Chapter 1136 (1/2)
The eastern sun gradually exposed the horizon and dyed the whole horizon red. The scorching sun was like blood and the morning glow was like blood. It was red everywhere.
The cold wind blew across the stri River, across the grass on the river bank, on the steel chariot.
General Felix, the commander of the Viking division, sat on his Tiger tank, exposed half of his body and looked at his East, where the Soviet tank troops were located.
The scouts have been sent out. Through the radio, the war situation is gradually summarized to him. The Soviet tank soldiers have started to start the tank engine and are ready to attack their own side!
”Attention, form a bell battle formation and prepare for the battle.” Felix issued a combat mission to his tank troops on the radio: ”opposite us is the Soviet tank division that has been attacked by our air force many times. Now let's ring the death knell for the Soviet tank division!”
Tanks can not rush into battle. We must pay attention to tactics. Especially the formation of impact.
In later generations, the U.S. tank forces charged in a swarm, because the U.S. Army was invincible, and their opponents were very weak. Moreover, the U.S. tanks popularized GPS, and the location of friendly forces was clear at a glance.
But not in this era. In the war, they must make targeted formation according to different combat objectives. In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, in the desert, goodrian began to study tank tactics with a group of people.
The latest armored textbook, forward, tank, It is a detailed discussion and research, absolute internal reference.
Generally speaking, the battle formation of German armored forces can be divided into armored formation and mixed formation according to the size of strengthened forces, battlefield terrain, current enemy situation and superior tasks.
Among them, armored formation refers to the combat formation composed of tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, motorcycles, engineering vehicles and other vehicles with roughly equal mobility and defense; The hybrid formation is a combat formation composed of the above vehicles and foot infantry.
At the same time, tank troops do not fight alone. We must also pay attention to the support of aviation troops above them.
The main principles followed by the classification of combat formation are: flexibility and mobility, advantages and firepower.
The first half of the sentence means that the battle formation should be as simple and easy to use as possible to deal with different unexpected situations on the battlefield. When fighting with the same opponent at the same time, at the same place, the overall firepower formed by the combat formation is dominant, that is, the concentration of firepower.
To be more specific, the most basic unit of the German armored combat formation is based on the tank platoon, which is roughly divided into these types: column formation, echelon formation, line formation, echelon formation, triangle formation, ”wedge” formation, ”edge” formation and ”bell” formation.
Among them, the final ”bell” battle formation is the acme of the development of tank forces.
Among the German tank forces, there are already heavy tanks such as Tiger tanks and medium tanks such as Panther 3 tanks. If they are mixed and arranged, they can play a better role.
Now, for example, the tank soldiers of the Viking division are quickly arranged according to this formation.
