Wang Xuexin was a little surprised that Li Yunlong would say these words, and he felt like he was looking at him with admiration after three days apart.
But when Wang Xuexin thought about it, he felt that this was nothing. The battlefield was just like that. It was a very realistic place. If the commander did not make progress, he would soon be eliminated, and the elimination method was often at the expense of himself and his subordinates.
Life is the price.
Under such huge pressure to survive, most commanders are sufficiently sensitive to battlefields and new tactics, especially the Eighth Route Army... After every battle, the Eighth Route Army will organize a post-war summary meeting whenever possible to analyze where they fought.
Did you play well, did you play poorly, how can you improve next time, etc.
Moreover, this summary meeting is held in the division, then in the regiment, then in the battalion, in the company, and finally in the squad, so that every soldier will reflect on himself after the war.
This is one of the reasons why the Eighth Route Army has grown so fast and is so tenacious.
If we look at this situation, it is not surprising that Li Yunlong has now mastered the key points of the "blitzkrieg".
Li Yunlong nodded and replied: "If there are seven thousand troops and our army's radio stations are concentrated, the communication problem may be solved. But... what about the equipment problem?"
"What equipment problem?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"You..." Li Yunlong turned his head to the side. After a while, he turned back with a grin on his face and asked with wide eyes: "Are you really not understanding or are you just pretending to be stupid? How does Hans's 'Blitzkrieg' work?
You don’t know? They use the mobility, defense and firepower of tanks to attack
To quickly break through the enemy's weakness, what do we have? Just a half-track car! But the Japanese have tanks, armored vehicles, and even armored trains. They use these things to block us. How do you break through quickly? If you can't break through quickly.
, how do you fight a 'blitz'?"
Wang Xuexin secretly thought when he heard this, it seems that Li Yunlong still hasn't fully understood the "blitzkrieg"!
But it's no wonder that Wang Xuexin is a modern man. Modernity is the conclusion drawn from the height of the end of the war and the thorough analysis of the situation by various military experts.
At this time, let alone Li Yunlong, I am afraid that even Hans himself has not fully understood it. They are also learning while fighting.
Wang Xuexin said: "Commander, you are right, equipment is very important, but have you noticed that when Hans is fighting a 'blitzkrieg', its ground equipment is not necessarily more advanced than the enemy. The key point is that the aviation force must gain air superiority."
!”
Li Yunlong looked at Wang Xuexin and was silent for a while. He seemed to be recalling the battle cases he had seen. Then he deduced it in his mind based on imagination. Then he nodded slowly and said: "That sounds like it. Air superiority is the key."
The most important thing is that with air supremacy, we can have more accurate intelligence, and with air supremacy, we can attack the enemy's armored forces and solid defense lines from the air."
But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong: "But, in the end, we still have to occupy it on the ground, and tanks are indispensable no matter what, right?"
In principle, Li Yunlong is right. Tanks are the king of land warfare. How can "blitzkrieg" be without them?
But Wang Xuexin has a different view.
Wang Xuexin asked: "Captain, there is a saying called adapting measures to local conditions, which means we must make plans based on the actual situation. Hans's opponent is Mao Xiong, and Mao Xiong has many advanced tanks, so Hans cannot do without tanks in his 'blitzkrieg'.
But we..."
Li Yunlong understood this. He slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! Most of the Japanese tanks have been brought to the front battlefield to fight against the stubborn troops. We don't have many tanks left here. What's more, the Japanese tanks
The tank has a thin skin but a big stuff, and our rocket launcher can fully cope with it!"
In fact, it's not just these reasons.
Wang Xuexin added: "Commander, if a Japanese tank runs into one of our half-tracks, who do you think will win?"
"It goes without saying!" Li Yunlong stared: "Our half-track car can't defeat the Japanese tanks, right?"
"That's not necessarily true!" Wang Xuexin smiled but said nothing.
Li Yunlong was not convinced at this point: "I say Xiaodongbei, don't just plow the fields with a whip and blow the cows hard just because you built this half-track car.
How thick is the steel plate? Compared with a Japanese tank!"
Wang Xuexin didn't take Li Yunlong's ridicule to heart. He knew that Li Yunlong had this kind of temper, and he would often tell the truth about things he was sure of.
"Commander!" Wang Xuexin said: "We are not using half-track cars and tanks to compete with each other to see who has thicker armor. This is not to see who is tougher, but to fight directly!"
"It's not as good as armor, and its firepower can't be compared, right?" Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows: "That little devil's tank also has cannons and machine guns! If we encounter this, they can beat us, but we can't.
Get it! How do you think we can fight this?"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Wang Xuexin picked up two bullets from the table and put them on the table, using one as a tank and the other as an armored vehicle, and said, "How about we come and play?"
"Come on!" Li Yunlong rolled up his sleeves: "I don't believe in this evil anymore!"
Wang Xuexin held the bullet and pushed it while saying: "Half-track cars are faster than tanks. We use this advantage to wander around the tanks. However, enemy tanks have no accuracy in shooting while moving. Therefore, if we want to shoot, we can only
parking!"
Li Yunlong was stunned, and he immediately realized that Wang Xuexin's simple words basically disabled the tank's artillery.
Because when the distance is close enough, the maneuvering speed of the half-track vehicle is enough for the Japanese tank to rotate the turret at a speed that cannot keep up with the turning speed of the half-track vehicle.
If the distance is long...the half-track car can easily escape the range of the tank by relying on its speed.
You must know that it is not easy for the tank to shoot at this time. The gunner has to visually measure the distance of the target.
This distance usually requires the model and size of the target to be known for reference calculation in order to estimate it more accurately. Otherwise, most of the time, you have to fire several shots to adjust the ballistics to achieve an accurate shot... There are laser rangefinders in modern times, but there were none during World War II.
So easy.
Then Wang Xuexin said: "If our half-track armored vehicle is close enough to the enemy tank, it can completely ignore the enemy tank while wandering and focus on killing the infantry around the enemy tank!"
Li Yunlong was silent.
This is also easy to do.
Because the half-track car is a machine that kills infantry, the infantry are almost targets in front of it.
Finally, Wang Xuexin added: "In the meantime, my half-track car can put down several rocket launcher shooters. When the enemy tanks focus their attention on my half-track car, my rocket launcher shooter has already aimed at it..."
