Chapter 33: The Battle of Madrid (3)
Words written before the editor:
I saw some interesting Q&A today:-
ammoexplosionrippingofftheturrettanksdependstheremainingamountammunitiontherack–therenone,therenothingexplode
Ammunition explosion turret fly-off depends on the amount of ammo remaining - if there are no shells in the ammo rack, it will not explode.
This is very hard to look at.,Storm (the recent Q&A doesn't seem to have much to do with Serb's bald head)'s explanation,That is, even if there is even one shell left,Running him may be blown away......
Well, what if the nurse ...... Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm used to it, it should be said that it's the Tiger, there is only one 75mm armor-piercing bullet left, Storm, are you sure that gadget is enough to blow up the turret of the Tiger full body?
Even if you add the kinetic energy of the shell that broke through the ammunition rack......
Hey, hey, it's a matter of opinion-
newww.xstxt.orgoved)everypatch
With each release, new historical model gameplay is added (removed).
Please allow Ben Wolf to say that WG is not afraid that the historical war will become like a national war, and a version will become a game mode of floating clouds???
Anyway, according to Ben Wolf's idea, those who are really playing this game will not have any opinions, but because they like tanks. People who like this way of playing will also be hung up and can't take care of themselves.
As Ben Wolf said before, it's true that the game is a good game, but many things are absolutely unsatisfactory.
It's like sometimes deliberately stuck in the eye position to provide a group of teammates with a chance to have a black gun, but the hang-up, most of the living ones are not even black guns, and in the end, they can only fire one or two shots under the approach of n enemies. Then go back to the garage...... (50 meters are forced to light up, and you have a chance to fire a second shot before that.) Of course, this is not to say the cartridge car. )
Don't you feel like your blood is churning?
Finally, a word about it. If you want to do it yourself, go to the grass with the mirror. It's better not to pretend. Because after the N lessons of this wolf, although the camera will be stuck, you can still see how many obstacles there are between the two sides, so that you can better judge whether you should fire or not.
Below is the text.
……………………………………………… Body line................................................
Historically, war has been a terrible disaster for many people who have no experience at all.
This is the case. The same applies to these "defensive" units, most of which are not even militias, and are used as cannon fodder on the battlefield by the Spanish Republic.
As the shells exploded among those who still didn't know how to hide, the heat of death and the fragments fluttered on the ground. In addition to the constant rumbling explosions, there were all kinds of screams.
And what rose up was not only the smoke of the pillar of fire, but also the various body fragments of these people, and the blood was flying.
And those young men, except for the one named Husuo, were a certain distance from the explosion area of a 155mm high-explosive bomb, and the flight path of the fragments of the shell was blocked by others, making him almost unscathed in the first wave of shelling.
However, he was stunned by the sight in front of him, because although the other partner did not lose his life, a large hole in the neck was cut by metal fragments that was constantly gushing blood, and his face, before this partner fell to the ground, was splashed with blood lines......
As for the others......
They are all dead, and in many senses, he is a lucky man who has temporarily escaped the sight of death.
This scene happened in many areas of this position, and a similar situation happened.
After all, this unit, the people who gathered together, knew each other.
However, when this scene appeared, the lucky guy who survived had no idea what to do.
They didn't make a judgment for their partner, they didn't think about whether they should hide in a safer place, and they didn't think that the second wave of shelling, just a few seconds later, would fall again one after another.
However, they are also worthy of rejoicing, that is, Zhang Shixin's artillery unit, except for a few misses, the shells fired basically did not fall near the same position.
Therefore, for those who are still at a loss, Zhang Shixin's artillery unit is not without good deeds.
In a crater, two shells will not fall, this situation is not an absolutely impossible thing for Zhang Shixin's summoner artillery, but a relatively very small probability thing.
This means that no two shells will fall in a crater, meaning that the gun will not make repeated positional strikes against a small target. This concept is a joke for Zhang Shixin's artillery.
If there is a target of considerable value, for example, it is the location of the senior officer who has been determined, and dozens of artillery pieces are open with Eagle Eye, and several rounds of artillery shelling are directly carried out, it is estimated that in addition to the permanent fortifications that can resist the shelling or the defense system that is too strong, otherwise, the opponent's ten ** will be blown into a state where it is difficult to find all the "parts".
Of course, this matter is quite a wasteful tactic for Zhang Shixin. Because, unless it is a person who can directly determine the outcome of a war, this is more of a waste of shells, and also a waste of other areas that need more support.
Zhang Shixin customized three battle guidelines for his artillery units:
First, if there are no special circumstances, the artillery units should give priority to striking at the enemy who is close to the enemy.
Second: based on the principle of priority of armored forces, artillery gives priority to striking at the enemy's armored forces in the case of a small difference in distance. Artillery, on the other hand, with insufficient artillery power, gives priority to attacking the enemy's infantry and creating chaos.
Thirdly: in cases where it is not necessary to set fires. Artillery units give priority to dispersion strikes against enemy troops.
The combat criteria of these three artillery units are the experience summed up by Zhang Shixin after many battles.
In fact, after the promulgation of these three combat guidelines, the ammunition consumption of Zhang Shixin's artillery unit was a little less than before, but the combat efficiency had increased significantly.
Of course, this is more of a feat that can be achieved within the effective range of Hawkeye's ability.
As for the need to rely on coordinates for blind shooting...... Or how to fight, how to fight. The same number of shells hit as many as they wanted......
Because there is no correction of the Eagle Eye skill. Artillery units are more likely to be able to use saturation shelling as much as possible to bring great damage and damage to the enemy as much as possible.
……
The BF-109HS, which is constantly circling in the air, can only roughly see the relatively dense crowd targets on the ground, so for some scattered enemies. There is no such thing as a single summoner that can recognize the display of enemy targets on the tactical map.
So. When the Hawkeye view of the artillery no longer shows the target (although it is quite possible that there are still enemies alive in the area). The gunner's goal is to move to another area.
In this case, the summoning artillery unit is not very good for the combat efficiency of the infantry.
Because there are a lot of fish that slip through the net.
But for such combat efficiency, Zhang Shixin is also very clear, compared to the previous situation where there was no aerial reconnaissance. It's already a big improvement.
After all, although the ground reconnaissance system can see more clearly at a distance of about a kilometer or even a little farther, this is a rather dangerous reconnaissance method.
Without fully grasping the dynamics of the battlefield. Zhang Shixin generally doesn't choose this way now, although it seems to be more effective.
And when it is time to dispatch ground reconnaissance troops, it is often the time to enter into ground warfare.
After nearly 15 minutes of shelling, Zhang Shixin ordered the self-propelled artillery formation to continue to maintain the situation of shelling, and when the troops entered the combat area, the self-propelled artillery units were free to provide fire support.
Zhang Shixin used to protect the self-propelled artillery formations this time was mainly T40 tank destroyers. After all, street fighting in the city of Madrid, the defense of these things is not even better than that of an armored car.
Because sometimes, once these T40s appear in the enemy's control area for various reasons, a piece of the opponent's infantry, a few grenades flying out of the window, is enough to reimburse the T40 tank destroyer in the category of high-value combat weapons at this time.
Zhang Shixin didn't plan to let his subordinates do such stupid things.
Therefore, their existence had to become the "escort" of self-propelled artillery units.
According to Zhang Shixin's idea, using a caravan to fight in the street is undoubtedly one of the best means to pit teammates.
This time, the general offensive was mainly launched by Crusader cruiser tanks and M6 heavy tanks, supplemented by a large number of Bishop self-propelled mortars.
After all, the range of this thing is really too short, and it is much better to use it as an assault gun than to be blind.
As for the rest of the troops, there are armored convoys with a large number of infantry and logistical supply convoys.
So, after rolling up the smoke and dust at a distance of two kilometers or even more, which even a blind person can see quite clearly, Zhang Shixin's troops officially launched an offensive towards Madrid.
……
It is impossible to completely destroy even a rather rudimentary defensive system by relying on artillery alone, because artillery is not omnipotent.
However, after Zhang Shixin sent a telegram from the front-line troops, he found that this theorem seemed to be something that should be added, which varies from person to person.
The first assault formation on the front line did not encounter resistance, but encountered a resistance that did not threaten at all, or even could not be called organized.
The enemy used rather old weapons, including the more primitive versions of the Maxim heavy machine gun, to fire at the M6 heavy tank.
Although there are quite a lot of weaknesses on the front of the M6, Zhang Shixin thinks that from a distance of a few hundred meters, using this thing to hit weaknesses such as observation holes. This is an unreliable thing, the Type 38 rifle is more accurate than the machine gun......
Moreover, in this world, as long as the regular army is well aware of one thing, that is, the simple infantry encounters a large number of "water tanks", and without effective fire support, they either surrender or simply run away.
Because a large number of tanks can directly roll over an infantry defense area. Maybe it's quite easy and hassle-free.
There are some things that can not be achieved by piling up human lives.
War is not an anti-Japanese drama, and it is not like propaganda and games, where a tank holding an explosives bag is straight and motionless, stupidly standing in place to get you close.
Let's not talk about the machine guns of the guards. It was a large number of armored vehicles behind these tanks, and the soldiers who constantly followed behind the armored vehicles of the tanks. It's enough to send people who want to do it to hell......
After all. Hundreds of guns of all kinds can't hit you, are you really thinking that you are superman?
Therefore, some of the enemies who still had the courage to fight took a few detonators and hid in the bodies that were already lying on the ground, mutilated. Potholed trenches are hidden, ready to find an opportunity to strike at approaching tanks.
However, he simply could not imagine. Behind these tanks, instead of a herd of pigs, a group of summoners armed to the teeth.
Many people leaned out of their hiding places before they could run a few steps before they were dropped to the ground by dozens of bullets.
Among them, a middle-aged man with some words on the epaulette and a fedora on his head felt all kinds of pain coming from his body, and also saw several soldiers quickly hide their bodies behind the tank that was still "wriggling" after shooting.
He knew that these people weren't supposed to be here at all, doing something like this. Because between them and their opponents, they are not essentially a level that can be compared.
Is there a contrast between the elite troops and the "army", which is not even a militia unit?
He couldn't help but think of his parents, his family, his friends, and ...... before his consciousness sank into darkness forever
……
There is a rather serious flaw in the coordination of infantry and tanks, that is, when attacking, the speed of the tank should generally not be too fast, otherwise, the tank that advances too fast can easily throw off the infantry guarding them, and then fall into danger.
So, in a sense, Butan synergy and Blitzkrieg are two conflicting concepts.
However, the blitzkrieg in Barbarossa is because of the rapid assault of the armored forces, which leads to serious shortcomings in the comparison of forces and arms, so there is a view that blitzkrieg is actually not a better tactic.
Guderian, Hoppner and other commanders of the German armored forces suffered a lot during this period because of the enemy's use of infantry and tank coordination and armored ambush tactics......
Their infantry troops, on the road more than fifty kilometers behind them, panted and groaned and complained: "Those who run fast, run slower will die!" Falk Squid !! (The Germans had always been quite short of vehicles, and most of the infantry units had to be transported by rail and then on foot to the area of engagement.) Only those who are lucky will have a convoy to carry them to the front line. )
As for why Blitzkrieg overtook infantry coordination at that time and became the mainstream of armored tactics......
The Germans had too much to eat in the French campaign......
Of course, Dunkirk was not in fact a subjective mistake, but it is possible that the Germans made such a decision because of the lack of army forces in the nearby area, and the storming of Dunkirk might not be a result of stealing chickens and rice.
After all, if the army in Dunkirk, supported by various large-caliber naval guns provided by the British Royal Fleet, even if the army did nothing, it would be enough to inflict heavy casualties on the small number of German troops.
Moreover, just a few divisions were able to storm Dunkirk, and the commanders of the normal point did not have such a big delusion.
Therefore, the Germans did not realize that the strategic effect of the blitzkrieg was indeed not possessed by the infantry-Tan coordination, but the infantry-Tan coordination tactics completely defeated the blitzkrieg at the tactical level.
After all, it is the consensus of many commanders that the troops coordinated by infantry and tanks are more difficult to deal with and fight than simple armored troops.
Zhang Shixin does not follow the blitzkrieg set, but he uses the fusion system between the step-tan coordination and the blitzkrieg.
That is to say, the troops must be fully mechanized, which will greatly enhance the troops' ability to move in non-war times.
But well...... Zhang Shixin still has no way to "restrain the defects of Butan coordination".
Because, in terms of the overall attack speed, it is only two kilometers per hour, which can be said to be a turtle-like speed.
However, Zhang Shixin had no choice, after all, he didn't want to be the first person to score in Madrid. Because it's not good for him at all. (To be continued......)
