Chapter 1627 U.S. Army Observer Group (3)

"So, on land, your country can also adopt a war of attrition, which is to fight a large-scale war of attrition where the Japanese gave up, whether it is the oil and rubber producing areas of Kalimantan or the copper of Guinea. Mines and other mines, these places are the essence of these islands. As long as your country concentrates its forces on attacking these areas, then Japan must defend it regardless of whether Japan wants it. Then, pull the Japanese army from the rugged mountains and lush jungles. Attract it out and fight a modern war on the pre-determined battlefield of the US military. You don't even have to win it. As long as you can continue to consume it, then believe me, it is Japan that will ultimately succumb!" The prince said with a smile.

"Although it is not so beautiful to win this way, it is a very good way." Pershing nodded and said.

"The correct strategy only points out the direction. As a force that has not experienced modern large-scale combat for a long time, your country has many things to learn. The cooperation of infantry and artillery is only the most basic, and the cooperation of armored forces and infantry is considered to be the most basic. Advanced. And the cooperation between the air force and the ground is the mainstream of future tactics. Of course, these are at the tactical level. At the operational level, how to use one's own mobile and reconnaissance advantages to find the enemy's loopholes and create opportunities to establish victory at one fell swoop That’s the most important thing. For example, in the battle we are about to start, I can tell you very clearly that the troops we put in are not stronger than the French, and the technical equipment we have is not superior, but in this battle , We are the hunters, and the French are the prey."

Prince Ruprecht doesn’t mind teaching the Americans at this time. After all, everyone is now allies. At least on the surface, they should make these senior U.S. Army leaders feel that they are valued, and their senses will come back to the United States. Become real money to support Germany, what? You said that if Americans learn well, what will happen in 20 years? The brothers are too far away, and 20 years later, the way of warfare created by technology will change again. Is it just to say that the staff are always ready for the last war?

"The mobility of an army is an important part of the combat effectiveness of the army. In the Middle Ages, the cavalry relied on powerful mobility and penetrating power to dominate the battlefield for hundreds of years. In the Napoleonic period, as the army became more and more equipped, The heavy vehicles did not develop significantly, resulting in a continuous decline in the mobility of the troops. During the Napoleonic Wars, the marching speed of the large troops could reach up to 50 kilometers per day, and during the Russo-Japanese War, they were separated from the railway line. The movement speed of the army is only 25 kilometers up and down. But today, everything has changed because we have cars, tanks and planes."

"If you want to defeat the French army in front of us, it is very difficult to rely solely on positional warfare and advancement. The opponent has at least 30 companies of long-range artillery, shooting distances from 15 to 18 kilometers. Artillery in a semi-permanent offensive can Covers most of the area. In this case, if our troops stay at a certain point for a long time, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. Everyone coming from the Western Front should know that the current fire suppression lasts for several hours. It’s normal."

"Our artillery is inferior to our opponents in quantity and quality, and it is difficult for the air force to suppress hundreds of long-range artillery, so what needs to be done now? Naturally, it is a quick assault, constant movement, and deep penetration of the opponent. Or outflank and not fight in the opponent's preset position!"

"In this battle, my troops will completely disrupt the fragile boundary between the enemy's front and rear, and at the same time use the accompanying self-propelled artillery to concentrate superior firepower in a certain direction to suppress. We will work hard and deploy the opponent The defense lines of a large number of troops slid behind, and then thrust directly into their most vulnerable part like a sharp blade."

"The opponent is not lack of troops, nor is it lack of sufficient heavy weapons, nor is it lack of supply. The key is that they can't figure out us and are completely led by our nose. A large number of troops move slowly between the defense lines, precious. Time and fighters were wasted on the road. On the battlefield, any small failure may lead to extremely serious consequences!" The prince said vigorously.

"But if the opponent’s line of defense is deep enough and minefields, obstacles, and trenches are deployed, it will not be easy for your side to break through. On the entire western front, the two sides are not without tanks and armored units, but they often break through at the beginning. After a few layers of defense, it will feel like being stuck in a quagmire."

Major Marshall thought for a while and said that the trench attack and defense on the Western Front had a profound impact on him. Countless soldiers and thousands of tons of ammunition were poured in a small place. Both sides paid tens of thousands of people. The price can often only make the show move a few hundred meters. This is not a war, but a massacre!

"Any tactics are established on the basis of the same level of strength. If the gap is too large to the extent that a dog can win, then naturally there is no point in discussing it. In my current hands It’s obviously very difficult for us to break through the western line of defense with our troops, because our forces are not equal and the gap is too big. So this time we are just a preview of the future battle on the western line, how can we be roughly equal in strength? , Break through the opponent's line of defense and wipe out the opponent." The prince explained.

Is Bavaria strong? Naturally it is very strong, but if you look at the Western Front, the scale and strength are far from enough to launch a decisive battle in a certain direction. A group army on the Western Front is more than 800,000, without thousands of artillery~www .lightnovelpub.net~ Without dozens of train guns, hundreds of 210MM heavy howitzers and K09 cannons, you are ashamed to say that you are going to launch a large-scale attack on the Western Front? Are you kidding me?

The prince was not worried that such a battle would not be fought on the Western Front in the future. To put it aside, from a historical point of view, there were no tanks in time, and the German Army, whose air force was not dominant, also fought the emperor's offensive in the late World War I. Did the French crash? In this era, the Americans did not participate in the war. On the contrary, they were still on the side of the Germans. Not to mention whether they could once again parade on the Champs-Elysées, at least play an advantage, and let Paris be within the range of the K09 artillery. Put the gun on your forehead, afraid that you will not accept it?

Besides, when the Bavarian Army really went to the Western Front, the army was dominated by the Germans both in terms of quantity and quality. In terms of relative strength, the Western Front should be better than this time, at least on the Western Front. The total number of German armored forces and forces combined is dominant, and the artillery and air force can at least be equal. Here, apart from the air force, the number of armored forces is not dominant, and the artillery is even more disadvantaged.

"Then we will wait and see." Old black man Pershing said meaningfully.
