"Ruprecht, you did a very good job. You provided Germany with a very good offensive weapon. Our soldiers no longer had to brave the guns and bullets, use explosives and flamethrowers to clean up the annoying trenches and burrows. After using heavy artillery to attack the opponent's positions, your new weapon supplements the last link of breaking the enemy's defense line!" After the observation, Prince Leopold expressed his appreciation for the prince without hesitation.

Prince Leopold had worked in artillery before. He firmly believed in the combat ideas of artillery conquest and infantry occupation. He was also very sensitive to the development of technology and changes in war mode. He had discovered a problem earlier than his other colleagues, a problem that could not be solved throughout the first battle, that is, in the Western Front, where the front line is relatively narrow, but the troops and firepower are concentrated, the defense party gained too much advantage with the help of trenches and bunkers. Even this advantage is applicable to areas with longer front lines such as the Eastern Front.

In the future, the German army will eventually be the attacking side. Germany has limited resources. If it cannot defeat its opponent, the final result will be exhausted by the opponent. Therefore, what the Prince has been studying this year is how to break through the opponent's key defense and then shake the opponent's entire defense line!

The prince's military experience and research over the years have basically taken shape. Although his overall idea is similar to that in the past, he has become much more delicate in terms of operations.

The firepower preparation during attack consists of two parts. The first part is the curved attack of long-range artillery artillery, which begins to attack ordinary targets and strike at depth. The second part is the direct aiming attack of heavy artillery troops.

With the development of technology, there are always some bunkers that can be well built. They are low and outside the attack range of most curved artillery artillery. They are strong and can even block the attack of 210mm heavy artillery. They are powerful and have a large number of machine guns and rapid-fire artillery. They now have a brand new name - support point!

Therefore, in order to deal with these strong fortresses, in addition to using a small number of super siege cannons, they must concentrate them with flat-fired cannons and conduct repeated attacks. For example, level the 150mm cannon and 210mm howitzer, and then deploy to the front line before the attack begins to conduct intensive direct-sight shooting!

(It is said in history that during the Battle of Verdun, at key locations, German artillery deployed their own heavy artillery at the scale of a 210mm heavy howitzer company every 150 meters!)

Subsequently, the elite infantry will make breakthroughs under the cover of direct firepower and machine guns, and strive to lay down several wedges on the opponent's front line. The long-range artillery troops will immediately switch to suppress and isolate, suppressing the opponent's long-range artillery with bullets, reducing the pressure on our offensive forces. On the other hand, they will use artillery shells to isolate the attacking locations to prevent the opponent's reinforcements from reinforcements.

In the last step, the large army naturally occupied the opponent's position along the road opened by commandos and artillery fire, and expanded to the surroundings. Of course, the expansion here is not to penetrate deep into the depth, but to conduct horizontal attacks on both sides on the front line, striving to tear open the opponent's defense line and annihilate as many enemies as possible on the defense line.

Leopold's entire plan was almost complete, but before seeing the breakthrough tank, he still lacked one link, which was what kind of weapon to accompany the infantry to destroy the ubiquitous machine gun points. Artillery did not solve all problems. No matter how fierce the firepower was, there were always some firepower points and trenches that could survive the fierce shelling.

Even if one-tenth of the firepower point survives, it will be a big trouble for the attacking party! A machine gun with sufficient ammunition and good position can block the offensive path of a company. The soldiers themselves are too fragile in the face of these firepower. Perhaps they will have mortars and peaceful guns to destroy these firepower points, but these things move too slowly and are also very fragile. In this battle between the enemy and the dark, the defense itself has a chance!

More importantly, the situation on the battlefield can change at any time. As time goes by, the defensive party can concentrate more powerful firepower and troops to block the gap. The advantage of the offensive party is time-limited. If the situation is not opened for a long time, it will inevitably be squeezed out by the defensive party.

Now, the emergence of the No. 2 of the Breakthrough Tank has filled this last link! With this tank that can withstand more than 90% of the firepower on the battlefield and is equipped with a 75mm howitzer, these vehicles can accompany the infantry, block bullets for the infantry, destroy firepower points along the way for the infantry, and even carry supplies for the infantry (historically, the British MK1 tanks once carried a large amount of food and ammunition, not only for their own craftsmen, but also for the accompanying infantry to solve the supply problems.)

Prince Leopold, like those decisive masters in the novel, got no secret in an instant and then broke through to a new realm. What the prince did was to help the prince supplement the last shortcoming, and the prince, who thought he had no shortcomings in tactics, shared this tactic with the prince very proudly. And on the night, he deduced it for the prince on the sand table.

After listening to the prince's introduction, the prince was both happy and proud. What was happy was that his uncle, the commander-in-chief of the German Eastern Front, had already learned in advance the essence of the German Army's tactics in World War 1. Assault tactics, centralized use and isolation of artillery, and suppression. These secrets that severely defeated the Allies in World War 1 are of extraordinary value, which means that the Bavarian Legion will reduce unnecessary sacrifices in the future World War 1.

As for being proud? It is entirely based on the accumulation of time travelers for hundreds of years! In the prince's opinion, his uncle's tactics are indeed very powerful, but there are still some improvements, especially when putting them on the battlefield on the Eastern Front. Even if Prince Leopold's tactics are successful, they can achieve only a tactical breakthrough and cannot be transformed into strategic victory!

"It's just one step away." The prince thought to himself. It would be a pity. If Prince Leopold could change the last step to develop in depth and complete the division and surround the opponent, rather than horizontally expanding horizontally, it would be even better. If the prince could form a fast assault group with cavalry, armored troops and elite infantry, and then transport it with cars, then this would be a primitive fast maneuvering strike force. Even a primitive version of blitz in Battle 1 would be hopeful. It felt like it was a pity that his uncle was limited. Otherwise, his uncle would be the first among the indigenous people to understand the 2-war Descendant Vocational High Book!
