Chapter 504: rehearse

"Is this all our vespa-style assault guns?" On the training ground of the Iron Fort, the prince pointed to the nine chariots scattered in the distance.

"That's it. Except for one of the 9 vehicles that is a command vehicle to be equipped with a radio, the remaining 8 vehicles are of three different models, two of which are the original original model, and the other 5 are improved Yes, three of them have increased frontal armor, and two of the Vespa assault guns C-type are replaced with new engines. Of course, the weight industry has gradually increased to 19 tons." Maybach said.

"This number is a bit small, so let's pull up the breakthrough tank 1. It's the tank equipped with a 50mm gun turret." The prince said with dissatisfaction looking at the battle convoy in the distance.

"That all Prince Leopold said that the Type 1 tank is not easy to use, so the development plan has been delayed. Besides, didn’t you mean to replace the 50mm gun with a 40mm rapid-fire gun? So the few Type 1 tanks The tank is being improved in the workshop..." Mabach said embarrassingly.

"Then bring all the available assault tanks here." The prince wiped his cold sweat and said.

"Do you want to be equipped with machine guns or 37mm artillery? We now have 10 assault tanks in total." Maybach asked. The assault tank is basically the ft-17 tank with improved suspension in German. The only difference is that one weapon is a machine gun and the other is a 37mm gun. However, considering the future battles on the Eastern Front, this kind of tank called cricket may use a 12.7mm machine gun as its main weapon.

"Change to machine guns." The prince thought for a while and said. After all, in the future, the 37mm gun will be eliminated in the Bavarian army.

"In this case, we have 18 tanks of various kinds. Well, the armor is enough. In addition, tell the site management personnel that no water will be released on the swamp ground these days. Also, your technicians must work hard and have one. If the tank breaks down, I will deduct your salary for one month. If everything is fine, double the year-end bonus this year!" The prince ordered.

The insect combination of wasps and crickets is only part of this feast. In fact, what the prince wants to show Little Mochi is a combination of armored troops and mechanized infantry. As for the air force? Sorry, among all Bavarian aircraft that can fly heavier than air, the maximum take-off weight has not exceeded 700kg. This thing basically has no war value.

"That Schmidt, bring us 20 sdk tractors that we are going to transport to Russia, and use them to transport infantry. For infantry units, choose the Royal Guards First Regiment. Then bring our new 3.5-ton truck. , Used to tow our 105mm howitzer." The prince thought for a while and ordered.

"So do we still need cavalry?" Schmidt asked after looking at the organization of the participating troops. Armored troops are responsible for tearing the line of defense, mechanized infantry will follow along, and towed artillery will be used to oppose the formation. This combination is enough. , The cavalry’s only rapid assault function has been replaced by the mechanized infantry, becoming a dispensable role.

"Bring it, after all, our exercises can't be too exaggerated. In fact, these vehicles are for export to the Russians. The infantry transport vehicles that can be used in the wilderness are still on the order form." The prince was a little depressed. Said. In fact, in the eyes of Prince’s simple values, any crawler-type armored personnel carrier is a waste. Although Prince was a British and American fan in his previous life, he has to admit that when the industry and resources are not overwhelmed, special armored conveyors are used. The car is actually a bit wasteful...

Look at the large number of armored transport vehicles in Germany's World War II, then look at the production of German tanks, and then look at the production of tanks in the Soviet Union, which was half-wounded at the beginning. You will understand everything. The Soviets hardly have many personnel transport vehicles dedicated to transporting infantry. They use all their resources on tanks. To put it in a more popular way, good steel is used on the blade. Without a dedicated personnel transportation vehicle, you can do it with a normal truck. It is really impossible to ride a tank directly. It is indeed a good convenience for a country with a relatively large population base like Russia, and now it is also very suitable for Bavaria, which cannot even form a tank. After all, relative to the scarcity of tanks, Bavaria has a relatively large population...

In fact, the so-called infantry transport vehicles are also capable of cracking. Just like the Russians, if it's time to go to the battlefield, add armor temporarily, anyway, just block the machine gun bullets. With artillery, tanks may not be able to carry it, so don’t have to transport vehicles for personnel... So even if the Bavarian Army is equipped with a large number of half-track vehicles, its role is mostly responsible for artillery transportation and directly as an artillery chassis... Personnel transfer is only part-time.

"The scale of the exercise is tentatively set to be a regiment, and a battalion force is used to simulate a regiment-level offensive warfare. We combine armor, artillery, infantry, and engineers into an independent combat unit. They have the ability to cut the opponent's position and continue to strike deeper. , In order to test whether the troops armed with the new preparation are capable of becoming a sharp sword." Schmidt set out the objectives of the exercise after a brief summary.

"One more thing ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that is the counter assault capability. Our large army is still dominated by infantry. Their movement speed is very slow. Because our army has a lot of artillery and heavy equipment, so , Our moving speed may even be lower than the Russians who have more horses. For this reason, our troops must have the ability to independently resist the attack of superior opponents!” The prince thought for a while and said.

It is often not difficult to penetrate a nail, even with simple infantry. However, it is difficult to defend and consolidate the line of defense after entering. Under normal circumstances, the Germans use bt-intensive artillery to block their opponents. Reinforcements of the United States, thus isolating and breaking through the position, but for the Eastern Front, this approach is a bit difficult. On the one hand, the density of the Eastern Front is too small, and on the other hand, it is also more difficult to supply the Eastern Front. Therefore, this assault force must not only need to cut through the opponent's line of defense, but also to have a large number of hammers and grinding discs to kill the opponent!

"So, I suggest that the offensive be divided into two groups. The first group is responsible for breaking through the opponent's position. They carry a large amount of equipment and ammunition. Once they break through, they will immediately consolidate their positions and wait for the arrival of the infantry troops, while the second group is breaking through the opponent. After the position, he was thrown into the battlefield, directly chasing the remnants, and expanding the results. When the second group stopped, the supplemented first group was attacking. In this way, a continuous advancement and supply-offensive mode was formed." Schmidt After thinking about it.
