The best strategy is to take down the fortress on an isolated island at sea, jump from the plane, go directly into the fortress to create chaos, and then attack inside and out. The former Penghu Magong Fortress strategy was eventually drafted on paper because the Japanese took the initiative to evacuate, but it was appropriate to move this plan to Metz, the only question is, are there so many planes? And is a thousand elite soldiers enough for this huge fortress?

The lights in the war room of the Panzer Corps headquarters were on until midnight, and the next day, in the medical office, Lieutenant Colonel Fuller and Colonel Etienna, who were still weak and dizzy after a night, began to mumble as soon as they woke up in the morning. When they were on the tank yesterday, the two thought that the Chinese were really enthusiastic, but later because the translator fainted, the tank drove faster and faster, and the two could not move and had to shout, but the driver could not understand English, let alone French, so the tank galloped until both rolled their eyes before stopping.

As for the rest of the matter, the two of them couldn't remember it in a daze. The first thing in the morning when they woke up, the wise British thought that yesterday they had fallen for the cunning Chinese, and they did not mean to let themselves visit the tanks at all, so they tortured themselves so much; The French were born in artillery, studied tanks in recent years, and had a very professional understanding of machinery, but when the British complained, he suddenly said: "If it is a French tank, then there will only be two results yesterday, one is that the tank suddenly disintegrates, and then we die, or the tank does not disintegrate, and we still die." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Fuller, reminded by the French, immediately shifted his attention from the Chinese trickery to the Wolf tank, which yesterday should have traveled at a speed of more than fifteen miles. And it's off-road speed, which is pretty scary. In that road condition, the Greyhound Cavalry tank was estimated to be less than eight miles away. And it will break down soon. Lieutenant Colonel Fuller put away his complaints and asked, "Mr. Colonel, why can the Chinese wolf drive so fast?" ”

The question was asked exactly where the French itched, and Colonel Etienne endured a headache and said: "In my impression, the horsepower of the Chinese wolf is very strong, and I think the engine power will not be lower than that of the Mark IV; The rotation mechanism is very stable and the operation is also flexible. It doesn't need one of the dual transmissions to stop the rotation of one side of the track to achieve steering, it may be installed inside with a double differential, I heard that some Americans are working on this kind of double differential. Rumor has it that it is very complicated. The most peculiar thing is that the engine and transmission are actually placed in the back of the car, but the driver is still sitting in the front......"

Colonel Etienna's brain began to dizzy again, and he actually said such nonsense about why the driver was sitting in front of the tank. As far as the current tank interior layout is concerned. The engine, gearbox and gearbox are all front-loaded. But the Chinese suddenly moved the engine and transmission transpose to the back, leaving only the driver in the front, which feels very weird. The colonel had no way of knowing how the driver operated the rear transmission; Moreover, so many devices have been moved to the back, occupying the already small rear half of the tank's internal space, so that the turret can only be arranged in the front, which is likely to unbalance the longitudinal center of gravity of the vehicle......

Two shortcomings came to mind in an instant, and the colonel secretly rejoiced and at the same time couldn't help but think of the advantages of doing so. Based on yesterday's experience, what touched him the most was that what was once hell had become heaven. The occupants, who had previously been dazed by the engine and gearbox, and whose throats were swollen with red throats, were finally able to stop fighting in the heat, loud noise, toxic smoke, and the sharp crunch characteristic of the transmission's spur gears; Meantime. The less reliable transmission component does not break down simply because of the firing vibration of a machine-gun bullet, it is now in the safe rear. And it's also easier to place and repair in this way - there is always a tailgate at the tail of the tank, and once the tailgate is opened, the maintenance of these breakdown-prone machinery will not climb into the tank again......

As an artillery officer who was well versed in the structure and mechanics of tanks, Colonel Etiena had just thought of the two shortcomings of the Chinese tank and found three of its advantages, and they were extremely important. He can guarantee that once his subordinates have used Chinese tanks, the original Schneider, Saint-Chamon, and even the current Renault will be abandoned by the tankers. Schneider and Saint-Chamont are all right, but Renault is his personal cooperation with Renault......

When the French were worried, yesterday's fierce driver Li Mengpei came to comfort the two sick people before Commander Wang Shiqian, and after he handed them a book with a smile, the British people's complaints stopped.

"This is the training manual of our armored forces......" Li Mengpei's face was very serious, but his bones were smiling, "It is mainly condensed from the writings of many masters of the art of war in our country more than 2,000 years ago, and it is very practical ......"

"Walter?" "More than 2,000 years ago" made Fuller's face ugly, and he would never believe that the Chinese had tanks for more than 2,000 years, when Europe was still a small country even Rome.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, may I ask what formation of the tank should you use when breaking through the German trenches?" Knowing the surprise of foreigners, Li Mengpei asked a question.

"Of course it'......" Fuller's tone paused slightly, he didn't want to talk about the triangular formation, but said: "I usually use a rectangular formation, which can break through the German defenses better than the triangular formation." ”

"That's right, when we studied the tank attack formation, we also thought that this formation was more conducive to a large army assault." Li Mengpei nodded matter-of-factly, and then said: "You and I only know about it today, but more than 2,200 years ago, the ancient Chinese art of war master Sun Bin knew this. In the ten formations, it was said: 'Phalanx, so intercept it!' ', 'intercept', means to tear; Da Ming Wu Xie also said: 'The phalanx is attacked, how can He Yun resist? It is to the effect that the phalanx is invincible and unstoppable. ”

Without estimating the stunned foreigners, Li Mengpei said again: "In addition to the phalanx, in ancient China, there were also the Yanxing Formation, the Yuli Formation, the Jing Corpse Formation, the Hook Array, and ......, these formations and usages have given us a lot of ready-made tactics, so to speak, the chariot was not invented at this time for the Fuxing Army, but just cleaned up from the museum." ”

Li Mengpei's words were half-truths and half-truths, but after all, he still didn't say 'Yang Maozi, I see that you are talented and have strange bones, and you must be a rare car combat wizard ...... in a hundred years', and he retired after a few words of concern and greeting among the foreigners, leaving them to pull the translator and hold the chariot training manual more than 2,000 years ago to study hard.
