The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 504 Rehearsal

"This is all our current Wasp assault guns?" On the training ground of Iron Fort, the prince pointed to the scattered 9 chariots in the distance. \u003c/p\u003e "It's like this, except for one of the 9 vehicles that is a command vehicle that is going to be equipped with a radio station, the remaining 8 vehicles belong to three different models, two of which are the original original models, and the other 5 The vehicles are improved, 3 of which have increased frontal armor, and two of the Wasp assault guns have been replaced with new engines. Of course, the weight industry has gradually increased to 19 tons. "Maybach said. \u003c/p\u003e"This number is a bit small, let's pull up the breakthrough tank 1. It is the tank equipped with a 50mm gun turret." The prince said a little dissatisfied looking at the tank team that didn't even have a single company in the distance. \u003c/p\u003e"That all Prince Leopold said that the Type 1 tank is not easy to use, so the research and development plan has been delayed. In addition, didn't you say that you want to replace the 50mm gun with a 40mm rapid-fire gun? So there are not many Several Type 1 tanks are being improved in the workshop..." Mabach said with some embarrassment. \u003c/p\u003e "Then bring all the assault vehicles that can be used." The prince wiped off his cold sweat and said. \u003c/p\u003e "Are you going to equip a machine gun or a 37mm artillery? We now have a total of 10 assault tanks." Maybach asked. Assault tanks are basically German ft-17 tanks with improved suspension. The only difference is that one weapon is a machine gun and the other is a 37mm cannon. However, considering that it will fight on the Eastern Front in the future, this chariot called Cricket may use a 12.7mm machine gun as its main weapon. \u003c/p\u003e "Let's replace them with machine guns." The prince thought for a while and said. After all, in the future, the 37mm guns will be eliminated in the Bavarian army, so change them as soon as possible so that the people below can get used to them. \u003c/p\u003e"In this case, we will have 18 tanks of various types. Well, the armor strength is enough. In addition, tell the site management personnel not to release water on the swampy ground these days. Also, your technicians must Awesome, if a tank breaks down, I will deduct a month's wages from you, and if everything is fine, this year's year-end bonus will be double!" the prince ordered. \u003c/p\u003eThe insect combination of wasps and crickets is only part of this feast. In fact, what the prince wants to show Moltke is a combination of armored troops and mechanized infantry. As for the air force? Sorry, among all the heavier-than-air aircraft that can fly in Bavaria, the maximum take-off weight has not exceeded 700kg. This thing basically has no war value. \u003c/p\u003e"That Schmidt, bring over 20 of the sdk tractors we are going to ship to Russia to transport infantry. For infantry units, choose the first regiment of the Royal Guards. Then take our new 3.5 Get a ton truck to tow our 105mm howitzer." The prince thought for a while and ordered. \u003c/p\u003e"Then do we still need cavalry?" Schmidt asked after looking at the participating troops in his hands. There are armored troops responsible for tearing apart the line of defense, mechanized infantry following along, and towing artillery to press the formation. Matching is enough, the only fast assault role of cavalry has been replaced by mechanized infantry, and it has become a dispensable role. \u003c/p\u003e "Let's take it with you. After all, our exercises can't be too exaggerated. In fact, these vehicles are all ready to be exported to the Russians. The infantry transport vehicles that can really be used in the wilderness are still on the order list. "The prince said a little depressed. In fact, in the view of the prince's simple values, any tracked armored personnel carrier is a waste. Although the prince was a British and American fan in his previous life, he has to admit that when the industry and resources are not full, it is necessary to build a special armored carrier. The car is actually a bit of a waste.... \u003c/p\u003eLook at the large number of armored transport vehicles in the German World War II,

Then look at the tank production of Germany, and then look at the tank production of the Soviet Union, which was half-crippled at the beginning. You will understand everything. The Soviets did not have many personnel transport vehicles specially used to transport infantry. They used all their resources on tanks. In other words, good steel is used on the blade. If there is no special personnel transport vehicle, then ordinary trucks can also make do with it, but it is really impossible to take tanks directly. It is indeed very convenient 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 in scale. After all, compared to the scarcity of tanks, Bavaria has a relatively large population...  \u003c/p\u003eIn fact, those so-called infantry transport vehicles are also used to pull guns. Like the Russians, if it is time to go to the battlefield, temporarily add armor, anyway, just block the machine gun bullets. In terms of artillery, tanks may not be able to carry it, so don't make it difficult for personnel transport vehicles...  So even if the Bavarian Legion is equipped with a large number of half-track vehicles, its role is mostly responsible for artillery transportation and directly as an artillery chassis...  Staffing is only a part-time job. \u003c/p\u003e "The scale of the exercise is tentatively set as a regiment, with a battalion of troops simulating a regiment-level offensive battle. We will combine armor, artillery, infantry and engineers into an independent combat unit. They have the ability to cut the opponent's position and continue to fight. The ability to strike deeply, to test whether the troops equipped with new preparations have the ability to become a sharp sword.” Schmidt formulated the objectives of the exercise after a brief summary. \u003c/p\u003e"There is one more thing to add, that is the anti-assault capability. Our large forces are still dominated by infantry, and their movement speed is very slow, because our army has a large number of artillery and heavy equipment, so we The movement speed of the army may even be lower than that of the Russians who have relatively sufficient 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. \u003c/p\u003eIt is not difficult to drive a nail, even with simple infantry, but after entering, how to hold and consolidate the defense line is the difficulty. Under normal circumstances, the Germans use dense to bt Artillery fire is used to block the opponent's reinforcements, so as to isolate the breakthrough position, but for the Eastern Front, this approach is a bit difficult. On the one hand, the density of troops on the Eastern Front is too small, and on the other hand, it is also difficult to supply the Eastern Front. Therefore, this assault force should not only be a scalpel to cut through the opponent's defense line, but also a hammer and a grinder to kill a large number of opponents! \u003c/p\u003e"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 immediately consolidate their position on the spot and wait for the arrival of infantry troops. The second group After breaking through the opponent's position, enter the battlefield, directly pursue the remnants of the enemy, and expand the results of the battle. When the second group stops, the supplemented first group is attacking. In this way, a mode of continuous advancement, replenishment, and attack is formed. "Schmidt thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to the book friends First Guards Tank Brigade, Slow Travel K, Fly Hammer of Destruction, Sea Boundary~~~! And the support of book friends such as model husband, Wang Yao's young guard rabbit, good books are hard to find, dream endless, diving yy~~~! \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
