Hardcore ruthless starts in the Pacific

"You are a fool!"

Admiral Marquez almost ran to Lieutenant General Farley's headquarters to scold him, "Find out the current situation, even if there are only more than 700 people, it is still a problem... Even if there is no supply from the Allied forces, Their combat effectiveness has been verified in the small town of Savigny. Looking at their strategies and tactics, the commander's level is absolutely top-notch. With the supplies of the Allies and even air power, their strength has greatly increased!

It is absolutely impossible to destroy Hausmann Ivan without mobilizing the main force. Instead, it will continue to grow... At that time, shall we launch the offensive according to the original plan, or turn around and encircle them?The time has been delayed for a long time. The Allied forces keep sending supplies up through Utah Beach. If we don’t fight, we won’t be able to fight anymore. However, Housman will destroy the supply line in the rear. Under such circumstances, tell me how long the counterattack plan can last. ?How many kilometers can it advance?Don't forget about our strategic goals! "

"Your Excellency Farley, I am here to remind you—don't let trouble become a nightmare!"

In this way, the original battle plan of the German army was changed, and the spearhead turned to Hausmann Iwen, who had scattered plaintext telegrams throughout the Normandy area, and the unit he commanded was about to be reorganized.

If Yiwen knew how many troops the German army had mobilized to encircle and suppress them, he would definitely yell, "What's the matter with riding on horses!?"

All members of the 6th Parachute Regiment of the German Army were dispatched, and there were also an engineering platoon, a mountain artillery battalion, and an armored company equipped with a small number of No. 3 tanks and only No. 2 tanks. tax troops.

So, how many total troops are there to encircle and suppress the more than 101 people who will be reorganized into the 1st Guerrilla Battalion of the 700st Airborne Division of the American Army?

The first is the main force of the infantry.

The 6th Parachute Regiment was originally not affiliated with the 91st Airlift Assault Division. It was an independent unit before being transferred to the Western Front. It had 3 paratrooper battalions, a total of 9 paratrooper companies, and was equipped with 54 machine guns and 9 81mm mortars. In terms of machine guns Mainly the FG-42 type, mixed with a small amount of MG34/42 type-Meyer once said that the machine guns of the paratroopers should be different from those of the army, but by 1944, it was impossible to guarantee that the firepower pillars of the paratrooper companies were all FG-42. It's not like Aryan Superman has never seen soldiers who shoot from the shoulder and waist with the MG series.

除此之外还有3个营属的重武器连，总计装备36挺MG42机枪、12门81毫米迫击炮、6门75毫米无后坐力炮。

作为一个团级规模的战斗部队，理所应当还有团属重火力连、反坦克连、工兵连——总计拥有4门105毫米无后坐力炮、9门120毫米迫击炮、2门81毫米迫击炮、4门75毫米反坦克炮、坦克杀手3具、20挺机枪。

With the addition of logistics personnel, the total strength of the 6th Parachute Regiment reached 3457.

However, during D-day and the following two or three days, the regiment fought fiercely with the 101st Airborne Division in Kalangtang and was repelled by the powerful American firepower. The ammunition consumption was quite serious. After retreating and supplementing, they could really participate in the encirclement and suppression The fighting strength of the 1st Guerrilla Company was only about 1500, and its weapons and equipment were also reduced by one-third.

But it is not an existence that a guerrilla can mess with, let alone an armored company that belongs to the 23rd Battalion of the 22nd Armored Regiment of the 3rd Armored Division mobilized by General Marquez.

Due to the successive defeats on the Eastern Front, the tank company is an armored company without a logistics unit.

Then Ivan had to face 3 tank platoons plus a company headquarters.

后者装备2辆配备50毫米主炮的3号坦克与5辆配备20毫米机炮的2号坦克，前者则装备总计15辆配备20毫米机炮的2号坦克。

If you are lucky, one-third of the tanks in this armored company will be unable to participate in the battle due to various reasons-no need to doubt how delicate tanks are in this era, various factors can make a tank the day before yesterday Tanks that can still drive and fire can't be started today, or they turn off after starting for a long time.

The main force has figured it out, and the remaining auxiliary forces cannot be underestimated.

The main weapon equipped by the Mountain Cannon Battalion is naturally the 105mm Geb.H.40 mountain cannon, with 4 guns in each company and a total of 12 guns. This gun has no obvious disadvantages other than being expensive.

Needless to say about the engineering platoon, you only need to worry about whether it is a combat engineer.

Calculated, what Ivan needs to face is the firepower preparation of a mountain artillery battalion plus a shock formation consisting of at least 15 tanks, and at the same time there are three to five hundred elite paratroopers who are coordinated by his side.

The local French residents who witnessed the German paratroopers described the 6th Paratrooper Regiment in this way-the new German army is not the old veterans, the garrison troops with their buckles open, or the lazy cooking soldiers. They line up neatly as soon as they get off the train. The queue, although the face is a little tired, but it seems to be full of morale.Under the coal bucket-shaped helmets wrapped with camouflage nets, there are young faces with murderous looks in their eyes. When seeing them walking by in distinctive camouflage uniforms and low-cut combat boots, many people feel At that time, I almost suffocated to death.

The most critical problem is that Ivan knew that the Germans would send out the main force to encircle him, but he didn't know that the Germans would launch such a big battle to deal with him.

According to Yiwen's prediction, at most one main infantry battalion would be attached to one artillery company—wasn't it just a small town of Savigny, killed a lieutenant colonel and major, pulled 5 trucks of supplies and patted dozens of technicians on their buttocks? leave?

You Germans don't even look at how ferocious the U.S. military's offensive on the front line is. If you deploy too many troops to attack me, wouldn't you be pierced by the main force of the U.S. military! ?

If Lieutenant General Farley, the commander of the 91st Airlift Assault Division of the German Army, and General Marquez, the commander of the 84th Army of the German Army, were ambushed by paratroopers and shot into a sieve by bullets, and the other was killed by an air strike, the situation would definitely be It will develop as he expected. It may not even dispatch an infantry battalion, but two infantry companies are almost enough.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world of reincarnation.

Ivan, who didn't know it, was admiring the weapons and equipment dragged back from the small town of Savigny.

"German equipment, good stuff!"

98K rifle, this is a well-known weapon in the 21st century, quality, craftsmanship, accuracy, reliability, safety... and a series of advantages that a bolt-action rifle needs to have. If it is in this Times said that he was the number two among bolt-action rifles, and I am afraid that no other bolt-action rifle dared to say that he was the boss.

MG42 general-purpose machine gun, some people say it was the best machine gun during the Second World War, there is no one of that kind, but some people criticize it for the torture it caused to the logistics system, Ivan actually doesn’t like this gun, The replenishment problem brought about by the rate of consumption of ammunition is unsolvable for guerrillas.

The MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun is also an antique from the First World War, but as long as you take good care of it and give enough water when using it, it will reward you with super stability and the ability to continue firing, Evan I don't hate water-cooled machine guns, and I don't think it's a man's romance, but I really think this gun has something remarkable for guerrillas.

The MG26 machine gun, formerly the ZB26 machine gun made in the Czech Republic, needless to say, is definitely the most suitable light machine gun for guerrillas.

The MP40 submachine gun is also a submachine gun that goes without saying, and the Soviets said it was good after using it.

As for the MG34 and MP38, the two weapons that showed their prowess in the Polish campaign, the French campaign, and the early days of Barbarossa, Ivan did not see or find them.

However, it doesn't matter, after all, the current batch can be called brand new, with gun oil on it.

Ivan couldn't help picking up an MP40 to appreciate the structure and beauty of this gun carefully, but after only a few seconds, he found a problem, and immediately changed to a new MP40 to check. After looking at 5 guns in a row, he wrinkled He frowned and said to Huang Jiu: "Have the Germans reached this level?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Huang Jiu was stunned, and subconsciously picked up an MP40 and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't find any way out.

"There are no reinforcement ribs on the magazine," Yiwen said.

PS:

After checking a lot of information, I can be sure of one thing - if Lieutenant General Farley and General Marquez of the German Army on the Western Front survive, the progress of the US military in the Cotentin Peninsula will not be very smooth, although Normandy The history of the war will not change, but the casualties of the US military will be quite huge.

46. ​​The only one who can match him is 【Famous Normandy】!

"What are ribs?"

Huang Jiu, who had planted it all her life, had a puzzled look on her face.

"Look at the Sten submachine gun I brought over."

Yiwen took off the water pipe hanging from his body, pulled out the magazine and handed it to Huang Jiu, "Do you see this small protrusion on the magazine? This is the reinforcing rib."

The rib can enhance the strength and rigidity of the product without increasing the wall thickness of the product, and at the same time save the amount of material, reduce the weight and reduce the cost.

According to the correct way of holding a gun, both the Sten submachine gun and the MP40 submachine gun are not allowed to hold the magazine, but this is not a reason to save engraving ribs on the magazine.

The battlefield environment determines that it is impossible for soldiers to take good care of the magazine, and bumps and bumps are inevitable. In the absence of reinforcing ribs, it is easy to deform the rather thin magazine wall.

"Is it so serious?" Huang Jiu still didn't quite believe that the magazine would be so fragile without the 'reinforcing rib', "It's also a metal product."

"Don't believe this, our training plan has to be changed anyway."

Originally, he planned to take out one-third of the ammunition for training, but now looking at these magazines without reinforcement ribs, Yiwen felt that a big training must be carried out.

The so-called large-scale training means that machine gunners not only need to train short bursts and long bursts of machine guns, but also judge the best machine gun erection location according to the surrounding terrain. They also need to conduct shooting training for bolt-action rifles, submachine guns, and pistols... The same is true for riflemen and submachine gunners.

Throughout history, you will find that there are obvious differences between guerrilla soldiers and regular army soldiers. The biggest difference lies in the types of weapons that can be used.

The former does not have a systematic logistics supply, so they can use whatever weapons are available. People with average talents are not good at it, and people with extraordinary talents are good at it... The latter has a complete logistics system, so riflemen Only train rifles, machine gunners only train machine guns, and submachine gunners only train submachine guns, often causing the machine gunner to fall when the battle is fierce. Cover fire.

To put it bluntly, the guerrillas were forced out by the long-term shortage of food and ammunition, but the situation on Ivan's side was different.

Just dragged 5 trucks of military supplies back, and there is plenty of ammunition.The proficiency and proficiency of each firearm is not obtained by touching or dismantling, but by shooting live ammunition one by one.

Since the large number of MP40 and MG26 magazines seized this time did not have even a single reinforcing rib, there is no need to make any long-term plans.

Instead of losing the chain in the fierce battles that will inevitably occur in the future, it is better to let it fall in high-intensity training...at least it will not die if it loses the chain in training.

What's more, if you want to win a glimmer of life in the anti-encirclement and suppression war a few days later, you must let every soldier participating in the war be able to use it regardless of what weapon the German army has.

As for Yiwen not waiting for the U.S. airdrop supplies to arrive before starting, Huang Jiu didn't make any sense, but asked him another matter.

"In this case, why don't we directly let all the staff participate in live ammunition training in advance."

如今的大本营积攒了10万发7.92×57毫米毛瑟步枪弹、2万发9mm帕拉贝鲁姆手枪弹，前者的通用性很高，98K、MG42、MG26、MG08马克沁重机枪只要是德军的非手枪、冲锋枪都能使用该子弹，后者则适配MP18、MP38、MP40。

"The amount of consumption will be terrifying." Ivan said, "If the airdropped supplies from the US military haven't arrived, wouldn't we have spent all our bullets on this kind of training?"

"You have also estimated the strength of the encirclement and suppression. Let alone a complete infantry battalion, it is likely to be the main infantry battalion. For us at present, without the airdrop supplies of the US military, it is impossible to be an opponent."

"The weapons of the two companies are not the same." Yiwen said, "When the supplies of the US military are in place, we have to retrain."

Huang Jiu shook his head and said: "The problem is that there are too many of us who don't even know what the recoil is like. We don't know when the US military's airdrop supplies will come. How about large-scale siege without time for training? After training with German weapons, at least you know how to absorb the recoil, at least you know that you have to open the safety before pulling the trigger, and at least you know what parts of the gun are used for."

These words caused Ivan to fall into a brief silence, and his eyes fell on the German weapons in the box.

About 2 minutes later, the eyes fell on Huang Jiu again.

"......you are right."

Although Yiwen has realized that the training of guerrillas is completely different from that of regular troops, it is the first time that he has led so many people to fight against a powerful enemy without a logistics system. Familiarity with firearms will inevitably lead to a thinking inertia due to staying in the regular army for too long-live ammunition training refers to the process of soldiers becoming familiar with a certain weapon and generating muscle memory for the use of a certain weapon. process.

Thus ignoring the most basic things.

The posture of holding a gun and the method of resisting recoil—whether it is a German-made weapon, an American-made weapon, or a British-made weapon, no matter how different the rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns they manufacture, there is not much difference between the gun-holding posture and the method of counteracting recoil .

Ivan presumptuously felt that everyone under his command knew how to put the butt of the gun on the shoulder socket, presumably thought that they all knew how to tilt the center of gravity slightly forward, and how to cooperate with the left and right hands to ensure how to stabilize the gun body quickly after firing.

However, 70% of the people under his command have never even touched a gun, and they have zero foundation in the true sense.

"Just do as you say, everything in advance!"

In addition to firearms training, throwing object training is also very important. Bring back a full 20 boxes of M24 wooden handle grenades, and use 5 boxes of them so that the soldiers can compare with the Germans in real combat. , as long as you don't suffer a big loss.

After making up his mind, Yiwen immediately called a meeting of the commanders of each group to inform everyone of his decision.

Starting tomorrow, people from the reserve group will be assigned to the fire group, the first assault group, and the second assault group. The rest of the non-combat troops, except prisoners of war, stop their work and concentrate on participating in firearms training.

However, let's not assign a subordinate unit to it yet.

Ivan divided the logistics team into three waves, and Andre, Igor, and Horston would each lead one of them to participate in live-fire training. Sergeant James, Alvin, and Dulles of the second commando team Doctors provide technical guidance on the side.

"Starting tomorrow, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served three times...Master Huang, please take the German prisoners of war to deal with it."

"no problem."

After the meeting, Ivan non-stop found Claire who was leading the gunners he selected to study the GrW34 81mm mortar and Tekken 30.

When attacking the small town of Savigny, the mortar team had a total of 4 people. They stayed in the southwest corner and did not fire a single shell until the end of the battle. Claire himself didn't think there was anything wrong, but the other three selected gunners could Quite impatient, after all, everyone wants to participate in an actual battle urgently.

In the end, the first actual combat ended without firing a single shell. After returning to the base camp, the three of them were obviously a little depressed.

Ivan could feel that the morale of Claire's team was not as strong as before the expedition last night, but he did not give encouragement and comfort immediately.

"Claire, how's the research going?"

Compared with morale issues, Ivan is more concerned about whether the artillery and anti-tank weapons in the team can be controlled by Claire, so whenever he is free, he will come to him to discuss and study the German mortars. There are level 2 equipment proficiency free gifts With 30% proficiency, it is natural to discuss a few words with a professional mortar player like Claire.

如今从萨维尼小镇拖回来的2门GrW34型81毫米迫击炮对比GrW36型50毫米迫击炮，不开玩笑的说更像是一门正常的迫击炮，但终究是需要一定程度上的探讨与学习。

"Sir, it's pretty good."

Claire touched the barrel and said, "I feel very familiar with it after I got it. I have fired our 81mm mortar several times after I was demoted to the troops. The difference between the German army and ours is not very big. Eighth, I was explaining its features to my subordinates just now, and it is estimated that I can fire a few live ammunition before sunset to test its performance."

It can only be said that it is the mortar that the German guy fought in every battle in World War II. The GrW36 50mm mortar has no advantage over him.

"That's good."

After Ivan settled down, he turned his gaze to Iron Fist 30.

Before he could speak, Claire scratched his head and said, "I'm sure this thing is an anti-tank weapon, but I couldn't even find the launch button."

"It's not your fault."

As an individual anti-tank recoilless gun born in World War II, Iron Fist has a great reputation, even if it appeared at the time when the Third Reich was about to fall.

Many people think that Tekken’s high-explosive armor-piercing projectiles tear apart the tank’s armor and destroy the tank’s power, transmission, and fuel, but it’s not the case—its combat part uses conical charges, and uses the principle of energy gathering to make the combat part Under the action of high temperature and high pressure, the metal shell is focused to form a high-speed metal jet, so that the pressure can be concentrated at one point to penetrate the armor, achieving the effect of killing the personnel in the enemy's vehicle and destroying weapons and equipment.

Note that instead of using high temperature to penetrate the armor, a hole is punched in the armor through extremely high pressure - the temperature of the metal jet is only about 500 to 600 degrees, and it is impossible to burn a hole in the armor of the tank at this temperature Come.

Tekken 30 is the earliest model in the Tekken family, with a theoretical range of 30 meters and a penetration depth of 140mm. However, the actual range does not exceed 20 meters, and the best distance is about 10 to 15 meters.

What is the concept of this distance?

It was a face-to-face battle, the golden distance between the submachine gun and the pistol, if you are holding Tekken 30 and you don't take cover well, before you can aim at the tank, the coordinated tank and infantry have already rushed over. If you are unlucky, you will belch. Even if you don't get shot, you have to be suppressed in a hidden place,

Even if you covert well and successfully destroyed a tank, you will still die. The tail flame after the launch of this thing is quite 'gorgeous' even in the daytime, and it is also lethal.

Otherwise, the Tekken 30 in Ivan's hand would not have a red German warning printed on the end-be careful of tail flames!

"This is an individual anti-tank recoilless gun used by the German army to deal with tanks. It's called Iron Fist." Ivan explained how to actually operate it.

The serious process is not to use the shoulders to resist the iron fist as described in many film and television dramas, but to clamp the launch tube under the armpit, but it appeared at the end of the war, and it was the militia that was actually used on a large scale. How could they have undergone professional military training before going to the battlefield, as long as they can shoot iron fists.

Ivan will not let his subordinates use the iron fist indiscriminately, especially to put an end to its rather bad shortcomings-it is absolutely forbidden to carry it on the shoulder, because when the launch angle is too high, the tail flame sprayed on the ground will burn his feet in turn.

The tail flame up to 3 meters is no joke!

In order to prevent Claire from fumbling to use Iron Fist without knowing anything, Ivan felt that he needed to explain in detail.

"The first thing to note is that the space behind the 3 meters must be cleared before launching. There must be no personnel, equipment, flammable objects, and no objects that will rebound the tail flame and burn it to the shooter himself, such as walls, trenches and skirmishers. The back wall of the pit, the trees, and all that."

While saying this, Ivan opened the dust cover at the end of the launch tube and showed it to Claire and the others, "This is the second step to complete the launch, and you must remember that this thing is not for you to use your shoulders to resist It’s very different from the bazooka and has to be tucked under the arm.”

After completing this step, Ivan pointed to the safety pin on the back, "Open it and you're ready to launch."

Next, the aiming scale on the launch tube was turned on, and after the demonstration was completed, he asked, "Do you understand?"

Claire and the others nodded.
