Chapter 927: Chapter 927: Storm Commando
Compared with the Third Army, which had been stuck in a stalemate since the start of the war, the Imperial Expeditionary Force led by Aslan was in full swing.
The Ottomans have not yet grasped the essence of trench warfare. The trenches dug out are neither fish nor fowl, and they were easily broken through by the expeditionary force. Without the great mentor-level powerhouses, they did not dare to dispatch mentor-level powerhouses, so they could only be constantly attacked by the expeditionary forces. Compression space.
As long as there are only a few Ottoman remnants of heavy weapons, even a million troops will not help.
After the war began, Aslan blocked all the trade channels of the Ottoman Kingdom, even the sky, so that the Ottoman Kingdom could no longer get support from the Magic Capital and the Maxim Empire. During successive wars, Rifle ammunition wasted a lot, and now there are millions of troops and more than 600,000 Ottoman warriors have returned to their swords, swords, bows and crossbows.
Aslan looked at the good news sent back from various ministries, and couldn't help laughing.
"Just a little bit, just a little bit."
After winning the Ottoman Kingdom, Aslan can unify the northern part of the mainland and become the fourth super empire of Sino Continent.
The Duke of Medea gave Aslan a blank look, and looked at the battle report sent back in his hand. The capital of magic began to invade the border of the Ottoman Kingdom, but it did not move on the border of the Merox Empire, which is very strange.
The main city of Alundin has been on guard for a long time, and has also received news of the massing of the Maxim Empire and the East God religion, but it has not attacked for a long time.
Finally, she turned her attention to the third army's battle report.
"Arthur proposed this new tactic and achieved great results. In the attack on the Fragney Plateau on January 12, the Third Army broke through the two lines of defense of the Free Magic Alliance Army in one go. This was the beginning of the trench warfare. It is very rare, because it may take several days of hard work to achieve such a victory." Medea exclaimed, although she didn't care about things, she always paid attention to the world situation.
"This time the Third Army won the victory after only one day's effort, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations." Aslan replied with a smile.
"At this time, the 211th Brigade is an experimental unit with a lot of resources. Arthur's idea is very good. I am also willing to expand this unit into a division-level unit. But Arthur refused. He thought that such a bloated establishment would only It will make the 211th brigade lose its assault ability, and even plans to reduce the original mechanized troops, except for the combat regiment, the heavy weapons are only machine guns and a mortar, but he proposed a new unit, the flamethrower Fire soldiers. Arthur has a clear tactical thinking, discards all unnecessary burdens, and launches an assault as quickly as possible." Aslan continued.
"Flame thrower? What new equipment?" Duke Medea asked with great interest.
"A close-range fire attack weapon that sprays a burning liquid column. It is also called a flamethrower. It is mainly used to attack the firepower point, eliminate the living force in the fortification, kill and block the impacting group infantry. The oil sprayed by the flamethrower forms a violently burning fire column , can splash around, adhere to and burn along the turns of trenches and tunnels, kill targets in hidden places, and have a mental shock effect.” Aslan said this and snapped his fingers, a light curtain appeared out of thin air, and a light curtain was reflected on it. A soldier with a flamethrower and an oil tank on his back is spraying flames.
"Because burning consumes a lot of oxygen and produces toxic smoke, it can suffocate people in the fortifications. When attacking tunnels, caves and other solid fortifications, the flamethrower has a unique effect that other direct-fire weapons do not have."
After listening to Aslan's introduction, Duke Medea fell into deep thought and finally gave a comment.
"It's a bit like advanced magic flame splashing, except that the distance of flame splashing is not as exaggerated as a flamethrower."
Aslan secretly made a note to send a message to Arthur later, telling him to pay attention to prevent the city of magic from playing this trick in advance.
Compared with the Maxim Empire and Eastern God, the development of magic weapons, the magic capital is the strongest in the mainland.
"You seem to be very optimistic about the army trained by Arthur?" Duke Medea curiously flipped through the documents reviewed by Aslan, which gave many suggestions and key replies.
"The training of this unit is very meaningful, because it means that the infantry tactics of the empire have been improved by leaps and bounds. The infantry's group charge tactics themselves are worthless, and people who have experienced trench warfare have deeply understood this point. A new way of fighting is desperately needed to accomplish all of this."
"The 211 Brigade itself has indeed proved itself on the battlefield and demonstrated its combat effectiveness on the battlefield. This success will definitely inspire the whole army, so the 211 Brigade was ordered to train more officers and soldiers so as to form a new assault regiment , must a name be given to this assault force?" Aslan said while holding his chin.
Duke Medea said bluntly: "Let's call the Stormtroopers!"
The corner of Aslan's mouth twitched, and after carefully savoring Duke Medea's proposal, he said, "Okay, just listen to Medea."
Duke Medea glanced at Aslan unexpectedly, not expecting that he was making a random joke, but Aslan agreed without hesitation.
"Don't think about it again." Duke Medea asked tentatively.
Aslan shook his head, and directly hugged Duke Medea into his arms.
"As long as you like it."
The Duke of Medea turned Aslan's face pale, and took the initiative to embrace Aslan's neck.
"Then what are you still hesitating about?" Duke Medea made a nod to the lounge behind the desk, implying that his heart is not as good as action.
The corner of Aslan's mouth twitched, and he quickly found a reason to say: "Arthur's tactics are not perfect yet, an assault team that requires the cooperation of multiple arms will be able to effectively capture fortresses, bunkers, and firepower points, and allow troops to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory. Thus causing confusion to the enemy at various positions. However, it is obviously not realistic to rely on such fortifications to defeat the Free Magic Alliance Army, and it requires further improvement in technology and equipment."
"And then?" Duke Medea asked calmly.
"The Bayi-bar rifle can allow the storm commando to pour a lot of firepower on the enemy in a short period of time. With the 56-type light machine gun and flamethrower, the storm commando can eliminate any enemy in a short-distance confrontation. It is recommended that the storm commando be in the artillery fire Under the cover of the enemy, stepping on the barrage to launch an assault, after clearing out the enemies in the trenches, guard the trenches occupied by them and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then re-launch the assault in the depth direction until their combat objectives are achieved..."
Aslan began to give suggestions in the reply letter, and at the same time suggested that Arthur continue to reduce the size of the Storm Commando. It is still too big to operate on the scale of a brigade, and it may be better to operate on the scale of an infantry regiment.
