In the meantime it is learned from
many sources that serious discomfi
ture has been caused to the Germans
whenever the Allies’ tanks have been
employed against them. Detailed in
structions have been issued to the
11oops as to the methods by which to
meet a tank attack. One of the most
recent orders was captured in the
course of an incursion by Allied troops
into the German lines. It reads in
substance as follows:
*Ti*enches of a minimum width of
from 13 to 12 feet and a depth of
ten feet, also thick mud, form very
serious obstacles to tanks, which how
ever, are easily capable of crossing
ploughed land or breaking through
barricades. It is not worth while to
construct obstacles. It is preferable
to attack the tanks.
“Tanks approaching the front
.should be attacked by the artillery be
fore they come into action, even when
there is small chance of hitting them.
The essential thing is to prevent the
infantry from following them and in
order to do this the enemy infantry
must be made to fear the zone in the
vicinity of the tanks.
“The only practical way of attack
ing the tanks themselves is to place
cannon about the advanced zone of the
battlefield and by direct fire put these
war machines out of action. Every
direct hit on a tank kills several of
its crew and often sets the tank it
self on fire. It must be pointed out
that sections of artillery held in re
sei-ve behind the front often are una
ware of whaf is proceeding and thus
arrive on the scene too late to meet i
the tanks. In principle, therefore, the I
cannon should be placed well forward,
so that the enemy may not surprise
us. The commander of the troops
holding the front should be respon
sible for selecting the position of the
anti-tank guns. Cannon mounted on
motorcars are very useful for this
work in districts where the roads are
good.
“As to the infantry, they should

make no breaches in the battle line
except to permit the undamaged tanks
to pass through. To do this the in
fantry should take shelter, but not re
treat, for the idea is to allow the ,
tanks to advance so that they may be j
put out of action behind our lines.
The principal task of the infantry is
to meet and repulse the enemy infan
try, but a number of detached posts
should be established behind the lines
for the purpose of serving as a de
fence against the tanks.
“The most eilicacious infantry mis
sile against a tank attack is the armor
piercing bullet whose etlects are great
ly feared by the tank crews, as these
bullets not only penetiate the armor
but afterward produce a fierce flame
I which frequently sets lire to the gaso
line reservoir.
“The best method of attacking a
! tank is from its rear, where the ar
| mor is lightest and where it is no*.
1 easy for the crew to lire on the at
f lackers. Should a fight against tank. ;
occur in the streets of a village the
infartry is in a favorable position to
attack, as the men can take shelter in
the ruined houses until the tanks haw
passed and then open lire at point
blank range with rifles and machine •
guns.
uand grenades are almost ineffec
tive ailist tanks, but small trench
monars when they fire at a low angle
sometimes obtain good results.
“Practical drill in anti-tank tactics
should be carried out and thus the
tanks will lose their terrors for our
troops.”
