Chapter 079: Tank Tactics
After Yi Fei left, there were more than 400 people, and most of these mercenaries were gourmets.
For these Huaxia mercenaries who volunteered to follow him, Yi Fei gave preferential treatment. As the first mercenary Yi Fei knew, Li Huaduo was honored to be the temporary leader, and Yi Fei arranged some tasks for him.
The distribution of rations in the valley was handed over to him. Field rations and some game meat were received daily from the convoy. Field rations can be distributed in sufficient quantities, and they can be kept for the sake of improving the food for these hundreds of people.
In order for them to deter the other mercenaries, Yi Fei returned their weapons, but there was one that could not leave the valley.
And those who were unwilling to accept the incorporation, and those who were waiting to negotiate terms with Yi Fei, Yi Fei ignored them at all, explained to Li Huaduo, and left after not allowing them to approach Taniguchi.
Yi Fei returned to Dawen Town and went to the legion headquarters, he, the corps commander, had been missing for several days when the enemy was in the present, and it was time to show up.
Under Yi Fei's ingenious arrangement, the three-way coalition army attacking Daweng Town only used eight regiments, adding up to a little more than 30,000 people, to trap the enemy who was twenty times more than them.
In the Dugi army, Yi Fei's prestige has risen to an unprecedented height. The soldiers who saw Yi Fei along the road were very excited, and they began to stand up and salute from a distance, but no one dared to approach Yi Fei and talk to him.
In Yi Fei's legion headquarters, Ye Tianlong and Ma Yao, as well as Wu Zhe, who was in charge of the defense of Daweng Town, were all there. Wu Zhe is here every day, and the defense of Dawen Town, Yi Fei is handed over to him. Ye Tianlong and Ma Yao just come over once a day. I want to find Yi Fei to fight.
Ye Tianlong, the head of the guard regiment, has become the commander of the first armored division. His position as the head of the guard regiment has been handed over to Wu Zhe.
This one looks exactly like the Wu Zhe Administrator in the modern world. The soldier with the same name is an instructor of the reserve force of the Duji Guard Regiment, and his skills are still very good. Yi Fei's love house and Wu are not nepotism.
The commander of the Second Armored Division is Ma Tao, the chief of the guard of Du Ji. Yi Fei freed up an armored army, and Du Ji was also very greedy, but it was just the equipment of this army. It's all brought by Yi Fei, and besides, the logistics of the armored division. It's a bottomless pit, even if you let out a division, Du Ji can't afford to raise it.
Du Ji was unwilling and sent his chief guard over. This junior brother who has been following him. It's time to accumulate a little military merit.
Ma Tao is a straightforward man, just look at his son Ma Tao's temperament. Yi Fei attached great importance to Ma Tao who came over from Du Jisai, and directly asked him to bring a division. Being able to come up with the tactics of group combat and being the commander of an armored division can be regarded as making the best use of people.
Seeing Yi Fei come in, Wu Zhe quickly stood up and saluted, "Hello Legion Commander!" ”
Yi Fei waved his hand to the staff officers who were all in the room and let them do their jobs. Only then did he take the teacup handed over by Wu Zhe and asked the two division commanders, "You don't guard the training of your subordinates. What are you doing here? ”
Ye Tianlong and Ma Tao solemnly saluted Yi Fei, "We are here to fight, and now the enemy's three-way army has been dragged by our army." Now the enemy is in a dilemma, but we are also in a difficult situation. There are too many enemies, and a few regiments fighting guerrilla attacks will not last long,"
Yi Fei looked at them with interest, "How do you want to fight?" ”
The two opened their mouths, closed their mouths in unison, and turned their heads to look at each other, as if waiting for the other to speak first.
Yi Feile, "You guys are really humble, who said it wasn't the same first?" Master Ma, you're older, so let's talk about it first. ”
The tactics proposed by Ma Tao are still effective, and he even put forward the tactics of infantry and tan coordination, Yi Fei was surprised, "I said Lao Ma, have you ever learned the theory of tank combat?" ”
Ma Tao shook his head embarrassedly, "I haven't been to a military school, I just think it's my own foolishness, I just think that if you fight like this, the effect must be good." ”
Ye Tianlong said with a smile: "Old Marco is amazing, he pondered it himself, and actually thought of the tactical theory of blitzkrieg by himself, this is the war model proposed by Guderian, a famous Prussian general in the coalition army, and it is only a small-scale application at present." Tank group operations have not yet been practiced. ”
Yi Fei looked at Ye Tianlong meaningfully, "Where did you know this, Guderian is the commander of the Prussian Army's armored armies, does he have any connection with you?" ”
Ma Tao helped explain: "Commander, you misunderstood, Division Commander Ye used to study in Prussia, in the Berlin Army Military Academy, and Guderian was a classmate, and the two have an excellent relationship, it is not surprising that they know that guy's tactical thinking." ”
Yi Fei joked to Ye Tianlong, "Your classmates are all commanders, you are only a division commander, will you feel wronged?" ”
"Report to the commander, no, I studied armored troops, there were no armored troops in Datang before, even if I became the commander of the corps, there was no use, now I have my own combat vehicle, I am confident that I will lead our armored division to defeat the troops of the coalition army."
The following conversation made Yi Fei realize that Datang was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and Ma Tao, who could propose a blitzkrieg, could also be said to be a flash of inspiration, or a genius idea.
Ye Tianlong is even more incredible, the theory of blitzkrieg and tank cluster combat was actually the first thing he put forward. Guderian was just picking up people's ideas and putting his ideas into practice.
If it weren't for the fact that he learned a lot from Ye Tianlong, Guderian shone in the early days of the war, and this guy might still be a lieutenant now.
After listening to the statements of the two armored division commanders, Yi Fei was very satisfied. But he did not agree to the tank division's request to attack, "Two division commanders, I can understand that you are eager to fight, but you have ignored a very important issue. ”
"What's the problem?" Ma Tao and Ye Tianlong asked in unison.
Yi Fei picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down slowly, and then asked, "How many days has our armored corps been formed?" How's the training, what's the starting shooting percentage, have you trained your attacks on the move? Have you practiced all kinds of tactics? ”
Although Yi Fei didn't know much about it, what he said casually made the two armored division commanders dumbfounded.
In this world, tanks have only been around for a long time, and there is no concept of starting hit rate and on-the-go attack at all.
However, the statement put forward by Yi Fei can be understood literally, and it is also the key to winning the decisive battle of the tank.
The two armored divisions of the Yifei Regiment have just been formed, and they have only been trained for a few days, and the soldiers have simply learned to fire and drive, and now they are too hasty to go to the battlefield. (To be continued......)
