Chapter 2457 Landing operations 3
Then there, near the hills, I would use a bulldozer to build a sand dam. A 100kg-level shell would only knock out a small piece. If this sand dam cooperates with the surrounding terrain, it can effectively weaken the shelling effect and it will be difficult to destroy it in a short time. If I deploy a few more cigarette points, I can safely deploy the artillery position there, and then rely on the front-line observation points to suppress the entire landing area."
"Of course, if you have enough battleship shells, you can naturally waste them at will, but unfortunately, I don't think so. You should leave at least half of the ammunition to deal with the Japanese fleet that may appear, right?" Kariput said.
"In addition, let me say that the firepower of your country's assault troops is very problematic. Even if the Japanese firepower level is one-quarter of that of the general British troops, you will have to pay a very heavy price. The armored troops in offensive operations must have good omnidirectional defense capabilities, so we generally use Hufeng assault guns or wolf tanks as the spearhead of attack. The side of your country's T1 tank can only block the attack of ordinary heavy machine guns, and even use tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets to penetrate at mid-to-mid range. If there is a large-caliber machine gun, it will be easily penetrated." Kariput said.
"If this is practical, we will add some additional armor on the side, such as track plates, or load-bearing wheels. Wouldn't your country do the same?" Marshall said.
"Okay, just be happy." General Kariput said in his heart. Although the Germans have done this, it is just a temporary measure after all. The side defense of the wolf tank and Hu Feng assault gun has a good foundation, and adding points is enough. The American T1 tank has no foundation, and the increase effect is limited. To be honest, this simple additional efficiency is definitely low. Moreover, after observing the body of the T1 tank, Kariput, who was born in an armored soldier, could feel that the load margin of this car was very limited.
"I want to know what to do if your country encounters a bunker that is not accessible to the type of ship gun, and is not a 75mm howitzer can deal with? Are you planning to use engineers to blast it forcibly?" Kariput asked.
"We can get around. There won't be too much bunker like this." said a US officer next to him.
"Well, I want to say, you have a little underestimated the strength of the bunker. You can use a civil bunker to build the fire support point on the top of the building that can defend against the firepower support point of the 120mm heavy mortar or 105mm howitzer attack. This is not difficult. It is also easy to block the 75mm light howitzer from the front. And according to our experience, if you don't want to pile up people's lives, the best way is to push a 105mm cannon to a close range and shoot repeatedly." Karuput said.
"It seems that there is no need for this," said an American officer. "The Japanese probably wouldn't build such a strong bunker."
"Before the war broke out, we thought that Britain and France could not build such solid fortifications. We even found that the Belgians were making fraud during the construction of their fortresses. However, in actual combat, we had to develop more lethal weapons again and again in order to destroy the enemy's bunker. This is how rhino self-propelled cannons appeared." Kariput said.
On the other side of the battlefield, Major General Karls was very satisfied with the infantry transport vehicles transformed by the Americans with semi-tracked vehicles. The Americans' strong industrial scale and their relatively small army made the Americans' motor vehicles very sufficient. In private, Major General Karls' evaluation of the US Army said this: "If their soldiers want to walk more than 3 kilometers, they must take a car!"
This thing is not something that the Germans can't do, but that they have no spare energy to do in the world war environment. Now the Americans have built relatively mature armored conveyor vehicles, which can be regarded as a reference for the Germans.
"If possible, I hope that in the future, our armored conveyor vehicle can install a 20mm caliber or above machine gun. The firepower of large-caliber machine guns is still a bit worse." Major General Carls said.
Another positive impression that the US Army gave the Germans is that the US military has a lot of radio equipment, and their communications have become faster and more convenient, which is related to the Americans' strong support for radio companies in recent years. The more sufficient competitive environment in the United States has also made them more efficient. This advantage in communication has also aroused the vigilance and attention of the Germans.
As for the subsequent commando breakthrough exercise, the US Army gave the Germans the feeling that if the troops are small and the troops are relatively single, the US military can do a good job, but if the degree of fusion of troops becomes higher and the organization is expanded, the US military's operational efficiency will drop rapidly, which is actually easy to understand. Because most Americans have never been on the battlefield after all, in Caripot's view, the most important way of attacking a commando that requires excellent grassroots officers as a skeleton is practical experience. There are many things that are not something that others can copy after being summarized into books.
What to do if you want to learn? Learn slowly on the battlefield. This is also one of the main tasks of the German Army delegation, and gradually correct some mistakes of the US Army in repeated exercises and even actual combat.
At this point, Kariput can actually go home, and Kars will stay and be responsible for the following matters. In the following days, Kariput and others have a certain degree of understanding of the US military's logistics supply, equipment research and development and mobilization system, and use it to analyze the development of the US military's army in the next decade, and will use this as the basis for evaluating the combat effectiveness of the US military in the future.
After all, in the future, the German Imperial Army needs to consider facing only two enemies, one is Russia and the other is the United States! As for the British? Haha, the German Army will not really take the size of the British Army seriously in 20 years!
A few days before leaving, General Kariput specifically compared the US Army's development strategy with Major General Kariput. However, in the end, General Kariput came to a seemingly funny conclusion: "The senior management of the US government has considered the possibility of turning against the Germans in the future, but their army knew nothing about it. The US Army watched the entire war, but only conducted research on the technical and combat levels, but lacked research on the strategic level. To some extent, this may be closely related to the superior geographical location of the Americans!"
