Bright Sword Military System

On this day, Wang Xuexin was discussing the plan to attack Taiyuan with Chen Songyong in the headquarters. A staff officer came in and reported: "Regimental Commander, Yingjiang's M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns have arrived, a total of [-], and are waiting for orders in the border area!"

"Immediately send them to Ningbei Railway Station to be incorporated into the Third Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment!" Wang Xuexin ordered.

"Yes!"

The staff officer was about to turn around but was stopped by Wang Xuexin: "In addition, order the third anti-aircraft artillery regiment to add a machine gun to each self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery!"

"Yes!"

Chen Songyong felt strange when the staff officer went to convey the order.

"Regimental Commander!" Chen Songyong said: "The M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is used for air defense, right? Why add a machine gun to it?"

Wang Xuexin didn't answer and asked instead: "Do you think this self-propelled anti-aircraft gun can only hit missiles and planes?"

"Then...then what else can I fight?" Chen Songyong was surprised when he heard these words.

"It can't be flattened to hit people?" Wang Xuexin asked: "Think about it, double-barreled 37mm anti-aircraft guns plus a machine gun, and light tank armor... What will happen if it is used to fight devils?"

"Look!" Wu Zicang pointed to the sketch he drew and analyzed: "It stands to reason that our anti-aircraft artillery regiment is specially used for air defense, so it should be protected by infantry anyway!"

Walked back and forth in the office for more than ten times, and simulated dozens of times with the chalk tip of the left hand and the right hand. After several hours of analysis, Wu Zicang finally understood.

Wang Xuexin did not elaborate on the training. This actually meant to examine whether the command team of the Third Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment was qualified.

At this time, the quality of commanders of the Eighth Route Army was generally not high.

"Political commissar!" Wu Zicang exclaimed, "I almost went the wrong way!"

Early the next morning, Wang Xuexin received the training plan from Wu Zicang. Wang Xuexin was very happy to see that Wu Zicang listed the ground attack of the M19 as the training focus.

When Wu Zicang received the order, he felt strange: "Why does Commander Wang place special emphasis on carrying out targeted training based on the characteristics of M19 and devils?"

This has a lot to do with the poor equipment of the Eighth Route Army before... The most common situation in the Eighth Route Army before was that they didn't even have rifles. Of course, they couldn't engage in infantry tanks, rifles, or even open-ground coordination!
If the troops haven't done these coordination, how can the commander know how to command and how can he train?
For example, the third anti-aircraft artillery regiment, its predecessor was actually an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and its entire battalion was only equipped with two anti-aircraft guns seized from the devils with eleven rounds.

Therefore, the most common thing they did before was early warning and security, that is, stationed on the high ground around the headquarters to observe whether there are any enemy planes. During the war, he was responsible for catching spies to prevent the enemy from infiltrating.

"Yes!" Chen Songyong responded and conveyed the order.

But what Wang Xuexin was thinking about was another scene...Yingjiang used the M19 anti-aircraft gun to fight infantry in the history of history, but the opponent was none other than the Huaxia Volunteer Army.

What has changed is that a few anti-aircraft guns were imported from Yingjiang and Maoxiong not long ago, and a dozen more were seized from the devils.

Wu Zicang did this because he understood Wang Xuexin's prompt, otherwise he would have taken it for granted to focus on air defense.

Chen Songyong was instantly shocked by Wang Xuexin's statement.

"How to say?" Political commissar Liang Lianbing asked curiously.

But to Wang Xuexin's relief, Wu Zicang's ability is much stronger than Wang Xuexin imagined.

Wang Xuexin also thought of this scene.

Of course, at this time, Wang Xuexin doesn't need to think about how to destroy the M19, this matter will give the devil a headache!

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xuexin decided to vigorously develop air defense missiles.

On the battlefield of the Volunteer Army, our army surrounded the Yingjiang army in the encirclement circle time and time again, but was rushed out again and again by Yingjiang.

"Order the third anti-aircraft artillery regiment!" Wang Xuexin then ordered to Chen Songyong: "After receiving the M19, immediately organize personnel training. It is required not only to master the skills of using the M19 to hit air targets, but also to train the tactics of coordinating with the infantry to deal with the devil infantry. The training must be It should be carried out in a targeted manner according to the equipment characteristics of M19 and devils!"

One of the most lethal weapons is the M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun... The frontal defense of this thing is no worse than that of a tank, and because it is a semi-open turret with strong external perception, coupled with its almost abnormal firepower, it is almost impossible for the volunteers to against it.

After Wang Xuexin learned about this, he couldn't help wondering: Now that the third anti-aircraft artillery regiment is competent for the actual tasks of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, can it use the M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery?
Wang Xuexin is even thinking about what to do if the command team of the Third Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment is not competent!
After much deliberation, Wang Xuexin thought that even if he knew that they were not competent, there was nothing he could do, because there was no better candidate in the Eighth Route Army... In terms of the air defense force, the Eighth Route Army was almost blank. dugout.

Hit people with flat-fired anti-aircraft guns?Plus a machine gun?If this hits, I'm afraid it will interrupt people in the middle!At that time, the stumped limbs and corpses will fly everywhere, and the human body will be torn apart like rags where the shells pass. The overlapping enemies will be glued together... Chen Songyong shudders when he thinks of the scene, but If the opponent is a devil, then it should be fun!

However, according to the current speed of the Eighth Route Army's development, it will be a matter of anti-tank missiles to deal with this kind of thing modified from a light tank chassis.

Although the political commissar is a political cadre, the political cadres in this era are all veterans of the Red Army who have fought for several years. He nodded after hearing what Wu Zicang said: "Of course, the advantage of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment lies in air defense. Vulnerable to enemy attacks!"

"That's the problem!" Wu Zicang continued: "Our regiment has more than a dozen vehicles for one air defense system, and one vehicle for every two anti-aircraft missiles, plus personnel, supplies, etc., and Twenty self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, this mighty one is a convoy!"

Speaking of this political commissar, he understood: "We are driving away in cars, and the infantry protecting us must also drive away! In this way...an air defense unit needs hundreds of cars!"

"That's right!" Wu Zicang said, "Let's not talk about whether we can make up so many cars. Even if we can, the convoy is too big and the target is too obvious. It is easy to be bombed and besieged by devils!"

The political commissar nodded in agreement. The troop establishment should be as streamlined as possible instead of bloated, otherwise you would be out of breath even moving around, let alone fighting!
Then Wu Zicang said with certainty: "I think there is only one solution, and that is to solve the problem of ground combat by ourselves! And the key is the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun called M19!"
