"What?" Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't the right triangle very good? The leading soldiers are in front and the new soldiers are behind. When you rush towards the enemy, it's like a sharp knife..."
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Li Yunlong: "That's for a bolt-action rifle. If we use this kind of repeating rifle, we can't fight like this!"
Li Yunlong was still a little unconvinced: "Tell me, what can't be done? Wouldn't it be better to have more firepower? I don't believe that even with a good gun, it's not as good as before!"
Wang Xuexin replied: "If we use the 'equivalent triangle', it may not be as good as before."
With that said, Wang Xuexin took a few wine bowls on the table and set up a formation. As he was doing it, he said: "This is a right triangle. If a company sets up this formation, what will happen to the leading soldiers in the front and the soldiers in the last row?"
It has to be hundreds of meters away, right?"
Li Yunlong nodded.
The distance between the soldiers in the three-three system is not fixed. When it is expected that they will be bombarded by enemy artillery, the distance will be very wide.
It is normal for the rows to be more than 200 meters apart.
Wang Xuexin continued: "The range of a bolt-action rifle can be four to five hundred meters. If our army uses a bolt-action rifle, there will be no problem in attacking the enemy's position in a regular triangle formation, because the bolt-action rifle has a long range."
, the last row can also be useful during battle!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yunlong said "Oh" and continued: "The new gun has a short range, only more than three hundred meters. Although it fires continuously, if the right triangle is like this, the battle ahead has already begun.
But the rear area cannot function because of the range of the new gun?"
Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "Not only will it not work, but if the soldiers are anxious and shoot indiscriminately... you know, this is a repeating gun, and the recoil is much greater than that of a submachine gun. When the trigger is pulled, the recoil will
Under the influence of the bullet, the bullets will be fired randomly. Not only will they not be able to hit the enemy, they may also hit our own people who are rushing ahead!"
"In addition!" Wang Xuexin drew a line in the opposite direction of the enemy and said: "The enemy uses a bolt-action rifle with a long range. If we use a right triangle, the enemy's long-distance firepower on the defense line can be concentrated on our army.
The leading soldiers, so it became a situation of using more to fight against fewer, while our army's equilateral triangle formation turned into a fueling tactic, adding soldiers to the enemy's firepower bit by bit!"
Li Yunlong suddenly realized: "When you say so, you really can't use the right triangle!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin arranged the wine bowls into an inverted triangle again and said: "The inverted triangle is different. It can give full play to the firepower of our army's new equipment, because the front row is full of people, and the whole front is a front line.
Pushing it horizontally, there is no problem that firepower cannot be used due to distance problems. The rear row is a support unit. They temporarily do not output firepower during the battle to avoid accidentally injuring their own people. They only wait for their comrades in the front to be injured or killed, to reinforce or replace them.
!”
"It makes sense!" Li Yunlong nodded slightly: "I understand now. It seems that once this equipment is changed, what the hell... a single move can affect the whole body!"
Wang Xuexin felt a little surprised that Li Yunlong studied with Zhao Gang and now can speak a few idioms correctly.
Li Yunlong soon made a decision: "Change, must change! But it is not difficult to change, we also use inverted triangles occasionally!"
This is what Wang Xuexin considered. It is not difficult to train by making some changes on the basis of the original tactics. For example, this is just a matter of changing combat habits.
In fact, the inverted triangle formation is not much different from the modern alternating cover tactic.
Because the "three-three system" also includes main attack, cover, and support, sometimes these three will change their combat roles.
If there is any difference, it is that with the same troop strength, the attack surface of the "three-three system" is not as large as the alternating cover tactic, because only the first two units of the "three-three system" are effective at the same time, which is a waste of firepower.
.
However, no strategy in this world is perfect. It has advantages and disadvantages.
Wang Xuexin continued: "In addition, we need to keep the distance between the soldiers. The previous attack required a distance of one meter. After using the new rifle, the distance will be two meters, three meters or even more. The specific distance depends on the specific situation!"
"Why is this?" Li Yunlong asked doubtfully: "With such a long distance, can they break through the Japanese defense line?"
Wang Xuexin explained: "This is because our army's firepower has increased, and it has increased several times! Therefore, even if our army distances itself, the firepower per unit area is enough to break through the enemy's defense line. On the contrary, if our army's troops are too concentrated,
, although the firepower per unit area has increased, it is easily killed by enemy machine guns and artillery..."
"Wait a minute, what unit? What area?" Li Yunlong looked confused. He raised his head and asked, "What is this?"
"It's the fire suppression of the enemy by the bullets fired!"
"Doesn't that make it clear?" Li Yunlong said with a reproachful look on his face: "Don't go around with me, keep it simple!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded helplessly. This was actually a habit brought from modern times. He took it for granted that everyone could understand this word, but he made a mistake right away... This may be the so-called generation gap.
Li Yunlong put the wine bowls away from each other and said: "That's okay, you are right. You have a repeating rifle in your hand. One person can hold ten, so why do you still gather in a bunch? Keep the distance."
A little bit, not only can break through the enemy's defense line, but also reduce casualties, killing two birds with one stone!"
Wang Xuexin has to admire Li Yunlong on this point. Once this guy understands it, he can describe it in easy-to-understand terms.
From this point of view, Li Yunlong is more suitable for leading troops.
"In addition!" Wang Xuexin tapped his fingers on the wine bowl at the back and said, "Our entire army is not equipped with repeating rifles. There should also be some sharpshooters equipped with bolt-action rifles!"
Li Yunlong nodded in agreement without thinking: "Although most battles occur at a distance of more than three hundred meters, there will always be some special circumstances. If we encounter this situation and all our troops are equipped with repeating rifles and cannot reach far, then we can only
Stare your eyes open and let the Japanese beat you! But how much do you think you deserve it?"
Wang Xuexin replied: "Let's take the class as a unit, and each class will be assigned a sharpshooter! However, this will make the supply of bullets for each class more complicated!"
Li Yunlong shook his hand nonchalantly and said: "It doesn't matter, we are used to it, there are just two kinds of bullets! What's more, there is only one sharpshooter in each class... Let's organize these sharpshooters into a squad in company units, and fight
Wouldn’t it be enough to assign support to each class when the time comes?”
