Chapter 468 - Butan Cooperative Operations Version 1.0 2
"Now that we've used the Moss code to make contact, do we still have to arrange a liaison in the tank? Commanders, gunners, and loaders don't have the energy to do this. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mike thought for a moment and said, as a tank commander, he knew very well how much pressure each tanker was on.
Maybe 8 percent of the time in the battle, there is no situation, but it is very likely that there will be 6 percent of the time in 1 percent! The gunner is responsible for attacking targets, the commander directs the combat vehicle, searches for targets, and also controls the side-by-side machine guns in front of the fighting compartment. The driver was responsible for driving the car and controlling the machine gun in front of the car. The loader was responsible for loading and mounting the machine gun drum. Unless you're an octopus with 8 hands, you don't have time to play with light telegraphs!
"If there is another person, it will have to be overhauled, and the body space will be increased, otherwise it will only reduce the amount of ammunition." Maybach thought for a moment and said. On the question of whether the new generation of combat vehicles is 4 or 5 people, the front-line officers and soldiers and designers have torn up several times, the former believes that there should be one more person to facilitate operation, while the latter believes that in order to ensure that it is not overweight, it is necessary to save one person if it can be saved......
In addition to the signal lights installed in the parking spaces and the amplifiers installed inside the crew, the vehicles and the infantry behind them were also issued signal flares. At the same time, the machine gun was also dispensed with tracer rounds, which could be used to indicate targets for the assault gun if necessary. And after a few run-ins, Bavaria's bicycle breakthrough tactics are also playing well!
At least when the prince came to inspect, on the exercise ground.
"The enemy is about to be engaged, and the machine gun crew is ready to deploy!" The advancing Vespa assault gun came to a sudden stop, and then the orange signal light that heralded the engagement lit up, and the infantry commander who received the signal immediately signaled, and the two machine gun crews quickly moved to the left and right flanks.
In order to carry more ammunition, the new machine gun crew abandoned the tripod in favor of a lightweight bipod, and on a raised stone, the No. 1 shooting mobile gun was erected. Shooter 1 places the ammo box he was carrying on the right side of the machine gun and helps Shooter 1 to attach the chain. And the third shooter followed to the left with a spare barrel, ready to replace the barrel for losses. And the command of the machine-gun crew began to search for targets with binoculars.
"At 11 o'clock, a machine-gun bunker! At 12 o'clock, there is a suspected battle defense gun! The soldier in charge of liaison shouted and cleaned up, and finally explained the matter.
With a gack, as the lid at the tail of the fighting compartment was closed, the heavy tank began to turn its body, and after the vehicle came to a standstill, the machine gun next to the gun fired 5 short bursts to indicate the target to correct the trajectory, and after 5 seconds, the short barrel shrank back sharply, an orange fireball erupted from the muzzle, and a high-explosive grenade flew straight towards the target, blowing up the flat-fire gun position 800 meters away into pieces. Then, the cannon turned slightly at an angle, and the other simulated extremely strong nest was cleanly eliminated.
The troops then continued to advance, and after about 150 meters, the yellow light at the rear of the tank was illuminated, and the sappers responsible for removing obstacles immediately followed from behind, and the grenadiers in charge of the cover threw smoke grenades, while the machine guns and grenadiers deployed on the flanks suppressed the opponents in front with the vehicles.
This kind of firepower was simply unimaginable in previous exercises, except for the initial artillery long-range fire support, the only thing the infantry could rely on was rifles and grenades in their hands, and occasionally a few machine guns, but it was of little use in the face of a strong position. EVEN WITH A 60MM MORTAR, IT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TEAR THROUGH THE OPPONENT'S DEFENSES, BECAUSE THE 60 MORTAR'S SHELLS ARE TOO POWERFUL AND CARRY TOO LITTLE AMMUNITION!
BUT NOW IT'S DIFFERENT, THEY HAVE A STEEL FORTRESS THAT CAN BE MOVED, AND THE 75MM GUNS ARE AROUND! Up to 48 rounds of ammunition are enough to clear the front of a company's defense! WITH THE CONTINUOUS FIRE OF THE 75MM ARTILLERY, THE FORTRESSES IN THE DISTANCE WERE BLOWN UP INTO THE SKY ONE BY ONE FROM A SAFE DISTANCE! Infantry and chariot firepower work together to crush the opponent's defenses to pieces like a giant millstone!
If we look at it from a technical point of view, the tactical level of Bavaria on the exercise ground at present has far exceeded the historical tank breakthrough of the British and the storm commandos organized by the Germans. And the latter did not have tanks at all. Let's not talk about whether this set of immature tactics can break through the trenches on the Western Front, but at least it will be no problem to clean up the Russians on the Eastern Front!
"ON A FRONTAGE OF LESS THAN 100 METERS, WE CAN NOW CONCENTRATE A 75MM HOWITZER, TWO GRENADIERS AND ABOUT 6 MACHINE GUNS, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL FRONT-LINE OFFENSIVE FIREPOWER WE ENVISIONED, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A WEAPON THAT CAN MANEUVER AND RESIST MOST OF THE ATTACKS, IT CAN BE USED AS THE PILLAR OF OUR OFFENSIVE." Major General Schmidt said.
"But a well-concealed and good artillery cannon can destroy this vehicle, and in the future, it is doubtful that the assault gun will be able to penetrate the defensive line with the defense artillery, unless we can concentrate a large number of vehicles on a narrower offensive surface and overwhelm the defenders' firepower," Prince Leopold still expressed reservations. The advent of the Vespa assault gun can indeed give us one more means, but it is still difficult to break through the opponent's defense line by relying on a single car or a group.
"A well-defended 3-inch rapid-fire gun position with 4 guns can effectively threaten our tanks, unless we have 10 tanks concentrated in front and have support weapons capable of destroying strong fortifications, such as large-caliber mortars." The prince was of the same opinion.
"That means that the future research direction should be the question of how to coordinate more than a dozen combat vehicles at the company level?" Viscount Schmidt's face tightened, and he said with a little worry, now it is a trouble for the bicycle and the infantry to cooperate, if this is a dozen combat vehicles, how to cooperate? If you can't go far, that's herding sheep!
"There is also the cooperation between different vehicles, so you have a long way to go!" The prince patted Viscount Schmidt on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
While the big guys were communicating, the exercise was still going on, with the sappers rushing to the front under the cover of their comrades and clearing the minefield in front with a new explosive device, long slender sticks connected and extending to the front. This kind of equipment similar to blasting canisters filled with explosives is very effective for surface mines, as long as the fuse is gently pulled, a breakthrough channel with a width of more than ten meters can be quickly cleared.
