Expedition to Europe

The final result made Liu Zizheng and Chen Kangjian dissatisfied.

After Pierre combined the performance of both sides, he still determined that Chen Kangjian's tanks would lose half, and Liu Zizheng's anti-tank artillery positions would be completely destroyed.

This was a judgment method of giving each party fifty slaps, and Liu Zizheng and Chen Kangjian both felt wronged. But the lawsuit was brought to Qin Zhiyuan, and after Qin Zhiyuan's ruling, the judgment was valid and the exercise continued.

Now is not the time to sue. So many senior generals are present, and everyone is busy with affairs. It is not easy to take the time to come. It is really indecent to drag it out.

Then go to the third observation point.

The third observation point is near the preset battlefield, which is a hilly area in the Errani area. At this stage of the exercise, Liu Zizheng and Chen Kangjian, as commanders on both ends of the offense and defense, have also fully entered the state and really treated this exercise as a real battle.

"Our regiment has built a complete defensive fortification here in three days. Although the width is only 100 meters, there are all kinds of defensive facilities within this 100-meter range, which perfectly simulates the terrain of the Chemin de Dame area. The number of artillery is even higher, with a total of 12 gun positions within a distance of 100 meters." Liu Zizheng first introduced the defensive position.

"Okay, your position is only 100 meters wide, and I won't bully you. I will only use ten tanks and cooperate with a company of infantry to launch an attack." Chen Kangjian was arrogant.

This was also Qin Zhiyuan's request. Otherwise, according to Chen Kangjian's habit, he would not care how wide the defensive position on the opposite side was, how much defensive power there was, and he would definitely rush forward and beat the master to death with random punches.

Chen Kangjian was very generous to arrange only one company of attacking forces. Just today, in the spring offensive that just started, the British Canadian Corps launched the first attack in Arras. The scale of the offensive was large, and three armies started at the same time, with a population density of about 15,000 people per kilometer.

Behind the British starting position, the British used the gravel from 206 trains to pave the road and prepared 2,800 cannons and heavy howitzers. On average, there was a British artillery every 10 meters. The density of firepower exceeded the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme. It was unprecedented, if not unprecedented.

The reason why it was not unprecedented was that the French, who were carrying out fire strikes in the Chemin de Dame area, were more fully prepared. When the French launched the attack, the British were now in a child's play.

Of course, compared to the attack that the British were launching, this exercise was like a game.

But even if it was a game, Chen Kangjian and Liu Zizheng both put in 100% effort and were very careful.

According to the previous judgment, five of Chen Kangjian's tanks were destroyed on the way, and only five reached the anti-tank trench.

All anti-tank trenches were dug according to German standards, fifteen feet wide and ten feet deep, which is about 4.5 meters wide and 3 meters deep when converted to metric.

Such specifications are sufficient for the FT-17 tanks equipped by the French Army. After adding the "tail", the French FT-17 tanks can cross a two-meter-wide trench, and the wide front wheels can climb a one-meter-high low wall at a 45-degree angle.

If the original performance of the FT-17 is followed, this anti-tank trench is enough to form a natural moat.

But it is obvious that the tank soldiers have been prepared for this, because the anti-tank guns on the front position have all been destroyed, so these tanks can stop in front of the anti-tank trench and calmly call out the bunkers on the defensive positions one by one, and the defenders have no way to deal with this.

All of these tanks are equipped with 75mm tank guns. Limited by the technical conditions at this time, if the distance is too far, it may not be possible to conduct accurate shooting, but at a distance of only a hundred meters, the 75mm gun is still very powerful, at least it is no problem to overturn the bunkers and machine gun positions on the defenders' positions.

The infantry accompanying the tank attack now play a role, and they jump down the anti-tank trenches one after another, ready to open the forward passage.

"Ouch!"

A soldier suddenly tilted his body and stepped into a small pit.

"Loss of personnel, that soldier suffered combat casualties." Liu Zizheng pointed out immediately.

"Nonsense, you just touched a small pit, what kind of personnel loss is that." Chen Kangjian refused to do it.

Chen Kangjian's tanks were judged to have lost half, and the soldiers were also judged to have lost one-third. Chen Kangjian only sent a company, and now any soldier is very valuable and cannot be easily given up.

"It's just a small pit now, but if it were on a real battlefield, I would dig it into a big pit." Liu Zizheng had a back-up plan.

"Then I can't climb up? How many meters can you dig?" Chen Kangjian, who has been practicing Tan legs since he was a child, is confident.

"There are bamboo sticks at the bottom of the pit, and they are dipped in feces." Liu Zizheng was vicious.

"Damn, you are awesome, you win." Chen Kangjian retreated.

It is not uncommon to put bamboo knives in traps, but it is very insidious to dip the bamboo knives in feces, because once you are stabbed by such bamboo sticks, you will almost certainly get complications, not to mention in this era, even in the 21st century it will be a troublesome matter.

The damage caused by traps is limited after all. Soon the soldiers installed explosives in the anti-tank trenches. With two loud bangs, the anti-tank trenches of four and a half meters wide and three meters deep became six meters wide and one meter deep, and tanks could pass through easily.

The tanks that passed the anti-tank trenches are like pawns that have crossed the river. They are really unstoppable and kill all around. The two-meter-high and one-meter-wide barbed wire was directly ignored and rolled over,

The charred and silent tree stumps were rolled over directly. Seeing the cluster grenades flying over, they were rolled over. Even if there were huge mines on the ground, they were still rolled over...

Okay, those who rolled over mines and grenades were ruled out.

"Wait, the tanks are now next to the first trench. I have a flamethrower hidden in the trench." Liu Zizheng said leisurely.

At this time, due to various reasons, only two tanks rushed to the defenders' positions, but these two tanks had already started the killing mode. According to the rules of the exercise, if Liu Zizheng did not kill the two tanks within two minutes, the defenders would be judged as defeated.

"The soldiers accompanying the tanks were equipped with shotguns and grenades. Before they reached the edge of the trench, I threw the grenades in first. Before your flamethrower showed up, you were killed!" Chen Kangjian was a little out of control.

The tank troops, who were highly expected, attacked the infantry defense positions. Chen Kangjian was full of confidence at the beginning. But now, Chen Kangjian has lost much confidence. Seeing that the tanks are about to be worn out bit by bit, Chen Kangjian is worried.

"Damn, you are the only one with grenades? I still have mortars. My mortars are hiding on the reverse slope to attack your infantry. How many of you can get up?" Liu Zizheng's tone is also a little anxious.

There is also competition within the First Brigade. Seeing that Chen Kangjian's troops have been upgraded to tank regiments, Liu Zizheng is also itching.

In the past three months, Liu Zizheng has not been idle. He has also accumulated more than 200 tankers. As long as there are enough tanks, his troops can also be transformed into the rapid response mechanized troops mentioned by Qin Zhiyuan.
