Chapter 80: The Role of Comrades-in-Arms
There are no heroes on the battlefield, and single-handedly taking on a division with a machine gun in the first drop of blood is always a fairy tale on TV. Special forces can only stay in the work of cutting melons and vegetables in the frontal battlefield, if you ask the soldiers on the battlefield what is the most important. He will definitely tell you that he is a comrade-in-arms. To be exact, it is the cooperation of comrades-in-arms.
A series of tactical actions such as shooting on the training ground, crawling forward, etc., no matter how well they are completed, they are also actions on the training ground. If you really perform well on the battlefield and are noticed by the enemy, and several people specifically use guns to aim at you, you are several times more physically than normal humans, and it is useless. This is the cruelty of the firepower era, the evolution of the battlefield in the era of cold weapons mixed very good officers carry this machete, just like playing Assassin's Creed, killing and killing. At this stage, the mortality rate of officers was very low. But in the age of firepower, the power of weapons has increased dramatically. That's how things changed. The lieutenant was very reluctant to enter the duties of the colonel.
A person can't crisscross the battlefield in the firepower era, no matter how good your physical fitness is, everything reaches the limit of the human body, and how strong your tactical skills are, a person faces a tactical squad in the firepower era on a frontal battlefield, that is death.
When foreign films and Chinese films depict military wars, Chinese films have a distinctive feature, which must emphasize the importance of comrades-in-arms, and the almost sensational dialogues between comrades-in-arms on the battlefield. At the Chinese military parade, there was such a collective coordinated action, when walking the right step, the spear in the hand suddenly slashed, and the spear with the bayonet brushed together was pointed at the front at an angle of forty-five. The chill of the bayonet pressed against the back of the soldier in front. Without the slightest error. This group gun splitting action is very handsome and unique to China, but the difficulty of training is also very high. If one of the people in this square team falls, and the people behind them have guns, so that when they fall, they will be strung in a row with their own bayonets in front and behind. It's true that my ears were crossed out during the splitting training.
People who have never been a soldier will think that this action is a showmanship, and it is useless on the battlefield at all, and it is better to train for battlefield fighting like the US imperialists. However, in the eyes of the soldiers, this is a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding of mutual trust and a high degree of coordination between the whole regiment and the whole team. What is the use of this tacit understanding?
The battle under Hefei City, where Ren Di is now located, is clearly explained, and the combat effectiveness of the cooperation.
Everyone knows that heavy machine guns can block queue charges, and heavy machine guns are easy to be knocked out by mortars hiding in hidden firing corners hundreds of meters away due to their fixed position, but mortars are easy to be knocked out by upper barrel guns in range. Then the battle between the artillery began.
When we play real-time strategy games, the classes are also divided into ranged and progressive, and we also have to feel that the use of long-range and short-range troops requires formation switching and operation. On the battlefield, when a senior commander is under such direct command and gives orders for each branch of the army to complete the mission, it is very stiff.
Now the fighting style of the Huaibei Red Republican Army is very flexible. First of all, the tunnel excavation was close to the land acquisition of the Imperial Army, in the process of deriving this trench. As soon as the enemy has artillery interference, the front-line commander in charge of the battlefield in the tunnel immediately uses mortar grenadiers to counter the enemy's medium-range fire. At the same time, the rear was called to provide fire support.
When they got close to the right position, the heavy mortars began to baptize the enemy position, and then the infantry followed the artillery barrage and launched a charge. When shells fell on the sky, the level of shooting on the training ground could not be played at all, and at this time, the Imperial Army gave priority to the ability to evade artillery on the battlefield. Occasionally, brave people come out and shoot with heavy machine guns. Due to the three-three system of skirmishers adopted by the Red Republican Army. The Imperial Army's previously concealed heavy machine guns were only able to sweep away a few soldiers. However, at this time, the mortar team behind reacted quickly and smashed it with long-range fire.
By the time the charge reached the enemy's closest, the enemy troops hiding in the trenches had to stick out their heads to resist. At this time, the squad platoon rapid-fire fire briefly suppressed the enemy at a distance of 50 meters, and then the infantry continued to charge forward, taking advantage of this time period of fire suppression, taking out the hand # grenade and throwing it during the charge. After bursts of explosive fire erupted in the trenches, the soldiers rushed into the trenches and cleared the trenches with rapid-fire fire before the aftermath of the explosion had dissipated.
In this process, the mortar rapid-fire fireman # grenade rapid-fire gun is suppressed alternately, in which the connection time is not more than four or five seconds, and the shortest is one second to complete the fire switching. This is the standard dispatch of the soldiers of the team to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and it is known as the tactic of the extreme of light infantry. Millions of Nationalist troops were able to maintain such combat effectiveness after joining the TG.
This tactic also illustrates the problem of the ineffectiveness of fire suppression. For example, if you call people ten times a day, if you call them between 9 and 11 o'clock and before 7 p.m., they will not be annoyed, but if you call them three times between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. the next day. People will angrily scold "You are a psychopath"
The same is true on the battlefield, where you hide in the trenches and desperately drop shells, machine guns desperately sweep. This firepower is nothing to a veteran, but when you need to aim and block the enemy, there are mortar # shells in the sky, falling towards you. In front of him, rapid-fire fire suppression or something. Are you going to let me attack or dodge?
In the course of the Korean War, it was said that dozens of shells fell on the Chinese positions in one second, but the three shells in the US positions shouted in one second that the fire was fierce and could not stand it. Some people say how the American soldiers are so cowardly. Actually, it's the American troops who are to blame, you have to see when the fuck the Chinese artillery opened fire, -- it was when the bugle blew when the bugle blew. If the Chinese soldiers didn't charge, the Yankees could have hid in the fortifications and waited for the shelling to pass, but the person opposite you came up?! If you don't come out again, the hand # grenade on the opposite side will be thrown over. Of course, if you come out, the rapid-fire weapon on the opposite side will sweep over.
In terms of shooting technology, the industrial countries have an advantage, and the shooting technology is all piled up with bullets. You're going to say that the level of shooting in a country with a weak industry is higher than that of an industrial power? This is an absolute fallacy. However, in the Korean War, the soldiers fired effective firepower in a critical time. As a result, the results of a small supply consumption, but a large number of enemy troops can be killed and wounded, so that people who have not experienced the war mistakenly believe that this army that consumes less ammunition is winning because of accurate shooting.
Under Ren Di's thinking and the army construction framework provided by Zhao Weiguo, the army in the northern Anhui base area began to develop towards this style. However, the combat style of the other two powerful armies in this world, one is the Hai Song Dynasty tyrant's ammunition smashing style, and the other is the Ming Empire, fighting for the empire and dying type, (similar to the Japanese style.) )
Soldier assault. On this battlefield covered with barbed wire and trenches, the Red Republican Army launched an attack, and on this potholed battlefield where all kinds of full-powered ammunition were interspersed according to traffic rules, these soldiers from peasant families crossed their waists and handed over the heavy responsibility of covering to their comrades behind. With a fragile carbohydrate body, in this steel environment with gunsmoke and terrifying kinetic energy, it is determined to move forward.
The defending Imperial Army, under the shock wave of artillery fire, watched in fear as the Republican soldiers rushed up and wanted to block, but as soon as they fired, they were concerned by several Republican troops, and several bullets knocked the Imperial Army back into the Turtle that tried to resist.
If you are an advancing Republican soldier at this time, you will feel that you have an aura shrouded in it, and those machine-gun mortar killers that slaughter infantry have just appeared, and when they hit a head, they are dumb in the flames of the explosion. Trust, this is an army that trusts each other, and the assault soldier trusts the soldier with a rapid-fire machine gun and gives him the task of fire suppression. However, the soldier armed with rapid-fire firepower certainly knew that he had become a thorn in the side of the other side because of his powerful firepower. They could be fired at at any moment by the machine gunners on the opposite side, but these soldiers still only paid attention to the soldiers in front who intended to counterattack, and gave their trust to the mortars who followed the infantry behind. The mortar, on the other hand, focused on eliminating enemy machine-gun fire that could appear at any time on the position, and also understood that because he would expose the gun position by firing his own artillery, he gave his trust to other mortars in concealed preparations, as well as the commander, and the commander would call down, and the fire of the artillery regiment would come to support.
This kind of bottom-up mutual trust, mutual responsibility, and wholeheartedly accomplish their combat missions. The defending Imperial army had no temper. The soldiers of the Imperial Army, who had excellent tactics on the training grounds, found themselves facing a wholehearted attack from all branches of the Republican Army on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Imperial Army have the heart to support the fire, but once they do, they must face the fire of the Republican Army, and when the time comes, will anyone come to support them at the risk of being exposed. Everything about human nature has to be considered. However, this hesitation on the battlefield, the artillery on the opposite side was not suppressed and landed not far from him, and the excellent results on the training ground could not be brought into play at all.
What makes this huge difference are the details of the two armies. There are often people who belittle the Army, saying that the Army is ten years and the Navy is a hundred years. It is true that an army can be built in ten years, but after the construction of this army is completed in ten years, it will be difficult to transform it in a hundred years.
Ren Di now has two systems in the army, the family letter system. The army would write letters to their families on a regular basis, and then after replying to them, they would gather every week under the call of the squad leader to inform each other about the situation at home. The second is the system of taking the lead in the life of the internal service squad leader, every night, the soldier sleeps first, the squad leader checks the internal office, and then sleeps after tidying up the public place. Trust is built in this way, everyone understands each other and works together, like a family. Because of mutual understanding of the family, share the difficulties and joys of the family. Every time I lose a comrade-in-arms, there is great grief.
When such a collective army goes on the attack, every soldier is afraid of losing because of the camaraderie he has gained in such an army. It is to actively cooperate with each other. Take care of each other behind. In this world, the Hai Song and Ming empires, which were born out of Western-style military construction, focused on a strict hierarchy that existed only in training and performing tasks in the Red Army. And the hierarchy of the Ming Imperial Army permeated all aspects of training life. The officer could force the soldier to clean, cook, and act like a servant. Erect authority. Trying to get the soldier to obey conditionally.
That's right, the soldiers were conditionally obedient to the tactical rules on the battlefield, crushing the classical armies that were difficult to maintain even discipline. However, in the era of firepower, the complexity of the battlefield is by no means a single combat era in which large phalanxes fight for courage and shoot guns. Gone are the days when officers wore white gloves and commanded domesticated cattle soldiers to their deaths. These officers did not care about the death of soldiers because of their hierarchy, and only began to reflect on whether there was a problem with tactics when their own troops were small enough to a certain extent. Ren Di crossed the front plane, and during the First World War, France, a powerful European army power, commanded soldiers to line up and charge towards the trenches, this Nima is how slow the commander is. Treat soldiers as animals, not soldiers' lives. So unresponsive to the battlefield.
The Red Republican Army troops continued to penetrate the Imperial positions like red-hot knives, and the artillery fire focused on one position first, and then the infantry charged under the cover of artillery fire. During the battle, the army's firepower was seamlessly connected before and after, and the Imperial army could not parry it at all. Through the binoculars, Li leisurely looked at the situation of hanging on the battlefield and made this assessment of the reaction of the imperial army: "Stiff, the tactics are too stiff. ”
Ren Di also took a look, the infantry of the imperial army could not get the support of machine guns and artillery for a long time, because the machine guns could not get the cover of the artillery, the artillery could not get the cover of their own rear artillery, the infantry could not get the cover of machine gun fire for a minute, the rapid-fire guns on the opposite side could slaughter this group of infantry in a minute, and the machine guns could not get the fire cover of mortars for ten seconds, and the artillery # shells on the opposite side quickly fell. Therefore, even though the weapons and equipment are not inferior to the republican army fighting on the front line, the effect of fighting is comparable to that of a group of soldiers on the opposite side of the army with the same number of troops.
The current battlefield is not at all the era when the later generations have a single soldier electronic walkie-talkie, if the imperial army is a modern army, the red republican army is a modern army. This tacit understanding of firepower coordination is overwhelming in this era. The path of the strongest light infantry taken by the Red Republican Army. Even if the imperial army all took drugs and became brave, Ren Di was still sure that the army in his hand could kill the other side. You can become brave by taking drugs, but you can develop it in a day.
Ten years of the army, the army is like a sword, the sword is cold and shining for a hundred years, try to ask who is competing.
