Chapter 1000: Anton's Vacation (Part II)
Anton recalled the files he needed to find in the notebook, and followed the text labels on the shelves and file bags to find the documents he needed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoBecause of his previous impressions, it didn't take long for Anton to find the first document he needed - a record of a battle six months ago.
Anton expertly unwrapped the tattered-looking paper bag of the archive, pulled out a few pieces of paper, and began to read it carefully—it was about a very tragic battle experienced by a Soviet tank squad. No, it was not so much a tragic defeat as a fiasco, because the outcome of that battle was simply heartbreaking.
There has always been a difference in the level of combat between the German and Soviet armies, depending in part on their equipment, but the Soviets usually had a numerical advantage, so this disadvantage was not very great in the period of a slightly more stable tug-of-war. What really makes the Soviet army's battle loss ratio lower than that of the German army is combat quality and informatization.
Unlike many high-achieving students from the German army's military academies, many of the Soviet army's armored troops were halfway monks, and their professional level of knowledge was definitely inferior to that of the German army. Although the knowledge in the brain may not necessarily be turned into strength, but it is better than nothing, although not every tactic is used, but the skill is not pressing, and the German soldiers who are ahead in this regard can always have more choices than the Soviet army in various situations.
As for informationization, it is a problem that the Soviet army urgently needs to solve; at the time of the war with the German army, although the Soviet tank troops had a large base, even if the quality of some tanks was insufficient, they could still completely compete with the German army. However, contrary to expectations, even if the Soviet army used relatively good tanks and had a numerical advantage, it was always beaten by the German armored troops who seemed to be inferior, which also depended on the shortcomings of the Soviet army's information capabilities.
Although the firepower, armor, and mobility of the tank itself are the three very important basic points, if there is a lack of information communication with other combat vehicles, this is actually a group of stragglers in many cases, and in the face of well-organized German troops, it is naturally not surprising that they are beaten to the head and bleed.
Although the Soviets later realized the seriousness of the problem, so as to quickly replenish the number of radio stations in the armored forces, this gap could not be filled in a day or two, there are always loopholes in places, and the gap in tactical cultivation is even more so.
This is the case of the battle that Anton saw, judging from the battle recorded in the archives, this Soviet tank squad and infantry launched a quick surprise attack on a small German village, and quickly surrounded the village, even if the German army had the possibility of breaking through, but it had to pay the price of blood.
But this is not the case, just as they were preparing to attack the village and give the last blow to the stubborn German defenders, a German reinforcement from the flank suddenly joined the battlefield, this is a German armored squad, the level of equipment is ahead of the Soviet side, but in terms of the total strength of the infantry, it is obvious that the Soviet side has the upper hand.
It is for this reason that the Soviets did not retreat, but quickly prepared a defensive line, ready to block the offensive of this reinforcement first. This kind of decision can't say that there is anything wrong, it can only be said that it is a conservative and decent approach, and it is also a good choice when you can't think of any strange ideas.
But what they didn't expect was that the German chariots suddenly came out from all directions, which really frightened them, and when they hurriedly dodged, they were bitten back by the German army who were inferior in numbers, although the injury was not fatal, but it was really infuriating.
In view of the failure of the first attack, the Soviets were not in a hurry to take revenge, but also waited for reinforcements closer to them, so that they had a great advantage in the number of armored troops, and the same was true on the infantry side, in the face of such a small village that was almost impossible to defend, everyone could be said to be inevitable.
In this way, their second attack was soon launched, and as they expected, the German defensive belt outside the village was almost weakened and collapsed at the touch of a blow because of the lack of troops. Thanks to this, the Soviet soldiers soon entered the interior of the village, but it was at this time that their nightmare really began......
Although it had been expected that the Germans would most likely use the tunnels to conduct guerrilla defensive warfare, when they really fought with these German troops, the Soviets were completely dumbfounded. The German infantry performance is quite normal, so leave it alone for the time being, but the armored forces can only be described as elusive!
According to the archives, the commander of this squad used the word 'ghost' to describe the German panzer squad against them, as they were always present at the most critical moment in areas they could not take care of, and thus launched attacks on them. And even if they have an absolute numerical advantage, they can only barely bite the tail of some 'ghosts'. But that's not a good thing, because when you bite a 'ghost', another 'ghost' will attack you while you're focused on pursuit.
Although it was not uncommon for the Germans to fight with fewer enemies during a long war, this was usually either an ambush or a 'seemingly inferior battle' that relied on superior equipment.
But this time it was different, no matter how you look at it, the Germans were at a disadvantage, and they did not make full use of the advantages in equipment during the battle, but instead introduced Soviet troops into the village for guerrilla warfare. You must know that the Germans have only just occupied this village, and if you want to talk about the familiarity with this village, both sides are also on the same starting line, so for the average commander of armored forces, this tactic is extremely risky.
However, the commander of the German armored unit succeeded, and he not only succeeded, but also achieved a considerable victory, and in the course of his ghost-like battle, the Soviet troops suffered heavy casualties, eighty percent of the troops were annihilated, and the Germans only damaged a small number of infantry.
"......" Anton silently put this file paper back into the paper bag, this is not the first time he has seen the German army using information tactics to defeat the Soviet army, but this time there is a different harvest......
