Chapter 2457 Landing Operation 3

? Then there, in the distance near the hills, I will use a bulldozer to build a sand dam. A 100KG-level artillery shell will only knock off a small piece. This sand bar, combined with the surrounding terrain, can effectively weaken the effect of shelling and is difficult to destroy in a short time. Then if I deploy a few more smoke points, I can safely deploy the artillery positions there, and then rely on the forward observation points to suppress the entire landing area. "

"Of course, if you have enough battleship shells, you can waste them as you like, but unfortunately, I don't think so. You must keep at least half of the ammunition to deal with the possible Japanese fleet, right?" Caliput said.

"In addition, let me say one more thing, the firepower composition of your country's assault force is very problematic. Even if the Japanese's firepower level can be a quarter of that of the British general army, then you will have to pay a very heavy price. During offensive operations The armored forces must have good all-round defense capabilities, so we generally use Hu Feng assault guns or Wolf tanks as the spearhead of the attack. However, your country's T1 tank can only block ordinary heavy machine gun attacks on its sides, and even Tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets can also penetrate at medium and short range. If there is a large-caliber machine gun, it can be easily penetrated," Caliput said.

"Well, if it were actual combat, we would add some additional armor on the sides, such as track pads, or road wheels. Isn't your country doing the same thing?" Marshall said.

"Okay, as long as you are happy." General Caliput said in his heart. Although the Germans have done this before, it is only a stopgap measure after all. The side defense of the Wolf tank and the Hu Feng assault gun already have a good foundation, and adding a little bit is enough. However, the American T1 tank has a poor foundation. , further increase will have limited effect. And to be honest, this simple additional efficiency is definitely low. And after observing the body of the T1 tank, Caliput, who was an armored soldier, could feel that the load margin of this vehicle was very limited.

"I would like to know how your country would deal with a bunker that is beyond the reach of naval guns and cannot be dealt with by 75MM howitzers? Are you prepared to use engineers to blast it?" Caliput asked.

"We can get around it. There won't be many such bunkers." said an American officer next to him.

"Well, I want to say that you have underestimated the strength of the bunker. You can just use civil bunkers to build a fire support point at the top that can defend against 120MM heavy mortars or 105MM howitzers. This is not difficult. Think about it from the front. It is also easy to block a 75MM light howitzer. According to our experience, if you don’t want to risk human lives, the best way is to push a 105MM cannon to a close range and then fire repeatedly," Karupte said.

"I'm afraid I won't need this," said an American military officer. "The Japanese would not have built such a strong bunker."

"Before the war broke out, we also believed that Britain and France could not build such strong defenses.

We even found that the Belgians had falsified their fortress construction process. However, in actual combat, in order to destroy the enemy's bunkers, we had to develop more lethal weapons again and again. This is how the Rhino self-propelled gun appeared. ” Caliput said.

On the other side of the battlefield, Major General Karls was very satisfied with the infantry carrier vehicle modified by the Americans from a half-track vehicle. The Americans' strong industrial scale and their relatively small army make the Americans very equipped with motor vehicles. Even in private, Major General Karls said this in his evaluation of the U.S. Army: "If their soldiers If you want to walk more than 3 kilometers, you must take a car!”

It's not that the Germans can't do this, it's that they don't have the energy to do it in a world war environment. Now the Americans have created a relatively mature armored personnel carrier, which can be regarded as a reference for the Germans.

"If possible, I hope that in the future we can install a machine gun with a caliber above 20MM on our armored personnel carriers. The firepower of large-caliber machine guns is still somewhat inferior." Major General Karls said.

Another positive impression the U.S. Army has given the Germans is that the U.S. Army has a lot of radio equipment, and their communications have become fast and convenient. This is not unrelated to the Americans' strong support for wireless companies in recent years. The relatively sufficient competitive environment in the United States also makes them more efficient. This communication advantage also aroused the vigilance and attention of the Germans.

As for the subsequent Commando Breakthrough Exercise, the U.S. Army gave the Germans the feeling that if the force is small and the arms are relatively single, the U.S. Army can do a good job, but if the degree of integration of the arms becomes higher and the establishment is expanded, Then the operational efficiency of the US military will drop rapidly, which is actually easy to understand. Because the vast majority of Americans have never been on the battlefield, in Caliput's view, the most important thing about this commando attack method that requires outstanding grassroots officers as the skeleton is actual combat experience. There are many things that cannot be summed up in books and others can copy them at a glance.

Want to learn what to do? Learn slowly on the battlefield. This is also one of the main tasks of the German Army delegation, gradually correcting some of the mistakes of the US Army in exercises and even actual combat.

At this point, Caliput can actually go back home, and Major General Karls will stay and be responsible for the following matters. In the following days, Caliput and others gained a certain level of understanding of the U.S. military's logistics, equipment research and development, and mobilization systems, and used this to analyze the U.S. Army's land development in the next ten years and use it to As a basis for future evaluation of the U.S. military’s combat effectiveness.

After all, in the future, the Imperial German Army will only need to consider facing two enemies, one is Russia and the other is the United States! As for the British? Haha, the German Army 20 years later will really not take the size of the British Army into consideration!

A few days before leaving, General Caliput specifically compared the US Army's army development strategy with that of the German Army with Major General Karls. However, in the end General Caliput came to a seemingly funny conclusion: "The top leaders of the U.S. government have considered the possibility of falling out with the Germans in the future, but their army knows nothing about it. The U.S. Army watched on. The entire World War I was only studied at the technical and operational levels, but there was a lack of research at the strategic level. To some extent, this may be closely related to the superior geographical location of the Americans!"
