Chapter 80: More than half of the battle was damaged

The description of the combat effectiveness of the grenadiers is naturally impeccable, and it can be said that the grenadiers are the strongest class of troops in terms of basic morale and hand-to-hand combat ability at this time, except for the special unit line warrior infantry regiment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Line Infantry Regiment is powerful, but it cannot be replenished in the mall, and when its own reputation level does not break through Level 5, the Line Infantry Warrior Regiment can only maintain a maximum of one company, which is 160 people......

This point of people in the larger and larger battles, even the vanguard can't play, at most it plays the role of a supervising team, Lin Haoda didn't bother to spend the historical smashing point to fill it up, the remaining less than 100 line infantry warriors were simply treated by Lin Haoda as his own personal guard full-time to protect their own safety, obeying the command of Zhaoyun sister, and Casio, the commander of the original line infantry warrior regiment, was promoted to Lin Haoda's deputy and the forward commander of the entire unit!

After all, the guns have no eyes, and Lin Haoda, who has the assistance of the all-out war system, cherishes his life very much, he doesn't want to be at the forefront and give orders to command, which looks heroic, but the probability of being 'blinded' by the enemy will also greatly increase......

Therefore, in every battle, Lin Haoda was at an absolutely safe distance, not only was he protected by the pro-guards, but there were also guards patrolling the periphery, and the overall command task of the front line was handed over to Casio. Thunder.

In this era when communication is basically roaring, the army will have a second-level commander who is on the front line and is responsible for immediate response when fighting, and this kind of second-level commander can be one or several, and they have a certain right to mobilize independently, but if you want to dispatch the entire army to carry out large-scale changes, you need to temporarily ask the commander-in-chief......

Even if this would have been a better way to give orders based on the situation on the battlefield, it would greatly increase the likelihood of being hit by enemy artillery and stray bullets, as King Gustav had died in the attack with his team......

This well-known military commander, who was the first to improve the use of line tactics, died worthlessly......

The army of the Kingdom of Sweden was defeated in the following battles without the leadership of King Gustav, a genius commander, ending the Kingdom's ambition for hegemony over most of Europe......

The tradition of the commander-in-chief of the armies of Europe being on the front line has lost many good generals and heads of state......

With the support of the all-out war system, Lin Haoda already has the confidence to treat the army as a consumable, so naturally he will not put his own life into it for the victory of a certain battle......

The grenadiers are as high as 250 historical smash points, but the number of people in a company is the same as that of light infantry, which has to make Lin Haoda give up the option of recruiting grenadiers in large quantities, at least during the period when his own political situation is unclear, and it is the right way to raise the absolute number of his army to deal with the next war of attrition that may turn his face.

Lin Haoda did not immediately spend 10,000 historical smash points to buy troops, but first picked up the battle damage of this battle that had just been reported to him, although the battle outside the Paris City Hall was still going on sporadically, but there were not many dead people, most of them were hiding in various bunkers and firing guns at the distant enemy......

This time, although Lin Haoda captured the Paris City Hall, his own losses were definitely tragic, except for the last time when the Paris City Hall took the initiative to attack, and was demoralized by the grapeshot shells of the artillery with intensive rotation salvos, the tough battles in other locations were fought with human life charges and bayonet hand-to-hand combat.

Not only did the front line infantry at the first two crossroads drop a large number of corpses, fighting along the houses and lanes on both sides of the main road, but also countless line infantry were killed and wounded, and the brave and desperate armed citizens of Paris who were fooled by the revolutionary slogan, the national hatred and family hatred were counted on Lin Haoda's soldiers, and they used all the tools available around them to kill the attacking line infantry!

If someone starts from the outskirts of the Bastille and walks along the main road that has not been cleaned of corpses to the Hôtel de Ville, they can see a dark red world of corpses of different shapes!

The houses on both sides of the main road can be found with a random door, and the fierce street fighting even made the tired line infantry lose their desire to vent on French women......

In the end, after statistics, there are less than 3,000 soldiers in Lin Haoda's army who can still go to the battlefield, including the light infantry battalion composed of 5 companies with negligible losses, the intact artillery unit, and the Lin Haoda personal guards who did not participate in the battle, that is, the crippled line infantry warrior regiment company, and the line infantry of the main combat force, there are only more than 2,000 combatable soldiers left!

Compared to the previous main force of nearly 7,000 line infantry, the losses are simply shocking!

Had it not been for the intermittent and mostly scattered street fighting, the line infantry, which had lost two-thirds of its ranks, would have been demoralized......

The remaining line infantry can be regarded as a new soldier to a veteran, they have witnessed bloody street battles, and the morale of the basic battle has also been slightly improved, Lin Haoda simply integrated the remaining line infantry into an infantry regiment, a large number of officers who died in the first line vacated positions, and gradually improved on the spot according to their combat exploits, Lin Haoda intends to create an elite symbol in an ordinary army, and awarded this veteran infantry regiment tempered in the street battle - the number of the first regiment.

Whether in the West or in the East, the title of first is full of awards and elites, especially for soldiers who lick blood from the knife edge, to be able to obtain the title of first in their own post is tantamount to a natural glory!

In Lin Haoda's future army structure, the first corps will serve as the elite backbone of the line infantry, and cooperate with the grenadier troops to attack the most difficult enemy points!

After every major battle in the future, the surviving veterans will be filled into the first corps to supplement the battle damage, although the line infantry is very cheap, but unlike the light infantry and grenadiers, which are veterans, the line infantry is just a recruit who has been strictly trained by the regular army, so Lin Haoda feels that it is necessary to use this cheap army to hone an elite who can fight with actual combat!

This is also a roundabout route that Lin Haoda's historical smashing point is not enough to take, if he can use the historical smashing point openly, why does Lin Haoda bother so much?

Wouldn't it be perfect to just recruit all the grenadiers......

Of course, the difference in the number and the price of one and a half times that each company lacked successfully stopped Lin Haoda's extravagant thoughts......
