Red Alert 1895: Chapter 383 Boris\' new tactic
When the Spanish command started a meeting, then this meeting was actually a summary of the battle by the Spaniards. However, the summary of this battle has a very tragic atmosphere, because they were suppressed and beaten by the Taiwanese during this period. Obviously they thought of many ways, but they were all cracked by the Taiwanese army one by one. Whether it is digging tunnels or sending cavalry, there is no way. Because in terms of authenticity, Taiwan has better engineers, and Taiwan’s engineers are not the real engineers in the West, but Taiwan’s engineers are combat engineers, and they are combat engineers who can use engineering destruction methods to fight. Compared with those ordinary engineers too much. And this is also Wang Guorui's request. Wang Guorui has already started the process of training combat engineers, so they can't compete with the combat methods of engineers when they are young professional combat engineers.
However, sending out cavalry for a sneak attack could not break through the Taiwan army's position at all, because the flesh and blood of the cavalry was not a threat at all in front of the bullets, and the bullets would always be the flesh and blood of the cavalry. The cavalry was killed by bullets outside of a few hundred, and it was impossible to charge in front of the enemy to kill the enemy, so the cavalry was almost out of date. Therefore, the Spaniard's plan is already very tragic, and then they don't know how to crack Taiwan's tactics.
"Commander Boris, our first trench has been breached by the Taiwanese, and then we lost more than 10,000 people. Most of the 10,000 people were killed in battle. I have never heard of how many prisoners there are in Taiwan. Because Taiwan is directly in the Explosives were planted under our trenches. It happened so suddenly that we didn’t realize the problem. So almost all the more than 10,000 soldiers in the first trench were killed, and the rest were killed by the Taiwan army. Charge in and kill with a submachine gun or shotgun."
"And then. We sent cavalry to fight, and our cavalry lost more than 5,000 people. In total, we have lost 20,000 people. The morale of our army is very low, and we don't know how to solve this problem. So I ask the commander to give instructions!"
But Boris said: "I have a way to break through the Taiwanese position, but the conditions are not mature at present!"
"What? Commander, do you have a tactical method to crack Taiwan?" Everyone was shocked immediately.
Everyone didn't think of it at all. This Commander Boris is so awesome, he thought of a new tactic to crack Taiwan's army? This made them unimaginable at all. Taiwan's tactics can actually be cracked. Because Taiwan is playing a conspiracy, a complete conspiracy, not a conspiracy! Taiwan is also using huge firepower and dense machine gun bullets to shoot. Even outside the frontal positions, there are barbed wire fences blocking the enemy's infantry attacks. In this way, the infantry will have to pay a huge price every time it takes a step forward, and then they will be shot down by machine guns in rows. In the eyes of many people, such a tactic is simply impossible to crack. If you want to crack it, the only way is to let the charging soldiers have more fierce firepower than the defenders.
But is this possible? In most cases, the firepower of the charging side is not as good as that of the fixed defenders. After all, the fixed defenders don’t have to bear the weight of weapons, and the charging side’s human flesh and blood can’t carry those artillery with human strength. Heavy machine gun! And the defensive side doesn't matter at all, not only can there be heavy machine guns, but also artillery cannons erected behind them for bombardment. How could it be possible for soldiers who only charge like this to have more firepower than the enemy? What's more, Taiwan's army is well-known all over the world for its fierce firepower, which is a firepower density that armies all over the world are envious of. And other countries simply don't have the financial resources to produce such fierce firepower. Could it be that the Spaniards are richer than the British? Can it achieve a firepower density that the British cannot prepare for soldiers?
"Actually, you are all different. Our method is not a good one. This is what the cavalry commander reminded me. The cavalry commander said that if you can charge with a cavalry wearing more than ten tons of armor, isn't it possible Have you avoided the shooting of those bullets and shells? And if you have cavalry with more than ten tons of armor, then not only can you protect yourself from the impact of bullets, but also can deal with the shrapnel of most artillery. Unless it hits directly. Otherwise, this This kind of steel cavalry is a kind of cavalry that can't be killed by machine guns or bombed by artillery. At that time, our infantry will follow the cavalry, let this mobile cavalry be a shield, and follow behind. And the heavy cavalry can go to grind The Taiwanese barbed wire that crushes the Taiwanese opens a path for our infantry. In this way, the steel cavalry can also cover the infantry's charge, and then let the infantry rush into the enemy's trenches to fight the enemy. In this way, The whole battle situation has been cracked!" Boris said.
"General Boris, you are a genius!" Someone immediately exclaimed.
"Yes! General Boris, you are really a genius!" "Genius!" "General Boris, you are a great military strategist."…
However, someone suddenly asked: "But, in this world, is there any cavalry that can carry more than ten tons of armor?"
And when many people saw this guy, they secretly felt unlucky for this guy, because isn't this pointing out the emperor's new clothes? In fact, why don't you know that there are creatures in this world that can carry such a heavy armor? Even an elephant can't afford such a heavy armor, and this guy has exposed this unrealistic tactic so directly, so everyone is speechless about this unsightly staff officer. Everyone was flattering, but he actually exposed the "emperor's new clothes", so he just waited for Boris' revenge.
However, what surprised everyone was that Boris did not get angry on the spot, and said calmly: "I have this method. In fact, this method is very simple. There is no cavalry in this world who can carry more than ten tons of armor. See why we have to be carried by humans? Have you forgotten how a steam engine can carry such a heavy thing?"
"General Boris, are you talking about using a steam engine to drive the armor?" Someone immediately exclaimed.
Everyone thought of this, and they suddenly realized that since ordinary creatures can't carry such heavy armor, why can't they be carried by other things? After all, the steam engine is something that everyone can think of at present. The steam engine is very powerful, much larger than human beings. Then why must humans or war horses drive such a heavy armor? It is completely possible to use a steam engine to build a chariot, and then use this chariot to cover the soldiers to move forward! This method is really wonderful, and everyone immediately thought of a way to crack Taiwan's firepower.
And Wang Guorui didn't even think that it was just such a coincidence that the Spaniards first thought of inventing the "armored chariot" as a way to break through their own tactics. And history is always so full of coincidences, what should come will always come. And I am making progress, inventing new tactics, and the enemy will also think about breaking this situation. It turns out that the British were unable to break through the German positions during World War I and lost a lot of vital forces. And they all thought of using mobile bunkers for defense. After that, things like tanks were further invented. Tanks, which combine attack, mobility and defense, are almost a mobile bunker. This is enough to cover the soldiers' charge and break the deadlock.
But now Wang Guorui has used trench warfare to the extreme in advance, and let the Spaniards think of this method first, which Wang Guorui did not think of. History has changed, and the gringos are not all idiots, and soon they all began to think about the tactics to crack Wang Guorui. This is a contest between contradictions, who has the sharpest spear and who has the thickest shield. This kind of contest is actually endless and will never end~www.mtlnovel.com~ So the Spaniard has already thought of Wang Guorui's tactical characteristics, and then he can gradually crack this tactic in a targeted manner.
Although Boris's tactic is not perfect, he just put forward a theory, and there is still a long way to go to realize the theory. For example, steam engines cannot drive tanks, which has been recognized by later generations. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the steam engine is obviously not suitable for the important task of driving the tank. The tank should not be too big. If it is too big, it will be meaningless, and it will be easily hit by the enemy. This one also has great requirements on the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine, but ordinary steam engines are not capable of this capability, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of steam engines is too low.
"However, how can we produce an armored combat vehicle that can defeat the Taiwanese as soon as possible? We can't get it now!" A staff officer immediately said.
And Boris couldn't help being a little silent, sometimes the farthest distance in this world is not the ends of the earth, but right in front of him, but he can never take this step. Although Boris has a way to crack Taiwan's firepower tactics, but at present he cannot turn this idea into reality. This is the cruelest answer. If the war between Taiwan and Spain took some time at night, then he thought of this method at that time, and he would definitely be able to beat the Taiwan army to the ground. But now, if you can't really realize your own ideas, then all of this is imaginary. Even if you think of a way, there is no way to break it! (to be continued)
