Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 617 Flares

The military situation is urgent, and the time left for the soldiers is only three days. The soldiers started intense night training that night.

As a result, there was a problem at the beginning of the training: there was not enough flares, Li Yunlong called everywhere, every regiment and even the headquarters asked for them, but the entire army could only find more than [-] flares.

Headquarters can't actually say "request", because the chief is also having a headache because of the fall of Yuncheng. Now when he heard that Xiaodongbei has a battle plan to attack Yuncheng, he immediately became interested.

After Li Yunlong reported the whole plan to the chief, the chief discussed with the chief of staff and felt that although the plan was dangerous, it did have hope of success.

Finally, the chief came to a conclusion: "I think we can try it. If we do nothing, tens of thousands of people in Zhongtiao Mountain will face the dilemma of being surrounded. The impact is too great. Fighting like Xiaodongbei said failed. The loss of dozens of tanks is nothing compared to the siege of Zhongtiao Mountain!"

The chief of staff also agreed: "This is using tanks to fight special operations. Little Northeast is really courageous!"

The chief smiled and said: "He is called bold and cautious. This kind of tactics, ordinary people dare not even think about it! Not only did he dare to think about it, but he also came up with a strategy that can run on the ground and in the water at the same time for this battle." Such a boat! The devil would never have imagined that this so-called impregnable Yuncheng would be defeated twice by Xiao Dongbei!"

"Yes!" The Chief of Staff nodded his head: "I used a train to knock it open once, and this time it was a tank crossing the lake and knocked open the city gate. If I were the devil commander, I would be so angry that Xiao Dongbei would cut himself open!"

Speaking of the chief and the chief of staff, the two laughed.

In fact, they all knew that Wang Xuexin hadn't written off his horoscope yet, so it was too early to say this.

However, the life of the Eighth Route Army is difficult and the pressure of command and combat is high. It is not feasible to work like this for a long time without knowing how to have fun while suffering.

Then the chief sent a telegram back to Li Yunlong: "I agree with the plan, and the whole army will do everything possible to cooperate with your troops!"

With the cooperation of the chief and the chief of staff, the various needs of the independent regiment can basically be met.

But this is only "basic". There are some things that the Eighth Route Army itself does not have, and the independent regiment will not come if it wants to.

Flares are one of them.

Flares look like a very simple thing, not much technological content and not expensive, the problem is that the Eighth Route Army has no industrial foundation...

The characteristic of not having an industrial base is that when you want something, you always find that you don’t have it. The only things you can make are aided by other countries, and you find that you can’t do what you want.

For example, the Eighth Route Army can now produce rifles and bullets, but only rifles and bullets.

It is said that the production of rifles and bullets is much more difficult than flares, but it is impossible to produce flares... Without a large and complete industrial base, technology cannot be transferred and diffused, and it is very passive in research and development.

That's why there is such a saying as "big country heavy industry".

The modern network is boasting about high technology and innovation every day...

In fact, what is more important to a country is not these, what is important is a strong industrial base.

With a strong industrial foundation, high-tech and innovation will come naturally, so we have to take it step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

If you don’t have an industrial foundation, you want to engage in high-tech and innovation... To build a destroyer, buy the radar from this country, ask that country to design the hull, buy the engine from that country, and any so-called "self-developed" equipment can be assembled by the United Nations.

If you want to use any words to describe this, it is a fake Dakong's face project. It is a typical Beiyang Fleet in battle. The data looks beautiful but it is useless.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army has no choice. Some modern countries have the conditions and opportunities but do not take the road of industrialization and blindly hope to quickly climb the branches of a big and powerful country by purchasing technology. This is simply nonsense.

Wang Xuexin originally thought that it would not be a big problem to gather hundreds of flares, but he did not expect Li Yunlong to send a telegram, saying: "There are only 53 flares in the entire army, is it enough?"

Wang Xuexin was dumbfounded when he saw the number.

Still asking if it's enough?
Fifty or so coins are not enough for training!

Gangzi explained from the side: "Battle Commander, our Eighth Route Army can't use flares, they are all used by devils! Usually the battlefield captures are not kept, and they are directly destroyed. Now that we need them temporarily, where can we find so many! "

After hearing this, Wang Xuexin understood.

The Eighth Route Army often carried out activities at night, such as building bunkers and bombing artillery towers in the dark. The devils were eager to turn the night into daylight, so they used all available flares and searchlights.

Over time, flares and searchlights have become symbols of the devils. The Eighth Route Army hates these things when they see them, and subconsciously destroys them to prevent them from being used by the devils, but now they can't find them.

"This is troublesome!" Chen Songyong frowned and said, "The whole army only has about fifty rounds, which is not enough on the battlefield, let alone training!"

Chen Songyong previously estimated the number of flares needed:
Based on [-] tanks, if each tank needs [-] rounds of flares, then [-] rounds are needed.

Including three nights of training, three rounds are played every night, and nearly [-] rounds will be needed in three nights.

Plus some spares, it will take about [-] rounds in total.

But now that they couldn't even make up a fraction, the training couldn't start.

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin said: "There are not enough flares...let's use incendiary bombs!"

Gangzi's eyes lit up, and he agreed: "This is a good idea. I think incendiary bombs are more effective than flare bombs. The flare bombs light up a large area in the air. It is still difficult for the gunner to determine where the target is, but if the incendiary bomb hits nearby and burns Once you catch it, the goal is obvious!"

Chen Songyong said in embarrassment: "Incendiary bombs... we may not have that many, at most three or four hundred rounds!"

This is not because the output of rockets is not high, but that rockets have developed a variety of ammunition, mainly armor-piercing ammunition for anti-tank.

Wang Xuexin said: "Immediately ask the arsenal to hurry up and produce. Incendiary bombs and flares can make up [-] rounds!"

Wang Xuexin no longer dared to have such high requirements, as long as the battlefield is enough, save it if you can save it in normal training!

But later Wang Xuexin discovered a training method to save ammunition:
The bazooka does not need to be fired during training. Anyway, the tank gunner sees the fire in front and fires in that direction.

Therefore, the incendiary bombs were directly replaced with incendiary bottles during training, which saved about [-] rounds of ammunition.

As for following infantry, their perception ability is much better than that of tanks. What they need to learn is actually the operation of the bazooka, and then use incendiary bombs to indicate the direction for the tank.
