Tanks (short story) by Murray Leinster
In Tanks, Murray Leinster applies his inventive and unorthodox mind to the future of warfare; written in the 1920's he observed the terrible new inventions used in World War I to kill people: namely armored tanks and poisoned gas and paints a picture of how war will be fought in the future. In Tanks the war will occur in 1932, the U.S. against the Yellow Army. Published in the first issue of Astounding Stories of Super Science, January 1930, Leinster guesses what the future will hold for man based on developing technology that was coming into being at the time, the 1920's. He leads off with a quote from a future historian "... The deciding battle of the War of 1932 was the first in which the use of infantry was practically discontinued ..." -History of the U.S., 1920-1945
