Chapter 308 Situation in January 915 (Silver Alliance 1/10)

Wang Zhong: "How is it, not bad?"

"Very good," Yegorov nodded, "In fact, I am satisfied if it can break the track. This thing can not only break the track!"

Wang Zhong: "It can also destroy the enemy's sighting system. If you hit the side, it can even penetrate the Type 3 tank."

After all, this thing has a caliber of 40 mm.

And the machine gun has another advantage: you don't need to aim carefully, just hit the weak point and penetrate it when the chance comes. The Type 3 tank as the target should be on fire in this way.

Wang Zhong: "Aim at the Type 4 tank and see how this gun performs against the best armor protection of Proson now."

In fact, the Type 4 here with Wang Zhong and his team can no longer represent the best armor protection of Proson. The Type 4 with better protection has appeared on the battlefield, and there are various battlefield modifications.

However, Wang Zhong did not expect Bofors to be the main anti-tank force, just to try to see if it can penetrate.

The Crusaders fired without saying a word, and directly shot a lot of smoke and dust around the Type 4 tank.

After firing about 20 rounds, Wang Zhong ordered to stop firing.

The No. 4 tank did not catch fire.

After checking, the target inspector reported through the walkie-talkie: "One tank member was injured. The preliminary judgment is that the shrapnel flew in from the observation port and injured the member. In addition, the tank turret seat ring was stuck. We tested it and it could not turn. The track was also broken."

Wang Zhong clapped his hands: "Okay! How about it, Yegorov, do you want it?"

"I just said I want it! How can I not want this good thing?" Yegorov said.

In fact, it is not necessary to reduce the enemy members to less than two people to destroy a tank on the battlefield. Damaging the track and jamming the seat ring can basically make the crew abandon the vehicle.

If the driver is killed through the observation port, the crew will generally abandon the vehicle.

Wang Zhong remembered that in Carius' autobiography "Tiger in the Mud", he drove a 38T tank on the battlefield for the first time, and in the end a member was killed, so the whole vehicle was abandoned.

The tankers of San Dezi were required to be able to play any position, but they still abandoned the vehicle because it was difficult to quickly move the dead members on the battlefield, and the bodies would take up space.

At this time, they could only abandon the vehicle, and after the battle was over and the battlefield was controlled, the bodies would be dragged out, the vehicle would be repaired, and the crew would be assembled with other crews to form a complete crew, so that a tank would regain its combat effectiveness.

In this case, the machine gun that can stably destroy the enemy tank tracks and jam the turret ring, and even injure one enemy, is much more useful on the battlefield than in the game.

And this thing can also defend against air attacks.

No, its main job is to defend against air attacks, but it is the fate of every excellent anti-aircraft gun not to be used for air defense.

After testing the Bofors on the Crusader anti-aircraft gun, Wang Zhong looked forward to the double-barreled anti-aircraft gun he was going to build after the Bofors production line was completed.

For the next half a month, Wang Zhong spent his time working non-stop.

During this time, Wang Zhong remembered his social life before he crossed over, going to work, working, and working overtime. If it weren't for the beautiful fiancée and the pretty maid who greeted him when he got home, Wang Zhong would have thought he was back on Earth.

On January 29, Wang Zhong's motorcade had just arrived at the gate of his manor when he saw another military vehicle coming from the road on the other side of the gate. General Gorky in the car waved to him repeatedly.

A moment later, Wang Zhong hugged General Gorky at the gate of his manor.

Wang Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still did not follow Su Xunzong's example. Instead, he pulled away and asked, "Why did you come back?"

General Gorky: "The situation on the front line has stabilized. I spent half a month carefully investigating the terrain on the front line, preparing to launch an offensive to delay some enemy forces when the enemy attacks from the south in March and April."

Wang Zhong: "It's not easy to fight in the fortified area, right?"

"Yes, but after reconnaissance, I found a new crossing on the Duva River. Tanks can wade through, and there is no enemy defense on the other side. I plan to use this crossing."

Wang Zhong: "Have you tried it? Isn't the Duva River frozen now?"

General Gorky: "The locals said they can cross the river on foot. I think tanks should have no problem."

Wang Zhong: "It's better to investigate more."

He vaguely remembered that the first attack of the Soviet army on Earth on Zhelefu was due to the problem of crossing the river. The follow-up troops could not keep up, and the troops that had crossed the river were counterattacked by the Sandezi Armored Division and finally failed.

General Gorky: "I have a feeling that the attack will not work, but there is no other way to delay Proson's army except the attack. If Proson concentrates his superior forces on the southern line, the situation will be worse. We can't lose the oil fields in Kuba.

"The support of the United States is always subject to the constraints of transportation capacity. If they don't have to allocate transportation capacity to transport oil, they can give us more other things."

Now new United States supplies are sent to Ant every day, which continuously transfuse blood to Ant.

But now, after all, the war has just started, and the United States has not completed the industrial transformation and mobilization, and has not started mass production of a free ship per day. The current transportation capacity constraints are still quite serious.

At this time, Lyudmila, who came to greet him, asked: "Is it okay for you to talk about military affairs like this? Will it be heard by spies?"

General Gorky: "No problem, just like last year everyone knew that the enemy would definitely attack Yebao, and the enemy would focus on the southern line. It is almost an open secret. The problem is where they will attack specifically. "

Wang Zhong added: "Most of the strategic issues are conspiracies, which are laid out on the surface. Only in tactics can we carry out various tactical deceptions. However, no matter where the enemy wants to attack, he must first penetrate our coastal areas." Fortress - Bolsk Line, Prince Myshkin is there."

Lyudmila: "Oh, it's the sick prince. I saw him in Shepetovka. I don't know if he is better."

Wang Zhong: "I don't know."

Based on Wang Zhong's impression of Duke Meishkin when he met him, he speculated that the Duke had tuberculosis, which was now a terminal illness and could only prolong his life.

The good news is that the Duke's symptoms are still relatively mild, and he should be in the early stages. Going to a place with fresh air to recuperate may be able to wait until human medicine can overcome this difficulty.

It's not clear now.

Lyudmila added: "Should you go to the study to continue chatting, or should you eat first?"

Wang Zhong: "I chose to eat in the study and let Nellie push it over in a trolley."

"Okay. Nellie, let me prepare with you."

Neli looked at Lyudmila with the same expression she usually gave Wang Zhong: "Miss, go into the kitchen and make nothing but salad."

Does Lyudmila still have the ability to turn rice into poison? Do you want it to be so two-dimensional?

Wang Zhong complained in his heart and patted General Gorky on the shoulder: "Let's go and let the girls do their work. There are also waffles in my room. You can fill your stomach before the meal comes."

General Gorky: "Waffles don't matter. Do you have Coke? They say Coke is considered a luxury product and the amount of aid is very small."

Wang Zhong: "Yes, of course. I have enough Coke here."

"Then let's go."

A moment later, in Wang Zhong's study, General Gorky drank a third of the bottle of Coke in one gulp, and then burped with satisfaction.

Wang Zhong asked: "There is no Coke on the front line. What is the supply situation of other supplies?"

General Gorky: "It's not bad so far. We originally planned to ration food to the hired workers, but Spam cans have changed this. Currently, the front lines are well fed and clothed, and the soldiers are clamoring for an attack.

"But we have just added new recruits. These are new recruits who have only been trained for a few months. We will use them to attack..."

The general shook his head and continued drinking Coke.

Wang Zhong: "If the enemy can be allowed to attack and our army trains new recruits in defense relying on solid positions, the situation will be better."

But the enemy's main attack direction is the southern line, where there is only a solid fortified line of defense at first, and the rest is the Great Plains. If a unit with many new recruits fights against the Prosen Army, which is mostly veterans, in such a place, there will definitely be huge casualties.

————

"The new recruits our army is currently recruiting are all mobilized reserves, and there are only a very small number of pure recruits who have just come out of the recruit training camp."

Prosen Empire, Eagle's Nest.

Chief of the Imperial General Staff William Kelt reported: “In view of the current situation on the front line, we have withdrawn all major combat troops.

"Some units of Army Group Center and Army Group South with particularly heavy losses were sent to Agsukov for rest and recuperation. It is expected that the recuperation will end in March."

Emperor Reinhard: "What about the equipment replenishment?"

Wilhelm von Moltke, who was removed from the front line and concentrated on serving as director of armored forces, reported: "The current Panzer IV equipped with KWK40 artillery has begun mass production. After all, it is just a modification and does not require large-scale improvements to the production line. , the workers are also relatively skilled.

"The problem now is that we originally produced the Panzer IV as an infantry tank, and basically maintained a three-to-one ratio with the Panzer III, which is mainly responsible for armored warfare.

"The same goes for the production lines. Three factories are producing Panzer III tanks, while only one factory is producing Panzer IV tanks. To convert the No. 3 production line into producing Panzer IV tanks, it will take eight months of modification time. The current production capacity of Panzer IV tanks is insufficient. In fact, the production capacity of No. 3 is insufficient.

"In view of the fact that the current war on the Eastern Front may turn into a tragic war of attrition, I recommend general mobilization to fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient production capacity."

Reinhard waved his hand: "No, we wiped out millions of Ant troops last year and captured 1.5 million prisoners. This inferior race does not need our mobilization at all. At present, with our combat effectiveness , there is still hope that the war will end this year!

“The effort to capture the capital and weaken the enemy’s will to fight has failed, but the possibility of attacking the enemy’s resource base and forcing the enemy to surrender still exists!

"it's here!"

Reinhard pressed his finger heavily on the Kuba area on the map.

"Take away the oil fields here, and on the way to attack, we will also seize the enemy's main coal-producing areas. By then, the Ant people will not even have fuel for heating. They will have to choose between freezing to death or surrendering!"

At this time, Army Commander-in-Chief Walter von Bryan said: "However, the enemy also knows this. Didn't Rabeville already get the intelligence from the Clutter Bureau?"

Reinhardt: "Everyone knows this kind of thing. Your task is to find a shortcut to achieve your goal, just like what happened in the Ardennes Forest."

He looked around the room, and finally looked at Air Force Commander Grand Duke Meyer: "When will Ant's muddy period end?"

Theoretically, meteorology is under the control of the Air Force, although the Army also has its own meteorological department.

Archduke Meyer replied: "April."

Reinhardt: "Then we will launch the spring offensive in April. The first phase goal is to break through the enemy's defense line from the Primorsky Fortress to Borsk. In the second phase, we will gallop across the entire southern plains and strive to annihilate about one million Ante troops, making it completely impossible for them to protect Kuba!"
