Forty-Two Frenzberg

In an instant, it might have taken a long time, and the duel between the great magicians who could only decide the winner after one party exhausted the magical aura they had accumulated came to an end.

Frenzberg looked at his two burnt and wounded palms with a bitter smile of disappointment on his face: "Even with the most advanced petrification magic, there is no guarantee that the mortal body can withstand such an impact... What a pity, what a pity."

The bone-piercing pain in the hand that had dissipated the magic began to haunt, and Frenzberg's face paled. He leaned against the still-cold cannon and looked at his palm thoughtfully.

What kind of person can come up with such a terrible principle? Magicians do not lack the means of long-range attack, and even use the attack distance to crush mortals. However, this kind of ability to change the attack mode in front of him has never been discovered.

Creating something that can explode is actually very simple for magicians, and alchemists can also create some explosives - but those explosives can only be released by throwing and other means, and the attack distance is of course poor.

This kind of thing called a cannon is different. It actually does the opposite. It uses the instantaneous expansion of the explosion to push the object to fly at a very high speed. Using speed to kill people is something that I never dared to think about before.

"Teacher..." Apprentice William, who finally got up from the ground, staggered to Frenzberg's side, clutching his chest and panting. He just thought that he was dead, but now he has been waiting for a twist.

The great magician who seemed to be unstoppable just now, was lying on the ground like minced meat at this moment, without a breath. The Great Magician of Leysin is dead, and killed by one move...

The impact of this picture is too strong, and William needs to digest it well. But before he could digest the shock in his heart, the picture became even bloodier.

Blood began to seep out of the mung bean-sized wounds, pooling together before cooling, and pouring out the white, riddled magician's robes. Then, the pale blue blood began to spread on the mirror-smooth marble floor, and it was disgusting to look at.

You must know that fire magic has always been the most cost-effective magic. Its power is powerful, its preparation speed is faster, and its attack distance is the farthest. It is the magic that magicians like to use most.

The remaining types of magic are more slanted: Thunder magic has the fastest attack speed but takes the longest to prepare and is the most difficult to cast; Wind magic weakens rapidly with the increase of distance from the body, so it is not suitable for long-distance battles...

As for water-based magic, it consumes too much magic energy. It belongs to the "borrowing-type magic" that communicates with nature. It is the most exquisite and least cost-effective magic method.

Therefore, few magicians bleed to death in a duel, and magicians rarely see each other's blood: because of the relationship between the cultivation of magic breath, their blood is obviously different from the blood of mortals, exuding Faint blue glow.

William, who saw the blood, began to feel his stomach surging again: The magician is an elegant being, and they are all civilized people who are not used to seeing blood, so when he saw so much blood spread on the ground by chance, William was very surprised. There is an urge to vomit.

That's how people are, even if a magician might use magic to slaughter hundreds of mortals in a war, they don't see blood -- especially, they don't see blood from their companions.

"I'm going to... Alan Hill." Frenzberg reluctantly walked back to his desk, took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer, and poured it on his injured hands Suddenly he asked, "Would you like to go with me?"

"Where can I learn this new magic?" William finally suppressed the urge to retching and asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to have a look and see what's interesting there." Frenzberg nodded: "You have a good talent and a good age. If you go there, you may be able to inherit my mantle. "

"I'm willing to go! I'm willing to go with you!" William felt that it was not unbearable to be able to inherit the mantle of Frenzberg, even if he lived in the territory of mortals for a year.

Frenzberg continued to nod, and then with some difficulty he stretched his legs and walked towards the door: "Follow me! There is nothing left to linger on here! The future of the Holy Demon Empire is not here, our future Not here either."

"Corrupted, depraved, incompetent, weak..." Frenzberg said some ugly words as he walked down the stairs. William knew that his teacher was describing this ancient empire, so he could only bow his head. Not a word.

...

"This tow-type high-level dual-purpose gun carriage should be deployed on the two wings of the infantry phalanx - they must ensure that the entire infantry phalanx is not threatened by dragons. This is the first task." In a drawing, Varg Long sketched a brand new battle phalanx.

Although Chris has a technological tree of civilization, he has countless generals' understanding and writings on war, and also has countless valuable data summaries: but he cannot change and develop this knowledge.

To put it bluntly, he is a "cheater" who carries and plagiarizes, and he can't do things like combine things out of nothing. For example, in his knowledge base, there must be no papers or detailed tactical arrangements such as "How the Ground Forces Defend Fire Dragons".

"In each infantry phalanx, that is, in addition to the 300 gunners in a battalion, there are 4 anti-aircraft guns? What about the extra soldiers? Are they counted in this battalion or in the regiment?" Will Cox raised his own question.

Hearing this, Chris also had to compromise and said, "Given the special nature of the air defense unit, I think it should be deployed in a battalion-level unit so that this unit can fight and defend independently."

"Expand each battalion. The original number is definitely not enough. Let's expand a battalion to 500 people... The artillery of the regiment should be strengthened."

"A battalion has 500 people, 300 grenadiers, and 40 machine gun shooters are preset, ready to be equipped with new machine guns as the infantry automatic fire support; more than 60 anti-aircraft gunners and apprentices are more than 400 people in total, and the rest Everyone can be used as a supplementary soldier in charge of the baggage." Vagron knew the current battalion level well and calculated.

"The regiment's artillery will also be expanded. 400 people are equipped with 20 artillery pieces, and almost 4 anti-aircraft guns are needed to cover them - this will need to be expanded by about 60 people. In addition to the original regiment personnel and logistics personnel, a regiment needs to be directly The level of 2,000 people is forced." Similarly, Bourgeois, who was already familiar with it, also said.

"Actually, I think in this case, it is better to set up a regiment into a five-battalion system and directly expand it to 2,500 people." Chris thinks that the large-scale troops of the later US military have better independent combat capabilities. , the combat power is also higher.

After all, he is determined to use ammunition dumping weapons to crush tactics in the future. In the face of opponents such as magicians and dragon knights, he does not dare to take risks with any tactics - so, of course, he feels that the tactical system of the US military is the most worthy of him. study.

The tactical establishment of 5 battalions can preset the establishment of the cargo battalion for these infantry regiments, and can also equip armored vehicles or even tanks later-in short, the more people, the more guaranteed the combat effectiveness of the regiment.

"In this way, there are more than 500 soldiers in each battalion, and our front line will be further opened... Can four anti-aircraft guns stabilize the defense line of the entire battalion?" Vagron asked his own question. road.

Chris nodded. He also felt that if the front line was opened, the defense area of ​​a battalion would be larger, and the four anti-aircraft guns would have to deal with air targets and possibly ground targets at the same time, and the pressure would be very high.

"Then add 4 anti-aircraft guns! I would rather expand a few battalions less, and we must ensure the actual combat capability of the troops! Just like the armies of those mortal empires in the past, no matter how many people there are, in front of the magic empire, it is actually nothing. Useless." Chris gave his general policy.

He also knew that when these words were said, the originally vigorous military expansion movement might suddenly slow down seriously.

Originally, Mordelair formed the 4th Regiment in Hanhai, and Corea had been ordered to form the 5th Regiment in Maine. The 3rd Regiment, which was originally scattered all over the country, has now been assembled and transferred to Wilkes. expanded. At the same time, the 6th regiment was ordered to be established in North County, under the command of Bourgeois.

Even Laurens, who had the title of naval commander, was ordered to form a Marine Corps 1 regiment, stationed in Ferry City.

Then, on the basis of these single-digit regiments, Chris established a higher division command, with the single-digit regiment commander acting as the division commander, and at the same time began to expand the double-digit infantry regiment.

The equipment of these double-digit infantry regiments were all eliminated by 1 regiment, and their combat effectiveness was not high. They were only formed as supplements and reserves: most of them were still in the state of cold weapons, numbered from 11 regiments to 16 regiments, plus the navy 12th Marine Corps Regiment.

It was also from this moment that the troop formation of Ailan Hill was fixed: future expansions will be named according to this method.

At the same time, Chris's political department "Military and Political Department" that controls the army is also expanded. This department can ensure that the troops are always firmly in the hands of Chris, and ensure the absolute unity of ideology of the troops of Ailan Hill.

Despite the frenzied army expansion, Alan Hill did not complete the grand expansion plan of 25 regiments: they now only have 14 regiments, and 8 are substandard "second-line garrison regiments."
