433 Cheng Xiaoyu's self-comfort
"Oh my God, I really don't understand what the staff guys think, where did they get the confidence to pull these Italians into the real battle?
Could it be that Austria-Hungary lacked a guard of honor here that was kicking the right foot? ”
Cheng Xiaoyu looked depressed and puzzled, holding the telescope while looking at the opposite side of the barbed wire, wooden stakes, trenches and other 'routines' complete defense line.
He was not looking at how to break through the enemy lines, as a normal commander would, but trying to see how many trenches there were on the Austro-Hungarian line on the opposite side, and how many troops could be stored......
In terms of attack, Cheng Xiaoyu never thought about it, and taking a group of Italian soldiers to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had learned trench position warfare for a long time, was no different from looking for death......
War is the best teacher, and after the French, Prussians, and Italians were crushed by the Han army one after another, the experience of trenches in Europe also increased day by day.
In order to prevent the wanton slaughter by the Han army's high-powered 75mm Miss French rapid-fire guns, the European powers began to study how to dig more effective anti-artillery holes......
Fortunately, since every time they fought against the Han army against the white army, they were crushed by the withering and decaying, and they did not learn any effective offensive experience...... It also adheres to the concept of tactical offensive in the crowd.
As a matter of fact, it is not wrong for the European continental powers to rely on the waves of people to attack the enemy's positions layer by layer, as long as the speed of the flow of people per unit of time can exceed the intensity of firepower, they can rush through the firepower network composed of continuous fire weapons and attack the enemy's position!
Otherwise, you can't always shoot at the enemy from a long distance, as the defender will definitely have better cover and fortifications, and a long tug-of-war is unfair in itself, so it is better to put a large number of troops on it in one go to see if it can crush the enemy.
Even in the first battle in Lin Haoda's previous life, the dense crowd charge has not been canceled, which is also the reason why tens of thousands of people died in one day in the first battle.
Nowadays, the power of artillery has not reached the level of madness during World War I, and the number of machine guns has not reached the density that can form a death zone.
It's just that the European continent countries, which have not made much progress in attack, have begun to understand the essence of trench warfare in defense...... This is all the experience of being beaten by Han artillery and machine guns!
One-man deep trenches replaced the original breastwork and other fortifications, deeper and stronger anti-artillery holes began to appear in large numbers on fixed positions, and the few primitive machine guns in European countries began to follow the example of the Han army and scattered on the trench heights, and artillery was also concentrated and used in large numbers!
The most direct manifestation of this is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which borders Italy proper, has built a front stretching for hundreds of kilometers along the border, and has been covered with barbed wire holes and trenches in important areas.
Of course, this original version of the trench defense position of World War I is not an obstacle for Lin Haoda, who has armored troops, but Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't understand why the Italian Han Association Army, which suppressed the guerrillas in the rear, and pulled it to the real battlefield!
Look at the Italian soldiers who were arrogant before, and when they arrived on the battlefield, they shrank their heads one by one, eager to arch into the trench and never show their heads, and the cowardice is called a 'full of tricks'......
"Tuanza, don't worry, the Italian Independent Regiment that was reorganized under our command are all veterans who saw blood during the suppression of the Sicilian guerrillas, and their combat quality is still reliable, and they are already considered the 'elite' among the Italians, and this is also an attempt by the General Staff to see if these white veterans who have been adapted by us can be qualified for the real battlefield intensity.
You know, the treatment of the Italian Independent Regiment is not the treatment of the ordinary Italian Han Army, and there will be a lot of opportunities to 'make extra money' on the battlefield, although we can't let the Italian soldiers have the belief in fighting, but we can cultivate their 'belligerent thoughts', such as grabbing food, grabbing money, grabbing women or something, the Italians who are willing to serve our Han Army, aren't they all to make more money and enjoy life? ”
He Jiabing, the military discipline officer of the Italian Independent Regiment, explained to Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu sighed and put down the binoculars, and replied a little helplessly: "I also understand this truth, but the battlefield is a place where you can die at any time, if these Italians suddenly collapse when they are fighting, you and I may not even have a chance to escape, our Italian independent regiment number sounds very good, but it doesn't even have a good horse, only donkeys, mules and horses pulling supplies, this thing is really too long to ride and run......
He Jiabing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this, it turned out that his own regiment commander was worried about his own life!
Sure enough, this group of mobilized officers who rose from the bottom did not have enough ideological consciousness at all, so it was not natural for them to die on the battlefield for the commander?
Of course, He Jiabing just thought about this kind of thing in his heart, and it would embarrass Cheng Xiaoyu if he said it, after all, he was the commander of this Italian Independent Regiment, although He Jiabing was 'foolish and loyal', he was not rigid, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Italian Independent Regiment, which was about equal to the 'model army', as a regiment-level military disciplinary officer.
"Tuanzuo's worries should not happen, the task of the Italian Independent Regiment is only to defend the position and assist the main force of our Han army to attack, and do some tasks to collect prisoners and occupy towns, and a hard battle will not be allowed to be fought."
As soon as He Jiabing's words fell, there was a rumbling cannon sound and the faintly visible motor roar of the armored vehicle in the distance......
"It's a war, and I don't know how long it will take for that side to break through." Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the firelight reflected in the Austro-Hungarian position in the distance, before entering Italy, he should also be a member of the firelight, and he would be sent into the coffin by a stray bullet anytime and anywhere.
With such a comparison, Cheng Xiaoyu's heart suddenly balanced a lot, although the more than 2,000 Italian soldiers under his hand could not give him any sense of security, but at least so many people died with him, compared to the situation when he died and no one may be buried, it is decisively the 'welfare' of being an official!
Even if you are just a puppet army commander who is not taken seriously, it is much better than being a front-line soldier with good treatment for the main elite.
