Chapter 1070 Blitzkrieg

The "Tiger" tank weighs 48 tons, is 8.45 meters long, 3.4 meters wide (3.56 meters wide when using combat tracks), and 2.66 meters high. Using a Maybach gasoline engine with 1,200 horsepower, the maximum speed is 50 kilometers per hour. The weapon is an 88mm 56-caliber tank gun and two 7.92mm machine guns. In terms of armor, the frontal armor of the turret is 120 mm at a 30-degree bevel, and the frontal armor of the armor is 100 mm at a 35-degree bevel. The side and rear armor is 85 mm at a 60 degree bevel. In addition, the thickness of the gun mantlet is 150 mm.

The 'Tiger' tank is much stronger than the 'Black Panther' tank in terms of firepower and armor. Except that the speed is a little slower because of the heavier weight, the other performances are very strong. Compared with the "Tiger" tank in another time and space, the armor performance of the "Tiger" tank is also better. In addition, the armor adopts oblique armor in an all-round way. Under the same armor thickness, the bulletproof ability is ahead of the vertical armor.

Qin Tian stood in front of a 'Tiger' tank that had just left the factory and hadn't been painted yet with a smile on his face. The pitch-black tank, shining with icy metal light, looks so mighty that people can't help but be in awe of it.

Thanks to his efforts, the German military production and research and development capabilities in this time and space are far ahead of the other time and space. This enabled the German army to begin to equip these advanced weapons in 1936. Once the war breaks out, the German army will definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise with these advanced weapons. This will give Germany a great advantage in the war.

"Your Majesty, the performance of the 'Tiger' tank is much more advanced than that of the 'Black Panther' tank. However, the cost is also much more expensive. At present, we will produce a small amount and equip sharp-edged troops. I agree. When the time comes, we will These 'Tiger' tanks can be used to defeat the most powerful enemies and directly destroy their will to fight. Other enemies can be dealt with by the 'Black Panther' tanks!" said Admiral Guderian.

"Even if it is the 'Black Panther' tank, the current enemy has no way to deal with it. Compared with the armored forces of the Empire, they are really far behind!" Admiral Rommel looked proud. He is proud that the empire can have the most advanced tanks and the most powerful armored troops in the world.

Qin Tian smiled, and said to his two beloved generals: "War is the best catalyst. After the outbreak of war, the technology of all countries, especially military technology, will develop rapidly. At that time, our opponents will also change. The 'Panther' tank will no doubt be in the limelight in the early days of the war and beat the crap out of those enemies. However, when their more advanced tanks enter service, the 'Panther' tank will look very It is difficult. Therefore, we need more powerful tanks. The 'Tiger' tank is only our first mass-produced heavy tank. There will be more advanced tanks in service later."

Admiral Guderian, Admiral Rommel and others nodded repeatedly. In terms of weapons and equipment, Germany has always been at the forefront of the world. In this aspect, these generals are impeccable.

"Generals, I am responsible for providing you with the most advanced and powerful weapons in the world. And you are responsible for using your ingenuity to win the war for me and the empire! I have done everything I can, I hope that you can also do everything you should do!" Qin Tian said with a smile. All of his efforts have only one goal, and that is to win the war. If you fail, all your efforts will be in vain.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We guarantee that we will be able to win!" Admiral Guderian said with determination.

Admiral Rommel also nodded solemnly, and he also firmly believed that future victories would definitely belong to them.

The next day, Qin Tian went to the General Staff Headquarters to attend a seminar on new tactics. Attending this meeting were not only generals of the army, but also generals of the air force. Because, the tactic to be discussed this time is exactly the blitzkrieg proposed by Qin Tian.

"Everyone, the empire now has the most powerful armored force in the world, the most powerful army and air force. Advanced weapons and equipment have brought about tremendous changes. At the same time, our tactics have also undergone tremendous changes. Twenty years later, the tactics used in the last world war are obviously impractical and outdated. Therefore, I hope that our army will not only be at the forefront of the world in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in In terms of tactics, we can also be at the forefront of the world. In this way, we will have greater confidence in defeating those powerful enemies and winning the war in the future war!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the generals replied.

"The focus of today's discussion is how to apply the armored force and the air force. I call this tactic blitzkrieg. That is, at the beginning of the war, the air force is deployed on a large scale to bomb the enemy's front-line airports and wipe out all the enemy's fighter planes. At the airport, so as to completely ensure the air supremacy of many front lines. After that, the army launched an attack. As the forward force of the army, the armored force used its powerful assault capability to tear apart the enemy's defense line, and then continuously penetrated the enemy's in-depth defense Encirclement divides the enemy's active forces to form encirclement circles one after another. The infantry closely follows the armored units. After the armored units complete the encirclement, they take over from the armored units and eliminate the enemies in the encircled area. The armored units can continue to launch assaults In this way, we can not only destroy the enemy's frontal defense, but also make it impossible for the enemy to organize a strong defense. Before the enemy's defense force was organized, it was bombed by the Imperial Air Force, and the armored forces Assault. In this way, we will defeat the enemy again and again. In this way, it will undoubtedly be easier for us to win the ability on the battlefield!" Qin Tian said.

The air force seizes air supremacy, and the armored forces quickly assault and divide and encircle. This is undoubtedly the essence of blitzkrieg. Although Qin Tian doesn't know much about specific tactics, he can put forward what he knows, and then let those professionals perfect and deduce it, and finally form a tactic that can really be applied to actual combat.

According to the idea proposed by Qin Tian, ​​the generals began to brainstorm. At the same time, start deduction on the sand table. With the help of a large number of combat staff, the tactics of the blitzkrieg will soon take shape. It only needs to be tested on the battlefield after the outbreak of war.
