The roaring artillery sounded, and the French army, who had just arrived at the front, was given a lesson by the anti-French alliance with artillery.
A shell dropped from the sky and fell less than 100 meters away from the French front command line. A wave of scattered shrapnel took away three officers who came to the meeting.
This also includes Major General Anduin Wrynn, the commander of the French 9th Division, which is also the highest-ranking officer in the French army since the outbreak of war.
Receiving this bad news, he successfully snatched Admiral Udino, the former commander of the enemy, with a gloomy face.
”Colonel Rick, send someone to re-investigate the enemy's artillery deployment. You must figure out the enemy's artillery shells. Why can you hit it here?”
Udino is also a general on the battlefield, and the choice of the command is also thoughtful. It is impossible to put the command under the enemy's muzzle and die.
Whether it was an accident or other reasons, they are now moving again. Otherwise, as soon as the enemy's shells fell, the French command system was scrapped.
Colonel Rick replied affirmatively: ”General, there is no need to re-investigate. I have personally checked the results of the previous investigation, and the enemy cannot make large-scale adjustments in a short time.
Judging from the power of sound and shells, this is not an army field gun.
It is not far away from the Rhine, it should be the enemy who regards the navy as a mobile fort. ”
The water flow of the Rhine is not small, and small warships are already navigable. The navy of Belgium and the Federal Republic of Germany happens to be pocket editions.
The navy was powerless against the French navy and could only hide and tremble in the harbor. Now that war is needed, it is logical to transfer a part of it into the Rhine.
Even if a large warship cannot enter, you can remove the artillery as a fortress. At the juncture of life and death, no one cares whether it is wasted to smash pots and sell iron.
The range and power of naval artillery are not comparable to those of army field guns. Airship high-altitude reconnaissance, there is no way to distinguish so carefully, the range estimation error is also normal.
Admiral Udino cursed: ”Damn, give power to the rear and let them bring the heavy artillery over!
Don't stand one by one, pack up immediately, move the command post one kilometer back, and don't pull back three kilometers. ”
There was no way, the French army advanced too fast, and the heavy artillery unit could not keep up with the speed, and was left behind.
With just a few field guns carried by the forward forces, the firepower of the anti-French coalition forces is not at the same level.
In a panic, Admiral Udino withdrew the command post three kilometers, determined to be free from the threat of enemy artillery, and then continued the unfinished military meeting just now.
Anyway, the battle is still to be fought. Even if the enemy's naval guns were neglected before, the French still had to attack.
Now it's time to grab time. According to intelligence from the spies, on average, an Austrian infantry division arrives on the front line every day.
At this rate, it will not take long for the military strength comparison between the two sides to be reversed.
In the evening, the French headquarters was brightly lit, and Admiral Udino sorrowfully said: ”Major General Anduin Wrynn sacrificed heroically. Now I appoint Colonel Fuxi to take over his work and temporarily act as the ninth division. The post of teacher.
Then continue to the military meeting in the afternoon. Now that the situation on the battlefield has changed, we must consider the enemy's firepower superiority. The original combat plan is out of date. ”
Change the combat plan?
This is a joke, except for General Udino himself, no one knows what the so-called combat plan is.
In fact, Admiral Udino himself may not have a combat plan. The battlefield is ever-changing, and it is irresponsible to make an operational plan without knowing anything.
Generally speaking, everyone's combat plans are formulated while playing. The plan made in advance is a strategic plan, not a tactical plan.
Unfortunately, the French army's command system is not as advanced. The so-called strategic plan is usually made by the commander in the head.
”General, there is no need to be so troublesome. The artillery has no way to suppress the enemy's firepower. We can also dispatch airship troops.
As long as the enemy's artillery position is exposed, I will go bombing in the past to see who has spent it. ”
The proposal is a middle-aged officer, a firm supporter of the French airship, which is the result of the Franz butterfly effect.
Since the Austrian airship galloped through the Ottoman Empire, air supremacy has been released in advance, but this idea is not perfect.
At present, everyone respects: use airship bombing to destroy enemy positions and fortresses to create advantages for ground troops to attack.
Udino nodded: ”Good suggestion, when the ammunition dedicated to the airship force arrives, send them to the enemy to look at the color.”
War is the biggest catalyst for the advancement of military science and technology. The airship has been used in the military for more than a decade. The European continent has experienced several wars.
