"charge……"

Amid the shouts of killing, the offensive and defensive battle of Torino began. As a key node in the Southern Battle, France and Austria both invested twelve minutes.

The ownership of Turin not only determines the ownership of the Kingdom of Sardinia, but also affects the ownership of the Italian region.

The leaders are all ready, and it depends on the outcome of the Battle of Turin. If the Austrian army successfully takes Turin, then we will work together to drive away the French. Otherwise, we must think twice before we can do it.

In order to show sincerity, these guys have instigated several armed uprisings in Italy, restraining at least 200,000 French troops.

In order to facilitate command, Morks, the southern commander, has moved the command to the front line.

It is not possible to not pay attention to it. Street fighting may be the French army's most chance to turn the tables, and the French will definitely not give up this opportunity.

Armored troops in the wild can compete in the battlefield, but it will be different when you come to the city. Just putting a little obstacle can block the road ahead.

The armored troops that had thrown their anchors would be the meat on the chopping board. As long as the French were willing to fight for their lives, a pack of explosives would be done.

As a product of cross-age times, Austrian armored forces are just one word - expensive, and for this reason it is nicknamed "land cruiser" by the Austrian military.

This is not a brag. The production cost of a state-of-the-art tank is almost the same as that of a cheapest cruiser.

The cheapest armored vehicles cost tens of thousands of ASIS, and the most advanced tank costs more than 200,000 ASIS.

With Austria's family background, there are only four tank divisions and eight armored divisions, which is enough to illustrate the whole problem.

In fact, even these twelve divisions were dissatisfied with the formation. Because there was no need for air defense for the time being, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment was omitted, and the motorcycle mechanized infantry regiment was even more invisible.

The number of tanks is also seriously insufficient. Each division has a tank between 150 and 260 vehicles; the armored division is better, and each division has an armored vehicle between 220 and 300 vehicles.

This is just theoretically. In fact, there will be fewer tanks and armored vehicles that can be used by each division, after all, there will be damage on the battlefield.

But the failure rate of tanks these days is high. Many times, after a battle, all three-point armored tanks fell down, and the rest must be inspected.

This is also the reason why the French were able to gather their troops and re-establish defense lines. It is not that the Austrian army does not want to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. The key is that the armored troops, as the trump card, do not have the ability to carry out blitzkrieg.

The current situation of Austrian armored forces is: a nominal division can often only have one regiment to pull out the troops, and the rest are undergoing equipment maintenance.

The French were confused by the torrent of steel, which did not mean that their combat effectiveness would be gone. In fact, the combat effectiveness and fighting will shown by the French army were still the top of this era.

Of course, the French were able to revive their momentum, which was also directly related to the orders of the Vienna government. To minimize the French on the battlefield, we must naturally give them hope.

If the main force of the French army was defeated in an instant, at most hundreds of thousands of French troops would be killed, and then there would be nothing.

If he lost his hope of victory, even if Napoleon IV did not want to surrender, someone would make a decision for him.

Active surrender and stubborn resistance are completely different concepts. The former is to get nothing and solve the problem at the negotiating table; the latter has created established facts and only wait for a contract to clarify the legal principles.

There are too many countries that don’t want the French to be ruined. If Austria wants to achieve its strategic goals, it must enter the French mainland before the French surrender.

...

Austria is obviously qualified to be valued by the French. After the outbreak of the European War, French commander Adrien immediately ordered the reinforcement of the city defense.

As a key place with multiple attributes such as strategy, transportation, politics, and economy, Turin is naturally the focus of care. Fortresses rise up and cooperate with the buildings in the city, it has become a war monster.

Faced with the roaring artillery fire, Captain Adler was taking his third company to charge. No, it should be said that he was crawling forward.

The bullet flew over Adler's head. An unlucky guy raised his head too high and happened to be hit by the bullet that was flying in. He had only time to scream and went to see God.

It is normal to die on the battlefield. Since the war has been going on, three-quarters of the soldiers in the third company have been replaced, and Adler, the company commander, is the fifth.

Of course, it is not that all the four guys in front of him received lunch boxes. Except for one unlucky guy who met God, the other three lived well, one of them was promoted, and two were recuperating in the hospital.

There is such a world of ice and fire on the battlefield. Grassroots officers die quickly and are promoted quickly. As long as they survive a few battles, promotion will be a natural thing.

There is no need to worry about the boss stopping them, because they either went up, went to the hospital, or went to see God. In short, the location was empty.

Here, it is no longer a myth to go from a soldier to a general. As long as the war lasts longer, nothing is possible.

Captain Adler was not a military academy student and had no background. Less than a year after the war broke out, he became the company commander.

In addition to his flexible mind and strong military literacy, luck is more important. If it weren't for the villain who had both parents, a harmonious family, and lacked a slap in the face, he would be a little like a son of luck.

Although there are many reserve officers in Austria, at most they are equipped to the company and platoon level. Against the background of a large-scale expansion, Adler, as a veteran, directly serves as the squad leader.

This is nothing. The first time I participated in the battle, Adler's company suffered heavy losses. The direct leader and deputy platoon leader either met God or entered the hospital.

Before the battle ended, Adler was already the acting platoon leader. It had nothing to do with promotion, because the platoon in which he was in had all left the battlefield, and according to the rules of the Austrian army, it was his turn to command.

He successfully completed the task and made military achievements, and it was natural for the agent to become a real teacher. He made several more military achievements, and Adler became the company commander in a daze.

Without being rebellious and not making amazing achievements, Adler, an ordinary young officer, had almost lost his luck here.

There is no way, not only does the demand for higher-level officers not only greatly reduce, but also no longer need to lead troops to charge, and the probability of being killed or injured is greatly reduced.

If there are fewer pits, the requirements will be higher. In peaceful times, fewer people will make military achievements, so naturally they can get promoted if they have military achievements. If they lack abilities, they can be cultivated slowly.

Now it’s not possible, there are many people who have made great achievements. Unless they can be promoted in an extraordinary way, professional knowledge assessment is indispensable.

After all, the more troops you command, the higher the requirements for officers' abilities. Except for a few geniuses, most people have to be trained to be competent.

A comprehensive counterattack has begun. As the war is about to end, there will be a major disarmament after the war, and the training class for grassroots officers will naturally no longer exist.

You can’t just organize the officer training and have not completed the coursework, just send them a discharge notice!

After all, they are not the real protagonist, and there are still a lot of similar templates in the Austrian army.

No matter how low the probability of occurrence is, once the number is enlarged, it will no longer be a minority. It can be said that everyone who survives without any damage in the rain of bullets is a legend.

Looking back, Captain Adler cursed angrily: "Bull your head down and don't learn from that idiot Cole!"

Sad? Maybe there is, but after experiencing it, your nerves will become numb. Perhaps it is to avoid being sad and upset at this time, Captain Adler deliberately kept a distance from everyone around him.

Before Adler could finish his words, the French bullets gushed out again. Although Gatlin was not as useful as Maxim, it was still a powerful tool to install it in the fortress fortress.

With Cole's past, and the whistling of bullets kept ringing in everyone's ears, everyone buried their heads as low as possible.

Suddenly, with a loud "boom", the two soldiers on Adler's right were blown up to pieces, and half of his head fell directly to the place in front of Adler.

He shook his head and finally woke up from the sound of bombing. He saw the bloody and bloody head of his comrades in front of him, and Adler almost vomited it out.

Resisting the disgust, Adler immediately ordered: "The enemy ahead buried landmines. We did not bring mine demining tools, so we should withdraw them first."

There is no doubt that this tentative attack failed. Not to mention that there is no mine-deletion tool, even if the tools are prepared sufficiently, they cannot withstand the enemy's firepower!

This was the beginning of the Austrian army itself, and the French were just following the example. Although the Maxim machine gun was not too late to imitate, Gatlin could also use it to make up the numbers.

The enemy is prepared so well, and it would be very unwise to fill in the lives of others. The Austrian military does not advocate such a cruel and rigid blood courage, and blindly pursues victory and ignores the lives of soldiers. That is to go to the military court.

Morks did not feel lost when the tentative attack failed. Sacrifice was not meaningless. Through daytime temptation, the Austrian army had figured out the French's external firepower deployment, laying the foundation for the subsequent attack.

In the coalition command, General Molkes asked: "How is the formation of the Italian Legion?"

How could the war to liberate Italy lack the participation of Italians? At this time, the value of Italian independent organizations was reflected. Every time the Austrian army occupied an area, it recruited soldiers under the banner of independent organizations.

In order to fully respect the feelings of the Italian people, these troops are divided by region. For example: the National Independence Army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the National Independence Army of the Luka, the Modena National Independence Army of the Palma National Independence Army, the Tuscan National Independence Army of the Pope, the National Independence Army of the Two Sicily...

No matter how big it is, every Italian country has a national independence army that takes into account everyone's face.

As for whether the Italian Independent Organization is willing to accept it, it doesn't matter. Of course, it's good for you and I, everyone. If you don't accept it, Morks doesn't mind appointing the commander directly.

Anyway, there are a lot of Italian nobles who come over and can always find a willingness to cooperate with. A loose Italian independent organization is only known among the people and does not have much appeal among the nobles.

In order to restore the country, even the boss Vittorio Emmanuele III chose to compromise, let alone the pawn below.

A burly middle-aged officer replied: "As of now, the National Independence Army of the Kingdom of Sardinia has 200,000, and the Pope's Independence Army of the Kingdom of 80,000. The other Independence Army of the People's Republic of China are still empty, with less than 10,000 people in total.

If we want to form it, we have to wait until we occupy these areas. Judging from the current situation, we probably can’t count on it.”

Since the war has been held, the main achievements of the Austrian army on the southern front have been in the territory of the Pope and the Kingdom of Sardinia. The national independence army formed is naturally the main people of these two countries.

In order to reflect the equal status of the Italian states, the troops of each country naturally cannot be mixed. The polarization of the number of people has emerged.

The empty scouts will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield. No matter how much cannon fodder is needed, Morks will not be able to consume all the seeds of his "allies".

Moreover, these seeds are the core of future state governments. In order to balance the strength of the Italian states, Austria is too late to support them, so how can it be abandoned?

After pondering for a while, Morks shook his head: "There are still a few people in 280,000 people. Just taking down the city of Turin, I'm afraid that tens of thousands will be filled in. There are still a series of cities waiting for us to conquer.

Continue to increase the efforts of conscription in the local area. In addition to promoting national independence, you can also promise soldiers land, tax exemptions, pensions, and specific numbers. As long as there is temptation, it is enough."

In order to recruit more Italian cannon fodder, Morkes has given up the bottom line and made a promise for these state governments.

As for whether it can be fulfilled, it depends on the integrity and governing ability of these state governments. Anyway, this is a fight for the independence of Italy and it is impossible for Austria to pay for it.
