Chapter 467: The Road Roller

This statement immediately attracted the attention of others.

Jia Jingyuan leaned over and said: "We must know about the blitzkrieg, Guderian, if you attack it unprepared, you will fight it quickly." ”

Xiao Lu shook his head and said: "Wrong, blitzkrieg is not a tactic, but a style of play, called paralyzing play, he concentrates superior forces and hoards at a certain point, for example, the German army attacks a city, what is his style of play?"

Xiao Lu took away the dishes and chopsticks in front of the table, grabbed a handful of salt and pepper peanuts, and fiddled with them on the table for a while, so that the peanuts were arranged in an orderly manner: "To understand the blitzkrieg, we must first understand a concept, what is an armored cluster? This concept was invented by the Germans during World War II, and the core concept is called infantry and artillery coordination, which mixes infantry and armor together to form a cluster. ”

"Take the German Fourth Panzer Group as an example, when the troops are approaching the city, the infantry will first stand aside for me, where it is cooler, and the tanks will be listed first. ”

Picking up the chopsticks, he casually flicked the peanuts on the table, as if a staff officer was deducing the sand table: "An armored group, with two to four tank battalions under its jurisdiction, 300 Leopard tanks spread out horizontally, followed by assault gun battalions, mortar battalions, self-propelled guns, high-level two-shot artillery, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, an anti-tank battalion, the barrels of the tanks bombarded the city gate with flat fire, and the artillery elevated angles were hung into the city." ”

"Do you think this is the end? Far more than that, there are two groups of aviation formations behind you, an armored cluster of more than 20,000 people, hundreds of tanks, hundreds of infantry combat vehicles, thousands of artillery pieces, and hundreds of tons of ammunition are facing you, so I ask you if you are afraid?"

Jia Jingyuan was shocked: "Engage in such a big battle?"

"At the sound of an order, several thousand artillery pieces first carried out a round of hanging fire, and the miasma of smoke was heard, and the aviation company carried out another carpet bombardment, and then the tanks were in front, the infantry fighting vehicles were behind, and the infantry artillery was interspersed and advanced. ”

Several people present were fascinated by what they heard, and Jia Jingyuan was enthusiastic: "Well said, this is what you said about paralyzing play? ”

Xiao Lu smiled: "Don't laugh, this is the symbol of war during World War II, the first firepower coverage, the infantry and the tank coordinated charge, and will be equipped with two wings of the grenadier regiment, fire grenades, throw grenades, bomb all the way forward, as long as you master the air supremacy, or open a hole on the battlefield, any point to achieve the purpose of rapid occupation and comprehensive destruction, and then it is difficult to turn over." ”

Fan Yang thought thoughtfully: "Then the strength of the German army is that it is proficient in this style of play?"

Xiao Lu shook his head and said: "No, this is not accurate, the armored cluster is the core, but the real meaning of the blitzkrieg is that there is a relative, why did Germany lose in World War I?" There is a big problem in strategy, the Schlieffen plan during World War I, the main point of its operation is to avoid the enemy's main force, sneak attack the rear, encircle Paris, prevent the British army from landing, and then wait in Paris to wait for work, annihilation of the French army that has returned to help, this operational idea is too complicated, to go around the enemy's rear, occupy the capital, and then return to the coastline, it is too difficult to implement, this operational idea is very strange, but a bit self-deceptive, a bit similar to Zhao Kuo's paper talk. ”

"Then, in the Second World War period, Guderian's strategy was very different, abandoning those flashy things, completely abandoning the idea of all-out war, in the words of the Chinese, Schlieffen used soldiers like Zhuge Liang, intrigues and tricks emerged endlessly, but the six Northern Expeditions were all in vain, Guderian and Rommel are more like Cao Cao, ruthless, decisive, these two study sneak attacks, the various tactics of sneak attacks to the extreme, he will not tell you before he wants to fight, but once he starts, your internal situation is clear to him, blow up your airfield, oil depot, and important strategic facilities, lock a front, will drive straight along the established strategic goal, fight along this front all the way, all the way to the capital, rarely turn in the middle, once he sneaks up on you, you will be finished. ”

Xiao Lu added: "It's really unstoppable, when the blitzkrieg attacked Poland, Poland had more than 800,000 people, a total of 6 group armies' defense line, only held out for 10 days before the whole line was defeated, only one armored cluster was used, 1 day, just 1 day, to defeat Denmark, at that time, France was known as the strongest army in Europe, and it only lasted more than a month, and half of Europe was defeated." ”

Jia Jingyuan was stunned and asked, "What about the UK?"

Without waiting for Xiao Lu to speak, Li Qilin took it and said: "Britain is an archipelago, where can he fight, the British navy is very strong, and the sea is the hegemon." ”

The conversation is biased, and it becomes a few Chinese chatting quite well here.

A few of the Erros simply didn't understand what was being said.

Xiao Lu also chatted: "So, strategy and tactics are flexible, the German army galloping half of Europe, it will not work if it hits Su Lian, do you want to know what Su Lian's housekeeping skills are?"

Several people laughed: "Of course I want to." ”

"It's called the steamroller tactic, which is the steel torrent. ”

Fan Yang smiled: "Isn't it a description or something?"

Xiao Lu said: " No, it was called a steamroller at the time, in fact, Germany's military technology at that time in World War II was not necessarily outrageous, at that time the strongest tank in Europe was in France, the strongest aircraft was in the United Kingdom, Britain had strategic bombers, which could carry out long-range bombing, but Germany did not, he only had the oldest dive tactical bomber, and the number of tanks could not catch up with the Soviet Union, the key to his victory was the flexibility of the tactics, this platoon was also very particular, and in modern ground warfare, the most important weapon is the tank, how should you arrange this battle formation?"

Fan Yang couldn't help but look at the peanuts on the table: "Is this very particular?"

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "Of course, in the battle of the large corps, the layout of the tanks is extremely exquisite, a combat unit of a company has 14 tanks, using a 243 formation, two side by side in front, which is the command tank of the company, and 12 vehicles in the back, three rows and four columns." ”

"The advantage of this arrangement is that it is simple to operate, the density is appropriate, and it is not limited by the terrain, if it is two companies, it can be spread out to the two wings in the process of charging, and then the encirclement is carried out after tearing through the defensive line, do not underestimate this arrangement, this is the famous pincer offensive of the German army, and there is almost no one to beat in the European theater. ”
