Compared to the Third Army, which fell into a stalemate as soon as the war began, the Imperial Expeditionary Force led by Aslan was unstoppable.
The Ottomans had not yet mastered the essence of trench warfare. The trenches they dug were nondescript and could easily be broken through by the expeditionary force. Without a strong master at the master level to suppress the formation, they did not dare to send out a strong master at the master level and could only continue to be defeated by the expedition.
Military compression space.
As long as there are a few heavily armed Ottoman remnants, even a million-strong army will be of no avail.
After the war began, Aslan blocked all trade channels of the Ottoman Kingdom, even the sky, so that the Ottoman Kingdom could no longer receive support from the Magic City and the Maxim Empire. In the successive wars,
The loss of rifle bullets was huge. Now, with an army of one million, more than 600,000 Ottoman warriors have returned to their old swords, bows and crossbows.
Aslan looked at the good news coming back from various ministries and couldn't help laughing.
"It's still a little bit close, just a little bit close."
By taking over the Ottoman Kingdom, Aslan can unify the northern part of the continent and become the fourth super empire of the Sino Continent.
Duke Medea rolled his eyes at Aslan and looked at the battle report sent back in his hand. The Magic City began to invade the border of the Ottoman Kingdom, but it stood still on the border of the Merlox Empire. This was very strange.
The main city of Elendin has been on alert for a long time, and has received news that the Maxim Empire and the Eastern God's Religion have gathered heavy troops, but there has been no attack yet.
Finally, she turned her attention to the battle report of the Third Army.
"Arthur proposed this new tactic and achieved great results. In the attack on the Fregoni Plateau on January 12, the Third Army broke through the two lines of defense of the Free Magic Alliance in one breath. This was the beginning of trench warfare.
It is very rare in the end, because to achieve such a victory, it may often take several days of hard work." Medea exclaimed, although she didn't care about anything, she was always paying attention to the situation in the world.
"This time the Third Army achieved victory in just one day, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations." Aslan responded with a smile.
"As an experimental unit at this time, the 211th Brigade has considerable resources. Arthur's idea is very good. I am also willing to expand this unit into a division-level unit. But Arthur refused. He believed that such a bloated organization would only
It would cause the 211th Brigade to lose its assault capability. He even planned to reduce the original magical mechanized troops and retain only the combat group. The only heavy weapons were machine guns and a mortar. However, he proposed a new unit, a flamethrower equipped with a flamethrower.
Fire Soldier Arthur has a clear tactical idea, abandons all unnecessary burdens, and launches the assault as quickly as possible." Aslan continued.
"Flamethrower? What new equipment is it?" Duke Medea asked with interest.
"A close-range fire attack weapon that sprays a column of burning liquid. Also known as a flamethrower. It is mainly used to attack fire points, eliminate active forces in fortifications, kill and block attacking groups of infantry. The oil sprayed by the flamethrower forms a violently burning fire column.
, can splash around, adhere and burn along the turns of trenches and tunnels, killing targets in hiding places, and has a psychological shock effect." Aslan said this and snapped his fingers, and a light curtain appeared out of thin air, with a light reflected on it.
A soldier holding a flamethrower and carrying an oil tank on his back is spraying flames.
"Because combustion consumes a large amount of oxygen and produces toxic smoke, it can suffocate personnel inside the fortifications. When attacking solid fortifications such as tunnels and caves, flamethrowers have a unique effect that other direct-fire weapons do not have."
After listening to Aslan's introduction, Duke Medea fell into deep thought and finally made a comment.
"It's a bit like advanced magic flame splashing, except that the distance of the flame splashing is not as exaggerated as the flamethrower."
Aslan secretly made a note to send a message to Arthur later, asking him to pay attention to prevent the Magic City from playing this trick in advance.
Compared to the Maxim Empire and the Eastern God Sect, the Magic City is the strongest in the development of magic weapons on the mainland.
"You seem to be very optimistic about the army trained by Arthur?" Duke Medea curiously looked through the documents reviewed by Aslan, which gave many suggestions and key comments.
"The training of this unit is very meaningful, because it means that the empire's infantry tactics have improved dramatically compared to the past. The infantry's group charge tactics themselves lack value. People who have experienced trench warfare have fully realized this.
A new way of fighting is urgently needed to accomplish all this."
"The 211th Brigade itself has indeed proven itself on the battlefield and demonstrated its combat effectiveness on the battlefield. This success will definitely inspire the entire army, so the 211th Brigade was ordered to train more officers and soldiers to form a new assault regiment.
, must we give this assault force a name?" Aslan said, holding his chin.
Duke Medea said straightforwardly: "Let's call them Stormtroopers!"
Aslan twitched the corner of his mouth, carefully tasted Duke Medea's proposal and then said: "Okay, just listen to Medea."
Duke Medea glanced at Aslan unexpectedly. He did not expect that Aslan would agree to his casual joke without hesitation.
"Don't think about it again." Duke Medea asked tentatively.
Aslan shook his head and directly hugged Duke Medea into his arms.
"As long as you like it."
Duke Medea gave Aslan a white look and took the initiative to put her arms around Aslan's neck.
"Then what are you still hesitating about?" Duke Medea made a noise in the lounge behind the desk, hinting that it would be better for him to take action.
Aslan's mouth twitched and he quickly found an excuse and said: "Arthur's tactics are not perfect enough. An assault team that requires the cooperation of multiple arms will be able to effectively conquer fortresses, bunkers and firepower points, and allow troops to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory.
Thus causing confusion to the enemy at various locations. However, it is obviously not realistic to rely on such fortifications to defeat the Free Magic Alliance. It requires further improvement in technology and equipment."
"Then what?" Duke Medea asked calmly.
"The Bayi Rifle allows the Storm Commandos to pour a large amount of firepower on the enemy in a short period of time. Combined with the Type 56 light machine gun and flamethrower, the Storm Commandos can eliminate any enemy in a short-range confrontation. It is recommended that the Storm Commandos use artillery fire
Under the cover of the enemy, they launched an assault under the barrage. After clearing the enemy in the trenches, they defended the trenches occupied by them and waited for the arrival of reinforcements, and then launched another assault in depth until their combat objectives were achieved..."
Aslan began to give suggestions in the reply, and also suggested that Arthur continue to reduce the size of the Stormtroopers. It was still too big to operate at the scale of a brigade, and it might be better to operate at the scale of an infantry regiment.
