"Old Li, the Japs' tanks do move fast, but the armor is too thin. Once the Japs are prepared, they will probably have some anti-tank guns in the team."
"So as I said last time, we should try our best to make some modifications to the tanks and armored vehicles we captured. We can add the armor of some tank wreckage to the front of the tank. At least we must ensure that the front armor cannot be destroyed by one shot of the Japanese. It was shattered."
Kong Jie warned on the phone.
As for the tactics of coordinated infantry and tank operations, he believed that with the presence of the tank company commander He Dahai, it would not be a problem.
In this way, by taking the lead in cooperating with infantry to knock out the anti-tank artillery in the hands of the Japanese, and with the additional armor installed on the front of the tanks, the tanks and armored vehicles of the New Second Regiment's tank company will have a much higher survival rate on the battlefield.
"Haha, Lao Kong, don't worry, can Lao Li not know about this? I have already been preparing for this."
Li Yunlong smiled and agreed. He and He Dayong had discussed in detail the essence of the Bu-tan collaboration tactics.
This made Lao Li, who was accustomed to fighting with infantry, realize that tank combat is also very particular.
Even in battles dominated by tanks, coordinated infantry is extremely important.
Snapped--
After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to think about what kind of slogans he should write on tanks and armored vehicles that would be domineering enough to make the little devils hate him.
In addition, the communications troops directly called He Dahai, commander of the tank company, to the regiment headquarters.
"Captain, look for me!"
He Dahai, who came quickly, opened the curtain, entered the room, and saluted as a military salute.
Li Yunlong asked straight to the point: "He Dayong, how is the infant-tank collaborative tactical training of our tank company going?"
There are specialties in the art industry. When it comes to personal professional fields, He Dayong's face shows solid and absolute confidence stemming from technology.
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, I am not bragging. So far, our new tank company of the second regiment has begun to bear fruit in its infantry-tank coordination tactics."
"This can withstand the review of the group leader."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately became happy and said, "Good boy, let's take this opportunity and let me see how well your infantry-tank coordination tactics are being trained."
"Yes, Captain, please move to the training ground."
"Old Zhao, take a look!"
Li Yunlong said hello, and rushed to the tank company training ground together with the political commissar Zhao Gang, who was also looking forward to it.
Speaking of tanks and armor, they consume fuel very quickly.
If this were to happen before, even if tanks and armored vehicles were captured, and even if someone knew how to drive them, the Eighth Route Army might not be able to afford the fuel consumption.
But things are different now. There are oil fields in the direction of Yan'an on the Eighth Route. We can produce oil ourselves, but we can't digest it internally. We even sell it to the Kuomintang-controlled areas. After selling the money, we can exchange it for other military needs.
Just because there is only one buyer, and the oil is of little use in the Eighth Route Army troops, it can only be sold externally. The price has been kept very low, and there is almost no oil and water.
This is the disadvantage of bulls versus oligarchs.
Later, Kong Jie's independent regiment sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and rapidly developed and expanded, and opened up the oil transportation channel from Yan'an to the independent regiment's base area.
This can be regarded as a complete solution to the independent group's difficulty in using oil, and at the same time it helps Yan'an to raise oil prices.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army uses its own fuel internally, whether it is repair shops, arsenals, or various mechanical equipment, tanks, armored vehicles, tractors, etc., all of which consume fuel.
Basically, the internal market consumes these fuel resources, which are valuable for the military.
So now, with the background of the new second regiment, Li Yunlong, the regiment leader, comes to inspect the Bu-tan coordination tactics, and it doesn't matter if he consumes a little fuel.
The superior comes to review.
He Dahai did not hesitate at all. After quickly issuing the order, the soldiers of the tank company took action immediately.
With the roar of tank engines, the infantry-tank collaborative exercise officially kicked off.
He Dahai was beside Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang as an explanation.
Coming towards us was a tank and a squad of soldiers.
He Dahai introduced: "Regiment commanders and political commissars, the first thing to conduct exercises now is the coordinated operation of a single tank and an infantry squad."
Say it.
I saw a Japanese Type 94 ultra-light tank approaching on the training ground.
The modified tank was equipped with some machine guns and small-caliber artillery as tank guns. In addition, an additional gap was created in the front of the tank, and two pieces of tank armor were welded on.
To enhance the protection of the front armor.
After all, on the battlefield, the front armor is the most vulnerable to enemy attacks.
"Regiment commander, political commissar, we are currently facing the Japanese infantry's infantry-tank coordinated offensive tactics."
As soon as He Dahai finished speaking, he saw two scouts on the training ground, more than thirty meters ahead of the tank, pretending to be scouting into the distance.
"This is where our scouts take the lead in reconnaissance of the upcoming target and quickly determine whether there are anti-tank weapons in the enemy's ranks that threaten our tanks and armored vehicles."
Then, the two scouts quickly returned and, together with other coordinated infantry, relied on the tank as a bunker to quickly advance.
He Dahai introduced at the same time: "Regiment leader, political commissar, this is the offensive formation commonly used by Bu Tan collaboration."
"Since the Japanese army did not have anti-tank firepower, we used tanks as mobile barriers to cover the infantry's rapid leap forward, and took the lead in using tanks to open a gap in the enemy's defenses."
"The coordinated infantry followed closely, assisting the tanks in quickly capturing and widening the gap to expand the results of the battle."
On the training ground.
The tanks roared in and seemed to form a very close unit with the dozen or so coordinated infantrymen around them.
When the tank accelerates, decelerates, changes direction, or even turns, the coordinated infantry can follow in unison. Even if flesh and blood bodies stick to the side of the steel machine, there is no fear on the faces of the infantry soldiers.
"good!"
Naturally, Li Yunlong couldn't help but shout "Hello" after seeing this situation.
Zhao Gang also sighed with emotion: "I have only read about tanks and armored vehicles in some military books before. I only know that Japanese tanks and armored vehicles are extremely difficult to deal with. We lack anti-tank equipment, and more traditional anti-tank operations often cause heavy casualties. "
"Now we can see with our own eyes the tanks and infantry belonging to our Eighth Route Army troops, demonstrating perfect infantry-tank coordination tactics."
"This feeling really makes me feel proud."
Li Yunlong said with great interest: "He Dahai, what does one tank mean? Pull out all the tanks and armored vehicles of our tank company and let our political commissar take a look!"
"Eh!"
He Dahai responded with a grimace. His original plan was to drive out one vehicle first, and then three vehicles, forming a triangular infantry-tank coordination formation.
Finally, all tanks and armored vehicles in the tank company will be driven out.
The exercise was carried out with swarm operations coordinated by tanks, armored vehicles and infantry.
It's just that the leader is impatient, so just go to the finale.
I saw He Dahai quickly making a gesture.
On the training ground, several platoon commanders who were leading the team immediately issued orders, and soon, three tanks and four armored vehicles from the New Second Regiment Tank Company drove out in groups.
As a result, this originally spacious training ground suddenly seemed a little crowded.
The tanks and armored vehicles drove forward at a constant speed. The tank was protected in the middle. Two armored vehicles escorted the left and right, forming a triangular cluster formation with the three tanks advancing from the center and rear.
The coordinated infantry followed them, but they did not appear obtrusive. The soldiers were in step with the steel torrent, advancing and retreating together...
