Chapter 745: Let Rupresit come
"I am very disappointed in you, the plan that you have spent more than ten years preparing and planning has been easily stopped by the French, especially you little Moltke, you don't even have a tenth of your uncle's ability! You have more than 70% of the forces of the German Empire, but you can't advance half a step after breaking through the Belgian defenses! You are dereliction of duty! It's a crime! The Kaiser's angry roar resounded in the conference room of the Brussels base camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The commanders of the 7 armies on the German front line have reached 5, plus Moltke Jr. and other high-ranking officials of the General Staff, and the top echelons of Germany during the war are basically here. And now they have to come up with a solution to break the deadlock. The German Legion had to advance, or else it was waiting to lose the war.
"The defeat in the previous stage was certainly due to the overstrength of the French tanks and the British train guns, but the failure of our reinforcements to go up was also an important factor, and with the arrival of the follow-up forces of the First, Second and Third Armies in the north, we had stabilized the situation on the battlefield, as the failure of the French offensive could show." Moltke said stiffly.
"I'd like to ask the question right now, will you be able to break through the opponent's defense in a short period of time?" The Kaiser waved his hand to stop Moltke's defense, and said impatiently.
"I'm afraid it's hard."
"Is it difficult to have more armored vehicles and tank No. 2? With the restoration of the railway, our train guns can also come up. The Kaiser's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Our tanks could not stop the shells of the French 75mm rapid-fire guns in the front, and the 75 fast guns against tanks were no different from rifles against infantry. Our armored spearheads were not strong enough, and the only Hufeng tanks that could be guaranteed to some extent against 75mm artillery were too small, and these tanks were mainly supplied to the Bavarian Corps, and we had less than 150 of them, barely enough to make do with 3 battalions. But now, there are only 70 of them on the front line, which are used as mobile defense units. ”
"Well, I think most of the tanks on our Western Front are tin cars, and they are not at all suitable for storming well-defended lines. Unless we can replace all the armored units with Hu Feng and Crickets. "said the commander of the Fourth Army, Duke Albrecht of Württemberg.
There are some things that are inconvenient for the Prussians to say, but they can be said by people in other kingdoms. Isn't this to this point because of the plans made by the Prussian General Staff and the defective products produced by the Krupp company? Everyone knew in their hearts that if all Bavarian equipment was used from the beginning, maybe the opposite defense line would have been broken through!
Hu Feng's assault gun is a leather sticking sharp, and the 75mm gun is enough to penetrate all bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods. The heavy sloping armor could also block the attack of the 75 guns at least 300 meters away, because the opponent did not make armor-piercing shells. If it's a shrapnel, it doesn't matter if it's closer.
Although the 40mm gun of the Cricket tank is not as powerful as the No. 2 tank, it is better than the fast rate of fire, and if it is not against the frontal of the British MK1 tank, the combat efficiency is higher than that of the No. 2 tank, and it comes out earlier and more stable.
"It's probably not easy to replace the old ones with new ones now, the existing equipment base is too large, and the output is limited in addition to making up for the consumption of the Bavarian Legion, so if it is replaced at the current rate, I'm afraid it will take half a year, and we can't afford to wait." Hindenburg said.
"And then? You mean to transfer part of the armored forces of the Bavarian Corps to the west? The Kaiser said with a frown.
"No, not partially, most of it. The number of armored units of the Bavarian Corps was a lot on the Eastern Front, but it was not enough to throw them on the Western Front. And most importantly, in addition to the troops, Prince Rupresit must also come, because all of us here do not know how to fight an armored attack in depth. After saying this, Moltke almost found a crack in the ground and got in.
The same troops, different people use to fight out completely different results, the same 80 population Xionglu, moon can fight the same as ordinary people? Moltke knew that Rupresit had studied the problem of the deep breakthrough of armored forces, and this time the German-Russian border battle on the Eastern Front was actually like this, although the Russians had some water, but in all fairness, Moltke Jr. thought that he would never be able to fight this effect by himself.
Because his mind is solidified, after a frontal breakthrough, how will the armored forces be used? Just keep running inside? Let's see how General House dealt with the French, so brainless pigs were easily crushed to death. How do armored forces and motorized infantry, as well as cavalry, work together? What about the accompanying artillerymen? What if enemy reinforcements come to close the gap?
If we consider the cooperation of the Air Force, then the difference between the two sides is even farther. To be honest, up to now, Moltke still thinks about letting the bomber be used as a front-line artilleryman, how to systematically cooperate with the ground unit to advance, no one here has ever played it! Don't look at the 1909 exercises, Rupresit played with flowers, but now three years have passed, except after the scale of the air force has been increased, how to cooperate with the ground is really unclear, Rupresit engaged in this thing several years earlier than Moltke Jr. and others, and the accumulation of it cannot be made up in a day or two.
Kruger had seen the performance of the Prussian armored forces on the battlefield, and he had also seen the offensive battles between the Bavarian armored forces on the exercise ground, although the latter was only an exercise, but he always felt that the latter's attack was more orderly and systematic, and the advance and retreat were more agile and effective.
Theoretically speaking, Prussia's armored forces were established with reference to the Bavarian armored forces, but if the latter is a heavy cavalry, then the Prussian armored battalion can only be regarded as a light battalion at most, the former can open the situation alone, the latter can only cooperate with the infantry to fight, the former can do what the latter may not be able to, so the gap in equipment makes the troops under the same name completely two realms. (In other words, the Tiger tank battalion can be on a strong position head-on, and you let a battalion of No. 4A try?) )
"And the Bavarian Air Force, if you can, come along, anyway, the situation on the Eastern Front has stabilized now." Hindenburg, who has not spoken, said.
"There is a problem with the transfer of such a unit. And if we do this, will Austria-Hungary be dissatisfied? Heilin of the Seventh Army asked the general. There are two main aspects to this problem, one is the problem of transportation capacity, this time it is not infantry that is being transferred, but a large number of armored troops and logistics units, and with it a lot of supply pressure. Even if the other side fully cooperates, the traffic line on my side has recovered almost the same, and the time is probably three weeks off, right? And if the other side disagrees, what should you do?
Second, nominally, the Bavarian Army was assigned to the Eastern Front as a friendly force of Austria-Hungary, and now that Austria-Hungary and the Russians are fighting to the death in Galicia, at this time, you transfer all the elites of the Bavarian Army. What would the Emperor think? There is a problem on the Eastern Front, how can this pot be carried? Anyway, the Kaiser won't carry .......
