Chapter 1049: I Give This Wave an Eight-Point Score!
Chapter 1049 I give this wave 8 points!
But even this is still not enough! The prince bet that the person who made this plan must have carefully studied Calyput's battles with the British in South Africa using cavalry and packhorse artillery, and understood the essence of it! That is to minimize the time for breakthrough engagement, especially to reduce the combat time of artillery units. This leads to two characteristics of the Russian combat operations. After breaking the first line of defense, before the artillery is in place, they tend to expand To see the results of the battle, look for soft targets to attack, and when the artillery is in place, quickly find the opponent for a decisive battle. Moreover, the loss is not taken into account once the action is taken, and the combat time is shortened! In order to give the artillery more time to rush or resupply!
This prince did not know this from a single assault. In the Russian attacks in the past few days, there was more than one fight at each route! Referring to previous battles between the two sides, the prince found that the fighting time was relatively short, but the consumption of ammunition increased instead. What's more, with the current industrial level and stinginess of the Russians, more than a dozen Ilya heavy bombers can operate at the scale of a division. It must be abnormal to appear frequently in the battlefield! Even if three aircraft were shot down in one battle, the attendance rate of the Russian aviation units still did not drop much!
Are you kidding me? ! As for being so desperate? You must know that in history, the Russians only built more than 60 large 4-engine bombers, right? Well, although the situation has changed now, it is impossible for the Russians to be generous enough to use their aviation power in this way, right? So there must be something fishy behind it!
There is a saying in later generations that a handsome man lasts only three minutes, and there is also a saying that a real man only lasts five seconds! (Refer to the Barbarian King in LOL) The prince feels that the Russians are fighting hard now. It seems that the offensive momentum is like a rainbow, with more than a dozen cavalry divisions galloping behind the defense line, but it is like a sharp but easy-to-break stabbing sword. Be careful and you will be ruined. Therefore, those who use sharp swords must use keen eyesight to find the weakness of the opponent, and then use the sword at lightning speed to kill with one move, then withdraw it and strike with the next move!
The Russians do not have an organized armored force, unlike the Bavarian Army on the Western Front, which is a torrent of steel composed of hundreds of tanks, hundreds of aircraft, and a large number of artillery and various vehicles. Although a large number of horses and carriages solve the problem of mobility, they are not strong themselves... It is indeed enough to have a 122MM howitzer for field battles, but in this dimension, you don’t have a 150MM level artillery and want to break through a solid support point? Then bleed more!
If we only had this sharp sword, it would be OK to find the direction of its attack and gather enough troops to counterattack. But this time, the Russians have more troops and more breakthroughs. Except for the Bavarian Army in the hands of the prince, almost all the troops were pinned down or locked in a bitter battle. And the biggest question is, what if you break a few of the swords? Other troops may have circled to your flank or rear at this time, but so what if one place blocks it? When being surrounded by Russian troops, is it better to retreat to avoid being surrounded?
Just from the above points, it can be seen that the people who formulated this plan are of an absolutely high level. The comprehensive multi-point breakthrough in Brusinov's offensive coupled with the high mobility of a large number of horses,
There is also the aviation trick that the Russians have been holding back for a long time and finally used!
Explode the most powerful attack power in the shortest time, and completely penetrate all the opponent's defense lines in the shortest time! Tactically speaking, the Russians have done very well this time. Even the prince believes that if it were him, he might not be able to do better simply based on the actions of the left and right wings. Because Russia's national power restricted their hands and feet, it was almost like dancing with shackles. Because the Russians only have horses, a small number of heavy artillery and aircraft. Although there is a saying that good steel is used on the blade, there is not much good steel in the first place. If you use it all on the blade, you will not be able to make many knives!
And if you focus on the strategic level, the Russians will do even better! Why did the Russians choose Lviv as the location for their assault? In addition to being the easternmost end of the front and being able to coordinate with the Romanian Army, another problem is that it is the closest to the Carpathian Mountains! In other words, the Russians had already considered the issue of whether it would last long when they attacked! This set of Seven Injury Fists will definitely not last long. If it cannot quickly reach an area where it can advance, attack, retreat and defend, then Russia will sooner or later be pushed back by the Bavarian Army that reacts! Therefore, they chose this area that is not very shallow and can be defended after the attack as a breakthrough!
From this point of view, the Russians' idea should be this: Concentrate their forces on both wings, use the Russian version of the fast corps to quickly break through the direction, then use the Carpathian Mountains to block most of the area, and then control the pass, in Bavaria Before the legion arrived, it successfully transitioned to a defensive state. At the same time, the Center Army, with the cooperation of the enhanced heavy artillery units, completely captured the Lviv Fortress area, pulled out this nail, and connected the Russian occupied areas on both sides. If this battle If successful, the entire Eastern Galicia region will fall into Russian hands!
After gaining insight into the Russians' plan, even the prince had to give them 16 likes and 8 points! Of course, the remaining points are due to my own innate shortcomings. Naturally, the last point will not be deducted because the Russians are afraid of being proud. It's because there are still huge loopholes in this plan!
Regardless of the fact that the long preparation time has caused their actions to be noticed, there is nothing that can be done about it. The Russians' logistics is pathetic and their equipment is short. There is nothing they can do about the time it takes to mobilize these things. God will forgive this! From a purely tactical perspective, the Russians were too greedy this time! Within the army group, they concentrated their strength, but at the entire campaign level, their strength was still dispersed!
In other words, the Russians should not attack the Lviv fortress complex! In order to capture this fortress area, they concentrated too many heavy weapons and troops! And the Russians actually don’t have enough experience in attacking difficulties! A large number of troops are stationed under the fortified city. If this continues, it will be strange if nothing happens!
What is the most important thing in siege warfare since ancient times? Strong soldiers, horses, ships, and artillery are certainly a very important factor, and can even be said to be a precursor factor. But from a strategic level, for both equal parties, the most important thing is to encircle! The most important thing in siege operations is actually siege and blockade, not a vigorous attack! In historical siege battles, those who can encircle more than 80% of them will win, but if they cannot encircle them, then more than 80% of them will almost lose!
