Chapter 1563 The Father of Modern Tank Tactics - Mr. Lynch

"In fact, each of us has fallen into a dead end in thinking. Although mechanization has largely made up for the shortcomings of infantry, it cannot completely improve the gap between different arms."

"That's why we want to increase tank orders!"

In fact, Lynch could understand the meaning of the sergeant. In the past, the cavalry tore apart the battlefield and formed an area advantage because the cavalry charged and the infantry couldn't stop it.

For Gefra or Penteo or even the whole world, in the past, cavalry often refers to knights in full armor, that is, heavy cavalry.

The horses of some knight orders have to wear armor. It is true that cavalry of this level cannot be stopped by infantry.

Those cavalry archers or knights called rangers who don't wear full armor and carry bows can't be called complete "knights" in a strict sense, they are more like infantry on horses!

So in that period, knights charging in groups was simply a nightmare for infantry!
Therefore, it is possible to split the battlefield and intersperse back and forth to quickly kill the enemy.

But the situation is different now. If you want to create a split in the battlefield, first of all, you have to make sure that the hole you tore out does not "heal" so quickly.

Otherwise, the encircling party forming a regional advantage encirclement will face a very embarrassing situation of being surrounded by the enemy.

The slow movement speed of the infantry in the past was indeed not fast, and it was too late to re-glue the front lines together.

But it's different now.

After mechanization, even infantry has the ability to move at high speed, such as motorization and light mechanization, which have become standard equipment for infantry!

Including during the march, it is rare to see the kind of legion that travels purely on their legs, most of them travel by train or truck.

Therefore, in this era of motorization, light mechanization, and quick response to movement, it is no longer so easy to form a local advantage by cutting the battlefield at high speed and making a difference in speed.

What's more, there is artillery support. These tactics can be included in textbooks not because they still have tactical value in modern times, but because people want students to understand the military development process and have a more specific understanding!
So when Lynch mentioned these things, the lieutenant colonel's reaction was not so enthusiastic, but he still underestimated Lynch.

Lynch looked at the cadres and officers in the room, "We always think that tanks and self-propelled artillery should cooperate with infantry."

"In the military and within the company, we are also emphasizing the issue of Butan coordination!"

Everyone nodded. The coordinated operation of infantry and self-propelled chariots was first developed in Marillo, and self-propelled artillery can be used as the core force for demolition in urban battlefields!
It can easily disintegrate passive defenses that rely on complex building complexes as fortifications, and at the same time provide the necessary cover for infantry on the battlefield.

Judging from the report of Blackstone Security, since infantry began to cooperate with self-propelled artillery to fight, the casualty rate of Blackstone Security employees in urban battles began to plummet!
This has also formed the core idea of ​​the Bu-Tan cooperative tactics. No one has doubted it, but no one has continued to develop and dig deep into this kind of tactics.

And now, what Lynch has to do is to get the tanks out of the infantry!
"You have all seen the new type of tank. It has thicker and more scientific external armor, a closed turret, and our batch of tanks has replaced the latest diesel engine."

"It can run faster, and the track design allows it to overcome more complex and varied terrain."

"It already has the ability to fight alone, and it doesn't need to rely entirely on the coordination of infantry and tanks to attack from the front!"

"If we pull these tanks out to form an independent heavy machinery unit, it has the ability to move at high speeds effectively on the battlefield."

"It has a strong ability to destroy living forces and enemy military equipment, and has considerable endurance..."

"Then, can we consider developing this kind of fighter group with high-speed movement and powerful firepower as the core of a tactic?"

"Rush quickly, cut the battlefield, cooperate with artillery or air force to carry out devastating strikes in the area..."

"Or simply look for strategic points and attack frontally, regardless of whether the effect can be obtained, it can divert the enemy's attention to the maximum..."

Following Lynch's description, fantastic ideas emerged from the heads of these officers and senior cadres.

They get more and more excited because it works!

They had already seen the self-propelled artillery called "Tank" brought over this time.

It is very different from the previous ones, and the removal of rubber tires makes it much less restricted in movement!

The second is stronger power, it can run very fast!
With its speed, aggressiveness and defensive capabilities, it seems to have no enemies!

Artillery has no good way to intercept this kind of fast-moving individual, either it needs to cover firepower in advance, or it simply gives up.

If there is no high way to restrain it, then these tanks can play the role of ancient cavalry on the battlefield!
As long as the tank group rushes up, with the current army equipment shown by Peng Jieao, it is difficult to face the tank group without bunkers and fortifications!

"This method... works!" The lieutenant colonel was a little excited, and he quickly recorded these tactical ideas in his small notebook.

Then he asked another question, "Are tank drivers and loaders well trained?"

Lynch nodded and said, "If you've ever driven a forklift, it's very easy to drive."

"Of course, ordinary people can drive after a few days of training."

"As for the loader..." Lynch smiled slightly, "Isn't this a job you can do with your hands?"

In fact, the problem of tank drivers is not a problem for the Federation at this time!
It should be known that in Nagalil, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 150 million laborers with engineering vehicle driving licenses, and about 20 of them drive for more than [-] hours!
This is thanks to the huge engineering workload of the Blackstone Group around the world. The "Midway Island" project alone has provided tens of thousands of engineering vehicle drivers for continuous high-intensity operations.

Due to the tank's tracked chassis design, it drives somewhat like a construction vehicle.

Engineering vehicles sometimes need to work within a very narrow range, and it is impossible to design too much in terms of turning around. Moreover, the driving methods and habits of the mainstream engineering vehicles in the Federation happen to be the same as tanks.

As long as there are enough tanks, the Federation can pull up tens of thousands of tankers to drive tanks for military operations at any time!
As for the loader... as long as you have a handful of strength, put the shells in, and then pull the rope.

For example, the person who is responsible for aiming and adjusting the angle of the turret may need some skills, but in the case of group combat, sometimes the lack of accuracy will not have much impact on the overall battle situation!

As the core tactical idea of ​​​​"tank cluster charge" proposed by Lynch was spread by military officers and company cadres, the tanks that were mobilized were quickly divided up.

The Federation won 35 vehicles, and the rest were allocated to Gefla.

After all, the front line is very long, and it is impossible to gather all the tanks in one place.

Another good news is that tanks will be continuously delivered from the Federation!
Now that Ankerk Industries has completed the order from the Federal Army, it has begun to work overtime for Gefra's large order. Not to mention the addition of four assembly lines, Mr. Wardrick seems to want to add a few more assembly lines!
At this time, production capacity means income!

And the income related to the war often indicates a higher social status.

While he already has this, who would say no to higher personal prestige?

Lynch's opinion is not to pull too many assembly lines for the time being, as long as the output can keep up.

After all, for this era, under the influence of war, the technology of every country is developing at a very high speed!

The war makes the country's budget more inclined to the military field. With more budget, each laboratory will have stronger research and development capabilities!

After the next generation or improved tank comes out, consider whether to continue to increase the assembly line.

Even now, six to eight tanks come out of the assembly workshop every day!
It only takes four months to complete Gefra's order of [-] vehicles!
These ideas put forward by Lynch were compiled into the report "Modern Cavalry Warfare" in Amélia, and then appeared on the desktop of the Federal Ministry of Defense.

When Mr. Truman heard that Lynch had come up with a new set of mechanized tactics, his first thought was "What else does this guy not know?"

In his cognition, there seems to be nothing that Lynch can't do. It was like this before, and it's still like this now!

He even figured out his fucking tactics, what else can stop him?
Oh yes, he won't get pregnant, and he won't have a baby!

Thinking of this, Mr. Truman couldn't help laughing. It was hard for him to imagine what Lynch looked like when she was pregnant. He thought it was so interesting.

But soon he had a new idea. With the rapid development of medical science, who knows, will it be true that men will never be able to conceive?
Maybe when a man can get pregnant too?
It seemed that nothing could stop him!
The officer in charge of the report was a little nervous at this moment. He couldn't figure out why Mr. President had a wretched smile on his face for a while, and frowned the next time. The report is read out.

Near the end of the reading, Mr. Truman waved his hand to signal him to stop.

"I've heard it, and it sounds a bit reasonable, how many tanks do we have on the Marillo side?"

The officer of the Ministry of Defense immediately replied, "There are 150 vehicles, distributed on various fronts, and some are in the rear as spare replacements."

Mr. Truman nodded noncommittally, "Then take out these spare parts and form a special mobile team according to this report, let us verify the value of this report..."
