Chapter 203 Lectures Continued
"Okay, I'll just talk about this for the time being. If you have any questions, you can raise them now and we can discuss them together." Zhou Zhen clapped his hands, threw away the chalk in his hand and faced the many students and officers in the classroom with a smile.
At this time, a colonel officer stood up, and his originally grim face showed a sincere expression and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, hello, I am Erwin Rommel, the captain of the base camp guard. Your explanation just now was very exciting, but I still don't understand some things. The theory that the tank attack you mentioned, and the infantry followed the tactics of the tank occupying the position sounds good, but I still don't quite understand that the infantry's marching speed is obviously not up to the speed of the tank. How do you ensure that the infantry can follow the tank to occupy and consolidate the position?"
At this time, Erwin Rommel did not have the style of the famous desert fox in later generations, and now he is more like a soldier with a strong desire for knowledge. Now he is only a middle-level officer favored by the head of state because he wrote the infantry attack. It was originally because he heard the news that the Chinese officer was coming to the Army University to give a lecture yesterday. He was completely fascinated by the course taught by this Chinese officer, so when Zhou Zhen stopped the lecture, he stood up and asked his questions.
Zhou Zhen nodded: "Your question is well raised. This question involves the issue of how infantry fights in synchronously with tanks. At the beginning, the biggest problem before us was the problem of transport tools. Everyone knows that relying solely on the two legs of infantry will definitely not keep up with the speed of tanks. If you use a truck, it will be too fragile. Therefore, our technical and scientific research department has developed a new fully enclosed armored personnel carrier with certain bulletproof capabilities. It can quickly follow the tanks and have certain armor protection capabilities. In order to let your dear colleagues understand what I just said more intuitively, we specially made a documentary. Now please watch it."
After saying that, Zhou Zhen signaled to Cheng Kai and Fan Bingbing below, and the two immediately took several large boxes from the hands of several German soldiers behind him and started to work on them. At this time, several German soldiers hung white cloth on the walls of the classroom, and the curtains on the window were also pulled down. A small projector was ready to work on them in a short while.
As the classroom door was closed and the curtains fell, the classroom became dark, and then the screen began to light up with a burst of intense music. A Siberian tiger tank appeared on the picture. This tank had a semicircular turret and huge muzzle. He was seen galloping rapidly on the screen. No matter it was muddy wetlands, snow, Gobi Deserts or even obstacles, it could not stop it from moving forward.
"Oh, God, is this the Chinese tank?" Guderian exclaimed. The unparalleled speed of the Siberian tiger shocked the creator and implementer of the blitz theory.
When the tank gun fired, the power of the 100-mm smoothbore gun shocked everyone in the classroom. Amid the huge explosion, the strong fortresses were destroyed one by one. This made Guderian Pingyuri still shatter the good mood of the seven-fifth caliber tank on the No. 4 tank that was about to be equipped with the troops. It turned out that the tank he was proud of was outdated before it opened the factory gate.
In the movie demonstration, the unparalleled mobile surname and firepower of the Siberian Tiger tank had shocked the German officials in the classroom. During the protection experiment, the Siberian Tiger stopped motionlessly on the ground, allowing two 75-caliber artillery guns to bombard his front armor. After the smoke passed, the tank was safe and sound. This result not only shocked the students in the classroom, but also shocked Guderian and Rommel.
After demonstrating the surname of Siberian Tiger, the picture began to change and became a battlefield of war. Hundreds of Siberian Tiger tanks launched an attack on the positions of the Soviet Russian troops on the broad battlefield, and artillery shells continued to fall in the tank group. On the battlefield filled with smoke, the tanks were attacking quickly. They rushed to the positions of the Soviet troops. When they rushed to the positions of the Soviet troops, the students in the classroom found that the Soviet soldiers had collapsed at this time, and they fled back one after another.
At this time, a group of strange armored vehicles rushed up behind the Siberian Tiger tank group. It had no turrets and barrels, but had a heavy machine gun on the body. They followed closely behind the tank and charged, with flames pouring around the body, destroying the enemy infantry that had leaked the net one by one.
After the Siberian tiger tanks attacked the Soviet positions, they did not stop. They went to continue the attack. At this time, the armored vehicles quickly drove about thirty meters away from the position and stopped. The rear door of the armored vehicles quickly opened, and a fully armed soldier came out from inside. Careful Guderian and Rommel found that there were no more or less soldiers coming out of each armored vehicle, which was exactly the base of the same squad.
After these infantry came out of the armored vehicles, they quickly attacked the Soviet positions. At this time, the armored vehicles stayed at the front of the position and used the large-caliber machine guns on the vehicles to support the infantry's attack. In less than half an hour, a Soviet army, which seemed indestructible, was conquered.
The video was finished after more than 40 minutes of screening. When the screen went dark, the classroom was still silent. At this time, the students and officers in the classroom were still immersed in the inspiring scene and the battlefield where artillery fire was just now.
After a while, the lights in the classroom started to light up, and all the people in the classroom stood up, and a burst of thunderous applause rang out. Guderian walked to Zhou Zhen with a smile on his face, and saw him solemnly salute Zhou Zhen.
"Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, please allow me to congratulate you as a veteran. Your country has a first-class armored force in the world. You are the pride of your country's armed forces." Soldiers always respect the strong. The images and pictures of the movie just now are enough to prove the strength of the armed force to which Zhou Zhen and the others belong.
Although Guderian, as the director of the German armored soldiers, had already seen the report written by Colonel Hans, he was still skeptical in his heart. Now that he saw the real documentary in the movie, he already completely believed what Colonel Hans said. The armored army owned by Chahar had left Germany behind both theoretically and practically in practical experience.
Looking at Guderian's solemn military salute to him, Zhou Zhen and his party felt a surge in their hearts while returning the salute. Once upon a time, the Chinese army was synonymous with incompetence, cowardice and low combat effectiveness in the world. Now, the general recognized by the world's first-class military power has personally recognized his status. How can they not feel proud and proud?
At this time, Rommel, who was standing by, also walked up and said to Zhou Zhen: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, I finally understand what you mean by the synchronous attack and simultaneous occupation of infantry and the coordinated tanks. The Siberian Tiger tank and infantry fighting vehicle you invented are an amazing invention, and they perfectly combine your theory and practice. Congratulations, colleagues from China."
"Thank you, General Guderian, Colonel Rommel. I think your country's colleagues will soon have tanks like us." Seeing that these German colleagues were impressed by the war weapons produced by Chahar, Zhou Zhen also took the opportunity to reveal a little secret.
In fact, the purpose of Zhou Zhen's trip was not only to transport Siberian Tiger tanks and 100 tank diesel engines, but also to promote the Type 63 armored transport vehicle. To promote this armored transport vehicle, the first thing to do is to impress the senior management of the German armored troops. It is much better to promote it by them than Zhou Zhen and others themselves.
"Oh, is it true?" Rommel and Goodrian shouted in surprise at the same time.
Although they were already senior executives of the German team at this time, the news that the German government had purchased all the manufacturing drawings of the Siberian Tiger tank was still highly confidential, and they did not know. Now Zhou Zhen inadvertently leaked this news to them, which surprised them.
At this time, Colonel Hans came out from somewhere and said with a smile: "This is true, Mr. Goodrian, there are several tanks parked on the school's training ground. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."
Hans' voice was not loud, but this was like a thunderclap in the classroom, which made everyone in the classroom stunned. Everyone was stunned for a while, and suddenly there was a clamor, and everyone was running towards the training ground behind the school. Zhou Zhen looked at Guderian's agile movements speechlessly, unable to believe that this was something that an old man who was already forty-nine years could have.
When everyone arrived at the training ground, two Siberian tiger tanks and two Type 63 armored vehicles were already standing on the training ground. The two tanks and armored vehicles had been marked with iron cross marks as required by the Germans.
More than a hundred academy and officers surrounded the tanks and armored vehicles and were covered with water. After all, what I saw on the screen just now was shocking. Looking at the tank's huge muzzles and thick armor, Guderian sighed and said to Zhou Zhen: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, with such sharp weapons, no wonder you can defeat those Slavs and escape."
Zhou Zhen couldn't help but smile and didn't say anything. Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and martial arts. Although this old man admitted the combat effectiveness of the Chahar army, he is still saying that Chahar has taken advantage of the tank's energy.
Zhou Zhen smiled and said, "Dear General Guderian, Colonel Rommel, I don't know if we can have this honor to demonstrate the surname Nengneng of this tank for you and all the gentlemen here."
"Honored."
"sure"
Guderian and Rommel also said with a smile to see the level of their peers from the other side of the distant ocean.
