The next day, King Carroll and his party came to the exercise headquarters and continued to observe the second half of the offensive and defensive exercise. Those present in the defensive operations of the reorganized army have a deep understanding. Today, the main observation is how much the offensive capability has been improved. The two Commanders, Bram and Middleroll, were praised by everyone for their wonderful performance yesterday.

Now the two armies exchange positions and start a new offensive and defensive drill.

At the offensive command, General Middlerow, commander of the third division, was deploying his plan. "The artillery regiment used 75 artillery guns to cover the first-line positions first, focusing on the right-wing position, and the 105 artillery pieces were waiting for a counterattack. One regiment waited for the firepower to cover and then tried to attack." As the order was issued, the artillery shells flew to the defense's first-line positions, and the exercise staff observed The drop of the shells counts the loss of the line.

"Our artillery is less caliber than the third division, and the artillery should not counterattack." General Bram ordered the staff behind him after seeing the situation of the first-line positions at the headquarters. The exercise command observed the shelling, "No worse than yesterday's fifth division, Middlerol is also a very capable person." The Minister of the Army said to the chief of staff beside him.

After the shelling is over, the staff will report to the exercise command after calculating the damage. "The first-line positions lost 7% of their combat power." "Why is there more than the fifth division yesterday?" a general asked, and the exercise staff replied. "That's because the third division has more artillery than the fifth division, and the fifth division has more front-line personnel, reaching three regiments."

Seeing the end of the shelling at headquarters, General Middleore ordered a tentative attack by a regiment. After the group dispersed in front of the defensive position, they started a tentative attack, and gunshots were heard all over the position. Compared with the reorganized three divisions, although the fifth division has more people, its firepower is still suppressed. The Madsen light machine guns that can follow the infantry charge, and the Markqin heavy machine guns that can provide fire support in the rear, all allow the attack. Fang's advantage is obvious, which makes everyone in the exercise headquarters shine.

General Middlerow, who was seen in the headquarters, ordered, "Let them withdraw." Then the group that tried to attack retreated, and the exercise staff also reported the losses of both sides to the king and his party, and the defending team lost 100 Five out of five attackers lose fifteen percent. Looking at this report, a group of people are very surprised, to know that three regiments are defending and one regiment is attacking. "It seems that the army's attack has improved a lot after the reorganization," said the old king. Preshan and others also saw the huge changes in the army after the reorganization. "Let's keep watching."

"It seems that the first-line positions are guarding three regiments, so the second-line needs at least one regiment. Does General Bram have one or two regiments?" General Middlerow thought in the command post, losing him to the attack Don't worry, most of the low-level officers have training records, and their combat skills have greatly improved. "The artillery regiment was ordered to fire rapidly on the right flank. The three regiments focused on attacking the right flank and told them to hurry. After the attack, the artillery regiment intercepted the reinforcements." . Middlerow thought to himself.

Then the artillery bombardment fell on the defending side again. After the artillery bombardment, a full three regiments attacked the defensive position. General Bram ordered after seeing the battle ahead. "Give the artillery regiment an order to aim the artillery at the attack group, and reinforce the two regiments to the front line." The chief of staff persuaded, "If we break the front line position, we may not be able to defend the deep assault." General Bram told the chief of staff explain his decision. "If you don't adjust reinforcements, you will not be able to hold it. Their firepower is too strong, the density of people retreating to the second-line positions is too large, and the artillery threat is even heavier, and our second-line positions will also collapse."

The three regiments of the third division were already approaching their positions, and the artillery on both sides were also firing at each other. General Middleroll saw reinforcements on the opposite side. "Move up the last regiment as well. The artillery regiment takes two battalions to intercept reinforcements." It seemed that General Middlerow was planning to strike with one blow.

In the front-line positions, the two sides fought abnormally, and you came and went. In the end, the three regiments rushed into the position before reinforcements arrived.

The right wing, who had been defending with superior firepower for a while, retreated. At this time, the reinforcements from the five divisions finally arrived, and one party was in a state of Jiaozuo by virtue of the large number of people and the other by virtue of the firepower.

At this time, the benefits of General Middleroll's letting go were reflected. One regiment joined the battle, and the balance of victory fell to the attackers. The defense was beaten back and forth. Seeing an opportunity, General Middleroll ordered the three regiments not to stop and continue to charge towards the second-line positions. A regiment on the second-line defense faced this situation, and it was also a headache, because the three regiments of the attacker followed the defeated troops. In the end, the five divisions failed to defend against the attack of the three divisions, allowing the attackers to win.

In the subsequent maneuver of the entire division, the third division also took the lead in arriving at the designated location to complete the exercise with excellent logistical support. This made the king and the military extremely satisfied, except that the price was too expensive, all of which met the military's expectations.

At the summary meeting after the exercise, high-level military officials gathered together, and Eder also came to listen to the summary experience of the army. The chief of the general staff of Preshan began to summarize the exercise. "My colleagues, I am satisfied with this exercise, but we must also see some shortcomings. First of all, as our tactical unit division 1, we will attack the defensive positions with firepower. There is insufficient power." This is not enough, does the military want to assign 150 guns to the division level, Edel complained in his heart.

Preshan continued, "During the combat exercise, we should see that the troops are disconnected from the front and back, and we should strengthen the training. The reorganized division is much stronger than the unorganized division in all aspects, but from this exercise, we can see that Out, the ammunition consumption is three times larger than that of the unorganized division, which is a new test for logistics support. From here, we need to strengthen the training of our army logistics officers. In the future work of the army, logistics support will be the department that tests us the most. ."

At the summary meeting, Pleishan said that there are many problems in the formation of the army during the exercise. Eder has no opinion on training logistics, etc. Eder really has an opinion that the firepower is not strong enough. One stop is enough, and now this equipment level is the maximum in Romania. All the powerful armies in Europe are at this level, and Preshan wants to make big news.

After the meeting, Eder found the chief of staff and told him. "The chief of staff now has the greatest strength in terms of payment for goods and finances. It is impossible to increase it for at least 10 years." Preshan replied quickly. "Crown Prince, I mainly give the army an outlook. I have not thought about adding firepower. However, according to the standard of the exercise, the logistics may not be able to turn around during the war." Hearing Preshan's words, Edel thought of a good way to change the logistics. The idea, it's simple for a later generation.
