In fact, when it comes to the flight principle of a helicopter, its biggest feature is that it is different from ordinary fixed-wing aircraft, because it does not rely on the engine in the fixed wing to generate a driving force, so that the aircraft can fly freely in the sky. flight.

Instead, it rotates through its own characteristic wing-propeller, thereby generating an upward rotational force, bringing up the entire aircraft fuselage, and finally realizing flight.

In fact, the propeller is another way of saying that it is the rotor. During the high-speed movement of the rotor, there is an upward buoyancy force, which can make the aircraft fuselage and wings rotate in opposite directions, so as to achieve an ingenious balance point.

This is why helicopters can park directly in the sky, but fixed-wing aircraft cannot.

At present, the German army uses helicopters to transport supplies. Its advantage is that it can fly at ultra-low altitude, is very small and flexible, and can directly stop at many small-area sites, so that it can break through the Allied blockade very well.

Its disadvantage is that helicopters are not suitable for long-distance flight, and are only suitable for traffic activities within a radius of 300 kilometers.

In addition, it is also very affected by the weather, heavy wind and rain are not suitable for helicopter use, the speed is relatively slow, and the sound of the very rotor is very noisy.

However, the straight-line distance from Sardinia, Italy to Tunisia is only 200 kilometers, so the helicopters newly developed by the German army are fully capable of transportation tasks.

It is also because of this that the German-Italian African Army, which has been defending in Tunisia, can still survive until now, or it should have ended long ago.

After a long war of attrition and pre-war preparations, the North African Allies launched the Tunisian Campaign on April 4.

The ultimate goal of this battle is to smash the German-Italian African Army Group and capture the territory of Tunisia, thereby driving all the German-Italian Allied Forces out of North Africa.

So far, the ground battle in the Tunisian campaign has been launched for more than a month, and the enemy and the enemy have engaged in a series of arduous tug-of-war.

In the early days of the battle, the German and Italian troops won the initial victory relying on their extremely strong defense system and tenacious resistance. The Allied forces were severely damaged in repeated attacks, and the battle was carried out quite arduously. .

However, as the supply of the Axis army became more and more difficult, the huge supply and the overwhelmingly superior Allied forces were stepping towards victory step by step.

Most of the territory of Tunisia is high ground that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are not many gaps that are conducive to the attack of mechanized troops. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the Allied forces with a total strength of more than one million to swarm up. Most of the troops can only be reduced to spectators, resting and training on the sidelines.

Anyway, being idle is idle. In addition to daily military training, the Allied forces also conduct friendly matches and actual combat exercises with each other from time to time to increase their cooperation and actual combat level.

"Is this the beginning?"

Auchinleck, Montgomery, Patton, Sun Fumin and other senior Allied generals were standing on a small high ground, chatting, when several red flares suddenly rose in the dark sky in the distance.

Seeing this, Auchinleck and others immediately raised their binoculars and looked at the defensive positions of the US Army Division B.

Chapter 1536 The Peak Three-Three System of Light Infantry History

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Almost at the same time that Auchinleck and the others turned their sights, several flares rose from Division B's defensive position.

These flares rose up like comets, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated half of the sky, instantly illuminating the area within a radius of more than ten kilometers as if it were daytime.

Seeing this, Patton raised his eyebrows proudly, turned his head to look at Sun Fumin who was standing aside and said, "General Sun, your Chinese army has always been good at fighting at night, but there is no night presence in front of the American army, because we have Enough flares to turn night into day."

Local tyrants speak differently. Americans with rich families always regard firepower as king in wars. Whether it is guns and ammunition, or food, medicine, oil and other supplies, they need as much as possible.

"General Patton, please continue reading, the result is more important than the process!"

Sun Fumin smiled slightly, with a mysterious expression that the good show was yet to come.

"Okay, as you wish!"

Barton shrugged confidently.

Today's exercise is a breakthrough battle for the airborne troops. The airborne division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the US Airborne Division simultaneously attack a field defense position guarded by the US Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

In front of him, Patton was watching the exercise battlefield where the U.S. Army defended and the Chinese Expeditionary Force attacked.

Patton had already experienced the Chinese Huben Expeditionary Force's ability to fight well, but the U.S. military in front of him had a defensive geographical advantage and possessed strong enough defensive firepower.

Therefore, Patton was very confident in the results of this offensive and defensive exercise, and he did not believe that the Chinese Huben Army could take the U.S. positions from the front.

Stilwell, who was standing aside, smiled and said nothing, and did not discuss this issue, because he knew very well what would happen next.

"Ah, General Sun, what kind of offensive formation is this?"

"Yeah, why is it so strange!"

Sure enough, the Allied generals, such as Patton and Auchinleck, all agreed that the Huaxia Huben Expeditionary Army would pull out a skirmish line to attack, and then they would suffer heavy casualties and struggle under the powerful firepower of the US military until they were completely defeated. .

However, if you don't see it, you don't know it. When you see it, you are shocked. The scene in front of you really refreshes the three views of Barton and others. The whole process is not what they imagined.

In their inherent cognition, whether Japanese, Japanese, German or Soviet infantry, when attacking the enemy's positions, they are basically swarmed by a company, a battalion, or a regiment.

At most, it is to pull away the skirmish line for tactical evasion during the charge, and there are no other tricks.

But the airborne division of the Huaxia Expeditionary Army is not like this, but has reached a new level.

I saw that the attack of the Airborne Division of the China Expeditionary Army has a strict triangular formation:

Three people form an attack team, and three attack teams form an attack sequence.

Then more than a dozen attack sequences were laid out in front of the US military formation, with less than a hundred people in the area but with a width of several hundred meters. They had never seen such an attack route.

"General Sun, what kind of offensive formation is this?"

Barton was really confused, and was completely dumbfounded for a moment. Although he didn't know what the principle of this formation was, and whether it was powerful or not, it was unclear just from the weather in front of him.

"General Patton, General Auchinleck, this is the three-three offensive formation used by our Huben Army!"

The corner of Sun Fumin's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a very proud smile. "Please continue to read. After the exercise is over, I don't think I need to explain too much. You can find the answer yourself."

That's right, the current Airborne Division of the Huben Expeditionary Army is displaying the three-three offensive formation, the offensive formation of the peak light infantry!

The three-three system tactics first originated during the War of Resistance Against Japan, matured in the War of Liberation, and were widely used in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It is an infantry "squad assault" tactic in the infantry training program.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army lacked heavy fire cover and often attacked the strong positions of the Japanese army in a dense formation, resulting in serious casualties.

In view of this situation, it is proposed that middle and high-level commanders focus on concentrating superior forces strategically (that is, the famous "one point, two sides"). Synergy, advance layer by layer, alternately cover the attack.

Squads are divided into three combat teams, each with three members. In order to facilitate mutual support, they are generally arranged in three echelons.

The three-person combat team formed a triangular offensive formation, and each soldier had a clear division of labor, attack-cover-support.The squad leader, deputy squad leader, and team leader each lead a combat team to act.

When the combat team attacks, two soldiers are in front and the team leader is behind, forming a triangle formation. Three combat teams form a combat squad, and three combat squads form a combat group. When attacking, they form a "skirmish line" formation.

When the battle squad is deployed, the soldiers change their battle formation at any time according to the instructions of the team leader or squad leader. After the battle group is deployed, "oral language", "sign language", "bugle" or "radio" are used to convey tactical instructions. A battle group with a total of 27 people Fully deployed it can cover a battle line 800 meters wide.

"I buy it!"

"Is that okay?"

Barton, Auchinleck and the others were all aroused with great interest. They stared intently with their binoculars, and kept adjusting the focus, trying to capture the entire battlefield in the field of vision of the binoculars.

But this is futile, because there will never be more than nine expeditionary soldiers in his field of vision at the same time, that is, at most three combat groups at the same time.

There are three people in each group, and the tactical cooperation between them is very skillful.

Before one person rushes forward, the other person must make a feint to attract U.S. firepower, while the other person in the group will provide fire support from the side and rear.

Under such circumstances, the US military's machine gun firepower often loses sight of one another, and it is difficult to achieve effective firepower shooting.

Even if the machine gunner responds in a timely manner, it often takes hundreds or even thousands of bullets to "stack" a Chinese soldier.

"How did this happen? Are all the heads of these idiots burned?"

Patton saw with his own eyes through the binoculars that a Browning heavy machine gun in front of the U.S. military was already smoking, and only then did the two Chinese soldiers smoke and were forced to withdraw from the exercise.

The attacking side kept rushing forward like a rainbow, while the U.S. defense forces, which had the dual advantages of geographical advantage and firepower, were retreating steadily.

The three-three system offensive tactic is called the pinnacle of light infantry tactics. It is by no means a fake, but the last word.

The so-called layman watches the excitement and the insider watches the way. Barton can now be regarded as a seasoned veteran, and the result of the confrontation exercise in front of him can naturally be clearly predicted.

Chapter 1537 It's useless to learn

After the airborne division of the Huben Expeditionary Army resorted to the three-three system tactic, although the U.S. military tried its best to defend to the death, they soon couldn't resist it.

In less than two hours, the three main regiments of the Airborne Division of the Huben Expeditionary Army broke into the U.S. positions almost simultaneously, and the U.S. commander was forced to raise a white flag and surrender to the Huben Expeditionary Army.

However, at this time, the U.S. Airborne Division was still facing off against the Huben Expeditionary Force, and was firmly blocked in front of the defensive position, making it difficult to overstep the thunder.

Woo~woo~woo~, with the sound of long horns, this Sino-US confrontation exercise is officially over.

The Huaxia Huben Expeditionary Force won this exercise completely, while the U.S. military suffered an unprecedented defeat.

"How did this happen!"

"Isn't this too shocking?"

"Yeah, the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Chinese army are simply outrageous!"

"Are there any opponents in this world?"

After the confrontation exercise was over, the turmoil aroused was far from stopping.

Faced with the result of the match between a child and an adult, Patton, Auchinleck and other Allied generals could not accept it at all.

Although there is no hope of victory in the attack of the US airborne division, all of them firmly believe that the confrontation exercise of the US military's defense will end in victory for the US military.

After all, in their eyes, the United States, Britain and France are the real people, and their core interests are consistent, and China is just a temporary ally.

They naturally don't want to see Huaxia become stronger than them.

After the exercise, there will be a tactical commentary as usual, and generals from the United States, Britain and France, including Patton, Montgomery, Auchinlake, and Ridgway, all attended the meeting.

It's just that they are all a little downcast, their faces look a little ugly, and they are obviously not in a good mood.

After some opening remarks, he entered into the US military commentary, and Patton hurriedly asked Sun Fumin: "General Sun, I really want to know what the offensive tactics adopted by the Airborne Division of the China Expeditionary Force during the exercise are? Why? So powerful?"

Sun Fumin smiled and replied: "This is the three-three system strategy I told you before."

Patton broke the casserole and asked the end: "Can you talk about it in detail? The Allied forces will soon completely win the African battlefield, and we will soon land on the European battlefield. At that time, the airborne troops will definitely be indispensable."

Auchinleck quickly answered the call, and said anxiously with a deep desire for knowledge: "Yes, your army's light infantry tactics are very effective, and they will definitely play a huge role in the European battlefield in the future. We all want to know how it works. Something happened!"

"Okay! Please rest assured, we are all life and death allies of the same camp, sharing resources and tactics is a matter of course."

Sun Fumin smiled, and then began to talk about the three-three system tactics learned from Yang Fan.

The three-three system strategy is not a secret, nor is it a magic trick that cannot be passed on.

This tactic was born out of the War of Resistance, developed in the War of Liberation, and finally matured in the Korean War, and finally formed a system that became a tactic in our army's infantry training program.

The fact that cannot be questioned is that the three-three system tactics are the pinnacle of light infantry tactics, and there is no one!

It's just that the U.S. military will never be able to learn the three-three system tactics.

The reason is simple, because the U.S. military is not light infantry, but heavy infantry, mechanized infantry, and even informationized infantry.

What are you talking about?Can the U.S. military make targeted cracks after learning the three-three system tactics?If that war breaks out again one day in the future, my volunteer army may suffer a lot?

In that case, it can only be said to be unfounded worries!

First of all, the current time and space is not that time and space, so no one knows what will happen in the future!

Secondly, even if the war still breaks out, our army's three-three system tactics are completely unsolvable.

The three-three system tactic is not a martial arts secret book, it needs to be kept secret, when the three-three system tactic launches an attack, the attack formation is there, and the enemy is clearly visible!

But even so, in that war in another time and space, didn't our army still beat them to the ground?

In a word, peak light infantry tactics require peak light infantry to use.

Even if the other family has learned the three-three system tactics, they can't use them, and they can only use them forcibly.

Therefore, Yang Fan did not ask Sun Fumin to keep it secret, because he was not afraid of American soldiers learning the three-three system tactics, because it was useless for them to learn.

"I buy it! It's amazing!"

"Such a tactic is simply invulnerable!"

"If we can all use it flexibly, wouldn't the Axis of Evil alliance be finished in a short time?"

"I have to admit that in terms of infantry tactics, General Yang is indeed an admirable military expert."

After listening to the explanation, Auchinleck, Stilwell and others gave their compliments without hesitation.

But Patton and the US military officers behind him felt a little regretful after admiring them, because this tactic was really useless to the US military.

After the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States declared war on Japan, but the total strength of the U.S. Army at that time was only 168.5 million. Although the number far exceeded that in 1939, there was a serious shortage of equipment and well-trained personnel.

In the following three years, the U.S. Army continued to grow, eventually growing to 829.1 million people, and its weapons and equipment became more and more sophisticated.

So, how fierce was the firepower of the US Army in the late World War II?We might as well take a look at the United States' announcement of the establishment of infantry divisions, and perhaps we can see a thing or two from it.

Between 1940 and 1942, the U.S. Army divisions consisted of approximately 14615 soldiers and 630 officers.The standard infantry weapon at that time was the M1903 Springfield Rifle, a bolt-action weapon with high accuracy and long range, but a low rate of fire.

The whole division is equipped with approximately 7317 rifles of this type, 1799 pistols, 35 submachine guns (equipped by the reconnaissance team), 292 machine guns, 117 mortars, 68 anti-tank guns, 54 howitzers, and more than 1400 various vehicles car.

As the war progressed, the powerful industrial capabilities of the United States broke out in an all-round way. After 1942, the U.S. military reorganized and refitted the infantry divisions. The number of personnel decreased by about 8%, but it became stronger.
