Karl raised his head and drank a glass of wine. "You are right. In a military unit, a single soldier is always the unit with the weakest firepower output. Each soldier has a gun and a bayonet. The damage he can cause is extremely limited. Only Can rely on human sea tactics to increase firepower density..."
"But Xiao Letian's tactics completely changed this inherent thinking. He began to equip firepower three-dimensionally! God, what kind of genius is this? How could he have such a strange idea?"
"In the bloody battle of Dakar, the 180 soldiers were not just 180 soldiers, they were the 180 pairs of battlefield eyes of the Zhiyuan's main gun. The most important task of these soldiers was not to rely on their own rifles to attack the enemy, but It becomes a small platform for fire control!”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Chief of General Moltke suddenly arrived. As soon as the prince and the prime minister entered the door, they saw old Moltke's eyes were red. He might not have slept well for several days. He threw his leather briefcase on the desk and took out a document and handed it to them.
The chief of general staff said nothing. He poured himself a large glass of soda water and drank it in one gulp. Karl and Bismarck carefully looked through the battle analysis report of the staff department, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"We thought of going together, but we didn't expect you to also use the word three-dimensional!"
Old Mao Qi was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Are we really old? Why was this brand-new tactical idea thought up by a Chinese? I really don't understand, it's such a pity..."
"Yes, I can only use three-dimensional to describe this weird tactic. Xiao Letian did not operate each unit separately, but overlapped them three-dimensionally. The firepower output of a single soldier is very weak, but when this Once a soldier has the ability to position a 210-caliber breech-loaded cannon, that single soldier will already be intersecting with the firepower of that cannon!"
"We have all seen the power of the explosion of 210-caliber artillery shells. According to the density of the square formations in the current European army drills, one artillery shell can wipe out a company of troops, or even more..."
"Not only that, the soldiers trained by Xiao Letian attach great importance to sniper training. Their equipment is also full of various types of grenades. In other words, he is trying to improve the firepower output of individual soldiers as much as possible. This is not just In order to destroy the enemy, powerful firepower is the guarantee for the survival of these soldiers..."
Karl slapped his thigh, "Yes, this is Xiao Letian's way of using troops. He knows that he is still very weak, so he cannot choose to build a continental army with millions of people like us, or build a navy that dominates the world like the United Kingdom." , he can only make his limited troops three-dimensional, so as to achieve the result of one plus one being greater than two..."
It was only at this moment that the three Prussian Empire elites finally understood the core of Xiao Letian's strategy and tactics, and everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Their analysis was not wrong at all. The core tactical thinking of the Marine Corps established by Xiao Letian was actually the three-dimensional combat thinking that began to appear in World War II.
In later film and television works, especially American war works, we can often see that a US military unit suddenly encounters an enemy. While launching a shooting operation, they will immediately use radios, satellite phones and other facilities. Request air strikes.
After the rear headquarters receives combat information and confirms the situation, the headquarters will immediately dispatch the air power or even long-range Tomahawk missiles closest to the conflict area to carry out precise strikes against the incoming enemy.
Maybe there is only one company of U.S. troops under siege, or maybe a full regiment of troops is surrounded by the enemy. It seems that there is a huge difference in strength, but when these soldiers are superimposed on the firepower output of aerial bombs and cruise missiles, you still think it is just A company of troops?
This is the principle of the simplest three-dimensional combat. Those officers and soldiers lying on the ground talking dirty words and shouting for support are not timid or cowards. Everything they did could not be just a standard process in three-dimensional combat. In that sudden conflict location, it was enough for the soldiers to be able to position the long-range firepower. Acting as a hero was definitely not advisable.
Of course, Xiao Letian cannot build a Stuka dive bomber now, let alone a cruise missile. In today's world, even radio has not been invented, so three-dimensional combat seems a bit impossible.
But under limited conditions, you can still make a bold attempt, just like the Marine Corps in Ryukyu.
Old Moltke slammed the table, "This is how the French army lost in Dakar. I can even use my mind to imagine the battle scene at that time. In the narrow streets, hundreds of French soldiers held rifles and fired at the Chinese people." When launching charges and volleys, these Chinese people don't have to fight hard at all!"
"They only need to send one or two dead soldiers, one or two victims, quietly approach the enemy with signal positioning fireworks, quietly lurk over, and light the signal closest to the French army... The three 210 main guns all fired at once Shooting enough can cover the strength of two or three companies..."
"In other words, the Chinese achieved the greatest results with the smallest sacrifice. The French army thought they were fighting 180 soldiers, but in fact they were actually fighting the firepower of 180 210mm main guns! How could that be possible? If you are undefeated...how can you be undefeated!"
Old Moltke had no idea that these young Chinese people were far more cunning than he thought. They did not rely on their own strength to approach the French army. They actually used large sums of gold to hire black people to help them locate their positions. What a destructive move. ! It’s really shameful!
Bismarck thought more deeply. He took a deep breath from his pipe. The spicy taste made him more awake. "It seems that we really have to thank the Dakar for this battle, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to deduce." Xiao Letian’s strategic intention..."
"I have always wondered why Xiao Letian has been expanding the army to a limited extent. So far, his total strength has not exceeded 20,000. With his economic strength, he can expand the army ten times? I used to think that Xiao Letian was politically motivated. Thinking about it, I don’t want to anger the Qing Dynasty, or it may be said that he is obsessed with the policy of elite soldiers... Now it seems that I was completely wrong!"
Bismarck frowned, "Xiao Letian should have had the idea of this kind of battleship from the beginning. He was very sure that this kind of large-caliber long-range precision artillery would become the mainstream on the battlefield. In other words, he had already thought about it from the beginning. With this idea of three-dimensional combat..."
"No wonder he is accustomed to calling his army soldiers the name Marine Corps. It turns out that the roots are here. He wants to combine the heavy firepower of the navy with the flexibility of the army... It is conceivable that this tactic will once Mature, then as long as they are within the range of the battleship's artillery, Xiao Letian's army is invincible!"
