The mission of the Sharp Knife Regiment must be given to the Independent Regiment.
This is not because Wang Xuexin gave this position to the Independent Regiment because he was born in the Independent Regiment because he was born in the Independent Regiment, but because at this time, looking at the entire Eighth Route Army troops, he could not find anyone who was more suitable to serve as the Sharp Knife Regiment than the Independent Regiment.
.
There is no other reason, but the independent regiment has been learning various coordination tactics along the way, including expansion: when there are rocket launchers, it learns infantry-artillery coordination, when there are tanks, it learns infantry-tank coordination, and when there is an aviation team, it learns air-ground coordination.
…
In addition, if you add in various infantry tactics such as the "three-three system", rocket launchers, and directional mines, the independent regiment can be said to be one of the units that trains the most diligently, learns the most, and has the most solid basic skills.
This is also thanks to Li Yunlong's character of being greedy for equipment.
He trains so diligently just for one thing. No matter what equipment is given to the independent regiment in the future, he will be able to eat it.
Although the independent regiment had nothing left at this time... tanks, rocket launchers and other heavy equipment were all left in Yuncheng, but their ability to coordinate with various troops was still there.
As for the AK47 assault rifle, this thing emphasizes the coordination awareness of the troops... If there is no coordination, it is likely that after a burst of fierce firepower output, the soldiers will all change magazines and reload at the same time, or they will not be able to
Alternating cover will not provide mutual fire support, etc.
When necessary, the Sharp Knife Regiment will definitely need to coordinate with artillery, tanks or armored vehicles from other units, and even fighter jets flying in the air.
Can other troops do this?
After much deliberation, Wang Xuexin decided that only the independent group was suitable.
There is a saying that "Opportunities always come to those who are prepared." The Independent Group is the one who is prepared.
As soon as Li Yunlong heard that Wang Xuexin had handed over the Sharp Knife Regiment to the independent regiment, he was so happy that he couldn't help but slap Wang Xuexin wildly: "Let me just say, our army is the most promising in the Northeast, and the most important thing is that it has benefits and benefits.
I am thinking about our troops! They are indeed the soldiers I brought out!"
This made Wang Xuexin a little embarrassed. He was obviously allowed to join the independent group according to conditions, but when Li Yunlong said this, it became "pretending to serve the public for private gain."
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin explained: "What you said is wrong. I only gave it to the independent group because they are really good at it. If the independent group doesn't have this ability, I will..."
"It's necessary!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and continued with a look of approval: "Of course the independent group fought for it on its own, we don't rely on this relationship or that relationship!"
Although Li Yunlong said this, there was a hint of a profound smile on his lips, obviously he had misunderstood Wang Xuexin's meaning again.
Seeing that Wang Xuexin couldn't explain it, he didn't bother to talk nonsense. Li Yunlong could just think whatever he wanted. Anyway, it wouldn't do any harm to Wang Xuexin.
"I'm here this time..." Wang Xuexin changed his words to the main topic: "Aside from the sharp knife regiment, the other thing is tactical training!"
"What?" Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this: "You still need to train?"
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin said: "Isn't this a new gun? The tactics are different with the new gun!"
"What's the difference?" Li Yunlong asked doubtfully: "I think it's good to just follow our tactics. If this is a temporary change, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be used to it. What's more, our guns haven't arrived yet?
Isn’t it a little too early to train now?”
What Li Yunlong said is correct. The point is that the gun has not yet arrived, and the troops have no idea about its performance from top to bottom. When it comes to training, it is just a blind eye and it will only be practiced randomly, which may lead to bad things.
But Wang Xuexin didn’t think so.
He said: "Captain, although the gun has not arrived, we can analyze it according to this performance analysis. We can wait until the gun is in place before practicing. Isn't it too late?"
Wang Xuexin also wanted to wait, but the Japanese would probably launch an attack after the ice and snow melted. It was only one or two months from now, and the military situation would not wait for anyone.
Li Yunlong also knew this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, please analyze it and tell us how we should practice!"
Wang Xuexin thought about it and said, "I think we still have to use the 'three-three system'!"
This was something Wang Xuexin carefully considered.
In fact, it is not suitable to use the "three-three system" after using an assault rifle, because in the "three-three system" tactic, in actual combat, there are always people in front... For example, if a squad is arranged in a triangle, there will be one in front of a platoon.
If you are one of your own in the class, there will be one of your own in the platoon in front of you.
This is not a big problem for bolt-action rifles, because bolt-action rifles have weak firepower and are quite accurate. It is rare for them to accidentally injure someone in front of them during combat even if they have their own people in front of them.
But this is no longer the case when equipped with an assault rifle.
Assault rifles are characterized by high firepower and poor accuracy, especially since they can charge and shoot at the same time.
Therefore, a problem will inevitably arise, and it is easy to accidentally injure friendly forces in the front.
But Wang Xuexin finally chose the "three-three system". One of the reasons was that he had considerations like Li Yunlong's. In two months, not only the equipment but also the combat tactics were changed. Can the soldiers get used to it?
If you are not used to it and have not been tested in actual combat, and you suddenly use new tactics and new equipment on the battlefield, will it cause chaos?
Another more important consideration is that the characteristic of the "three-three system" is that veterans can lead new recruits to quickly grow up... The tactic of alternating cover requires that every soldier be adequately trained, otherwise it will harm friendly forces.
Therefore, the requirements for the quality of soldiers are very high, and it also requires a long training period.
The "three-three system" has a high fault tolerance rate. Even untrained recruits can play an role on the battlefield as long as they can shoot and know how to follow the veterans.
Although the Independent Regiment did not have such worries... At this time, most of the Independent Regiment had become veterans after fighting several battles in Yuncheng.
However, considering that the AK47 will be equipped with the entire army in the future, and the overall quality and cultural quality of the Eighth Route Army are not high, it is too reluctant to directly adopt new tactics.
So this is a matter of looking at the actual situation... All soldiers in the modern army are educated people with certain thinking and analytical abilities, and they also have time to train. Of course, it is no problem to use the alternating cover tactic.
But given the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, it is better to use the "three-three system".
In the long run, this will also make it easier for Eighth Route Army veterans to lead new recruits and improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
Li Yunlong applauded with both hands: "Let me just say, the 'three-three system' is very good. The soldiers are full of praise for this tactic!"
"But..." Wang Xuexin said: "We need to change the 'rectangular triangle' mode we used before and get used to using the 'inverted triangle' mode to attack!"
