Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

In the Principality’s plan of war against Lapland, the 7th Army was responsible for the main task. The troops under its command were the most abundant, and the firepower was also maximized. The purpose was to ensure that it was able to break through the weaker eastern section of the Karelia isthmus. The Lapland army expelled from the fortification area in cooperation with friendly forces, then turned to Vyborg.

However, although the 7th Army is strong, the roads available are relatively limited. The 7th Army is the most serious of all the troops that have experienced traffic jams and delayed operations. Due to the high forest coverage in the area, the roads are scarce and difficult to withstand heavy equipment, and the Lapland army destroyed the roads during the retreat, resulting in several infantry divisions and reinforced artillery regiments all blocked the road, which not only delayed the first The pace of the Seventh Army also severely restricted the logistics support of the campaign.

If it were not for Lapland’s serious lack of long-range attack weapons, at this time a rocket cover or carpet bombing could at least erase the designation of the two infantry divisions, and the remaining troops were basically destroyed even if they were not annihilated.

Faced with this unfavorable start, the upper echelons of the military of the Principality will certainly not be satisfied. A letter urging and asking about the desk that appeared in the general of Yakovlev, the language gradually became harsh and harsh. In order to get rid of the current predicament, the first-level general decided to switch the main direction of the 7th Army, from the original Vyborg to Lautu-Kiviniemi-Kekisalmi axis, along the only intact road in the local area. Assault on the west bank of Lake Ladoga.

Soon, the "right-wing assault cluster" composed of the 150th Infantry Division, the 49th Infantry Division, the 12th Regiment of the Infantry 144th Division, and the 3rd Brigade of the Cossack Cavalry and the 10th Infantry Army launched assaults in both directions. The 50th Army of Infantry was responsible for crossing Lake Suwanto in Kiviniemi, and the "right-wing assault cluster" spent the Tepalé River in Koukuniemi. After crossing the Suwanto Lake, the 144th Infantry Division (without a regiment) and the 90th Infantry Division of the 50th Infantry Army should quickly assault the Kivu-Hitola Railway Line and completely cut off the fortified area. Army lifeline. The "right-wing assault cluster" used two infantry divisions to carry out assaults on the northern bank of the Taipalai River, and after crossing the river, carried out outsourcing against the enemy's side. The two infantry divisions acting as reserve teams will follow, and once a breakthrough is made, they will immediately follow up the blow and expand the results.

From the paper, this is a flexible solution. Instead of making all the troops unable to move, it is better to turn the troops that have not been blocked on the road into mobile units, and change the direction of the attack early to break through the enemy's defense line. Weak zone. By the time the mobile unit breaks through the flanks and embarks on the enemy, the frontal battlefield should have entered the state of engagement. Enemy forces caught in the enemy's back can only choose to retreat, knowing that they just jumped from one encircling circle to another larger enclosing circle, and eventually the main force of the enemy army will be eliminated as expected.

This will be a hearty victory, and this is exactly the victory that General Yakovlev and the Principality as a whole desire.

With a sigh of relief, the general admired the battle plan with a big swipe. Full of joy, he did not know that this order would drag him and the entire Seventh Army from one disaster to another. The glorious avenue in front of him at the moment is the fast lane to the abyss.

"They are really leisurely."

Admiral Heinrich sneered and stood up to make way for the position. Colonel Vinel hurriedly moved up, and a bunch of Cossack cavalry walking on the river bank with their sabers and spears appeared in front of the artillery mirror. As the colonel adjusted the observation angle, several cavalrymen scrubbing war horses and carrying water appeared in front of him.

"The Principality Army is really miraculous, actually playing war as a play."

Colonel Vinel, the commander of the 8th Infantry Division, couldn't help but raised his head and sighed. There were three points of sighing in the sigh, which was unrealistic.

According to intelligence, this is the third Cossack cavalry brigade of the "right-wing assault cluster" under the 7th Army of the United Principality of Ross. It is commanded by Major General Pavel Ivanovich Misenko and has 22 Cossack cavalry companies. With an artillery company, the total strength is about 3,000. Commander Yakovlev, the commander of the Seventh Army, gave the ministry the task of heading out to the Tapalai River to reconcile suitable crossing locations.

There is nothing wrong with this deployment itself. It is the standard process on the battlefield to use the cavalry's motive power to go out for reconnaissance. The human camp used to do the same in the past. Nowadays, most light armored vehicles or MDSs are used for similar tasks.

The problem is that the Principality clearly has scouts that are more suitable for this environment but has not used them.

If you are worried that the bird orc race is easy to be found and shot down, and it is difficult to detect areas with high forest coverage in the air. It is possible to send out cats or dogs orc races, whether they are leopards, wolves or apes (actually insects such as Arakne, as well as reptile races with protective colors and heat sensing capabilities are also suitable for execution The problem of the forest environment investigation task is that the low temperature environment is not suitable for those tropical creatures). In this environment, it can be described as a fish. In the battles of the past hundreds of years, the human camp has not suffered from these elite scouts.

Don't use the better-handed pieces instead of throwing elite cavalry on secondary missions, rather than letting them attack Lapland's rear as in the past. Should I envy the Principality’s abundant human resources? Or, like Major General Heinrich, lament the Principality’s inattentiveness to the war? Amidst the confusion of the Lapland soldiers observing the bunker, they felt a little funny.

These soldiers are lucky, and their superior, Major General Heinrich, commander of the Lapland Army’s Third Army, not only knows the truth of the matter, but is also happy to share it with his subordinates.

"Gentlemen, the Principality is not alone."

The major general shook his head and said in a tone between sarcasm and mercy:

"For the Bear Clan, this is "Our War." For other tribes, it is "Their War."

The words of Major General Heinrich were somewhat unclear, but the slower response made it unclear exactly what the same tongue twister was saying. But all of the people present are elites, and the experience on the battlefield and the officialdom is very rich. In just a few seconds, they guessed the truth of the matter.

"You mean... distribution of benefits after the war?"

Colonel Coppilla, the commander of the 10th Infantry Division, was a little unbelievable. Perhaps the answer is logical, but if the truth is so, then it can only be called appalling.

"Yes, Colonel. When we look at this war from a military perspective, the principalities of the Principality calculate the gains and losses of this war from a political perspective. Attacking Lapland and occupying the Isthmus of Karelia were originally A war plan based on the political needs of the Principality. Its purpose is to divert domestic contradictions and use the cake of profit distribution to ease the increasingly tense domestic atmosphere. But the problem is that even if the battle is smooth, the Karelia isthmus is successfully won as expected And Hanko Peninsula-This cake is already the limit of the international situation to the Principality, and it is still too small for the entire Principality. At this time, one person will share the cake, and the other people will inevitably become smaller. "

This is actually a problem encountered by all organizations and groups. To solve this kind of problem, either make the cake bigger. Even if there are more people dividing the cake, the cake everyone gets will not become smaller, or even larger. Either find a way to exclude some people and reduce the number of cakes.

The Principality adopts the latter method, which excludes other tribes from the distribution of post-war benefits through a "pure war waged by bears."

With such a layer of consideration in mind, it will make sense that abnormal tactics and use of force will appear.

But this is only politically reasonable, but from a military perspective, it is an absolute fool.

The original advantage of the Principality Army over the human camp is its abundant human resources and diversity. Combining the optimized characteristics of different races in different fields to play the greatest combat power on the battlefield-this is the terrible place of the Principality Army. Now the Principality Army has voluntarily given up its advantages and fought in a familiar combat style...

It is also a very unwise choice to judge with the most plausible terms.

"Look at these cavalry ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ unprepared, as long as the artillery cover, we can make this cavalry brigade disappear from the surface."

Colonel Vinel showed a pleasant smile. This is his defense zone, and his artillery lineup is luxurious. Its support artillery includes the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 10th Artillery Regiment, the independent 4th Artillery Battalion, and a coastal artillery company that is ready to support. Its artillery includes 12 155㎜ howitzers, 8 105㎜ howitzers, 18 88㎜ anti-aircraft guns, 18 75㎜ anti-tank guns, 32 105㎜ recoilless guns and 1 280 of the Jerichev Coastal Artillery Company ㎜Fortified artillery (reformed from K5E train artillery).

With such a luxurious artillery firepower, even with his eyes closed, he can send this cavalry brigade directly back to his hometown, not to mention the artillery under his hands has already measured the shooting table. As long as the commander-in-chief ordered, not to mention those heavy howitzers, it was just a 88㎜ "anti-all artillery (can be used against air, ground, ship, tank, and people, indeed everything)" Then the cossack cavalry who did not seem to come to fight, but seemed to come on holiday would be bombarded directly into the sky.

"No, there is no need to waste precious shells on them."

Rear Admiral Heinrich glanced at the cossacks who were playing in the water. These intrepid and hard-working cavalry were bound to be trouble after the battle started. It’s not bad to kill them here, but it’s impossible to expose the artillery positions.

"Those guys did not carry the boat bridge equipment for crossing the river. With the rapids of the Tepalai River, they couldn't cross the river on their own. It is better to leave the shells to the guys who are behind to prepare to cross the river. Also better."

With a sigh, Major General Heinrich said in a teasing tone:

"After all, shells are not free and unlimited supply."
