Imperial Overlord

"No target found! It should be safe here!" Putting down the telescope in his hand, the commander of a No. 4 tank was half exposed, looking at a nearby farm.

He pressed his throat communicator and loudly ordered his driver: "Go forward! I don't know where they are hiding, all I know is that it is our mission to seize this village."

"Let the infantry go forward! Watch out for movement nearby! I can't see the enemy, **** it!" he shouted to the infantrymen following his tank as he kept his tank forward.

The infantry company commander nodded, then pointed his finger to the places where the two wings could be used as support positions, and shouted to his men: "Control those places! Be careful of the enemy's suppressive firepower!"

The two machine gun teams heard the order and ran quickly to the target area with the new MG-42 machine guns newly issued to them.

The densely packed infantry on both sides of the tank, all carrying their own weapons, bent over, and used the fence outside the town as a cover, and began to approach this quiet town.

"Stop advancing! Stupid! You have been destroyed! The referee gave the result! Half of your troops lost! Withdraw from the battle!" The voice of the tank battalion commander suddenly sounded in the headset.

"Hello? What do you mean? What do you mean by being wrecked? You made it clear? What happened to half of the soldiers killed? Why was my tank destroyed! I didn't see any ambushing troops!" Using the throat communicator, he questioned the commander of the battalion headquarters.

He took off the earphones on his ears, hung them around his neck, and squinted at the peaceful village in front of him.

Soon, a Stalker tank destroyer disguised as a straw pile pushed the straw and rushed out.

On his flanks, many camouflaged soldiers stood up with their weapons - almost 40 meters away from the German troops attacking on the road.

"Put down your weapons! My snipers have been aiming at these machine gun positions left for you for a long time! You are the quickest to die..." A platoon leader holding an STG-44 assault rifle walked to two holding In front of the machine gun attacker's infantry, he pressed the opponent's muzzle down with a smile.

"God! I didn't realize they were so close to us!" Looking at the "enemies" in front of him, the commander of the infantry company on the attacking side said depressedly.

This is an exercise, a coordinated training exercise for troops already equipped with new weapons.

The offensive and defensive drill in front of them is a random victory drill that allows the two sides to understand each other's actual combat nature without a rehearsal plan.

Strawed German soldiers began throwing makeshift disguises at their feet, while their "enemy" was now condemned to be utterly hors de combat.

A total of 2 coordinated No. 4 tanks were destroyed, and the infantry following the tanks were almost wiped out on the road.

"Hey! Your clothes are really special, and they match the grass on your body just right!" Looking at the three-color camouflage on the soldiers of the mechanized infantry division, the infantrymen in standard German gray-green uniforms envied.

They can follow the tank troops to fight, and they are also one of the most powerful troops in the German army. Before they had a big name called Panzergrenadiers.

"My God! How much does your equipment cost?" Seeing that these infantry divisions, who were not as strong as themselves, even had camouflage fabrics buttoned on their helmets, another German infantryman on the attacking side was also full of small stars.

This is the change that Li Le, as a traveler, has brought to the entire German army, from weapons to tactics, and even to the details of equipment-compared to steel, the raw materials of Germany's textile industry are still sufficient.

Even if it is not enough, it does not matter. The large occupied area and the French Vichy government can produce textiles for civilian use to subsidize the transformation of the domestic textile industry in Germany.

Under the intervention of Li Le, the German Army is fully changing to camouflage combat smocks for its troops to protect its infantry and better hide itself in the wild.

In fact, don't get me wrong in World War II when the German gray-green uniforms ignored the protective colors - in Europe, gray-green uniforms can provide good camouflage for soldiers in cities and forests.

However, as the war continues, in the vast grasslands and in more and more combat environments, this single-color military uniform is not suitable for modern warfare.

Germany was also the first country in history to use multicolor camouflage, and the Army accepted this camouflage smock faster than Li Le imagined.

Although this three-color camouflage coating was widely used in the transformation project of the mechanized infantry division, the German Army placed an order for a full 1 million sets of camouflage smocks in one breath, which shows the degree of importance it attaches.

Not only camouflage smocks, Germany's animal husbandry is also very developed, they have a large number of leather production, so another kind of humanized equipment that is widely praised by experimenters has also begun mass production.

This kind of thing is the H-type tactical vest that replaces the traditional German Y-type tactical armed belt.

With this tactical vest, infantrymen can carry the ammunition they have followed and perform tactical maneuvers such as tumbling more easily.

The German infantrymen who used this tactical vest, during the exercise, completed the movements with a very high degree of fluency, which was very welcome by the grassroots soldiers and officers.

This convenient thing has even been improved by German engineers based on this era - when carrying heavy objects, it can even be hung on this vest and let it share part of the weight!

As a result, the sub-shooter of the machine gun can carry more ammunition, and the load of the entire infantry squad has been increased by 40%.

In addition, the Stalker tank destroyer has been ordered from the factory to be painted with a preset three-color camouflage paint to suit the battlefield environment.

Now it seems that these camouflages have indeed achieved a certain degree of effect, providing heavy weapons and equipment with a good ability to prevent the other party from discovering.

"My God! They have 2 submachine guns in one infantry squad...Damn it! It's better than our equipment!" A grenadier had a grenade on his waist and looked at the team that was gathering.

A SdKfz251/1Ausf.C half-track armored vehicle engine roared past the "dead" grenadiers and parked next to a "destroyed" tank.

The battalion commander above glanced at his subordinate who was sitting on the tank, with a very unhappy expression on his face.

His armored battalion had made great achievements in the battles that swept Poland and blitzed France.

In brutal real combat, this unit is brave and tenacious, and rarely suffers in the course of engaging the enemy.

All along, these crew members are used to rampage under the cover of Stuka bombers, where have they suffered such a tragic failure?

"The battalion commander!" Seeing his leader come to him, the commander in charge of the battle reluctantly stood up and stood at attention.

"What a shame!" Standing on the armored vehicle, the battalion commander of the armored battalion frowned and looked at the Stalker tank destroyer in the distance, shook his head and gave up the question.

On the way here, the battalion commander also wanted to question the referee why he suddenly punished his vanguard with heavy losses.

However, when he saw the troop in front of him, the battalion commander knew that the army under his command was really likely to be "eaten" by such a troop in front of him!

"See it!" On a commanding height in the town, Guderian, who was wearing a general's uniform, pointed to a distant scene and asked.

"Yes! The improvement in combat effectiveness is very obvious! I suggest that this model can be popularized on a large scale in our troops." Another general nodded and agreed.

Both of them received invitations and deliberately came to participate in this military exercise~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, both of them are commanders of the armored forces "the head of state is optimistic about", so naturally they have some heartfelt sympathy.

The person who nodded was Manstein. He had seen the mechanized infantry division. Now that he saw the actual combat state, he liked this new infantry division developed by the Fuhrer even more.

If it wasn't for the mass production of a cheap anti-tank weapon such as the Stalker tank destroyer under the guidance of the head of state, how could such a tactical change appear in front of many generals?

On the other hand, if the Führer hadn't ordered the production of that ugly simplified version of the car, if it hadn't been for the Führer's allocation of a lot of oil reserves... How could the power of a mechanized infantry division be so dazzling?

You must know that in just one month, 4 ordinary infantry divisions have been transformed into elite mechanized infantry divisions, and this number will be increased to 8 or more next month.

Manstein even knew that if it weren't for the lack of German car production, it would definitely be possible to refit 10 divisions in one go.

"At least, if every army has such a unit, they don't have to rely on armored units to provide anti-tank support when they build a defense line." Looking at the officers and soldiers of the mechanized infantry division who had assembled in the distance and left singing, Guderian commented this.

"Don't say it so early! I heard that the Führer is still trying to strengthen the anti-tank firepower of the infantry." Manstein glanced at Guderian and said worriedly.

He paused for a while and continued to talk about the topic Guderian was interested in: "I heard that the new weapon is called 'Iron Fist' and has already served in the paratroopers."

But when it came to this, the conversation changed: "I'm afraid, we will strengthen the anti-tank capabilities of the infantry ourselves, and the enemy will do the same... At that time, the armored force you admire will fall into the quagmire of the enemy's infantry. "
