Chapter 676: Confrontation 1

"Keep going, after this war is over, I promise that the Prussian regiment will have better tanks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Looking at the subordinates next to him with somewhat ugly faces, Mackenson said calmly, in fact, from the beginning of the exercise to the present, Mackenson has been depressed. Let's not talk about the natural disasters at the beginning, let's just say that after the start of the fight, just two days ago, his improvised fast corps lost one-tenth of its vehicles due to breakdowns or other reasons, and either fell into a pit or broke down. Ordinary wheeled vehicles are not so miserable, and the temporary modification of vehicles is the culprit, but the battle must continue. Although the situation is getting more and more unfavorable, Mackensen is well prepared!

"It's coming! Get ready for battle! "Look at the 2 red flares that are rising at the same time in the distance. Buckman quickly retracted into his cricket assault tank. Strange vehicles in Buckman's eyes gradually appeared in the field of vision, "This is the real battle!" A collision between steel and steel! ”

The Bavarian Corps sent two horizontal columns of battle formations, the first row was a cricket tank, the second row was a Hu Feng assault gun, and the Prussian tanks were all lightly armored units in the eyes of Bavaria, and the thickest armored front was only 15mm, which could not stop 2-pound armor-piercing shells at all. The rate of fire of the machine guns and the large firing range of the turret are obviously better than the small firing range of Hu Feng's heavy artillery, and some truck guns are deployed on both sides of the armored array to prevent the opponent from making a detour.

The armored units of both sides slowly approached each other, and when the distance was close to 800 meters, the first row of cricket tanks stopped and began to fire freely, and the machine guns next to the guns fired strings of tracer bullets like fireflies flying in the night, they flew to distant targets, and marked the position and distance of the other side for the tanks. After two short rounds of aiming, the continuous sound characteristic of the 2-pounder began to resound throughout the battlefield.

Strings of shells passed through the Prussian attacking troops, and from time to time unlucky chariots were hit, accompanied by the sound of metal crashing, and puffs of smoke erupted from the hit areas. After the first few vehicles were "destroyed", the remaining vehicles quickly maneuvered to the sides in an attempt to outflank them, and only a small number of vehicles armed with 50mm guns hoped to destroy their opponents with superior firepower.

Although the frontal defense of the first generation of crickets is much weaker than that of Hu Feng, it still has an advantage in terms of relative breakdown distance, although the armor-piercing power of the 50mm gun is great, but the defense of the tank itself is even worse. Before entering the effective range of their own side, the Prussians paid the price of blood. On the battlefield, the chariots of both sides continued to fire at each other, and clusters of flames kept jumping on the muzzles of the guns. When the distance between the two sides approached about 400 meters, the battle entered the white heat!

At a distance where they could penetrate each other, the vehicles of both sides spewed deadly fiery serpents with all their might. Buckman used up two seven-round planks in quick succession in the space of half a minute, and he and two other companions formed a triangular formation, covering each other, handing over his flank to a reliable comrade.

"30 degrees to the left, find the target, damn it, they're moving faster than us!" Buckman reminded loudly. The driver in front of the left immediately made a sharp stop, while at the same time, the loader pulled a grenadier on the side of the hull and fired a smoke grenade, which instantly caused the chariot to dodge and a red point of light passed directly in front of the hull.

The driver then immediately put up gear, and while the cricket tank rushed out of the smoke screen, the slender 2-pounder gun was aimed at the retreating target. At a distance of 300 meters, the gunner ran out of a volley of shells in one fell swoop to cover the target.

"Keep in shape, we're too far ahead!" Buckman patted the gunner on the shoulder in encouragement, then reminded the driver of the vehicle's position.

"Liaison between vehicles is always a difficult problem to solve, so in battle, all crew members must keep a calm mind, pay attention to their position, and pay attention to their teammates." This was the instructor's first lesson to Buckman, and on more than one occasion during actual confrontation training, Buckman and his group were killed for being out of touch with their teammates.

But on the whole, as the tank units of the two sides gradually scuffled together, the confusion of formation and command was the inevitable result, and the only thing that relieved Buckman was that the other side seemed to be more chaotic than himself, and his side could maintain a relatively tight formation, while the Prussian armored units on the opposite side had fallen into chaos. They may have been a little cooperative, but now they are almost on their own.

"We seem to have strayed from the axis of attack!" But soon, Buckman still noticed the problem, after identifying the surrounding landmarks, he found that his team had left the original direction of attack, he looked around again, and found that there were some other teammates next to him, if it was his own group's behavior, then it could be attributed to mistakes, but if several squads were like this, then there was only one possibility! They were induced!

Schmidt's troops were not enough to defend the flanks, and part of the vehicles must have been left at the breach to consolidate positions, which he knew, and Mackensen knew well! So that's what he's waiting for! As a generation of famous players, even if the opponent has a huge technical advantage, he still has the ability to fight back, and after paying a huge price, he finally found every opportunity to break through!

That's right, strategically speaking, this time Schmidt was defeated! Wearing down and dispersing the opponent's forces through the defensive line head-on was only the first wave, and it was a strategy that was easy to spot, and Mackensen didn't have much hope for it. And the second wave is the real deadly, aren't you very strong? Aren't your armored forces known as frontal invincibility? That's good, Lao Tzu and you face each other! Rejoice! Happy, right?

Mackensen is very aware of the problem of communication and liaison, so he knows that once a large-scale battle begins, it will be difficult to release the troops and take them back, and Hindenburg, Mackensen, and others, who have commanded exercises and battles at the military level, are much more experienced than Schmidt, so in this case, even if the commander knows? How do you gather troops? How do I deliver a message? Is there time to come?

Mackensen never thought that he could win with armored vehicles and tanks! Mackensen has also seen Bavarian crickets and Hu Feng, compared to these guys, Prussian chariots are papier-mâché, and the frontal death is not looking for death? So, Mackensen thought very clearly, use these armored vehicles as bait, let you disperse, and then enter the ambush circle prepared by Lao Tzu in advance! That's right, at the time of the head-to-head battle, the truck guns in Mackensen's hands were not idle at all! They have entered the ambush position, and then wait for the other side to ram into the muzzle!
