Bright Sword Military System

Then Wang Xuexin convened a meeting.

This meeting was a bit special. The participants included not only researchers from the research institute, but also Chen Songyong and Zhang Zongping. In addition, Wang Xuexin randomly selected a few platoon leaders with experience in infantry command and several soldiers from the guard company.

This is done to make the argument more scientific:

Although the researchers of the institute have knowledge and skills, they have no actual combat experience.

Staff officers and grassroots commanders and fighters have actual combat experience and command experience, but they lack scientific knowledge.

Wang Xuexin believes that the two should be better combined to avoid detours.

The content of the discussion was how to deal with the devil's poison gas defense tactics.

Chen Songyong first introduced the general situation. He said: "According to our army's reconnaissance, the devils will carry out accurate wind direction, time period and terrain measurement on the position and make a detailed wind direction map, and then deploy bombing fortifications in multiple places according to the wind direction map. Since the bombing equipment is a 94-type 90MM caliber mortar with a range of 3.8 kilometers, the layout of its artillery positions is very free. It has the characteristics of high concealment, strong anti-strike ability, and strong mobility. Destroy the gas bombs before they are fired!"

This is easy to understand.

Mortars are curved-firing guns. Put the guns away and put them in any trench...No one else will find them. When you want to fight, you can set up the guns and prepare for firing within a few minutes, and move them immediately after firing a few rounds. Even the artillery detection radar can't do anything about them.

Then Chen Songyong pointed to the map and added: "The devils also specially chose terrain defenses that are easy to release poisonous gas, such as curved canyons, forests full of trees on both sides, and depressions with no wind... Once poisonous gas bombs hit these places, the poisonous gas will stay in it for a long time and it is difficult to dissipate, which will bring great obstacles to our army's attack!"

Before the words fell, the researchers were already cursing:
"It's too hateful, the devil is simply insane!"

"Is there no one to deal with flagrant violations of the Geneva Conventions?"

"We should publicize this matter internationally, so that people all over the world know the devil's despicable deeds!"

……

Most of the researchers are intellectuals, and many of them have traveled abroad, so they still have illusions about the so-called "international influence".

In fact, it's not just them, the stubborn army once made all kinds of efforts and sacrifices in order to win international support.

But what they don't know is that international affairs only focus on interests. If their interests are not touched, the so-called other countries will not provide any substantive help.

In contrast, the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army seemed much calmer.

It's not that they don't know the "Geneva Convention", it's not that they don't want to scold devils, and it's not that they don't hate devils.

It's that they are more pragmatic. They know that it is useless to do these things, only the guns in their hands are useful!
Wang Xuexin stated his thoughts, and then concluded: "From the battle of the Hundred Battles Brigade, I think the best way to deal with gas bombs is to fight at night, and the first step in night fighting is to ensure air supremacy. Therefore, I think the first step is to develop night fighters. What do you guys think?"

Professor Su nodded, and continued: "It is not difficult to implement a night fighter. The radar equipment imported from Yingjiang, replaced with an integrated circuit to reduce weight, can be installed on the 'Wildcat' fighter immediately!"

Professor Su will know this because Wang Xuexin ordered the research institute to reduce the weight of Yingjiang's sea search radar.

Now the air-to-air night combat radar can also be operated in the same way.

The researchers all nodded in agreement, but several soldiers of the guards remained silent.

Wang Xuexin recognized one of the security platoon leaders surnamed Zhang. He was a company commander in the army, but was temporarily "delegated" to Wang Xuexin's guards to serve as platoon leader because of a leg injury... If a leg injury and no means of transportation, it will drag down the entire army.

"Platoon Leader Zhang!" Wang Xuexin called him up: "Let's talk about it!"

"Yes, Commander!" Platoon Leader Zhang stood up and saluted Wang Xuexin, then circled around before saying, "Commander, the development of night fighters is a good thing, but I think...it's powder on a white face, it's not necessary!"

Everyone "coaxed" and laughed.

Chen Songyong reprimanded in a low voice: "Zhang Zihui! How did you speak? Be polite!"

Platoon Leader Zhang replied aggrievedly: "Chen Staff Officer, I'm... used to speaking like this, let me put it another way, I can't say it!"

"It's okay!" Wang Xuexin encouraged: "You can say whatever you want, continue!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zihui stood up and said, "Regimental Commander, the last thing we worry about in a night battle is the plane in the sky, because at night it won't blow up accurately, let alone blow up, we can't see it when we walk below, so why bother? It doesn't matter if we let the devil's fighter jet fly at night, maybe this will make our army more secretive! The devil thought that no one would come if there was a night fighter reconnaissance, so let's give him a kick when we go up..."

This is a rough statement, and the Devil's night fighter has not played much role since it entered the war.

But of course, Wang Xuexin has also considered these issues.

"Comrade Zhang Zihui!" Wang Xuexin asked, "Are you a soldier of the main force regiment?"

"Report to the head of the regiment!" Zhang Zihui stood up and said, "The first battalion and the third company of the Long March regiment!"

Wang Xuexin nodded: "The Long March regiment is not equipped with half-track vehicles, nor is it equipped with tanks?"

"Yes!"

Then Zhang Zihui understood where the problem was.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army's night battles were all interspersed with pure infantry.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the devil's night fighter reconnaissance for interspersed like this. The infantry all drilled into the forest path, and lay down on the ground in time when they heard the sound, and the night fighter could not find it at all.

But if there are troops with tanks and half-track vehicles interspersed at night, and they are still on the road...the night fighters will have nowhere to hide when they fire flares.

"Captain, I understand!" Zhang Zihui looked ashamed: "I, I thought that the night battle you mentioned was still the same as before!"

The commanders and fighters also guessed the reason, and discussed in a hurry:
"Walking night battles are secret, but the speed is slow and time-consuming, and the distance is extremely limited!"

"The infantry can't carry much equipment and ammunition, and the combat effectiveness cannot be sustained!"

"The most important thing we have to deal with is the devil's gas bombs! It is difficult to quickly withdraw from the poison gas coverage in a night battle on foot!"

……

And if the night battle with tanks and half-track vehicles or even pure half-track vehicles must be as stealthy as possible, the first thing to solve is the issue of air supremacy!
