"Have the Yankee tanks arrived?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned for a moment after receiving the news. His eyes widened suddenly, and his face was full of surprise. But in an instant, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was unconcealable joy in his smile. Obviously, he has been eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the tank, and he has been looking forward to it for a long time. According to the reorganization order, his army will have two to three armored divisions. This was originally a very exciting thing. I thought that once the armored divisions are formed, the combat effectiveness of the army will not only increase, but also on the battlefield. I feel more confident. result? After waiting for more than half a month, nothing came. There was not even a shadow of a tank. It was as if this matter had been forgotten, but Cun Yunsheng was very anxious. If he hadn't captured an Italian armored division before, I'm afraid his current troops would still be all infantry. He relies on infantry to fight. In this modern war, it is always a little inadequate, especially when facing the enemy's armored forces. time, the disadvantage becomes even more obvious. However, Cun Yunsheng despised the Italian tanks from the bottom of his heart and felt that they were too stretched. In fact, the Italian tanks were not as bad as he thought. The initial tanks did have many problems and their performance was somewhat unsatisfactory. However, after the introduction of German tank technology, they were improved a lot. There has been some improvement in all aspects. But Cun Yunsheng still felt that the situation was not good, and he always looked down upon it. In his heart, he was looking forward to having American tanks to equip his troops. So he had been busy during this period, and kept sending telegrams to Stilwell, which meant he kept urging, asking when the tanks would be delivered, and his words were full of urgency. Stilwell was pushed so hard that he had no choice but to use various connections and finally expedited the delivery of a batch of tanks. Now, when the tanks arrived, Cun Yunsheng felt so happy, as if he had seen the majesty of his troops driving these brand-new tanks on the battlefield. According to Cun Yunsheng's intention, these tanks that were finally expected to be obtained will naturally be used intensively. He already had his own plans in mind, because he was ready to change his tactics. In his opinion, the previous playing methods were no longer suitable for the current battlefield situation. Cun Yunsheng sneered at the tactics proposed by the US military advisers. Every time he heard those suggestions, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, feeling that these US military advisers didn't understand the art of fighting at all. Why do you say that? Because the US military adviser hoped to rely on holding the entire line of defense to block the German attack, in Cun Yunsheng's view, this was a very absurd idea. You know, the scope of the defense line is so large. If you want to defend it, how many aircraft, artillery, tanks, and even more troops will be needed. Moreover, the key problem is that even if so many weapons and personnel are concentrated on defense, the actual battle situation is that they are still defeated by the German army time and time again. Just refer to the Moroccan battlefield. When the Allied forces and the Germans fought there, they basically lost more and won less. This is the best example, which is enough to show that this blindly defensive tactic is not reliable at all. Therefore, when the US military proposed such a tactic, Cun Yunsheng refused without even thinking about it. He did not want his troops to fall into the same situation of being passively beaten. According to his logic, the best defense is offense. He firmly believes that only by taking the initiative and disrupting the deployment of the German army can we seize the initiative on the battlefield. And this is why he has always concentrated the use of tanks. He felt that as long as the tanks were gathered together to form a powerful armored division, and then the timing was right, he could use the powerful assault capabilities of the armored division to defeat the German troops on the defense line before the German reinforcements arrived. Change from passive to active, giving your troops an advantage on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the US military's war tactics at this time were too rigid and had no flexibility at all. They were always stuck to traditional, seemingly safe but actually full of loopholes, and did not know how to be flexible according to the actual battlefield conditions. This made Cun Yunsheng very helpless and could only plan and fight according to his own ideas. After listening to Cun Yunsheng's words, the US military adviser remained silent. He frowned and was thinking carefully about what Cun Yunsheng said. After all, the tactics proposed by Cun Yunsheng are indeed a big change for the current US military. It can even be said to have changed the overall combat style. It has to change from the passive defense it was used to to an active attack. This is not a simple matter, and it is no wonder that the US military advisers found it difficult to accept it for a while. In the past combat philosophy of the US military, relying on defense lines to resist enemy attacks seems to be a relatively safe approach. Although the actual battle situation is not ideal, this style of play must be completely overturned and a new, more powerful approach must be attempted. Offensive tactics require a lot of risks, so he fell into deep thought and did not respond to Cun Yunsheng immediately. However, Cun Yunsheng didn't expect the US military to accept it immediately. He thought to himself, anyway, he thought this tactic was feasible, so he would just do it according to his own ideas. When the effect was achieved, they would naturally understand it. . "So many tanks?" Hader couldn't help but take a breath as he looked at the tanks that were coming continuously. His eyes widened with a look of shock on his face. You know, at the beginning of the war, the German armored divisions could still maintain a relatively complete establishment and have a sufficient number of tanks. However, after that, they were never fully equipped. Under normal circumstances, a German armored division can have thirty or fifty tanks, which is already quite a lot. It would be simply unbelievable if it could have a full complement of more than a hundred tanks. That would be This may only happen if you are extremely lucky, or in an extremely important battle. It is precisely because of this long-term shortage of tanks that when Hader saw hundreds of tanks approaching in front of him, his mood was indeed a little depressed, as if a big stone was weighing on his heart. Heavy. He knew very well that the gap in industrial strength between the two sides was too great. Under the exhaustion of the war, the German army's industrial production could no longer keep up with the needs of the war, but the side in front of him could easily mobilize so many Tank, the contrast is too strong. "Don't be discouraged. Compared with your Tiger tank, the tank in front of you is just a toy." Cun Yunsheng seemed to see the other party's emotional loss, walked forward, patted the other party's shoulder gently and said, he wanted to use this method The words were used to comfort Colonel Hader and make him feel better. At the same time, they also emphasized that the German tanks still have great advantages in terms of performance, hoping to boost the morale of the other side. Hearing this, Hader did feel much better, and the low mood originally caused by seeing the opponent's many tanks also dissipated a lot. He still agreed with Cun Yunsheng's approval of their German tanks. After all, the German tank crews had achieved world-shocking results on the battlefield, and those glorious results are still talked about by people today. In addition to the superb combat skills of the crew members, a very important aspect of these achievements is the excellent performance of the tank itself. German tanks have unique advantages in terms of firepower, protection, and mobility. In many key battles, they relied on these advantages to turn the tide of the battle. Therefore, Hader has always been full of pride in his tanks. Affection. "Although the tank has very strong performance, it also has many criticisms." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile on his face. As soon as he said these words, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, instantly breaking the harmonious atmosphere. Hearing this, Hader suddenly became unhappy. He frowned and his face became a little gloomy. He thought to himself, how could he say this? In his mind, the German tanks were almost perfect, and he could not tolerate being belittled by others. "What? Is there something wrong with what I said? Your biggest criticism is that the production capacity is too low and the maintenance is complicated. Although the tank in front of you looks no different from a toy, there is nothing special about it." Cun Yunsheng sneered and continued He analyzed it unhurriedly, saying that he didn't care whether Hader was happy or not, he was just expressing his views on the matter. "But the most important thing is the high production capacity. It has not yet reached its peak. It is said that it can produce tens of thousands of vehicles per year. How can you compare it?" Cun Yunsheng's tone had a hint of undoubt, putting this cruel reality aside. In front of Hader. This time Hader was completely speechless. He opened his mouth and wanted to retort, but found that he could not find a suitable reason at all. Everyone knows what this means. The annual production of tens of thousands of tanks is not a small number. It means that hundreds of armored divisions can be equipped a year. Imagine that Wuyang Wuyang's tanks will be like a tide on the battlefield. Rushing over, anyone who sees that scene will feel huge pressure. It is indeed easy to collapse. This gap in industrial production capacity is really a shortcoming that the German army cannot make up for. Hader can only sigh helplessly and silently Accepted this reality. "Do you think we can hit Alexandria?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Hader in front of him, and asked seemingly casually with a smile on his face, but behind this question was his consideration for the next combat operation. . If Rommel were still alive, he would definitely answer without hesitation, dream! After all, when Rommel was here, he relied on elite troops to manage the North African defense line very firmly, making it difficult for opponents to find opportunities to break through. But the situation is different now. All the elite troops were taken to the Middle East by Rommel. Most of those who stayed in the North African Army were ordinary combat forces. Compared with before, the overall combat effectiveness has dropped a lot. There are currently no elite troops in the North African Army. It is indeed difficult to defend such an important strategic location as Alexandria. Facing the aggressive armored division in front of us, equipped with many tanks, it's really hard to say whether it can hold on. Unless you have a large number of 88mm anti-aircraft guns, this thing should not be underestimated. The effect of using it to fight tanks is quite good. In previous battles, the German army has proved its power with actual actions. Many enemies The tank was defeated by this 88mm anti-aircraft gun. But the only problem is that there don't seem to be many such anti-aircraft guns in the North African Army. The number is really too small. Relying on only a few 88mm anti-aircraft guns, it may be difficult to reverse this unfavorable situation. After all, the opponent's armor strength is really in front of us. It is difficult to form an effective attack with just these anti-aircraft guns. check.
And the main problem doesn't end there. The troops in front of them are really fearless and fearless of death. Their ferocity in fighting is really a headache. Hader has already fully understood this. He had fought against the opponent before, and those soldiers rushed forward one by one as if they were desperate for their lives. No matter how much firepower they faced, they never flinched. Such a unit would not be able to win on the battlefield. The impact was quite large, and it was no wonder that Hader was worried about whether he could hold Alexandria. Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel. "Are you following our organization completely?" Not long after, Hader received the armored division reorganization plan from Cun Yunsheng. He read it carefully over and over again. After reading it, his face was full of dismay. With an expression of belief, the whole person looked confused. I thought to myself that this plan looked like it was copied from the German army. From the configuration of all aspects to the specific personnel arrangements, the similarity was too high. It was simply copying the gourd. Cun Yunsheng, on the other hand, said confidently that he would naturally copy the homework of the top student. In his view, in this era, the German armored forces were absolute combat veterans. They had accumulated rich experience in armored combat and had a mature and efficient organizational system. Especially in the armored division, all combat elements such as air defense, anti-tank, assault, etc. are considered, and all aspects are well arranged. For example, every division of the German army will have a supplementary battalion. This is a point that Cun Yunsheng attaches special importance to, because he has realized the importance of personnel supplementation during the battle process since the time of the cannon fodder regiment. With the supplementary battalion, , we can promptly replenish troops for the front line, allowing The troops always maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness and will not lose their combat capabilities due to excessive attrition. Therefore, he feels that there are too many things worth learning from in the German army's organizational structure. There is no harm in copying it, as long as it can improve the combat effectiveness of his own troops. , that’s a good idea. Seeing Cun Yunsheng's shameless look, Hader could only express that he had nothing to say. Concerns were also expressed about Alexandria. (End of chapter)
