Chapter 290: A Decision of Both Superiority and Death

Wang Zhong stared at General Tukhachev.

Tukhachev looked like a rabbit being stared at by an eagle at first, but he probably figured it out suddenly. It was all about death, so he might as well act fearless.

He held his head high and faced Wang Zhong directly: "Before, I always thought that I was the one who understood modern warfare the most in the Ante Army. It was me who asked to form an armored unit and expand the army..."

Wang Zhong: "How dare you mention expanding the army? Do those watered-down armored divisions you created have any use other than to help the Proson ace tanker brush up his record?

"Your understanding of modern warfare is only superficial! You don't even understand the key to modern warfare! No, you know nothing at all!"

Tukhachev had just had a resigned expression, but when he heard Wang Zhong say that he knew nothing about modern warfare, he immediately became angry.

With the support of anger, it seemed that defeat and humiliation were not important. He just wanted to compete with Wang Zhong in academics!

Tukhachev: "Tell me, what did I not understand? ”

Wang Zhong: “You don’t understand anything! There are people in the entire Ante Army who truly understand modern warfare, but it’s definitely not you! Nor is it that traitor General Skorobo!”

Tukhachev: “The key to modern warfare is breakthrough, deep breakthrough of the enemy’s defense line, encirclement and annihilation of the enemy in mobile warfare! Is there anything wrong with this understanding?”

Wang Zhong: “This is just an appearance! You don’t understand the real strength of the Proson Army at all!”

Tukhachev raised his head: “Then tell me, the 41st president of the Suvorov Military Academy! As the 38th president, I question you! "

Wang Zhong had no idea that Tukhachev had been his "predecessor". If he thought about it carefully, this kind of paper-talking temper might have been taught by teaching.

It was like a perpetual motion machine expert who gave lectures in a very logical way.

If Wang Zhong had just traveled through time, he might have been scared. After all, before traveling through time, he was just an ordinary college graduate, and he was still timid in front of his thesis supervisor who had just been promoted to associate professor.

It's different now. He is Rokosov who has returned from hell. The military theory books he read as a fan before have turned into his understanding of war.

Those theories are like the best steel. After being refined and summarized by so many military strategists, they were forged countless times in the furnace of war by the god of death wielding a giant hammer called "sacrifice", and finally cast into a sword.

Holding a sharp sword, how could Wang Zhong be afraid of such a paper tiger!

Wang Zhong: "Then let me tell you where the Prosen people are really strong. Do you think they are strong in tanks? No, during the Melania Campaign, most of their tank divisions were equipped with Type 1 and Type 2, which are the same as our BT tanks! No, our BT is stronger than them, after all, it has a 45mm gun.

"But the Prosons fought a blitzkrieg. This is a completely different war from the previous ones. Their troops penetrated deep into the enemy's defense line at once, and messed up the logistics and command organs.

"Is this a feat accomplished by tanks? Is it a feat accomplished only by tanks?"

Tukhachev snorted contemptuously: "Then tell me what you rely on? Your series of questions just now can't hide the fact that you didn't say anything!"

Wang Zhong: "I was about to say it! The enemy relies on three points."

He raised three fingers and looked around the court, deliberately ignoring Olga who deliberately opened the one-way glass to overlook the venue.

"First, it is the advancement of communication technology. More powerful and more portable radios, as well as the widespread radio equipment, enable Proson's campaign headquarters to understand the situation on the front line more clearly.

"As long as the commander of Proson is willing, he can even communicate directly with a command vehicle on the front line! The innovation of radio technology allows the Proson troops scattered throughout the battlefield to work together like cells!

"Second, complete coordination of arms. Proson's troops have much better coordination than ours. His armored division is equipped with a large number of auxiliary troops, and the firepower of the accompanying infantry regiment is even higher than our infantry division!

"And they can also get support from the Air Force. The Stuka bombs the target according to the instructions of the ground forces, and can even take out ground tanks to mark the target with smoke, and the Air Force bombs such cooperation!

"Our Air Force can only rely on itself to search for the enemy, because most ground units do not have radios.

"Third, the superb quality of the soldiers. This point is particularly obvious when I command the naval infantry.

"A considerable number of naval infantry are high school students. They know why they are fighting, what to do, and what the tactical goals are. Even if they temporarily lose contact with their superiors, the naval infantry have extremely high initiative.

" "And at least the grassroots non-commissioned officers of the Proson Army have similar initiative as the naval infantry. A sergeant can command a combat team to deal with us!

"When fighting with the Proson Army, this feeling is particularly obvious. As long as they have one non-commissioned officer who has not been killed, they can maintain their fighting spirit!

"My troops were so disadvantaged in Loktov that they could still hold on to the Proson people in hand-to-hand combat because the backbone of my troops at that time were military academy students."

Wang Zhong stopped, mainly because he was a little thirsty after talking too much in one breath, and he said to the person next to him: "Water!"

The judge immediately handed Wang Zhong a bottle of Coke.

After Wang Zhong drank it, he realized: Is it a mistake? The one who likes to drink Coke is General Gorky. Forget it.

Tukhachev looked thoughtful and did not even take advantage of Wang Zhong to drink water to defend himself. He was obviously thinking about Wang Zhong's words - he really was thinking about Wang Zhong's words.

Wang Zhong couldn't help but tease: "Are you starting to think about my words now? It's too late! Just like General Skorobo, it's too late!"

Tukhachev pursed his lips and did not refute.

Wang Zhong continued: "And you, look at what you did. Did you approve that radios were only distributed to the platoon leader's car?"

Tukhachev: "It's not me...but I have to quibble about this. Our radio output is too low, and the tube factory is in Fort St. Andrew, because our best university in this area is in Fort St. Andrew..."

Wang Zhong: "Then why don't you reduce production to a quarter? We lost 18,000 tanks in the 18th day of the war, but the enemy only put 4,000 tanks into the attack! What is the use of a large and useless tank force? ?

"You saw the success of the Proscenians in Melania and the Carolingians, and they expanded our original 18 tank divisions to 96! The result is that these divisions have no auxiliary troops at all, and there are not enough radios and radios!

"The expansion of the army has also made it difficult to describe the personnel quality of these divisions, and it has also affected other arms. Because tank pilots need to graduate at least tenth grade, and there are only so many tenth grade graduates every year!

"Because all tenth-grade graduates were packed into the tank unit, other technical arms did not have that many soldiers. The infantry was even more pitiful. More than half of the infantry had only attended Sunday schools run by churches.

"So not only the tank troops disappeared like bubbles, but also the infantry troops! You are simply causing trouble for thousands of years!"

Wang Zhong stopped and glared at Tukhachev. He knew that he should give an example at this time, but he did not remember the specific example. He only remembered that when communicating with the surviving tank unit officers, he heard that a luxuriously equipped tank division was killed. The enemy's infantry division was wiped out.

Because he couldn't remember the serial number, he could only say: "Some tank divisions clearly had advanced T34s and KVs, but they were eaten up by the enemy's infantry divisions! It was because inexperienced commanders used the assault guns equipped by the enemy's infantry divisions to Think of it as a tank, stop and shoot.

"As a result, we were beaten by the enemy's infantry troops. This division only had one battalion of accompanying infantry! And its firepower was far inferior to others. There were only four infantry artillery pieces in total.

"After the infantry was defeated, the tanks became the infantry's military exploits. A tank division was defeated by an infantry division in the wilderness! What a shame!"

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, Turgenev interjected: "It should be the 27th Tank Division. This division does have only one battalion of accompanying infantry, and is not accompanied by artillery, engineers, anti-tank and air defense troops. The reconnaissance force also only has one cavalry battalion. "

Wang Zhong, who was supported by Turgenev's information, became even more arrogant: "Did you hear that? It was you who blindly expanded the army and ruined them!"

Tukhachev lowered his head.

Suddenly he said, "Yeah, maybe you have a point."

Wang Zhong: "Maybe? Are you still stubborn now?"

Tukhachev: "No, I say maybe because we are still unsure about the specific performance of your synthetic division, right? The number of mobile army auxiliary units you want to form is unprecedented. You know these auxiliaries that you are asking for. Are the troops divided into several army groups?

"If such an elite force suffered heavy losses, how would you explain it to His Majesty the Tsar?"

Wang Zhong: "My troops do not need to be responsible to the Tsar, as long as they are worthy of Ant's mother."

Tukhachev: "Then if such a unit is defeated, how will you explain to Ant's mother?"

Wang Zhong pressed his hands on the railing of the witness stand, leaned forward, and looked at Tukhachev: "When the time comes, I will take responsibility like you."

Tukhachev hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Then I'll wait and see - although I want to say this, I can't see the specifics. Lieutenant General Rokossov, what you just said convinced me. I have been It's strange why our troops are like butter to the enemy.

"I hope your troops can block Proson's sharp knife."

Wang Zhong: "It will."

Tukhachev stared at Wang Zhong for a long time, until the chief judge was about to remind him, and then he said: "I was wrong, both you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Then he turned to the judge: "Your Majesty, I am ready to admit responsibility for my mistakes."

Wang Zhong: "Are you going to stop protesting?"

"The facts are before me, I can't help but deny them."

The presiding judge looked towards the jury box: "Does the jury want to speak?"

Marshal Boris, the current Chief of the General Staff, said: "There is nothing more to say. Lieutenant General Rokossov's speech is very enlightening. If it was raised before the war...it's nothing, don't worry about it."

The chief judge looked at His Majesty the Tsar, who had opened the window to listen, and after confirming her nod, said: "General Tukhachev, your wrong military line has caused huge losses to the Ant Empire Army and Ant's mother. This court sentences you to death!”

The chief judge raised his gavel and slammed it down.
