379 The slaughter of the Lord
In 1668, the fierce attrition of the anti-Han allies and the Axis powers on all fronts in Germany continued.
As the war dragged on, the number of veterans of the anti-Han Allied army was gradually increasing, and the coordination of the crowd offensive began to generally improve, and the battle loss ratio gradually rose from 1 to 8 to 1 to 6, but when it was close to 1 to 5, the speed of recovery decreased sharply.
After all, the natural gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and will to fight cannot be bridged, and the strengthening of tactics and combat experience is still insufficient.
Relying on the huge human resources in the rear, the anti-Han allies established a large number of recruit training camps, and the veteran qualified officers who had been crippled in the frontline and had no soldier command, as well as the civilian officers who had recently been promoted because of their military merits, were recruited by the Allied countries to recruit new soldiers in various places, and then brought to the recruit training camps established in various places for training, and after the training, they were the new subordinates of these officers.
Later, he was taken to the large barracks in the big cities to reorganize the troops, and after being uniformly given the establishment, he obeyed the orders of the combat headquarters of the anti-Han alliance countries and transferred to the front line to replenish them.
As the war dragged on, the system was being improved and frugalized, and as the number of casualties continued to rise, the anti-Han allies had to move the date of payment of pensions to after the end of the war, and the security of the soldiers was further reduced.
However, in the face of the negative propaganda of the anti-Han Allied Powers against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the fighting morale of the vast majority of anti-Han Allied civilians who believed in God was relatively good.
After all, no one wants to be a slave to a foreign race, especially when it comes to faith.
After the merger, the accession of the Kingdom of Great Britain further improved the human resources of the anti-Han allies, and more British expeditionary forces landed in northern France through the English Channel, and continued to march towards the German front and join the battlefield!
Relying on the huge national strength and manpower superiority, the two main offensive fronts of the anti-Han allies were still able to maintain a strategic offensive posture, and the war between the two sides developed more and more towards a brutal World War I, the only difference was that because advanced artillery and machine guns were not invented, the trenches on both sides were neither deep nor long, and they mainly relied on ground fortifications to fight each other, rather than 'underground fortifications'.
As a cheap infantry weapon, grenades were used on a large scale, and became almost the standard individual weapon of the anti-Han allies, and of course, for the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly King's Guard.
In the long battle, the anti-Han allied forces even used captured Mini rifles to arm independent elite rifled rifle infantry regiments.
It's just that these rifled rifle infantry, which is only a few thousand people, is not very useful in the meat grinder where tens of thousands of people are fighting, and the Tianwang Guards also use Mini rifles, and in the counter-fire, the firepower can easily suppress the rifled rifle infantry regiments of the anti-Han alliance.
Therefore, these rifled rifle infantry regiments were only a consolation in most cases in the anti-Han allied forces, and the main tactics of the anti-Han allied forces were to rely on the superiority of troops to close the distance between the two sides as much as possible, and then carry out bayonet assaults.
At the time of the fierce war between Germany and Germany, the anti-Han allies in the Italian peninsula were in danger of collapse.
Under Hong Tiancheng's strict orders, the 9th and 10th Heavenly Kings Guards Divisions pursued and attacked the remnants of the retreating coalition forces of the Italian Peninsula countries regardless of casualties, and finally completely defeated all the main forces of the coalition forces of the Italian Peninsula countries after entering the Milan area.
Since then, the countries of the Italian peninsula have erupted in panic from top to bottom, and there are not many troops to fight against the Taiping Army's Miero, Tuscany, Genoa and other bordering countries, and they immediately sent representatives to express the 'goodwill of peace talks' to the Taiping Army commanders.
The 9th and 10th Divisions, on the basis of the disarmament of the three divisions, agreed to the agreement that they would retain their own government and surrender, and from then on, Milan, Genoa, and Tuscany withdrew from the war while retaining their autonomy.
As for the other small countries, because they were too late, they were directly forcibly occupied by the Taiping army of two divisions, and then the Swedish senior smoothbore gun regiment was stationed.
The weapons used by the 10,000 Swedish veteran smoothbore rifle infantry regiments under Hong Tiancheng's command are slowly being reloaded, and the Mini rifles left behind after the death of the Taiping Army's Heavenly King Guards are being transported to the Venice area to be reequipped with the Swedish senior smoothbore rifle infantry regiment that is loyal to Hong Tiancheng's personal system.
Hong Tiancheng also abolished the word 'smoothbore gun' in his establishment and changed it to a Swedish senior infantry regiment.
The story of this infantry regiment in the Venice area, following the two divisions of the Taiping Army's Tianwang Guard, to occupy and consolidate the place, spread throughout the anti-Han Allied Countries, and almost even the well-informed civilians at the bottom knew that there was a large Swedish infantry regiment that was working for Hong Tian.
The effectiveness here does not refer to the 'second-rate' forces of the Han Army, which are useless except for the oppression of white civilians and the suppression of guerrillas.
When the two divisions of the Taiping Guards were marching straight into the Italian peninsula, the anti-Han Allied Switzerland had dispatched a regular army of several thousand men to try to capture Venice and completely cut off the two Taiping Guards that had penetrated deep into the Italian peninsula.
Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the Swedish senior infantry regiment stationed in Venice and returned to his hometown......
The combat effectiveness shown by the Swedish veteran infantry regiment is not weaker than the elite of the regular army fighting on the front line of the anti-Han allied army!
With such an army to protect the back route, the two dissatisfied Taiping Army Heavenly King's Guards Division disarmed the Three Kingdoms, swept away the small countries at the entrance to the Italian Peninsula, and marched into the dead duck-billed Papal States.
The slogans of the Papal States are the loudest, but the resistance is the weakest.
The rotten upper echelons of the Church are not able to fight at all, and the Knights of the Church are obviously not able to adapt to firearms warfare.
In the battle of annihilation with the Papal States, thousands of ancient knights of the Church who were pious launched a decisive charge against the line of the Taiping army's platoon battles!
As a result, under the volley of captured Italian front-loading howitzers and mini rifles, thousands of Church Knights who had volunteered their lives for the Lord were wiped out, and their bodies were spread over the plains several miles wide, and they died very 'evenly'......
The assessment of this battle by the top brass of the anti-Han allies was simple - it was not a war, but a massacre of pagans against the believers of the Lord!
After the First World War, the Catholic elite of the Papal States fled from Rome en masse, and the prosperous old city of Rome and the Papal States fell into the hands of the Taiping army unharmed......
The only commendable act of the Taiping army was that they did not destroy historical and cultural monuments, after all, in Hong Tiancheng's eyes, these things were his own property.
