Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 826 Communication
Wang Xuexin is not as "sharp-eyed" as Li Yunlong said, and he can easily get to the point in a few words.

But Wang Xuexin has some understanding of the military, and knows that the Chinese army in history still had such contradictions in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in the 80s:

On the one hand, because the army has long emphasized "not afraid of sacrifice or bloodshed", the commanders at the grassroots level have no sense of coordination when they encounter difficulties... They take it for granted that calling for artillery fire and calling for tanks when encountering difficulties is a sign of cowardice and fear of death. Problems that can be solved by firing cannonballs have to be piled up with human lives.

On the other hand, artillery and tank soldiers can only fight on their own because there is almost no need for coordination on the front line.

The result is that after each battle, the tanks and artillery did not fully play their role, but the casualties were very heavy.

This is a problem that the Chinese army will have for decades to come, and Wang Xuexin certainly knows it.

If we can change this concept at this time and start a good start, does that mean that the army's combat concept has changed in advance?

But this is also because the subject of the discussion is Li Yunlong.

Now if it was Zhao Gang, the political commissar, who came to discuss this issue, I'm afraid he would have to fight with Wang Xuexin in the face.

Li Yunlong is a realistic faction. He firmly believes that no matter what style of play, as long as he can win with the least cost, it is the best style of play. Therefore, he quickly understood, understood and agreed with Wang Xuexin's statement.

"That's reasonable!" Li Yunlong said: "We have artillery and tanks. Pulling the tank up and 'booming' can solve the problem. Why do you need the blasting team to kill you? No, I have to go to the comrades. Let's talk about..."

Talking about drinking, he didn't even bother to drink, and moved his legs and buttocks to get off the kang, but was stopped by Wang Xuexin.

"Head, don't worry!" Wang Xuexin said, "I haven't finished yet!"

Li Yunlong immediately retracted his legs again, and then "hehe" smiled and raised the wine bowl to touch Wang Xuexin: "Yes, yes, yes, go ahead, pour it all out in one go, let me study hard!"

Li Yunlong is like this, if there is something or a method that can make him win the battle, he will lose all face.

Wang Xuexin said: "After the ideological concept of the grass-roots commanders has changed, the next problem is communication. All coordination is actually based on communication. If there is no good communication... If there is a war and they cannot communicate with each other, then there will be no communication. There is no such thing as collaboration!"

Li Yunlong nodded sympathetically.

The fact is true, no matter which unit on the battlefield needs to call for tanks and artillery coordination, it needs to transmit the information and finally pass it to the tank soldiers and artillery accurately, otherwise everything will be empty.

The problem is that the Eighth Route Army is not that rich, and it is impossible for the radio to be assigned to the company level.

therefore……

Li Yunlong said without even thinking about it: "Telephones are assigned to the first level of the company, and the communication corps is strengthened to prepare more telephone lines, so that the telephone lines can be pulled wherever the battle is fought!"

Wang Xuexin gave a secret praise in his heart, Li Yunlong is Li Yunlong, and he immediately found a solution.

Although the independent regiment at this time was not rich, but because it was backed by the textile factory in Xiaobeiling and the seizure of Yuncheng before, it was not a big problem for the phone to be assigned to the company.

Wang Xuexin went on to say: "Finally, it is the issue of the infantry fighting with tanks and artillery. When the infantry will charge after the artillery knocks out the enemy's firepower, how the infantry will point the target for the tank, etc. This part of the independent regiment has been training. On the contrary, it is the easiest but also the hardest!"

Li Yunlong understood what Wang Xuexin meant.

It is the simplest, because it is a question of specific tactics, relying on usual training.

It is said to be the most difficult because it requires a tacit understanding between infantry, tank soldiers, and artillery to a certain extent rather than relying entirely on communication, and tacit understanding must be cultivated through long-term training and even in actual combat.

After Wang Xuexin's analysis, Li Yunlong felt confident, and hurriedly poured a bowl of wine into his belly before returning to the army for targeted training.

Although Li Yunlong's training time was short, it was quite effective.

This can be seen from the well-organized offensive rhythm of the independent regiment.

When the battle started, Wang Xuexin was standing in Dongcheng to watch the battle... Wang Xuexin's headquarters was not far from Dongcheng, only a hundred meters away, and he could reach the top of the city within a few minutes of walking.

The tanks dispatched were T26 and Type 97 and Type 95 captured from the Devils.

This approach is correct. T34’s motorcycle time is extremely valuable. It is used against enemy tanks. It is difficult to play a role in this night attack. In other words, its role is not much different from that of T26, and even some night combat performance is not as good. T26...For example, T26 has low noise and thin armor, and its external perception is better than T34.

When attacking, the tanks lined up to cover the infantry and advanced towards the enemy's position, but when they advanced to the devil's bunker and gun tower area, the tanks separated in twos and threes and slowly approached the bunker from different directions.

This may seem commonplace, but Wang Xuexin knows that it means effective coordination between infantry and tanks:

In the dark, it is impossible for tank soldiers to see or find bunkers. It must be the infantry who finds the target and then directs the tanks where to go.

Moreover, two tanks can be allocated here and three tanks can be allocated there... This shows that the command can be handled with ease, otherwise there will be uneven distribution and even some bunkers without tanks to deal with it.

What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that Li Yunlong played a trick in this respect.

This part is of course the credit of the cooperation between the grassroots commanders and the infantry, but more, it is actually Li Yunlong who scouted the positions of the bunkers and gun towers in advance, numbered them and pre-allocated them... that is, which tanks are in charge of which bunkers wait.

In this way, even if the infantry did not indicate the direction for the tank, the tank soldiers probably knew what to do and where to go.

Needless to say, the next situation is that tanks are the natural enemies of bunkers and gun towers. They are like toys in front of tanks, even in the dark night, especially the devils do not have anti-tank equipment such as rocket launchers...

If there is a rocket launcher, the defenders in the bunker may also fire rockets from the perforation to destroy the tank.

But the devils only have anti-tank grenades and the "Type Four Anti-Tank Mine", which is almost equivalent to suicide.

Therefore, the devil could only watch helplessly as the tank slowly approached the bunker in the dark, getting closer, getting closer...

The tank didn't stop until the distance was only 30 meters, and the gunner in the tank could see the perforation of the bunker, and then aimed the barrel at the perforation, and took the bunker away with a "boom".
