The Iron Castle, the name of which is quite sci-fi in later generations, appeared on the map of the prince's bedroom, in a remote corner of the northwestern direction of the Kingdom of Bavaria, at the suggestion of Prince Ruprecht, and with the full support of Prince Leopold, the first tank mechanized training center in Bavaria was officially established!

Well, it's still a bit early to talk about the mechanized synthesis training center, and at present, the only training content that can be implemented in this training center is only two, one is the infantry and tank cooperative operations. The other one is www.biquge.info platoon-level armored vehicle cooperative combat ....... There are only five armored vehicles of various types in the entire training center, and the number of trucks is required to carry out the training.

Outside of the Iron Castle Training Center, the Prince placed one of his most elite Royal Guards battalions in charge of security, and this guard battalion was equipped with 50 vehicles of various types, including but not limited to trucks, armoured vehicles, trains, ....... That's right, even if there are trains, the horsepower of trucks in this era is still enough, and it is still very difficult to transport an assault gun of about 15 to 18 tons from the factory to the test site, so a large amount of heavy equipment can only be transported by flatbed trucks.

And for this reason, Germany's first armored vehicle production plant is also located not far away, all personnel are fed and sheltered, militarized management, and even personal problems are solved internally as much as possible....... No way, this is the prince's killer weapon, in the 1st war, whether the prince eats meat or drinks soup depends entirely on how this goes.

As a result, a factory, a design institute, plus a railroad and a synthetic training center, cost the prince as much as 8 million marks! That's £400,000! That's enough for a year's wages for 8,000 skilled workers! It's a heartache to spend this money.

"It's all a must! The Teutonic cavalry of a new era will be born from here! Looking at the painful numbers on the bill, the prince comforted himself. And after a lot of money is invested in it, it must have an effect, and both the prince and Prince Leopold are very concerned about this. Every once in a while, he went back to inspect it, which made Major General Alexander Schmidt, who was temporarily in charge of the operation of the entire training center.

THE BREAKTHROUGH TANK 2 BECAME THE FOCUS OF DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF ITS HEAVY ARMOR AND THE POWERFUL 75MM SHORT GUN, AND NOW THIS BATTLE 1 VERSION OF THE THIRD ASSAULT GUN HAS A MORE FORMAL NAME, THAT IS, THE WASP BREAKTHROUGH TANK, BUT BECAUSE THE PRINCE EMPHASIZED THAT AS A TANK MUST HAVE A TURRET THAT CAN BE TURNED, THIS TANK WAS EVENTUALLY RENAMED THE WASP ASSAULT GUN. In addition, this assault gun was designed after three major changes, and the good people also made it the ...... of the third assault gun.

As Bavaria's chief tankman, Mike now has an extraordinarily loud nickname, and that is Panzer Mike! In addition to testing tanks in various complex terrains, his current job is to study how to cooperate with a group of infantry brothers.

The first feeling of envy after the infantry who had just come to the Iron Fort was even envy, and the second feeling was to be happy, the former was because they were envious that Mike and others could sit in this invulnerable iron guy and fight without having to face the rain of bullets, these veterans had experienced many exercises, and now they also knew very well how fragile and ......unbearable human life was under the current firepower.

As for rejoicing, it is naturally that this big guy is on their side, not on the enemy's side. It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, it's good to have such a big thing blocking bullets in front! At least that's what everybody thinks, at least until they get serious. But in practice, it's not like that at all!

"! What about people? "Mike later became the first German man in armor, and after being called the Iron Butcher, he still remembers the first time he fought in a coordinated infantry battle, with Mike driving a Vespa assault gun in the lead, and then a whole platoon of soldiers following behind his tank, completely treating the big guy as a mobile steel fortress.

For example, if there were no Vespa assault guns, the soldiers of this platoon could at least form an inverted triangle battle formation during the attack, with two infantry squads on both flanks, like crab pincers, and a third squad with heavy weapons in the rear, using machine guns and grenadiers to support the troops.

Combat teams in the squad would work together in this way, with the Demoman and Submachine Gunner approaching the position under smoke grenades and rifle fire, and then, after successfully blasting the opponent's bunker, the Submachine Gunner cleared the trench, and the rest of the squad quickly followed the path opened by the former.

But now that they have this thing, the infantry are subconsciously moving around this chariot, and everyone is crowded behind the chariot, as if they can solve everything by relying on the chariot. The original agility was gone, and according to Schmidt's words, he felt that the soldiers behind the chariot were a group of puppets!

And conducting the experiment on a field close to the actual combat environment, Mike also felt that it was a little difficult to operate this behemoth! The Vespa Assault Gun struggled through the mud, struggling through the mud, avoiding puddles of unknown depth, and bypassing barbed wire and trenches, as the former could get caught up in the tracks and get entangled in the running equipment, which could be difficult to troubleshoot in actual combat. Trenches are even more troublesome, as a slightly wider trench can cause the chariot to get stuck when climbing over the trench.

"But the 900-meter simulated battlefield, we walked for a full 70 minutes! The people in the training center are so vicious that they actually used 5 pumping machines to make a swamp for us! Mike recounted in his diary.

Tank combat has no future, and Mike realized this from the beginning, because the Vespa assault gun is not invincible, according to his estimates, if the Russians are equipped with armor-piercing shells, they can easily penetrate the frontal armor of the assault gun at a distance of 500 meters. Mines and cluster grenades can easily destroy the fragile walking parts of the vehicle, and even a stake or bundle of pit viper wire can make it difficult to move. Even without this, the muddy ground would have been a huge drain on the vehicle's fuel and poor engine life.

"It's time for a more detailed rule." Ruprecht said after reading the report.
