When it comes to the essence of the defensive warfare of the Defense Force, putting aside a lot of professional terms, it can be summarized in one sentence.
——Drowned the opposite with shells.
Whether it is fixed defense or mobile defense, these are just forms. In fact, the elves are not particularly obsessed with the model. Because they lost the memory of the country wandering around in their early years, they were quite paranoid about the "land", but
Under the extremely realistic supreme leadership, the people are also acceptable to give up their territory in exchange for victory. Therefore, compared with other countries, the defense army is more flexible in tactical choices of defensive warfare and has more room for maneuver. Therefore, compared with its peers, the defense army is more flexible in tactical choices of defensive warfare and has more room for maneuver.
They only need to consider how to serve the weakness of the customer service force, effectively save themselves and kill the enemy as much as possible. The best way to achieve this goal is to shoot artillery and use enough black and hard to blow the invading enemy out of the air
Come.
On a strategic level, the main force of the Yalfheim ground forces is armored forces, which are more suitable for mobile combat, rather than positional combat. The basic combat idea of the defense army is to rely on fixed positions to carry out mobile combat, and the natural weakness of the number of soldiers is the number of soldiers.
The elf camp is ideal. Under the influence of the national character and advanced technology in pursuit of the ultimate in everything, these two combat modes have been pushed to the peak of exquisiteness and perfection in the hands of the defense army.
At present, the trench tactics of the countries are generally still at the level of a single-layer position. In order to avoid dispersing forces and concentrating firepower, soldiers are often concentrated in a single-layer position. Charlemagne basically followed this approach in the early stages of the war.
Moreover, in order to implement the offensive spirit, the village often uses the defense base for assembled troops, and does not pay much attention to the defense strengthening of the village itself. As a result, the defense army did not play according to the routine. As soon as the elves came up, they directly used artillery shells to clean the ground and destroy the front of the position.
The obstacles and foxholes of the converged Charlemagne army suffered major casualties, and even the reinforcements behind the trench were unable to move forward due to barrage shooting. The gathering troops were soon surrounded by the infantry of the defense army.
When the reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, the stronghold was conquered.
In contrast, the Defense Army built multi-layer positions and multi-layer deep defense lines from the beginning, which can sometimes reach 2,500 meters in depth, and trenches can reach 12. Moreover, the Defense Army did not simply disperse its troops evenly among them.
Among each trenches, a main line of defense will be determined, and then a large number of outpost positions, scattered trenches, auxiliary trenches, reverse slope positions, artillery positions, etc. will be dug in front and behind to support them. After careful calculation, use them near the barbed wire barrier.
Various light and heavy firepowers create a barrage area, and no one can pass through this death barrier.
"The front is the outpost position, which is equipped with only a small number of guards. When the attacking party consumes a large amount of shells to weaken the outpost position, the defense will use mortars and heavy artillery/field artillery sets deployed in the reverse slope position and artillery positions.
Fire strikes the infantry units at the outpost positions and uses the crossfire of infantry and machine gun positions to launch a counterattack when they approach the cover position, killing them back.”
Roland left a mark on his notebook that was suspected to be a mortar position, shook his head and wiped it off with an eraser.
“Forcing…mortar?”
He heard that the second-class private was almost fainting. He had been learning various military postures and steps before. Every day, he listened to the sergeant "first stretch out his right foot, right foot is located in front of the left foot, with a distance of 24 inches, stretching his left foot, and reaching his left foot.
The roar of the right toe is 17 inches in front of the "right toe." He kept repeating 76 steps per minute, 100 steps per minute when accelerating, 200 to 250 steps per minute when running, etc. For this big-headed soldier, Roland said
The stuff is simply incredible.
Fortunately, Roland did not ask him to understand, and would also explain the easy-to-understand parts.
"Mortar, you can understand it as a light mortar. Most of them are shells loaded from the muzzle, the shells slide down, hit the firing needle at the bottom of the barrel, causing the bottom fire to ignite ******* and push the mortar shells out of the muzzle.
This type of artillery does not have an anti-recoil device, and the recoil is directly transmitted to the ground by relying on the seat plate. Therefore, the mass is very light and the structure is simple, so one person can disassemble it. A 5-man gun group carries components and shells to accompany the infantry team to fight, which only takes a few
You can withdraw from the shooting position in minutes."
Lafayette swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He had never seen any shells that fell into the trench accurately, and his comrades who were blown away. With personal experience, he could reveal it from Roland, who was not very educated.
The information I sent out roughly sums up what an advanced thing it is.
A simple, lightweight mortar cannon that is almost only one tube and two racks is more accurate and fatal than its bulky counterparts.
"The high-spreading trajectory of the mortar cannon was originally suitable for bombarding trenches, but it is generally heavier, the battlefield is inconvenient to maneuver, and the rate of fire is relatively slow. The mortar has no such problem. It can transfer positions at any time and accompany the advancement of infantry. It can also be used as a result of the mortar.
Attack the enemy gathered on the back slope. The most terrifying thing is the rate of fire. The maximum rate of fire in the 81mm mortar can reach 25 rounds per minute, and the 45mm light rapid-fire mortar fired with magazines can maintain the maximum rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute.
There is no way to determine the number and location of these things just from the crater. As for the machine gun... I think I can see it very clearly."
Putting away the pencil and closing the notebook, Roland sighed slightly helplessly.
Based on the information collected alone, he could assert that the Charlemagne army... no, it should be that the army of any country now launches an attack on the fortifications in front of him. Regardless of its motive, this behavior can be characterized as murder.
In general, the elves are hardworking and hard-working soldiers. With sufficient civil engineering equipment and materials, they built a defensive zone that was far more practical and sturdy than the Maginot line of defense in just a short time.
In order to occupy a favorable defensive zone and have a broad vision and shooting range, the elves chose a high ground as the tactical support point for the main defensive zone. In addition to the artillery mentioned above, the machine gun position was also carefully designed, and two sets of condescending universal machine guns were also condescending.
The position forms cross-fire coverage on the wire mesh zone, and large-caliber heavy machine guns are deployed at the top of the high ground. In addition to air defense, it can also use parabolic ballistics to cover the barrage zone. Any infantry group charge can only be confiscated with a full army under such firepower strike.
, those machine gunners trained to hit targets 1,200 meters away will not let anyone leave alive. The elves have a high level of confidence in their machine gunners, and to protect them, each fire point is carefully selected and reinforced,
Some even use concrete and armor plates. There are as many as 12 machine gun fire points counted on the front of Roland, and those hidden fire points that are difficult to detect will only have more.
Finally, although it is not visible from here, based on his understanding of the defense army, he judged that due to the high terrain, there is almost no limit on the depth of the trench excavation. The defense army's trench depth is likely to reach 3 meters, and the underground bunker penetrates 12 kilometers underground.
There are several emergency exits and secret passages directly connect to the next trench behind. There is complete lighting, ventilation, drainage system, and even tap water may be installed in the bunker.
This can no longer be called a defense system. It is almost the same to say that this is a long tomb. To fill this tomb, many "military gods" are needed...
"Can't you use tunnels to blast?"
Lafayette asked in a low voice, arching his body behind Roland.
The tunnel blasting has become a "magic trick" for the armies of various countries to deal with trenches. When effective progress cannot be made on the ground, the generals turned their attention to the underground. The ancient method of digging tunnels to attack the city was turned out again, and everyone began to share the same situation.
Dig a hole and let the other party take a dirt plane.
"The trench opposite is quite deep, and if you want to dig it under them, the project volume will be quite large. Besides, they have mostly made preparations. As long as they measure the general direction, a large-caliber shell that delays the explosion can drive everyone in the tunnel.
Buried alive.”
The conclusion is very clear. It is impossible to break through the trench based on the current technology and tactics of the countries.
On the other hand, if it is Yalfheim's technology, or if it is imitating Yalfheim's technology and tactical thinking, is there a chance to make a breakthrough?
The answer is - very slim.
There is no doubt that chariots are the best choice to break the barriers of trench warfare. The indestructible mobile fortress, the powerful firepower that sweeps through everything, is enough to crush the wire mesh and cross the trench’s maneuvering power—these are exactly what is necessary to break through trenches.
Ability. But the problem is that high-end land combat equipment such as chariots are not sold exclusively monopolized by Alfheim. As the enemy, Charlemagne could not obtain it. Imitation... that would be even more tragic.
Thanks to the excellent intelligence system left by Lissaille, Charlemagne can still fully grasp the trends of countries outside of Yalfheim, including technological development trends. This allows Charlemagne to develop his own chariot
, can be used for "technical reference".
After the "Night of Long Swords", all countries have a deep impression of the chariots that made a big splash in this incident. Especially in the face of the results of a chariot annihilated a whole company of cavalry with zero casualties, they always hold on to the "mechanical equipment and slutty" in the face of the results of a chariot that annihilated a whole company of cavalry, and they always hold on to the "mechanical equipment and slutty" in the face of the results of a chariot that killed a whole company of cavalry, and they always hold on to the "mechanical equipment and slutty" in the face of the results of a chariot.
, It is not as reliable as a war horse" and other old ideas, granite heads, have to carefully examine the existence of chariots. Against the background of the trench war stalemate, everyone naturally thought of "Can they use chariots"
Break through the trench”…
The stimulation of war demand to technological development is direct and obvious. The extremely stingy financial departments in peacetime are always particularly generous at this time, asking people to give money and asking money. There are also many talents who dare to innovate and endure hardships in various countries.
, with ready-made references, the progress should be very fast, but the actual situation is not the case at all.
There is no God in the road to technological development, but only a barrier called "science".
With the smooth accumulation of Yalfheim technology and the comprehensiveness of the relevant industrial industrial system, it took more than ten years to build chariots from concepts to trial production, and then to standardized mass production. So far, mortars and rear
How could the countries that have not even been able to handle the seamless steel pipes that are equipped with rifles, create a war chariot overnight?
Although tanks are not as extensive as shipbuilding, they also involve a large number of technologies and systematic projects of supporting processing enterprises. Even though the Defense Army provided a full set of detailed drawings, there were no corresponding materials and professional technology, even rough imitations.
Even the product cannot be made. Not only does it not meet the design requirements, it often requires the blood and life of the soldiers to pay the tuition fee.
What countries now have on the drawing boards are works with many brain-opening works, each with different shapes and amazement. Most of them are evil works that implement the idea of "multiple riveting and steaming steel".
For example, Albion's diamond-shaped car body, the "water cabinet" with over-top tracks;
For example, Albion's "wheeled chariot" with the body and wheels integrated into one;
For example, the United Principality of Ross is code-named "Big Wheel Battleship" and the other one is "Tsar's Chariot", which has two front wheels with a diameter of 9 meters and a MA with a diameter of 1.5 meters;
For example, Vasily Mendelev, the son of the great alchemist of the United Principality of Ross, designed by Vasily Mendelev, is as heavy as a mouse-style super heavy chariot, and is equipped with "fashionable"
"Automatic propulsion gun" suspended by oil and gas;
...
Well, Chutchev, a famous poet in the Principality, had long complained about his compatriots: "Ros cannot be understood with reason, and it cannot be measured by general standards. What else can outsiders say
?They did not create an interlaced load-bearing wheel, which was already a true performance.
Compared with foreign colleagues, Charlemagne's military engineers are more rational, but the trial-made chariots "Schneider" and "Saint Shamon" they created are really... to describe them in Roland's mean words, that is, "Long
The elephant with antelope legs" and "written as a freak in combat chariots as assault guns". Even the prince was not optimistic about these weird designs, but the reason why this one looked down on them was that these two types of combat chariots
The design indicators cannot satisfy him. His Royal Highness, who was stimulated by the mouse-type super heavy tank in Kurmayeur, believed that the only one who could deal with the pointed-eared armored monster was his only one of them, and it would be thicker than the opponents' armor.
It is thicker, preferably has a diameter of 152mm...
Prince and designers who are obsessed with large-caliber artillery may not know what monsters they can create in the end according to their requirements. But Roland has foreseen that even if they are really successful, the one that will eventually appear in front of everyone will probably be a car.
Walking hut.
The thinking seemed to be a little too divergent, and Roland shook his head, who withdrew his thoughts.
Based on his understanding of the gap between the two sides, he knew very well that even if the toys on these drawings could be produced immediately and walked onto the battlefield, they would still be vulnerable in front of Li Lin's integrated attack on the animal army and the open space.
(...yes)
Roland looked at the other end of the trench thoughtfully.
The defense forces can break the deadlock at any time, but they did not do so. Why? Why did they choose to attack head-on rather than surprise attacks? And why did they stop here to build fortifications?
In order to figure out these problems, he came to the front line as a naval investigator to find clues.
The defense army's continuous defense line and powerful firepower made any close observation impossible. Even so, the information about changing troops, firepower configuration, constantly changing artillery positions and artillery types are enough to make him guess appear in this game.
"Sitting in a quiet war" and some outlines of "false war".
The abnormal actions of the Defense Forces are likely to be "waiting for the opportunity".
To completely defeat the opponent in the shortest time to avoid falling into the quagmire of attrition - this is the basic strategy of the defense army. Now that we have mastered our full advantage, we have stopped. It is impossible for the highest leadership to misjudgment the situation.
It won't be technical reasons, it's purely a tactical arrangement made to cooperate with the next action.
Calmness is only temporary, and even this temporary calm may be a gold coin placed on the trap. Whoever can take away the gold coin before the trap starts will gain an advantage in the subsequent battle and even win the war.
Suddenly, Roland stopped and stared at the chalk earthen wall with sharp eyes, as if he was about to penetrate the soil layer and the front line, and to see the situation opposite. (~^~)
