In the vast Ukrainian wilderness, in a sparse forest on the north bank of the South Bug River, Major Zhou Shuren, a third-class military attache in Germany, used a stump the size of a washbasin as a writing desk, and the pen in his hand danced quickly on the thick notebook. www.)

“…… Taking the armored brigade as an example, the basic combat strength is the second tank battalion, the first mobile infantry battalion, and the first mobile artillery battalion. ”

"The establishment of the chariot battalion is to follow the 1915 establishment that has been eliminated by our army, with one row of chariots directly under the battalion headquarters, three companies under its jurisdiction, two chariots directly under the headquarters of each company, three platoons under its jurisdiction, three chariots per platoon, 11 chariots for the whole company, and a total of 36 chariots in the whole battalion."

"However, the chariot company is very different from ours, and each company of our army is equipped with the same type of chariot, while the other is a mixture of machine-gun chariots and light chariots equipped with artillery. Its company directly administers one machine gun chariot and one light chariot, each platoon has a light chariot as the platoon leader, and the other two vehicles are machine gun chariots, and the whole company has four light chariots and seven machine gun chariots. ”

"The tank platoon directly under the battalion headquarters is equipped with two light tanks and one machine-gun tank, and the battalion has a total of 14 light tanks and 22 machine-gun vehicles. In addition, the brigade has a platoon of chariots directly under the brigade, and is equipped with a platoon directly under the battalion headquarters, so the total number of chariots in the brigade is 75, including 30 light chariots and 45 machine-gun chariots. ”

"As for the equipment of the armored corps......"

Writing this, Zhou Shuren stopped his pen slightly, twisted his sore wrist, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an ironclad chariot sprayed with black iron crosses, scattered among the shadows of the trees, and could not be seen at a glance.

"I just want to drink coffee and read novels in a café anywhere and get paid, and God must be punishing me for it—either throwing me to Turkey to fly a plane and jump into the sea, or throwing me to the Ukrainian steppes to ride a horse and grind my ass, and in order to mingle with the revolutionary exiles in Switzerland, I have to make up for this and that classic of this doctrine, and what does it matter to me that damn Romanian army cannons with black powder......"

Looking back on the past few months, it has been a life of displacement. Zhou Shuren couldn't help but gallop a small group of grass and mud horses in his heart, but when he saw the time on his watch, he still hurried up and continued to write.

“…… The machine-gun chariot is mainly an imitation of our army's Jiehu type, and is named the No. 3 Fox four-ton machine gun chariot. Equipped with its own 7.92 caliber water-cooled heavy machine gun. ”

"The light tank is mainly an imitation of our army's flying wolf type, and it is named the No. 4 wolf six-ton light tank and is equipped with its self-produced Krupp 37 caliber short-barreled cannon and water-cooled machine gun."

"Some of the companies are still equipped with the No. 1 Leopard nine-ton machine gun combat vehicle and the No. 2 Cheetah nine-ton light tank designed by the Germans. Both use the same chassis in front of the power compartment, but the former uses a rotating turret to mount a machine gun; The latter is equipped with a Krupp 37 caliber short-barreled cannon in the form of a fixed gun profile, and a machine gun is installed on the left hatch of the body......"

"Compared with the imitation of the third and fourth of our army, the armor plates of the first and second are slightly thicker. However, the thickest part is only 14 or 5 centimeters; And the lack of shock absorption measures in the mobile device, the field travel is bumpy and violent, even if the road is driving, the maximum speed is only 14 or 5 kilometers per hour, less than half of the former, it is difficult to use it together, so it is mostly equipped with ** battalions and companies outside the armored brigade. ”

"From No. 1 to No. 4, the biggest difference between the German army and our army's front-line combat vehicles. Compared with our army's deployment of radio stations to platoon commanders, the tactical command of the German tank company and below relied entirely on flag language and gestures. The battalion and company relied on motorcycle messengers until the battalion headquarters was equipped with a radio station, so the flexibility of organization and use and coordination of arms was much less than mine. ”

"The motorized infantry battalion and mobile artillery battalion of the armored brigade still use trucks as the basic means of transport, and the models are complicated and the maintenance is inconvenient. It is rumored that the German side has already successfully copied the camel-type half-track personnel carrier, which is rare here, and most of them are used as command vehicles at the battalion headquarters and brigade headquarters, and there are few people dedicated to transporting troops and artillery."

"As for the reconnaissance company directly under the armored brigade, it is mainly equipped with wheeled armored vehicles. Supplemented by two-wheeled motorcycles and motorcycles with trailers. Specifically, the company directly administers two armored vehicles, three armored vehicles and one motorcycle platoon, with a total of 14 armored vehicles and several motorcycles. ”

Zhou Shuren stopped his pen, shook his hand, and thought in his heart about the second lieutenant Carl Dönitz who had a life-and-death relationship in Turkey.

"Such a good young man in Germany who loves the best female nurses. Have you gone to sea in a submarine now? I heard that the loss rate of the German Navy's U-boats has been rising recently, and I hope that he will be blessed with a great life, and we will have the fate to meet him again...... That's it, let's take care of ourselves first, I don't know if this errand is bad or good for now......"

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuren sighed half helplessly and half worriedly, and continued with his pen:

"The purpose of this interspersed operation, codenamed Iron Fist, is to outflank the rear of the Russian heavy army group on the Dniester side, and then cooperate with the follow-up infantry units to annihilate it."

"To this end, a mixed force called the Malvetz cluster was specially formed, with the cavalry lieutenant general Malvetz as the commander, and the cluster was based on three cavalry divisions and two armored brigades, and strengthened a number of ** units such as armor, artillery, engineers, communications troops, and railway troops, with an estimated total strength of no more than 20,000, no more than 200 combat vehicles, more than 100 armored vehicles, 50 or 60 cannons, and ......a number of infantry guns, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns, mortars, etc."

"The main forces of the cluster are now gathered around the city of Vinnitsa on the South Bug River, and the plan is planned to be spread out between the South Bug River and the Dniester River, with the railway line from Vinnytsia to Odessa as the axis, to launch a surprise attack in the general direction of Odessa, all the way to seize the main bridges and ferries on the Dniester River, until all the main lines of communication of the Russian army west of the river are cut off......"

"Major, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the question of Captain Guderian, the intelligence officer of the cluster command, Zhou Shuren subconsciously shook his hand, and the pen drew a diagonal line on the innocent notebook.

"I'm ...... Keep a journal. ”

Zhou Shuren squeezed out a smile that was as natural as possible, and closed the notebook neatly as he turned around.

"Can I take a look?"

Guderian held out his hand with a grin.

"Of course not, there are some of my ulterior ** in this."

Zhou Shuren smiled very innocently.

"For example?"

Guderian was unmoved.

Zhou Shuren's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "For example, how to deal with the relationship between the wife and two lovers in the family, especially if one of the lovers is still a foreigner." ”

"Is it German?"

Guderian looked curious.

Zhou Shuren smiled and said nothing.

Guderian nodded ignorantly: "Well, I can't read Chinese...... anyway"

The small group of grass and mud horses in Zhou Shuren's heart passed by forcefully again.

Of course, Guderian couldn't understand the other party's mood, and raised his chin slightly: "I'm here to inform you that the troops will be drawn tomorrow morning, and General Malvetz wants you to follow me, you will go wherever I go, and you are not allowed to appear where I am not there, do you understand?" ”

Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, Zhou Shuren stretched out a hand of friendship to Guderian: "Understood, I hope we can cooperate happily." ”

Guderian glanced at Zhou Shuren's hand and saluted him expressionlessly.

"Major, follow me."

Zhou Shuren returned the salute while thinking in his heart: "Carl is still cute, this guy must not like **......" to be continued......)
