Chapter 402: You still think it's too simple!

But that’s okay. As a traverser, plagiarism is already the mainstay of his daily life. Naturally, he will not let go of this opportunity to improve the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion and make himself famous. So the prince picked up the putter next to the sand table, then took out several cavalry models and a car model from the war chess box next to them, and put them on the sand table.

Then with a light push with the putter, the newly joined cavalry and cars and the chess pieces that have just broken through the battle line, symbolizing the armored soldiers and the elite infantry, converged, and then the prince pushed these war chess further forward! Directly pushed this regiment to the enemy's second line of defense.

"Very good idea." Just as the prince made persistent efforts to push the artillery on the front line to the occupied position and establish a new starting position, Prince Leopold’s praise and applause already sounded. The prince knew that he The prince’s idea has been understood by the prince.

"Isn't your tactics like this? After using armored units and elite infantry to break through the opponent's line of defense, gather cavalry and a large number of vehicles to form a quick assault regiment with the breakthrough forces in front of you, and continue to develop toward the opponent's line of defense. Break, and then the infantry from behind will catch up to carry out a large-scale encirclement operation." Prince Leopold asked.

"Yes, it is like this." The prince said smugly, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"The idea is very good, but it is difficult to realize, at least not now." Prince Leopold said something like a basin of cold water and poured it down...

"Uncle, are you jealous? It must be jealous, I didn't think of it, but the younger generation figured it out, so I wanted to beat me?" The prince speculated maliciously in his heart.

"This is one of the basic principles of the blitzkrieg at the time. If possible, attack as deep as possible, attack the opponent's nodes and supply stations, and prevent the opponent from rebuilding the defense line. If there is an air force, it will be perfect! That’s how Germany was played in World War II. How can you say that mine was impossible. Now that there are trucks, tanks and assault guns, aircraft will soon be available, and the basic elements are all complete, although technical restrictions are not compatible. Compared with the 2nd war, but at least it is not a big problem to deal with a country like Russia.” The prince was very dissatisfied.

"Let’s not talk about the stability of the new breakthrough tanks and assault tanks. Let’s assume that these tanks are stable enough and have a range of at least 120 kilometers. Is this data very good?" Prince Leopold looked at his face. The prince who was filled with dissatisfaction was not angry, but patiently explained.

"Our wave of deduction can start from breaking through the opponent's first wave of defense. Just like its name, the breakthrough tank was born to break through the opponent's defense. I believe it can complete the task very well, but this kind of battle The car is not suitable to continue to attack in depth, eliminating the problem of reliability. The biggest problem is that its speed is too slow, and the speed in the field will not exceed 7 kilometers per hour when off-road. This speed is not faster than that of infantry."

"Think about it, our future battlefield is the Eastern Front. How big is Russia? And Russia's road conditions are very poor. Even if we break through the defense line, where should we attack next? We attack at a speed of 30 kilometers per day. Those supply points that are too widely distributed, or are they looking for a certain line of defense?"

"The Russians are not stupid. After a period of competition, the Russians will definitely be able to see that they are not our opponents in a frontal battle, so they will retreat decisively when the situation is unfavorable. How much can the frontline troops come out? How much, and on the vast Russian plains, how many enemy troops can your few armored units hold? How far can our frontal army advance?" Prince Leopold asked rhetorically.

Prince Leopold said the crux of the problem! It is still the limitation of the times, or the limitation of logistics, this is a problem that cannot be avoided in the first battle. It is true that the prince has already produced most of the hardware items needed for the blitz, but unfortunately, this only solves the problem of whether there is a problem, not the problem of quantity!

The blitzkrieg system of the German War II is a complete system, including armored units, mechanized infantry, and air force. After the armored forces cut the opponent's line of defense, another key issue is how to hold as many enemies as possible, which is directly related to the number of enemies that can be wiped out at once.

The prince understood what the prince meant. The Bavarian Legion's knives are now sharp enough, or the German knives in history are sufficient against Russia, but the mobility problem of a large number of troops still cannot be solved! You cut the opponent's defense line, but in order to hold the opponent, the infantry behind must also move fast enough!

It is true that the German army in World War II still needs mules and horses for maneuvering, but after all, there are hundreds of thousands of various cars in its hands, and the speed of movement is still much faster than that of conventional troops in World War I that rely solely on mules and horses. Even so, there will still be situations where insufficient supplies will affect the forward speed or unable to hold the opponent in the German 2nd game. In the first battle, even if the Bavarian Legion, which was unable to move its large forces at high speed, broke through its opponents, a small number of elite mechanized forces still could not contain most of the enemies~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if it continued to be interspersed, the effect was limited!

Then the question came, where did the prince find so many highly mobile troops? If you want most of your troops to be transported by trucks, then forget it. Even the Germans in the 2nd World War will have some difficulties. Your own truck is used to arm some of the elite troops, and then used to strengthen the supply is almost the same. What if the hundreds of thousands of troops are all pulled by trucks, and then the opponents are surrounded and wiped out.

"The only way to solve this tactical loophole is the cavalry! Only if we have a large number of cavalry, we can let them cooperate with the infantry behind to hold the opponent's large unit, and then annihilate it! Even our armored unit can also mix with the cavalry. Edit, use cavalry to make up for the lack of chariots and continue to advance in depth! No matter how bad, the cavalry can destroy and harass the opponent's logistics supply point and destroy the opponent's retreat." The prince thought for a while and said.

"It's a pity that we don't have so many cavalry in Bavaria. The Russians have an advantage in this respect." Prince Leopold said with regret.

"Cavalry, it is indeed a problem." The prince sighed. After the rise of automatic weapons, the cavalry has become a sunset arm, so the prince is not very interested in this arm, and even abolished it in order to save money to arm other armies. But from the present point of view, not only can the cavalry be indispensable, but it is also possible to continue to glow and heat on the eastern front in the future, and engage in a rebirth war!
