But of course the chief will not treat the new second group badly.
This is actually a kind of coordination in the army... Even the commander cannot arbitrarily transfer elite personnel from other troops to the needs of the army, unless it is a very urgent combat need.
Because doing so will greatly damage the morale of other troops, causing them to stagnate.
For example, with the leader's transfer this time, the Hundred Battle Regiment has gained the elites of the New Second Regiment and its strength has greatly increased. So, do we still need Kong Jie's New Second Regiment?
If not, then this establishment will simply be cancelled.
But Kong Jie made no mistakes and failed to win the battle. He even performed meritoriously on the battlefield. Why should he cancel it?
If you want.
This time the commander can evacuate the elite members of the New Second Regiment, but won’t he do it again next time?
If this continues, will this new second regiment become a recruit training regiment?
Kong Jie is still a shitty group leader, just change him to an instructor!
Even other troops will think: If the elite of the New Second Regiment will be redeployed at once, will their troops also be in the same situation?
Does that mean we need to cultivate fewer elites?
Therefore, considering the overall situation and the morale of the New Second Regiment, the leader must give the New Second Regiment some acceptable compensation.
The chief's compensation is also very reasonable: "Don't the New Second Regiment always have no tanks? Allocating ten tanks to them to form a tank company can fill this gap, right?"
Kong Jie was so happy that he smiled happily.
Elites can be cultivated, but tanks are hard to come by.
I always thought that the New Second Regiment was following the Independent Regiment in secretly learning tank tactics, just so that one day it would be their turn when tanks were available?
No, here comes the opportunity!
To replace or not to replace?
Of course I’ll change it!
In the past, these elites were trained without tanks. Now that there are tanks, will it be easier to train them in the future?
What's more... those are ten tanks. With these tanks, the strength of the new second regiment will soon exceed that of the main regiment, right?
You would be a fool not to change it!
Wang Xuexin does not need to worry about these things. What he has to consider is the training of mechanized troops.
Once you have a driver and a tank crew, the main thing you need to practice is infantry-tank coordination.
The infantry-tank coordination of mechanized units is somewhat different from the infantry-tank coordination of other units.
The infantry-tank coordination of ordinary troops is the coordinated operation of infantry and tanks. It talks about mutual cover between infantry and tanks and maximizing firepower output.
Mechanized troops, infantry and tank coordination plus armored vehicles...
For example, infantrymen can quickly dismount and deploy their troops when in danger.
In addition, how the armored vehicle as a combat unit should provide fire cover for infantry and tanks.
In this regard, Wang Xuexin and Li Changfu had another dispute.
Li Changfu is worthy of being the leader of the Hundred Battle Regiment who is good at fighting regular battles. He is really a little confused. When he came up and saw the half-track armored vehicle, he was so happy that he said: "My dear, 10mm steel plate, the Japanese can use all kinds of guns."
If it can’t be penetrated, isn’t it just a ready-made trench?”
Therefore, his idea was that once he got involved with the Japanese, he would use the half-tracks as trenches, and the troops would shoot at the enemy from behind the half-tracks and tanks...
When he saw Wang Xuexin's training methods, he stepped forward to stop Wang Xuexin and said: "Batalion Commander, how can this battle be fought like this? What a good shield. It is a line of defense wherever it is placed. Not only do you not use it, you also let it
Fighting the enemy while driving... Can we hit accurately while driving and swaying in the car? Can the infantry keep up? What about the infantry's cover?"
Wang Xuexin's use of half-track vehicles was very different from Li Changfu's.
It is impossible for Wang Xuexin to use a half-track car as a trench. If used like this... it may be the most expensive trench in the world.
Moreover, it is true that these "trenches" can block bullets, but do the devils only have bullets?
Where are the Japanese mortars?
Where are the Japanese tanks?
Even the enemy's grenade can blow it up...
Wang Xuexin’s use of half-track vehicles is a supplement to the tank’s firepower and field of vision:
The tank's field of view is narrow, and its firepower is mainly flat-firing tank guns. It cannot attack targets hiding behind obstacles, such as mortar positions behind hills.
The half-track car has a wide field of view and is closely connected with the infantry. It can even be used as an infantry unit in battle. Its firepower includes a machine gun with horizontal fire... which can provide cover for the tank to eliminate the enemy's demolition team. It also has mortars and deflection fire.
Mortars can hit blind spots that are out of reach of tank guns.
Therefore, the combination of the two is perfect.
Coupled with the coordination of infantry's light weapons and rocket launchers, you can form an iron triangle of tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry that can complement each other.
If on the plains, the half-track armored vehicle can even use its mobility to play even more amazing roles.
But Li Changfu didn't understand what Wang Xuexin said.
Wang Xuexin could understand Li Changfu, because the Eighth Route Army was in a defensive posture in most of the previous battles, including the current Yuncheng still fully defensive.
Li Changfu was used to defensive battles, and he could not help but think of the Japanese attacking the Eighth Route Army's defenses in his mind.
In addition, a considerable number of commanders of the Eighth Route Army still adhere to the backward tactical thinking of "defense is greater than offense".
They always think about defense, which is to first occupy a favorable geographical location and prepare. The enemy has not launched an attack with any fortifications, so of course they will suffer a loss.
Therefore, when the enemy can be destroyed, why attack at the expense of physical strength?
They don't understand that if the mechanized troops fight with the same tactical thinking as infantry, they will be bypassed by the enemy and left behind instead of fighting.
In the end, he was so pestered by Li Changfu that he had no choice but to do anything.
In fact, it was not that they were too much to deal with, but Wang Xuexin believed that if training was to be carried out, the regiment leader Li Changfu should be made aware of what kind of war he would face in the future and what tactics he would use.
Otherwise, even if the troops are well trained, he, the regiment commander, will not be able to correctly command the troops to fight and win.
But Li Changfu is stubborn enough.
What he meant was that it was okay to train according to Wang Xuexin's method, because it was the commander's order and he would obey it unconditionally, but he just didn't think Wang Xuexin's method of fighting was right.
Wang Xuexin could only kick the ball to the headquarters.
This also proves that Wang Xuexin's previous worries were justified...Li Changfu, a regiment leader who is suitable for hard battles, does not seem to be suitable for commanding mechanized troops.
The chief was furious and severely criticized Li Changfu:
"I say you, Li Changfu, think that the longer you get older and the more battles you fight, your tail will be raised to the sky!"
"Do you think you can beat Xiao Dongbei? Can you fight better than him? You even competed with him!"
"I'm telling you, if you don't understand this tactic, don't be the leader of the regiment. I'll replace you immediately! There are many people who want to be the leader of this mechanized unit!"
