"Okay, I'll stop here for today. If you still have any questions, you can ask them now and we can discuss them together." Zhou Zhen clapped his hands, threw away the chalk in his hands and faced the many students and students in the classroom.
The officers said with a smile.
At this time, a colonel officer stood up, with a sincere expression on his original stern face and said: "Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, I am Erwin Rommel, captain of the base camp guard. Your explanation just now was very exciting, but,
There are some things that I still don’t quite understand. The theory you mentioned of tanks attacking and then infantry following the tanks to occupy the position sounds very good, but I still don’t quite understand it. The infantry’s marching speed obviously follows the same speed as the tanks.
If you can't match the speed of a tank, how can you ensure that the infantry can follow the tank to occupy and consolidate the position?"
At this time, Erwin Rommel did not have the demeanor of the famous Desert Fox in later generations. He now looks more like a soldier with a strong thirst for knowledge. Now he is only receiving praise for writing that article on the infantry attack.
A mid-level officer favored by the head of state originally came here out of curiosity after hearing the news yesterday that a Chinese officer was coming to give lectures at the Army University. He was completely fascinated by the course given by this Chinese officer.
So as soon as Zhou Zhen stopped teaching, he stood up and asked his question.
Zhou Zhen nodded: "Your question is well raised. This question involves the issue of how infantry and tanks can synchronize and cooperate with each other. The biggest problem before us at the beginning was the problem of transportation. As we all know, light alone
The infantry's legs cannot keep up with the speed of the tanks, and trucks are too fragile. Therefore, our technical and scientific research department has developed a new type of fully enclosed armored personnel carrier with certain bulletproof capabilities.
It can quickly follow tanks in combat and has certain armor protection capabilities. In order to let my dear colleagues in your country understand more intuitively what I just said, we have specially filmed a documentary, and now please watch it."
After speaking, Zhou Zhen gestured to Cheng Kai and Fan Bingbing below, and the two immediately took several large boxes from the hands of several German soldiers behind them and started playing with them. At this time, there were several German soldiers in the classroom.
White cloth was hung on the wall, the curtains on the windows were drawn, and soon a small projector was set up.
As the classroom door closed and the curtains fell, the classroom became dark, and then the screen began to light up amid a burst of exciting music. A Siberian Tiger tank appeared on the screen. This tank has a semicircular turret.
, and the huge muzzle, I saw it running very fast on the screen. No matter whether it was muddy wetland, snow, Gobi Desert or even obstacles, it could not stop its progress.
"Oh, God, is this a Chinese tank?" Guderian on the side exclaimed. The unparalleled speed of the Siberian Tiger shocked the founder and implementer of the blitzkrieg theory.
When the tank gun opened fire, the power of the 100mm smoothbore gun shocked everyone in the classroom. In the huge explosion, the strong fortresses were destroyed one by one. This made Guderian still prepare for the upcoming equipment of the troops.
The good mood about the 75-caliber tank gun on the Panzer IV was shattered. It turned out that the tank I was proud of had already become obsolete before it even drove out of the factory gate.
In the movie demonstration, the Siberian Tiger tank's unparalleled maneuverability and firepower had shocked the German officers in the classroom. In the protection experiment, the Siberian Tiger stopped motionless on the ground, regardless of the two 75
caliber artillery bombarded his front armor, but after the smoke cleared, the tank was unharmed. This result not only shocked the students in the classroom, but also shocked Guderian and Rommel.
After demonstrating the performance of the Siberian Tiger, the screen began to change and turned into a raging battlefield. Hundreds of Siberian Tiger tanks launched an attack on the Soviet Russian army's position on the vast battlefield, and artillery shells continued to fire.
The tanks fell down, and the tanks were attacking quickly on the smoke-filled battlefield. They quickly rushed to the Soviet position. When they rushed to the Soviet position, the students in the classroom found that the Soviet soldiers had already
Collapsed, they fled backward one after another.
At this time, a group of strange armored vehicles rushed up behind the Siberian Tiger tank group. It did not have a turret or barrel, but only had a heavy machine gun mounted on the body. They followed closely behind the tanks and charged, with the body
Flames poured out from all around, wiping out the enemy infantry that had slipped through the net one by one.
The Siberian Tiger tanks did not stop after they invaded the Soviet position. They moved away and continued the attack. At this time, the armored vehicles quickly drove to about 30 meters away from the position and then stopped. The back door of the armored vehicle quickly opened, and each one was fully armed.
The soldiers got out of it, and the careful Guderian and Rommel discovered that the number of soldiers coming out of each armored vehicle was no more than twelve, which was exactly the base number of a squad.
After these infantrymen got out of the armored vehicles, they quickly invaded the Soviet position. At this time, the armored vehicles stayed at the front of the position and used the large-caliber machine guns on the vehicles to support the infantry's attack. In less than half an hour, what seemed to be
The indestructible Soviet army was captured.
The film ended after more than forty minutes. When the screen went dark, the large classroom was still silent. At this time, the students and officers in the classroom were still immersed in the exciting scene and the battlefield filled with artillery fire.
After a while, the lights in the classroom came on, everyone in the classroom stood up, and a burst of thunderous applause broke out. Guderian walked to Zhou Zhen with a smile on his face, and saw him solemnly paying tribute to Zhou Zhen.
A standard military salute.
"Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, please allow me to congratulate you as a veteran. Your country has a first-class armored force in the world. You are the pride of your country's armed forces." Soldiers always respect the strong. The image from the movie just now
The pictures and pictures are enough to prove the power of the armed force to which Zhou Zhen and the others belong.
Although Guderian, as the director of the German Armored Forces, had already seen the report written by Colonel Hans, he was still doubtful in his heart. Now that he has seen the real documentary on the movie, he has completely believed Hans
As the colonel said, the armored army owned by Chahar has already left Germany behind us both in theory and in terms of actual combat experience.
Seeing Guderian's solemn military salute to him, Zhou Zhen and his party felt a surge of emotion in their hearts while returning the salute. Once upon a time, the Chinese army was synonymous with incompetence, cowardice, and low combat effectiveness in the world. But now, in the world,
The generals of a recognized first-class army and military power have personally acknowledged their status. How can this not make them feel proud and proud?
At this time, Rommel on the side also walked up and said to Zhou Zhen: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, now I finally understand what you mean by infantry cooperating with tanks to attack and occupy simultaneously. This Northwest Tiger you invented
Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are amazing inventions that perfectly combine your theory and practice. Congratulations, colleagues from China."
"Thank you, General Guderian and Colonel Rommel. I think your colleagues in your country will soon have tanks like ours." Seeing these German colleagues being impressed by the war weapons produced by Chahar,
Zhou Zhen also took the opportunity to reveal a little secret.
In fact, the purpose of Zhou Zhen's trip, in addition to transporting Siberian Tiger tanks and 100 tank diesel engines, was also to promote the Type 63 armored transport vehicle. To promote this armored transport vehicle, he must first impress the German armored forces.
The effect is much better if it is promoted by the senior officials than by Zhou Zhen and others.
"Oh, is it true?" Rommel and Guderian exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Although they already belonged to the middle and senior levels of the German [] team at this time, the news that the German government had purchased all the manufacturing blueprints for the Siberian Tiger tanks was still highly confidential and they did not know it. Now Zhou Zhen inadvertently revealed this news to them
, which really surprised them.
At this time, Colonel Hans appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile: "It's true, Mr. Guderian. There are several tanks parked on the school's training ground now. If you are interested,
You can go and have a look."
Hans's voice was not loud, but his words were like a thunder that struck the classroom, stunned everyone in the classroom. Everyone was stunned for a while, and suddenly there was a crash, and everyone rushed to the school.
Running to the training ground behind him, Zhou Zhen looked at Guderian's agile movements speechlessly, unable to believe that this was something a forty-nine-year-old man could possess.
When everyone arrived at the training ground, there were already two Siberian Tiger tanks and two Type 63 armored vehicles standing on the training ground. The two tanks and armored vehicles had been painted with the Iron Cross mark in accordance with the requirements of the Germans.
More than a hundred colleges and officers surrounded the tanks and armored vehicles. After all, what they just saw on the screen was not as shocking as the real thing. Looking at the tank's huge muzzle and thick armor, Guderian sighed.
He said to Zhou Zhen: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, with such sharp weapons, no wonder you were able to defeat those Slavs and flee."
Zhou Zhen couldn't help but smile when he heard this and didn't say anything. Since ancient times, there is no first and no second martial arts. Although the old man acknowledged the combat effectiveness of Chahar's army, he still said in his words that Chahar occupied the tank surname.
It's cheap.
Zhou Zhen smiled and said: "Dear General Guderian and Colonel Rommel, I wonder if we can have the honor to demonstrate the capabilities of this tank to you and the gentlemen here."
"my pleasure."
"sure"
Guderian and Rommel also looked at the level of their colleagues from the other side of the distant ocean and said with a smile.
