The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor - Chapter 927: 926: Stormtroopers
Compared to the Third Army Group, which was stuck in a stalemate as soon as the war started, the Imperial Expeditionary Force led by Aslan was on a tear.
The Ottomans have not yet grasped the essence of trench warfare. The dug trenches are nondescript and easily broken by the expeditionary forces. In the absence of a great mentor-level powerhouse, they dare not dispatch mentor-level powerhouses. Army compressed space.
As long as there are a few Ottoman remnants of heavy weapons, even an army of one million will not help.
After the war started, Aslan blocked all trade routes of the Ottoman Kingdom, not even the sky, so that the Ottoman Kingdom could no longer obtain support from the Magic Capital and the Maxim Empire. In the successive wars, Rifle bullets have been worn out hugely, and now there are millions of troops, and more than 600,000 Ottoman warriors have returned to the sword and crossbow.
Aslan watched the good news from various ministries and couldn’t help laughing.
“A little bit, just a little bit.”
By winning the Ottoman Kingdom, Aslan can unite the northern part of the continent and become the fourth super empire in the Sino continent.
Duke Medea rolled his eyes at Aslan 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 the border of the Merox Empire remained silent, which was very strange.
The main city of Elending has been on alert for a long time, and it has also received news of the gathering of heavy troops from the Maxim Empire and the Eastern God Sect, but they have not attacked for a long time.
Finally, she turned her attention to the battle report of the Third Army.
“Arthur proposed this new tactic and achieved great results. In the January 12 attack on the Fregney Plateau, the Third Army broke through the two defense lines of the Free Magic Alliance in one breath. This was the beginning of trench warfare. It is very rare afterward, because to achieve such a victory, it may often take several days of hard work.” Medea exclaimed, although she did not care about things, she always paid attention to the situation in the world.
“This time the Third Army Group won the victory in just one day, which is indeed beyond everyone’s expectations.” Aslan replied with a smile.
“The 211 Brigade, as an experimental unit at this time, has quite a lot of resources. Arthur’s idea is very good, and I am 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 211 brigade lose its assault ability, and even plans to reduce the original magic mechanized troops, leaving only the battle group, and the heavy weapons are only machine guns and a mortar attack, but he proposed a new type of arms, equipped with flamethrower. Fire soldiers. Arthur’s tactical thinking is clear, discarding all unnecessary burdens, and attacking at the fastest speed.” Aslan continued.
“Flame thrower? What new equipment?” Duke Medea asked with great interest.
“A close-range fire attack weapon that sprays a column of incendiary liquid. Also known as a flamethrower. It is mainly used to attack the fire point, eliminate the active force in the fortification, kill and block the impacted infantry. The oil ejected by the flamethrower forms a violently burning fire column. , can splash everywhere, stick and burn along the trenches and tunnel bends, kill targets in hidden places, and have a mental shock effect.” Aslan snapped his fingers here, a light curtain appeared out of thin air, and a shadow was reflected on it. A soldier with a flamethrower and an oil tank on his back is shooting flames.
“Because the burning consumes a lot of oxygen and produces toxic fumes, it can suffocate the personnel in the fortification. When attacking strong fortifications such as tunnels and caves, 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 an evaluation.
“It’s a bit like a high-level magic flame splash, but the distance of the flame splash is not as exaggerated as a flamethrower.”
Aslan secretly made a note and sent a message to Arthur later to let him pay attention to prevent the capital of magic from playing this trick in advance.
Compared with the Maxim Empire and the Eastern God Cult, the magic capital is the strongest in the mainland in the development of magic weapons.
“You seem to be very optimistic about the unit that Arthur trained?” Duke Medea curiously flipped through the documents reviewed by Aslan, which gave many suggestions and key approvals.
“The training of this unit is very meaningful, because it means that the infantry tactics of the Empire have improved by leaps and bounds. The infantry’s group charge tactics are of little value, as those who have experienced trench warfare have well understood, A new way of fighting is desperately needed to accomplish this.”
“The 211 Brigade itself has also proved itself on the battlefield, showing 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 in order to form a new assault regiment. , must give this assault force a name?” Aslan said, holding his chin.
Duke Medea said directly: “Let’s call the Storm Commando!”
Aslan twitched the corners of his mouth, tasted Duke Medea’s proposal carefully, and said, “Okay, just listen to Medea.”
Duke Medea glanced at Aslan unexpectedly, not thinking of the joke he made at will, Aslan agreed without hesitation.
“Don’t think about it.” Duke Medea asked tentatively.
Aslan shook his head and took Duke Medea directly into his arms.
“As long as you like it.”
Duke Medea gave Aslan a white look and took the initiative to wrap his arms around Aslan’s neck.
“Then why are you still hesitating?” Duke Medea nuked the lounge behind the desk, implying that his heart was better than action.
Aslan’s mouth twitched, and he quickly found a reason to say: “Arthur’s tactics are not perfect, and the assault team that requires the cooperation of multiple arms will be able to effectively conquer fortresses, bunkers and firepower points, and allow the troops to break into the enemy’s deep area, As a result, it will cause confusion to the enemy in various positions. However, it is obviously not realistic to rely on such fortifications to defeat the Free Magic Alliance, and it requires further improvement in real technology and equipment.”
“And then?” Duke Medea asked indifferently.
“The Bayibar rifle allows the Storm Commandos to pour a lot of firepower on the enemy in a short period of time. With the 56-type light machine gun and flamethrowers, the Storm Commandos can clear any enemy in a short-range confrontation. It is recommended that the Storm Commandos use the artillery fire. Under the cover, they stepped on the barrage to launch an assault. After clearing the enemy in the trenches, they guarded the trenches occupied by them and waited for reinforcements to arrive, and then launched an assault in the depth direction until their combat objectives were achieved…”
Aslan began to give advice in the reply letter, and suggested that Arthur continue to miniaturize the size of the Storm Commando. The size of the brigade is still too large, and the size of the infantry regiment may be better.
