The Rise of the Empire

But it doesn't matter. As a time traveler, plagiarism is already the main thing in his daily life. Naturally, he will not let go of this opportunity that can not only improve the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion, but also make himself famous. So the prince picked up the putter next to the sand table, and then took out several cavalry models and a car model from the war chess box next to them, and put them on the sand table. \u003c/p\u003eThen with a light push of the push rod, the newly added cavalry and cars merged with the chess pieces that had just broken through the front line, symbolizing armored soldiers and elite infantry, and then, the prince pushed these war chess pieces forward further ! Directly pushed this group of troops to the enemy's second line of defense. \u003c/p\u003e"Very good idea." Just when the prince made persistent efforts to push the front-line artillery to the occupied position and establish a new starting position, the praise and applause of Prince Leopold had already sounded, The prince knew that his thoughts had been understood by the prince. \u003c/p\u003e"Is your tactic like this? After using armored troops and elite infantry to break through the opponent's line of defense, gather cavalry and a large number of vehicles, and form a fast assault corps with the breakthrough troops in front, continue to develop in depth to the opponent, and push them The defense line was broken one by one, and then the infantry behind caught up to carry out a large-scale encirclement operation." Prince Leopold asked. \u003c/p\u003e "That's right, that's right." The prince said with some pride, a faint smile hung on the corner of the prince's mouth. \u003c/p\u003e"The idea is very good, but it is difficult to realize, at least not now." Prince Leopold's words poured down his head like a basin of cold water... \u003c/p\u003e"Uncle, are you jealous? It must be jealousy. I didn't think about it, but the younger generation figured it out, so you want to hit me?" The prince speculated maliciously in his heart. \u003c/p\u003e"This is one of the basic principles of the original blitzkrieg. Attack as deep as possible when conditions permit, attack the opponent's nodes and supply stations, and prevent the opponent from rebuilding the defense line. If there is some air force, then It’s perfect! This is how Germany played in World War II. How can you say that mine can’t be realized. Now there are trucks, tanks and assault guns, and aircraft will soon be available. The basic elements are all complete, although The technical limitations cannot be compared with World War II, but at least it is not a big problem to deal with a country like Russia." The prince was very dissatisfied. \u003c/p\u003e"Leaving aside the stability of the new breakthrough tanks and assault tanks, we can assume that these tanks are stable enough and have a range of at least 120 kilometers. Isn't this data pretty good?" Leopold The prince was not angry when he saw the word dissatisfaction written all over his face, but explained patiently. \u003c/p\u003e"Our wave of deduction can start from breaking through the opponent's first wave of defense. The breakthrough tank is just like its name, it was born to break through the opponent's defense. I believe it can complete the task very well. However, this kind of chariot is not suitable for continuing to attack in depth. Excluding the problem of reliability, the biggest problem is that its speed is too slow, and its speed in the wild will not exceed 7 kilometers per hour. The infantry is fast."\u003c/p\u003e "Think about it, our future battlefield is the Eastern Front. How vast is Russia? And the road conditions in Russia are very bad. Even if we break through the defense line, where should we attack next? Yes Attack those supply points that are too widely distributed at a speed of 30 kilometers per day, or look for a certain line of defense of the opponent?"\u003c/p\u003e"The Russians are not stupid. They are not our opponents in a frontal battle, so they will retreat decisively when the situation is unfavorable. How many frontline troops can run out, and on the vast Russian plains, how many enemies can your small armored troops encircle? What about the army? How far can our frontal army advance?" Prince Leopold asked rhetorically.

\u003c/p\u003ePrince Leopold said the crux of the problem! Whether it is time constraints or logistics constraints, this is an unavoidable problem in World War I. It is true that the prince has produced most of the hardware items needed for the blitzkrieg, but unfortunately, this only solves the problem of availability, not the problem of quantity! \u003c/p\u003eGermany's blitzkrieg system in World War II was a complete system, including armored forces, mechanized infantry, and air force. After the armored forces cut through the opponent's line of defense, there is still a key issue, how to catch as many enemies as possible, which is directly related to the number of enemies that can be wiped out at one time. \u003c/p\u003eThe prince understood what the prince meant. The current Bavarian Legion knives are sharp enough, or the knives of the Germans in history are enough to deal with Russia, but the problem of maneuvering a large number of troops still cannot be solved! You cut through the opponent's line of defense, but if you want to catch the opponent, the infantry behind must move fast enough! \u003c/p\u003eIt is true that the German army in World War II still needed mules and horses to maneuver, but after all, there were hundreds of thousands of vehicles in their hands, and their movement speed was still far faster than that of the regular troops in World War I, which relied entirely on mules and horses. There are too many, even so, there will still be situations where insufficient supplies affect the speed of advancement in World War II in Germany, or the situation where it cannot catch the opponent. In the case of the First World War, even if the Bavarian Legion, which could not move large troops at high speed, broke through the opponent, a small number of elite mechanized troops still could not catch most of the enemies. Even if you continue to intersperse, the effect is limited! \u003c/p\u003eThen the question arises, where can the prince find so many highly mobile troops. If you want most of the troops to be transported by trucks, forget it. This is even difficult for the German army in World War II. It is enough to use my own trucks to arm part of the elite troops, and then use them to strengthen the supplies. Don't even think about pulling all the hundreds of thousands of troops with trucks, and then encircling and annihilating the opponent. \u003c/p\u003e"There is only one way to solve this tactical loophole, and that is cavalry! Only with a large number of cavalry can we let them cooperate with the infantry behind to encircle the opponent's large troops and then annihilate them! Even our armored troops It can be mixed with the cavalry, and the cavalry can be used to make up for the lack of chariots and continue to advance in depth! No matter how bad it is, the mobile cavalry can also destroy and harass the opponent's logistics supply point and disrupt the opponent's retreat." The prince thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e "It's a pity that we don't have so many cavalry in Bavaria. The Russians have an advantage in this regard." Prince Leopold said regretfully. \u003c/p\u003e "Cavalry, it is indeed a problem." The prince sighed. After the rise of automatic weapons, cavalry has become a sunset arm, so the prince is not very interested in this arm, and even has the intention of abolishing it to save money for arming other arms. But judging from the present, not only is there no shortage of cavalry, but it is also possible to continue to shine on the Eastern Front in the future, and carry out a flashback-style war! \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~!
