a problem that has been unsolvable throughout World War I, that is, on the Western Front, this kind of front is relatively narrow, but in areas where troops and firepower are concentrated, the defenders are in trenches and bunkers Gained too much advantage with the help of . Even this advantage also applies to areas with longer fronts such as the Eastern Front. \u003c/p\u003eIn the future, the German army will eventually be the offensive side. Germany has limited resources. If it cannot defeat the opponent, the final result can only be consumed by the opponent. So this year, His Royal Highness has been studying how to break through the opponent The key defense, and then shake the opponent's entire defense line! \u003c/p\u003eThe prince's years of military experience and research have basically formed his strategy. Although the general idea is similar to the past, the operation is much more delicate. \u003c/p\u003eThe firepower preparation during the attack consists of two parts. The first part is the curved attack of the long-range artillery. The second part is the direct attack of the heavy artillery unit. \u003c/p\u003eWith the development of technology, there are always some bunkers that will be repaired well. They are low and out of the attack range of most curved-fire artillery. They are strong and can even block the attack of 210mm heavy artillery. They are powerful. Featuring a plethora of machine guns and rapid-fire cannons, they now have a brand new name - Brace! \u003c/p\u003e Therefore, in order to deal with these strong fortresses, in addition to using a small number of super siege guns, it is necessary to use flat-fire artillery to concentrate and carry out repeated strikes. For example, level the 150mm cannon and 210mm howitzer, and then deploy to the front line before the attack begins, for intensive direct shooting! \u003c/p\u003e (It is said in history that during the Battle of Verdun, at key locations, German artillery deployed their own heavy artillery on the scale of a 210mm heavy howitzer company every 150 meters!) \u003c/p\u003e Afterwards, the elite infantry will shoot directly Under the cover of firepower and machine guns, breakthroughs were made, and efforts were made to lay a few wedges on the opponent's front. The long-range artillery unit immediately switched to suppression and isolation, suppressing the opponent's long-range artillery with bullet rain, reducing the pressure on our attacking troops. On the other hand, artillery shells are used to isolate the attack site to prevent reinforcements from the opponent's reinforcements. \u003c/p\u003eIn the last step, the natural large forces occupy the opponent's position along the path opened by the commandos and artillery fire, and expand to the surroundings. Open the opponent's defense line and annihilate as many enemies as possible on the defense line. \u003c/p\u003eLeopold's entire plan is almost complete, but before seeing the breakthrough tank, he still lacks a link, that is, what kind of weapon to use to accompany the infantry forward and destroy those ubiquitous machine gun points. Artillery can't solve all problems, no matter how fierce the firepower is, there are always some firepower points and trenches that can survive the heavy bombardment. \u003c/p\u003eAnd even if only one-tenth of the firepower can survive, it will be a big trouble for the attacker! A machine gun with sufficient ammunition and a good location can block the attack path of a company. Soldiers themselves are too vulnerable to these firepower.

Maybe they'll have mortars and anti-aircraft guns to destroy these firepower points, but those things move too slowly and are inherently fragile. In this confrontation between the enemy and the enemy, the defender itself has a slight advantage! \u003c/p\u003eMore importantly, the situation on the battlefield can change at any time. As time goes by, the defender can concentrate more powerful firepower and troops to seal the gap. The advantage of the attacker is time-limited. If If the situation cannot be opened for a long time, it will inevitably be squeezed out by the defender. \u003c/p\u003eAnd now, the appearance of the No. 2 Breakthrough Tank completes the last link! With this kind of chariot that can resist more than 90% of the firepower on the battlefield and is equipped with a 75mm howitzer, these vehicles can accompany the infantry, block bullets for the infantry, destroy firepower points along the way for the infantry, and even carry supplies for the infantry (in history, the British The human mk1 tank once carried a large amount of food and ammunition, not only for its own vehicle crew, but also for the accompanying infantry to solve the supply problem.)\u003c/p\u003ePrince Leopold is like those decision masters in the novel, In an instant, there is no secret, and then break through to a new level. What the prince did was to help the prince make up for the last shortcoming, and the prince, who thought that the tactics were perfect, proudly shared this tactic with the prince. And that night, he deduced it for the prince on the sand table. \u003c/p\u003eAfter listening to the prince's introduction, the prince was both happy and proud. Happily, my uncle, the commander-in-chief of the German Eastern Front in history, has already understood the essence of the German Army's tactics in World War I in advance. Commando tactics, concentration and isolation of artillery, and suppression. These cheats that severely defeated the Allies in World War 1 are of great value, which means that the Bavarian Army will reduce unnecessary sacrifices in World War 1 in the future. \u003c/p\u003eAs for being proud? That is entirely based on the accumulation of hundreds of years of traversers! In the prince's view, his uncle's tactics are indeed very powerful, but there is still room for improvement, especially if they are put on the Eastern Front. Even if Prince Leopold's tactics are successful, what he can achieve is nothing more than A tactical breakthrough cannot be transformed into a strategic victory! \u003c/p\u003e"It's only one step away." The prince secretly thought it was a pity. It would be even better if Prince Leopold could change the last step to develop in depth and complete the division and encirclement of the opponent instead of horizontal expansion. If a fast assault group is paired with car transport, then this is an original fast mobile strike force, and even a primitive version of the blitzkrieg in World War 1 is hopeful. It feels like a pity that your uncle is limited. Otherwise, my uncle is very likely to become the first person among the aborigines to comprehend the 2nd World War German Stick Vocational High Collection! \u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friends kx-001, 1st Guards Tank Brigade, sc-vx, slow travel k, fly Doomhammer, early riser, fisherman~~~!
