1717 New American Empire

Adolf has always had a question since he was taught a lesson by Xiao Lin. Why at the end of the battle, the artillery fire of the escort could follow the charging soldiers. He tried to organize two blockades, but they were all blown up by the artillery. He could not organize them.

An effective counterattack led to the final rout. Three thousand elite Hessian mercenaries were almost completely killed or injured in the end. The infantry and artillery synergy of the escort was very powerful. Once the escort encountered an obstacle, the artillery shells would be fired in ten seconds.

will fly over.

Adolf, who was extremely experienced in combat, later recalled carefully and found that this tactic was very powerful and had super powerful attack power. This tactic had an unparalleled effect against enemies who relied on defense lines to defend themselves. Adolf racked his brains and came up with a

The name is "infantry and artillery coordination" tactics. In history, it was the Germans who were the first to cultivate and mature this tactic and apply it in actual combat. It was also based on this tactic that one country could carry several countries into battle.

Infantry-artillery coordination has been around since the emergence of artillery, and it is the earliest surviving coordinated action. With the improvement of artillery performance, infantry-artillery coordination has become more complex and requires more time and discipline.

The main method of infantry-artillery coordination: artillery prepares firepower (fire assault) to create conditions for the infantry to launch an attack (resist enemy impact); artillery firepower directly supports infantry combat during the battle; suppresses targets within the depth of the enemy.

The principle of infantry and artillery coordination is to focus on infantry actions, so that artillery firepower and infantry actions are coordinated.

Taking offensive combat as an example, when organizing a battle, it is necessary to determine the time of "c" (letters vary from country to country) (the time for the infantry to occupy the enemy's first line of position). Before the infantry launches an attack, prepare for artillery fire. The continuation of artillery preparation

The time is generally 20 to 40 minutes, and the time for the end of artillery preparation is usually "c"-2'. During this period, the combined army must organize engineers to open up passages, and the infantry must move to 200--400 meters away from the enemy, occupy and attack.

Ground wire.

When the artillery fire is transferred, the infantry launches an attack on the enemy position. After the artillery preparation is completed, it enters the artillery support stage. The artillery will promptly support the infantry with fierce firepower according to the infantry's need for firepower. When the first echelon regiment completes its mission, the division's

When the second echelon enters the battle, the artillery shifts to the artillery escort stage of deep battle.

In infantry and artillery coordination, special attention should be paid to mastering the safety boundary. The safety boundary is the minimum distance that our infantry must leave the edge of the target in order to prevent our own artillery fire from accidental damage. If the infantry does not pay attention to the safety boundary and strays into the safety boundary, it may be killed by ourselves.

Such tragedies often occur in actual battles. Since this situation will occur in the 20th century when artillery is more accurate, it is naturally unavoidable with current artillery technology.

In the battle with the Night Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion, the Night Owl soldiers were not accidentally injured by our own artillery. The company's artillery is highly accurate and the artillery infantry is well trained. However, the biggest reason is that there are few people. Because there are few people, they all strictly obey orders.

, so it did not go beyond the security world. Of course, there was one tool that also made great contributions. Xiao Lin, who was committed to building the strongest special forces in the 18th century, equipped Night Owl with equipment that Adolf could not imagine at all.

Because the walkie-talkie could not be found for the time being, Xiao Lin replaced it with a walkie-talkie. The walkie-talkies made with 2018 technology are convenient, compact, and have good call quality. In particular, Xiao Lin got a batch of police walkie-talkies through connections.

Within three thousand meters, there will be no problems with communication. With timely communication, the coordination of infantry and artillery has been strengthened. However, Adolf did not have these things in his hands. After thinking about it, he came up with new things to replace them.

"Semaphore" was a major method of communication in ancient times, and is now a common language used by navies around the world. Different flags and different flag groups express different meanings. For professionals, it is an open secret.

As an important method of communication in ancient times, semaphores are still used by armies of various countries. Naturally, Adolf would not be unfamiliar with this. Semaphore has limitations. If you cannot see it, you cannot convey the message.

But fortunately, the British's telescope manufacturing technology is among the best among all countries in this era. Compared with others, they relied on fleets to dominate the world. Telescopes are standard equipment for maritime operations. To use telescopes and communicate within three thousand meters, you only need to set up three

Just one flag bearer is enough. And because the effective range of their artillery is between 700 meters and 2,000 meters, naturally there is no need for three flag bearers, as long as two are enough.

At the same time, Adolf had been strengthening artillery shooting training. When the second-line troops mobilized by Charles Mill arrived, Adolf believed that the time had come. On the morning of the third day, Adolf officially launched the war. A total of 50,000 lobster soldiers and Hessian mercenaries

A mixed force formed, and simultaneously launched a massive attack on the French defense lines. The French have been particularly fond of building defense lines since World War I, especially the famous Maginot Line. Now it seems that they have inherited it from their ancestors

of.

Although there is not much possibility of erecting defensive facilities now, the French have still built the most common trenches, as well as some shooting points stacked with sandbags and wooden boards. Relying on these defensive facilities and the presence of yellow powder grenades and revolvers, the French have been able to fire several times

Retreat from the British attack. This time, Adolf changed his tactics, and the French were a little overwhelmed. First, there was a volley of artillery fire, which made the French unable to raise their heads, and then the infantry began to move forward.

Each spearhead unit of the main attack has a flag bearer. When the frontline commander discovers a section of the defense line that is difficult to capture, he will ask the flag bearer to report the shooting direction to the flag bearer at the artillery position. After a few minutes, some artillery will carry out saturation strikes in the approximate direction.

At this time, the infantry also returned to the safety circle. Their safety circle was much farther than the safety circle when the company's escorts and infantry and artillery coordinated. However, the excellence of this tactic cannot be denied.

The speed was slowed down nearly ten times, but the French defense line was still in pieces. The French soldiers in the trenches did not escape much at all. The French commander also suddenly became paralyzed, and every time he encountered new tactics,

This situation will happen to everyone. Before they had time to think of a way, the front line became unstable, so they had to call back the soldiers who could still be mobilized. In fact, this rough tactic was not without cost. The attacking British troops

Among them, there were many unlucky ones who were accidentally injured by our own artillery.

At the end of the war, the losses were calculated. The French lost almost 10,000 people, and Yingjun also lost 8,000. This can be regarded as a loss of 1,000 to the enemy and 800 to himself. However, as a defeated enemy, the French did not know the specific details of the British army.

Casualties. Beaten by the new tactics, the French were a little unsure about the direction of the next battle. They all retreated to the towns to organize defenses. For the time being, they did not want to fight the British army in the wild. The city defense facilities were naturally better than those in the wild.

The defensive facilities were strong, and Adolf could not use infantry-artillery coordination tactics.

But it doesn't matter, what Adolf wants is this effect. As long as the French are frightened, he can mobilize 10,000 elite troops, join nearly 30,000 militiamen in the colony, and attack the Yanhuang Trading Company together. Charlie Mill is naturally very happy

, praising Adolf all day long. He also asked Adolf to send his confidants to lead the troops, which gave him greater rights. Adolf couldn't leave without him, so he sent Samer, his longest-standing adjutant, to lead the troops.

Others, including Adolf, were not at ease. He had already created such a favorable situation. If he failed due to the commander's stupidity, he would have strangled himself. However, these British and Hessian mercenaries were too confident.

They need time, and the company also needs time. With the company's efficiency, the speed of increase in strength is beyond their imagination. When the 10,000 elite field troops were called back, the company's 10,000 new recruits had already started shooting training for two weeks.

After absorbing private soldiers from the Charles family, soldiers from the trader tribe, and surrendered troops, in fact, among the 10,000 recruits, only 4,000 had no military experience. After a month of training, discipline had been formed. Naturally, shooting training began

Yes, the Yanhuang Type 1 rifle is for everyone

The standard equipment. Officers such as non-commissioned officers and platoon commanders are not equipped with Type 17 pistols. They use the company's latest ZL-1 type B revolver. Naturally, the manufacturing company has mature technology in the late 20th century, not

The revolvers sold to the French are comparable.

After all, they are only second-line defense troops. Time is too tight and they cannot carry out long-term ideological education and put their loyalty to the company. Therefore, it is not beautiful to be equipped with too advanced weapons. It is the Raider-type mortar, Xiao Lin

They were not equipped with any equipment, but only increased the number of heavy fist type 1 artillery pieces. Naturally, if they complete three months of training, their combat effectiveness will far exceed that of the colonial militia. As long as the number is equal, they can even compete with the Hessian mercenaries.

all of a sudden.

While the shooting training was being carried out, the candidates for future officers were also determined. Some of the officers were promoted from the previously formed escort team, and more were naturally selected from the recruits who performed best. In order to win people's hearts,

The officers of the Charles family and the leaders of the trader tribe also participated in officer training. Indians were trained by Indian instructors, and white people were trained by white instructors. The progress was rapid.

Because of Al's outstanding performance, it was revealed that he would be at least a squad leader in the future and also enter the non-commissioned officer training class. In addition to shooting training every day, he also had to learn command skills. Al found that what he learned were real things, so he was naturally not afraid of fatigue and sorrow.

On the contrary, they are enjoying it. Al is not the only one who enjoys it. Driven by these people, everyone's enthusiasm for learning is rising. The recruits are forming combat effectiveness at an extremely fast speed.
