The Rise of the Empire

"We have found at least 3 cavalry regiments now!" Pershing inserted the flag indicating the British cavalry on the map, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment responsible for rescuing Hank fought against the British, although the former had superiority in strength and firepower, However, the latter occupies an advantageous location, and soon after the battle, it was discovered that a large number of British troops were coming here, and then the Boers chose to withdraw, while the British pursued hotly, and more and more British troops gradually appeared in Boer. In people's field of vision, they have been biting the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. They didn't launch an attack, but they didn't give up either! \u003c/p\u003e"This is not in line with our plan. We are only aiming to eliminate the original British cavalry and destroy the railway hub, but the extra troops are no longer within the scope of consideration. In this area, the British The number of cavalry is more than twice that of ours, and they have the advantage of supplies and firepower. Those armored trains that suddenly appear on the railway line are very annoying! Our movement space will be further compressed. I think we must choose to retreat or continue to penetrate lightly. Throw away everything that is not suitable for maneuvering! Including artillery." Boer representative Will Jon said with some concern. \u003c/p\u003e"This is impossible. We have already paid a huge price for this operation, and our mobile artillery unit has already crossed the Orange River. It is too difficult to go back. It is unacceptable to give up halfway. The British People have an advantage in military strength, but they don't know our layout, nor our strength! At least for now, they think that we are still a traditional cavalry, and we have artillery, sufficient scouting force, and carry A large number of automatic weapons, this is our advantage!" Caliput said. \u003c/p\u003eCaliput is trying to improve this unit as much as possible. The so-called cavalry should now be called high-mobility infantry on horseback. They carry a large number of heavy weapons, and at the same time obtain more intelligence by adding scouting units, and then the main force arranges the most suitable marching route to reduce unnecessary loss, so as to make up for the slowdown of cavalry when carrying heavy equipment. come the question. \u003c/p\u003eThe artillery and logistics units are even separated from the main cavalry regiment. Their security is more solved by using the sentries deployed on the periphery. This artillery unit has not participated in a single battle since the start of the operation. All they have done is to keep rushing to send these artillery to the preset battlefield! Caliput increased the movement speed of the troops as much as possible by dispersing the march and reconfiguring the transportation capacity. Now it seems that the overall movement speed of the troops still exceeds his expectations. Even the slowest supply troops can march at a speed of one day. Also more than 50 kilometers! \u003c/p\u003eNow, the main force of the Boer Army is hidden near Kohlsberg. This town is located between Hannover and the Orange River. It is an important transportation hub and material storage warehouse, as well as a large number of road repair vehicles , if it can destroy this place and kill a large number of defenders, the Boer Legion can even blow up the bridge over the Orange River on their backs! \u003c/p\u003e "We can't give up. If we retreat this time, I'm afraid we will never have the opportunity to cut off the British transportation artery. Their cavalry will increase, and the black holes on the transportation line will become less and less. Then We will be crushed head-on," Caliput said. \u003c/p\u003eJust when the Boers were still arguing about whether to continue the operation, a piece of information completely ended the debate. "Leopard commandos ambushed a train on the railway to Kerrsberg. They used 40 kilograms of explosives to completely destroy the locomotive and at least 5 carriages, and found a 120mm rapid-fire gun used by the British Navy on the wreckage. And some Navy personnel."\u003c/p\u003e "Brothers,

We must act decisively now, let the 1st Cavalry lead the British west, and then buy time for the main force to break through Kersberg. "Pershing clearly sided with Caliput this time.\u003c/p\u003e"Well, the two of you have made up your mind. My vote doesn't matter anymore. "Wilchorn finally surrendered.\u003c/p\u003e Afterwards, when Pershing mentioned this decision, he explained it this way: "Except for the early days of the war, when the British rushed to allocate some of the naval heavy artillery to the army, other times They are all based on 12-pound guns. But now, they suddenly began to send 120mm heavy artillery to the front line. This can only explain two problems. The first problem is that the supply potential of the British has exceeded our expectations, and they can already support heavier firepower to the front line. Another point is that the British may be about to launch a general offensive. Naval guns are much stronger than land guns. We are very worried about the situation on the frontal battlefield. "\u003c/p\u003e But what is the actual situation? When Pershing and others got the truth later, they can be described as dumbfounded. According to the British script, the cavalry is mainly used to protect the communication line, and the 120mm artillery is too heavy. Ground maneuver The ability is almost zero. In this case, the British way is to put it on the train and maneuver it back and forth on the traffic line.\u003c/p\u003eAnd when General French discovered the Boer 1st Cavalry Regiment, he thought The Boers have almost concentrated all their mobile forces here. He estimated that the size of the opponent is about 2,500 to 3,000 people, but in fact, counting the targeted guerrillas, it is only 1,200 people. The illusion is that the Boers have too many horses.\u003c/p\u003e "This opponent is worthy of my concentration! "When he thought that he had bitten the main force of the Boers, General French was very excited. He immediately urged the logistics to bring over more horses and supplies, and then he would lead the main force to encircle and wipe out this army. He even ditched the heavy guns, which were obviously not good to throw in the open, so he decided to send them to Kelsberg. But unfortunately, several of the guns were destroyed by a roadside bomb, which was followed by Many things happened!\u003c/p\u003eFrench was attracted by a partial division and chased towards the vast African prairie, while Caliput took 2 complete cavalry regiments and 5 small detachments (equivalent to cavalry Company) and an artillery battalion with 12 75mm guns rushed towards Kelsberg. The total force in Caliput's hands was about 3,500 people, but when they launched an investigation, they found that the town was not good Fight!\u003c/p\u003eIt’s not about how many opponents there are, but that they have too much firepower, and there are also armored trains. The railway that surrounds the entire town greatly increases the mobility of these trains, and the difficulty of attacking difficulties is significantly increased!\u003c /p\u003eThe third update is ~~~~, please subscribe\u003c/a\u003e~~~!\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
