Chapter 383: Boris's New Tactics
When a meeting began to be held in the Spanish headquarters, the meeting was actually a summary of the battle by the Spaniards. However, the summary of this battle carried a great tragic atmosphere, because during this period of time, they were all pressed and beaten by the Taiwanese, and obviously they tried many ways, but they were all cracked by the Taiwanese army one by one. Whether it's digging tunnels or sending out cavalry, there's no way around it. This is because Taiwan has more sophisticated engineering troops, and Taiwan's engineering troops are not the real engineering troops of the West, while Taiwan's engineering troops are combat engineering troops, and they are combat engineering troops that can fight by means of engineering destruction, and they are much more powerful than those ordinary engineering troops. And this is also Wang Guorui's request, Wang Guorui has already started the process of training combat engineers, so they simply can't compete in the combat methods of professional combat engineers.
However, sending cavalry to sneak attack could not break through the position of the Taiwan army at all, because the flesh and blood of the cavalry was not a threat at all in the face of bullets, and the bullets would always win the flesh and blood of the cavalry. The cavalry was killed by bullets even a few hundred people away, and it was impossible to charge in front of the enemy to cut down the enemy, so the cavalry was almost obsolete. So, now the plans of the Spaniards are already very miserable, and then they simply do not know how to crack the tactics of Taiwan.
"Commander Boris, our first trench has already been broken by the Taiwanese, and then we lost more than 10 thousand people. And most of the more than 10,000 people died in battle, and I have not heard of how many prisoners there are in Taiwan. Because Taiwan planted explosives directly under our trenches, it happened so suddenly that we were not aware of the problem at all. Therefore, almost all the more than 10,000 soldiers in the first trench were killed, and the rest were all killed by the Taiwanese army with submachine guns or shotguns. ”
"After that, we sent cavalry to fight, and our cavalry lost more than 5,000 men. Combined, we have 20,000 casualties. The morale of our army is very low, and we don't know how to solve this problem, so we also ask the commander for instructions! ”
Boris said: "I have a way to break through the position of the Taiwanese, but the current conditions are not very ripe!" ”
"What? Commander, do you have a tactical approach to cracking Taiwan? Everyone was immediately shocked.
Everyone didn't expect that this Commander Boris would be so bullish. Thought of a new tactic to crack Taiwan's army? This makes them unimaginable that Taiwan's tactics can be cracked. Because Taiwan is playing a conspiracy, a thorough conspiracy, it is not a conspiracy! Taiwan is also using huge firepower and dense machine-gun bullets to strafe. Even outside the frontal position, there was barbed wire to block the enemy's infantry, so that every time the infantry took a step forward, they had to pay a huge price, and then they had to fall to the ground by rows of machine gun fire. And in the eyes of many people, such a tactic is impossible to crack. The only way to crack it out is to have more firepower than the defender.
But is this possible? The firepower of the charging side is in most cases inferior to that of the stationary defender. After all, the fixed defender does not have to bear the weight of the weapon, and the human flesh and blood of the charging side with human strength cannot carry those artillery, and cannot carry the heavy machine gun! And the defending side does not care at all, not only can there be heavy machine guns, but also there are erected artillery in the rear to open fire, so how can the charging soldiers have more fierce firepower than the enemy? What's more, Taiwan's army is known for its fierce firepower in the world, and that is the envy of the world's armies. Other countries simply don't have the financial resources to make such a fierce firepower. Could it be that the Spaniards are richer than the British? Can you do the density of fire that the British can't prepare for their soldiers?
"Actually. You're all different, and our approach is not a good one. This was reminded by the cavalry division commander, and the cavalry division commander said that if you can charge with a cavalryman wearing more than a dozen tons of armor, then wouldn't this save you from the shooting of those bullets and shells? And if there are cavalrymen with more than a dozen tons of armor, then this will not only protect themselves from the impact of bullets, but also be able to cope with the shrapnel of most artillery. Unless it hits directly. Otherwise, this kind of steel cavalry is a kind of cavalry that cannot be killed by machine guns and cannot be blown up by artillery. When the time comes, our infantry will follow the cavalry, and let this cavalry that can move as a shield and follow behind. And that heavy cavalry can go and crush the barbed wire of the Taiwanese who are Taiwanese, so as to open a way for our infantry. And in this way, this steel cavalry can also cover the infantry charge. Then let the infantry rush into the enemy's trenches and fight the enemy. In this way, the whole battle situation is cracked! Boris said.
"General Boris, you are a genius!" Immediately someone exclaimed.
"Yes! General Boris, you are truly a genius! "Genius!" "General Boris, you are a great military strategist." ……
However, someone suddenly asked: "But, in this world, is there a cavalry that can carry more than a dozen tons of armor?" ”
And many people saw this guy and secretly felt unlucky for this guy, because wasn't this pointing out the emperor's new clothes? In fact, don't you know that there are creatures in this world that can withstand such heavy armor? Even an elephant can't afford to carry such heavy armor, and this guy has so directly exposed this unrealistic tactic, so everyone is speechless about this staff officer who has no eyesight. Everyone is patting on the back, but he actually pierced this "emperor's new clothes", so he will wait for Boris's revenge.
However, to everyone's surprise, Boris did not get angry on the spot, and said calmly: "I also have this method." In fact, this method is very simple, there are no cavalry in this world that can afford more than a dozen tons of armor, so why do we have to be carried by humans? Have you forgotten how a steam engine can move something so heavy? ”
"General Boris, are you talking about using a steam engine to drive the armor?" Immediately someone exclaimed.
Everyone thought of this, and sure enough, their mouths suddenly opened, since ordinary creatures can't afford to carry such heavy armor, why can't they let something else carry it? After all, the steam engine is something that everyone can think of at present, and the steam engine is very powerful, much larger than that of human beings. Then why do you have to let humans or war horses drive such a heavy weight of armor, you can use a steam engine to make a chariot, and then use this chariot to cover the advance of the soldiers! This method is really wonderful, and everyone suddenly thought of a way to crack Taiwan's firepower.
And Wang Guorui didn't expect that it was just some coincidences that made the Spaniards first think of inventing "armored fighting vehicles" as a way to break through their own tactics. And history is always so full of coincidences, what should come will always come. And he is improving, inventing new tactics, and the enemy will also want to solve the situation. It turned out that the world was the First World War, when the British were unable to break through the German positions and lost a large number of living forces. And they all thought of using mobile pillboxes for defense. And then there was a further invention of the tank, which combined attack and mobile defense into one, almost a mobile bunker. This was enough to cover the charge of the soldiers and break the deadlock.
But now Wang Guorui used trench warfare to the extreme in advance, and then let the Spaniards think of this method first, which Wang Guorui did not expect. History has changed, and the gringos are not all idiots, and they soon all began to figure out how to crack Wang Guorui. This is also a contest between contradictions, a competition between each other to see whose spear is sharper and whose shield is thicker. In fact, this kind of competition is never-ending and never ends. Therefore, the Spaniards have thought of Wang Guorui's tactical characteristics, and then they can gradually crack this tactic.
Although Boris's tactics are not perfect, he has only put forward a theory, and there is still a long way to go to implement the theory. For example, the steam engine could not drive the tank, which was recognized by later generations. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the steam engine is obviously not up to the task of driving the tank, and the tank can't be too big, and if it's too big, it's not interesting, and it's easy to be hit by the enemy. This one also has great requirements for the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine, but ordinary steam engines cannot be competent for this ability, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of steam engines is too low.
"But how can we make an armored combat vehicle that can crack the Taiwanese? We can't get it now! Immediately a staff officer said.
And Boris couldn't help but be a little silent, sometimes the farthest distance in the world is not the end of the world, but right in front of you, but you can never take this step. Although Boris has a way to crack this firepower tactic of Taiwan, he is currently unable to turn this idea into reality, and this is the most cruel answer. If the war between Taiwan and Spain had been going on for a while, then he had thought of this method at that time, and he would definitely be able to beat the Taiwanese army all over the ground. But now, if you can't really realize your ideas, then this qiē is all false. Even if you think of a way, you can't crack it! (To be continued......)
