"That's all our current Vespa assault guns?" On the exercise ground of the Iron Castle, the prince pointed to the nine chariots scattered in the distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, except for one of the nine command vehicles that were ready to be equipped with radio stations, the remaining eight belonged to three different models, two of which were the original original models, the other five were improved, three of which were equipped with increased frontal armor, and two Vespa assault gun C models were equipped with new engines. Of course, the weight industry gradually increased to 19 tons. Maybach said.

"That's a bit small, let's pull up the Breakthrough Tank Type 1. It's the same tank with a 50mm gun turret. The prince looked at the chariot in the distance, which did not even have a company, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"That Prince Leopold said that the Type 1 tank was not very useful, so the development plan was delayed a bit, and besides, didn't you say that the 50mm gun should be replaced with a 40mm rapid-fire gun? So the few Type 1 tanks are being ...... in the factory for improvement. Mabach said with some embarrassment.

"Then bring in all the assault vehicles you can use." The prince wiped a cold sweat and said.

"Would you rather be armed with a machine gun or a 37mm gun? We now have a total of 10 assault tanks. Maybach asked. The assault tank is basically the FT-17 tank with improved suspension in German. The only difference is that one weapon is a machine gun, and the other is a 37mm gun. However, considering that in the future of fighting on the Eastern Front, this combat vehicle, known as the Cricket, may have to use a 12.7mm machine gun as its main weapon.

"Let's all switch to machine guns." The prince thought for a moment and said. After all, in the future, the Bavarian army will eliminate 37mm guns, and it is necessary to change equipment as soon as possible to let the people below adapt to it.

"In this case, we have 18 combat vehicles of all kinds, well, the armored force is enough, and tell the site management personnel, don't release water on the swamp ground these days, and also, your technicians must be powerful, if a tank breaks down, I will deduct a month's salary from you, if everything is fine, this year's year-end bonus will be double!" The prince commanded.

The insect combination of wasps and crickets is only part of the feast, in fact, what the prince wants to show Moltke Jr. is a combination of armored troops and mechanized infantry, as for the air force? Sorry, but the maximum take-off weight of all the heavier-than-air aircraft in Bavaria has not yet exceeded 700kg. This thing basically has no war value.

"That Schmidt, bring over 20 of the SDK tractors that we are going to ship to Russia, and use them to transport the infantry. For infantry units, choose the 1st Royal Guards Regiment. Then we got our new 3.5-ton truck and used it to tow our 105mm howitzers. The prince thought for a moment and commanded.

"And do we still need cavalry?" Schmidt looked at the formation of the participating troops in his hand and asked, there are armored troops responsible for tearing the defense line, mechanized infantry following the advance, and traction artillery pressing the formation, this combination is enough, the only rapid assault role of the cavalry has been replaced by mechanized infantry, and has become a dispensable role.

"Let's bring it, after all, our exercises can't be too pompous, in fact, these vehicles are all we are going to export to the Russians to pull artillery, and the infantry transport vehicles that can really be used in the wilderness are still on the order list." The prince said with some depression. In fact, in the eyes of the prince's simple values, any tracked armored personnel transport vehicle is a waste, although the prince was a British and American fan in his last life, but he also has to admit that in the case of industry and resources, it is actually a bit ......of a waste to get a special armored transport vehicle.

Look at the large number of armored transport vehicles in Germany in World War 2, then look at the German tank production, and then look at the tank production of the Soviet Union, which was half-crippled at the beginning. You'll understand everything. The Soviets had very few personnel carriers for transporting infantry, and they spent all their resources on tanks, in other words, good steel on the blade. There is no special personnel transport vehicle, so you can make do with an ordinary truck, but you can't take a tank directly. It is indeed convenient for a country with a relatively large population base such as Russia, and now it is also very suitable for Bavaria, which cannot even form a tank on the scale. After all, compared to the scarcity of tanks, the population of Bavaria is still relatively large.......

In fact, those so-called infantry transport vehicles are actually also capable of pulling guns. Like the Russians, if it really comes time to go to war, temporarily add armor, just block the machine gun bullets anyway. In terms of artillery, tanks may not be able to carry it, so don't make it difficult for personnel carriers to ....... Therefore, even if the Bavarian Corps was heavily equipped with half-tracks, its role was mostly responsible for artillery transportation and directly as artillery chassis ....... Personnel transfer is only part-time.

"The scale of the exercise is tentatively set as a regiment, with the strength of a battalion simulating a regimental scale offensive battle, and we will combine the armor, artillery, infantry and engineer into an independent combat unit, which has the ability to cut through the opponent's position and continue to strike deeply, in order to test whether the troops armed with the new preparation are capable of becoming a sharp combat knife." Schmidt set the objectives of the exercise after a brief summarization.

"And one more thing, and that's the counter-assault capability, our large forces are still dominated by infantry, and they move very slowly, because our army has a lot of artillery and heavy equipment, so we may move even less quickly than the Russians, who have more horses. To do this, our troops must have the ability to independently resist the attacks of superior opponents! The prince thought for a moment and said.

It is often not difficult to drive a nail, and even simple infantry can do it, but after penetrating, how to hold and consolidate the defensive line is the difficulty, under normal circumstances, the Germans' approach is to use dense artillery fire 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 must not only be a scalpel to cut through the opponent's defense, but also a hammer and a grinding plate to kill the opponent in large quantities!

"Therefore, I propose to divide the offensive into two groups, the first group is responsible for breaking through the opponent's position, they carry a large amount of equipment and ammunition, and once they break through, they immediately consolidate their positions on the spot and wait for the arrival of infantry units, while the second group enters the battlefield after breaking through the opponent's position, directly pursuing the remnants of the enemy and expanding the results. When the second group stops, the first group that has been supplemented is attacking, so that a pattern of continuous advancement, replenishment-attack is formed. Schmidt thought for a moment and said.
