Chapter 775 Anti-Tank Trenches (Plus 3)

At nightfall, the main force behind arrived, and as the main person in charge of the British campaign, Guderian also appeared in front of Dietrich.

Germany has created new tactics, and the blitzkrieg has fooled the enemy, but the British were able to creatively come up with anti-tank fortifications at such a time!

The British did hit Germany's soft underbelly.

Almost all German tanks are in the field. The last time they fought in Exeter, it showed the shortcomings of tanks in urban combat. Now, they have to attack big cities like London.

How to do?

The British creatively dug out anti-tank trenches to hinder the German army's attack. Yes, this is a problem placed in front of the German army.

The trenches of the First World War have come in handy here again.

"The British are behind the anti-tank trench, waiting for us." Guderian's face was calm: "The British are testing to see if we dare to cross this anti-tank trench."

"Now, the best way is to build a bridge." Dietrich said. When the sky was still bright, he had observed the opposite side countless times, and then thought about how to solve this problem.

If there is no water, it will be better. Now the other party has actually brought the river water, so the best way is to build a bridge.

"No." Armored Meier, the division commander of the Skeleton Division, said: "If there is no water in it, we can build a bridge almost. Now, this anti-tank trench is filled with water, and the soil on both sides is soft, even if we build a bridge. , it cannot guarantee safety, and it is very likely that the bridge erected will collapse during the operation."

Their subordinates are all the most elite troops, and the tank soldiers are also veterans. No matter how narrow the bridge is, they dare to step on the accelerator to move over, but not now, the tank weighs 40 tons, and once it collapses, the tank will easily Flip down.

Meier is experienced and can see the danger at a glance. If they are allowed to watch the Panther 3 tanks roll over from behind, it will simply make them suffer.

"How about we use a bulldozer?" Rejecting Dietrich's plan, Meier came up with his own idea.

Bulldozers are also an important solution for dealing with trenches. You must know that there are not so many mechanical equipment in this era, and there are not a large number of Lanxiang Academy graduates to operate.

The anti-tank trenches here are almost all dug out manually.

Those soils were piled next to the trenches, so as long as the bulldozer was driven over, the trenches could be filled up in one go.

Ordinary bulldozers are definitely not good, but even if some armored bulldozers are temporarily modified, or even a shovel is added in front of the tank to bulldoze, there is no problem.

Refill!

Now, it was Dietrich's turn to deny him.

"No, you haven't been in front." Dietrich said: "The British are very cunning. The dirt is piled on their side. There must be a defense master on the opposite side."

Generally speaking, when digging trenches, the excavated soil is piled up in front of oneself, so that the soil is used as a parapet to increase the height of defense. This is almost the orthodox textbook in the infantry drill.

Well, when it comes to digging tank trenches, it's pretty much the same thing.

However, the British did not do this. The British piled the soil on their side, so that even if they wanted to use the bulldozer, they would have no soil to push. It was such an embarrassment.

Moreover, when one's own tank is driven over, it happens to be going uphill, exposing the most vulnerable bottom, so that it can be easily hit by the opponent's anti-tank fire!

One by one, the plans were rejected. Even Guderian frowned at this time. This time, he was indeed in trouble.

If you don't care about the cost, it can be conquered. For example, applying from the rear to mobilize amphibious tanks to pass through such a trench with water can be said to be like a duck in water.

However, they could not gain the upper hand.

The armor of the amphibious tanks is too thin, although they can get through this small trench, but after the past? Their armor can't even stop a large-caliber anti-tank gun, and they have to be blown up one by one when they pass!

For the same reason, their infantry fighting vehicles with water wading capabilities cannot rush to the forefront, and they are not beaten.

After some lively discussions, after all the proposals were rejected, the scene was finally cold.

Everyone is thinking hard, what is the way to get through this anti-tank trench at the least cost?

Moreover, it must be the main tank, enough to withstand any anti-tank fire from the opponent!

At the same time when the front line was blocked, the news also spread back to Paris. Cyric, who was still commanding operations in Paris, was also stunned when he heard the situation on the front line.

Generally speaking, Cyric is in charge of strategic movements, such as the army's attack, landing in the UK, and how to develop in the future, etc. Generally, he is not responsible for specific tactics, which should be the responsibility of the front-line commander.

And now, the British people came up with a modern moat, which made Cyric stunned. It seems that the British are really good at using their brains.

Everyone has infinite potential. When they are driven to a dead end, they are more likely to burst out with this energy. Now is a living example.

"The British really have ideas." Cyric said, "I think we should just show off Dr. Porsche's new toy, and let the British have a taste of what it's like to be crushed head-on."

Dr. Porsche's new toy? Hearing this, the people present were stunned for a moment, and the fat Scherner immediately said: "The project of Dr. Porsche is still not going well. There are various technical failures that cannot be overcome. Now Just take it to the battlefield, right?"

"Weapons are meant to be used." Cyric said, "Since there is a need, let's take it to the battlefield and see."

"What if that doesn't work?" Keitel asked.

"No? There's nothing wrong. If it doesn't work, just blow up the Teddington Barrage. Don't the British like to play with water? Let them play enough at one time!" Cyric's words were stern.

If that dam were to blow up, the whole of London would be covered in floods!

The last time I used fire to kill a city, this time I used water! In short, since the British are not as cooperative as the French and surrender obediently, let them know how powerful they are!

Surrender or die!
