The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 2115 I have never seen such a brazen person

Knowing that Marin intends to teach the Muscovites the tactic of linking cannon carts and iron chains, Schwartz, the Minister of Military Affairs of the North Sea State and one of Marin's confidants, expressed strong opposition.

"Your Majesty, this tactic is terrible and difficult to crack. Even the cavalry of the North Sea Kingdom will find it difficult to break through this kind of defense. You plan to attack the Muscovites in the future. If they master this tactic and buy 150 guns...that's... hard to beat!"

As the most senior general and the most capable military commander under Marin, Schwartz also had to admire the tactics of the Ottomans, which was almost incomprehensible in this era.

Marin laughed:

"Haha, Schwartz, your mind is also rigid. Yes, this kind of battle formation is indeed difficult to break through. But why do we have to attack head-on?"

European soldiers of this era... oh no, most of the European soldiers of the era are more respectful of honor and advocating positive shopping. Therefore, during World War I, the stupid thing happened that millions of French soldiers rushed to the Maxim machine guns of the Second German Empire.

But in the East, such things happen less often. Not to mention the great sixteen-character guerrilla warfare stunt, even devils have very flexible tactics.

Generally speaking, devils like to send small but powerful troops to raid the enemy's positions from the side while shaking them head-on.

Of course, the small force on the flanks of this raid was well equipped. In order to be able to suppress their opponents with firepower, their 14-man combat unit even carried one or two light machine guns with crooked handles. Even, it will carry a very light grenade, which is professionally used to clear the machine gun positions on the opposite side.

Therefore, although the troops used by the devils to outflank are small in scale, they have strong firepower. The grenade is very capable of clearing machine gun positions and even artillery positions, and it is also very convenient to transfer, and it is not easy to be counterattacked by the opponent's artillery.

Guo Jun, on the other hand, has a rigid mind. Probably the instructors studying in Europe and the United States learned the rigid dogma of European military officers and insisted on positional warfare without flexibility. Then, he was dizzy by the devil's outflanking and fire assault. Coupled with the complete lack of air supremacy and the lack of anti-tank guns to deal with the Devil's thin-skinned tanks, they were naturally defeated.

Therefore, in terms of tactics alone, the British and French troops during the World War were not comparable to the devils. In the Southeast Asian battlefield, the British and French colonial troops also lost cleanly. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the quality of the colonial army is worse than that of the native army. But it is undeniable that the devils win and are more flexible in the tactics of both sides.

However, this tactic also has disadvantages, that is, the outflanking army cannot encounter a hail of bullets... Specifically, it is best to lack machine guns or submachine guns on the opposite side...

Because this kind of side attack hits the opponent's weak point. But to attack, the opponent must have worse firepower than the commandos. It would be even better if there were only rifles and no machine guns and submachine guns.

It is a pity that during World War II, whether it was Santoko, the US military, or the Soviet army, their firepower was very strong.

Not to mention San Dezi's MG general-purpose machine gun, he also greeted him with an MP-40 submachine gun. The devil's one or two crooked handles are really unbearable, and the three-eight big cover is useless in a face-to-face fight. Even if the devil wants to fight the bayonet, he has to ask whether he agrees to the submachine gun or not.

The U.S. Army and the Soviet Army have a virtue, and they are generally equipped with submachine guns. The U.S. Army has Thomson and Browning, and the Soviet Army has the famous Bobosha. The assault team is also a mortal body, not a tank with a steel plate, and it lays down immediately after being pressed to the face with a submachine gun.

Therefore, when the devils fought against the poorly equipped fruit army, or the British and French colonial troops in Southeast Asia with similar equipment, they pushed and crushed all the way. However, when encountering the ancestors of the Soviet army with insufficient firepower and phobia, and the American army with no money for bullets, the surprise attack tactics suddenly failed.

Moreover, even tank raids on the flanks are useless. Because, the U.S. military has bazookas to deal with thin-skinned tanks. Well, the Soviet army, there are tens of thousands of T-34s with a lot of blood and high achievements (compared to the Japanese tanks), and they are boundless...

But truth be told,

If everyone lacks foul weapons such as machine guns and submachine guns, the Japanese army's outflanking and assault tactics are really effective. At least, it is much better than the idiots of the British and French allied forces who rushed to the German machine gun positions in World War I.

Because of rushing to the German machine gun position, France lost a generation. To make up the population, it turned out to be Francistan. The British are better off because the Indians bleed for them. But because of the rule that officers must take the lead in charging, Britain did not lose a generation, but lost a generation of nobles. Then, after World War I, the aristocracy completely lost power. And the common people don't care about the colonies, they only care about the country. Therefore, after World War I, Britain slowly lost control of its colonies. In addition to the reason for the decline in strength, the civilian bourgeoisie's disregard for the land is also an important reason.

...

Of course, that was later. If it was replaced by other European nobles in this era to command the battle, it would be really difficult to crack Osman's tactics of chaining chains of guns and carts.

But for Marin, who has watched too many war dramas, it couldn't be easier.

First of all, the gun carriages of the Ottoman Empire and the movable gun mounts of later generations are two concepts. The movable gun mount can quickly move the artillery, change the direction, and even shift the position.

However, the so-called gun carts of this era are actually putting bare gun barrels on top of carts. Because of the need for convenient transportation, and the fear that the recoil force would shake the cart, the cannons on the cannon carriages are generally small two- to three-pound cannons.

When forming an formation, wooden stakes should be nailed under the wheels of the cart to fix the cart. Otherwise, if they retreated due to the recoil, the car formation would disperse in an instant. Once the formation dispersed, the cavalry on the opposite side rushed in and slaughtered in minutes.

Therefore, this kind of car formation is very rigid and inflexible. If it's a frontal attack, it's right in his arms. But if they go around to the back or to the side, the people forming the formation will be dumbfounded immediately...

Not to mention how heavy the cart was, it would take a long time to pull out the wooden stakes that stuck the wheels and untie the iron chains tied together. After you rearrange it, maybe the opponent went around to another place...

Therefore, as long as there is no brain pit to hit the artillery array head-on, it will never be defeated.

Of course, this artillery array can also be arranged more perfectly if it is replaced by Marin. Specifically, use an engineer shovel to dig two trenches on both sides, and place pickets and caltrops in the trenches... Come, come, welcome to attack the flanks, welcome to the second pit...

As for going around to the back? I'm sorry, the Beihai Army has a reserve team waiting for you...

The reserve force of the North Sea State is not the practice of hiding recruits behind the European military in this era, but a real new force. In other words, the reserve team of the Beihai Kingdom may not be as effective as the elite veterans in the front row, but they are definitely much stronger than the recruits, and can be used to attack the enemy head-on.

Therefore, it is difficult for the North Sea State army to be outflanked. In fact, its defense is arranged like a hedgehog, making it difficult to attack.

In addition to the trenches, Marin's army usually carries a large number of Yu Dayou unicycles with spears in the front of the car. Even if it's a mobile battle, if you want to rush over, the soldiers in front, side, or even behind Mr. Beihai can press the two claws of the unicycle into the mud at any time. At this time, the unicycle is extremely strong. Even if the heavy cavalry ran into them, they would either die or be injured, and they would be turned on their backs.

Moreover, there is a group of musketeers waiting behind the car. Before rushing to the front, the musketeer brought the enemy down...

...

Of course, the above is a defensive approach. As for the offense, there are many tricks. The shameless kite cavalry like the black shirt knight has appeared a long time ago. Moreover, it is still used in conjunction with half-armored hussars.

When the black-shirted knight went to fly a kite, he was not afraid of the opponent's plate armored knight chasing him. As long as you dare to come out, you will definitely be tricked to death. As for the light cavalry, they are the nemesis of the black shirt knight. But the problem is that the black shirt knights are protected by winged cavalry. The light cavalry on the opposite side rushed up and faced off with the half-armored hussars, but they were definitely not opponents.

Therefore, when fighting the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Marin will definitely bring the "embarrassed" combination of black-shirted knights and hussars, which will definitely make the opponent vomit blood. The Grand Duchy of Moscow is located in Eastern Europe, and is not very familiar with Marin's methods, which is more conducive to Marin's tactics.

Moreover, Marin recently came up with an extremely perverted improved version of "Swarm of Bees". This thing is light and easy to carry, and its lethality is terrifying. Moreover, its launch scene is grand and shocking. While bringing damage, it can also deter opponents and damage their morale.

When the war started, Marin planned to let the "Shameless Legion" (the nickname of the black-shirted knight) bring dozens of hundreds of improved "swarms", and send a few rounds to the Moscow army on the side to hit the morale of the opponent.

For this reason, Marin also specially designed an iron bracket that is easy to carry and can be used to temporarily launch a swarm of bees. After all, this thing cannot be launched on horseback. The tail flames of swarms can easily burn off the horse hair, and the movement is too loud, which can easily startle the horse. But they can put a swarm of bees on the bracket, then sit on the horseback, light the fuze with a long pole tied with a matchlock, and immediately drive the horse away...

Hearing Marin's wretched tactics, Schwartz had to admire from the bottom of his heart. In terms of brain hole, he had to obey Marin. Of course, there is a saying that Schwartz did not dare to say, only dared to say in his heart:

"I have never seen such a brazen person!"
