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.

Two Tiger tanks are in the center of the formation, and four Panther 3 tanks are in an "eight shape" behind the left and right sides. The space left in the middle is supplemented by wheeled infantry combat vehicles, ready to pursue at any time.

From the sky, it looks like an inverted clock, so it is called "bell" battle formation.

Modlin's Tiger tanks are in the most central formation. A total of 12 combat vehicles adjust their radios to one frequency band. Only modlin's command tank has two sets of radios that can contact the upper level.

In the East, in the direction of the rising sun, there is an evil country. They want to invade the Third Reich of Germany. Now, they have to keep moving east and East. The mission that Napoleon did not complete at the beginning depends on them!

"Start the engine." Modlin shouted, "warm up the engine and prepare for attack!"

There was the sound of electric motors everywhere. The engine at the rear of the tank emitted black smoke. In the black smoke, the tank was successfully started, and the sound of diesel engine rang through the whole plain.

At this time, on the horizon over there, the shadow of Soviet tank troops has appeared, with a number of more than 200!

The Soviet tank division lost some tanks because of several German air raids, and the Viking division should set aside some tanks to watch the Soviet infantry division in the enclosure to prevent them from breaking through by accident. In this way, what both sides can use is only hundreds of vehicles.

Even, the number of tanks in the Viking division is still less, less than 150. They form 15 formations and are arranged in line. However, from the perspective of quality, that is different.

The tanks of the Soviet Union are mainly T-34. They charge in the front and behind T-34, followed by fast tanks such as T-26 and bt7. Their tank army has no heavy tanks.

In Germany, the Panther 3 tank is the main body and the Tiger tank is the elite. Such forces have a strong impact, not in quantity, but in quality!

Soviet tanks, lined up in the most direct horizontal line, came all over the mountains, while German tanks, lined up in Bell formations, rushed across!

The collision between steel and iron is coming!

Looking at the Soviet tanks all over the mountains, modlin's eyes flashed a trace of disdain.

The bell formation is advancing rapidly. The Panther 3 tanks with eight characters on both sides behind have enough forward firing range. At this time, the commander of each vehicle is looking at the Soviet tanks rushing in the distance, as if hunters were looking at their prey.

The distance between the two sides was about five kilometers when they first found each other. Soon, the distance was shortened to one kilometer.

"Stop and fire!" Modlin shouted on the radio. Now he wants to command not only his tank, but the whole formation. The 88mm tank gun has a good hit accuracy at a distance of one kilometer!

(explain that using the advantage of range to fire outside the opponent's range to kill the opponent should be the first consideration, right? In the Gulf War, the Yankees abused the Iraqi tank forces in this way. Even the Yankees even shifted to reverse gear and extended the distance, that is, they didn't let the Iraqi tanks close. In World War II, German tanks were precision machined and shot farther and more accurately than the crude tanks of the Soviet Union. On the issue of always starting to hit, East China Zhixiong won't describe it again. The hit rate of 50% should not be much?)
