"Why do we need to have another meeting?" In the staff department, a major general in the logistics supply of tanks and armored vehicles closed the logistics supply parameter form in front of him and stood up impatiently.
There have been too many staff meetings recently, and he finally found time to revise the supply parameter table in the past few days.
This is all his hard work. Every number in this table is an accurate number obtained during the exercise, and it is the most reasonable data that has been modified by countless people.
This form is the fruit of countless people's efforts, and it is also a priceless treasure. It is the calculation parameter for the internal supply materials of the Tang Empire's army. No amount of money can buy it... experience!
Once a war breaks out, all logistics supply units must provide logistics supplies to the units they are responsible for according to this type of form. This is related to the combat effectiveness of the troops, the efficiency of supply materials, and the elimination of wasted efforts...
Although this value has never been truly accurate, the continued accuracy of this value is itself an advancement in logistics supply science.
"I don't know, General Burton and General Strauss are both going to attend. Marshal Loew is in charge. I heard that Marshal Redman and Marshal Tiger are also going to be there." The secretary who came to inform him said a series of words.
many names.
Then the logistics supply major general had no objection. He packed up his things and quickly headed to the conference room of Wuying Palace.
When he arrived at the scene, he was completely dumbfounded: What the hell, what kind of meeting was this? How come almost all the military bosses he knew and didn't know were present.
Not only did the three imperial marshals come, but there were also commanders of various armies, famous generals of the armored forces, the commander of the First Armored Corps, and at least seven or eight division commanders of the main armored divisions.
He really couldn't figure out why so many people were meeting: at first, he even thought that a war had broken out.
Yes, apart from the fact that the Tang Empire was preparing to declare war, what was the purpose of convening so many senior generals for a meeting at once?
Uneasily, the logistics major general sat in an empty seat in the back row, and then the young general felt somewhat relieved.
Because he did not see an air force commander in the venue, there seemed to be only a liaison officer with the rank of colonel in blue air force uniforms, which obviously did not look like starting a war.
According to the military operation requirements of the Tang Empire, if there is really going to be a war with other countries, the Air Force must have a large number of officers participating. Because they are the vanguard of the attack and the sharpest spear of the Tang Empire.
Moreover, there was only one liaison officer from the navy. Although he had the rank of major general, it was obvious that this meeting was not to discuss the declaration of war.
"Hello!" A general next to him stretched out his hand and saw that he was a major general. The Tang Empire had a color system for military types. You can easily tell that this is an armored unit just by looking at the pink color on the edge of the collar.
commander.
The rank of major general indicates that he should be the commander of an armored corps or the chief of staff of an armored corps.
The supply major general immediately stretched out his hand and shook the opponent's hand: "Hello! I am Bullland, the supply staff officer of the General Staff."
He was a native of Beiling, considered an old man from Bunas, but he was very young at the time and had no military merit. After studying in the military academy for a year, he served in the General Staff Headquarters, and his resume was actually very average.
"Commander of the 17th Armored Corps, Sergeant Chen!" the officer introduced himself.
After the two exchanged a few words, the three marshals arrived, and everyone stood up and saluted: "Long live my emperor!"
Loew, who was presiding over the meeting, pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to take a seat, and then began the discussion of the meeting: "This meeting is held to announce something to everyone. With the advancement of technology, our armored forces
The combat cover regulations are going to be revised."
"Huh? Changed again?" Hearing what Loew said, many generals immediately complained in low voices. As the most technologically advanced country in the world, many of the techniques and tactics of the Tang Empire were constantly changing.
Take the Air Force's rules of engagement, for example. With the emergence of jet fighters, the Air Force's rules of engagement have also been significantly changed.
The previous situation of fighting in formations of hundreds of fighter jets was obviously not suitable for jet fighters. Now the Air Force of the Tang Empire is reducing the size of the formation in an attempt to maximize the performance of jet fighters.
"The latest research results of the technical department, the 1st Armored Division is preparing experimental equipment for a new type of defensive armor called explosive reactive armor." Loew said as he ordered two noncommissioned officers to hang up the drawings.
He pointed to the drawing and continued: "This kind of armor can effectively resist enemy artillery shell attacks and reduce the risk of tank penetration. However, it is not so perfect. Its name is explosive reactive armor, so it is
After being hit by a cannonball, an explosion will occur..."
"Now, we will ask relevant experts to explain its working principle." Loew gave up his position and handed the podium to a technician in a white coat.
Immediately afterwards, the technician began to explain the principle and working status of this explosive reactive armor.
Soon, someone brought up a player and played the video footage from the experimental site, allowing everyone to intuitively experience the state of the explosive reactive armor after it was hit.
"What the hell... if the infantry stood aside, would it be all over?" Master Chen turned to one side and asked Bullan, who was sitting next to him.
Major General of Logistics Supply Bullan nodded: "If you stand next to this, it is probably no different from eating a grenade."
"It might be worse." Master Chen said with some concern: "This thing has more charges than a grenade."
While they were talking, Loew came to the front again. He interrupted the discussion of his men and said: "So, we need to formulate a new drill in advance for infantry to accompany tanks to avoid accidental injuries.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The distance between the infantry and the tanks must be increased, and they cannot be too close." A general lowered his voice and said to his colleagues beside him.
"Didn't we increase the distance last time?" the colleague next to him asked back. Due to accidental damage caused by tank ricochet, the Tang Empire had already revised the infantry-tank coordination manual.
At that time, it was found in actual combat that following tanks was too close, and soldiers were easily injured by ricochet missiles attacking the tanks. Therefore, the Tang Empire revised the regulations on infantry-tank coordination and clearly increased the safe distance for following tanks.
Although there are still soldiers who are willing to follow the tanks, they are only a few cases. The correct approach is that the infantry should be at least ten meters away from the tanks to avoid being hit by stray bullets that bounce off the tank armor.
Everyone was talking a lot, because the explosion distance of the grenade was almost twenty meters, so whether the soldiers should continue to distance themselves from the tanks this time became the focus of discussion.
From the perspective of infantry-tank coordination, the closer the infantry is to the tank is not the better, nor is the farther the better.
If it is too far away from the tank, the infantry will be easily suppressed by enemy fire and cut off from the tank. This is actually a very dangerous state. The casualties of the infantry will increase. The infantry covers the tanks, and the tanks cover the infantry.
The state will be broken.
But if you are too close to the tank, then the tank is indeed safe, but the infantry following the tank is in danger: the enemy will use various weapons to attack the tank on the battlefield, and those light weapons cannot penetrate the armor of the tank and hit the tank.
The bullets will be bounced off, and these stray bullets will easily kill the infantry surrounding the tank.
Now, here comes the more dangerous thing. If the soldiers are still crowded around the tank and an explosive reactive armor is detonated, then the surrounding infantry will be destroyed in a sudden - because a tank full of explosive reactive armor, in a sense
It's basically the same as wearing a grenade-woven vest...
"If this, this... explosive reactive armor is really used, the safe distance between infantry and tanks should be kept at least about 30 meters." A commander of an armored unit lamented.
The officer sitting in front of him immediately turned around and retorted: "This is a war! How can it be so safe? If you are 30 meters away from the tank, why do you need infantry? Wouldn't it be safer to just let the tank go up by itself?"
"Then how much do you want?" the other party asked, somewhat unconvinced.
The officer in front gave his own answer: "Twenty meters, I think it's about the same!"
"Twenty meters? Are you responsible for the loss of the infantry?" The officer behind sneered and asked in disapproval.
The officer immediately blamed it: "Who is responsible for this?"
Not just the two of them, many people started to quarrel... There were whispers in the venue.
