After Zhou Wen said this, he erased airplanes and tanks on the blackboard, and wrote the words machine gun and engineer in the blank space. He patted the chalk dust on his hands, took a sip of water from the water glass on the table, and observed the movement in the audience for a while.
Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua were seen staring at the blackboard thoughtfully, and the other team members also began to discuss quietly. Zhou Wen wanted them to open their minds and conceive their own synthetic combat model according to the previous lectures, and then combined with the following explanations, he could maximize the effect of the lectures and leave it deeply engraved in their hearts.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Wen continued: "Our army is not large in scale, and it is impossible to expand it in the future. The scale of the battlefield is also limited. It can only be a small-scale, localized battle. We will adapt to local conditions. We build our small-scale synthesis model of various arms based on the existing equipment and scale. This model has the following characteristics:
First, it is flexible and maneuverable. Because of its small size, it can deploy troops at any time according to the battlefield situation. If it were a battle on the scale of a group army between the Soviet Union and Germany, all the troops would have been deployed as planned. Once it was discovered that the battlefield situation needed to be adjusted, it would be very difficult to adjust with so many troops, tanks and artillery.
Second, the firepower is fierce, the attack range is concentrated, and the attack distance is long. It can cause a lot of damage to the enemy in a short period of time. Think about it, brothers, the troops we are about to reorganize, including the mercenary group, are only over a thousand people, which is equivalent to the strength of a Japanese brigade. A Japanese brigade only has two 70mm guns with a normal range of less than 1 kilometer. Infantry artillery, even if equipped with projectile charges, has a range of no more than 3 kilometers. There are also dozens of grenade launchers with a range of less than 300 meters and 12 heavy machine guns. But we will deploy six 75mm mountain guns with a range of 6 kilometers, 18 81mm mortars, and 36 heavy machine guns. Such firepower would be a devastating blow to a Japanese brigade.
Third, the configuration of arms is reasonable and complete. Although we only have more than 1,000 troops, they include mountain artillery, mortar troops, machine gunners, assault troops, snipers, precision shooters, anti-tank troops, infantry, engineers, and communications troops. and logistics troops. If these arms can be trained to work together like an arm and a finger, our combined arms combat model will basically take shape. "
Zhou Wen then explained in detail the responsibilities and functions of each military unit with pictures and texts. How to configure when attacking, how to fight, and how to respond when defending. How to use machine guns for air defense, the use of mountain guns and mortars, etc.
In the end, Zhou Wen talked until his throat started to smoke, and then he drank some water to put out the fire. He concluded: "Brothers, today I just told you the concept of combining various arms to let you know the purpose and significance of the next step of training. However, what I need to emphasize is the same sentence. War is never based on which side's equipment advantage. It is people who determine victory or defeat. Without a strong will, an unafraid spirit, superb military skills and a flexible tactical mind, no matter how good the equipment is, it is useless.
Our next step of training is divided into two stages, three months of military technical training and three months of combined coordination training. I hope that brothers, especially recruits, will develop the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and not being afraid of death. Use your brain more and be proactive in training. We have to conduct an assessment every week. Officers at all levels should take the lead, and those who have good training results should take the initiative to help those who are temporarily lagging behind. After entering this military camp, we are all brothers, comrades in life and death who have given their backs to each other. We are both prosperous and devastated. I hope you will keep this in mind. Today's lecture is over. In the future, I will continue to explain and organize discussions for each branch of the military. get out of class is over now. "
Just after Zhou Wengang finished speaking, Gao Xiaoshan stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, stand up - salute!"
I saw more than a hundred people in the audience standing up and saluting Zhou Wen at attention...
In fact, Zhou Wen's previous plan was for the mercenary group to go to Shanghai to participate in the war next year. There was no such urgency in bringing the Guard and Security into the fight. However, considering that there are still nearly six years until the future war of resistance against Japan, if such a long time span is just training without participating in combat, without clear purpose and team cohesion, soldiers will be prone to psychological and mental problems.
In addition, Zhou Wen now has sufficient funds, and the advanced weapons that he originally considered purchasing and equipping later are no longer a problem. That's why he decided to lead all the new recruits to the battlefield. Only those who have personally experienced the bloodshed and sacrifice on the battlefield, experienced the cruelty and ferocity of the enemy, and the love of life and death between comrades in arms. Only by building confidence through continuous victories can this army gather a steely will and establish a unique iron-blooded military spirit and style. Such elite soldiers still have goals and a strong sense of honor even in peaceful times. It will become a steel team that cannot be disrupted or dismantled.
Moreover, Zhou Wen also had his own considerations, that is, this unit must operate as a complete independent unit as a prerequisite. Never engage in positional warfare that consumes each other's forces. You must know that the opponent is the truly strongest military in Asia in this era, and it has absolute air and sea supremacy on the battlefield. Aircraft bombing from the sky, overwhelming support from artillery and tanks on the ground, as well as large-caliber naval gun support from many warships on the Huangpu River. The caliber of the artillery on any cruiser is more than 200 mm. The intensive killing range of a 200 mm grenade is more than 50 meters, and the killing radius is more than 400 meters. No matter how high the martial arts and skills of the mercenary team members are, they are no different from ordinary people in front of these war machines.
It’s just that Zhou Wen knew that the commander-in-chief of the national army in the 128-8 Songhu Anti-Japanese War was Chief Zhang, and he and Zhou Wen had half a year of cooperation experience during the Central Plains War. He is well aware of the fighting methods and functions of the mercenary group, and will never use the mercenary group as an ordinary army. Otherwise, what obligations and abilities do guards and security teams like Zhou Wen, who cannot even be called local troops, have to go to the front line to participate in the battle?
And Zhou Wen is convinced that as long as he sends a telegram to Chief Zhang to invite the war, he will try his best to get the mercenary group to participate in the war no matter what. He was deeply shocked by the combat prowess, achievements and fighting methods displayed by the mercenary group during the Central Plains War. If this kind of power is used in the right place and at the right time, it can change the battlefield situation. Zhou Wen can't think of any reason why Chief Zhang would refuse to accept it. Not only would he not refuse, he would also give Zhou Wen a lot of freedom to play and choose. This is why Zhou Wen decided to lead the team to participate in the battle and was confident of leading most of the people back safely.
