From this perspective, even if the Russians block the wilderness with complete division-level units, their artillery density will not exceed the firepower of an assault division and an armored battalion. Not to mention, the firepower of the 45 armored battalions alone is enough to penetrate the defense line of the Russian military division. As for what to do if they encounter some fortresses? This can only be handed over to the subsequent troops. Even during the Second World War, the German armored troops will not be responsible for fighting against the fortresses and fighting to the basement area, right? This is all handed over to the infantry and heavy artillery.

"How to solve the problem of cavalry supply, especially horse feed?" Ruprecht asked. Horses are so edible, especially war horses. If they are not eaten well, they will lose weight and are more difficult to serve than humans.

"At least in Poland, if we attack fast enough, we can use war to support the war. If the Russians' transportation system is not good, they will definitely build a large number of warehouses in the border areas. The Russians have a large number of cavalry, and it should be no problem to find enough feed. Moreover, our transportation is enough to support the consumption of cavalry for a period of time." Prince Leopold replied.

"But the scale of cavalry is still relatively small overall. Think about it, our cavalry army is only 12,500 people. Even if we add the troops promised by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the cavalry we can gather at most is about 25,000 people, accounting for 10% of the entire army. It is probably difficult to use this amount of troops to develop in depth." While paying attention to quality, the prince also emphasized the number of fast groups. Too few people will not do it after all, you are not the US to attack Iraq.

"Then you can only learn from Prussia and equip some armored vehicles to replace tracked vehicles, thereby reducing costs, increasing the number, and then getting some car-mounted infantry. At the same time, the role of this unit is further specialized. They are only attacking and interspersed, not responsible for defense and expanding the breakthrough. After they cut open the opponent's position, they quickly replaced the infantry unit entering behind them." The prince said.

"I have a rough idea about the establishment, and then you are responsible for practicing it." The prince thought for a while and said. "No problem, we have time." The prince said.

"A fast force composed of cavalry and armored troops is quite challenging to do. It seems that if I remember correctly, it is probably only the Soviets who have done synthesis like this, right?" That night, in an office in the Iron Fort, Ruprecht began planning.

Without ready-made experience, the prince could only try to recall the synthesis method of cavalry and mechanized troops at the beginning of the establishment of the Red Empire. At the beginning of the civil war, the cavalry of the Red and White sides did not have much reference significance, because the only major improvement of the cavalry at that time was that there were more machine guns equipped, and then a machine gun carriage was added. The number of artillery was very small, so when they faced the newly born Polish infantry troops, they were beaten to the head and bleeding.

To put it bluntly, the cavalry of the Red Army was at a disadvantage even when it was dealing with the Russian infantry in the early stages of World War I. Not to mention anything else, a Russian division could at least be granted 48 artillery pieces. These artillery was enough to suppress the cavalry's carriage machine guns and artillery. Without the support of machine guns, the combat effectiveness of the Red Army's cavalry would be greatly reduced.

The synthesis of troops with real reference value is the method of synthesis from the cavalry brigade in the early 1930s after the establishment of the Soviet Union. At that time, a cavalry brigade had 3,135 people, 2,933 horses, 6 artillery pieces, 153 machine guns, 32 various tanks and combat vehicles, 29 military vehicles and 5 motorcycles. The attack speed of such a unit is available, basically without a car, and the speed of the BT series tanks is also powerful enough. If you don’t fight for a day, you won’t have a big problem. (In the 2nd battle, there was a record of 65 kilometers of cavalry troops being interspersed behind enemy lines in one day.) The firepower was sufficient, and the only problem was that the organization was too small. The prince’s requirement for this interspersed force was to defeat at least one standard Russian division’s blockade.

Another reference standard is the Soviet Union's cavalry division organization in 1941. The organization of this cavalry division can be described as luxury in the current Bavarian Kingdom. A cavalry division has 4 cavalry regiments, 1 tank regiment, 1 artillery regiment and 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

Such a division has 9,240 people, 7,625 war horses, 64 BT tanks, 18 armored vehicles, 84 various artillery pieces (including 8 122mm howitzers, 24 76mm cannons, 16 45mm anti-tank guns, 8 76mm anti-tank guns, 12 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and 16 82mm mortars). There are also 64 heavy machine guns and 18 anti-aircraft machine guns. How to say, in this organization, the firepower density is less than 10,000 people, 84 artillery and 64 chariots. This is what the Bavarian Kingdom is definitely not able to make up, and even more than 7,600 horses per division are difficult.

You should know that in the current Bavarian standard division, there is a chariot battalion with 45 chariots, or a mixed combination of Hufeng-type assault guns and cricket-type assault tanks. In theory, these 45 units can only be guaranteed that each division's 30 chariots will have to attack with 15,000 people.

Considering the limitations of this era and the characteristics of the opponent's opponents, the prince believed that the new troops could be organized in this way, with an armored battalion (45 crickets and Hufeng-style chariots, all personnel around 1,500 people.) plus three cavalry regiments (each regiment is about 1,200 people.) a towing or self-propelled artillery battalion (with 12 105mm artillery and 6 150mm howitzers) and then a single infantry regiment, each of which is about 3,500 people. If the logistics unit is included, the total number of people in an assault cluster is about 14,000.

"A infantry regiment, even if one squad takes one car, one regiment will cost more than 200 cars. This has not yet been considered for the delivery of artillery and ammunition." The prince calculated in his mind. You should know that the cars of this era are not as NB as in later generations. A 1.5-ton truck is the norm. This is also the model that can be produced in Bavaria with the highest cost-effectiveness and stability.

What is certain is that such a division is already perfect. At least there is no problem in fighting a regular blitz against the Russians on the Eastern Front. Moreover, the movement speed is fast enough. The only problem is whether such a unit can be built! After all, the degree of mechanization of this force is somewhat beyond the ability of this era. Therefore, the result of this integration can only be the goal. As for the specific situation, it depends on the situation.

Such a division cannot be solved by building one. Referring to the scale of Battle 1, such as a assault division must be established at least about 4 to ensure a destructive blow to the two Russian armies that are opposite. After all, there are 450,000 to 500,000 Russian troops on the opposite side. If they really fight, they must cut as many as possible to make it easier to eat. At least three breakthrough directions are needed. According to the difficulty, if 1 to 2 divisions are assigned to each breakthrough direction, 4 to 5.
