Chapter 193: Landing exercise

Squinting at the basic training of the recruits, it has been two or three months, so Marin decided to add some more complicated subjects, such as landing ...
After all, Marin wanted to sneak in Emden, and he had to send his army to land before sneaking under Emden and entering the city through the tunnel.
However, this landing is very difficult. Because, Marin's plan was to land in the middle of the night, and then march down to Emden.
登陆 Landing in the middle of the night, this is very difficult. Because he did not land with a few people, but with thousands of people. Therefore, Marin naturally exercises well in advance. Otherwise, if you land in trouble, let alone attack the enemy, you can mess up.
Of course, Marin didn't land such a difficult training in the middle of the night at once, but first trained to land on the beach during the day.
满足 In order to meet the training, Marin recruited some fishing boats to help train landing. To this end, Marin's plan was to let the soldiers take a fishing boat and set off from the fishing port of Odeshilde, landing on the second largest island, Terschelling, on the port.
Marin had a good idea, and he felt that landing should not be difficult. Prior to this, Frenzberger also led 1,000 troops and landed in Friesland from Texel Island to help fight the Frisian aristocratic republic.
The first landing exercise was no problem, it was too long. It took more than 5,000 soldiers and horses for half a day before they all landed in the port of Terschelling. It's still daytime. If you want to change it to night, it might not be enough overnight.
However, this can not blame everyone for landing slowly. Because, Terschelling is a small, small fishing port with only a small long bridge pier. Marin's fishing boat cluster had to take turns to unload soldiers at the Longqiao Pier, which was very time-consuming.
Therefore, Marin thought about going back and forth, but still felt that it was faster to land on the beach. It's no wonder that the Allies wanted to land on the beach in Normandy instead of looking at the port.
Because the number of vessels docked at the port is limited. When the ships take turns unloading the army from the dock, it is not a problem to have a small number of people. If the number is large, the ghost knows when to wait.
For a large landing like the Normandy landing, two or three million people participated. No port can afford it. If the ships line up to unload two or three million troops, the ghost knows that it will take years to unload ...
Similarly, Marin must not wait. His time is limited. Since it is a sneak attack, he must land in the middle of the night. Also, the login time should not be too long. Otherwise, if it's dawn, it's not a sneak attack, but a storm attack. If it's a storm, Marin isn't confident. It wasn't that he couldn't beat it, but he was worried that the recruits under him would collapse because of too much psychological pressure.
War is very cruel, in addition to the postgraduate combat level, but also the will of the postgraduate. Veterans are no problem, they are used to facing life and death. For example, the veterans of the First Front under Marin, experienced battles with Friesland, are psychologically much stronger. The other three Phalanx soldiers are all recruits who have not fought, but the length of training is different.
Recruits' first battle is very important. If they survive, they will all become veterans. And if it ca n’t survive, it will lead to defeat. Then, the entire army would accompany them to die.
So, for security, Marinen could use several times the army to attack Emden's 1,000 garrisons, and he was unwilling to force the East Frisian army. Because, in hard shock, recruits with substandard psychological quality are too easy to collapse.
这次 And this time, Marin organized a sneak attack, and it was several times the enemy. Even if the recruit's psychological quality is not good, they can still win steadily, as long as they can open the gate of Emden ...
In order to improve efficiency, Marin changed to landing on the beach during the second landing exercise. However, the result of landing on the beach made Marin almost vomit blood ...
Jain 700 Frisian captives, very skilled at landing on the beach. After all, they were all Frisian, and they all grew up by the sea. There was absolutely no pressure on landing while tide was in place. And the other 5,000 German mercenaries from the outback were tragedy ...
The soldiers of the First Front, who had lived on Texel for a long time, were more suitable for landing on the beach. After all, they already had a landing experience before. Although the landing was also very embarrassing, but finally experienced.
But the recruits of the other three squares are purely inexperienced. When the beach landing was carried out, the new recruits stumbled on the beach. Either someone was stuck on the beach and couldn't extricate themselves, or someone bumped together and rolled into a ball on the beach ... In short, the recruits were not suitable ...
After all, these recruits are all dry ducks from the inland of Germany. They are very uncomfortable with seawater, tides and mud ...
In desperation, Marin had to send those Frisian prisoners of war to help those stumble recruits, and finally dragged them all ashore ...
Of course, Marin has no experience in leading the army to land on the beach. But this time, he landed a lot of lessons.
For example, when landing on the beach, soldiers cannot bear too much weight, it is best not to wear armor. Otherwise, it is easy to fall into the sand pit or mud pit.
Also, don't wear thick clothes. Landing on the beach will inevitably deal with the sea. If you wear thick clothes and in the seawater, it will be very heavy and it will easily cause landing difficulties.
In addition, landing on the beach, the musketeers' fire rope and gunpowder are easily wet. Once wet, the musketeers would die. Therefore, to land on the beach, the Musketeers must bring waterproof pockets, and put the fire rope and gunpowder inside. After landing, open the waterproof bag and remove the fire rope and gunpowder for use.
Finally, war horses are not suitable for landing on the beach. Marin took a few horses this time. As a result, only one horse successfully landed on the beach. The other horses were trapped in the bunker. In the past, I helped Mara out.
After returning, Marin held Schwartz and Flenzberg to hold a meeting. After discussion, the three agreed that: First, the Musketeers must be equipped with waterproof leather pockets to ensure that the Musketeers can land smoothly Shooting; Second, horses and armor are not suitable for landing on the beach. For these heavy gadgets, you still need to find a long bridge pier to land separately.
Fortunately, there are not many horses, and the armor can be carried together with several pieces. It's not too bad to use the dock.
So, after discussion, the three people decided that the landing place was a place close to a small fishing village. The crew first landed near the fishing village, then quickly controlled the fishing village pier, waiting for the ships and armored vessels to dock and unload.
Then the whole team put on the armor and marched in the direction of Emden ...
登陆 The distance from the landing site to Emden is preferably about 15 kilometers. This distance is not easy to attract the attention of Emden. Moreover, it did not prevent everyone from marching to Emden. Because, at a distance of 15 kilometers, it will be two or three hours away. If the army lands in the middle of the night, it can basically reach the Emden city before dawn, and then, relying on the tunnel, send people to open the gate, and quickly control the city's main roads while the guards are not awake And important places ...
Of course, this is just a plan and it may not be 100% achieved. It was hard for Marin to be satisfied when he saw the wolves of the German recruits on the beach. However, it is still early and you can train slowly. Wait until the soldiers are used to landing on the beach, when Marin launches an attack ...
