Holy Roman Empire

Trento, since the Battle of Venice, has become a target for the two sides. The Kingdom of Sardinia has invested in the strength of three divisions, and it still cannot shake the defense of the Austrian army.

A week later, Lieutenant Colonel Grieg has lost his anxiety. He has seen that the enemy on the opposite side lacks not only military training but also the courage to fight the battle.

In this era, everyone used a rifle gun. The firepower was not too fierce. Even a skilled soldier had a maximum of three rounds per minute. Most soldiers could only shoot at two rounds per minute.

Even if the Austrian army has a good fortification, Trento is not a stronghold, if the Sardinian army is willing to fill it with human life, the same

You can fill in the past.

Lieutenant Colonel Griggy had some regrets. He knew that the Sardinian army was so spicy. He listened to the advice of the kid from Ambridge and sent troops to steal the camp. Now he is the rising star of the Austrian army.

It is a pity that there is no regret medicine to take. The number of enemy troops has changed from the original one division to the current three divisions.

"Isn't Ambridge's famous kid not found yet? It seems that it is necessary to pay attention to it, maybe he can make a credit." Grije thought secretly.

It turns out that he still thinks too much.Ambridge is just a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers. There are a dozen such young officers in the Austrian army.

Grieg's depression did not last long. After the enemy's troop increase, Marshal Radkis also sent two regiments of reinforcements.

After the reinforcements arrived, his beating heart couldn't help it anymore.It has been a long time since the continent of Europe. It is not easy to get military power. If you miss this village, you will not have this shop.

Looking around Europe, is there anything better than the enemies in front of you?Grieg thinks that there is no more, although the troops of the three divisions on the opposite side are actually newly expanded troops.

For example, Major General Will, before the expansion of the army, he was only a battalion commander in the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia. At most, he can be regarded as a rising star. After the expansion, he suddenly became the head of a division.

A battalion has enough soldiers and equipment to become a division. How much combat power can such a unit have?

Of course, no matter how powerful it is, it is stronger than the fighting strength of the original battalion.The advantages of weapons and equipment in this era are not obvious. The main thing for fighting is to rely on people. The tactics of the sea of ​​people is the most effective tactics.

...

The two new regiments are also old acquaintances of Griegy. The area of ​​Venice is not large, the circle of the Austrian army is smaller, and these middle-level officers almost know each other.

"Griggie, you are so powerful. One regiment blocked the enemy's three divisions for a week. Presumably, as soon as the war was over, you were about to be promoted, and there would be a title!" Buck said enviously.

In the absence of a stronghold, a regiment blocks three divisions for a week, and it can become a classic case in military history. It is a great achievement in any country.

Griggy said flauntingly: "It's not that exaggerated. In fact, before yesterday, there were only two enemies of the division. I just blocked them for six days, and you came in less than a week."

No matter whether it is two divisions or three divisions, or whether it is six days or seven days, a regiment can block them for so long, without asking for reinforcements from the headquarters, a worthy name can't run away.

"Grigid, can you advise us, how can we block their attacks when the enemy is strong and weak?" Ham asked with concern.

Griggie didn't answer directly, but asked: "Buck, Ham, do you want to do a big job?"

"What are you doing?"

The two asked in unison.

Grieg said solemnly: "We join forces to get rid of the opposing army!"

The two looked at Griggie dumbfounded. The expression seemed to be saying: Trouble, Griggie is crazy!

Griegy continued: "Don't you exaggerate like that, okay?"

"The enemy is much weaker than you think. At the beginning of the Osa war, the Sardinian kingdom had only 23,000 troops, and it has now expanded to 200,000.

The three divisions opposite were expanded in this way.Before expanding the army, they had at most three regiments, and maybe even one regiment or two regiments were expanded.

From the outbreak of the war at the end of March to the present, less than two months after the war, the Kingdom of Sardinia has expanded its army by nearly ten times.

You have all trained troops. For more than a month, who can train an elite teacher?

Among them, there are nearly four layers of soldiers from Lombardy. What is the quality of the soldiers in the Lombardy area, do you know?

There are these people who are dragging their feet inside. How much do you think they are better than us?"

After listening to Griggie's explanation, a strange brilliance flashed in their eyes.As soldiers of the Austrian Empire, they are still proud.

As a member of the European powers, the Austrian army still ranks in the forefront of combat power in the world. They think that they are not weaker than humans, and they have a mental advantage over the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Ham thought for a while and said, "Griggie, what are you going to do? To know that you are Trento's Defense Commander now, we both have to follow your instructions."

Griggie glared at him fiercely. If he could really command the whole army, would he still use this opportunity to divide up?

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to make a contribution, then let's do it together. If your kid is afraid, it doesn't matter if I and Barker join forces and can bite off a piece of meat as well!" Grije said sneered

Just kidding, if you want to make a contribution and don't want to take responsibility, how is this possible?Griggie is not stupid. If he participates alone, he will share the pressure. How could he resist all risks alone?

...

In the early morning of May 20th, a match of 800 people in the Austrian military camp was secretly assembled.

Night raid?It is a very challenging job for the military of this era. The biggest problem is that many soldiers suffer from night blindness and cannot fight at night.

Grigid didn't know about night blindness, but he knew that many soldiers had poor eyesight at night.He was carefully selected by this team of 800 people.

"Ambridge, are you kid ready? If you're scared, it's too late to quit, no one will laugh at you." Griggie joked

"No, I will not withdraw. His Excellency Commander, I must become a great noble!" Ambridge replied seriously

Under the reward, there must be brave men. The soldiers, including Ambridge, mostly participated in this operation because of Grieg ’s promise.

The money for buying and selling ten hectares of land per person, regardless of victory or defeat, life or death.If it succeeds, then the five people with the most credit will be awarded the title, which was personally instructed by Marshal Radkis.
