Many people have seen the scene of cavalry groups launching a charge, especially in the era of cold weapons, cavalry is almost synonymous with invincibility. After the invention of the tank in the twentieth century, especially after the tanks were concentrated and used on a large scale, the tank cluster became unstoppable like the cavalry of the cold weapon age.

After research, Su Tong found that there were actually two offensive modes of armored forces, one was a rapid attack represented by Germany, with tanks as the lead, under the cover of aircraft, quickly rushing into the enemy's position to disrupt the enemy's defensive deployment, and then the infantry followed behind to occupy the position.

One is a steady and steady offensive represented by the United States, which is to use tanks as a barrier to cover the infantry to eliminate the enemy's firepower one by one, and if it encounters the enemy's fierce artillery counterattack, it should immediately call for air support or artillery fire support to destroy the enemy's artillery fire one by one, and then steadily occupy the enemy's position.

The former is to carry out a large-scale maneuver at the fastest speed, outflank the enemy with a pincer offensive, and make the enemy lose the courage and confidence to resist, so as to win the war, and the disadvantage is that the casualties may be too large.

The latter is to make full use of the protective advantages of the tank plus the cooperation of infantry and the support of powerful artillery fire to gradually destroy the enemy or break the enemy's will to resist, and finally achieve victory, this style of play is slower, when the casualties are relatively small.

The direct result of these two different ways of playing is that the German infantry divisions are pure infantry and will not have extra armored forces, while the American infantry divisions are all crawling on the ground.

Therefore, in the 101st Division, the choice of how to fight has become the preferred topic of choice for officers.

Now that the exercise observation department was crowded with almost all the military commanders of the 37th Route Army except for those who participated in the exercise, Wang Dayong stabbed Hu Lian with his hand, an upstart in the army who had just been appointed as the commander of the garrison brigade: "Brother Hu, do you think that Lao Wang can withstand Sun Liren's attack?" I think it's okay for the top three or two days, after all, such a dense group of pillboxes and firepower points will be replaced, and it would be good if other divisions were not eaten by Wang Li. ”

Hu Lian said suspiciously: "But I always feel that it's not so simple, if the power of the armored division is like this, it is not worth spending so much effort to build it." ”

Because the training of Sun Liren's armored division was carried out separately, and it was also extremely unfamiliar to other troops, it was difficult for others to judge the power of the armored division.

When the signal flares for the start of the exercise were launched, the three tank regiments of the 101st Division, with one regiment as the vanguard, the second and third regiments formed an arrow in the flank, the infantry followed closely in armored personnel carriers, and the self-propelled artillery regiment cleared the way for the tanks with artillery fire in the rear.

This is a standard tactic that focuses on a point and uses follow-up troops to continue to expand the results of the battle after tearing through the breach.

Objectively speaking, this tactic is very sharp, and to resist this tactic, it is usually necessary to use a large depth of ladder-shaped defense to resist, just like the old Maozi did in later generations.

However, the defense line laid by the 103rd Division led by Wang Li was only a few hundred meters deep, and the troops were all walking on the wide positions.

Therefore, Sun Liren's 101st Division passed through the three lines of defense of the 103rd Division as easily as a red-hot soldering iron.

This caught the 102nd Division, which was about to encircle from both sides, by surprise, and could only watch Sun Liren tear the 103rd Division's defense line to pieces, and then march away. The whole process took only an hour, and the results surprised the officers of the director's department.

When Jiang Baili and the staff officers of the military headquarters were watching the defense line of the 103rd Division yesterday, they unanimously believed that they could resist the attack of the 101st Armored Division for at least two to three days, but in fact they could not support it for even an hour.

Under the rapid attack of the armored division, the 103rd Division lacked basic anti-tank weapons, and those dense machine-gun fire hit the tanks only to tickle them, and in the end they could only watch the tanks roll call pillboxes and firepower one by one.

After that, the infantry arrived at the front of the position on the SDKFZ251 armored transport vehicle and got off the vehicle to eliminate the infantry on the position.

Seeing that the defense line that he had high hopes for was pierced like tissue paper, he was slapped in the face in front of the officers up and down the whole army. This made Wang Li's face very ugly, and his face was clear for a while, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

Seeing that his purpose of holding this exercise had been achieved, Senior General Su looked at the officers in the room full of officers around him and said lightly: "Now make a summary first, and tomorrow everyone will go to the headquarters for a meeting." ”

I thought that the vigorous exercise was over, but the end time was so fast that people were stunned, that is, an infantry division was defeated after a banquet. This greatly shocked the officers who predicted before the exercise that Sun Liren would fall into a bitter battle, because such a battle formation pattern was unheard of and unseen for them.

Under the mighty attack of hundreds of tanks, anything that stands in their way will be torn to shreds, which also makes the officers who have always thought that they are the best in the world for some time now. The world's weaponry and military revolution are developing rapidly, and if we cling to the old set of concepts, we will inevitably fall into death.

The first to recover was Jiang Baili, chief of staff of the army, and after watching the exercise, he immediately realized what kind of impact this mode of war would bring to the world. He will be a revolution that will go down in the history of human military development, and the world will also change because of this thing called a tank.

Jiang Baili finally understood why Su Tong insisted on establishing such an armored division despite the opposition of himself and a group of officers, this was a unit with an experimental surname, and he would be the whetstone for the other units of the 37th Army.

As long as the troops that have been baptized by these tank groups will have a qualitative development in terms of combat effectiveness. There will even be a second and third armored corps, and at that time, the 37th Army will have no opponent in China.

"Alas" sighed softly, Jiang Baili looked at the officers in front of him and said, "After today's exercise, do you understand the meaning of modern warfare that the military seat said?" You always have the idea that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and this kind of thinking will kill you. Be! Since the beginning of this year, the military seat has added machine guns, artillery and other weapons and equipment to you, but what about you? Not only did they not study the new tactics well, but the new tactics only knew that they complained that the military seat favored the armored divisions, and the training of the troops also reduced in intensity, becoming more and more like a showmanship. ”

After a pause, Jiang Baili raised his voice an octave: "Look, look, a fully equipped infantry division can't hold out for even an hour, and it's been beaten by people." Some soldiers were so frightened when they saw the tank that they turned around and ran, shame, shame! ”

Wang Li's head was almost hanging down in the crotch of his pants in front of the old principal.

"Okay, I won't talk about you today, you go back and sit down the battle summary first. When I have a meeting tomorrow, I would like to see suggestions or ideas for the construction of the surname. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Baili left without looking back.

It seems that I can't get the ticket for the change of the wind and dust 0 ronin children's shoes, but Ah Ding is still cheeky to ask for other tickets, God, let the tickets come more violently.
