Chapter 402: You're Still Thinking Too Simple!

But it doesn't matter, as a traverser, he has already regarded plagiarism as his daily master, so he naturally will not let go of this opportunity to not only improve the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion but also make himself famous. So the prince picked up the putter next to the sand table www.biquge.info and then took out several models of cavalry and a model of a car from the wargame box next to him and put them on the sand table.

Then, with a flick of the pusher, the new cavalry and cars joined the chess pieces that had just broken through the battle line, symbolizing the armored and elite infantry, and then the prince pushed the wargames even further! Directly pushed this regiment to the enemy's second line of defense.

"Very good idea." Just as the prince was making persistent efforts to push the artillery of the front line to the occupied positions and establish a new starting position, the praise and applause of Prince Leopold were already ringing out, and the prince knew that his thoughts had been understood by the prince.

"Is that your tactic? After using armored troops and elite infantry to break through the opponent's defense line, concentrate cavalry and a large number of vehicles, and form a rapid assault corps with the breakthrough troops in front, continue to develop in depth with the opponent, break through their defense line one by one, and then the infantry behind catch up to carry out large-scale encirclement operations. Prince Leopold asked.

"That's right, that's right." The prince said with some smugness, a hint of a smile on the corner of the prince's mouth.

"It's a great idea, but it's hard to implement, at least not right now." Prince Leopold's words poured down his head like a basin of cold water......

"Uncle, you're jealous, aren't you? It must be jealousy, I didn't come up with it, but the junior figured it out, so you want to hit me, right? The prince speculated maliciously in his heart.

"That's one of the basic principles of Blitzkrieg. Attack as deep as possible if possible, attack the opponent's nodes and supply depots, and prevent the opponent from rebuilding the defensive line, if you have some air force, it will be perfect! That's how Germany played in World War 2 back then, how can you say that mine can't be realized. Now there are trucks, tanks and assault guns, planes will soon be available, and the basic elements are all there, although the technical limitations cannot be compared with World War II, 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, which is a good number, right?" Prince Leopold did not get angry when he looked at the prince with the word dissatisfaction written on his face, but patiently explained.

"Our wave of deduction can start with breaking through the first wave of the opponent's defense, and the Breakthrough Vehicle, as its name suggests, was born to break through the opponent's defense. I believe that it can complete the mission well, but this tank is not suitable for continuing to attack in depth, excluding the problem of reliability, the biggest problem is that it is too slow, and the speed when off-road in the field will not exceed 7 kilometers per hour, which is not faster than infantry. ”

"Think about it, our future battlefield is the Eastern Front, and how vast is Russia? And the Russian roads are in bad condition, even if we break through the defenses, then where will we attack next? Do you want to attack overly widely distributed supply points at a speed of 30 kilometers per day, or do you want to find one of the opponent's defenses? ”

"The Russians are not stupid, after a period of fighting, the Russians must be able to see that they are not our opponents in a head-on engagement, so they will retreat decisively in the unfavorable situation, how many front-line troops can run out, and in the vast Russian plain, how many enemy troops can your small armored troops hold? How far can our frontal army advance? Prince Leopold asked rhetorically.

Prince Leopold said the crux of the problem! Or is it the limitation of the times, or the logistical constraint, this unavoidable problem of the 1st World War. It is true that the prince has already figured out most of the hardware items needed for the blitzkrieg, but unfortunately, this only solves the problem of whether there is a problem, not the problem of quantity!

The blitzkrieg system of the German World War 2 was a complete system, and the armored forces, mechanized infantry and air force were indispensable. After the armored forces cut through the opponent's defense, another key problem is how to hold as many enemies as possible, which is directly related to the number of enemies that can be annihilated at one time.

The prince understood what the prince meant, the knife of the current Bavarian regiment is sharp enough, or the knife of the Germans in history is enough to deal with Russia, but the problem of the mobility of a large number of troops still cannot be solved! You've cut through your opponent's defense, but in order to hold your opponent, the infantry behind you must move fast enough!

It is true that the German army of World War II still needs mules and horses to maneuver, but after all, there are hundreds of thousands of various vehicles in hand, and the speed of movement is still much stronger than that of the regular troops of World War I, which completely rely on mules and horses. In the case of the first battle, even if the Bavarian legion, which could not move the large army at high speed, broke through the opponent, a small number of elite mechanized troops still could not hold most of the enemy. Even if you continue to intersperse, the effect is limited!

Then the question arises, where can the prince find so many highly mobile troops? If you want to transport most of your troops by truck, then forget it, this is a little difficult to complete even the German army in World War 2. His own truck is used to arm some elite troops, and then it is almost used to strengthen the supply, what hundreds of thousands of troops are all pulled by trucks, and then don't think about the drama of encircling and annihilating the opponent.

"There is only one way to solve this tactical loophole, and that is cavalry! Only with a large number of cavalry can we let them cooperate with the infantry behind to hold the opponent's large army, and then annihilate! Even our armored units can be mixed with cavalry, using cavalry to make up for the lack of combat vehicles and continue to advance in depth! No matter how bad it is, the cavalry in guerrilla warfare can also destroy and harass the opponent's logistics supply points and disrupt the opponent's retreat. The prince thought for a moment and said.

"It's a pity that we don't have that many cavalry in Bavaria, and the Russians have an advantage in this regard." Prince Leopold said with regret.

"Cavalry, that's a problem." The prince let out a long sigh. After the rise of automatic weapons, cavalry has become a sunset class, so the prince is not very interested in this type of army, and even wants to eliminate it in order to save money to arm other arms. But from the current point of view, not only can the cavalry be indispensable, but it is also possible that it will continue to shine on the Eastern Front in the future and carry out a war of returning to the light!
