Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter tactician master
In July of the twenty-first year of Qian Sheng, the northern peninsula of the Orissa Empire in the southern continent.
At this time, three months had passed since the Daheng Empire declared war on the Orissa Empire. As soon as the war began, the Daheng Empire quickly assembled a large fleet and then launched a strong cross-sea landing operation.
In the early stage of the landing operation, although the Orissa Empire Navy resisted desperately and paid a heavy price, it still failed to stop the huge Daheng Empire fleet.
After crushing the resistance of the Orissa Empire Navy, the Daheng Empire Navy began to cover the huge landing fleet for the landing.
The 27th Army, which had been training for amphibious landing operations for many years, did not disappoint the expectations of the military's top brass. It successfully landed and crushed the beachhead resistance of the Orissa Imperial Army, and then captured the port city near the landing site, and then was able to Receive massive reinforcements and heavy weapons.
After the successful landing, the 27th Army turned around and headed north, running for dozens of kilometers and inserting itself into the defense line deployed by the Orissa Empire along the coast of the Endless Strait.
After a fierce battle, they quickly captured the eastern coastal area of the Endless Strait.
At the same time, the navy also dispatched a fleet to venture into the strait to provide cover for the army's second-stage cross-sea landing.
In the second phase of the large-scale landing operation across the endless straits, the navy invested a total of hundreds of warships. In addition to a large number of large-tonnage warships, there were even more various torpedo boats, minelayers, mine-clearing ships and other ships. kind.
Provide sufficient support for the transport ship fleet's continuous round-trip transportation of landing troops.
During this process, the Orissa Empire Navy did not give up. They mobilized almost all the warships they could mobilize and launched a counterattack in the Endless Strait, trying to break through the Daheng Empire Navy's defense line and thus threaten the landing transportation lines.
But it is a pity that despite their bravery, they still failed to succeed in the face of the absolute superiority of the Daheng Empire's navy.
In a series of defensive operations in the Endless Straits, the Daheng Empire Navy once again proved that unified all-heavy artillery battleships are the undisputed core force in naval battles.
The large number of capital ships of the Daheng Empire Navy, even in the narrow and endless straits with a width of only tens of kilometers, still use their high-speed maneuverability, ultra-long effective range, and powerful naval guns to build an impossible path. Lines of defense crossed.
Many battleships of the Orissa Empire, even if they risked their lives to attack, many of them began to be hit by the main guns of the Daheng Empire battleships more than ten kilometers away, and were sunk before they even entered the effective range.
In addition to the main fleet of the Daheng Empire, there are also a large number of destroyers and cruisers to assist, as well as hundreds of torpedo speedboats to assist.
This led to the Battle of the Endless Straits, turning the remaining forces of the Orissa Empire's navy into a suicidal operation.
The courage of the Orissa people, but the absolute numerical and qualitative advantages of the Daheng people, barely made them a loophole in the air.
After the Daheng Empire Navy successfully covered the second phase of the Army's landing, the Army's performance was quite satisfactory, and even the battle was a bit difficult, because the Daheng Army did not have an advantage in strength in the early stage of the battle.
The people of Daheng always focus on numerical superiority when fighting, regardless of whether it is military strength or firepower.
Therefore, the generals of the Daheng people studied more on how to assemble superior troops and firepower, instead of studying how to fight with inferior troops and firepower.
Naval operations are a typical example. They purely use the performance and numerical advantages of warships. There are not many real tactical skills, and even the gunnery skills are not good...
The difference in gunnery skills of the Daheng Empire Navy is globally recognized. Even the navy of the Orr Kingdom, the younger brother of the Daheng people, has better gunnery skills than the Daheng Empire Navy...
Not to mention those old naval powers.
However, the Daheng Empire Army was not so lucky, and it was difficult to form an absolute numerical advantage in the early stages of the war.
Although the equipment of the Daheng Empire Army is also good, there is actually no generational difference with the army equipment of other countries, and there is no advantage in performance.
In terms of artillery, the new artillery of the Daheng Empire Army is a rapid-fire cannon, but other land powers are also equipped with rapid-fire cannons. It is just that the Daheng Empire has more artillery, and the caliber of the artillery is generally larger.
Even the Daheng Empire's original mortar was not taken seriously by other countries a few years ago, but now it is basically accepted by various countries and equipped in large quantities. The Daheng Empire's 60mm mortar was exported to
There are more than ten countries, and there are also many imitation countries.
As for light weapons, the machine guns of the Daheng Empire Army are all old-fashioned. Everyone has them, and everyone has similar rifles.
However, there are several new gadgets that other countries have not yet equipped on a large scale. One is a grenade and the other is a light machine gun.
The light machine gun is a new weapon that was just equipped by the Daheng Empire last year. The purpose of research and development is very simple. That is, the current heavy machine gun is too heavy. It weighs dozens of kilograms and cannot accompany the infantry in time. When the infantry launches an attack,
At that time, the heavy machine gun couldn't keep up.
Therefore, the Army needs a machine gun that can follow the pace of infantry attacks and provide continuous firepower, so the development and equipment of light machine guns have begun.
This is how the 20-year-old light machine gun came about. It uses eight-millimeter rifle ammunition, a top-loading thirty-round magazine, a gas-guided type, and a bipod. It weighs only 11 kilograms and can be carried by a single soldier in combat.
This 20-year-old light machine gun was successfully developed and put through various tests last year. It has only been equipped in small quantities this year. It is the latest generation of light weapons belonging to the army. After the outbreak of the Heng'ao War, the military began emergency procurement because of the war.
However, production, training and tactical coordination still take time. Therefore, when the second stage of landing was launched, the number of light machine guns participating in the battle was actually very limited, only one or two hundred.
Overall, although the equipment performance of the Daheng Empire Army is better than that of the Orissa Empire Army, the performance is limited, at least there is no generational difference.
In terms of quantity, although the Daheng Empire has always liked to use numbers to suppress people, it is limited by the limitations of sea crossing and landing operations. The number of combat troops in the first and second phases is limited, and the number of heavy weapons equipped is also limited, especially
It is a heavy artillery unit that the Daheng Empire Army is proud of, but in fact it has very few practical applications.
However, the landing force of the Daheng Empire Army stabilized its position, relying on steady attacks to be blocked by the enemy's counterattack, and responded to the third phase of the landing force.
The reason why the Daheng Empire Army said that they performed well at this stage is that they were not defeated even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength and equipment...
They usually fight with superior force and superior weapons. If you let them fight when they are inferior in military strength and firepower, to be honest, it will be embarrassing...
But to be able to hold on in such a difficult situation is no longer easy for the people of Daheng.
Therefore, he commanded the second phase of the landing operation. With less than 200,000 troops, he withstood the early counterattack of more than 300,000 Orissa troops, defended the landing site, and successfully responded to the commander of the Fourth Army Corps of the third phase of the landing force.
General Chen Silin was instantly praised as a master tactician in China...
Then, in the follow-up battle southward, the Fourth Army ran into the second line of defense of the Orissans. They were unable to defeat them, and the casualties were quite high!
