Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1117 Preparation
Li Yunlong's statement is quite new.

If there is one sharpshooter in a squad, there are nine sharpshooters in a company.

Because these nine people are holding bolt-action rifles, the bullets are different from others. If they are mixed with others during the logistics supply, it will be complicated... When sending ammunition to a squad, there are two types of ammunition.

However, if these nine sharpshooters are organized into a squad with a company as a unit, when the logistics deliver ammunition, you only need to consider how much ammunition each company needs to distribute, and at the same time it will not affect the battle, especially during training. There are two training systems for each class.

Only in terms of coordination do you need to allocate for training.

In addition, Wang Xuexin also considered that modern combat units still have squad machine guns, that is, each squad has a light machine gun.

Originally, Wang Xuexin was still thinking about whether the independent regiment also organized a squad to use machine guns.

But when you think about it, if there is one machine gun per shift, a company will have nine machine guns, and a regiment will have hundreds of machine guns.

First of all, the Eighth Route Army didn’t have so many machine guns... To be precise, there were still some machine guns, and the whole army collected them and put all the machine guns of several regiments together for the independent regiment.

But Wang Xuexin considered that if the machine gun is really used, the bullet consumption will be much greater than that of the AK47, and then the problem will come. The ammunition consumption of the AK47 is already high, and the machine gun for work... the logistics supply can keep up. ?
Secondly, Wang Xuexin believes that such firepower is not necessary.

Squad machine guns are the modern firepower requirements... In the modern army, bolt-action rifles have been eliminated, and both the enemy and the enemy use assault rifles, so it is necessary to incorporate squad machine guns for firepower Can overwhelm the enemy.

This is a bit like the principle of "the height of the road is one foot and the height of the devil is ten feet high". Both the enemy and the enemy are constantly increasing their firepower. At the same time, in terms of logistics and supplies, because there is a modern transportation system to meet the needs, it is reasonable for the squad to use machine guns.

But now, the devil is still using a bolt-type rifle, and its machine gun is still a crooked machine gun... because the crooked machine gun uses a bucket to feed the ammunition, the theoretical rate of fire is only 500 rounds per minute, while the rate of fire of the AK47 Both reached 600 rounds per minute.

In terms of ammunition supply, a bucket holds 30 rounds of ammunition, and the AK47 is also 30 rounds.

In other words, within the range of the AK47, the devil's machine gun is not as good as the assault rifle in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. An AK47 is enough to suppress the firepower of a devil's machine gun...

In fact, if continuous fire is used, the range will be much longer than single burst fire.

Because a single shot hits a point, while a continuous shot hits a side, which is why the range of a machine gun is often higher than that of a rifle.

If you consider this factor and the speed of changing the magazine, two AK47 suppress the devils and a crooked sub-machine gun is not a little stressful.

Under such circumstances, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army's Sharp Knife Regiment has already crushed the devils, so do we still need to equip so many machine guns to form a firepower advantage over the devils?

The answer is obviously no.

So after careful consideration, Wang Xuexin believed that one light machine gun for each platoon would be enough.

In addition, in order to ensure the completion of the tough task, each platoon adds another firepower squad equipped with [-] small guns and rocket launchers.

Li Yunlong felt a little strange looking at this organization. He asked: "In the past, the firepower team was organized at the company level, that is, each company added a firepower platoon. Why is it now under the platoon?"

Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "In the past, the organization was under the company. That's because we used to use the company as a combat unit. Now that we have compiled a burst rifle, do we still use the company as a combat unit?"

Li Yunlong said "oh", then nodded his head in agreement with deep sympathy, secretly thinking that this little Northeast really has two hands.

In the past, due to insufficient firepower, everyone in the Eighth Route Army held bolt-action rifles, so they basically had to use companies as units when fighting... There is no way, there is no company with a hundred or so people , that bit of firepower is simply not enough to watch, and it is basically impossible to complete the assigned tasks.

But it's different now. The soldiers are holding bursting rifles, and the firepower of a platoon or even a squad is terrific, and they can completely complete a task alone.

For example, arrange a platoon to take down a certain high ground, or a squad to go reconnaissance... This was unimaginable before, because a squad of ten soldiers went to reconnaissance, and if they encountered two devils at random, they had no choice but to fight them go home.

With a bursting rifle, let alone two devils, even ten or twenty devils, I'm afraid it's not enough for the bursting rifle to "chug" for a while.

Therefore, the fire team must of course be organized at the platoon level instead of at the company level as before.

After the organization is finalized, the sharp knife group will probably take shape.

Then Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong briefly formulated the training subjects, such as squad platoon tactics and battalion tactics, and the general direction was determined in this way.

But these things are still easy to handle. After all, Wang Xuexin has the establishment of the modern army for reference, and then considers the actual situation at this time. There are no major problems in the establishment and training.

The most difficult part is the communication issue that Wang Xuexin hadn't considered before.

To be honest, Wang Xuexin completely missed this problem, because he took it for granted that how the Eighth Route Army communicated before and how it communicates now, if it could be solved before, it can be solved now.

But Li Yunlong saw the problem.

He said to Wang Xuexin: "Little Northeast, we used to fight in units of companies. Our order only needs to be assigned to companies, and the communication pressure will be much less. Now we fight in units of platoons or even squads. Can the command come over? I'm afraid that if the fight starts, it will be a mess!"

When Wang Xuexin heard it, he felt that it was true.

The Eighth Route Army is accustomed to using companies as combat units, and each company is equipped with a communication platoon. During wartime, telephone lines are connected or communication soldiers run back and forth to communicate. If conditions permit, flags can also be used for communication.

In this way, the command can be supported even without modern equipment.

But if AK47 is used, squads and platoons can be used as combat units... Is it necessary to assign communication soldiers to each platoon?A phone for each platoon in wartime?
After thinking for a while, Wang Xuexin said: "We can delegate the command authority to the company level, and add communication soldiers to each company so that they can better communicate with the squad and platoon, and assign tasks in wartime. The superior command organization is as usual, It's also a task for Lian!"

It's just that the tasks assigned are somewhat different. In the past, the tasks assigned to a company were relatively light, but now after being equipped with a repeating rifle, the tasks are relatively heavy.

Then how to solve it will be directed by the company commander.

Obviously, in such a battle, the difficulty of commanding the company commander has increased a lot.
