Chapter 1079: Hurricane Suddenly

Chapter 1079 Hurricaneous Advance (1)

Ruprecht and Markensen then finalized the details of the cooperation between the two armies. The prince happily assigned the four Bavarian divisions and more than 70% of the air force, as well as the remaining vehicles and horses, to Markensen. And directly opened the material warehouse in Bavaria to him. After getting a series of enhancements, the prepared Mackensen Army is finally ready to show off!

"Seriously, I feel that this army under our feet has spanned several eras. I saw the cavalry of the Teutonic period, the infantry of Frederick the Great, and modern chariots and self-propelled artillery... "Goring drove his J-1 fighter jets from low altitude. The Prussian army forward troops were moving fast on the ground. The dust from the horses and vehicles almost covered half of the sky. It's impossible to say that the scene of the ten thousand people pushing the past is not shocking.

Mackensen broke the restrictions between the divisions. In order to rush to the predetermined area as soon as possible, he completely disrupted all the cavalry, more than 30% of the self-propelled artillery and several bicycle assault camps, like a cocktail, and made 3 Assault brigade. These units used the Russian cavalry assault division, a large number of mounted infantry and truck guns as the basis, and then added some armored vehicles to season the way. Finally, don't forget to decorate the air with a few planes. that is it! Mackensen's quick cocktail adjustment is successful!

The three rapid assault brigades were placed in front of the main force in the shape of a product. This is a genuine brigade, a brigade of 9,000 people, at least 3,000 mounted infantry, more than 50 barrel artillery, more than 100 heavy machine guns and large-caliber machine guns, plus more than 120 mobile and armored vehicles to accompany the advance. Don’t count the ones that provide logistical transportation later, just this situation? Stronger than the general Bavarian Army. And it is the only one in Prussia.

"The so-called horses don't eat weeds and are not fat, and people have no foreign wealth and are not rich. I finally understand what it means." Mackenson looked at the army that was rushing to the front like a torrent of steel. He finally understood what he meant when he asked the prince how to improve his army's equipment level!

Equipment is never enough, but at least you have to allocate enough equipment to the most important part. Why can Mackenson directly save nearly 30,000 fast troops this time? On the first day, in the case of a war, rushed 45 kilometers! This is no one! This record has not even been played by the Bavarian Army! Why is there such a record? It is definitely a very important point for Mackensen to search for the "surplus materials" of the Bavarian Army before the fight.

And now, the combat effectiveness of this force really makes people feel that it is worth the money. "Where did they go?" Withdrawing his thoughts, Mackenson asked.

"The Russians did not realize our actions on the first day, and there were not many people blocked, but if we go deeper, we will encounter two Russian defenders. Here, the second and third assault brigades may be in trouble. , And the first assault brigade to the west can move on." The staff officer pointed to the map and said.

"It's going to be tough." Mackensen said to himself. "How much bomb quota does His Royal Highness give us? First take out 150 tons." With the continuous assault of the troops, they have entered the depths of the Russians, and it is naturally impossible for the Russians to watch you hit their roots. Broken, so more and more troops will be mobilized immediately, and whether the long sword in his hand is a real artifact or made of wood, it will soon be known. To be honest, without a large number of tanks and assault artillery, Mackensen was really a little uneasy.

"Well, we don't have that many bomb quotas for these two days." The staff officer said embarrassingly.

"Isn't there a total of 300 tons in the first 4 days?" Mackensen said dissatisfied.

"Well, you depend on the delivery distance of the bomb. 300 tons is within 80 kilometers. We are already 120 kilometers..." the staff officer said embarrassedly.

"These short-legged chickens..." Mackenson said silently.

At this time, Baron Merlin, who was commanding the Third Assault Brigade, was also preparing to usher in his first battle after he was promoted to colonel. This Bohemian nobleman once participated in the battle to encircle the Russians at the beginning of the war. And after being promoted by Major General Eric, he was assigned to the newly established rapid force. Now, he and his troops are working under Mackensen. Because the previous record is pretty good, he can command a rapid assault. trip. This time, he faced a Russian division...

The enemy on the opposite side is also an old bird on the battlefield. Major General Gross, who had brought the Donetsk Division to the Bavarian Army for the first time, came to the battlefield again. When he learned that the other party was a brigade, he did not show the slightest sense of ease. It is true that there are not many enemies on the opposite side, but unfortunately, the Russian division at this time is no longer the Russian division at the beginning of the war. .

That's right, you read that right, the combat effectiveness of ordinary Russian troops is not even as good as before the war! As for the reason? It's very simple. Experienced veterans die one after another. The recruits are either older veterans or those who don't understand anything. It's a ghost if this combatant can be qualified! As for the equipment, although the production capacity has increased, the loss in the front-line battle is also great, coupled with the expansion of the army and the unfavorable traffic factors, and the need to build some fist troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~So what equipment can the general army have? , You can think of it with your knees! After the loss of the original assault division of the Russian Seventh Army, the ordinary Russian division was swept away by the light infantry... This is the situation on the battlefield!

And if it were placed at the division level of its own, then the situation was like this. The 15,000 troops were nearly 4,000 fewer than the Russian division before the war, and the number of all guns was less than 30, which was a reduction of at least one third. And they are all 3-inch rapid-fire guns, no howitzers above medium caliber, and 80 machine guns...

And Gross's troops were also urgently mobilized here. Don't talk about the defense line when encountering opponents. Even the artillery troops are 7 kilometers away from the front line, and they can hardly reach the front line... Then, Major General Gross took this unit and Baron Merlin's 3rd Assault Brigade just got together!

"Uh, there is no defense line? So what are you waiting for? Let's just get ready to fight!" After Baron Merlin walked around the front in person, he decisively issued an offensive order. Finally, I don’t forget to add, "Move faster, we are short on time, we have to hurry!"
