Chapter 466 Iron Castle Training Center

Iron Castle, this name with a sci-fi style of later generations appeared on the map in the prince's bedroom, in a remote corner in the northwest of the Kingdom of Bavaria, at the proposal of Prince Ruprecht, and in Prince Leopold With the full support of Bavaria, it can be said that the world's first tank mechanization synthesis training center was officially established!

Well, it's still a bit early to talk about the mechanized synthesis training center. At present, the only training content that can be implemented in this training center is only two, one is the coordinated combat of infantry and tanks. The other one is to platoon first-level armored vehicles to fight together.... There are only 5 armored vehicles of various types in the entire training center, and trucks are needed to make up the number when training begins. Besides the Iron Fort Training Center, the prince arranged for one of his most elite Royal Guards Battalion to be responsible for security work, and this Guards Battalion is also equipped with 50 vehicles of various types, including but not limited to trucks and armored vehicles ,train....... That’s right, there are trains. The horsepower of trucks in this era is still enough. It is still very difficult to transport a 15-ton to 18-ton assault gun from the factory to the test site, so flatbed trucks can only be used to transport a large number of heavy vehicles. equipment. And because of this reason, Germany's first armored vehicle production plant is also located not far away. No way, this is the prince's trump card. In the first battle, whether the prince eats meat or soup depends entirely on how it goes. So, a factory, a design institute, plus a railway and a synthetic training center cost the prince as much as 8 million marks! This tm is 400,000 pounds! Enough for the wages of 8,000 skilled workers for one year! It hurts to spend this money. "All of this is necessary! The Teutonic cavalry of the new era will be born from here!" Looking at the heart-wrenching numbers on the bill, the prince comforted himself like this. After a lot of money is invested, there must be results, and both the prince and Prince Leopold are very concerned about this. He went back to inspect every three to five times, which made Major General Schmidt, who was temporarily in charge of the operation of the entire training center, Alexander. Breakthrough tank No. 2 has become a key development target because of its thick armor and the powerful 75mm short gun. Now this battle-one version of the No. 3 assault gun has a more formal name, that is Wasp A breakthrough tank, but because the prince emphasized that as a tank, it must have a turret that can rotate, so this tank was eventually renamed the Wasp assault gun. In addition, the design of this assault gun was completed after three large-scale changes, and good people also made it the No. 3 assault gun... As Bavaria's chief tanker, Mike now has a particularly resounding nickname, that is Armored Mike! In addition to testing tanks on various complex terrains, his current job is to study how to cooperate with a group of infantry brothers. When the infantrymen who had just arrived at the Iron Fort saw this huge thing, they felt envious at first, and fortunate at the second. Instead of facing the hail of bullets, these veterans have experienced many exercises, and now they are very aware of how fragile and unbearable human life is under the current firepower... As for being lucky, it is naturally that this big guy is on their side, not on the enemy's side. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is good to have such a big thing to block bullets in front! At least that's what everyone thought before the real thing happened. But in practice, that's not the case at all! "Fuck! Where are you?" Mike later became the number one armored man in Germany.

After being called the Iron Butcher, he still remembers the scene of his first battle with infantry and tanks. Mike drove the Wasp assault gun to take the lead, and then a whole row of soldiers followed behind his chariot. The gang became a moving steel fortress.

After relying blindly, people will even lose some of the most basic reactions. For example, if there is no Wasp assault gun, then the soldiers in this platoon can at least form an inverted triangle battle formation when attacking. The infantry squad is on the two wings, like the claws of a crab, and the third squad with heavy weapons is located in the rear, using machine guns and grenades in their hands to support the advance of the troops. The battles between the various combat groups in the squad will cooperate with each other in this way. Under the firepower of smoke bombs and rifles, the blasters and submachine gunners approach the position, and then after successfully blasting the opponent's bunker, the submachine gunners clean the trenches , and then the other members of the team quickly advanced along the path opened by the former. But now that this thing is available, the infantry subconsciously move around the chariot, and all the people are crowded behind the chariot, as if relying on the chariot can solve all problems. The original agility disappeared. According to Schmidt, he felt that the soldiers behind the chariot were a group of puppets! While conducting experiments on a field close to the actual combat environment, Mike also felt that it was difficult to operate this giant beast! Huge chariots move on a simulated battlefield full of stakes, iron wires, bomb craters and trenches. The Wasp assault gun is immobile like a mud-footed giant. It struggles in the mud, avoids puddles of unknown depth, and bypasses those barbed wire fences And trenches, because after the former part is involved in the track, it may entangle the walking equipment, and it is somewhat difficult to troubleshoot in actual combat. The trenches are even more troublesome. A slightly wider trench may cause the chariot to get stuck when crossing the trench. "It's just a 900-meter simulated battlefield, and we walked for a full 70 minutes! The people in the training center are so vicious, they actually used 5 water pumps to create a swamp for us!" Mike wrote in his diary narrated in this way. Tank single-vehicle combat has no future. Mike realized this at the beginning, because the Wasp assault gun is not invincible. According to his estimation, if the Russian 3-inch gun is equipped with armor-piercing projectiles, then it will be at 500 meters. It can easily penetrate the frontal armor of the assault gun at a distance. Moreover, landmines and cluster grenades can easily destroy the fragile walking part of this chariot, and even a wooden stake or a bundle of viper wire will make it difficult to move. Even without these, the muddy terrain can take a toll on the tank's fuel and poor engine life. "It's time to formulate a more detailed rule." Ruprecht said after reading the report.
