Chapter 188: , Invincible Defense (4)

The experiment of destroying the barbed wire with explosives was quite successful, but the plan to drive the sheep to step on landmines was abandoned after an experiment. Because in the experiment, they just launched a firecracker among the flocks, and the whole flock fled in chaos. After doing a little calculation according to the direction in which the flocks escaped, they knew that most of the flocks ran to them. Go up in the other direction.
If you really drove the sheep into the battle, I'm afraid there won't be too many mines that can be stepped on, but the ugly appearance will definitely make your morale lower. But everyone can't make the sheep line up in an array, singing the Pleasant Goat March to step on the mines, right?
Finally, Bagration said:
The French’s landmines have limited power. We pushed them in front with a trolley, and everyone else followed the rut.

"This will be attacked by French artillery from a long distance." Someone reminded.
The range of the artillery when using shotguns is very limited, while using solid shells, the range is far, but the killing range is very limited. It can be used to fight line infantry, and to disperse soldiers, the effect is very general. But if Bagration’s approach is adopted, it is actually going forward in columns. Going forward in columns, if hit by a solid shell, it would be a gourd.
"I think since we are going in a column, we don't push any carts." John said openly. "When we were fighting the French on the northern front, the French army at that time lacked training. If the array is not well placed, they often use the column. They rush to us with gunfire in the column mode.
Columns are easy to maintain, even in the running. As long as there is enough morale, the army can quickly approach the target in columns. Although the column was bombarded, there would be a lot of casualties once it was hit, but because of the fast approach speed, the number of times the artillery can fire has been correspondingly reduced. And because of the column, the rifle volley can only kill one or two people in the front, so the French attacked quickly and quickly in a column, and the casualties were much smaller than expected.
Once rushed to a close position, the French army spread out the column into a horizontal line, and then fired a volley to enter the bayonet fight. Relying on the superiority of numbers and high morale, the French army used such simple and rude combat methods to defeat us time and time again.
I think that pushing the car in front can reduce the casualties caused by landmines, but it will also slow down our forward speed, which will make us have to withstand more shelling. On the contrary, directly use the French method of the past assault...
Having said that, Grand Duke John looked at everyone, then pointed to the map and said: "This is the landmine area of ​​the French army. Look, if we enter in a horizontal team, all the mines here will pose a threat to us. But if we use a column, Way to enter, these mines, except for those just in front of our column, most of the mines will be useless. Compared with the loss of walking too slowly and being shelled, I think it is directly used by the French The way, the column quickly rushed in, then blasted the barbed wire with explosives, and rushed forward to solve the battle with a bayonet. Perhaps the best approach."
"Yeah! A bullet is an idiot, and a bayonet is a hero!" Bagration slapped him in agreement.
"It's just that this kind of warfare requires a very high morale. When we later fought the French army, we also wanted to imitate their tactics. But basically we failed-without the high morale of the French army, either. It is impossible to execute such a tactic." Duke John said.
As a general, Duke John is not very good in the original history. Of course, this is also unlucky for him, always being able to hit Napoleon. But this person's political ability is quite outstanding. Of course he knows what effect such a sentence can have at this time.
Sure enough, when these words were spoken, the Russian next to him exploded like a ignited powder magazine.
"Isn't it just not afraid of death? What's the problem? In Russia, some are heroes who are not afraid of death!"
"If you want me to say that they can do what the French can do, it doesn't make sense that we the Russians can't do it. I think that's great!"
"Yes, yes, the bayonet is a hero!"
Everyone screamed for a long time, and finally stopped. Many eyes fell on the old marshal Suvorov.
Suvorov looked down at the map and said nothing. Finally, he raised his head, scanned everyone, and said: "Since everyone agrees with this plan, then we will organize training for this plan. After the drill is completed, we will launch a general attack on the French position."
While Napoleon confronted the Russian-Austrian forces in Italy, on the northern front, the situation of the French army was rapidly deteriorating. Not long after the French army retreated to Liege, the Prussian army chased Liege, and the two sides confronted Liege.
In the previous retreat, the French army suffered a lot of casualties and lost almost all of its artillery. In Liege, although it was supplemented by domestic reinforcements, it was because of the wonderful weapon procurement system and the domestic reserve force. The army did not get much money for the procurement of weapons. As a result, the weapons they could hold were basically muskets that were eliminated by the army.
If it weren't for Liege's stronghold, the French army would be unable to withstand it again.
But a few days later ~EbookFREE.me~ the British army also drove their cannons, and Liege's defense suddenly became precarious.
However, as early as the French retreat from Hannover, the French government, especially Carnot, had already understood that a major crisis had occurred on the northern front. At this time, of course, the best way is to call back the Italian Legion. Otherwise, once the North fails again, I am afraid that there will be another battle of Verdun. If the battle of Verdun fails again, then Paris will really be flying the white flag.
Therefore, the Supervisory Government began to madly give orders to Napoleon, asking Napoleon to bring his troops back to China as soon as possible, and go north to fight against Britain. But Napoleon blocked all these orders on the grounds that the war was fierce and unable to retreat. The superintendent government issued twelve orders to Napoleon within a month, but Napoleon ignored them and kept sitting on the Diaoyutai in Italy.
For more than half a month, the Russian-Austrian forces have been confronting the French army. Small frictions occurred between the two sides from time to time, but there was no major battle. It seemed that everyone was on vacation.
During this period of time, the Russian army seriously rehearsed the tactics of column offensive, blowing up barbed wire with explosive bags. Finally, including Marshal Suvorov, everyone thought that the training was enough, so the time for the decisive battle came.
