Chapter 210: Choice! The will of the empire! (IV)

The successive victories since the war have made the officers and soldiers of the armored troops generally proud and arrogant. They not only despise the Russian army in front of them, but also often despise other troops of the friendly forces.

At the same time, in order to ensure the maneuverability of the deep assault and reduce the pressure of logistics supply, the armored corps has long been "Flying Ting", "Flying Wolf" "Light Warriors, "Jie Fox", "Hunter Dogs", etc.

Ultra-light machine gun combat vehicles are the main equipment. Although these vehicles have good maneuverability and low supply consumption, their armor and firepower are very limited, and they appear to be increasingly developed before the Russian army's continuous development of anti-war vehicles.

Fragile.

In addition, the shortcomings of mobile infantry and mobile artillery that can closely accompany chariot assault also limit the power of deep assault of the chariot troops.

Each armored brigade with two chariot battalions under its jurisdiction has another mobile infantry battalion. The motor artillery battalion under its jurisdiction is equipped with 21 artillery and mortars. This part of the support force is compared with nearly 100 chariots in the entire brigade.

The words are already a bit thin, and under the premise that advanced technology and equipment are given priority to supplement the Siberian theater troops in the early stages of the war, the equipment levels of the armored brigades in the Central Asian theater are actually uneven.

For example, by the launch of the spring offensive in 1916, more than half of the armored brigades of the Central Asian Front equipped the traction artillery of the mobile artillery battalion with half-tracked or fully tracked tractors, while only about one-third of the armored brigades adopted the mobile artillery battalion.

One of the towed artillery companies was replaced with a self-propelled artillery company, and only one-third of the armored brigades were equipped with half-tracked armored personnel carriers for their motorized infantry.

In this way, the strength of the mobile infantry and artillery units that can accompany the combat chariot troops to conduct long-distance off-road assaults is quite limited. Practice has proved that infantry and artillery units that ride ordinary trucks or carriages cannot be in the field far away from the road

Accompanied by chariot assault.

In order to strengthen the strength of the assault cluster as possible, the commander sometimes had to carry the infantry on the chariot and the chariots to pull the artillery, but there was not much space for light and ultra-light chariots equipped as the main force.

The extra task of riding infantry and traction artillery will also seriously affect the maneuverability of the tank.

As a remedy, the cavalry units were assigned to assault clusters in an organized manner, and sometimes even a whole cavalry brigade was assigned to a chariot battalion, but many problems were exposed in actual combat: the cavalry targets on the battlefield were too obvious and very easy

It is killed and injured by enemy fire; cavalry must constantly supply feed regardless of whether they are operating or not. In areas where feed is difficult to collect on-site, it will put a heavy burden on supply; cavalry dismounted to fight are far less effective than infantry...

In fact, even the Northern Army, which received the right to replenish equipment, was troubled by insufficient support forces. In Lu Kaiping's view, the original armored force organization and equipment system obviously could no longer meet the actual needs of the current battlefield.

After careful thinking and regardless of the burden he was carrying, Lu Kaiping presented Liang Tianhe with a ten thousand words letter, explaining his ideas on reforming the imperial armored soldiers. While Liang Tianhe was very grateful, he agreed to present the book to the base camp. However,

Two months later, the journey was long. In addition to the half-tracked armored personnel carriers and half-tracks in the army, the number of fully tracked tractors increased. Lu Kaiping has not yet seen any signs of fundamental change in the situation he was worried about.

After the Battle of Jusaray, the Chinese army became cautious, while the Russian army fought and retreated. By the end of May, the front had advanced thousands of kilometers to Orenburg. At this time, the Chinese army's supply line began to tighten, and they received reinforcements.

The Russian army built a new line of defense along the Ural River with Orenburg as the center.

Break through this line of defense and then capture the water and land transportation hub on the banks of the Volga River - Samara, and then head to the water transportation center in the lower reaches of the Volga River - Chalizin (another famous Stalingrad in the history of World War II in time and space. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was renamed.

Volgograd) marched, and while cutting off the rear route of the Russian Caucasus Front, it completely cut off the Don-Volga water transportation system, making it impossible for Ukraine and the Caucasus resources to be transported to Moscow and St. Petersburg's industrial zones through this efficient and cheap channel.

——The above are the strategic goals of the Central Asian Front in the war situation in the second half of 1916.

"I think the biggest lesson of the Battle of Jusare is that some commanders lack the ability to deal with emergencies and are frightened by the sudden losses in front of them. At the critical moment, confidence was shaken and stopped. As a result, they missed the opportunity and delayed.

I made plans and screwed up the whole situation.”

Faced with the deflated performances of the generals, Liang Tianhe was not polite and pointed at the fingertips of Lu Kaiping, who was always caring.

"I can't believe it myself, so what else can I believe? Our situation is so good compared to the Northern Army, and I am not satisfied?"

"Even if it is deeply trapped in the quagmire and has many difficulties, seven days later, in order to prevent the enemy on the Ural Mountain defense line from having the opportunity to go south to reinforce the enemy in Orenburg, the Northern Army will still forcibly launch a full-line attack."

"Friends are preparing to fight for our chances of victory with their sacrifice! But we are hesitant and twitching here. Are they still men or emperors?"

The commander-in-chief's reprimand made the generals bow their heads in shame - except for one person, he was wearing a rare and conspicuous three-colored uniform. He was only in his thirties, but he was already a major general and tall.

He is thin and has a broad face, and he cannot hide a sense of rebelliousness and transcendence in his eyes.

His name is Liang Gensheng, former captain of the Ninth Secret Services of the Army Air Force. He personally led his troops to carry out the enemy's bridge capture operation in the Battle of Oahu, the Battle of Malaya, and the Battle of Irkutsk, which was a victory for the battle.

He played a key role and was known as the "bridge-capturing hero" in the army. He is currently the commander of the Special Operations Command directly under the base camp, controlling all special operations units of the Army and Navy.

As a member of the Time Travel Group and one of the "Six-Part Group" of Her Majesty the Queen, Liang Gensheng does not have to be in front of Liang Tianhe, who is also a member of the Time Travel Group, but is burdened by Liu Bailiang's "August Incident".

I was so awe-inspiring, not to mention this time, Liang Tianhe still asked for him.

Automatically ignoring Liang Gensheng's arrogant attitude, Liang Tianhe snatched the horse whip from Yan Canglong's hand and pointed at him with great momentum.

"The plan is very simple. The Fifth Army used part of the enemy in Orenburg to restrain the frontal enemy. The main force launched an attack from the Gorodyse to the Dedurovka section west of Orenburg, and dragged the guards in the hilly areas on the north bank of the river.

military."

"At the same time, the First Imperial Guards Army attacked the section of the Viazovka to Ostrovnoy, east of Orenburg, with all its strength. After forming a breakthrough, it immediately entered the assault cluster of the Second Armored Army.

Development victory.”

"The assault cluster should quickly cross the triangular plains between the Ural River and the Oren River, cross the Oren River in Sakmara, pass through Svetre, and detour to Kalga, northwest of Orenburg

On the Rai-Perevolotsky railway section, the traffic line between the enemy in front of Orenburg was cut off in one fell swoop. Then, they worked together with the Fifth Army and the First Imperial Guards Army, which attacked the enemy, divided and surrounded and annihilated.

”

Liang Tianhe paused here and looked up at the generals: "I've said it clearly enough, right?"

Xu Hun, Zhao Minhe and Yan Meng nodded at the same time.

Liang Tianhe glanced at Lieutenant General Yong Yang, the commander of the Army Second Aviation Group, wearing a sky blue uniform, and waved his whip to the sky: "In this battle, the mission of the Second Aviation Games is to use all its strength, regardless of

All conditions, at all costs, ensure the deep progress of the assault cluster. Do you understand?"

Fang Yongyang's feet were together and his body bounced: "I understand, Erhangji will do his best to meet all the requirements of the assault cluster!"

Finally, Liang Tianhe's obviously much more kind eyes fell on Liang Gensheng's face.

"In this battle, we will also receive support from the special forces directly under the base camp. For the specific situation, Commander Liang, who came from the capital, please-"
