Arc of Gunfire

While Olga and Prime Minister Leonard Spencer reviewed the guard of honor, Wang Zhong and the Allied generals came to the viewing stand nearby.

Standing next to Wang Zhong was a four-star general from the United States. As soon as the ceremony began, he asked in a low voice: "How did you deal with Prosen's powerful armored force?"

"Ah?" Wang Zhongqie took a look at the bird's eye view and confirmed that he had never seen this four-star general when he went to the United States. His title was Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces Rim Aegean, and this man also had his nickname in his name. "Ike", put it in double quotes like this in the middle of the name.

Admiral "Ike" repeated the question.

Wang Zhong: "The Prosen Armored Forces are good at long-distance combat. When they are equipped with long-barreled guns, our ordinary T34 troops have no way to deal with them. They are often hit with an exchange ratio of 10 to 170."

Ike: "Then how did you win?"

"First, dig bunkers to hide the tanks and engage in armored ambush warfare. Second, get a tank destroyer that piles up frontal defense to deal with the errands first. Third, the overall performance of the new tank exceeds that of Proson's tank."

Ike: "Did your new tank win against their new tank? There is nothing we can do when we encounter that kind of tank on the front line."

Wang Zhong: "Try the British Army's 17-pounder cannon and your 90mm anti-aircraft gun."

Ike: "Did you read the weapons information we sent over?"

Allied countries share the performance parameters of most weapons and equipment with each other, and some samples of main battle equipment will be sent to allies. So Ant also got the 90mm gun and the matching shells from the United States. After testing it, he was very satisfied with the performance of this weapon.

Wang Zhong: "Not only did I watch it, but the test was organized by someone I trust. I am the chairman of the Ant Equipment Review Committee. These two weapons in the Allied arsenal will make it easier to deal with the enemy's new tanks. Of course, you also You can choose to improve the bazooka rockets to enhance their penetration capabilities.”

On Earth, the U.S. military finally improved the Super Bazooka rocket, which had no problem dealing with King Tiger. It just required infantry to risk their lives and get closer to within 200 meters to launch.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of Sardinia, this strategy may not work. The Proscenians can use the terrain to shoot from a distance, keeping the Allied infantry from approaching.

But in the "hedge hell" of Normandy, it was the Prossins who had a headache.

Ike: "Any other suggestions?"

Wang Zhong: "Yes, don't think about shooting at the enemy's armored forces. Use the advantages of artillery and air force. No matter how powerful the armored forces are, if the field repair shop and supplies are blown away, it will be just a pile of scrap metal. We are not there This is done when it can counter Proson's armor advantage.

"Use Mustangs to carry rockets to attack trains, and use P47s to carry bombs to attack train stations. You can even use Liberator bombers to stare at enemy train stations and supply depots and blow them up."

Ike smiled: "That's a good idea."

At this time, the Lieutenant General of the Army Air Force who had been listening next to him spoke: "To put it simply, our Eighth Air Force's bombing mission can hardly be carried out now. The losses are too great. The pilots of Proson are going crazy and want to shoot them down." Our bombers."

Wang Zhong immediately switched to the bird's eye view and discovered that the Air Force Lieutenant General was called Doolittle.

He quickly asked: "Are you the Doolittle who bombed the Fuso Empire?"

"Yes, that's me. And I'm about to take over as the commander of the Eighth Air Force. I heard that the Marshal has also done some research on aircraft. I wonder what suggestions you have for the next actions of the Air Force?"

Wang Zhong: "My suggestion is to let the young men in the fighter force not escort those damn bombers, but let them look for the pilots of the Proson Air Force to duel.

"Fighter pilots are all cowboys. They want to compete with the enemy's top pilots. Let them follow the bombers and serve as the bomber's escort machine guns. It will be too demoralizing for them."

Doolittle laughed: "I think so too, but everyone thinks I'm crazy. I also want the fighter boys to straf the enemy's airport. The aircraft parked at the airport undergoing maintenance and the surrounding ground support are also very good attacks." Target, as long as we continue to attack, the combat effectiveness of the Proson Air Force will continue to decrease, and our bombing will go more smoothly!"

Wang Zhong: "You can also ask the young man who attacked the airport to bring some time bombs and throw them on the airport runway."

Doolittle: "That makes sense. You can throw time bombs and real bombs together. The real bombs destroy the runway, and the time bombs prevent the enemy from repairing the runway."

Wang Zhong: "That's right."

Admiral "Ike" next to him sighed: "Have you never considered the boys who fly bombers?"

Wang Zhong: "Your Majesty, General, it is very inefficient to have the fighter units surround the bombers and escort them. However, the escort efficiency will be higher if the fighter units enter the airspace before the bombers, attack the enemy airport, and engage in knightly battles with the enemy fighter pilots." ”

Lieutenant General Doolittle also echoed: "Yes, mixing fighters and bombers actually hinders fighter pilots. They can neither occupy better positions nor achieve higher speeds - because they have to be accompanied by those bulky of bombers.

"Marshal Rokossov's suggestion is more reasonable."

Wang Zhong thought about it. You just said you thought so too, but others didn't agree. Why, are you starting to pull my skin now?

The United States has not yet established an independent air force. The Eighth Air Force responsible for bombing Plossom is a unit under the name of the Army Air Force. Lieutenant General Doolittle is also a lieutenant general of the Army Air Force and is subject to the jurisdiction of high-ranking army officials like Ike.

Ike glanced at Wang Zhong's profile: "Okay, you can try to go to the Eighth Air Force, but if the bomber unit loses too much, we may call off the bombing of Plossom."

Wang Zhong: "No! It's true that the bombing is bleeding your pilots, but it is also bleeding the Plossom Air Force. We have rarely been attacked by the Plossom Air Force on the Eastern Front. The Ante Air Force is gradually gaining air superiority. This is the meaning of your bombing.

"War is like this, General Davarish. It doesn't matter if you lose pilots. What matters is that you can replace more pilots on the opposite side."

Ike remained silent.

Wang Zhong continued: "Think about what will happen after we fail."

Ike: "I know we must win and we will win. "

At this time, the ceremony was at the stage where the leaders of both sides gave speeches. Wang Zhong watched Olga walk up to the podium and began to read from the script.

Ike suddenly said, "I heard that you brought the repaired new Plossen tank?"

"Yes, it should be unloaded at the port, and then it will be transported to the front line by a Dragon trailer. But that thing is unlucky. The Plossen people are good at wasting tonnage. The empty weight of the heavy tank is 70 tons, and the medium-sized one is more than 40 tons. "

Ike frowned: "Our heavy tank test vehicle is only 40 tons! How did they do it?"

Wang Zhong: "You have to ask Plossen's engineers. So you have a new tank plan?"

Ike hesitated.

At this time, President Luo, who was sitting in the front row and listening, turned around: "Just say whatever you want to say. The marshal standing in front of you has defeated those new Plossen tanks."

Ike nodded: "Okay, Mr. President. Before we joined the war, we inspected Plossen's tanks. At that time, we thought that Plossen's No. 3 and No. 4 had no advantage when facing our Sherman. ”

Contrary to many people’s impressions, Sherman is actually a pretty good tank. Its protection was also quite reliable in the first year it entered the war. Many Plosson tanks on the big slope would have a headache when they encountered it.

The Sherman on Earth was regarded as scum, that was against the Tiger, King Tiger and Leopard.

Ike continued: "But at that time, the newspapers controlled by the Plosson people had been hyping up, saying that Plosson technology was the best in the world and the tanks it built were invincible, so the army proposed a plan for a new tank to prepare for a rainy day.

"But later you kept winning, and you performed very well in the Mamluk M4, and achieved a good exchange ratio with the Plosson tank, so the research and development progress was delayed."

Wang Zhong was a little surprised. How could this be blamed on me?

Ike: "But after the failure of the Sardin landing operation, the army increased the authority of the project and lowered some technical indicators in order to produce the finished product as soon as possible."

Wang Zhong: "Instead of doing this, you might as well make full improvements to the Sherman."

As a military game fan, Wang Zhong knows that the "Big Mac" tank modified from Sherman is widely praised by players in War Thunder and World of Tanks.

Wang Zhong continued: "It is troublesome to change the artillery, but it is not troublesome to add armor to the front. After defending against the enemy's artillery fire, use your mass-produced white phosphorus bombs to paste the enemy tanks, which may make the enemy tanks lose their combat effectiveness."

At this time, the tank has no three-defense system and cannot maintain positive pressure inside the vehicle, so it has basically no defense against white phosphorus bombs and poison gas bombs.

If the white phosphorus bomb is covered in the face, let alone other things, the commander Proson who looks out of the observation port will probably not have to use his eyes.

Ike: "White phosphorus bombs to hit the face!"

"Yes, and then use infantry to go around the side. All your infantrymen are equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and their firepower is stronger than the current Proson people. The firepower of the Proson infantry squad depends entirely on the machine guns in the squad. In addition to machine guns, the only automatic firepower is the MP40 in the squad leader's hand.

"Even if the white phosphorus bombs can't hurt the tanks, they can clear the surrounding infantry. Tanks without infantry are very vulnerable, especially in cities."

Ike fell into deep thought: "It does make sense."

Wang Zhong: "The Proson people have strong armored forces, so find a way not to let their armored forces take advantage. You should avoid the real and attack the fake, and play to your strengths. This is all said in the Seres military book "The Art of War". I suggest that your West Point Military Academy list this ancient book as a must-read."

Before Ike answered, the United Kingdom general wearing a beret next to him spoke: "Does Marshal Rokosov want to say that he defeated Proson because he read that ancient Seres military book? "

What else?

I am a Seres!

But Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Of course not, I just said that reading this military book can bring people inspiration."
