Chapter 1922 War Doctrine

Malashenko estimated that Major General Charleson might call out a lot of people with his greeting. The two British and American officer corps combined would probably be a dozen or so people smaller. (audience)

But what Malashenko never expected was that his grandson called nearly 30 people on the phone, and his room, which was indeed quite large, was packed to the brim, making it very crowded. Comrade Ma was surrounded by a crowd of people sitting on a chair and watching. He felt like a monkey being watched in a zoo.

"How come there are so many people here? Didn't the British and Americans say that they only came to two officer corps? They can gather together three armored divisions with regiment-level and above commanders, so many Why don’t you wear me out in class?”

Although I was complaining in my heart, I couldn't express it openly.

Malashenko, who wanted to quickly adapt to this matter and then deal with it, did not hesitate much. After thinking for a moment, he quickly spoke to an acquaintance sitting next to him: Major General Charlieson, whom he had already met once. .

"Let's go to the Q\u0026A session. If you are interested or want to know anything, you can ask directly. Don't be too formal. As long as I can answer it, I will patiently explain it."

Malashenko's tone was undoubtedly polite. Seeing Malashenko say this, Major General Charlieson secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps this Malashenko was more serious than he expected. It's easier to deal with.

"Then let me ask the first question, General.

Major General Charlieson did his part to ask questions first. As the first person to eat crabs, Malashenko also shifted the focus of his eyes to him. He raised his ears and waited attentively for this person who seemed to be a little bit nervous. The next words of the capable British Army Major General.

"We have gone to the front line on the battlefield to observe the actual combat performances of your troops, that is, the leadership divisions. I found that your fighting method is very special. You do not directly penetrate the enemy's positions at high speed to separate and encircle them. This is completely different from yours. Most tank units are different."

"It is a step-by-step, steady attack tactic, squeezing the living space of those Germans bit by bit and pushing them into a corner. Using absolutely superior technical weapons to create ferocious firepower makes the enemy unable to counterattack and resist, and ultimately wins the battle. It seems to be an armored tactic that favors our allies, is that right?”

The British and Americans observed his previous German battle, and Malashenko knew this very well.

The tactics he uses are indeed somewhat different from those of the ordinary Red Army tank troops. This is based on his unique command method and understanding of tactics and tactics, and is not based on the friendly tactics experience of passing one to ten or ten to a hundred. Putting it aside, the first question raised by Major General Charleson was not too difficult to answer.

"You are partly right, but only a small part. The tactics I adopt are still very different from those of your allies. If not, the current battle situation on the Eastern Front and the Western Front will not be completely different. Both cases, am I right?"

"Uh this"

Malashenko asked again to answer the question. This time, Major General Charlieson was confused. He looked really embarrassed and was speechless for a while.

Strictly speaking, Major General Charleson was not the only one. Almost all the British and American officers in the room looked uncomfortable. Some were slightly angry, as if they were humiliated, while others closed their eyes and shook their heads helplessly, as if recalling some unbearable past event. In short, none of them were normal.

Such a large group of guys who started out as majors all had abnormal expressions and different demeanor. Seeing this scene, Malashenko could basically understand how irritating these guys were by what he just said.

Of course, this also reflects from the side how miserable the group of people in front of them were dealt with by the Germans on the battlefield. Otherwise, even if Malashenko beat him to death, he would not believe that these John Bulls and cowboys who were born with noses in the sky could With this bird-like appearance, it is estimated that some of the dissatisfied people have come out to argue with me, and only after seeing the true performance of the leader division on the battlefield can they be so calm.

There is no way, the gap is just a gap, and it is still a ridiculously big gap.

The Germans who beat you like dogs on the ground on the Western Front will only die if you are pressed to the ground and rubbed by me. You can't accept it even if you don't accept it. This is the best expression of strength and the gap.

However, Malashenko did not mean to humiliate these people. He just mentioned it casually. The real purpose was to teach these British and Americans a good lesson.

Not to mention passing on all the real skills to them, at least let them understand how to better fight against the German sticks. Otherwise, if they really give themselves a negative score and a bad review, what if it affects the cross-bordering of the big shots at the top? It's not a good idea to barter, and I don't want to get involved in this.

If these British guys and Americans can be sent away safely and satisfactorily, that will naturally be the best situation in which everyone is happy.

After thinking for a moment and organizing his words, Malashenko continued to speak after figuring out what to say.

"The choice of tactics must be decided based on the actual situation. It does not mean that one tactic can always deal with thousands of situations. If there is such a universal tactic, the war will become so easy to fight and like a child's life. "Jiajia, is this war, or our enemy, a little too simple? Is it still the level it is today?"

"Based on the battlefield situation our division faced at that time, the Germans had been operating the defense of the salient for quite some time, and they had predicted in advance that we would launch a battle to eradicate and intercept the salient. Therefore, at the root of the salient In the direction where the battle is likely to break out, the defense line is very strong, has sufficient anti-armor weapons, and has a very complete echelon defense configuration.”

"If under such circumstances, a large number of armored forces are invested at once to launch a rapid intersecting and cutting battle with the accelerator pressed to the end, no matter what the final result will be, it will inevitably suffer huge casualties."

"The large armored units that penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland will quickly lose touch with the rear troops as they continue to advance. It will be difficult for some supporting arms with relatively low mobility to keep up with this speed of maneuver, and the comprehensive offensive power will inevitably be greatly weakened. "

"The trade-off is the German echelon defense configuration, which becomes stronger the deeper you break through. Once a situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak is formed, it is difficult to quickly reverse the situation in a short period of time. Armored troops that penetrate deep into the ground formation It will become isolated and without support, and the offensive energy will be greatly consumed through the continuous advancement, and there will be very little left. This is precisely the best moment for the Germans to launch a counterattack. "

"With the huge casualties and the tragic attack failure, if the Germans can invest enough decisive counterattack force, they can not only drive me and my troops out of the position, but even take advantage of the situation to take away our offensive starting position. In this way The situation is by no means empty talk, I believe some of you may have experienced this on the Western Front battlefield. "

"Don't rush for instant success, and move forward step by step in a steady and steady manner. Every step forward is airtight, so that the Germans cannot catch our weaknesses. As long as they dare to launch a counterattack, they will die faster, because we There is no weakness to be found in our tactics and offense.”

"We will eat up the Germans' carefully laid out echeloned defense positions section by section like sausages, with the minimum risk of failure and the minimum cost of casualties."

"And with the strong and complete systematic cooperation of multiple arms, the progress of this offensive is not slow. Compared with the traditional armored force breaking through at a single point and then quickly interspersing, and the follow-up troops follow up to expand the results, the attack The difference in speed is negligible, and you have seen this in actual combat.”

Malashenko, who had said so much, quietly stopped speaking. He raised his right hand slightly and made a slight clenching gesture, and clasped his five fingers together, as if an invisible hand shrouded the battlefield and grabbed a group of people to death. German stick is average.

"I will know this tactic and know the best way to crack it. This is because the Germans themselves are copying us. The battle of Kursk made these Germans terribly painful and completely lost their memory. They learned The Red Army adopted the large-depth echelon defense of frontal decisive battles, but did not learn the essence of it, let alone how to use the optimal counterattack tactics. "
