What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that these "Sherman" tanks were just the beginning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Soon a batch of Higgins boats, amphibious landing vehicles, amphibious landing tanks, and infantry landing gunboats were transferred from the US military......

These pieces of equipment couldn't help but make Zhang Chi a little dizzy.

In fact, Zhang Chi knew that these equipment were necessary for the New Seventh Army, such as the Higgins ship, amphibious landing vehicles, and amphibious landing vehicles, as well as amphibious tanks, which were all necessary equipment for landing operations.

Prior to this, the New Seventh Army had only a small number of Higgins ships, amphibious landing vehicles, and amphibious landing vehicles and amphibious tanks, so if it wanted to launch a landing battle, it had to rely on the support of the US military...... This is not to say that Halsey is stingy, the amphibious landing vehicle itself has not been equipped for a long time, and the amphibious tank has just been developed and was used for the first time during the attack on the Marshall Islands.

Zhang Chi was a little stunned when he looked at these new equipment, and he said to Halsey: "General, although I like these equipment very much, but ...... We have no experience with these gears! ”

Halsey couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Colonel, it's not just that you are inexperienced, but neither are we!" ”

Later, Zhang Chi learned that amphibious tanks and infantry landed gunboats...... These things are being used on the battlefield for the first time, and even the American soldiers who fly them are urgently going into battle after a few days of training.

This is actually because of the urgency of the war situation and the strong industrial capacity of the United States.

Because the United States has a very strong industrial capacity, it can always develop new equipment suitable for the battlefield in a short period of time according to the situation on the battlefield, and because the war situation is urgent, these equipment have not had time to undergo rigorous testing or conduct long-term training for equipment personnel before they are urgently put into the battlefield, so it is inevitable that the phenomenon of insufficient user experience will appear.

For example, in the Battle of Tarawa, the amphibious landing vehicles were also used on the battlefield for the first time, and their drivers were not proficient in using these landing vehicles before they hurriedly entered the battle...... However, amphibious landing vehicles have proven to be very effective against islands like Tarawa, which is one of the reasons why the U.S. military used amphibious landing vehicles heavily in the fighting in the Marshall Islands.

So Zhang Chi didn't have to think about it, so he hurried up to let the soldiers get familiar with these equipment.

After all, there are also navies, tank troops, and so on in the New Seventh Army, and the navy in the New Seventh Army also uses American-style equipment, and these new equipment of the US military, such as amphibious landing vehicles, as well as amphibious and land tanks, they are actually a combination of tanks and boats, as long as the tankers and sailors come to observe together, and then under the guidance of the US military advisers, they will soon be able to master the use of these equipment.

But here's the hard part...... How to use this equipment in battle.

Zhang Chi's long-term battlefield life has made Zhang Chi know that in order for a piece of equipment to play its due role on the battlefield, it must be able to synthesize a system with the existing military equipment and effectively coordinate with various arms of the armed forces.

There is only one way to prevent this from happening: train, train...... Retrain! (To be continued.) )
