The training of t26 is in charge of Petroevsky... This is the characteristic of the name of the bear. It is either Vicky or Yev and then there is Sky. Wang Xuexin will accidentally confuse them.
Wang Xuexin simply simplified their names and called them: Peter, Andro, Lemon...
It's so convenient, so why bother?
Later, Wang Xuexin found out that if they were all called that, there would be two Peters and three Andros in Mao Xiong's advisory group of more than a dozen people.
But this matter should give Lao Fan a headache, as long as he knows who he is referring to.
Wang Xuexin gave the training plan for t26:
50 T26 vehicles were organized into five companies, three infantry companies, a reconnaissance company and an engineering company. Each company was assigned a tank company for training.
Among them, the Thirteenth Company and the Reconnaissance Company are special.
The 13th Company only participated in training and then passed on tactics to other units.
This is due to the need for synergy between Bu and Tan.
Wang Xuexin believes that the T26, a light tank with a top speed of only 30 kilometers per hour, should be used more to cover infantry sieges and plunder territory rather than to hunt enemy tanks.
For example, when T26 is against the Japs' Type 97... this will definitely suffer. People can penetrate T26 from 500 meters away, but T26 has to hit Type 97 from 300 meters away, especially the speed is slower than Type 97.
(Note: Type 97 has a speed of 38 kilometers per hour)
Let's say it's against the Japanese Type 95. It has enough armor and firepower, but the Type 95 has a speed of 48 kilometers per hour. As long as the Type 95 doesn't want to fight, the T26 won't be able to catch up no matter what.
Therefore, what the T26 can do is to cover the infantry attacking the Japanese defense lines, bunkers, gun towers, cities, etc., just like the so-called "infantry tanks" where the sun never sets.
This is also the reason why Wang Xuexin asked for a T34 when he first wanted a tank.
Without the T34, these 50 T26s might not be of much use.
Wang Xuexin trained the 13th Company as an ordinary infantryman.
This is because ordinary infantry also need to cooperate with infantry and tanks. They need to know what to do behind tanks... This role is different from that of following infantry.
The following infantry serves as the eyes and ears of the tank and complements the tank.
Ordinary infantry rely more on the cover of tanks to approach the enemy and then launch a charge.
Therefore, they should know some basic common sense, such as when to follow the tank, when to provide the necessary cover for the tank, when to charge over the tank, etc.
One thing that needs special attention is that they must observe the target of the tank, not charge randomly to block the firing angle of the tank's machine gun, and guide the target for the tank if necessary.
This is knowledge that the entire independent regiment must master, otherwise it will be difficult for the fifth battalion to cooperate with other troops.
Of course, the reconnaissance company must also learn infantry-tank coordination... They are special forces in the modern sense. If they don't know infantry-tank coordination, they can still be considered "special forces".
When necessary, they also play the role of reconnaissance for the main force.
Of course, the engineer company must also learn infantry-tank coordination.
Because sometimes they need to build bridges, build roads, or even clear mines and clear obstacles... Without the cover of tanks, this is basically like courting death.
Petroevsky looked at the training plan handed to him by Wang Xuexin and nodded in agreement.
Petroevsky was a veteran and he could see that this training was necessary.
In fact, this training is much more rigorous than that of Mao Xiong. At this time, the domestic tank troops almost only have one sentence: stop talking nonsense, drive up and fire at the enemy!
Therefore, Petroevsky was a little surprised when he looked at this plan. It was hard for him to imagine that in this far east, these Chinese people who had never used tanks would know this.
Androvich was not surprised by this, because as veterans, they had done it this way before, but they did not do it this way after the tactical reform after the war with the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes.
To be precise, it's not that we don't do it this way, but that reconnaissance, clearing obstacles, etc. are all left to the infantry, and the tank crew does not need to consider these.
Finally, Wang Xuexin equipped each tank company with a car troika, thus transforming it into a mechanized force.
However, the mechanized troops are somewhat unsatisfactory.
Because the most important characteristic of mechanized troops is their fast marching speed. The T26 has a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour, but it can only run to about 20 kilometers per hour... This speed is somewhat reluctant to be called mechanized.
This is also the reason why Wang Xuexin was given a carriage instead of a car.
There are still some cars handed over from the Japanese, and only 15 of them are needed for each tank with three in a row. It is still affordable to transfer them from other troops.
The problem is that it is limited by the speed of the T26, and secondly, the tank and car team is too long and worries about being bombed by the Japanese.
At this speed, it is almost enough for a carriage to be followed by infantry, and it is easier for the carriage to hide in places with poor road conditions.
Cars are used to transport troops and supplies back and forth without any delay.
Then there is the training plan for t34...
Wang Xuexin directly equipped each tank with three shoulder straps.
"Why the Urals?" Androvitch asked curiously.
The so-called "Ural" is Maozi's name for the shoulder bag... At this time, Maoxiong was a planned economy. This military side three-wheeler was all produced by the Ural Motorcycle Factory, plus the sound of the motorcycle's motor and the sound of "Ural"
The pronunciation is very similar, so Maozi gave this thing the nickname "Ural".
Of course the old translator knew what "Ural" meant, and when he translated it to Wang Xuexin, it was "恌子".
"Because we need speed, Comrade Captain!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Otherwise, what else do you think can keep up with the T34?"
"Can't cars do it?" Androvitch asked: "A car can carry a platoon, and a tank company only needs three cars. But with the Ural... you need at least thirty!"
Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "Because I need soldiers to fight guerrillas with T34. Do you think a car is suitable?"
Androvich was stunned. The car really didn't fit.
A car pulling a platoon means that it is slow to get on and off and the personnel are too concentrated. In addition, the car is tall and the target is obvious. The enemy only needs one artillery shell or a shuttle of bullets to cause heavy casualties to the infantry in the back cabin of the car.
.
On the contrary, the "Ural" has three people per vehicle, which not only disperses the personnel, but also can set up machine guns on the sidecars to provide fire support for the tanks while moving.
Wang Xuexin considered more than just this.
The t34 has super off-road capabilities, and the t34 can easily cross many uneven and even roadless places.
If it is equipped with a car... it means that there are many places where tanks can pass but cars cannot.
Should we abandon the cars and walk or let the tanks reroute?
Neither seems appropriate.
But the shoulder bag has strong off-road capabilities. Even if there is a pit, you only need to put a board on it to get over it. In addition, it has the advantages of speed and small body. It is not a big problem if it cannot go around a corner. It can still be done.
Keep up with the main force.
The problem is that thirty shoulder bags... to be precise, it should be fifty. It is not enough to pull over all the shoulder bags captured by the independent regiment! Chapter 55
