Chapter 1038: Deployment

Chapter 1038

Of course, this is for the Austro-Hungarian Legion. If the Bavarian Legion is the complex defense, it is enough to be frontal, who is the grandson! But if facing Austria, the Austro-Hungarian troops in the non-fortified zone will probably be devastated by these Russian cavalry version of the fast division, and if they can’t maintain a stable front, the reinforcements at the back will probably come up. Chaotic war can not form a joint force.

"Judging from the current deployment, the Russians deployed a large number of infantry and heavy artillery units on the front line of Lviv. It seems that they are preparing to gnaw off the hard walnut. On the two sides, they are deployed with cavalry, which seems to have to carry out long distances. Outflank and division. And our breakthrough division and rapid division can only feel the battlefield in the second wave. I am afraid that the number is also somewhat insufficient. The Austrian-Hungarian cavalry cannot cope with the strengthened Russian cavalry." The prince said.

"But I don't want to use the precious rapid force now, and even part of the strength of these four divisions is prepared for the Romanians." The prince said with some difficulty.

"In fact, we can form some fast light infantry units. If the Russians penetrate into our depths, their artillery will not be able to keep following. In other words, our fast force can’t use as many artillery as long as the artillery can Maintaining a balance of power, the remaining strong infantry equipment and mortars are enough to deter Russian cavalry attacks. As long as we can get in place in advance, infantry can easily block the cavalry." At this time, the prince’s chief of staff, Major General Hall said. .

"But the horses of the infantry maneuver need a lot of feed, which in itself also requires capacity. Unless we are willing to bear the large amount of non-combat attrition of horses." The Prince said.

"We can learn from Prussia and use bicycles to provide mobility for light infantry. A cheap bicycle can allow a soldier to wear full equipment and move at a speed of at least 12 kilometers per hour, and it can also be off the road when necessary. , As long as it is a hard road, country roads can also be used. Our assembly and reaction speed will definitely be greatly improved! The saved vehicles and fuel can be directly supplied to the armored forces and artillery!" Major General Hall said.

"You can try this. You can try to organize it." The prince thought for a while and said. Regarding the bicycle unit, there was indeed World War I, and the scale was relatively large. For example, in the Albion operation that captured the Gulf of Riga in history, there was an organization called the Second Bicycle Infantry Brigade in the German landing force... As for the history of the Second World War, when Shanxia Fengwen attacked the Malay Peninsula, the Silver Wheel Corps that chased the British across the street also relied on bicycles as a mobile tool. Of course, bicycle troops are definitely more mobile than humans, and they are more dependent on logistics than ordinary workhorses, but their carrying capacity is still limited, so it is still possible to deal with weak chickens or those with no fighting spirit.

However, if you want to assemble a bicycle force on a large scale, for example, several divisions... There is no problem with bicycles, but it is a problem with how to command and fight! No one has ever dealt with this thing, and the prince who is a traverser does not know how effective such a unit is...

"You can organize a division first. We expect to fight inside now. In any case, the key is to faint the troops. Don't think about the rest." The prince said.

After thinking of a method that was not a solution, the basic troop transfer has been completed. The air force’s transportation is more convenient. Just fly over. Considering that the Russians have more heavy artillery units, the prince arranged an additional bomber wing as a reserve team. After all, these things with a range of about 30 kilometers are not so good. Destroyed! And after such a long time, the Russian air defense must have improved somewhat...

When the Bavarian Army began to mobilize, the Austro-Hungarian Army also began operations. In addition to the two army groups remaining on the front line and the defenders of the Lviv Fortress, a large number of heavy equipment, aircraft and other corps also began. Gather on the front line. At the same time, the Hungarian Army began to concentrate on the border with Romania. When faced with huge benefits and the opponent is very weak, the Hungarians are still very motivated.

Considering that the firepower of the Russian army will increase this time, the Austro-Hungarian Army finally pulled out some housekeeping things, such as the 420MM Big Belsa heavy artillery! That’s right, these weapons that were originally used to attack the opponent’s heavy fortresses were used for defense. In fact, this artillery is a bit outdated in terms of performance. Of course, the projectiles weighing more than 800 kilograms are powerful, but they have a range of about 10 kilometers. It’s really a little too high. If it’s deployed in the field, it’s easy to be suppressed by the opponent’s longer-range train guns. However, this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire deployed 4 large Belsa heavy artillery at the rear of the fortress and placed them. Entered into the fairly solid gunhouse.

Considering that the number of long-range train guns converted by the Russians with 12-inch naval guns this time may exceed two digits, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also transferred six train guns with 12-inch L45 naval guns from the rear. It can reach a range of more than 29 kilometers at an elevation angle and is placed on a huge ring base. In addition, a series of artillery guns including 280MM and 305MM large-caliber mortars were deployed in the fortress area. These large-scale killers produced by Skoda are ready to go.

And in order to ensure that these artillery can fully function ~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Austrian Army assigned independent reconnaissance aircraft to the artillery to guide the artillery. At the same time, at the suggestion of the German staff, the Austrian Army reorganized all long-range artillery. A large number of 105MM and 150MM cannons were concentrated to suppress the opponent’s long-range artillery, while the large-caliber howitzers formed a blocking artillery group to replace troops to block breaches when necessary. "As long as the situation requires, we can concentrate more than 400 artillery of various types and calibers to block a certain area with a projection volume of about 10 tons per minute!" After readjustment, an Austro-Hungarian regiment said confidently.

On the eve of the official outbreak of the war, both sides were racing against time to prepare. The Russians were confident that they could severely inflict the Austro-Hungarian Army in this battle and open up the channel to the other's hinterland. And under the coercion and temptation of the Russians, Romania, which was originally the first rat, was finally a little ready to move. At least some of the authorities believed that the Romanian troops of the four armies began to slowly gather towards the border, but what they did not expect was that, On the other side of the border, two well-equipped Hungarian armies are standing by. Although only half of the former is in force, the artillery is more than twice that of the opponent! The Romanian regiment of 4 armies only has 500 artillery pieces! The war is about to start!
