The three-by-three system of tanks is the 3-row, 10-car system that our army has long used in modern times.
The so-called "3 rows of 10 tanks" means that a company has 3 platoons of 3 tanks in each row, plus 1 tank from the company headquarters, a total of 10 tanks.
The disadvantage of the 3 rows of 10 vehicles is that this formation is not as flexible as the 3 rows of 14 vehicles, because this formation cannot be dismantled, and at the same time the offensive power will be slightly weaker... One tank in front and two tanks in the back will always appear
The shooting angle of the tank and the problem of blocked sight.
Its advantage is that it can quickly form an army and quickly form combat effectiveness.
The reason is similar to the infantry's three-by-three system... The infantry's three-by-three system prevents recruits from wandering around when they go to the battlefield. It allows two recruits to follow one veteran, so they can fight effectively without experience.
It looks good and doesn't run around like a headless fly.
The same goes for the tank three-three system.
A platoon of three tanks is a group, which allows the better commander in training to serve as the platoon leader and then set a rigid rule: the leader is the main attack unit, followed by an auxiliary attack unit and a reserve unit.
This organization is clear at a glance. Everyone knows their position and what they want to do. Even if there is no radio and they cannot communicate with each other, they can achieve a certain degree of tacit understanding.
Wang Xuexin started from reality and believed that the Eighth Route Army's tank unit was starting from scratch at this time. Coupled with the poor communication equipment and perception capabilities of the Mao Xiong tank, it must choose this three-three system with preset movement positions and tasks.
According to this organization, Wang Xuexin organized T26 into five tank companies and T34 into one tank company. In addition, two Type 97s, a Type 95 and two armored vehicles captured from the Japanese were organized into the battalion headquarters.
However, what Wang Xuexin didn't expect was that everything he did was almost rejected...
On this day, Chen Fujun led his troops to three stores.
As soon as he saw Wang Xuexin, he excitedly ran forward, saluted with dignity, and called out: "Batalion Commander! The guard company Chen Fujun is here to report!"
Wang Xuexin returned the favor and said, "Old Chen, you've had a hard journey. You won't blame me for transferring you to the independent group, right?"
"In that case!" Chen Fujun replied cheerfully: "It's too late to be happy, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The guys under me were all screaming with joy, and they heard that they were going to the Independent Regiment and Xiaodongbei... one by one
I was so happy that I didn’t sleep all night, and I couldn’t wait to come here all night long!”
As he spoke, he turned around and shouted to his subordinates behind him: "Comrades, am I right?"
The soldier laughed coaxingly.
They are all guards at the headquarters. Wang Xuexin walks back and forth in the headquarters a lot. Everyone recognizes him. Many people even regard Wang Xuexin as their idol. They have long expected to fight with Wang Xuexin one day. Unexpectedly, he will actually do it.
Get what you want.
It is said that there was some trouble at the headquarters because of this matter.
Because other soldiers in the guard camp heard about this and became disobedient. One by one, they went to the commander to find an explanation:
"Chief, why can't we go up with the first company, but we can't do it with the second and third companies?"
"I don't accept it. No matter what, I have to send some people from each company to go up!"
"How about we have a big competition and whoever wins gets to go!"
…
The leader was so entangled by them that he had no choice but to put his face away and point his fingers in the air:
"What? You don't want to be a guard anymore?"
"If you don't want to do it, you all go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese!"
"If you all go up, who will protect the headquarters and who will protect Dahuai Village? What if the Japanese sneak attack again?"
"What kind of tricks are you doing? There is no organizational discipline at all!"
"Could it be that I, the leader, have treated you badly?"
After saying this, several company commanders and battalion commanders did not dare to speak.
Chen Fujun exchanged a few words with Wang Xuexin, then leaned closer and whispered: "Battalion Commander, I heard that our arsenal's rifle production line has been installed? Can the rifles that are produced be replaced by our company first?"
"What?" Wang Xuexin asked back: "You can't use the things in your hands?"
"Hey, Cheng Shou is Cheng Shou." Chen Fujun replied: "But it's not like you don't know that these 38-inch caps have been in our hands for many years. Either there is something wrong here, or the rifling is polished smoother than a whetstone, so it cannot be beaten.
That's right! If only I could get a new gun..."
Wang Xuexin felt that Chen Fujun didn't understand the situation, so he asked: "Old Chen, the leader didn't tell you what the mission was for this visit?"
"Why didn't you say anything?" Chen Fujun replied: "Isn't it just following your command to fight the Japanese?"
Then Wang Xuexin understood that the commander did not say anything about the tank battalion in order to keep it confidential.
"That's what happened!" Wang Xuexin said: "As for us... If we want to train with the tanks, we have to use the Japanese 38 guns. Other guns are not easy to use!"
Chen Fujun said "Oh" after hearing this: "So that's what happened, okay! Then it's 38 big cover! You mean...the tanks captured from the Japanese belong to our camp?"
Sun Fujun thought the tanks Wang Xuexin was talking about were Type 97 and Type 95 captured from the Japanese.
Wang Xuexin smiled and asked instead: "What kind of tank do you think we are using?"
Chen Fujun was stunned and said: "Isn't it a Japanese tank?"
Wang Xuexin shook his head: "Have you ever heard of t26?"
"How come you haven't heard of it!" Chen Fujun laughed: "Nine and a half tons of wool, I've seen it once!"
Nine and a half tons of raw material is the Chinese name for the T26. The reason is that the weight of the old T26 was 9.5 tons. Later, the T26 weighed 10.5 tons after the armor was strengthened. However, it is still called nine and a half tons as people are used to it.
Then Chen Fujun seemed to realize something, his expression changed, and he said: "Batalion Commander, what do you mean... we need to use wool to make nine and a half tons?"
Wang Xuexin smiled and nodded, and replied: "Otherwise, how could I not have enough soldiers? Is it necessary to bring in a company for a few Japanese tanks?"
"Given by Mao Xiong?"
Wang Xuexin nodded again.
Chen Fujun almost fainted from joy. He danced and danced for a long time. It took him a long time to calm down, and he quickly grinned and asked: "Batalion Commander, how many vehicles are there?"
Wang Xuexin stretched out his finger and made a sign of "six".
"What a guy!" Chen Fujun's eyes immediately lit up: "Six cars! Now you're making a lot of money!"
Wang Xuexin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he corrected him: "Six cars? It's sixty cars!"
"Six...sixty?" Chen Fujun stared at Wang Xuexin in disbelief with his eyes wide open: "Battalion...battalion commander, please don't kid me, are there really six...sixty vehicles?"
"No kidding!" Wang Xuexin said: "There are ten more advanced tanks among them, but the tanks haven't arrived yet. Let's practice first! The Wooly Bear Advisory Group is almost here!"
Chen Fujun immediately opened his mouth wide and did not close it for a long time.
Just as he was talking, he heard Li Yunlong running out of the regiment headquarters. When he saw Wang Xuexin, he waved his hands and called from afar: "Xiao Dongbei, the guest is here! Let's go to the entrance of the village to pick him up!"
Wang Xuexin immediately realized that Li Yunlong was talking about the Mao Xiong Advisory Group.
