Chapter 839 Dispersed Defense

First place in the monthly ticket list of categories, thank you for your support, but the second place will soon catch up... The soldier just wants to ask, can the soldier stay in this position for a few more days to rest his eyes? Soldier has been writing books for more than ten years, and has never been first in the monthly ticket list of categories, even if it is just categories.

Qin Chuan realized at the first time that the Soviets had discovered the weakness of ME63.

The reason is very simple. It is obviously prepared in advance to suppress the artillery fire of the ME63 launch position in such a short time.

So, Qin Chuan immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Mortar, pay attention to concealment!"

In Qin Chuan's view, the most important thing is always the lives of these elites under his command. ME63 or whether it can hit the target is secondary, because the time and energy consumed in training a group of elite soldiers cannot be compensated by these equipment.

However, on the battlefield, this thing is often in a contradictory state. For example, now, blindly protecting soldiers means letting Soviet tanks break into the defense line and start a massacre.

Perhaps because of this, or perhaps because they were unwilling to give up their goals and stick to their posts, quite a number of operators did not obey Qin Chuan's orders and continued to control the ME63 to fly towards the target...

This cannot be blamed on them, because there is such a subject in training, which is to eliminate all interference and concentrate on aiming at the target, including the bullets and shells fired at them.

So, with a burst of explosions, more than 20 Soviet tanks in the front were blown up, but almost immediately after, mortar shells hit the ME63 position fiercely, bursting out bursts of radiant smoke.

"There are casualties in the first company!"

"Two operators of the second company were killed!"

...

Casualties were reported to Qin Chuan one after another from the small walkie-talkie.

"Move position!" Qin Chuan ordered: "Pay attention to concealment!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and immediately moved along the communication trench.

The next second, a large number of shells whizzed in the direction of the Soviet army... Those were the Soviet army's large-caliber howitzers, and these dense shells almost turned the ME63 launch array upside down.

"Attention, all units!" Qin Chuan ordered into the walkie-talkie: "The enemy may have known the weakness of ME63, disperse the defense!"

"Yes, disperse the defense!"

"Disperse the defense!"

...

This is the advantage of the small walkie-talkie. Its communication enables Qin Chuan to pass orders to the 1st Infantry Regiment anytime and anywhere, so that the 1st Infantry Regiment can make flexible and targeted responses according to the situation.

ME63 does have weaknesses. As mentioned before, it needs to be continuously controlled and is easily interfered with and suppressed by artillery fire.

If it was before, the German army would easily solve this problem... The German army has always occupied air superiority, and air superiority will affect the artillery battle next.

Because as soon as the Soviet artillery opens fire, its artillery positions will immediately be exposed to the sight of German pilots, and then the German army can use bombers, fighters and artillery to suppress the Soviet artillery positions.

On the contrary, the Soviet army, which has lost air superiority, cannot do this.

But now the Soviet Air Force has a numerical advantage: 1,500 fighters of various types against 700 German fighters.

Although the 1,500 Soviet fighters may still be defeated, the reason is that the performance of German fighters, especially the quality of pilots, is much better than that of Soviet pilots, which leads to the fact that most of the planes shot down in the sky with black smoke are from the Soviet Air Force.

The problem is...

The advantage in numbers determines that the Soviet Air Force can do what the German Air Force can do.

Simply put, the Soviet Air Force could not suppress the German artillery before, and could not even use reconnaissance aircraft to guide its own artillery to suppress the enemy's artillery positions. But now these are no longer a problem.

Therefore, it is difficult to tell the winner between the enemy and us. Even the Soviet army, which has a large number of artillery and is equipped with a large number of "Katyusha" rocket launchers, has an advantage.

The result is that the ME63 will be suppressed by the Soviet artillery fire like before.

But as the saying goes, "the higher the road, the higher the devil."

Qin Chuan had long considered that there would be such a weakness that would be discovered by the enemy and then suppressed by artillery fire.

It is actually very simple to deal with this kind of artillery suppression. It is not possible to use Me63 in a concentrated manner as before, but to disperse it throughout the entire front.

The low accuracy of artillery fire determines that it is more used to cover the target. If the target is scattered, then the artillery coverage suppression will basically lose its effect... unless the Soviet army can cover every scattered ME63 launch point on the front line.

But if the Soviet army has so many artillery and shells to do this, there is no need to do this at all, because these artillery and shells are enough to knock down all the German tanks and easily win.

Therefore, the original ME63 was to build several ME63 positions on favorable terrain in battalions or companies depending on the situation. After receiving the order, they immediately dispersed to the two wings with the original position as the center.

Soon, the German positions flashed a series of ME63 tracks again, and one by one accurately destroyed the tanks on the way to attack.

But objectively speaking, there is still a great disadvantage between dispersed defense and the previous concentrated defense.

This weakness is mainly due to the problem of logistics supply:

When concentrating defense, the ME63 position can be marked to the logistics troops in advance, so the logistics troops know exactly where the ammunition supplies should be sent or when they will be sent forward, especially ME63.

Decentralized defense is not so easy. Anti-tank teams often randomly find a suitable position. Some teams even adopt guerrilla tactics and move while fighting. The logistics troops did not know their specific location at all, so they did not know where to send the ammunition.

And because the ME63 itself is not light, weighing more than 20 kilograms, the eight members of the team not only have their own guns and ammunition, but also two rocket launchers (used for close anti-tank, which is very heavy for the anti-tank team). Very necessary), it is already good to be able to bring two or three ME63.

So overall, the role that ME63 can play will definitely be limited.

On the other hand, the Soviet army's suppression of ME63 was not just artillery coverage.

When Rotmistrov launched the attack, he told everyone about the weakness of the enemy's "tracking rockets"... This was a good opportunity for the Soviet army to increase their morale. Of course, as a commander, he would not let it go easily. Passed.

"We captured two 'tracking rockets' from the Germans!" Rotmistrov said with a proud tone: "Then we discovered its secret, which is why it was able to change its trajectory and finally hit us. The secret of the tank... Do you believe it? The Germans added a wire behind the rocket and then controlled the flight direction of the rocket through this wire!"

These words caused great repercussions among Soviet officers.

Although they generally think this approach is very creative, at least once they know how it works, they will not believe that the Germans have any magic.

"Comrade Rotmistrov!" someone asked: "Even though we know this, how are we going to solve this problem? I mean, when this rocket is coming towards us... we can't avoid it because it It will change the trajectory, which means that no matter how we avoid it, it will be useless!”

"It's very simple!" Rotmistrov replied: "You have to know that they have a person controlling the rocket in the launching position. Therefore, if you can use a machine gun to hit the place where the rocket was launched in time, A round of bullets..."
