The first appearance of the armored forces is absolutely amazing, the three division commanders are pale, they are all cutting-edge generals, the oldest one is only 28 years old, the speed of army expansion in the northwest, in this era can be said to be the best in the world, but it does not mean that the level of the division commander is very poor, the entire northwest is only more than 70 divisions, of which the first class only occupies one-third, in the peaceful years without war, in order to stand out, in addition to their own ability to be sufficient, but also must be better than others, in tactical strategy, Even in terms of training methods, it is far better than others.

The opponents of the exercise, they all know that a regiment and a brigade, they have three divisions, although the arrangement may not be able to give full play to the full strength of the three divisions, but in their opinion, it should be no problem to resist for two or three days, but in fact, they have not even been able to block it for 30 minutes, and if it is a real war, I am afraid that they will not even be able to escape much.

Tanks and armored vehicles, in a certain situation, are equivalent to the heavy cavalry of the cold weapon era, or the kind of heavy cavalry that horses never feel tired and can continue to pursue, almost a combination of light and heavy cavalry.

When the two sides gathered their troops and finally gathered together, when they met the commanders of the armored forces opposite, although they were polite on the surface, the commanders of these armored units were arrogant, and even the ordinary officers looked at the sky.

With the strength of one brigade and one regiment, three divisions were routed head-on, even at the time of real combat. It took only 30 minutes for the heavily fortified position on the front to be breached. In this sense, the commanders of the three first-class divisions are waste. These armored units also have a basis for pride.

When Zhang Xiaozhun walked in, he encountered such a situation, looking at the triumphant commander of the armored forces, Zhang Xiaozhun felt for the first time that Jiang Baili saw it very accurately, and the armored forces were very powerful, but he had no weaknesses, even if it was Jiang Baili, through observation. I thought of a lot of countermeasures, not to mention Yang Yuanzhao, who has never eaten pork, and has always seen pigs run, even in the 21st century, the example of civilians fighting tanks is not nothing.

Zhang Xiaozhun immediately followed the consultation with Jiang Baili, and first reprimanded the commanders of the three first-class divisions, with his qualifications and current status. The identity of the head of the General Logistics Department, they did not dare to refute it at all. After reprimanding the three division commanders, the conversation changed and casually pointed out a few strategies to protect tanks.

The chief officer of those two armored units. At first, he didn't care about it, but when he thought about these methods carefully, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. These schemes are too sharp and directly target their soft underbelly.

In the previous exercises. The biggest reason why tanks show such great power is that these troops do not understand tanks. I'm not familiar with his performance, but if you can calm down and think about it, there are really many ways.

The armor is powerful, but it is more on the long-distance attack, aiming at the opponent's position without a fixed defense, and really facing a tightly protected position, even the armor cannot achieve greater effect, unless the weapons of the two sides are very different. In later generations, often a simple Molotov cocktail was enough to deal with armored vehicles, and armor without infantry protection was not very practical in a complex situation. Tank trenches, cluster bombs, and even some anti-tank weapons give tanks a big headache.

No matter how powerful the tank is, it is impossible to violate the laws of nature, when the entire tank trench that is more than the length and width of the tank appears, at least the tank can not easily break through the front line of defense, and the irregular tank trench can also reduce the speed of the tank, and the large-caliber armor-piercing projectile can still pose a threat to the tank, especially when the speed of the tank is reduced, the possibility of being shot will be greatly increased.

A series of knocks and beats completely dispelled the arrogance of the tank soldiers, looking at the army that has regained self-confidence, as well as the armored troops that have faced up to this exercise, Zhang Xiaozhun continued to announce the order, in the next time, the three divisions of the army, will become the tank cooperation troops, and the tanks will start joint training, increase mutual familiarity, and also let the armored forces have a stronger ability to attack fortifications.

It's not that Yang Yuanzhao doesn't want to get it out, similar to the German blitzkrieg in World War II, the price of tanks is a little high, after continuous efforts in the northwest, the future can also form up to 1 armored group army and 2 motorized infantry group armies, at most about 500,000, clustering is the future development direction, but under the cover of tanks, the army charge is the best means to destroy the opponent's barbed wire and trenches, which no one can replace.

Zhang Xiaozhun is still in the deserted Gobi, training more than 80,000 soldiers, and in the next month, more than 30 subjects will be trained to enhance the cooperation between the ordinary army and the armored forces.

Tanks appeared, relative anti-tank weapons must also appear, in the Yinshan base, some of the original forward-looking research, homeopathic has become a fixed project, anti-tank guns, individual rocket artillery, anti-tank grenades and so on, for tanks, the frontal armor is strong, but the track is a difficult aspect to solve, even if it is all-steel, compared with the mean steel plate, there is a big difference, when a certain degree of explosives, aimed at the track hand, it is easy to break the track into two ends, in this way, After the tank can't move, no matter how well it is protected, how can it hold on.

With a certain degree of the army, the tank is used as the guide to directly impact the enemy's position, and the army is used to protect the tank, which has a strong cleaning effect on the individual soldiers attacking the tank, which is the combination of the two, that is, the strong protection of the tank, and the advantage of manpower, which is the best choice in the current situation of inability to fully motorize and armor.

The drill of armor and infantry is just a part of the military exercises recently held in the northwest, similar to such as infantry and artillery coordination, air-ground integration, rapid response of large-caliber artillery, and the integration of forward aiming, etc., in just one month, in a number of uninhabited areas and exercise sites in the northwest, staged in a number of arms and even part of the air force's exercises, so that the Northwest Army almost explored its own home, it turned out to be only a niche, a small range of weapons and equipment. The real situation in front of everyone, the final changes and sparks that spawned, so that the northwest from an old-fashioned idea of building an army, the concept of still staying at the level of the First World War, gradually transformed into a certain prototype of World War II, and even the prototype of the later generations of warfare, in a sense, the combat effectiveness of the northwest, on the original basis, has taken a big step forward, and truly has the prototype of integration.

The changes in the army have always been under Yang Yuanzhao's control, and even in a sense, he single-handedly promoted it, and giving up played better, which once again made Yang Yuanzhao realize that he is not a professional, and professional things are still handed over to professional people to do well, and he only needs to do the most appropriate things.

Now the northwest is quite huge, coupled with the gradual penetration of the railway network, has the entire majority of China in his hands, 350 million directly controlled population, huge land area, there are too many things to deal with, but as long as you grasp the big and let go of the small, the most critical things are dealt with, and the rest, he really doesn't have to worry about it.

In the next six months to a year, the armored units will increase from the current one brigade and one regiment to the level of two divisions, and the motorized infantry will increase to seven divisions, and these will become the core and main force of the northwest in the future.

Jiang Baili, who was supposed to lead all this, did not intervene in these changes, he also took root in the Yinshan base, and he and his elite teachers, as well as the officers in the staff department who specialize in military research, a total of more than 300 people, formed a joint military team, and conducted a thorough assessment of all the projects that were being carried out in the Yinshan base.

The original project has been optimized and combined, similar projects are merged, some projects that can't see the future, or are too difficult, first put it in the past, and the first focus is the army project dealer project, which not only includes the project of the armor itself, but also includes the anti-armor project, all kinds of anti-armor guns, artillery, and even individual weapons, explosive barrels and the like, these projects, the Yinshan base to a certain extent, has a foundation and prototype, and now it is developing along this project.

The Air Force project is a project of four heavy bombers and transport planes, and even a paratrooper project has been specially opened up at the Yinshan base, and in accordance with Yang Yuanzhao's points, in-depth research has been carried out on paratroopers for special forces and rapid reaction forces, and even some plans for the construction of paratroop units have appeared.

As for the navy, it is mainly sonar, miniaturization, reliability, and fast reaction, which is a key point of the sonar project, and began to build a submarine sonar system in some important coastal areas of China, such as Qingdao and Shanghai.

In this way, unimaginable changes have taken place in the entire northwest army, and not only has the research system become more explicit, but even the results have appeared one after another, which has promoted the regularization of the entire northwest army, and science and technology, especially some new science and technology, are becoming more and more important to the combat effectiveness of the northwest army.
