Chapter 533 The Armored Group Breaks Through in Depth

"The horse-mounted heavy machine gun tactic is one of the few methods that can allow the bulky heavy machine gun to have high mobility when the mechanical transportation tools of our Eighth Route Army are extremely limited."

"The carriage is the easiest means of transportation for our current conditions. Its speed allows the heavy machine gun to move to a suitable firing position and fire, and it is even so fast that the enemy has no time to build an effective defense before launching an attack. , and retreat before the enemy successfully constructs a counter fire."

"It can be understood as a highly efficient, ever-changing guerrilla tactic."

"A heavy machine gun that can rotate nearly 360 degrees, coupled with the protective shield in front of the machine gun, the machine gun can suppress the target, and even the enemy cavalry that is chasing, quite effectively."

"However, this tactic is not unbreakable. There has never been an unbreakable tactic in this world."

"If the enemy army covers the horse-mounted machine gun group with artillery fire, under the large-scale artillery fire, whether it is the shield or the mobility of the carriage, it will not have any effect at this time."

"In addition, our horse-mounted machine gun tactics rely on the horses. The horses provide high-speed mobility for the carriages and heavy machine guns. If the enemy destroys our horses first, the mobility of the carriages and heavy machine guns will disappear immediately. .”

"Fortunately, such flaws are only relative. First, the target of our horse-mounted machine gun tactics is not a fire defense position that is in full swing."

"In other words, the best application of this tactic is to surprise an enemy on shaky feet, attacking before the enemy even comes to his senses."

"With the firepower containment and cooperation of the frontal combat troops, when the enemy reacts and remembers to use firepower to destroy the horses, our horse-mounted machine gun team has already evacuated in time."

Semi-Mechanized Heavy Equipment Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

battalion department.

Kong Jie said when discussing horse-mounted machine gun tactics with Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian.

The reason is that some soldiers don't quite understand it.

I'm afraid that some commanders will use this horse-mounted machine gun tactic to forcibly attack the enemy's fortifications that are in full swing.

Instructor Chen Dalian nodded, and said: "What the commander said is that the horse-mounted machine gun tactics will be very effective when used as cavalry, but if it is a frontal attack, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The last time we launched an attack on the devils from the flanks in that plain area, when we used this tactic, the little devils obviously had no time to react.

But even so, the follow-up still killed all six of our war horses.

If it was a defensive situation where the devils were waiting seriously, our horses would have been beaten to death before they rushed in front of the devils. "

Kong Jie said: "The horse is too big, and it is the most obvious flaw in the horse-mounted machine gun tactics. The enemy will soon notice it. All we can do is to reduce this flaw as much as possible. All the flaws It's always relative."

"On the one hand, this tactic is only used for surprise attacks. On the other hand, this tactic cannot be used alone, and other troops must be used for coordinated operations.

In addition, we can actually pull multiple horses in parallel, so that even if the outer horses are destroyed by enemy fire and the reins are removed quickly, the remaining horses can continue to provide power for the carriage, which can be used from To a certain extent, the anti-strike performance of horse-mounted machine gun tactics is enhanced. "

As the former commander of the cavalry company, Sun Desheng has dealt with war horses for most of his life, and he is the person who loves war horses the most.

He said with some distress: "Commander, this method is good, but it's too costly!"

Kong Jie patted Sun Desheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "So it depends on your specific tactical command, Lao Sun. The horse is also our comrade in arms, and we must also avoid casualties as much as possible."

"Right now, our semi-mechanized heavy equipment battalion is said to be semi-mechanized, but in fact it is incomparable to little devils.

We have no tanks, no armored vehicles, and even the number of trucks and motorcycles is extremely limited. "

"But when did our Eighth Route Army admit defeat?

We don't have tanks or armored vehicles, but we have horses and carriages!

This horse-mounted machine gun team is equivalent to a devil's tank. If multiple horses drive side by side to pull the cart, the cart can carry more than just heavy machine guns. We can be flexible, just load some mortars And rapid-fire guns, it may not be impossible. "

"Compared in this way, the devil's tank has guns, and we also have guns. The devil's tank has machine gun firepower, and we also have machine gun firepower, but the defensive armor is weaker, but we have more convenient mobility, and the horses can go anywhere at any time. Stop, it's faster than the devil's tank reaction."

Chen Dalian said with a smile: "From now on, the horse-mounted machine gun team will be the exclusive armored vehicle of our independent regiment."

The three of them laughed together. After laughing for a moment, Kong Jie thought of the horror of armored cluster tactics.

After thinking about it, he said: "The application of tactics is endless under the flexible thinking."

"Since our horse-mounted machine gun team can be compared to the Devil's armored vehicle, we may not be unable to try the tactics that the Devil's armored vehicle can have."

"For example, our horse-mounted machine gun team, each team can be regarded as an armored vehicle, and all the armored vehicles are gathered together to attack the target. Does it mean an armored cluster?"

Chen Dalian said: "Commander, if the terrain of the battlefield is suitable, in a large area of ​​engagement, we deploy a large number of horse-mounted machine gun teams at one time, and achieve a high degree of coordination. The scene is indeed shocking, and its power must be extraordinary."

Kong Jie said: "More than that, once your semi-mechanized heavy battalion can achieve a high degree of coordinated operations with horse-mounted machine gun teams."

"Combined with the coordination of infantry and artillery, whether it is the blitzkrieg launched by the armored group, or the first breakthrough, go deep into the enemy's depth, go straight to the enemy's headquarters, and cut off the enemy's headquarters from the front. breakthrough."

"These are going to be tactics that we can use horse-mounted machine gun teams to be effective against enemy forces."

"So, Sun Desheng, Chen Dalian, I'm afraid you don't have time to be idle. This horse-mounted machine gun tactic has just taken shape in our independent regiment. How it will develop in the future and whether it can be successful depends on you next. The training is not enough."

"My requirements are not high. Within three months, I will strive to achieve a high degree of coordinated operations of the horse-mounted machine gun team."

"Are you confident?"

"Yes, please don't worry, the head of the group, and promise to complete the task!" Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian responded in unison.

Kong Jie said: "Okay, just strengthen the tactical training of the horse-mounted machine gun team, but the training in other aspects must not be left behind. We must continue to accelerate the process of fully transforming the cavalry unit into a semi-mechanized heavy unit."

"Yes!"

……

……

Although no one said it.

But since the independent group got the news:

After visiting, exchanging, and studying from the independent regiment and returning to their respective bases, the cadres of each regiment frantically launched military training in the regiment.

The military cadres of the independent regiment also felt a lot of pressure.

"Have you heard about it? When we visited the exchange and study conference last time, our independent group showed off to the leaders and political commissars of other groups. It was a good face. After these group leaders and political commissars returned, they all started The strict and crazy training of the fighters in the regiment is just to catch up with us."

"But what kind of team are we? We are an independent regiment, we can even be said to be the strongest main combat regiment in the Taihang area, one of the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi, can we compare with other regiments?"

"They practice, we have to practice too, and we have to practice harder and crazier than them. We have to let them know that no matter how they practice, the gap between them and our independent group will only grow wider and wider. This is ability , This is the arrogance of our independent regiment fighters."

"The military boots will always be worn by the soldiers of our independent regiment. The biggest victories will always be fought by our independent regiment soldiers. The devil's worst nightmare will always be our independent regiment's team!"

"How about it, comrades, do you have the backbone?"

On the training ground, the company commanders and platoon leaders of the independent regiment cheered up the cadres, deliberately using these words to stimulate the enthusiasm for training.

"Have--"

"Have--"

The hoarse roar of the soldiers echoed in the mountains and forests.

This is the honor and belief brought to the group by the independent group's victories and achievements over the past year.

From the first day the soldiers joined the Independence Regiment, they were instilled with an idea:
"I am a soldier of the Independence Regiment, and my regiment leader is Kong Jie from the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi. None of the soldiers in the Independence Regiment is bad. We will never embarrass the regiment leader!"

"Practice, practice——, as long as you don't die in practice, practice to death, practice more in normal times, kill more enemies on the field! More bloodshed in training, less sacrifice in the battlefield!"

……

The volume is not limited to other regiments, the same is true within the independent regiment.

It can even be said to be a typical microcosm of the competition among the regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.

Just a simple morning exercise has been played to an unprecedented level.

In the past, when doing morning exercises, everyone would go for a run together, just practice the queue.

But since the training in the regiment started to roll up.

A new content has been added to the morning exercises. Not only do you have to run and train in the queue, but you also have to shout slogans. Whoever shouts the slogan loudly seems to win the victory, and whoever makes the most of the day is the "morning king".

It's similar to "one after another, go forward bravely, resist the enemy and kill the bandits, and take the lead".

"Three companies are the strongest, and the whole regiment is king. If you go to battle and kill the enemy, the Japanese invaders will surely die."

……

"Ten 55, the tiger in the mountain, the puppet army rabbit, the ghost sheep, the tiger opens its mouth, and the sheep and rabbits are all taken away..."

……

At the places where the companies were stationed, the slogans of the soldiers chanted loudly, one overriding the other.

The content of morning exercises even added training such as stabbing, fighting, bombing, and shooting.

In the words of the company commanders: "Skills come from practice. Training takes time. During morning exercises, we practice less than others. If the time is long, the gap will be widened when they add up. They practice, we have to practice too." , you have to practice hard.”

Even the guard company stationed at the regiment headquarters, under the leadership of the monk, has also strengthened military training.

As the elite of the fifth echelon that everyone in the group tacitly divides.

Can't let the other companies compare.

Early in the morning, the noisy shouts from all sides gave the head of the team Kong Jie a headache.

Why did things turn out like this?
