The Rise of the European Emperor

While the Habsburg family was studying tactics against the Swiss Resistance Army, on the Luneburg grassland in the North Sea country, Marin was also studying with his generals how to break through the army formation of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Marin's requirements are still very high. What he wants is not defeat, but defeat. If the Moscow army is defeated, it may be able to retreat as a whole. If you can keep most of your strength, it will be very troublesome to besiege Moscow City next.

What? You mean the pursuit of the Cossacks? Marin also brought 5,000 Cossack cavalry over this time, which may not be enough for hunting. You know, the number of people exceeds ten thousand and is boundless. The army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is boundless in numbers or even dozens. With so many people, even if they were defeated, the people at the front couldn't escape in time because they were blocked by the people behind. Similarly, the people in front also blocked the pursuit of Marin's army.

If it is an army of 100,000, even chasing and killing 100,000 pigs will take a lot of energy and time. If the elite of the Grand Duchy of Moscow ran away and hid in the city because of this, it would be difficult.

Therefore, Marin's requirement for this battle is not to repel the enemy head-on, but to defeat the enemy! Don't let them have the opportunity to cover the main force to escape!

In this way, the army of the North Sea State is required to quickly break through its frontal defense, so that the high-level members of the Moscow army cannot react and lose the opportunity to lead the main force to escape.

Before, Marin had already determined the tactics, that is, the tactics of confronting the enemy head-on with shelling and spring-loaded muskets using slugs.

If this set of tactics is used against the armies of Western European countries, it will definitely be a great success. Because, the armies of Western European countries are used to putting elite veterans in the front row and recruits in the back row.

If the slug and shells are used together, they can kill a large number of veterans and elites of the opponent at once, causing them to lose most of their combat effectiveness.

But the tactics and tactics of the Moscow army followed Mongolia. Facing the enemy's bows and firearms, the Mongolian-style Moscow army would often put a batch of cannon fodder at the front, allowing the cannon fodder soldiers to attract the enemy's firepower. Then, the main force rushed up from behind and slashed.

This is the traditional handicraft of the nomadic peoples in northern China, and the later Hou Jin was also accustomed to using this method. In the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast, they captured the savage and fierce "Sheng Jurchen", put them on heavy armor, and rushed to the forefront.

But many girls are really hunters in the forest, and they are not good at riding horses. Therefore, the Houjin army tied up these virgins who were not good at riding horses, fixed them on the saddles, and let them be cannon fodder to take the lead in charging. If they survived, reward them with a few bottles of burning knives, or allow them to burn, kill and plunder. If you die... nothing...

The Grand Duchy of Moscow has been ruled by the Mongolian Golden Horde for hundreds of years, and has also learned this shameless tactic. However, they didn't use any barbarians, but directly let the people at the bottom take up worn-out spears, and let them charge in front without even sending out armor. If they retreat, the regular army will "enforce the law" on them and kill them on the spot. Anyway, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has a large population, and the people at the bottom, in the eyes of the princes of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, are just gray animals, not afraid of consumption.

Therefore, there is nothing to be happy about repelling the first attack of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Because, the opponent's elite must be on the second dial. Knocking out the opponent's first wave will hardly hurt the opponent.

Therefore, Marin decided to learn the devil's tactics and launch a violent attack from the side, causing chaos.

Before, Marin also "invented" a powerful and improved "swarm of bees", which was very effective against the enemy. Even wearing oriental-style armor, it is difficult to resist the magical arrows issued by "swarms of bees".

However, after many confrontation exercises, Marin and his officers discovered that if the opponent's side was covered by a large shield, the swarm's lethality would be greatly weakened. However, in the Moscow army, there are many sword and shield soldiers holding round wooden shields, which are often used to protect the flanks. If you encounter swords and shield soldiers, the lethality of "swarms of bees" will be greatly reduced.

"How did the devil break through the Guojun's defense?" Marin thought hard.

Before, Marin thought it was the credit of the two crooked machine guns,

After all, fire suppression. But it's not right to think about it. The crooked machine gun has strong firepower, but the Czech machine gun of the Keguo Army is not weak, or even better.

Then, Marin thought of the devil's most classic weapon-the grenade!

Generally speaking, in the face of the devil's attack, the Guo army would not stand there stupidly and shoot at the devil, but would definitely build a defensive position to block it. For example, it is common to pile sandbags on the street on TV. This kind of sandbag has very good protection, and bullets cannot penetrate it. No matter how powerful the crooked machine gun is, it will be difficult to penetrate the sandbags. At most, it will be suppressed so that the Guojun dare not look up. However, to remove this defensive position, artillery is obviously better.

But the problem is that the devils are generally responsible for the mobile units that outflank the flanks, and it is unlikely that they will carry the artillery up. Even if the 92nd infantry artillery is light, it weighs more than two hundred kilograms, or more than four hundred kilograms.

Therefore, the devil's assault troops generally carry another magical fire suppressing weapon-the grenade!

The grenadier has a short range and is facing the bombardment head-on. It is definitely not an opponent of serious artillery. However, when the two armies are at war, the artillery positions are generally aimed at the frontal enemy, and no one is stupid enough to leave the artillery idle to guard against possible enemies that may appear on the side.

Therefore, in general military battles, there are very few artillery on the side, and at most machine gun positions and machine gun bunkers are purchased. As for the grenade, it can't face the bombardment head-on, but it is very good at pulling out the machine gun positions. If it is a bunker, you can only ask the 92 infantry artillery to shoot directly.

However, there are very few dark forts in the wild battlefields. Generally, only fortresses will build many dark forts. After all, the construction of a dark fort is not a matter of a day or two. In a hurry, the machine gun positions are often built with a little sandbags, or dig a trench and pile up some soil to build a machine gun position.

If firearms were used to shoot at each other, how could the attacking troops be so easy to beat the machine gun positions covered by sandbags and trenches? However, grenade can! The shooting range of the grenade is not good, usually only two to three hundred meters. However, it is reflective!

It means that he can launch the muskmelon hand bud into the trench or sandbag fortification on the opposite side, and directly blow up the aircraft gunner...

Without the suppression of machine gun fire, the devil's commando could easily break in. Then, with a crooked machine gun, it raged on the flanks of the Guo army. Guojun's Hanyang made, where is the opponent of crooked machine guns? Therefore, it is easy to be defeated by devils on the side. Valley

However, the devil's tricks are not very easy to use in the US and Soviet troops. why? Because during World War II, the U.S. Army and the Soviet Army in the later period equipped the Bobosha submachine gun and the Thomson submachine gun to the squads, that is, basically every squad has equipment.

Each team of your devils does have two crooked machine guns with fierce firepower. However, when you rush into the flank of the enemy's position, it is equivalent to "hand-to-hand combat" with people. At this distance, the damage of submachine guns and machine guns is similar.

The Guojun lacked submachine guns (mainly because they couldn't fire bullets), but the US and Soviet troops had a lot of submachine guns. Therefore, if the devil's flank commando breaks into the enemy's flank, it is okay if it faces the Guo army lacking submachine guns, and it will take advantage and defeat the opponent. Facing the US and Soviet troops with submachine guns in every squad, there is no advantage, or even a disadvantage. After all, submachine guns are lighter and easier to use than machine guns in close quarters combat.

In addition, by the way, the submachine gun equipment rate in the Devil Army is very low. why? Like Guo Jun, bullets can't hit...

That's right, the devil's domestic mineral resources are poor, and the metal production capacity is very limited. Manufacturing bullets requires a lot of metal. Therefore, a submachine gun, a weapon that wastes ammunition extremely, is not because it has no technology, but because it cannot afford to consume ammunition.

However, if the tactics of the devils and the grenades that are very effective against trenches are taken to the period of World War I, they will definitely kill the Quartet. Because submachine guns just appeared during World War I, and they were not installed on a large scale. This kind of grenade is absolutely invincible when paired with the firepower of a crooked sub-machine gun.

Coincidentally, the equipment level of the Guo army is almost at the level of World War I. Facing the firepower and tactics of the same generation, it is naturally invincible. It wasn't that the devils were ferocious, but that their tactics and firepower just happened to suppress the Guo army. Only the rabbit army, who didn't face the devils head-on, suffered less losses. But in the process of anti-sweeping, if they face each other head-on, it will not be good.

...

In other words, the improved version of "Swarm of Bees" "invented" by Marin replaced the role of the machine gun. However, if the opponent puts up a large shield, they need a fierce fire weapon like a "thrower" to open up the situation.

However, for now, Marin does not have this technical ability. The devil's small melon hand buds specially used for projectiles can't be made at all. The main problem is the fuze. Marin, who has no modern chemical capabilities, not only lacks a powerful charge, but also has no fuze that does not require an open flame.

The so-called hand-retained bombs in the Beihai Kingdom are basically earth-squeezed bombs with long and thin fuzes. If this thing is thrown out and accidentally thrown into the pond, the fuze will be extinguished by the water directly. Throwing it into the sand, it is also easy to be covered by the sand, causing it to go out... Various defects...

...

Marin thought about it, and felt that it was unrealistic to engage in grenades. However, hand buds can be developed.

Although the hitting distance of the hand bud is only 30 to 50 meters, it is far inferior to the 200 to 300 meters of the grenade. But, it depends on the age!

In this era, military weapons were still dominated by cold weapons. Although the Moscow army also has muskets and artillery, they must all be arranged on the front. On the side, it would be nice to have a crossbow.

Therefore, as long as you have a suitable hand bud, you can get close to a distance of 30 to 50 meters, and then throw the hand bud to attack...

Even if the opposite flank is covered by large shield soldiers, the shield is powerless in the face of Handlei. Even if the Beihai State uses a very low charge of black powder, it will not kill a few people. However, it is no problem to disable the enemy within a few steps.

When the sword and shield soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, other arms lose their protection. Then, ignite the "swarm" and strike with the firepower density of a machine gun, it will definitely work...

Then, the question arises - how to make hand buds?

Marin directly thought of building in the border area...

The hand-liu bombs (river crabs) made in the border area back then were so indescribable. However, it is also scary enough, and it can also abolish the enemy's combat effectiveness...

And the technique of making hand buds in the border area, just like Marin's era, was hammered by blacksmiths, and the technical content was very low. The iron shell can be made by ordinary blacksmiths.

However, compared with border regions, Beihai State has an advantage. Mainly, Beihai has high-quality steel! There are no steel factories in the border area, and almost all of them are low-quality pig iron smelted in earthen furnaces, and the quality is very poor. To make weapons, you have to dismantle rails. Otherwise, the steel quality is not up to standard.

The Beihai State Iron and Steel Plant even produced alloy steel, although like the arsenal in the border area, it lacked modern machines. However, in terms of steel quality, it was Beihai that won.

Therefore, the arsenal of the North Sea State still has an advantage in imitating the M24 hand bomb. Moreover, the Germans imitated the M24 of the Germans, and there is nothing wrong with it...

However, due to the lack of chemical technology, Marin could not come up with a device to pull the ignition. Therefore, he could only choose to ignite the fuze.

Specifically, the slender fuze is hidden in the hollow wooden handle. In order to prevent moisture, the bottom of the wooden handle is covered with oiled paper. When in use, puncture the oil paper, put the match into it and ignite the fuse. Then, throw it out...

Strictly speaking, this kind of hand bombs is comparable to those made in the border area. The quality of the steel made in the border area is poor, while the bombs left by the Beihai country have an extremely backward ignition method. Even the border area can produce a puller...
