Chapter 676: Battle One
"Go ahead. After this war, I promise that the Prussian Army will have better tanks." Looking at the ugly subordinates next to him, Mackensen said calmly. In fact, from the beginning of the exercise to the present, Ma Kenson was already depressed. Let alone the natural disasters that started, just two days after the start of the fight, his improvised fast corps lost one-tenth of its vehicles due to malfunctions or other reasons. It either fell into a pit or broke down. . Ordinary wheeled vehicles are not so sad. Temporary modification of vehicles is the culprit, but the battle must continue. Although the situation is getting worse, Mackensen is fully prepared!
"Come! Ready to fight!" Looking at the two red flares that rose at the same time in the distance. Buckman quickly retracted into his cricket assault tank. One after another, grotesquely-shaped chariots appeared to Buckman, "This is the real battle! The collision between steel and steel!"
The Bavarian Army sent two rows of battle formations. The first row was cricket tanks, and the second row was Hufeng assault guns. The Prussian tanks were lightly armored units in Bavaria's view. The thickest armored front was also However, 15MM can't stop the 2-pound armor-piercing bullet at all. The firing speed of the machine gun and the large firing range of the turret are obviously better than Hu Feng's heavy artillery small firing range. There are also some truck guns deployed on both sides of the armored array to prevent the opponent from detouring.
The armored units of the two sides slowly approached each other. When the distance was close to 800 meters, the first row of cricket tanks first stopped and fired freely. Strings of tracer shells fired by the machine gun next to the artillery were as dazzling as fireflies flying in the night. Fly to the distant target, and calibrate the opponent's position and distance for the tank. After two brief rounds of aiming, the unique continuous sound of the 2-pounder gun began to resound through the battlefield.
A string of shells passed through the Prussian offensive forces. From time to time, unlucky tanks were hit. Accompanied by the sound of metal crashing, a puff of smoke erupted from the shot. After the first few tanks were "destroyed", the remaining vehicles quickly maneuvered to both sides, wanting to roundabout, only a small number of tanks equipped with 50MM guns hoped to rely on their firepower to destroy their opponents.
Although the frontal defense of the first-generation cricket is far weaker than Hu Feng, it still has an advantage in the relative penetration distance. Although the 50MM gun has great armor penetration power, the defense of the tank itself is even worse. Before entering their effective range, the Prussians paid the price of blood. On the battlefield, the chariots of both sides kept shooting at each other, and the flames kept jumping on the muzzle. When the distance between the two sides approached about 400 meters, the battle went into intense heat!
At a distance where each other can penetrate each other, the two chariots are doing their best to breathe deadly fire snakes. Buckman burned out two 7-round bullet boards in half a minute. He and two other companions formed a triangle formation, covering each other, and handing his side to a reliable comrade.
"30 degrees to the left, the target was found, damn, they moved faster than us!" Buckman reminded loudly. The driver in the front left of the car immediately stopped, and at the same time, the loader pulled a grenadier on the side of the car body and fired a smoke bomb. The khaki smoke screen instantly made the tank dodged, a red light. The point passes directly in front of the car body.
Then the driver immediately put on the normal gear, and while the cricket tank rushed out of the smoke screen, the slender 2-pounder gun aimed at the retreating target. At a distance of 300 meters, the gunner shot a row of shells to cover the target.
"Pay attention to keeping the formation, we are too far ahead!" Buckman patted the gunner on the shoulder for encouragement, and then reminded the driver to pay attention to the position of the tank.
"The communication between the tanks is always a difficult problem to solve. Therefore, in the battle, all crew members must maintain a calm heart, pay attention to their positions, and pay attention to their teammates." This is the instructor to Buckman. In the first lesson, in actual confrontation training, Buckman and his team were killed more than once because they were out of touch with their teammates.
But on the whole, as the chariot forces of the two sides gradually scrambled together, the chaos in formation and command is an inevitable result. The only thing that makes Buckman relieved is that the other party seems to be messier than himself, and he can keep it anyway. A fairly tight formation, and the Prussian armored unit on the opposite side has fallen into chaos. When they attacked, they might still cooperate a little bit, but now they are almost fighting separately.
"We seem to have deviated from the attack axis!" But soon, Buckman still found the problem. After identifying with the surrounding landmarks, he found that his team had left the original attack direction, and he looked around again , I found that there are some other teammates next to him. If it is the behavior of his own group, then it can be attributed to a mistake, but if several teams are like this, then there is only one possibility! They were induced!
Schmidt’s troops on the defensive side are still not enough. Some vehicles will inevitably be left in the breach to consolidate the position. He knows this, and Mackensen knows it too! So what he is waiting for is this opportunity! As a famous general, Mackenson still has the ability to fight back even when the opponent has huge technical advantages. After paying a huge price, he finally found each opportunity to break!
Yes, from a strategic point of view, Schmidt is defeated this time! Consuming and dispersing opponent forces through the frontal line of defense is only the first wave ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This strategy is very easy to see through, and Mackensen does not have much hope for this. And the second wave is really deadly, aren’t you very strong? Don’t your armored forces claim to be frontally invincible? That's great, I will fight you head-on! Happy! Sa Huan, right?
Mackensen knows the issue of communication very well, so he knows that once a large-scale battle begins, it will be difficult for the troops to be released easily. Hindenburg, Mackenson and others who have commanded military level-one exercises and battles are comparable. Schmidt and the others have a lot of experience. In this case, what if the commander knows it? How do you gather troops? How to deliver the message? Is there enough time?
Mackenson never thought about using armored vehicles and tanks to fight for the win! Mackensen has also seen Bavarian crickets and Hu Feng. Compared with these guys, the Prussian chariot is paper-fried. Isn't it a death stumbling? Therefore, Mackensen thought very clearly, use these armored vehicles as bait to let you spread out, and then enter the ambush circle prepared in advance by Lao Tzu! That's right, the truck gun in Mackensen's hand was not idle at all during the head-on fight! They have entered the ambush position, and then waited for the opponent to hit the muzzle!
