Chapter 1136 Bell-shaped battle formation

The sun in the east gradually exposed the horizon, dyeing the entire horizon red, the scorching sun was like blood, the morning glow was like blood, and red everywhere.

The cold wind blew across the Strey River, across the meadows on the banks, and on the steel chariots.

General Felix, the commander of the Viking Division, sat on his tiger tank, revealing half of his body, looking at his east, where the Soviet tank troops were located.

The scouts had been sent out, and the battle situation was gradually summarized to him through radio. The Soviet tank soldiers had already begun to launch tank engines and were ready to attack their own side!

"Note, line up in a bell-shaped combat formation and prepare for the battle." Felix issued a combat mission to his tank troops in the radio: "On the other side of us is the Soviet tank division that has been attacked by our air force many times. Now let us ring the death knell for this Soviet tank division!"

In tank battles, you cannot charge in a swarm, and you must pay attention to tactics, especially the impact formation.

In later generations, American tank troops rushed forward in a swarm, because the US Army was already invincible, and the opponents they wanted to fight were all very weak. Moreover, American tanks popularized GPS, so where are friendly troops clear.

But it is not possible in this era. In battles, they must carry out targeted formations based on the different combat goals. In fact, more than ten years ago, in the desert, Guderian and a group of people began to study the tactics of tanks.

The latest armored soldiers textbook, "Advance, Tank!", has conducted detailed discussions and research, with absolute internal reference.

Generally speaking, the combat formation of German armored soldiers can be divided into: armored formation and mixed formation according to the size of the strengthened forces, the battlefield terrain, the current enemy situation and the superior tasks.

Among them, armored formation refers to a combat formation composed of vehicles with approximately equal maneuver power and defense such as tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, motorcycles, engineering vehicles; a hybrid formation is a combat formation composed of the above-mentioned vehicles and hiking infantry.

At the same time, tank troops do not fight alone, and must also pay attention to the support of the aviation troops above their heads.

The main principles followed in combat formation classification are: flexibility and mobility, and advantages are convenient for firepower.

The first half of the sentence says that the combat formation should be as simple and easy to use as much as possible, and be able to cope with different unexpected situations on the battlefield. The second half of the sentence requires that when fighting with the same opponent at the same time and at the same place, the overall firepower formed by the combat formation should have the advantage, that is, the concentration of firepower.

To be more specific, the most basic unit of the combat formation of the German armored soldiers is based on tank platoons and is generally divided into these types: column formation, staging formation, line formation, echelon formation, triangular formation, "weed" formation and "prism" formation and "bell" formation.

Among them, the last "bell" combat formation is at the extreme development of tank troops.

Among the German tank troops, there are already heavy tanks such as the Tiger tank, and medium tanks such as the Black Panther 3 tank. Mixing them can actually play a better role.

For example, now, the tank soldiers of the Vikings quickly arranged according to this formation.

Two Tiger tanks, in the center of the formation, each of four Black Panther 3 tanks are in a "character-eight shape" behind the left and right sides. The space left in the middle is to allow wheeled infantry fighting vehicles to supplement it, ready to carry out pursuit at any time.

From the sky, it looks like an upside down bell, so it is called a "bell"-shaped combat formation.

Modelin's Tiger tanks were lined up in the central formation, with a total of twelve tanks, all of which were adjusted to one frequency band. Only Modelin's command tanks had two sets of radios, which could be contacted with the previous level.

In the east, in the direction of the sun rising, there is an evil country. They attempt to invade the Third German Empire. Now, they will continue to go east and east. The mission that Napoleon did not complete at the time must be completed by them!

"Start the engine." Mo Delin shouted: "Preheat the engine and prepare for the attack!"

The sound of electric motors was everywhere, and black smoke came out from the engine at the tail of the tank. In the black smoke, the tank was successfully started, and the sound of the diesel engine resounded throughout the plain.

At this time, on the horizon there, the shadow of Soviet tank troops had appeared, with a number of about 200!

The Soviet tank division suffered several German air strikes and lost some tanks, while the Vikings had to leave some tanks to guard the Soviet infantry divisions in the encirclement to prevent them from breaking through the siege. In this way, the size of the two sides could only be used by hundreds.

Even the Vikings had even fewer tanks, less than one hundred and fifty vehicles, forming fifteen formations, lined up in a row, but in terms of quality, that was different.

Soviet tanks were mainly T-34. They charged in the front, followed by fast tanks such as T-26 and BT7. Their tank troops were not in charge.

On the German side, the Black Panther 3 tank is the main body and the Tiger tank is the elite. Such troops have very powerful impact, not in the number, but in the quality advantage!

Soviet tanks lined up in the most direct line, coming from all over the mountains, while German tanks lined up in bell-shaped formations and rushed towards the opposite side!

The collision between steel and steel is coming soon!

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

The bell-shaped formation was advancing forward quickly, and the Black Panther 3 tanks with eight characters on both sides of the back had enough forward shooting range. At this time, the captain of each vehicle was looking at the Soviet tanks rushing towards him from a distance, as if the hunters were looking at the prey.

The distance between the two sides was approaching quickly. When they first discovered each other, it was about five kilometers, and soon the distance was shortened to one kilometer.

"Stop moving forward and open fire!" Mo Delin shouted in the radio. Now what he wants to command is not just his tank, but the entire formation, the 88mm tank gun, which has a good hit accuracy at a distance of one thousand meters!
