Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science
Chapter 1729: Thirteen. Icewind Forest (21)
"Cheers to victory!"
"Respect the Kingdom! Respect the Magician!"
A crisp sound of a collision of enamel tea cups sounded in the trench, and the fragrance of private brewed vodka diffused with joy.
As the people living in the extreme northern countries, the Laplanders have a second degree of obsession with alcohol after the Principality. There was a clear ban on alcohol in the military camp, so when the military camp was closed for holidays, the drunken officers and soldiers could always be seen in the tavern near the military camp.
This infantry platoon is on duty, as a matter of fact, drinking is not allowed. But as temperatures began to fall, the prohibition was not so absolute. Imperial scientific research has proved that alcohol can accelerate the temperature loss of the human body, but in the ice and snow environment, moderate drinking of spirits can accelerate the blood circulation of the human body and reduce the possibility of frostbite on the extremities. So as long as the superior officer permits, the soldiers will not only get a cup of vodka ration for dinner, but the night watch sentry will also get extra vodka supply.
"Water of life"-Vodka's nickname is worthy of the name in the north. In the long cold night when the reinforced concrete will be frozen, vodka is really a necessity for maintaining the lives of soldiers.
Among various vodkas made from grains and potatoes, the "Spirytus (Spirytus)" brewed by Lapland is the most respected. Its alcohol content is as high as 96%, which is the highest alcohol content in the world. The strongest wine. This infantry platoon enjoyed the privately brewed "Water of Life", and in the spicy fragrance, the soldiers' laughter echoed under the night.
They have reason to laugh, and any fighter who survives on the battlefield can be pleased with the continuing life, not to mention that they have just received good news that is closely related to themselves.
The Lapland Floating Fleet successfully assaulted the military station of the Principality and successfully destroyed the heavy artillery shells accumulated in each station-this exciting news has spread throughout Lapland, especially the soldiers in the front trenches, this news is equal to In order to provide them with a life support, we must know that once those shells reach the front line, they directly bear the soldiers in these trenches. Now someone told them that all the shells were destroyed and those cannons were dumb. How could they not be ecstatic about it.
So the soldiers toasted and celebrated. Everyone was discussing the ugliness of the Principality Army in this surprise attack and the magical performance of the floating fleet that had been unknown. More people were discussing the planner of this surprise attack-like The magician took out a rabbit-like magical soldier from his hat, a military adviser from the empire, "Undefeated Magician" Major General Pasifal.
He deserves to be the focus.
A raid completely paralyzed the heavy artillery of the Principality Army, coupled with the joint losses caused by the bombing of the shells and the blow to the morale of the Principality, its influence was no less than that of a Principality infantry division. Considering that the damage of the floating fleet is almost zero, this achievement and the magical strategy of using troops can't find a more appropriate adjective besides "magic". No wonder it will become the focus of everyone's discussion.
However, as the focus of people's attention, Parsifal was completely unconscious of his reputation. After all the letters of invitations and admirers were pushed to the adjutant, he plunged into various reports.
Later historians commented on Parsifal, there are two general views, one is that he was one of the most brilliant military strategists and strategists. If it were not for the emperor's star that was too dazzling in the same era, his light should have been more conspicuous, attracting more people to his side. The second is that Parsifal’s behavior is more like a strange mixture of psychologists, economists, logistics staff, and intelligence staff than the image of a military man commanding thousands of troops.
The reason for this evaluation is mainly because Parsifal's operations paid more attention to the logistics system and intelligence support than the general military generals. Its combat plan prefers to induce opponents to act at its own pace and attack the opponent’s weak links—especially the enemy’s logistical system—than the stately battle.
"Because the logistics system is the lifeblood of the contemporary army, without the support of the logistics system, it is like drawing blood from the body. Under the state of heavy bleeding, although it will not die immediately, it may even struggle for a while. But it can only be done To this extent, it will not have any effect on the ending."
Flipping through the latest aerial photos and itinerary information of the Principality's itinerary, Pasifal sipped the tea, and said calmly:
"If you don't understand the importance of the logistics system, you are not qualified to say that you understand what modern warfare is."
Personal bravery, one or two new weapons, one or two tactical innovations-the era that determines the direction of war has passed. Today's war is a confrontation of comprehensive national strength, and even a confrontation between systems.
The changes in military technology and military organization have made wars increasingly complicated. The automation of firearms, the popularity of rapid-fire artillery and tanks, the increase in the number of animals used for supplies and towing artillery, the increase in the technical arms in the army, the continuous expansion of the army... Complications continue to inflate logistics pressure. Because this is not only a question of whether sufficient logistics materials can be raised, but also how to smoothly transport these materials to the front. In short, the development of weapons and equipment has improved the firepower and combat effectiveness of the army, but it has made it more dependent on logistics support. As a result, the Principality had to put a powerful but slow-moving army into a fast-moving battle, the difficulty of which can be imagined.
Faced with difficulties, the Principality's Staff and Logistics Department can only pin their hopes on the supplement of air transportation and the ability of grassroots organizations to adapt to the new situation. From the point of view so far, the performance of the Principality's military logistics system can be regarded as excellent. Regardless of how the Principality Army complained, it was a remarkable achievement to protect the Principality Army all the way to the Mannerheim line of defense in an extremely primitive organizational structure and in a very harsh geographical environment and transportation system. Those who are nagging and complaining about an endless guy can go for a logistical route and experience that as the bottom of the army, there is no priority, and they have to bear the accusations of the front and the rear every day. They must face the army every minute. And folk complaints or even scolded what it tastes like. Change the grumpy and direct pick, let the **** deeply understand the taste of the days without logistics.
The logistical system of the Principality Army has been working very hard, and its performance is not good. First, it is subject to special circumstances. Second, the organizational structure is far from perfect. Third, the upper military of the Principality lacks a profound understanding of the importance of logistics.
Parsifal’s so-called “magic” is actually a bureau that lays out the above three deep issues.
At the beginning of the war, the Lapland army withdrew its elastic defenses to the Mannerheim line, which not only has complete facilities, but also is closer to the original Lapland railway line and the emergency repairs before and after the war. Replenishment, which allows the railway to fully exert its advantages in the internal defense strategy. In contrast, the railway system of the Principality Army, whether good or bad, can only transport materials and personnel to the border. The remaining distance is either transferred by floating ships, or it is fully destroyed and filled with field troops and various roadblocks. Slowly creeping on the road. When the Principality Army crossed the Tepalai River, this dilemma was further magnified. Here the river is turbulent, the bank is soaring, and large blocks of ice drift across it. The ferry conditions are extremely limited, and only a few sections can barely use boats to cross the river. With the extremely limited number of ships crossing the river and the priority to be used by field forces, the congestion delay of materials was further exacerbated. The Principality once attempted to alleviate the predicament by building bridges, but the problem was that the four army groups involved in the campaign were seriously lacking bridge-building equipment and engineers who knew how to carry out bridge-building operations. Subject to objective geographic conditions, the logistics of the Principality Army seriously lags behind, which creates conditions for Parsifal’s second-stage layout.
When the logistics of the Principality Army were severely congested, the frontline battles urgently needed a lot of weapons and ammunition to open the situation, which forced the Principality Army logistics system to make adjustments to meet the needs of the frontline. The specific measures are the establishment of various storage sites and field emergency facilities for temporary mooring, loading and unloading of floating ships. Through in-situ storage, adjust the proportion of air transportation in the entire system, set a new air transportation schedule to meet the supply of frontline troops. However, the floating ship in the Principality is not a ship that can be quickly loaded and unloaded like the empire ro-ro ship. It requires special berths and loading and unloading equipment. Secondly, when the frontline and storage sites seized the time to repair the emergency mooring facilities of floating ships, various materials were still being continuously transported from the rear, and a large amount of accumulated materials quickly exceeded the storage ceiling of the warehouse, and a large amount of ammunition was forced to open air Stacked. This is not only extremely easy to discover, but also extremely vulnerable to attack. Once attacked, you can foresee what kind of chain reaction the pile of shells will produce. Since the beginning of the war, Parsifal has not relaxed the reconnaissance of these temporary warehouses. With the cooperation of air and ground reconnaissance, he is very clear how many warehouses there are along the Tepalai River to the principality border, what are stored in the warehouse, how many vehicles and ships enter and leave each day, and carry all What is the progress of the field buoyancy equipment loading and unloading equipment? Where are they all located? He knows all about it.
He set up the bureau, and the Principality entered the game as he expected. The rest is to wait for the almost undefended warehouses to be filled with various flammable and explosive materials, and then wait for an opportunity that can cause the best damage. ——For example, the floating ship loading and unloading facilities are nearing completion~www.wuxiaspot.com~The floating ship full of supplies is moored on the ground, and the ammunition piles are all over the ground—send a small firework for the Principality Army, Just trigger a series of gorgeous chain explosions.
Finally, the most important layout is the psychological trap for the old and strong Admiral Makarov and the courageous and fearless Admiral Kolchak. These two are very clear that Parsifal’s ultimate goal is the core center of the Principality’s logistics system-the Yam Liza stronghold. Parsifal will definitely attack Yam Liza by attacking the west. This is indeed the case. But Parsifal played a small trick. He frequently mobilized the fleet to appear near the route of the floating transport convoy, posing a posture to break the attack, and successfully let the two opponents move few hands. The troops were devoted to **** and patrol, and the defensive strength of each temporary warehouse was greatly reduced, which made him successfully use the fleet and MDS to simultaneously attack multiple strongholds at the same time, causing great confusion in the deployment of the floating fleet of the Principality Army. Admiral Antzalk was calm enough to calm down and did not hurriedly dismiss the **** mission to go back and search for the Parsifal fleet that had ran away with a blow. Parsifal was also prepared to touch the unprotected transport ships on the way back. Let the victory become more perfect and wonderful.
"Oh oh... that's not good. Victory is as addictive as doping. The pursuit of victory and reputation doesn't fit my personality at all. Let's finish the work as soon as possible and retire early."
Sipping black tea with brandy, the major general who is far from the pension age, grabbed his soft hair, and said to himself in a lazy voice:
"What will happen to the next two? How can we ensure that they continue to pursue the fleet decisive battle? Sure enough... Still need to have enough weight of bait?"
