Chapter 173 Easily defeated
"For the front triangular echelon, pay attention to the offensive formation!" Major Thoma shouted to his troops on his tank via radio.
In addition to having advanced weapons, armored soldiers also need advanced combat theories. How to use armored troops to attack is a science.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the army organized personnel many times to go to the First Armored Division of the SS to learn from the teachings, and the division commander Guderian also taught all his experience to everyone without reservation.
Major Thomas is Guderian's apprentice. This small-scale conflict does not require the armed SS to come on the field. Now, Major Thomas is verifying these tactics of Guderian.
Under different circumstances, different formations must be used to attack the enemy head-on, and this formation of the front triangle is the most suitable.
Six tanks form a triangular formation and three triangular formations form a larger triangular formation. In this way, it is like a nail, and can be easily nailed to the opponent's defense line at any time!
At this time, more than a dozen tanks were the leader, forming a large triangular formation, attacking the defenders here.
These tanks are enough to tear apart a brigade's defense. Now, they are simply killing chickens with a slaughter!
The engine rumbling, and the Black Panther 2 tanks lined up in neat formations and charged forward. At the same time, inside the tank, a tanker was very strong.
Crush, Crush, Crush, we are proud tank soldiers, we are invincible, even if we sacrifice, we will have a tomb of steel!
"Open fire!"
"Boom!" The 50mm tank gun roared, and the high-explosive grenade flew over and hit the opponent's trench!
"Company Commander, what should I do?" a veteran asked Cervantes.
what to do?
They don’t have effective anti-tank weapons at all!
"You can only use grenades!" Cervantes said gritting his teeth: "Bundle the grenades into bundles and blow up the opponent's tank!"
Blow off the opponent's tank!
A veteran threw away the cigarette, took the grenade, looked at the others, then jumped out of the trench, crawled on the ground, and slowly approached the opposite side.
When infantry fights tanks, first, be brave, second, be not afraid of sacrifice, third, be lucky!
Without suitable anti-tank weapons, infantry fighting tanks is not as brave as seen in TV series, and more so, sacrifice.
"Dadada." On the right side of the front end of the Black Panther Tank, a machine gun operated by a radio was firing violently. The veteran stopped moving after crawling for a few meters.
"I'll go!" Another soldier wanted to go up, and was killed within a few meters!
A triangular formation is not as easy to exert firepower as a single formation, but the protection of this formation is quite strong! The front-end tank crew is the driver on the left side and the right side is the machine gunner who serves as a mechanic and electrical engineer. His mission is to eliminate all enemies in front of him!
The tanks on the opposite side were getting closer and closer, and Cervantes was anxious.
At this moment, footsteps came from the traffic trench behind.
Reinforcements have arrived!
After discovering that this side was bombed, half of the troops stationed in the north of the city came and rushed to help the place!
"Cervantes, what's going on?" asked Captain Julio, who had arrived hurriedly.
"We can't deal with German tanks," Cervantes said.
The German tank! He glanced out from the trench quickly, and Julio was shocked. At this time, the tanks on the opposite side had reached them less than 30 meters away!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Julio shouted to his subordinates without saying a word.
Fight? How to fight? Your own hands are full of light weapons. Can rifles kill such big guys? Don’t joke!
At this time, he had forgotten that he was here to reinforce, or rather, when he realized that he had no reinforcement ability, it would be better to retreat quickly!
"Boom!" The tank's engine roared, and the tracks crushed the trenches. This new tank had a terrifying high-speed off-road capability! At the same time, the body of this tank was too long and the trenches could not stop them at all!
The tanks rumbled across the trench, and then they bloomed to both sides at the rear of the trench.
This is also the standard tactics set by Guderian!
First, break through the opponent's position in a triangular formation. After breaking through, separate immediately and go to both sides!
All positions are used to turn the fire outward. After breaking through, it is equivalent to going around them and then firing at them from behind!
Now, it's just a slight trial.
As a result, when they dispersed to both sides, they just blocked the escape route of the Republican soldiers who wanted to retreat!
"Dadada." The turret rotated, and the 7.92mm machine guns on it were shooting frantically. The soldiers of the Republican Army fell down in batches. They were like they were coming to die!
"Buzz, buzz." Behind, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were also roaring. They were directly behind the tank and rushed straight to the vicinity of the trench.
The door behind the car opened, and a warrior of armored grenadiers, holding submachine guns, flashed out of the car, condescending toward the Republican soldiers in the trenches.
The surrounded Spanish soldiers raised their hands helplessly.
When Major Thomas opened the lid on the top of his turret, he was so anxious that it was better to say that his troops were too strong than that these opponents were too weak!
There was no suspense at all. One of our sides charged forward and the battle was over before it had even had a fierce attack. It was not enough, it was not enough!
"Leave the 3rd Infantry Company to guard these prisoners, and the rest of the troops are ready to enter the city!" Major Thoma returned to the inside of the tank and issued an order.
"Major, I have received a report from the 2nd Tank Company that they have conquered the Republican positions in the north of the city." The electromechanical and mechanical engineer shouted to Major Thomas.
The bombing was concentrated in the south, and the attack was also in the south. Major Thomas sent a small army to the north of the city, intending to attack here, pass through the city and attack the rear of the northern army, and he could attack on both sides. However, now, only five or six tanks, with a few wheeled armored vehicles, defeated the Republican army in the north of the city.
Victory came too easily, and Major Thomas could not believe that these people were weaker than the Noodle Army!
In the Spanish civil war, the Spanish did not have much combat effectiveness. On the Republican side, the most combat-effective one was the international column! It was incredible, and on the side of Merida, without an international column, the battle would be almost one-sided!
