In the next few days, Zhang Shixin has been waiting for the opportunity to launch a decisive battle.

But he overlooked one point. That is, even if he wants to have a decisive battle, but the other party does not cooperate, there is no way. Meantime......

Zhang Shixin couldn't help but think of a drill he had been invited to conduct a few days ago, with the Knights of the Cathars.

……

Although it was said to be a drill, Zhang Shixin looked at the knight order troops with all kinds of American goods, and was quite suspicious of whether these people were qualified soldiers.

Unskilled in the use of heavy equipment, this situation is not to be discussed. After all, for the armament of almost another system, a certain run-in period is indispensable.

However, if the M1 "Garand" is used for 200-meter shooting, the hit rate is extremely low, and this is no longer a question of whether the marksmanship is bad or not.

Because the accuracy of many people's shooting is that all eight bullets miss the target......

Well, this one already falls into the category of incomparably thunderous people.

The same can be said in every sense of the word.

Zhang Shixin couldn't help but think of a joke he saw on the Internet:

An Italian officer, armed with an MG42 machine gun, opened fire on a pig, only to have the shape of the pig on the wall, and the pig was undamaged......

This is obviously a spoof, but well, the current situation seems to be similar......

He looked at the pope [***] officials who were not very good-looking rather speechlessly, and as for why the other party's face was like this, he could also guess a thing or two.

It's like most of the soldiers under his command can be regarded as a rabble, and it's hard to think about such a face.

Zhang Shixin looked at Binien, who shook her head gently, subconsciously grabbed the other party's hand, and asked suspiciously, "These people ...... You're from **? ”

Binion felt that her jade hand was attacked by Zhang Shixin, first her face turned red, and then, after hearing Zhang Shixin's words, the ruddy on her face became even more profound.

After a while, Binien said something that made Zhang Shixin feel unprepared: "That...... Can I ask you to let go first? ”

"I'm sorry." Zhang Shixin quickly let go of his hand, and then said a sentence as if covering his ears and stealing the bell: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"It's okay...... Binnyne said in a mosquito-like voice, but she quickly said what she knew in another tone that Zhang Shixin could hear clearly.

According to what Zhang Shixin knew, except for about half of these people who were originally members of the Knights, the others could only be regarded as the Holy See Guards in the formation. Unlike many countries, the troops of the Guards and the Praetorian Guards are bound to be elite troops. In the Holy See, the Papal Guard is actually a militia.

Can the militia be expected to bring out the fighting power of the regular army?

Such a thing is certainly impossible.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shi subconsciously let go of his hand, and then shook his head angrily, because he knew very well that this situation was not much different from indiscriminate filling. Well...... Although those supernumerary troops who came to the battlefield for "apprenticeship" also had similar problems, on the whole, the contrast between the two was too far apart.

Because, the supernumerary troops who were now sent to the front line by Zhang Shixin, in coordination with several other mechanized infantry divisions of the Capani Kingdom, defeated several attacks by the Pope's [***] regiment.

If it were replaced by these troops in front of him, they might have fought better, but according to Zhang Shixin's assumption, this possibility is very small.

First, both of them themselves have a certain relationship with the Papal States, and the real combat power that can be exerted will be reduced by Zhang Shixin's unexpected impact.

Second, although there are a certain number of veterans, the quality of the recruits is too low, which is obviously not a good thing, because according to Zhang Shixin's assumption, it is better to say that most of these people are militia or the like, but that many people have not received any training in the first place.

It is true that the battlefield is a place where a recruit can be trained to become a veteran, but if a recruit even has this marksmanship, it is obviously a problem.

Because are these people capable of facing the enemy on the battlefield? The answer is probably only known to God.

As for the odds of surviving? Only God knows the answer. After all, not everyone is Vasily? Zesov (actor in "Soldiers in the City").

What kind of situation will the next battle be, Zhang Shixin is not easy to say, although Binion has hole cards that Zhang Shixin does not know, but one person can affect the direction of the battle, but it is difficult to save the lives that continue to disappear on the battlefield.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin made a decision that can be said to be a slap in the face.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

At Zhang Shixin's strong request, the joint exercise turned into a comparative exercise between the two sides.

The so-called comparative exercise is to have both sides do the same thing to conduct an effective gap assessment. Such a situation can already be regarded as a slap in the face for the Knights of the Cathar. After all, for the summoner legion with Zhang Shixin's main skill max, the Knights of the Cathar is strictly speaking about 65% of the training degree members.

This gap can be said to be impossible to ignore. Zhang Shixin didn't want to do this, but since he knew about the situation, Zhang Shixin had to do it to avoid the kind of collapse of the whole line because in the battle, the Knights of the Cathar were defeated first.

However, Zhang Shixin didn't know that his request had actually fallen into the calculations of a certain Binien who was constantly secretly looking at him.

Anfield also had a certain psychological preparation for this situation, but he was quite helpless about Binion's behavior that went against his identity.

After all, in his heart, Binion, as a saint, should not show such a move. It's just that in his heart, he acquiesced to such a situation.

Although this mentality made him very conflicted, Anfield knew very well that Binien was no longer fit to appear in the Papal States again, no matter what. It can be said that as a saint in the hearts of many people, making such a move can already be said to have betrayed her own beliefs. So, in the end, even if these so-called reformers actually took control of the Papal States, Binion had no place in the Papal States.

Even according to the original plan, he would be the commander of the armed forces of the new Holy See, and he could not ignore the thoughts of those families and let Binnion continue to appear in the Holy See.

It can be said that Binion has become an outcast of the Holy See, and this can be established after the death of the old pope. In an oriental saying: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier." That's exactly what happened.

Therefore, Anfield, who has always regarded Binien as his daughter, can only ignore this move.

And this joint exercise, what appeared was actually a plan jointly initiated by Binion and him, plus several first-level knight captains who were close to them, hoping to use Zhang Shixin and other forces to rectify the Guardian Knights.

According to their assumptions, this plan would cause even something they didn't want to see.

However, if those unstable factors are not removed, the Knights of the Protectors they founded, even at the moment of victory, are only a copy of the previous popes[***].

Although this was contrary to the eight knightly virtues he believed in, he knew that this was the last chance to give the Papal States a chance to revivenation.

So, just as many people believe that punishing sin is protecting justice, Anfield has taken that path.

After all, there is no such thing as an absolutely just and absolutely right thing in this world......

As for why Zhang Shixin was involved, this is mainly in the hope that with the help of Zhang Shixin and the strength of the alliance between the two countries, many opposing voices should be effectively suppressed.

Although he also couldn't say whether it had any effect or not. But things have come to this point, and there is no room for Anfield to retreat.

After "reluctantly" "persuading" a subordinate, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Anfield's mouth.

……

Zhang Shixin naturally didn't know what the friendly high-level leaders next to him were thinking in their hearts, but even if he knew, he didn't care too much. Because of this situation, it is not a bad thing for him.

The comparison of the first item is naturally a test of marksmanship.

There is no doubt about this that the Knights Cathar has suffered a fiasco...... Even with the same weapons, the summons brought by Zhang Shixin were completely superior to these militia units.

In fact, these people are really not well trained, not an illusion disguised by elite troops. After all, for summoners, they can understand a thing or two about the strength of the opponent in many aspects.

Although Anfield didn't know that these people were actually biochemical soldiers and not normal people, out of the intuition of soldiers, Anfield knew very well that Zhang Shixin's summons had higher combat effectiveness than many elite troops.

According to his cognition, it is not a real elite unit, and it is very difficult to defeat the other party in the case of equal numbers. Even if it is a real elite army, it is probably a situation that can be invincible and undefeated.

Of course, he didn't say these words, after all, not many people would believe this kind of concept according to feeling.

So, in this case, it would be inconceivable for Anfield to bring up elite soldiers. Of course, not all of them are those who can't get on the table, a certain number of elites will still be on the field.

……

The comparative drill of marksmanship is over, so in the next infantry unit training, although Zhang Shixin's summoning troops cannot achieve a complete victory, it is easy to win by a large score.

This result made Zhang Shixin quite speechless, but he couldn't say anything, after all, according to his understanding, the knights should be more armored mechanized troops, maybe the real strength of the other party would surprise him quite in another aspect.

The result......

……

The first was the projection of troops by armored vehicle units.

Each of them sent 20 armored vehicles to participate in the competition drill.

At this point, Zhang Shixin still has some expectations for these knights.

It's just that the result made Zhang Shixin feel incredible.

It should have been something that could be done in about twenty minutes...... It took thirty minutes for the members of the Knights of the Cathar to be wiped out.

Zhang Shixin was very curious, one minute to set off, but it took two minutes to load the infantry, and when it was necessary to urgently build an infantry defense line, those people got out of the car and there was chaos, and as a result, there was almost no infighting among their own people.

Well, Zhang Shixin was shocked.

Compared with the rigid behavior mode of the summoners, this situation opened Zhang Shixin's eyes.

……

The second item is the comparison of step-tan synergy.

Zhang Shi thought to himself, this time there shouldn't be a mistake.

As a result, Zhang Shixin's expression was easily frozen......

The basic principle of infantry and tank coordination is that the infantry and tanks cover each other's advance. In a fairly simple phrase, infantry against enemy infantry units, and tanks against enemy heavy targets.

This situation is not absolute, because there is rarely such a thing as catching and killing on the battlefield.

Therefore, the role changes between the two sides will be changed according to the battle situation.

However, in contrast to the infantry of Zhang Shixin's summoning troops, the tank troops of the Knights of the Cathar took the lead in throwing the infantry troops a few hundred yards away and rushed into the wide streets of the town......

You don't need to judge to know that if you are really on the battlefield, these tanks will first be beaten to death by the group, and those infantry will face the onlookers of enemy tanks, plus the flanking attack of infantry units, and the end can be said to be dead......

Therefore, Zhang Shixin poked Binion's arm expressionlessly: "Don't say that these guys are army ......"

The latter blushed for a moment......

……

The next few trainings made Zhang Shixin feel that this Knights of the Cathar was in a sense comparable to the Italian army in North Africa during World War II (the Italian army on the Eastern Front still had several combat effectiveness good).

What follows, of course, is the main event, the live-fire exercises of various armored units capable of demonstrating the combat effectiveness of a unit (fog).

First of all, the fire support of the artillery units.

This fire support drill is mainly divided into three distances, 2 kilometers, 3 kilometers and 5 kilometers. The reference is a bunch of signs inserted in the ground.

As a result, Zhang Shixin's artillery unit had the bug of Eagle Eye, and the results achieved can be said to be quite good.

But when the artillery of the Knights of the Cathar conducted a drill...... Zhang Shixin glanced at the high-level leaders of the Knights of the Cathars, who could be said to have no eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "Should it be ......?"

The results confirmed Zhang Shixin's thoughts......

The accuracy of the 2,000-meter fixed target was okay when it was reported at the coordinate point, and many targets were blown up or blown to pieces.

It's just that half of the shells flew more than 100 meters or even more than 200 meters away, and this is not a tolerable situation.

What's more, the farthest shot was actually deflected 500 meters away......

After Zhang Shixin received this situation, he was speechless: "......""

The situation is even worse for the 3,000-meter fixed target...... The artillery shell that missed the farthest distance actually directly blasted a target two kilometers away......

This is clearly not an acceptable situation.

In contrast to this, the five-kilometre shelling had a dismal hit rate, with nearly 200 craters scattered across a large area, but very few targets fell.

According to Zhang Shixin's understanding, if these knight members are his subordinate gunners, I am afraid that the end will not be good. Whether it's the gunners, or the allies who need their support.

Because even if the whole army is not annihilated, the forward troops who have been smashed by their own people with heavy casualties will definitely attack them after the battle is over.

After all, a small number of accidental injuries are inevitable, but large-scale accidental injuries are obviously unforgivable behaviors.

Although it is true that only God knows where the shells landed, but well, like this kind of artillery accuracy, it is estimated that I can't see it.

In a more popular phrase: "Do you smash the enemy or your own people??? ”

Because the landing point of the shells, that is, the craters generated by the explosion, is actually more within the area of five kilometers, which means that if the enemy is at five kilometers, then it is naturally their own people within the range.

Zhang Shixin subconsciously shook his head at such a situation......

……

This was followed by a 500-meter exit of the tank and a fixed target firing at a distance of one kilometer.

As a result, Zhang Shixin's armored troops, after consuming the number of shells they carried, effectively eliminated about four-fifths of the targets at 500 meters and about two-thirds of the targets at 1,000 meters.

And the armored combat vehicles of the Knights of the Cathar are not too bad...... It's just that the battle time after firing the shells is too long.

Zhang Shixin had no choice but to smile at this situation and mess around.

It can be said that his performance towards these friendly forces can be described as being scorched by thunder. Although it is said that the other party's results are good, if they are put in actual combat, such results are really not available.

The other party is not a fixed target, and it will not let you take the roll call so slowly.

The fact that Dimitri commanded such a heavy number of casualties speaks volumes.

Well...... Although the situation was quite successful, Zhang Shixin was quite distressed when he saw such casualties.

……

Before Zhang Shixin left, he said a vague sentence to Binion: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I hope you can reorganize your troops." After all, this situation requires you to go to war with a good chance, and I don't expect some surprises to happen at that time. ”

When Binien heard Zhang Shixin's words, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she still forced a smile and nodded.

Anfield smiled a little, because for him, their plan for Zhang Shixin can be said to have succeeded.

Because, what they need this time is Zhang Shixin's words.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

In the next few days, Zhang Shixin was still leading the coalition forces to a stalemate with the Pope's [***] regiment.

In the cataclysmic area, the Hilton Empire, with the support of the Gultoka Empire, is about to successfully clean up the zombie hordes in the area.

As for the invading armies entrenched in the southeast and south of the Hilton Empire, they slowly carried the people in the controlled areas and retreated to their own countries.

At the same time, the top of the Knights of the Cathar, led by Binion and Anfield, succeeded in suppressing another faction of high-ranking officers and die-hard forces that they deemed unnecessary.

Although Zhang Shixin knew about this situation, he took a tacit attitude towards Binien and Anfield's approach.

……

Little did anyone know that the allied forces in the northeast of Hilton, as well as the decisive battle of the Pope's [***] regiment, would officially break out by chance......

ps: I didn't expect the time of the update to be so unstable near the New Year, so I had to say sorry again, sorry. (To be continued.) )
