Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 959 Difficulties
In fact, it is not just Wang Xuexin and the chief who are worrying about the "blitzkrieg", Kono Shinta is also worried about it.

Kono was really worried because Ningji Okamura asked him, a military adviser, to act as a staff member to organize this "blitzkrieg" against the Eighth Route Army's "High Fire" and X1.

Before implementing it, Kono Shinta thought it was not difficult.

Because he knows how to fight a "blitzkrieg", Okamura Ningji has an army in his hands, so at most he can organize a few exercises, how difficult can it be to fight a "blitzkrieg"?

However, after he actually came into contact with the imperial army, he realized that this was not the case.

The first is the hardware aspect.

Not to mention that the imperial army has no paratroopers to use, and the communication equipment is far below the requirements of the "blitzkrieg". What's more serious is the transport of mechanized troops...

The main force used by Hans to transport troops is the half-track armored vehicle, while the devil is a car.

There is no need to say more about the difference between the two.

Cars have almost no protective armor. If they are ambushed by the enemy while running on the road, the people in the car will be shot in groups. If it is not for the weak firepower of the Eighth Route Army, this method of transport by the devils can almost be said to be killing people.

Half-track armored vehicles are different.

Its armor protection can block bullets and shrapnel, providing a certain amount of cover for the soldiers on board.

More importantly, because of its "half-track", half-track armored vehicles have much stronger off-road capabilities than cars. It can be said that half-track vehicles can basically go where tanks can go.

The latter is quite important.

Because if in some areas, tanks can walk but cars cannot, the infantry will have to get out of the vehicle and follow up on foot, and the speed of the tanks will also have to slow down to wait for the infantry, so the marching speed is the infantry's walking speed.

But if the half-track armored vehicles used by the infantry can go where the tanks can, even faster than the tanks, then the marching speed is calculated at the speed of the tanks.

The speed of infantry and the speed of tanks are one in the sky and one in the ground, not to mention that half-track armored vehicles also have advantages such as firepower, protection, and transportation capabilities that infantry cannot match.

Shinta Kono said to Ningji Okamura: "It is only possible to fight 'blitzkrieg' if the speed is fast. If our army uses cars, which rely heavily on roads for transportation, it is easy to be blocked by the enemy on the road and fall into a bitter battle. Unable to carry out 'Blitz'!"

This made Ningji Okamura a little embarrassed.

Because all along, the armored vehicles developed by the Empire are actually in the wrong direction.

The armored vehicles of other countries, if they have a small crew and weak firepower, are basically used by security forces for low-intensity operations against guerrillas, and are rarely incorporated into regular troops for use on the battlefield.

Because the survivability of this kind of armored vehicle on the battlefield is too weak, the armor will be penetrated by heavy machine guns, and the firepower is only machine guns, which is simply a tasteless existence.

If the crew is more used for troop transport, you can take infantry and tanks to cooperate.

The Empire puts the armored vehicles that were originally used for policing operations directly into the battlefield... and it seems to be useful.

This is mainly because the empire's battlefield is in China, and it is facing a Chinese army with insufficient firepower, so even armored vehicles can walk sideways.

For example, the Empire's Type 90 armored vehicles and Type 91 armored vehicles once appeared on the frontal battlefield of the Songhu Battle.

However, there is a saying that is "born in sorrow and died in peace".

It is precisely because the empire's opponents are too weak that the empire's existing backward equipment and tactics can meet the needs, so the empire's military industry has not thought about making progress and failed to keep pace with the times to develop equipment that keeps up with the times.

For example, the Type 90 armored vehicle can only have 3 members.

Another example is the Type 91 armored vehicle, which has 4 members.

It is clearly inappropriate to use them as armored personnel carriers.

(Note: The Devil’s type I half-track armored personnel carrier was not in service until 43, and it can carry 15 people)
After thinking about it, Okamura Ningji said: "Then, Kono-kun! If speed and off-road ability are emphasized, I think it can be replaced by a sidecar motorcycle (side three-wheeled)!"

Kono Shinta frowned, then nodded helplessly and said, "That's the only way to go!"

Bian Sanlun can only be said to barely meet the standard.

Because compared with tracked armored vehicles, it has disadvantages such as weak transportation capacity, insufficient protection, and insufficient firepower.

However, in the absence of other means of transportation, the off-road capability of the three-wheeler can still keep up with the tank.

In terms of the choice of tanks, Kono Shinta was beyond Okamura Neiji's expectations. He did not choose the first "Type 97" tank of the Empire, nor did he choose the Type 95, which is known as the main force of the Empire's tanks. Instead, he chose a small tank. , Type [-] tank with weak firepower.

In this regard, Okamura Ningji reminded: "Kono-kun, you may not understand that the enemy is equipped with T34 tanks from Maokuma, and the Type 95 light tanks have no chance of winning against them. In addition, the enemy is also equipped with T50 tanks. A large number of 'shoulder-fired spray bombs', they call 'rockets', this equipment can penetrate at least 95MM armor, while the frontal armor of the Type 12 Light Warfare is only [-]MM!"

"I know, Your Excellency General!" Shinta Kono opened the information in his hand and showed it in front of Neiji Okamura: "All the data and information are recorded here, and I have read them all."

"So, you still choose 95 light war?" Okamura Neiji couldn't understand Kono Shinta's operation.

"Of course!" Kono Shinta replied without thinking: "Although the 95 Light War has many shortcomings, it is the 'God of Maintenance', isn't it?"

"This is indeed true!" Neiji Okamura nodded and replied, "With maintenance, it can travel 1000 kilometers without failure. Without maintenance, it can travel 250 kilometers!"

Kono Shinta pointed to the map and said, "The enemy is only about [-] kilometers away from us..."

So Okamura Neiji understood, he nodded and said: "What you want is fast, and there is no need for maintenance on the way?"

"No, there is also cross-country capability!" Kono Shinta added: "Because the 34 light combat is light in weight, it is not easy to be trapped by the terrain and can flexibly bypass the enemy's defensive front. I think these are more important than firepower and defense. Because only a tank that can reach its destination is a useful tank. What's more, if we have air supremacy, then the enemy's T95 tanks can be dealt with by our air force, and the enemy's rocket launchers can be dealt with by our infantry, and our army's [-] light combat... They are used to deal with enemy infantry, they can cover our soldiers to quickly break through the enemy's line of defense to occupy the destination and capture what we want!"

Neiji Okamura nodded in satisfaction.

He felt that he had found the right person, and it seemed that the "Blitz" should be fought like this.
