1033 Heavenly Demon Disintegration Dafa 2
Kuropatkin did not have any psychological pressure to dig out the naval corners. In this era, the armies of various countries had an eternal enemy called the Navy. Now, whether it was the Baltic Sea or the Black Sea, the navy of the Allied Powers did not show the attack. If the Allied Powers were going to move, the Russians could not defeat it, whether it was the Baltic High Sea Fleet or the Spe Fleet in the Black Sea. In other words, whether the Russian Navy could survive was not up to itself, but whether the other party wanted to fight.
The Russians realized their tragic situation early on, so they emphasized submarine warfare and mine warfare. They hoped to resist the attack of the German fleet in the narrow Baltic Sea. The main ships were still a deterrent force. The resources of those old naval warships should be recycled by the army. As for the Black Sea, the Russians have already placed their hopes on their allies. If Britain and France can open up the Dadanil Strait, everything will be done. If they can't get through, be honest.
Moreover, compared with the Baltic War Zone, the Russians do not value the Black Sea. After all, in the eyes of the Russians, what if the Allied fleets obtained the Black Sea power? They still want to land in Ukraine? As for the quality of the Turkish army, they still want to make big news when they are unable to take care of themselves?! What are they thinking?!
So in Kuropatkin's plan, the general decided to first attack the Black Sea Fleet and transport some "shore cannons that cannot be used" ideas. In fact, unlike ordinary people's thinking, theshore cannons are not necessarily heavy cannons of a large caliber. There must be 12-inch naval cannons or even above level artillery, but most of them are small cannons. Especially for countries like Russia. Taking the Gulf of Riga as an example in history, there are only 8 12-inch shore cannons, while the largest number is 6-inch shore cannons, with a total of 32.
Of course, these artillery are extremely precious resources for the army. For the Russian army, a division is less than 4 6-inch long-barrel cannons. The 12-inch shore cannons and 10-inch shore cannons in the navy cannons can greatly make up for the lack of the army's super heavy artillery, while the 6-inch cannons can make up for the lack of military first-class firepower, while the 130MM shore cannons or 120MM naval cannons can be used as division-level firepower enhancement. According to Kuropatkin's prediction, after plundering the naval cannons and inventory of old-style warships, and at the same time, if the confidant transfers the naval artillery factory to the army, the Russian army on the front line cannons more than 3 inches more! The more than 20 12-inch cannons and 10-inch cannons that can be freed up have improved the Russian Army's combat strike capabilities by a higher level!
"Well, in principle, I agree to draw some artillery that does not belong to the Sevastopol Fortress, as well as artillery and personnel from the old-fashioned warships of the Baltic Fleet, but the defense in the Gulf of Finland is best not to move." Nicholas II thought for a while and said. What? Why do you ask the Russian naval personnel not object? It's very simple. This is an army meeting, the navy did not participate, and after the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian navy had a very low presence.
"The key is that we must kill the Austro-Hungarian Empire as soon as possible, and before the Bavarian Legion reacts, we will take Galicia and control the Carpathian Mountains. As long as we can control several important mountain passes, no matter how strong the Bavarian Legion is, it will not be able to expand! So, do you have any ideas now?" the Russian Emperor asked.
"Strengthen the construction of the rapid army! Even if the air force cannot provide assistance to the ground, it must at least be able to stop the opponent's bombers!" said Alexeyev, commander-in-chief of the Russian Southwest Front. If you want to quickly defeat the Austro-Hungarian Army, it mainly depends on the performance of the Southwest Front. Now, the Russian front-line troops have been adjusted. The Northwest Front has increased from the original 2 to 5, mainly used to defend the Bavarian Army. There are 3 Southwest Fronts, mainly used to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Army. There are more than one army in the direction of Warsaw, mainly used as a reserve team. However, Alexeyev knew that this reserve team had nothing to do with him. If it was truly reliable, it was only three armies under his command!
"We plan to choose Lviv as a breakthrough. Although this is a solid support point built by the Austro-Hungarian Legion, we still have to open the gap here because it is the farthest from the Bavarian Legion. The problem of head-on breakthrough is not big. The real problem is that we must be able to block the reinforcements from the Bavarian side! If the opponent sets aside the formation, we will definitely not be able to beat, so there is only one way."
"While the main force attacking the Lviv Fortress, the rapid troops penetrate the opponent's defense line and then detour behind the defense line, cut off their traffic lines and destroy the railway hub! It will prevent the opponent from gathering quickly!"
Alexeyev is indeed worthy of being taught by the prince. He finally understood some things from the repeated beatings. For example, the Bavarian Legion cannot fight to the death. For example, the importance of transportation lines to the re-installed Bavarian Legion of the entire army is too high. The cost of relying on road maneuvers in this era is still too high. Heavy equipment still depends on railways. If the railway line near the breakthrough can be destroyed or controlled, it is of great significance to delay the offensive of the Bavarian Legion. To a certain extent, it is similar to the prince directly landing in the Gulf of Riga and then creating a large encirclement of more than 100,000 square kilometers, but the gap in combat effectiveness is too great. Therefore, the Russians can only play a small-scale division encirclement.
If this mission goal can be completed, then it will be easier to deal with later. A large number of heavy artillery and railway guns were fired backwards, and then the three armies directly joined together. Everyone was afraid of seeing this. Although the Bavarian Legion is strong, it lacked such a killer weapon as a railway gun. Moreover, it is far from the home court of the Bavarian Legion, and the combat radius of the air force is not enough. If one plus and one subtraction, the Russians think they can still defend this breakthrough. As for the more casualties than the opponent, it is certain, but it doesn't matter, there are many Russians!
