Borgia is surrounded by mountains, and the town of Borja is located in a plain and hilly area, typical of the steppe style, but the area of the plain is relatively small, basically unable to station too many troops, and it is surrounded by mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the mountains are not high, the area of the plains is not suitable for large corps, especially large-scale operations of armored forces.

One after another high protruding small earthen bags, blocking the tank's line of sight, blocking the tank artillery's firing range, but conducive to the Russian artillery to carry out covered bombing, once the Russian army locks the movement of the tank troops in advance and carries out indiscriminate attacks on the area where the tank troops are located, then the losses of the tank troops will be heavy.

Jia Sihuan is wearing a heavy cotton coat with a white cloth that is enough to cover his whole body, if he is placed in his hometown, he will not wear it like this, even if he is killed, because only when he does white things, the younger generations will wear it like this, to put it bluntly, this is a piece of filial piety, but here, Jia Sihuan has to wear it like this, the white shawl can make him blend with this ice and snow, only by dressing up like this can he get closer to Borja without being discovered by the Russian army.

As a member of the armored reconnaissance group, Jia Sihuan had no other choice, and after receiving the order, Jia Sihuan could only lead his armored reconnaissance vehicle to this area for reconnaissance.

To be honest, he does not propose to hold a decisive battle here, unless they can knock out the artillery positions of the Russian army first, clearing the way for tank units.

But this is obviously unlikely, now is not the next generation, and the environment is not yet polluted, so Jia Sihuan, who is lying on a small plateau, can easily see the situation a few kilometers away with the help of a telescope. Although it was not clear what he could see, at least he could be sure that there was a garrison there.

A group of Russian troops was slowly walking towards the small hill where Jia Sihuan was, apparently not in a hurry, and when there were still about two kilometers away from Jia Sihuan, Jia Sihuan quietly left this temporary shelter.

Along the way, without any obstacles, he returned to the armored reconnaissance vehicle hidden under the dirt slope, and the driver quickly started the reconnaissance vehicle and returned directly to the rear.

Jia Sihuan's reconnaissance mission has been completed, and next, he needs to gather the information here, and then report it, waiting for orders from the top.

Taking off the gloves that were not too thick, Jia Sihuan put his hands directly on the protrusion at the bottom of the car, which was where the engine of the armored reconnaissance vehicle was located, just like the van in the early generations, behind the driver and co-pilot, but because the armored reconnaissance vehicle shortened the distance, the small iron bag with the protrusion was located a little further back between the two, and he put his two hands on it sideways.

Because the reconnaissance car did not turn off, the temperature there was not bad, and in just a minute or so, Jia Sihuan felt that his hands had regained consciousness, and that feeling was very refreshing, and he finally felt a little like a person, although it was very inappropriate to describe it like this, but the fact was that when they were outside, they even felt that they were going to die.

The temperature on the hands is restored, plus the inside of the car is closed, there is also a glass in front of the driver's seat to isolate it from the outside world, and the residual temperature of the engine is transmitted into the cab, the temperature inside the car is much higher than outside.

Jia Sihuan took out a small notebook and a pen from the car, and recorded the situation he had detected on them somewhat unsmoothly.

Of course, the reason why he is not fluent in writing is not because Jia Sihuan is not very good at writing, but because his hands have not completely recovered, and now he can barely pick up a pen at most.

"How's it going?" The driver asked as he drove the reconnaissance vehicle, which quickly ran towards the location of the large troops.

The narrow line of sight is not a problem for him, although it was really uncomfortable at the beginning, but after getting used to it, he found that it was actually the same thing, and now there are not too many vehicles, and it is slower in the crowd, and the army also knows that the sight of this car is not very good, so when everyone sees it, they are automatically far away, unless he stops, no one wants to approach.

"The Russians are indeed going to gather here, and I don't see the shadow of Borgia City, but there are at least nearly 10,000 soldiers in the nearby suburbs, and these soldiers seem to have just arrived, and they have no intention of camping, and they should be redeployed. In addition, I saw the artillery of the Russians, about a hundred or so guns, which were not arranged like traditional artillery positions, but were divided into several areas, arranged side by side in a row, surrounded by a large amount of frozen soil, and the muzzles were almost parallel, probably drawing on the experience of yesterday's battle, and planning to use these guns against our tanks. Jia Sihuan said as he wrote the record.

Because there was no specific map, Jia Sihuan could only roughly estimate his location, and then centered on himself, drew a simple sketch in his notebook, and made annotations at the bottom of the sketch.

"That being said, this battle is not good for us." The driver said with a frown.

Using artillery to fight tanks is the only way to compete with tanks at present, and as for the other method, although it is more reliable than artillery to fight tanks, it is the most unreliable way in the current environment.

Of course, if they had the digging machinery, then they could take the second way, which was to dig a deep pit, and then block it with sticks and branches, and then cover the top layer with snow to make a trench like a trap, and when the tank passed, it would sink directly into it.

It's not practical to take out tanks this way, but it can make it impossible for the trapped tanks to participate in the war, and if they're lucky, they can even capture some of them.

But this is the tundra, and it's not reliable to dig a hole at all, so, well, that's it, the Russians can only learn from yesterday, using artillery to attack tanks.

But this does not seem to be an easy thing either, the larger the caliber of the artillery, the more requirements for flat fire, and most of the Russian artillery does not support flat fire at all, before World War I, which country supported flat fire of artillery? Isn't it possible to use artillery as a machine gun?

In fact, although the Russians have deployed hundreds of artillery pieces here, there are not many of them that are really threatening, and most of them are even placed at negative elevation angles. It is to the rear of the gun and lay the barrel as flat as possible, so that not to mention the hit rate, if it is not good, the main artillery will run away after a shot.

But Jia Sihuan didn't know the specific situation of the Russian army, he only saw that there were so many artillery pieces, and so many Russian troops were being deployed.

"Indeed, if we can't solve the Russian artillery, our tanks will be very passive, and our advantage is the tank, once the tank cannot take the advantage, then the casualties of the infantry will be very serious." Jia Sihuan nodded.

It was nothing before, but through yesterday's battle, coupled with the reconnaissance just now, Jia Sihuan felt more and more that it seemed that the armored forces should also be equipped with an artillery unit, at least a regiment of artillery, and it must be heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm.

In this case, as soon as the enemy artillery is encountered, then the own artillery immediately attacks the enemy artillery, removing all obstacles for the tank, and to be honest, using the tank to attack the enemy's artillery position is not a very good choice, or even a very stupid choice.

But this is a loophole in the establishment, large-caliber artillery units, all have been organized into artillery units, even infantry, most of them are equipped with only 75 mm caliber infantry guns, mainly used for infantry support type combat, if you want to suppress firepower, you have to rely on artillery units.

Jia Sihuan is very high and doesn't understand, why is it arranged like this? What's so good about this kind of organization? Besides, in battle, don't the artillery still have to be temporarily under the command of the participating troops? One unit has two sets of leading groups, will there be no problems after a long time?

Well, there will indeed be problems after a long time, but the people below don't know the true meaning of Wang Sirui's move. In the beginning, even 75 mm caliber infantry guns were under the jurisdiction of artillery units, because the number of artillery in the army was too small, so in order to train artillery, it was only possible to do so.

Over the years, have artillery units been armed with artillery of a caliber of less than 100 mm? And those 75 infantry guns that were eliminated, didn't they all give to the infantry?

In Wang Sirui's plan, the artillery unit should actually be a strategic artillery unit, and the entire army will be equipped with a small number of 120 mm artillery, which will be dominated by 150 mm and 205 mm caliber heavy artillery, that is to say, the current artillery unit will gradually be transformed into a heavy artillery unit in the future, forming a unified strategic force, and artillery below 120 caliber will be gradually delegated to each unit itself, of course, there are also those well-trained artillery.

The unified training of artillery is much more effective than the training of the units themselves, after all, all units are mainly infantry, and there are few artillery at all, who understands artillery?

"Hey, I hope the Sixth Army will come with artillery, in case there is no artillery, this battle will not be easy to fight." The driver sighed helplessly, he has been a scout all year round, and it is still easy to see through this problem, without the slightest difficulty.

"That's not our business, our task is to report the situation we have detected, and let the above consider it for themselves, as long as we don't miss any information." Jia Sihuan was a little helpless. (To be continued.) )
