"According to my thoughts, the mechanized troops should not only be used as a defensive type of troops, our mechanized brigade, the armored mixed brigade of Brigade Commander Zhou, should be used more for offense, because our ability to run is not under the Japanese army, the Japanese army is not invulnerable, they also have weaknesses, their logistics, the connection of various units, there will also be problems. But these problems are not a problem for other troops, because the reaction speed of other units is limited, and by the time other infantry, or local armies move, or halfway through the operation, the Japanese army has already made up for the original flaws. ”

"But the mechanized brigade can rely on its own rapid reaction ability to directly insert itself into the soft underbelly of the Japanese army and tear a hole in the Japanese army. With the cooperation of other units with comparable response capabilities, it will be enough to change the current situation of focusing on defense. Win the battle in the offensive of the movement! ”

"It's the best, but now it's just a matter of thinking. There are only two mechanized brigades in the entire Central Plains Field Army, and we now have two problems, one is that the vehicle-towed artillery cannot keep up with the speed of advance and cannot be put into operation in time, and the second is that there are no colleagues who do not respond, and the faster we attack, the easier it is to become a lone army, surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. Gao Lingyun hit the nail on the head and pointed out that at present, the mechanized brigade still has a lack of offensive and is prone to encounter problems in offensive warfare.

"As a battlefield veteran, the problem you mentioned is indeed something that should be solved in the future expansion of the mechanized brigade into an armored mixed brigade. And the tank factory has already begun to solve this problem. Sun Liren looked at Gao Lingyun with appreciation, although this guy was a little lazy, but his combat vision was quite unique. Fortunately, it is his assistant. If you become an enemy. Undoubtedly quite a tricky opponent.

"What? The old men over there in the tank factory, who have never been on the battlefield, reacted so quickly? Gao Lingyun was a little surprised, so much so that he forgot to chew the peanuts in his mouth.

"WELL, WHILE A LARGER CALIBER TANK GUN IS BEING EXPERIMENTED WITH, THE AVENGER TANK CHASSIS HAS ALSO BEEN MODIFIED TO FIT THE NEW 75MM HOWITZER ON IT. I heard that the cost is a little lower than making a tank. This time, the tank factory sent one or two tanks from our brigade to come over, and they also sent a telegram over. You've been out there for a long time, and you're coming back, so I didn't know it before. ”

"Really? THE NEW HOWITZER OF 75MM CALIBER IS INSTALLED, MY GOD, NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF GUN, HIT THE JAPANESE TANK, IT IS NOT ONE CANNON AT A TIME, IF IT IS NOT GOOD, IT WILL COME TO PIERCE, AND IT WILL BE A DOUBLE SHOT! The old men over there at the chariot factory really dare to think about it. Gao Lingyun exclaimed.

"If they don't dare to think that with the current Avenger tank, they are already superior to the Japanese army. Why bother to regenerate the tomahawk that produces performance and firepower in all directions. Our tomahawk here is born. The Japanese side will not make improvements, and if they rest on their laurels, they will soon be caught up by the Japanese. Then our good days will come to an end. Sun Liren said, "This battle is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." Let's stand still, and the Japanese won't stand still and wait for us. ”

"That's right, you said, the Japanese had their own tanks before we came to the northwest, and at that time our Northeast Army, oh forgot, you weren't from the Northeast Army before."

Gao Lingyun changed his words and said, "When I was a small minion in the Northeast Army, the Japanese had their own tanks, these years, the Japanese have been arrogant, thinking that a backward country like our Republic of China cannot afford to develop their own weapons, I didn't expect the commander to take us, but in more than six years, the northwest has undergone earth-shaking changes, our current tanks are better than the Japanese, and the planes above their heads are also more resistant to war than the Japanese. ”

"That's the truth, but there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Japan was arrogant and did not recognize the threat of the northwest, but we can develop more advanced tanks, and the Japanese can do the same. No one can guarantee that their weapons will always be ahead. Therefore, we must do more homework in peacetime, and our weapons must conform to the times, and at the same time, we must also meet the needs of our combat troops to break the enemy. Through war, we will continue to promote the development and development of weapons in the rear. Because of the needs of war, aircraft have undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few decades since they appeared. Twenty years ago, the battlefields of Europe were strewn with barbed wire and trenches, and millions of troops of the Allies and the Allies threw hundreds or thousands of corpses for every trench they conquered. The British and French troops lost tens of thousands of men in a day before the German machine-gun array. ”

"In this situation, tanks that can withstand the enemy's machine gun fire, break through barbed wire, and cross trenches have emerged. Weapons came about because of war, and they also changed war. And our mechanized troops, as the most advanced troops of the Northwest Army, have also assembled all kinds of the most advanced weapons, but in terms of tactics, we have been learning from the European powers before, in fact, until now, in addition to the lack of quantity, in fact, the things that the powers have, most of us have, and even the things that the powers have not yet appeared, our Northwest Army has also come up with them, such as grenadiers, this kind of weapon, at present, the powers have never heard of or bought, and their anti-tank weapons are basically still on the battle defense artillery, and our Northwest Army has developed individual anti-tank weapons. Therefore, in addition to learning from the experience of the great powers, we must also explore on our own, otherwise we can only follow the ass of the great powers for the rest of our lives. It will never be possible to surpass the great powers. ”

"No wonder the commander promoted you in the first place, but I didn't expect that you, who had drunk foreign ink, would indeed have a few more strokes. Fortunately, the commander dug you over, otherwise it would be too condescending to let you stay in Nanjing. Gao Lingyun praised the authenticity.

"You, why don't I need you to shoot this little bit of sycophancy."

Sun Liren pointed at Gao Lingyun and shook his head, but he was a little chilled by what Gao Lingyun said. From the time he entered the northwest, Jiang Li handed over the most elite tank troops to him, and later expanded and strengthened several times.

Now he is using this unit easily, and he really let him retreat to the previous Nanjing with a group of troops that can only be regarded as ordinary light infantry at best, but he went head-to-head with the overwhelming firepower of Japanese aircraft, artillery, and armored vehicles, and watched his old subordinates who had trained and old comrades-in-arms who had lived together fall on the battlefield one by one. That feeling was even worse than killing him. It's not that he won't fight without the mechanized brigade in his hands, it's just that he has become accustomed to the combat mode in the northwest, and he has always had psychological resistance to the tactics of piling up crowds with the lives of soldiers.
