Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 321 About the Appointment of Zhou Weiguo
After the observation group visited the camp of the recruits, they came to the camp of the chariot company.

The training subjects displayed by the tank company are mobile target shooting and infantry coordination of Type [-] tanks.

The step-tank collaboration is a good drill, but this is a drill without enemies, and it is unknown how the actual combat effect will be.

The actual shooting of the 37mm tank gun on the Type [-] tank was really horrible. Each tank fired five shells. Dong Jiang controlled the five-in-two and the other five-in-one.

Zhou Weihan's face was dark at the time, but this was also because the training time of the chariot company was too short, and he hadn't fired a few rounds of live ammunition back and forth.

"Okay, Zhou Weihan, who are you showing your sombre face to? If the comrades in the chariot company can fire five rounds of live ammunition every day, don't say much, you can see the effect in half a month!"

"Our Eighth Route Army lacks talents in related fields. You think tanks are so easy to use. If you set up a tank company, they can be used in actual combat in a short time. You are too impatient!" Deputy Chief of Staff For the first time, Zhou Weihan was criticized.

"Comrade Weiguo, you know what to do in this area, tell me!"

After hearing this, Zhou Weiguo stood up from the crowd, and said immediately: "I heard that the chariot company has just been established. To be honest, our Eighth Route Army was blank in terms of armored forces. We can fill the chariot company in a short time. Being able to drive the chariot normally, this progress is already amazing!"

"In today's world, tanks are the main armored weapon of this emerging arm. The rapid mobility of tanks and chariots endows it with powerful assault capabilities, coupled with the protection of armor and the firepower of tank guns. This is a kind of collective The advantage of assault force, firepower, and defensive force has directly broken through the old trench warfare. Since the birth of World War I, armored forces have gradually appeared in people's sight, and quickly made countries around the world realize that armored forces are important in the military field. great potential and future.”

"Today, after more than [-] years of development, the military field of armored forces has achieved a qualitative leap and improvement, especially under the development of the military power Germany, an armored division with independent combat capabilities has been formed , which means that the armored force has officially broken away from its subordinate status and has become an independent new branch full of vigor and possibility."

"Blitz Poland is the best proof!"

Zhou Weiguo paused after finishing speaking, and continued: "However, one country has one national situation. It is impossible to have a large-scale armored group in China. Even the Japanese army's tank groups are mainly concentrated outside the customs and in Inner Mongolia. The future enemy of the company is the infantry of the Japanese army, and the armored force mainly relies on the armor to defend against the infantry, and the machine guns fire in a large area, but the tank guns play little role!"

"After all, after the Japanese army knew that we had armored forces, they didn't need to mobilize corresponding armored forces. Their standing anti-tank guns alone were enough to pose a threat to tank companies. In my opinion, tank companies should not confront the battlefield head-on, but instead It should be used as a partial division, and when the main forces of both sides are in a stalemate, they should launch an attack unexpectedly, this way it can cause great damage, and secondly, it can save the chariot company!"

After hearing what Zhou Weiguo said, Zhou Weihan nodded. The battle of Zhanghe, the chariot company was able to play a decisive role, mainly because the Japanese reinforcements were unprepared.

There will be no such good things in the future, as long as the Japanese army has a few rapid-fire guns, with the level of Japanese artillery, if they really target the tank company on the battlefield, the tank company will never be spared.

"Also, is it the comrades of the commando who received the award just now, who are fighting with the tank company?" Zhou Weiguo asked.

Seeing Zhou Weihan nodding his head, Zhou Weiguo continued: "The comrades in the commando team have advanced weapons and equipment, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong, but the chariot company rarely goes to the battlefield. It would be overkill to limit the commando team to the chariot company. Since there is plenty of time It is not necessary to train a group of fighters who cooperate with the chariot company alone, the number does not need to be too many, an infantry company is enough."

"Then how should the soldiers train?" asked the deputy chief of staff.

"Butan and Tan cooperate to fight, it is difficult and difficult to say, and it is simple and simple!"

"First, soldiers must be familiar with the tanks they are cooperating with. Even if they can't drive well, they must at least be familiar with the maneuverability of the tanks, such as the speed per hour, the speed per hour when attacking at full speed, or the speed per hour when retreating, or even the speed of the tank. The rotation radius of the main body, etc. Otherwise, in the process of coordinated combat, if you hurt your own people, it will be a lot of fun.”

"Second, in different terrains, enemy situations, and various changing situations, tank operations will adopt different tactics, and each of these tactics requires infantry to be equipped with a corresponding coordinated approach, such as coordinated attacks in open areas How to do combat, and how to do defensive coordination when retreating."

"Third, the mobility of infantry in coordinated operations. One day, when a tank company needs to fight in depth, with the mobility of a tank company, the infantry will not be able to catch up with just two legs, that is to say , the mobility of coordinated infantry will not be inferior to that of tanks."

Zhou Weihan couldn't help feeling a little dizzy after hearing what Zhou Weiguo said, he really didn't think so much about the chariot company.

The deputy chief of staff nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Comrade Zhou Weiguo, it seems that I did the right thing in transferring you from the Jiaodong Military Region. Commander Xu was very unhappy at the time!"

"Boss, since the study tour is coming to an end, shall we hold a small meeting to discuss the issues involved?" the deputy chief of staff suggested.

On Mount Yama.

The comrades from the Taiyue Military Region and the Southern Hebei Military Region all returned to the base area, and the comrades from the observation group who came with the headquarters were also sent back to the headquarters by the boss, without lunch.

In the conference room, the heads of the headquarters and the division, plus Zhou Weihan.

"Zhou Weihan, you won't complain that I didn't keep Zhou Weiguo?" the deputy chief of staff said with a half-smile.

"Chief of Staff, how dare I!" Zhou Weihan said, licking his face.

"Boss, everyone has heard Zhou Weiguo's words. I think it is more appropriate for the Chariot Company to stay in the independent detachment. Tainan is the southeast gateway of the base area, and the situation is clearer than other base areas. The current situation in Tainan It can be seen that the independent detachment is unimpeded in Tainan, and the corresponding tank companies can better exert their mobility!" said the deputy chief of staff.

"Yes, this point should be considered. The situation around the headquarters is complex, and the Japanese army's strongholds are entrenched in it. If the tanks are dispatched in succession, they may not be able to hide their traces, but will be hindered!" Liu ** also suggested.

"Since everyone agrees on this point, let's make it so. What about Zhou Weiguo? How to arrange it properly?" the boss asked.

"Zhou Weiguo is the head of the regiment in Jiaodong. If you only let him be the commander of the chariot company, it would be a bit overkill. You should carefully consider his appointment!" The deputy chief of staff said and looked at Zhou Weihan: "Are you Commander, do you have any suggestions?"

"My independent detachment still lacks a director of the staff department. Zhou Weiguo graduated from a regular military academy. He is more than enough to be the director of the staff department!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Okay, but Zhou Weiguo has to go to the Anti-Japanese University to study for a while. After half a month, let him report!"
