"Old Li, the Japs' tanks do move fast, but the armor is too thin. Once the Japs are prepared, there will probably be some anti-tank guns in the team."
"So as I said last time, we should try our best to make some modifications to the tanks and armored vehicles we captured. We can add some armor remnants of tanks to the front of the tank. At least we must ensure that the front armor cannot be destroyed by one shot of the Japanese.
It was blown to pieces."
Kong Jie warned on the phone.
As for the tactics of coordinated infantry and tank operations, he believed that with the presence of the tank company commander He Dahai, it would not be a problem.
In this way, by taking the lead in cooperating with the infantry to knock out the anti-tank artillery in the hands of the Japanese, and with the additional armor installed on the front of the tanks, the tanks and armored vehicles of the New Second Regiment's tank company will have a much higher survival rate on the battlefield.
"Haha, Lao Kong, don't worry, can Lao Li not know about this? I have already been preparing for this."
Li Yunlong smiled and agreed. He and He Dayong had discussed in detail the essence of tank-tank coordination tactics.
This made Lao Li, who was accustomed to fighting with infantry, realize that tank combat is also very particular.
Even in a battle dominated by tanks, coordinated infantry is extremely important.
Snap——
After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to think about what kind of slogans he should write on tanks and armored vehicles that would be domineering enough to make the little devils hate him.
In addition, he directly asked the communications troops to call the tank company commander He Dahai to the regiment headquarters.
"Captain, look for me!"
He Dahai, who came quickly, opened the curtain, entered the room, and saluted as a military salute.
Li Yunlong asked straight to the point: "He Dayong, how is the infant-tank collaborative tactical training of our tank company going?"
There are specialties in the art industry, and when it comes to personal professional fields, He Dayong's face shows solid and absolute confidence stemming from technology.
"Reporting to the regimental commander, I am not bragging. So far, the infantry-tank coordination tactics of our new second regiment tank company have begun to bear fruit."
"This can withstand the review of the group leader."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately became happy, "Good boy, let's take this opportunity and let me see how well your infantry-tank coordination tactics are being trained."
"Yes, leader, please move to the training ground."
"Old Zhao, take a look!"
Li Yunlong said hello, and rushed to the tank company training ground together with the political commissar Zhao Gang, who was also looking forward to it.
Speaking of tanks and armor, they consume fuel very quickly.
If this were to happen before, even if tanks and armored vehicles were captured, and even if someone knew how to drive them, the Eighth Route Army might not be able to afford the fuel consumption.
But things are different now. There are oil fields in the direction of Yan'an on the Eighth Road. We can produce oil ourselves, but we can't digest it all internally. We even sell it to the Kuomintang-controlled areas, and after selling the money, we can exchange it for other military needs.
Just because there is only one buyer, and the oil is not of much use in the Eighth Route Army troops, it can only be sold externally. The price has been kept very low, and there is almost no oil and water.
This is the disadvantage of bulls versus oligarchs.
Later, Kong Jie's independent regiment sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and rapidly grew and expanded, opening up the oil transportation channel from Yan'an to the independent regiment's base area.
This can be regarded as a complete solution to the problem of oil consumption for independent groups, and at the same time it helps the Yan'an direction to raise the price of oil.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army uses its own fuel internally, whether it is a repair shop, arsenal, or various mechanical equipment, tanks, armored vehicles, tractors, etc., all of which consume fuel.
Basically, the internal market consumes these valuable fuel resources for the military.
Therefore, with the background of the New Second Regiment, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment, is here to inspect the collaborative tactics of infantry and tanks. It does not matter if he consumes a little fuel.
Superiors come to review.
He Dahai did not delay at all. After quickly issuing the order, the soldiers of the tank company immediately took action.
With the roar of tank engines, the infantry-tank collaborative exercise officially kicked off.
He Dahai serves as an explanation beside Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
Coming towards us was a tank and a squad of soldiers.
He Dahai introduced: "Regiment commander, political commissar, the first thing to conduct the exercise now is the cooperative combat situation of a single tank and an infantry squad."
Say it.
I saw a Japanese Type 94 ultra-light tank approaching on the training ground.
The modified tank was equipped with some machine guns and small-caliber artillery as tank guns. In addition, an additional gap was created in the front of the tank, and two pieces of tank armor were welded on.
To enhance the protective power of the front armor.
After all, on the battlefield, the front armor is the most vulnerable to enemy attacks.
"The regiment commander and political commissar are currently facing the Japanese infantry's infantry-tank coordinated offensive tactics."
As soon as He Dahai finished speaking, he saw two scouts on the training ground, more than thirty meters ahead of the tank, pretending to be scouting into the distance.
"This is when our scouts take the lead in reconnaissance of the upcoming target and quickly determine whether there are anti-tank weapons in the enemy's ranks that threaten our tanks and armored vehicles."
Then, the two scouts quickly returned and, together with other coordinated infantry, relied on the tank as a bunker to quickly advance.
He Dahai introduced at the same time: "Regiment leader, political commissar, this is the offensive formation commonly used by Butan collaboration."
"Since the Japanese army did not have anti-tank firepower, we used tanks as mobile barriers to cover the infantry's rapid leap forward, and took the lead in using tanks to open a gap in the enemy's defenses."
"The coordinated infantry followed closely to assist the tanks in quickly capturing the enemy, widening the gap and expanding the results."
On the training ground.
The tanks roared in and seemed to form a very close unit with the dozen or so coordinated infantrymen around them.
When the tank accelerates, decelerates, changes direction, or even turns, the coordinated infantry can follow in unison. Even if their flesh and blood bodies stick to the side of this steel machine, there is no fear on the faces of the infantry soldiers.<
/p>
"Okay!"
Naturally, Li Yunlong couldn't help but shout "Hello" after seeing this situation.
Zhao Gang also sighed with emotion: "I have only read about tanks and armored vehicles in some military books before. I only know that Japanese tanks and armored vehicles are extremely difficult to deal with. We lack anti-tank equipment, and more traditional anti-tank operations often cause heavy casualties."
”
"Now we can see with our own eyes the tanks and infantry belonging to our Eighth Route Army troops, demonstrating perfect infantry-tank coordination tactics."
"This feeling really gives me a sense of pride."
Li Yunlong said enthusiastically: "I said He Dahai, what does one tank mean? Pull out all the tanks and armored vehicles of our tank company and let our political commissar take a look!"
"Hey!"
He Dahai responded with a grimace. His original plan was to drive out one vehicle first, and then three vehicles, forming a triangular infantry-tank coordination formation.
Finally, all tanks and armored vehicles in the tank company will be driven out.
The exercise is carried out with swarm operations coordinated by tanks, armored vehicles and infantry.
It’s just that the leader is impatient, so just go to the finale.
I saw He Dahai quickly making a gesture.
On the training ground, several platoon leaders who were leading the team immediately issued instructions, and soon, the new second regiment tank company drove out in groups of three tanks and four armored vehicles.
As a result, this originally spacious training ground suddenly seemed a little crowded.
The tanks and armored vehicles drove forward at a constant speed. The tank was protected in the middle. Two armored vehicles escorted the left and right, forming a triangular cluster formation with the three tanks advancing from the center and rear.
The coordinated infantry followed them, but they did not appear to be out of place. The soldiers kept pace with the steel torrent, advancing and retreating together...
