Chapter 404: Chariot and cavalry

So now is the last question, where do the cavalry regiments for large-scale mobile operations come from? The first thing to be sure is that the Bavarian Army cannot afford a large cavalry. After all, on the one hand, these things are too edible, and on the other hand, the Bavarian Army needs to invest limited funds in the construction of vehicles and armored forces.

In the end, according to Prince Leopold’s suggestion, the assault tank No. 1 prototype equipped with machine guns can be produced in small batches after some improvements. When it comes to the choice of breakthrough tanks, the prince tends to do both, while Prince Leopold prefers to only engage in the breakthrough tank No. 2 equipped with a 75mm short gun, but now this tank has a lot of improvements. room. Stability also exists for you, so the final plan is to get the site right first, and then decide which to produce.

; In theory, Prussia has a large number of cavalry, although the proportion is not high, but the huge number of German troops multiplied by the ratio can also make up tens of thousands of cavalry. However, this is of no use, because this person is from Prussia! If nothing else, if Germany has to make a blitz on the western front, most of the domestic military power will probably be used on the western front. The eastern front may be maintained by the Prussian group army or even half of the group army and the Bavarian army!

The German Emperor agreed that the Bavarian Army would be responsible for the Eastern Front in future operations against Russia, and also agreed to the expansion of the Bavarian Army, and even tacitly agreed with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to establish a rapid force plan. These concessions are to be reciprocated! Facing the Russian army, who are you not against? Perhaps after a breakthrough on the Western Front, the German Army will adjust its strategy, but at the beginning of the war, the Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian Army can only deal with the Russian army!

Fortunately, although there are not as many cavalry as Maozi in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bala is not too small. After the outbreak of the war, Germany and Austria also deployed 12 cavalry divisions on the eastern front, and the Austrian-Hungarian cavalry divisions There are 11! With 11 cavalry divisions, this is also a fairly powerful mobile force. In history, the cavalry of the two sides fought almost as vassals of the infantry. They mainly engaged in reconnaissance and short assaults. It did not say that several divisions launched breakthroughs and then conducted interspersed battles.

; The reason is very simple, on the not wide front, the two sides have concentrated nearly 140 divisions! Among them, there are 52 Russian infantry divisions and 21 cavalry divisions! There are 15 German infantry divisions and 1 cavalry division. The Austro-Hungarian Army has 37.5 infantry divisions and 11 cavalry divisions. If it weren't for the Second Austro-Hungarian Army to move back and forth on the Eastern Front and the Balkan Front, but it was not used, then the strength of the troops would be even greater! under these circumstances. There is no way for the cavalry to open a gap in the thick infantry line.

The Russian army with superior strength not only violently beat the Austro-Hungarian Army, which was relatively weak in combat effectiveness, but also invaded East Prussia. If it were not for the Russian army to choose two attack directions at the same time, and a gap appeared between the two armies that attacked East Prussia due to coordination problems, the battle of Tannenberg in Hindenburg might not have achieved such great results, but even so, the Russian army Despite the heavy losses in East Prussia, the Austro-Hungarian army was still hit hard.

; "Bavaria provides breakthrough power, Austria-Hungary provides mobile interspersion power!" Finally the prince set up such an action plan. In fact, although Austria-Hungary was defeated, there are many fortresses and continuous fronts on the Russian-Austrian border. If Austria-Hungary spends more effort to repair it, it is still possible to temporarily delay the Russian offensive. When the Russian Army Corps was temporarily blunt under the strong city. The Bavarian Army used armored forces as a spearhead to break through the Russian defense line, and then used cavalry as a net to delay the movement of the Russian army as much as possible and create opportunities for infantry to encircle and annihilate.

; If you can get the full cooperation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, no, even as long as the Austro-Hungarian Empire is willing to hand over the 5 cavalry divisions in its hands to the prince to command, then it will be equipped with the original cavalry of the Bavarian Army, plus the East Prussia left German cavalry, then the cavalry regiment in the hands of the prince can reach at least 7 divisions! Coupled with a fast-moving division with a certain amount of trucks and an armored unit with various tanks and armored vehicles, it will form a very powerful breakthrough group. It is hard to say whether it can deal with Britain and France, but it is certainly no problem with the Russians!

; If this plan is successful, then in the history of the Russian Eastern Front, the situation that severely damaged Austria-Hungary will not happen, and even if it is operated well, the Russian-owned Poland region will become the place where Russia's largest heavy-armed group will be destroyed! Fighting close to the mainland is definitely better than fighting deep into Russia. Compared with Germany and Austria-Hungary, Russia does not have enough food in Russian Poland, let alone to support millions of troops. Fighting in the Polish region is tantamount to disguisedly increasing the loss of the Russians and lengthening the supply line.

"As long as they can enter and resist the first wave, so that Austria-Hungary will not lose so much in the first Russian attack, then the latter form will be much better." The prince muttered while looking at the map. A large part of the final collapse of Austria-Hungary in the 1st battle was because of the terrible loss at the beginning. After the first battle, the Austrian-Hungarian troops lost 460,000! The officers who have accumulated over the years have been exhausted, and the people who come up later are not professional, and their reliability is also very poor.

; Although the preparations of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are insufficient. (The Hungarian parliament contributed a lot to it!) The equipment was poor at the start of the war, but its industrial strength was still relatively strong. In terms of overall output, not only was it higher than Italy, it even surpassed Russia!

; On the number of rifles, UU reading www.uukanshu. The Austro-Hungarian Empire made 3.5 million rifles, compared with 3.3 million in Russia. Austria-Hungary produced 40,500 machine guns, while Russia only had 28,000. The production capacity of Austro-Hungarian artillery was 15,900, Russia was 11,800, the production capacity of Austrian-Hungary aircraft was 5,400, and Russia was 3,500. In terms of shells, Austria-Hungary had 80 million rounds, while Russia had 67 million rounds. In terms of bullets, the Austro-Hungarian Empire produced 4 billion bullets and 1.35 billion bullets against the Russians! The production capacity of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is over to Russia!

; There are a lot of things, but the people who use it are a bit worse. As the war continued, the control of the upper-level Austro-Hungarian Empire over the middle and lower levels became weaker. And an Austro-Hungarian with a higher will to fight is much better than an enhanced version of Bavaria.

;Of course, the prince is not really trying to save this aging empire, (save it, where does the Bavarian dividend come from?) but to let him persist longer, and at least the Austrian part must be preserved as much as possible! To reduce the initial casualties and allow Austria’s industry to play out, even if the prince’s purpose is completed 30%, after all, in order to kill Russia faster and better, Austria’s power is indispensable!
