Trento, since the Battle of Venice, here has become a target for both sides to fight. The Kingdom of Sardinia has invested three divisions, still unable to shake the Austrian army's defense line.
A week has passed, and Colonel Griggi has lost his original puppet. He has seen that the enemy on the opposite side not only lacks military training, but also lacks the courage to fight to death.
In this era, people still use breech guns. The firepower is not too fierce. Even skilled soldiers can only make three rounds per minute. Most soldiers can only achieve a firing speed of two rounds per minute.
Even if the Austrian army has a good fortification, Trento is not a strong fortress. If the Sardinian army is willing to fill it with human life,
Can fill in.
Lieutenant Colonel Griggi had some regrets. He knew that the Sardinian army was so spicy. He listened to the advice of the kid from Ambridge and sent soldiers to steal the camp. Maybe he is the rising star of the Austrian army now.
Unfortunately, there is no regretful medicine to take, and the number of enemy troops has changed from one division to three divisions now.
"Did Ambrick's famous talent have not been discovered yet? It seems necessary to pay attention to it, maybe he can make a contribution." Griggie thought to himself.
It turned out that he still thought too much. Ambridge is just a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. There are still dozens of such young officers in the Austrian army.
Greggie's depression did not last long. After the enemy increased its troops, Marshal Radkis also sent two regiments of reinforcements.
After the reinforcements arrived, his beating heart could no longer bear. The European continent has been flat for a long time. It is not easy to obtain military merits. If you miss this village, there is no such shop.
Looking around Europe, is there any better bullying than this group of enemies? Griggi thought it was gone. Although the troops of the three divisions on the opposite side were actually newly expanded troops.
For example, Major General Will, before the expansion, he was only a battalion commander in the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia. At best, he can be regarded as a rising star. After the expansion, he suddenly became a division leader.
One battalion has enough soldiers and weapons to become a division. What kind of combat power can such a unit have?
Of course, no matter how combatless, it is stronger than the original battalion. The advantages of weapons and equipment in this era are still not obvious. The most important thing is to rely on people. The sea tactics are the most effective tactics.
...
The two new regiments are also Griggi's old acquaintances. The area of Venice is not large, and the Austrian army has a smaller circle. These middle-level officers almost know each other.
"Griggie, you are so good. One regiment has blocked the enemy's three divisions for a week. Presumably as soon as the war is over, you will be promoted and there will be a title!" Buck said enviously.
Without a stronghold, a regiment can block three divisions for a week, and it can become a classic case in military history. It is a great achievement in any country.
Griggie flaunted, "Not so exaggerated. Actually, before yesterday, there were only two divisions' enemies. I just blocked them for six days, and you came in less than a week."
Regardless of whether it is two divisions or three divisions, or whether it is six or seven days, a regiment can stop them for so long, without asking the headquarters for reinforcements, a good name can't run.
"Griggie, can you please tell us how to block their attack when the enemy is strong and weak?" Ham asked with concern.
Griggie did not answer directly, but asked: "Buck, Ham, do you want to do a big one?"
"What are you doing?"
They asked in unison.
Griggie said solemnly: "We join forces to kill the enemy!"
The two stared at Griggie with a stunned expression, and the expression seemed to be saying: Trouble, Griggie went crazy!
Griggie continued, "Don't you be so exaggerated, okay?"
"The enemy is much weaker than you think. At the beginning of the Osa War, the Kingdom of Sardinia had only 23,000 troops and it has now expanded to 200,000.
The three divisions on the opposite side are so expanded. Before the army was expanded, they had only a maximum of three regiments, and even one regiment or two regiments could have been expanded.
From the outbreak of the war in late March to the present, less than two months after the war, the Kingdom of Sardinia has expanded its army by almost ten times.
You have all trained troops. For more than a month, who can train an elite division?
Among them, there are nearly four layers of soldiers from Lombardy. What is the quality of the soldiers in Lombardy, you know?
With these people in the back, how much do you think they are better than us? "
After listening to Griggie's explanation, the two eyes flashed a strange light. As soldiers of the Austrian Empire, they were proud.
As a member of the European powers, the Austrian Army's combat effectiveness is still among the highest in the world. They consider themselves not weaker than others, and they have a psychological advantage over the Sardinian kingdom.
Ham thought for a moment and said, "Griggie, what are you going to do? Know that you are now Trento's garrison commander, and we both have to obey your commands."
Griggi glanced at him fiercely. If he could command the entire army, would he still use this opportunity to divide it up?
"Just talk nonsense, if you want to make a contribution, then we will work together. If your kid is afraid, it doesn't matter if I join forces with Buck, I can still bite a piece of meat!" Griggi sneered
Joking, how can it be that you want to be successful without taking responsibility? Griggi is not stupid. One more person participates, and the other one shares pressure. How can he resist all risks alone?
...
In the early morning of May 20th, an eighty-man team at the Austrian military camp assembled secretly.
Night strike? For the army of this era, it is a very challenging job. The biggest problem is that many soldiers suffer from night blindness and cannot fight at night.
Griggie didn't know about night blindness, but he knew that many soldiers could not see at night. This 800-person death squad was carefully selected by him.
"Ambridge, are your kids ready? If you're scared, it's too late to quit now, and no one will laugh at you." Griggie joked
"No, I will not quit. His Excellency Commander, I must become a great aristocrat!" Ambridge replied earnestly.
Under the reward, there must be brave men. Most of these soldiers, including Ambridge, participated in this operation because of Grigid's promise.
Money for buying and selling ten hectares of land for each person, regardless of victory or loss. If it succeeds, the five people with the most credit will be awarded the title, which Marshal Radkis personally instructed.
