At the tank training ground, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles are conducting tactical drills in this open field, and the gunners are firing live ammunition at the target, and the smoke and flames of gunfire are filled. There were also some tank drivers who used the old T26 to train their recruits in driving skills, and the scene was very lively

"Car No. 8 quickly followed, car No. 1 and car No. 2 slowed down..."

"The radio you have in your hand is not an ornament! Each commander pays attention to the surrounding environment and notifies you to make adjustments in time! ”

"Armored vehicles cruise on the flanks, pay attention to keep the distance, and respond to the surrounding situation at any time......"

Yuan Li stood on the command platform, commanding the tank regiment with a radio communicator, and constantly issuing orders one after another.

On the other hand, Hong Mu is guiding the recruits to do basic training such as driving, firing artillery, and marching in formation, and the auxiliary soldiers and transport regiment troops are not idle, helping to transport ammunition and materials, and overhaul equipment has become a compulsory course for them.

……

On a hill next to the training ground, Chen Jize and other high-ranking officers of the armored brigade were actively discussing tactical arrangements here.

The tanks and chariots galloping back and forth down the hill raised huge smoke and dust, the thick barrels glowing with silver light were fierce, and the large-caliber machine guns on the armored vehicles were even more majestic.

Liao Mingyu looked forward with a telescope with great interest, and the armored brigade seemed to have begun to take shape, but it may have to make a lot of adjustments in the actual combat mode, otherwise it would be difficult to adapt to the environment of the Burmese battlefield.

"Jize, what do you think the armored brigade should take in the future?"

This sentence stunned Chen Jize, what other way can the armored forces go? Isn't it just to break through the enemy's positions with powerful firepower and protection and support the infantry attack?

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still told his cognition honestly:

"Tanks should be used as a support weapon for the infantry in joint operations, and I use the armored brigade as an iron claw to tear open the gaps in the enemy's lines with the support of tanks, so as to expand the results of the battle and reduce the losses caused by the infantry."

Liao Mingyu just nodded noncommittally after hearing this, his thoughts were very consistent with the tactical concept of tanks in the early days of the U.S. military, and they all believed that tanks were a sharp weapon to accompany infantry operations, but they all ignored the terrible advantages brought by tank group operations.

At the time of the Normandy landings, U.S. tanks were still weapons to support the infantry, failing to form an armored cluster to advance forward. It was not until 1944 that the U.S. Army made adjustments to the implementation of the infantry and tank coordination tactics, and each infantry regiment would be accompanied by a tank battalion, and the tanks would be concentrated to act as the vanguard of the infantry regiment's attack, using tanks to clear the way for the infantry to advance.

Judging from the experience of the previous operations, most of the armored forces were carried out under the cover of infantry, on the one hand, because of the small number, and on the other hand, due to the influence of the terrain, there were few cases of tank group attacks.

"In view of the terrain in northern Myanmar, the armored forces cannot be fully deployed, and I am also considering forming a light infantry regiment to join your brigade later.

"Understood, please rest assured." Chen Jize's expression was solemn and he replied seriously.

Butan synergy... If taken literally, this tactic is simple: the infantry just rushes with the tank to the left and right.

To use the most popular language to explain infantry and tank coordination, that is, the infantry advances with the tank as the center, and the tank opens the way for the infantry to block the attack of enemy fire.

The infantry needs to observe the surrounding environment at all times, prevent enemy infantry from raiding the tank, remove anti-tank mines on the road, etc., and escort the safety of the tank. Tanks have always played the role of pioneers, and infantry is an extension of tank firepower, responsible for expanding the results of battle.

In this era, each country has a unique set of views on the use of armored forces, but in the actual combat environment, the infantry and tank coordination tactics are very complex, and it is estimated that only the German and Soviet armies can play during World War II, and the Allies on the Western Front have always been babbling.

After a pause, Liao Mingyu then said: "However, the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and the armored forces cannot rely on only one tactic, the infantry and the tank are coordinated, the artillery is coordinated, and the group is fighting... It is necessary to make effective arrangements according to the battlefield situation, the quality of soldiers is one thing, and the rational use of tactics is the key to victory. ”

"Ji Ze understands, Xie Junzuo taught." Chen Jize closed his legs and replied with a solemn face.

Looking at his serious appearance, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but smile, this kid is good at everything, he has good attainments in command at a young age, and his military ability can also be among the best among all commanders in the whole army, but he is too serious, and his emotional intelligence is a little low to say that it is ugly.

In the intriguing officialdom of the national government, a young man like him who is capable but does not know how to flatter is destined to be suppressed if he does not meet a Bole.

"It's been almost two years since I've been here, and my parents are okay now?" Liao Mingyu suddenly diverted the topic and chatted about homely things.

"My aunt is in Ziyang, Sichuan, and I sent my parents there before I came to western Yunnan, but I was able to avoid the war temporarily, but I don't know where Hunan is..."

Speaking of this, Chen Jize was a little eager to say and stopped, this war has not yet been decided, Hengyang is fighting hotly, if Hunan is lost again, then the Japanese will definitely take action against Guizhou and Sichuan next, and Huaxia will be in danger.

"Don't worry, the Ninth War Zone has been fighting for seven years and has not been able to tell the winner, General Xue, this tiger is not easy to mess with, and it is a fool's dream for the little devil to want to take Hunan."

Liao Mingyu seemed to understand what he was thinking, and spoke very confidently.

Indeed, when the Japanese army attacked Hunan, it took seven years to invest about 600,000 troops, and the Japanese invested about 400,000 troops in the Battle of Changsha alone. And Huaxia has invested as much as 1.2 million.

From the Battle of Changsha launched by the Japanese army in 39 to the Battle of Hengyang in 44, all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Theater fought with the Japanese for seven years, and countless battles of all sizes were carried out.

More than 110,000 Japanese troops were annihilated in the three battles of Changsha, including several other battles, and a total of about 200,000 Japanese troops were annihilated. This battle was also the urban offensive and defensive battle with the largest casualties and the longest fighting time in the history of the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Hunan is like the most insurmountable chasm, and General Xue Yue once became a nightmare for little devils to talk about, until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army still did not take Hunan, and Hunan also became a sad place for the Japanese.

"Well, with the support of the 11th Army and the 20th Group Army, I believe that it will be difficult for the Japanese to take advantage of this Battle of Hengyang." Chen Jize seemed to suddenly open up, and his eyes were shiny again.

Liao Mingyu nodded, thinking of what he had been worried about, and couldn't help but speak: "I've been fighting with me in a foreign country... I'm sorry for you. ”

"Junzuo, the grace of knowing should be rewarded, we are just unsatisfactory officers in the army, and the opportunity to command thousands of troops and horses depends on your support, why is it difficult to say? I'm sure Hong Mu thinks so too. ”

Although Chen Jize doesn't understand the way of officialdom, he knows very well that if there is no Liao Mingyu, many of them can only stay in the grassroots troops and be suppressed, and it is basically impossible to show their ambitions and realize their ambitions.

Saying goes... The soldier died for his confidant, he was able to become a major general and brigade commander at a young age, in addition to his own efforts, he relied more on the trust of the other party, and it was a lucky thing to have such a commander who could be selfish and still give heavy responsibilities.

"We may be in Myanmar for a long time, and we don't know what the future holds, but we don't know what other people will think." Liao Mingyu sighed and said helplessly.

Although his plan is to develop and grow based on Southeast Asia, it is inevitable to stay abroad for a long time, and he doesn't even know when he will be able to return to China, but his gang may not be able to understand.

"Ji Ze has never thought about it so much, but we all know that expanding the territory is the greatest glory of our generation, I believe that Junzuo must also have his own ideas, I wait... We are willing to help you! ”

Chen Jize expressed his heartfelt enthusiasm enthusiastically, although he was not good at expressing emotions, but he was not stupid, and he had a high level of insight and guessed the mystery of it.

In fact, Chen Jize and several other old comrades-in-arms have long talked about why Liao Mingyu died in Myanmar and returned to China, although the latter did not disclose anything, but everyone felt that Junzuo probably had other plans.

At this time, Liao Mingyu has shown his ambition, with the sophisticated weapons and equipment in his hands and the strong support of the Yankees, it is not impossible to find another way in Southeast Asia, and Hong Mu, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, hopes that he can stand on his own and fight for his hegemony in this troubled world.

Looking at the other party's unpretentious expression, Liao Mingyu felt very relieved, thinking that the average age of the dozens of officers who had just arrived in the Sichuan Army was less than 25, and there were less than two of them still alive.

However, each of them is an iron-clad tough guy, and they have become Liao Mingyu's most fanatical supporters so far.

"The situation in the country is very bad, and even if this war ends, it will not be peaceful, alas... The general trend is not something you and I can change, and the reason why we stay here is also a last resort. ”

Liao Mingyu's face was gloomy, and he rarely talked about some taboo things and his ambitions:

"The road to the rise of the country is destined to be bumpy, I hope to leave a way back for my brothers, and also leave a barrier for China overseas!"
