"Ruprecht, you have done a very good job, you have provided the Germans with a very good weapon to attack the fortifications, our soldiers no longer have to brave the rain of bullets, use explosives packs and flamethrowers to clear those annoying trenches and bunkers, and after using heavy artillery to attack the opponent's positions, your new weapons complement the last link in breaking through the enemy's defenses!" At the end of the observation, Prince Leopold did not hesitate to express his appreciation to the prince. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Prince Leopold, who had previously worked as an artilleryman, believed in the idea of artillery conquest and infantry occupation. And it is quite sensitive to the development of science and technology and changes in the mode of warfare. He had already discovered a problem earlier than his peers, a problem that could not be solved throughout the First World War, that is, on the Western Front, where the front was relatively narrow, but where the forces and firepower were concentrated, the defenders gained too much advantage with the help of trenches and pillboxes. Even this advantage applies in a region with a long front, such as the Eastern Front.

In the future, the German army will eventually be the attacker, Germany has limited resources, if it can't win the opponent, then the final result can only be consumed alive by the opponent, so this year, His Royal Highness has been studying how to break through the opponent's key defenses, and then shake the opponent's entire defense line!

The prince's years of military experience and research have basically shaped his strategy, although the general idea is similar to the past, but the operation is a lot more delicate.

The preparation of fire for the offensive consisted of two parts, the first of which was the warp fire of long-range artillery, which was initially used to attack ordinary targets that had been calibrated and to strike at depth. The second part is a direct attack by heavy artillery units.

With the development of technology, there will always be pillboxes that will be well repaired, they are low, out of range of most curved guns, they are sturdy, they can even block the attacks of 210mm guns, they are powerful, they have a large number of machine guns and rapid-fire guns, they now have a new name - support points!

Therefore, in order to deal with these strong fortresses, in addition to using a small number of super siege guns, it is necessary to concentrate them with flat-fire artillery and carry out repeated strikes. For example, flatten the 150mm cannon and 210mm howitzer, then deploy to the front line before the attack begins for intensive direct fire!

(Historically, it is said that during the Battle of Verdun, at key locations, German artillery deployed its heavy artillery at the scale of a 210mm heavy howitzer battery every 150 meters!) ）

Elite infantry would then break through under the cover of direct fire and machine guns, and strive to drive several wedges on the opposing front. The long-range artillery units immediately switched to suppression and isolation, suppressing the opponent's long-range artillery with a rain of bullets to reduce the pressure on our attacking troops. On the other hand, artillery shells were used to isolate the attack site and prevent the reinforcement of the opposing army.

And in the last step, the natural large forces occupied the opponent's positions along the road opened by the assault and artillery fire, and expanded to the periphery, of course, the expansion here was not interspersed in depth but to carry out horizontal attacks on both sides of the battle line, striving to tear apart the opponent's line of defense and annihilate as many enemies as possible on the line.

Leopold's entire plan was almost complete, but before he saw the breakthrough tank, he was missing one link, and that was what kind of weapons to accompany the infantry and destroy the ubiquitous machine gun points. Artillery does not solve everything, no matter how heavy the fire, there are always some points of fire and trenches that can survive the heavy shelling.

And even if only a tenth of the firepower points can survive, then it will be a big trouble for the attacker! A well-stocked machine gun can block a company's path, and the soldiers themselves are too vulnerable to this fire, perhaps they will have mortars and flat guns to destroy these fire points, but these things are too slow to move and are themselves vulnerable. In this battle between the enemy and the enemy, the defender itself has a slight advantage!

What's more, the situation on the battlefield can change at any time, and over time, the defender can concentrate more powerful firepower and forces to close the gap, and the attacker's advantage is limited by time, and if it fails to open the situation, it will inevitably be squeezed out again by the defender.

And now, the appearance of the breakthrough tank No. 2 completes this last link! With this kind of combat vehicle that can withstand more than 9% of the firepower of the battlefield and is equipped with 75mm howitzers, these vehicles can accompany the infantry, block bullets for the infantry, destroy the fire points along the way for the infantry, and even carry supplies for the infantry (historically, the British MK1 tank used to carry a large amount of food and ammunition, not only for their own crew, but also to solve the supply problem for the accompanying infantry). ）

Prince Leopold, like the master decision-makers in the novel, has no chance in an instant, and then breaks through to a new realm. What the prince did was to help the prince make up for the last shortcoming, and the prince, who thought that he had no flaws in tactics, was very proud to share this tactic with the prince. And that night, he deduced it for the prince on the sand table.

And after listening to the prince's introduction, the prince was both happy and proud. Happily, his uncle, the commander-in-chief of the German Eastern Front in history, had already gained insight into the essence of the tactics of the German Army in the 1st World War. Commando tactics, the concentrated use and isolation of artillery, as well as suppression. These cheats for defeating the Allies in World War 1 are extremely valuable, which means that the Bavarian Legion will reduce unnecessary sacrifices in World War 1 in the future.

As for being proud? That's all based on the accumulation of up to 100 years of traversers! In the prince's opinion, his uncle's tactics are indeed very powerful, but there is still room for improvement, especially when it is put on the Eastern Front, even if Prince Leopold's tactics are successful, all that can be achieved is a tactical breakthrough, and it cannot be transformed into a strategic victory!

"It's just one step away." The prince secretly said in his heart that 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, rather than horizontally and horizontally, and if the prince could form a rapid assault group with cavalry, armored troops and elite infantry, and then transport it by car, then this is a primitive rapid mobile strike force, and even a primitive blitzkrieg in World War 1 is promising. It feels like it's a pity that its uncle is limited. Otherwise, his uncle is likely to become the first person among the aborigines to comprehend the 2nd Battle Virtue Stick Career High Treasure Book!
