Chapter 736: Flag Communication (Page 1/1)

Step-Tan coordination is definitely a problem of high technical difficulty in China now, and at the same time, it is in a relatively primitive stage in terms of technical equipment.

The armored equipment of the national army is only a simple tank, and the largest tank is only a light tank like the T26, and the infantry vehicles such as half-tracks and armored vehicles are almost zero, like the motorized infantry and mechanized infantry that rely on trucks and half-tracks to move abroad (the German army's panzergrenadiers, all rely on the SP251 series of half-track vehicles to move forward), in the country is not to think about it, the Fifth Army itself can only be regarded as an infantry army that has strengthened tanks and trucks, far from mechanized troops.

The infantry can only rely on their own iron feet to attack, and there is no technical equipment such as walkie-talkies and telephones (referring to the tank telephone, which is installed on the tank, and the infantry can use it to communicate with the tank outside the vehicle, Lao Mei installed it on the Sherman, and the PLA tank is also equipped with similar equipment)

In this case, Zhang Wei can only use a simple and crude method, with the most primitive means to strengthen the coordination of tanks and infantry, this set of methods made him spend a lot of effort to study, and the core of the method is in the configuration of communication and liaison means, the tank of the Fifth Army, the platoon commander and the company commander's seat car are equipped with a receiver station, with command and reception capabilities, therefore, Zhang Wei suggested that Zhao Li in the T26 platoon commander and company commander car to add a communication observer equipped with a flag and a telescope, Communicate with the infantry units, communicate with these tanks with command ability, inform the command tank of the information and the situation to be reported, and then report to other tanks through the tank with command ability, and transmit the information to the entire tank column, only in this way can good coordination be maintained.

The flag in the observer's hand is used to communicate with the infantry.

……

A few days later, on the training ground of the same Fifth Army Tank Corps, the smoke of gunfire was not as good as that of that day, and the number of tanks on the wide field was not as good as the first exercise. However, in terms of the quality and effect of the drill, compared with the first failed drill, it is not just a little bit better, to be precise, there is a qualitative improvement.

The characteristic detonation sound of the Soviet-style tank machine gun sounded, strafing the visible targets on the opposite position.

There are only fourteen T26 tanks on the entire field, except for T26, CV35 and sidecar search motorcycles, all of which are useless on the training ground, these two tanks should have been used for reconnaissance and search, not for impact, attack, the first exercise, two companies of the Fifth Army Tank Regiment brought CV35 and sidecar motorcycles to impact, saying that they have been living in peace for too long, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been in peace for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to be dizzy.

Fourteen T26 tanks lined up, the impact of the fourteen tanks at moderate speed, and the infantry is closely connected, the rear and flanks of the tank, nine companies of the second regiment of infantry running quickly to follow, whether it is the middle of the two adjacent tanks, or the rear of the tank, you can see the figure of the infantry, and even a small number of infantry, beyond the tank column, truly do the coordination of the infantry tank, both are one, due to the tankers reduced down the forward speed, all the infantry can calmly hold the weapon, Under the cover of the tank, the speed of the tank slowed down, and the infantry of the second regiment could calmly give full play to their infantry tactical literacy.

Among the fourteen tanks, the platoon commander, the company commander's seat car on the newly added observer, slightly poked his head out of the turret, nervously observing the movement of the infantry team, Zhao Li took Zhang Wei's suggestion, in the platoon commander and company commander seat car increased observers, these increased observers are all sergeants in the chariot corps, experienced, courageous, all observers are equipped with telescopes, the surrounding infantry movements, no matter far or near, of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, in wartime it is easy to be named by the Japanese army, It also increases the congestion in the turret, but there is no way, there is a lack of communication equipment, and the only way to establish effective communication is to let the observers take risks.

The main force of the infantry of the impact is behind the tank, a small part is next to the tank and in front of the tank, and the whole has been integrated with the tank unit, Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, Ye Zhenhua three infantry battalion commanders, in the shock team of the command post infantry impact, this attack, each of them whether it is command, or charge, is very calm, Zhang Wei in order to strengthen communication and liaison, the platoon commander and company commander of the tank unit have added observers, equipped with a command flag.

The infantry was also Zhang Wei made certain measures, nine infantry companies, each company has a lieutenant attached to the company headquarters (this position is equivalent to the deputy company commander) nine companies are attached to carry the signal flag for the use of the flag, wartime with the signal flag to the observer in the tank to release information, the two sides to the flag book two-way communication, the observers in the tank are all sergeants, have received special flag training, the ability to recognize the flag is strong, in the chaos of the battlefield, is a more effective means of communication, of course, if urgent, It's not impossible to have the infantry climb directly to the tank and give orders.

Equipped with flags and binoculars in the tank, and each company of the infantry carries a signal flag, Zhang Wei used the most primitive means to establish a set of useful means of communication and liaison, which may not be the best, nor the fastest, but it is definitely based on the most realistic conditions under the existing conditions.

……

The tank column and the infantry were mixed together, approaching the target position, Zhang Wei looked at the well-coordinated, orderly infantry mixed column to attack the enemy position, there was indescribable satisfaction in his heart, sure enough, his own means are very useful, after the improvement of the infantry and tank coordination has been greatly improved, although a little rusty, but the first time, it is not the same day at all.

"Regiment commander, your trick still works, let them stuff people into the tank, these tank soldiers don't dare to rush around, are these tank soldiers because someone wants to go out of the turret to observe, afraid that the head will be named, so they don't dare to rush and slow down the speed?" Zheng Yiqun said with a smile.

When Zhang Wei heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, Zheng Yiqun was able to make up this kind of reason, although he knew that it was a joke, Zhang Wei still reminded him, after all, this is too ugly, saying that people are afraid of death, if they really want to let the people of the chariot regiment know, they will definitely be unhappy in their hearts, and it will definitely affect the coordination.

"This kind of joke is rare, and people also accompany us to practice, this word spreads, and when the tank blocks us bullets on the battlefield in the future, we don't have to care, and it is our own brothers who will suffer when the time comes."

Zheng Yiqun knew that he was speechless, and he closed his mouth when he landed.
