Chapter 1922: Doctrine of War

Malashenko estimated that Major General Charlieson would probably call out a lot of people. The combined total of the two British and American officer corps would probably be a dozen or so smaller. (audience)

But what Malashenko never expected was that his grandson called nearly thirty people directly on the phone, and his room, which was indeed quite large, was packed to the brim, making it very crowded. Comrade Ma was surrounded by a crowd of people sitting on a chair and watching. He felt like a monkey being watched in a zoo.

"How come there are so many people here? Didn't the British and Americans say that they only came to two officer corps? They can gather together three armored divisions with regiment-level and above commanders, so many Why don’t you wear me out in class?”

Although I was complaining in my heart, I couldn't express it with my mouth.

Malashenko, who wanted to quickly adapt to this matter and deal with it, did not hesitate much. After thinking for a while, he quickly spoke to an acquaintance sitting next to him: Major General Charlieson, whom he had already met once. .

"Let's ask questions. If you are interested or want to know anything, you can ask directly. Don't be too formal. As long as I can answer it, I will patiently explain it."

Malashenko's tone was undoubtedly polite. Seeing Malashenko say this, Major General Charlieson secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps this Malashenko was more serious than he expected. It's easier to deal with.

"Then let me ask the first question, General.

Major General Charlieson did his part to ask questions first. As the first person to eat crabs, Malashenko also shifted the focus of his eyes to him. He raised his ears and waited attentively for this person who seemed to be a little bit nervous. The next words of the capable British Army Major General.

"We have gone to the front line on the battlefield to observe the actual combat performances of your troops, that is, the leadership divisions. I found that your fighting method is very special. You do not directly penetrate the enemy's positions at high speed to separate and encircle them. This is completely different from yours. Most tank units are different."

"It is a step-by-step, steady attack tactic, squeezing the living space of those Germans bit by bit and pushing them into a corner. Using absolutely superior technical weapons to create ferocious firepower makes the enemy unable to counterattack and resist, and ultimately wins the battle. It seems to be an armored tactic that favors our allies, is that right?”

The British and Americans observed his previous German battle, and Malashenko knew this very well.

The tactics he uses are indeed somewhat different from those of the ordinary Red Army tank troops. This is based on his unique command method and understanding of tactics and tactics, and is not based on the friendly tactics experience of passing one to ten or ten to a hundred. Putting it aside, Major General Charleson's first question wasn't too difficult to answer.

"You are partly right, but only a small part. The tactics I adopt are still very different from those of your allies. If not, the current battle situation on the Eastern Front and the Western Front will not be completely different. Both cases, am I right?"

"Uh this"

Malashenko asked again to answer the question. This time, Major General Charlieson was confused. He looked really embarrassed and was speechless for a while.

Strictly speaking, Major General Charleson was not the only one. Almost all the British and American officers in the room looked uncomfortable. Some were slightly angry, as if they were humiliated, while others closed their eyes and shook their heads helplessly, as if recalling some unbearable past event. In short, none of them were normal.

Such a large group of guys who all started out as majors with the lowest military rank all had abnormal expressions and different expressions. Seeing this scene, Malashenko could basically understand how irritating these guys were by what he just said.

Of course, this also reflects from the side how miserable the group of people in front of them were dealt with by the Germans on the battlefield. Otherwise, even if Malashenko beat him to death, he would not believe that these John Bulls and cowboys who were born with their nostrils in the sky could do it. With this bird-like appearance, it is estimated that some of the dissatisfied people have come out to argue with me, and only after seeing the real performance of the leader division on the battlefield can they be so calm.

There is no way, the gap is just a gap, and it is still a ridiculously big gap.

The Germans who beat you like dogs on the ground on the Western Front will only die if you are pressed to the ground and rubbed by me. You can't accept it even if you don't accept it. This is the best expression of strength and the gap.

However, Malashenko did not mean to humiliate these people. He just mentioned it casually. The real purpose was to teach these British and Americans a good lesson.

Not to mention passing on all the real skills to them, at least let them understand how to better fight against the German sticks. Otherwise, if they really give themselves a negative score and a bad review, what if it affects the cross-bordering of the big shots in the upper echelons? It's not a good idea to barter, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

If these British guys and Americans can be sent away safely and satisfactorily, that will naturally be the best situation in which everyone is happy.

After thinking for a moment and organizing his words, Malashenko continued to speak after figuring out what to say.

"The choice of tactics should be determined according to the actual situation. It does not mean that one tactic can always cope with all kinds of situations. If there is such a universal tactic that can make the war so easy to fight, like a child playing house, then this war, or our enemy, is it too simple? Is it necessary to fight to the extent it is today?"

"Take the battlefield situation faced by our division at that time as an example. The Germans had been operating the defense of the salient for quite a long time, and they anticipated in advance that we would launch an eradication and interception battle against the salient. Therefore, in the direction where the battle at the root of the salient may break out, the defense line is built particularly solid, with sufficient anti-armor technology and weapons, and the tiered defense configuration is particularly perfect."

" If, in this situation, a large number of armored forces are deployed at once to launch a rapid penetration and cutting battle with the accelerator pressed to the bottom, regardless of what the final result will be, it will inevitably suffer huge casualties. "

"The large armored forces that penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland will quickly lose touch with the rear troops as they continue to advance. Some relatively low-mobility supporting arms will find it difficult to keep up with this mobility speed, and the comprehensive offensive force will inevitably be greatly weakened. "

"What is gaining and losing is the German tiered defense configuration that becomes stronger the deeper the breakthrough. Once the situation of the enemy being strong and we being weak is formed, it will be difficult to quickly reverse this situation in a short period of time. The armored forces that penetrate deep into the ground formation will become isolated and helpless, and the offensive energy will be greatly weakened after continuous and uninterrupted attack. The continuous advancement has been greatly consumed and there is little left. This is exactly the best time for the Germans to launch a counterattack. "

"With huge casualties and a painful offensive failure, if the Germans can invest enough decisive counterattack forces, they can not only drive me and my troops out of the position, but also seize our offensive starting position. This situation is not empty talk. I believe that some of you may have experienced this on the Western Front. "

"Don't rush for success, and advance steadily step by step in a steady and steady manner. Every step forward is airtight, so that the Germans can't catch our flaws. As long as they dare to launch a counterattack, they will die faster, because there are no weaknesses in our tactics and offensive. "

"We will eat up the Germans' carefully arranged echelon defense positions one by one, just like cutting sausages, with the least risk of failure and the least cost of casualties."

"And under the strong and complete systematic cooperation of multiple arms, the progress of this offensive is not slow. Compared with the traditional armored forces' single-point breakthrough and then rapid penetration, and the follow-up troops follow up to expand the results of the battle, the difference in attack speed can be ignored. You have also seen this in actual combat."

After saying so much, Malashenko quietly stopped talking here, raised his right hand slightly and made a light clenching gesture, and closed his five fingers, as if an invisible big hand covering the battlefield grabbed a group of German sticks to death.

"I will know this tactic and understand the best way to crack it, because the Germans themselves are copying us. The Battle of Kursk made these Germans very painful and completely remembered. They learned the deep echelon defense of the Red Army's large corps in the frontal decisive battle, but they did not learn the essence of it, and they did not know how to use the best counter-tactics to target it."
