Arc of Gunfire

Chapter 263 The gold content of the last one (update 20/33)

After disbanding these officers, Wang Zhong began to think about what he would teach these students who were forced to teach him tomorrow. While thinking about it, he followed a group of professors.

Thinking about it carefully, there are too many problems with Ant's army now, and I feel that nothing can be said to immediately change Ant's situation.

Professor Valery: "This is our war game building. What is going on in the No. 1 deduction room is the review of the defense battle of Ye Fort."

Wang Zhong: "Huh? Oh."

He was about to continue thinking about what to talk about tomorrow, but he suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him with bright eyes.

This is obviously hoping that Wang Zhong will say something.

Professor Valery dutifully introduced: "Currently, those who play the role of our army are students majoring in infantry command, while those who play the role of the Prosen army are students majoring in armor command."

Wang Zhong said without much thought: "Proson is also very strong in infantry. In fact, their infantry attack threat under the cover of artillery fire is very great. We cannot take it for granted that they are only armored soldiers."

The students on both sides looked at each other.

A student suddenly thought of applauding, so he raised his hand and clapped——

But Wang Zhong continued to speak, and he could only stay quiet.

Wang Zhong looked at the exercise map carefully and shook his head.

"You obviously have overestimated the Prossen troops. In fact, the Prossens can defeat us, not because of how powerful their armored forces are - our propaganda always focuses on this, but ignores the real situation."

Wang Zhong waved his hands repeatedly, walked up to the student who was holding a pole more than two meters long, took the pole, and began to adjust the various chess pieces in the confrontation on the map. While adjusting, he said: "The main reason why the Prosen army can defeat us is It's because they are highly synthetic.

"This is their real advantage. Take Prosen's armored division as an example. In fact, they only have two armored battalions per armored division, and it is rare to even have three armored battalions.

"But most of their armored divisions will have an armored grenadier regiment based on two armored battalions, as well as artillery regiments, air defense battalions, logistics support battalions, and motorized reconnaissance battalions..."

Wang Zhong said as he filled in the affiliated units of the Proson Armored Division on the map.

"As for us, some senior generals have only a superficial understanding of the enemy. They just make assumptions without careful investigation and research. We lost 10,000 tanks in 18 days of the war, 10,000 tanks!

"Although most of these tanks are BT and T26, there are also a large number of T34 and KV tanks, but these tanks have also been lost.

"I have communicated with many tank division commanders of our army. These tank units have nothing but tanks. They take it for granted that if the tank units have tanks, they can conquer the world!

"The result? As a result, these lacked the cooperation of other troops. There were no tank divisions and tank corps except tanks. They disappeared like bubbles in the sun.

"Who is leading this mentally retarded military expansion? One is General Skorobo. I have killed him. It turns out that he was a Prosin spy. The other is Tsar Nicholas V, but because of his He missed Ivan too much - the crown prince and died.

"There is one person left, and that is Chief of Staff Tukhachev - now the commander of the Western Front, he will get the opportunity to prove his loyalty to Ant's mother."

When Wang Zhong said "loyalty to Ant's mother," he noticed that several students frowned.

He was probably a nobleman, and according to the term "nobleman", he should be proving his loyalty to the Tsar.

Wang Zhong ignored them: "These digressions are not the topic of our discussion today. What we want to discuss is how tanks should be used.

"Now, of all the armies in Ante, who has the most successful use of tanks? It's me, Rokosov.

"And my tank unit never acts alone. In fact, my division is a mechanized infantry division. I only have one tank battalion, but basically all of my battalion is a meritorious tank driver, and each vehicle crew destroys an average of More than ten Prossen tanks.

"Tanks can achieve their best combat effectiveness only with the cooperation of infantry, anti-aircraft artillery, anti-tank artillery and curved artillery. The Plosans have discovered this long ago, so their tank divisions - they call them armored divisions, That’s why there are so many non-tank troops.”

Wang Zhong stopped because his mouth was a little dry as he talked. At this time, a girl came up with tea on a tray.

Wang Zhong picked up the tea cup and found that the temperature was just right for drinking. He said "thank you" and drank the cup.

Putting the tea cup back on the tray, he continued: "Our tank troops not only have problems with their organization, but also with their use. Many commanders only know how to rush blindly, which is wrong. The key to the use of tanks is actually is to unleash its firepower.

“Whether you are engaging in a tank battle with enemy tanks or covering an infantry attack, the most important thing is to use your firepower.

"This requires the tank to have the best possible observation and search capabilities. Proson's tanks all have commanders, and the commanders like to stick their upper bodies out of the tanks for reconnaissance. Their tanks generally have very good reconnaissance capabilities. The new Type III G tank is even equipped with a commander’s observation tower... Do you have any pictures?”

Because there were students majoring in armor command in the room at this time, Wang Zhong wanted to demonstrate it to give them an idea of ​​the observation tower.

But the lecturer in charge of hosting the military push shook his head: "Not yet."

Wang Zhong: "It doesn't matter. I also captured many intact Type 3G and Type 4E tanks in this battle. The trainees of the Armored Command Department can drive them themselves and experience the advantages of these tanks.

"The Prosens are very good at taking advantage of the firepower of their tanks. Their tanks have the best sights in the world, and the accuracy of their cannons is also very high. The first time I won a defensive battle was in the small village of Haute Penier. The Prosen tank crew actually hit the window of the village clock tower with a cannon from a distance of two kilometers.

"Two kilometers! At that time, the commander of the Divine Arrow Company of my unit was Brother Yezemenko. He originally insisted on setting up a launching position on the bell tower, but he changed the position after my objection.

"If I hadn't objected, my fiancée, Lyudmila, the prayer hand of the Divine Arrow, would have died under the enemy's precise artillery fire."

Wang Zhong stopped and looked at the students.

Judging from the students' eyes, they all listened very seriously.

This made Wang Zhong extremely satisfied: "Understand? Use firepower! The main function of armor is to allow the tank to use firepower for a longer period of time! Firepower! Search for the enemy and hit the first hit. This is more reliable than any armor!"

Wang Zhong said this here because he had just thought about how to fight the tiger, and then thought about the characteristics of the tiger style for a whole round.

As a result, I now directly share some of my feelings at that time as "practical experience" and tell them to the students.

Wang Zhong: "But what about our tanks? Our tanks don't have a commander! Because the person who led the development and the person in charge of the review at the time felt that the commander was useless and a waste of manpower! This is simply ridiculous!"

In fact, it was the former Tsar Nicholas V who really decided on the plan without a commander, but he died.

Wang Zhong: "Because our tank does not have a commander, or the commander must work part-time as a gunner, the detection ability in battle is very poor. If our tank commander sticks his upper body out of the tank like his counterpart Prossen, The tank can no longer shoot.

"This is the most ridiculous design I've ever seen.

"And our tank guns. As long as you have personally driven a T34, you will know that this vehicle's tank guns cannot hit at all at a distance of more than 1,000 meters. Most effective hits are achieved within 500 meters.

"Compared with the hit distance of the Proscenians, this is simply unbelievable!"

At this time, a student raised his hand: "But the newspaper said that T34 is invincible and will beat up any Prosen monster!"

Wang Zhong: "Bullshit! Yes, Proson can't effectively penetrate the T34's armor now, but they quickly found a way to deal with it. As I just said, the T34's detection capability is very poor. To put it bluntly, the T34 is like A blind man!

"As long as the Prosen people go around from the front to the side of the T34, the T34 will not be able to find it! Regarding this point, in the future we can transport Prosen's No. 3 G type over and have a confrontation with the T34.

"Although Proson cannot penetrate the main armor of the T34, he can attack the turret seat and break the tracks!

"The first time my unit got the T34 was during the Defense of Loktov. At that time, Prosen's ace tanker used this to deal with our T34. If I hadn't rushed back and discovered that this ace tanker had already packed up several T34s. group and destroyed their tanks, our army will surely suffer huge losses."

Mr. Wang stopped.

The girl just now thought he was thirsty again and came directly with water, but Wang Zhong waved his hand and scanned the whole room.

Wang Zhong: "Do you understand now? For tanks, two things are important: first, long-distance detection and search capabilities, giving full play to firepower, and second, the coordination of multiple arms.

"Armor is also important, but not as important as advertised! Some of our generals think that as long as they pile heavy armor on tanks, everything will be fine. They think that as long as they have tanks, they can conquer the world. This is wrong."

Wang Zhong stopped. He felt that he had almost said it. After all, he didn't even write a draft today, so it was enough to say this much. So he said, "Is there any problem?"

Immediately some students raised their hands.

Wang Zhong: "Say."

Student: "General, is that why you ranked last? Because our army's theory is wrong?"

Wang Zhong glanced at the professors accompanying him.

You're sweating profusely now!

Wang Zhong: "Of course. And I am here to correct these mistakes! Correct them fundamentally! If we do not reverse this situation and eliminate the bad influence of wrong military thinking, there will definitely be more Ante soldiers in the future for no reason. Bloodshed and sacrifice!

"These sacrifices are avoidable! This is the reason why I personally applied to His Majesty Olga I to become the dean of the Suvorov Military Academy!"

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he hammered the large wooden table used for exercises in the picture.

The students burst into thunderous applause that made the ceiling buzz.

The professors huddled in the corner looked at each other.
