Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 315 Infantry and Artillery Collaboration
There is no need for Wang Xuexin to worry about supplies.

After Zhao Gang’s report was typed, the headquarters also felt that it was unrealistic for the independent regiment to provide additional food for more than 1000 people, but it would not be right for each army to solve the food problem by itself.

The chief of staff discussed this matter with the chief: "Chief, some of our troops are far away from Zhaojiayu Mountain. If we let them solve the food problem by themselves...they have to go back and forth to deliver food every few days, will it affect the transport capacity? waste?"

"That's right!" The chief nodded, then waved his hand, and said, "Then...use the rations stored in the headquarters to distribute rations to these soldiers!"

Upon hearing the news, Li Yunlong became a little reluctant: "Damn it, other troops can send people here to eat for free, but our independent regiment is thankless, and it doesn't matter if we work hard to teach and we don't have food!"

Zhao Gang replied: "Old Li, why don't I make a report and ask the chief to withdraw this plan?"

"Don't...don't!" Li Yunlong hastily stopped him: "If we really withdraw, these 1000 people will eat us and use ours, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

Zhao Gang shook his head with a smile, this guy is always thinking of taking advantage, no matter whether it is for the enemy or his own people, he has such an ugly look.

What Wang Xuexin has to consider here is how to train.

The actual operation of the rocket launcher is relatively simple, so all the troops are required to send a few artillerymen to learn from Laojiu and his party.

The main difficulty is infantry coordination.

Originally, Wang Xuexin thought that this rifle coordination would not be difficult for a modern person like himself, but when he thought about it in detail...it was broken, he couldn't train the Eighth Route Army with the modern infantry coordination.

The reason is that the two situations are different.

Modern infantry coordination means that there are a large number of shells waiting behind. Anything that can be solved with shells should be solved with shells as much as possible. The infantry plays more of the role of "artillery observers": advance, guide artillery bombardment, and then move forward. Then guide the artillery bombardment.

For another example, a very important point of modern infantry coordination is artillery preparation and artillery extension.

Artillery preparation means that the infantry should knock down the enemy's fortifications and facilities as much as possible before the offensive battle begins, and at the same time, the engineers should move forward how many meters to clear obstacles and mines, etc., so as to achieve a better offensive effect.

The artillery fire extension means that the infantry follow the artillery fire and push forward. This is simple to say, but it is very difficult and dangerous in actual combat, because the infantry rushes slowly and the attack effect is not good, and it will cause accidental injury if the infantry rushes too fast.

but……

These infantry coordination basically has nothing to do with the current Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army did not have so many shells, and rocket launchers did not have the accuracy of artillery. It was difficult to blow up specific fortifications with a small number of shells, let alone extend deep into the enemy's defense line like artillery.

So, how should infantry coordination in this era be coordinated?

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin understood.

The infantry coordination of the Eighth Route Army should be the most basic, that is, each regiment, preferably each battalion should have several infantry who can guide the artillery to bomb the enemy, especially the commander.

Otherwise, when artillery assistance is urgently needed at a critical moment, it will be too late to contact artillery observers to rush to the destination.

Therefore, the infantry coordinated training is actually the same as the rocket launcher practice, which is to train a few more artillery observers.

These artillery observers in the infantry also have the advantage that they do not need a radio and can use the unit's telephone to communicate with the gunners.

Once the artillery observers have formed a large scale in the whole army, then the rocket launchers can "see six directions and listen to all directions", and they will be much more flexible in fighting. They will no longer rely on a few artillery observers who rush to and fro with their radios on their backs. .

For this aspect of learning, the enthusiasm of the various troops is nothing to say.

Because Wang Xuexin sent a telegram to the troops through the headquarters: "The rocket launcher has a range of six kilometers. It is usually located on the second line and cannot see the situation ahead. Therefore, artillery observers are required to indicate the direction for it in combat. If there is no artillery observer, the rocket launcher cannot serve the troops. Provide cover fire!"

As soon as the leaders heard it, they immediately understood:
"My God, does that mean rocket launchers are useless without artillery observers?"

"Yes, even if there is, it can only be a blind fight!"

"And whether the shots are accurate or not depends entirely on the artillery observers!"

……

Then what else to think about, send people to learn!
Don't say that you don't have to pay tuition fees for free, even if you tighten your belt and lose your fortune, you still have to learn!
Many group leaders were also worried that the students they sent would not be qualified and would not learn, so they sent a bunch of people over for Wang Xuexin to choose. As a result, the number of students was seriously overstaffed, but there were more than 1000 students who planned to send 700 people.

Li Yunlong was there cursing: "Fuck, I know that none of these guys are easy to serve, why don't they send the whole group to eat for a few days?"

Just when Li Yunlong was complaining about this matter, the monk came in and reported: "Regimental Commander, Adjutant Sun of the 358th Regiment is here!"

Li Yunlong was overjoyed, jumped up from the kang with a sound of "teng", raised his head while wearing his hat and said, "Quick, please!"

During the battle, Sun Ming launched a charge with Chu Yunfei... In fact, he didn't follow, but rushed forward with guards to protect Chu Yunfei.

During the battle, his forehead was scratched by fragments from a grenade explosion. At this time, his head was still covered with a bandage, so that the military cap could only be half worn, and the left forehead was still oozing with bright red blood.

But no one would laugh at Sun Ming's appearance at this time. All the way into Zhaojiayu, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army saluted him spontaneously, and looked at him a little differently from before.

Admiration, respect, and sympathy.

This made Sun Ming feel a little bit emotional. It is no wonder that the Eighth Route Army made the devils even more afraid. The Eighth Route Army recognizes heroes and values ​​heroes, while the Chongqing Front Army is fighting for power and intrigues. Many heroes often do not die on the battlefield, but fall on the ground. It is really sad and deplorable under the siege of power.

When Sun Ming stepped into the command post, Li Yunlong greeted him enthusiastically immediately, and said, "Adjutant Sun, congratulations, the 358 regiment wiped out the two brigades of devils in one fell swoop, the result is not small!"

Sun Ming returned his salute, and said with embarrassment: "Where, if it wasn't for the help of your army, the 358th regiment might have been wiped out by now."

As he spoke, he looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "To express my gratitude, the regiment ordered me to deliver a thousand tons of food to your army, and it will be delivered at midnight tonight. Please send someone to Longfengping to receive it!"

Li Yunlong immediately burst into laughter: "Oh, how embarrassing that is. What is the relationship between me and Brother Chu, shouldn't it be right to help? Brother Chu is very polite!"

Then he was worried that Sun Ming would take it back, so he immediately answered, "But since Brother Chu insists, it's not enough for me, Li Yunlong, to be polite. Thank you, Brother Chu!"
