Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 475 Tank Bunker
War is sometimes unclear, and after one problem is solved, another problem arises.

There are even many problems that cannot be considered or solved before the war at all, and they must be fought to find out.

The Eighth Route Army waited for a total of five days, and it was not until the fifth day that the Yuncheng Railway Station was repaired... This is easy to observe, because on this day the train has already driven into the city along the railway line to unload.

So the headquarters gave an order, and the independent group marched towards Yuncheng that night.

The three stores are only more than 26 kilometers away from the front line. This distance only takes more than an hour at the speed of T[-], but it took the Eighth Route Army a whole night to prepare.

The main reason is that the T26 marches at night and dare not turn on the lights... Driving to the front is different from marching to the rear. The further south you go, the closer you are to the devil's blockade. The closer you are to the devil's blockade, the more devil spies and scouts will be there. .

If you move forward with the lights on, a few devil scouts ambushing in the jungle will be able to spot this tank unit, so the battle of the Eighth Route Army will not be sudden.

Therefore, the T26 is completely moving forward in the dark, and it has been fully camouflaged, such as turning the turret back and turning the barrel backward, and then wrapping it with canvas and branches for camouflage.

Then advance in batches with companies as units... Too many tanks marching at the same time are worried that the sound will be too loud to expose the target.

In addition, the route the tank passed was also searched several times by the local troops to ensure that there were no devil scouts on both sides of the road.

In the end, batches of tanks secretly drove to the front line, including T34.

All tanks were hidden in bunkers specially prepared for tanks as soon as they arrived at the front line.

The tank bunker is actually very simple. It is to dig an inverted trapezoidal pit on the ground, the width is slightly larger than the tank, and the depth is about the same as the height of the tank.

As long as the tank is driven into the bunker, the entire body will be submerged in the ground. If the surface is covered with a layer of canvas and camouflage, even enemy infantry will not be able to find the tank in front of them.

This tank bunker is a routine task assigned by Wang Xuexin to the infantry who follow them. They must be able to modify a trench, a bomb crater or even an anti-tank trench into a tank bunker in a short time at any time. If there are no conditions, they must create conditions.

Modern tank combat does not have this item, but Wang Xuexin still has to do it.

The reason is very simple. This is to solve the contradiction of tank tactics mentioned earlier:
Tanks in this era do not have the ability to fight at night and must fight during the day, so tanks must face enemy aircraft.

Although there were not many planes that the Eighth Route Army had to face in this battle, there is a saying that it is to be prepared. Wang Xuexin believes that every battle needs to be fully prepared.

There are tank bunkers... Once an enemy plane is found, the tank immediately drives into the bunker to hide, and then a layer of canvas similar to the color of loess will be covered on the top.

Jag pilots have a top-down view, and it is difficult for them to spot a tank that is concealed in this way.

On the other hand, there is no communication between the devil infantry and the pilots in this era.

Therefore, even if the devil infantry watched the tank hide in the bunker and knew the position of the tank, they still could not tell the plane and guide it to bomb.

Taking a step back, even if the aircraft found the location of the tank, it would be difficult for it to accurately drop the bomb into the narrow tank bunker to blow it up.

Therefore, the tank bunker is effective in dealing with the devil's air power, but it is relatively passive... If the devil's plane keeps circling in the air, will the tank be unable to fight?
It took a whole night to get ready, and the accident that happened was that two T26s broke down on the way, but after emergency repairs by Maoxiong technicians, they finally arrived at the destination before dawn and got ready.

Androvich also came along as an advisor to the tank battalion. He didn't know the specific plan, but when he saw the formation, he asked Wang Xuexin worriedly: "Comrade battalion commander, wouldn't you send troops to the battlefield to fight the enemy like this?" Bar?"

"Is there any problem?" Wang Xuexin asked back: "Do you think they are not trained enough?"

"No..." Androvich shook his head: "Our tank crews may not have undergone such training, so your training level is almost the same!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement. The death rate of Mao Xiong’s early war pilots and tank crews was very high, so it didn’t take long for tank crews to be sent to the battlefield after simple training on how to operate.

In this comparison, the average training time of the tank crews of the Eighth Route Army is quite good.

"Then what are you worried about?" Wang Xuexin asked.

Androvich leaned forward and said in a low voice: "With all due respect, Comrade Battalion Commander! You are going to die, because I heard that the enemy has at least several hundred tanks, and a considerable part of them are Type 97! Menhan fought with those guys, their tanks are not very good, but their training level is much higher!"

"I know, Comrade Androvich!" Wang Xuexin replied.

Wang Xuexin felt a little funny in his heart, a guy like Androvich who emphasized "spiritual atomic bomb" would actually say such a thing.

Shouldn't he have said: "Good job, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, as long as we have enough courage, we can defeat the enemy, and victory will always belong to us!"?
Androvich seemed to see Wang Xuexin's doubts, so he explained: "I have learned a lot from you, Comrade Battalion Commander! So I gradually discovered... many times it is not a question of courage, but a question of tactics and methods!"

So Wang Xuexin understood.

To put it bluntly, "spiritual atomic bomb" is idealism, and its essence is no different from feudal superstition.

For example, feudal superstition talks about what will happen if you pray to God and worship Buddha.

The "spiritual atomic bomb" applies this method to the military... As long as you have enough courage and determination, you can defeat all enemies.

The best way to break the feudal superstition is to learn and speak science.

The best way to break the feudal superstition in the military is tactics and practice.

Androvich learned many tactics from Wang Xuexin. Although he has not practiced it yet, he knows that these tactics are reasonable based on his own experience.

So Androvich suddenly realized: the reason why a certain battle failed was not because he was not brave enough as the commander said, but because he used the wrong tactics.In addition, there was a certain battle as well.And another time...

The result is that Wang Xuexin successfully led Androvich to complete the transformation from idealism to materialism, and Wang Xuexin didn't even realize it until then.

"Don't worry, Comrade Androvich!" Wang Xuexin said: "Since you believe in my tactics, you should know that I will not command indiscriminately, let alone let my soldiers die meaninglessly, don't you think so?"

Androvich nodded, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "Comrade battalion commander, I hope to participate in this battle. I will be a very good commander. I can drive a T34 with my subordinates to fight. what do you think?"

Wang Xuexin was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Do you need to burn sweet potatoes?"

Androvich laughed out loud.
