俄国在七年战争中使用过掷弹骑兵,但他们在掷弹时依然是下马投掷,这更像是投弹兵的龙骑兵版本(被萨克森军官称为龙骑兵之花)
Six further regiments of dragoons were trans- formed into mounted grenadiers, with rather more success. The Commission hoped for great things of them, for no other army had anything of the kind, and a Saxon officer testifies that the grenadiers were 'the flower of the dragoons', though almost as badly mounted as the rest.

On campaign, however, they were to consider the employment of their special attribute, the grenade, of which every man carried two in a pouch. It was thought likely that in East Prussia the main resistance would be offered by hussars and peasants in uniform, who might try to hold out in buildings or behind other cover. In such an event the grenadiers were to dismount and cast their grenades inside the strongpoint, where the explosions would work to devastating effect in the confined space. |
