Chapter 1404 Antiaircraft Artillery Troops
"Training must be carried out in a targeted manner according to the equipment characteristics of M19 and devils."

This sentence usually sounds like a formula that can be used anywhere. Many people will pass it by after hearing it and don't take it to heart, but this sentence is deadly on the battlefield and military.

Wu Zicang listened to this sentence, and he fully considered the characteristics of the M19 and Devil's equipment when formulating the training plan.

For example, the M19 has strong penetration, so he thinks it is suitable for parallel fire rather than aimed fire.

The so-called parallel shooting means that the gun barrel should be kept parallel to the ground as much as possible instead of moving up and down to aim at a target with the front sight.

It is not difficult to imagine that when the enemy is charging the Eighth Route Army's defense line in groups, parallel shooting will string as many enemies as possible on the shells.

From this, we can draw a series of specific tactics for M19 in actual combat: M19 is more suitable for deployment on wide and flat terrain, and the gun body is suitable for low-level settings, preferably slightly lower than the height when infantry bends down and leaps forward. Enemy charging for suppression instead of point-to-point aiming...point-to-point aiming is a waste of shells, which could be handed over to machine guns or even rifles.

And because the armor of the M19 is semi-open, it can be judged that it is not afraid of the enemy's frontal fire but cannot stop the grenades fired by the devils.

Therefore, in actual combat, the infantry is required to cooperate to suppress the devil grenade.

Wu Zicang even made a request to Wang Xuexin: "I think our army should be equipped with more mortars or [-] small guns. Only this kind of curved gun can effectively suppress the enemy's grenades!"

Wang Xuexin did not object, because the facts are true... The advantage of the curved-fire gun is that it can hide in a bunker or in a crater and shoot outwards. Rifles, machine guns, and even direct-fired anti-aircraft guns are helpless to it. Zero cannon.

But Wang Xuexin thinks this is far from enough.

Wang Xuexin asked back: "What if the devils have infantry artillery or howitzers?"

Wu Zicang was stunned for an instant.

This is indeed a problem.

This is not to say that the Eighth Route Army does not have infantry artillery and howitzers to suppress the devils. At this time, the Eighth Route Army has imported the "old three guns" from Mao Xiong, which are enough to suppress most of the devils' artillery.

The problem is... If the anti-aircraft artillery regiment is also equipped with the "old three tubes", the problem that Wu Zicang worried about before will arise again: an anti-aircraft artillery regiment may have hundreds of vehicles, which will make the army too large.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zicang replied: "Commander, I think the problem of the enemy's artillery is best solved by aviation!"

"What if our air force is temporarily unable to provide support?" Wang Xuexin asked again: "Or does the enemy also have air force cover?"

There shouldn't be any shortcomings when a unit is pulled out to fight, otherwise it is easy to be used by the enemy to cause big problems.

Seeing that Wu Zicang hadn’t called back for a long time, Wang Xuexin replied: “There is another plan. We can reduce ten M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and replace them with a combination of gun detection radar and six M30 howitzers. Which one do you think is better? Choose yourself!"

Wu Zicang didn't want to give up M19, but after much deliberation, he felt that he had to give up.

Because if there is no artillery detection radar and M30 howitzer, once you encounter a devil with artillery, you will definitely die... The third artillery regiment is different from ordinary troops. Ordinary troops can disperse and even be flexible when they are bombed by the enemy The ones avoid the highway and retreat into the jungle.

But the Third Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment, they are equipped with radars, computers, and anti-aircraft missiles...all of them are vehicle-mounted, and they must maneuver on the road. There are only two endings for these expensive equipment: either they are blown up by the enemy or they face the danger of being captured by the enemy.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Zicang gritted his teeth and replied, "I want the M30 and the gun detection radar!"

Wang Xuexin looked at the telegram and nodded. This is obviously the right choice, because the firepower of 10 M19s is enough for the anti-aircraft artillery regiment. As long as there are enough shells, these 10 M19s can form a circle around the anti-aircraft artillery regiment to deal crazy damage to the devils. .

In this case, what is the point of having 10 more M19s?
But if the 10 extra M19s are replaced with howitzers and gun detection radars, the latter can perfectly suppress the artillery of the devils. Whether it is infantry guns or howitzers, it can also become a supplement to the M19's flat-fire firepower when necessary. , That is, the M19 flat fire suppresses the devil's charge, and the M30 curved fire bombs it... No one can rush through the two-dimensional firepower of the upper and lower layers.

After making the choice, Wu Zicang gradually understood the benefits of choosing the M30 with the gun detection radar. He couldn't help sighing: "Political Commissar, I almost made another mistake! If I choose the M19 greedily, it may cause serious problems on the battlefield. Already!"

The political commissar laughed loudly, and replied: "Old Wu, if you had chosen M19, there wouldn't be any major problems on the battlefield, but you, the regiment leader..."

He shook his head and said nothing.

Wu Zicang figured it out after careful thought... Wang Xuexin was there to check, of course he knew how to match the equipment of the [-]rd Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment.

So the political commissar was right, there would be no problems on the battlefield, and it would be him, the head of the regiment... By then, the head of the [-]rd Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment might be someone else.

In fact, this will not happen, because Wang Xuexin has no better candidate to replace Wu Zicang.

What's more, what Wu Zicang formed was only the first anti-aircraft artillery regiment, and the second and third will be formed in the future. At least six antiaircraft artillery regiments can solve the urgent needs of the Eighth Route Army... the six antiaircraft artillery regiments also Only to solve the urgent need, the actual ten anti-aircraft artillery regiments are barely enough.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army urgently needs capable anti-aircraft artillery commanders at this time, and Wu Zicang is one of them, and it should even be said to be a top commander.

Wu Zicang is different. He is the pioneer of anti-aircraft artillery tactics. All the tests have to start from scratch, while other anti-aircraft artillery units only need to use him as a template and the third anti-aircraft artillery regiment as a model regiment to copy.

For such a capable commander, Wang Xuexin certainly won't replace him, all he has to do is to give some advice at the right time to make Wu Zicang grow faster.

Therefore, the anti-aircraft artillery units in this era are actually not simple.

To be precise, anti-aircraft artillery units based on high technology are not simple... The anti-aircraft artillery units of other countries, including Yingjiang, simply deploy anti-aircraft artillery at positions that need air defense, and at most they send a team of infantry to assist Defend.

The missile and air defense units of the Eighth Route Army are different. They want to ensure the safety of the air defense system as much as possible, which will lead to many problems.

The result is that Wu Zicang is very busy: he has to learn not only the M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery, but also the infantry-tank coordination, infantry-artillery coordination, and even the air-ground coordination...
