Many people have seen scenes of cavalry groups charging. Especially in the cold weapon era, cavalry was almost synonymous with invincibility. But after the invention of the tank in the 20th century, especially after tanks were concentrated and used on a large scale, tank clusters
Just like the cavalry in the cold weapon age, they became unstoppable.
After research, Su Tong found that there are actually two attack modes of armored forces. One is the rapid attack represented by Germany, which uses tanks as the guide and quickly rushes into the enemy's position under the cover of aircraft to disrupt the enemy's defense deployment.
, and then the infantry follows behind to occupy the position.
One is a steady attack represented by the United States. It uses tanks as a barrier to cover the infantry to eliminate enemy firepower one by one. If the enemy counterattacks with fierce artillery fire, air support or artillery support should be called immediately to destroy the enemy's artillery fire one by one and then steadily occupy the enemy.
Military position.
These two types of tactics have their own merits. The former can carry out large-scale maneuvers at the fastest speed and use a pincer offensive to outflank the enemy, causing the enemy to lose the courage and confidence to resist, thereby winning the war. The disadvantage is that the casualties may be too high.
The latter makes full use of the protective advantages of tanks, the cooperation of infantry and the support of powerful artillery fire to gradually eliminate the enemy or disintegrate the enemy's will to resist, and ultimately win. This style of play is slower, and when the casualties are relatively small,
.
The direct result of these two different fighting styles is that the German infantry divisions are pure infantry with no excess armor, while the American infantry divisions are full of iron bastards crawling all over the ground.
Therefore, in the 101st Division, choosing how to fight has become the first choice topic among the officers.
The exercise observation department was now crowded with almost all military officers of the 37th Route Army except those who participated in the exercise. Wang Dayong poked Hu Lian, the upstart in the army who had just been appointed as the guard brigade commander.
: "Brother Hu, look at what Lao Wang can say: "Let's make a summary now, and everyone will come to the headquarters for a meeting tomorrow."
An exercise that was thought to be vigorous ended, but it ended so quickly that an infantry division was defeated in the time it took to have a banquet. This shocked the officers who predicted that Sun Liren would be in a hard fight before the exercise.
Because such a battle formation pattern is something they have never heard of or seen before.
Under the mighty offensive of hundreds of tanks, anything standing in front of them will be torn to pieces. This has also made the military officers who have always thought that they are the best in the world in recent times wake up. The weapons of the world
Equipment and military changes are developing rapidly, and if you continue to hold on to the old set of concepts, you will surely fall into death.
The first person to recover was Chief of Staff Jiang Baili. After watching the exercise, he immediately realized what kind of impact this war model would have on the world. It would be a change that would be recorded in the history of human military development, and the world would also
Changed because of this thing called a tank.
Jiang Baili finally understood why Su Tong insisted on establishing such an armored division despite the opposition of himself and other officers. This was a unit with an experimental nature, and it would be a grindstone for other units of the 37th Army.
As long as the troops that have been baptized by these tank groups will have a qualitative development in terms of combat effectiveness. There will even be a second and third armored unit. At that time, the Thirty-seventh Army will have no one in China.
An opponent.
"Alas..." With a slight sigh, Jiang Baili looked at the officers in front of him and said: "After today's exercise, do you understand the meaning of modern warfare mentioned by the military commander? You always hold me in your arms.
The idea of being number one in the world will kill you. Since this year, the military has added machine guns, cannons and other weapons and equipment to you, but instead of doing research on new tactics, you only complain about new tactics.
The military position favors the armored division, and the training intensity of the troops has also been reduced, becoming more and more like a showpiece."
After a pause, Jiang Baili raised his voice an octave: "Look, look, a dignified infantry division with all its personnel couldn't hold on for an hour and was beaten to pieces. Some soldiers saw tanks.
He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. It’s embarrassing, it’s embarrassing.”
Wang Li's head almost dropped to his crotch in front of the old principal.
"Okay, I won't talk to you today. You go back and summarize the battle first. I hope to see some suggestions or ideas for construction during the meeting tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Baili left without looking back.
It seems that I can't get the reminder ticket for Fengchen 0 Ronin Children's Shoes, but A Ding is still shamelessly asking for other tickets. God, let the tickets come more fiercely.
