Chapter 49 The Great Era Part 8: Special Operations Group-1
Vinnica, Rostov's battle has begun.
The scene is similar.
The enemy all approached their heavy artillery to the range and then bombarded the Truchens' positions, but the problem was that they all came from afar and carried only twelve-pound cannons. The range of this artillery is currently only two miles away.
If you want to reach about four miles, you have to wait until the Napoleon era.
The eleven centimeter and twelve pounds of the Truchens' standard field cannon not only weighs lighter, but also has a range of three and a half miles. This is because Qitad lost its weight in pursuit of lightness. Otherwise, it would be inevitable that it would exceed the range of the Napoleon bronze cannon.
The range of more than 12 cm is even longer.
So, when the enemy tried hard to set up the cannons, they were immediately bombarded by Truchen Cannons.
After a few rounds, the enemy's remaining guns were either scrapped or extremely lacking artillery.
However, Qitad faces not the nomadic tribes, but the Russian army, which has also entered the modern and modern military level. Seeing that the artillery attack is not good, they will not put a lot of manpower on the attack with tactical human seas.
The tunnel excavation has been shown in the Seven Years War, and has been brought to the extreme with Suvorov, a fortification genius.
In history, Laudon was one of Suvorov's two idols (the other was Rumentsev, who had been sniped by Qitad). Laudon was also good at fortification construction. When the master and apprentice formed a plan, they started digging a tunnel outside the city of Vinnica.
It seemed that the city of Rostov was different. After the artillery attack failed, at Minnech's suggestion, the tunnel excavation tactic was also adopted.
And he was the first to use the human wave tactic.
The range of artillery, especially cannons, is very long, but it cannot take care of nearby areas. If you dig the tunnel to about fifty to one hundred meters away from the enemy's position, you can emerge in large quantities from the tunnel, and then use the sea of people to attack the enemy.
If the enemy is still using a flintlock rifle at this time, then the attacking party can quickly pounce on it using the loading gap. If it is brave enough, it is very likely to seize the position.
Unfortunately, whether it is Minnech, Salticov, Golds, or Suvorov, or Laudon, they have encountered a perverted firepower network.
The long-range field cannons are covered, the medium-range mortars are included, the short-range short-range cannons are included, and there are three consecutive rifles and grenades at the nearest. Such dense firepower makes them suddenly realize what life is worse than death.
Although Rostov has 50,000 newly formed serf soldiers, they are not afraid of death, but they still find it difficult to get close to Truchen's position.
There were no serf soldiers in Vinnica, and they were all regular troops composed of people from at least civilians. Obviously, they could not be consumed like this. So, after the battle started, Vinnica was intermittent, but Rostov never stopped.
The battle will not end in a short while.
....
Elista.
This city in the desert is still bustling.
Although it is a desert, it is obviously not as serious as later generations. There are rivers nearby and mountains producing gems, with only 15,000 acres of land (before the military farm). The weather is dry and not as wet as the North Caucasus in winter. Although it is far less abundant than Stavropol, it is still regarded as the capital by Qitad.
It's early April, a nice sunny and breeze-like weather.
CIA.
Noelb, Deng Ce, and Yesmu are tasting tea.
Nolbu was asked by Qitad to come back, and Qitad's words still linger in his ears.
"According to our careful deployment, if there is no accident, the overall situation has been decided, but it takes time. The Russians will not admit defeat so quickly. The situation in Europe is changing rapidly. Austrians and Prussians will take action according to changes in the situation."
"After all, in their eyes, our country is still a country that poses great threat to the Christian world. In order to eliminate this threat, they will not hesitate to unite with the Islamic world"
"I can't see any chance of turning the tables, but nothing is absolutely true. Our country does have military advantages, but it's better, and there is no absolute advantage"
"If I guess correctly, the British who have been hit hard by our country must have been involved, but we don't know if they are involved."
"In my opinion, the Russians should have a backup plan. Apart from the possible increase in Austria, they can only be Prussians. For Frederick, the two-way alliance has just expired, and his status in Europe is not stable. Continuing an external war will allow him to re-establish prestige"
"Because he is close to Poland under the control of the Russians, if it were him, he would most likely be stationed in southern Northern Poland, or Silesia with British, Prussian, and Danish reinforcements."
"For the European world, the Principality of Ukraine can be destroyed and abandoned, and we have to be guarded against"
"The Ottoman has been hit hard by our country and should not be able to directly send troops to deal with us. I have warned the Ottoman Sultan through our ambassador that if he intervenes in this war between our country and Russia, then his European territory will leave him forever"
"I believe he will consider this carefully"
"The other direction is Persians and Afghans, but Persian Karim Khan is old and the power is basically in the hands of the eunuch Aga. Aga has a good relationship with our country, so there should be no big problem"
"As for Afghan Durani, it is indeed possible to join forces with the Bukhara Khanate to attack our country's Hualazimo and Kazakhstan areas, but I believe that our country's Hualazimo legion, the Sheling Legion, should be able to withstand it"
"There is the Qing Dynasty, but they don't have much troops in the northern and southern borders. If they want to dispatch troops, it will be at least three months later. At that time, the war will probably be over."
"So, as long as everything is normal, at least three months, and at least half a year, the war will probably end"
"In fact, the reason why I have been slow to start a war with the Russians is that I am afraid of being besieged by the entire European world if I am not prepared"
"So, even if the war is over, we will become the number one enemy in the European world. At that time, they will definitely unite with the Ottoman Empire to deal with us"
"I decided to take action now because our country has basically met the conditions to remain unbeaten when facing all the sieges of the enemy. By then, European countries will definitely not be a monolithic, and there will always be a chance to appear"
"Anyway, they can't defeat us militarily, so they can only think of another way, and they have already started, and assassinating Qilibu is just the first step"
"Thinking of the mysterious assassin organization and Chilibu's death, I thought of the former Zerbk Dolphi and others. We can't just stare at this assassin organization. Is there no other secret organization?"
"You go back first, there is nothing big about here. If I do, please think carefully"
When Nolbu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel heavy.
After a while, he looked at the three of them. They were all people who were highly trusted by Qitad, so he finished his words.
"That's it, you guys see, how should we start?"
Deng Ce thought for a while and said, "First of all, I think that whether it is the Assassin faction or the potential secret organization, the target they are dealing with is definitely valuable. Who is the most valuable? Of course, it is His Majesty and his relatives."
"Your Majesty's sons are already adults, so, like Wobasi and Timur will not become their targets. His Highness Zahatai hardly goes out now, and they have no chance. Therefore, the second highness of the guardian of South Africa, Onktai, and Toure, who guardian of Bangladesh, are possible"
"What we need to do is to send ships to remind them immediately, especially in Bangladesh, where the situation is complicated and the race is complicated. Maratha, Mughal, Assam, Bangladesh, Alakan, Myanmar, the people are similar in appearance, and it is really hard to defend against."
"Timur has to be careful, the sticking rods of Qing people will not stop there"
"But the focus is not on these places, but here"
"Your Majesty's palace is too small, with only one battalion guards and one battalion female soldiers guarding. His Highness's eldest daughter Tana, fourth son Ashina, and second daughter William Minna may all become their targets"
Asina, Jaen's son, is only eleven years old this year.
William Minna, Anna's daughter, is only five years old this year.
As for Tana, she is the oldest child of Qitad. For example, the current prince Zahatai is one year older and is Jiaen's eldest daughter. She is twenty-one years old this year and is studying for a graduate student at Truchen University. This girl is lively and bold. Except for Qitad, everyone else can't control her. She often sneaks out alone to wander around the city.
"It's mainly Princess Tana. Although there are two female soldiers around her who have been following her, and these two have also been trained by the Intelligence Bureau, they still have to be extremely careful"
Norbu nodded, "Since the Judd and Chilibu incident, I have made arrangements. The eldest princess should not go out casually before the war is over. I bought places I often go to in the Royal Palace of Ellista City. Princess Tana likes to go to have spies, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"What's more, Your Majesty has many children, and they cannot all be targeted. The biggest goal is His Majesty himself, but he is in the military camp and has almost no contact with the outside world. I really can't think of any means they have"
"By the way"
Deng Ce seems to have thought of something.
"Lower after our country took down Kuban, it was where Mrs. Jaen grew up, and she met Khan there. After the Russians occupied this place, the former Khan Palace was also turned into the Governor's Mansion, and it did not change its appearance. His Majesty had agreed to take the eldest princess Tana and the fourth prince Ashina to stay there for a while"
"Although the Sea of Azov has begun to thaw, there are still many ice radiators and the wind on the sea is extremely strong. I have persuaded her to take the land route. From Elista to Cuban, the conditions in our country are still acceptable and can pass without obstacles, but there is still a difficult journey of about fifty miles in the Cuban area"
