"The horse-loaded heavy machine gun tactic is one of the few means that can make the heavy heavy machine gun have high mechanical power under the extremely limited mechanical transportation means of our Eighth Route Army."

"The wagon is the easiest means of transport available to us at our disposal, and its speed allows the heavy machine guns to move into a suitable firing position to fire, even so fast that the enemy has no time to build an effective defense before attacking and retreating before the enemy can successfully build a fire counterattack."

"It can be understood as an efficient, rapidly changing guerrilla tactic."

"The heavy machine gun, which can rotate almost 360 degrees, coupled with the protective shield in front of the machine gun, can carry out quite effective fire suppression against the target, and even the pursuing enemy cavalry."

"However, this tactic is not impossible to crack, and there is no such thing as an uncrackable tactic in this world."

"If the enemy covers the horse-borne machine gun crew, under a large area of artillery fire, whether it is the shield or the mobility of the carriage, it will not play any role at this time."

"In addition, our horse-borne machine gun tactics rely on war horses, war horses provide high-speed mobility for the carriage and heavy machine gun as a whole, if the enemy takes the lead in defeating our war horse, then the mobility of the carriage and heavy machine gun will disappear immediately."

"Fortunately, such flaws are only relative, first, the target of our horse-borne machine gun tactics is not a fire defense position that is ready to be prepared."

"In other words, the best application of this tactic is to surprise the enemy on unsteady feet, attacking before the enemy even recovers."

"With the containment and cooperation of the firepower of the frontal combat troops, by the time the enemy reacted and remembered to use firepower to knock out the war horse, our horse-borne machine gun team had already withdrawn in time."

Semi-mechanized heavy battalion of the separate regiment.

Battalion.

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

Well, I'm afraid that some fighters don't understand it very well.

I am afraid that some commanders will use this horse-mounted machine gun tactic to forcibly attack the enemy's fortifications.

Instructor Chen Dalian nodded and said, "What the regiment commander said is that the horse-borne machine gun tactics will have a miraculous effect if used as a cavalry, but if it is a frontal attack, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Last time, we attacked the devil from the flank in that plain area, and when we used this tactic, the little devil obviously didn't have time to react.

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

If it was a defense that the devil was waiting for, our horses would probably be killed before they could rush in front of the devil. ”

Kong Jie said: "The size of the war horse is too large, and it is the most obvious flaw in the tactics of this horse-borne machine gun, and the enemy can quickly detect it." All we can do is to minimize this flaw as much as possible, and all flaws are always relative. ”

"On the one hand, this tactic is only used for surprise attacks. On the other hand, this tactic is not used alone, and must be coordinated by other forces.

In addition, we can actually pull the cart with multiple horses, so that even if the outside horses are knocked out by enemy fire, the reins can be quickly removed, and the remaining horses can continue to power the carriage, which can enhance the anti-strike performance of horse-borne machine gun tactics to a certain extent. ”

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

He was a little distressed and said: "Commander, this method is good, but it takes too much to war!" ”

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

"At the moment, our semi-mechanized rearmament battalion is said to be semi-mechanized, but in fact it is not comparable to the little devils at all.

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

This horse-borne machine gun team is equivalent to a tank of the devil, if multiple war horses drive together to pull the cart, the carriage can be loaded with more than just heavy machine guns, we can be completely flexible, even if it is loaded with some mortars and rapid-fire guns, it may not be impossible. ”

"In this comparison, the devil's tank has artillery, we also have artillery, the devil's tank has machine gun firepower, we also have machine gun firepower, but the defensive armor is weaker, but we have more convenient mobility, the war horse can go and stop at any time, and the devil's tank reacts faster than the devil's tank."

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

The three of them laughed together, and after laughing for a moment, Kong Jie thought of the horror of the armored cluster tactic.

After thinking about it, he said: "The application of tactics is inexhaustible under the idea of flexibility. ”

"Since our horse-borne machine gun team can be compared to the devil's armored vehicle, then the tactics that the devil's armored vehicle can have, we may not be able to try."

"For example, our horse-borne machine gun team, each team can be regarded as an armored vehicle, and all the armored vehicles are concentrated to attack the target, isn't it a bit of an armored cluster?"

Chen Dalian said: "Regiment commander, if the terrain of the battlefield is appropriate, in a large area of engagement, let's deploy a large number of horse-borne machine gun teams at one time, and achieve a high degree of coordination, if we carry out this kind of armor-like cluster operation, that kind of scene is indeed shocking, and the power must be extraordinary." ”

Kong Jie said: "Not only that, once you semi-mechanized heavy battalion, you can achieve a high degree of coordinated operation of the horse-borne machine gun team." ”

"Coupled with the coordination of infantry and artillery, whether it is a blitzkrieg launched by an armored group, or a roundabout operation that takes the lead in breaking through and penetrating deep into the enemy's depth, smashing directly into the enemy's headquarters, and cutting off the enemy's command headquarters from the front, or a breakthrough in depth."

"These will all become tactics that we can use horse-borne machine gun groups to effectively fight the enemy."

"So, Sun Desheng, Chen Dalian, I'm afraid you don't have time to be idle, this horse-borne machine gun tactic has just taken shape in our independent regiment. How to develop in the future and whether you can play well depends on whether your training is sufficient or not. ”

"My requirements are not high, and within three months, I will strive to achieve a high degree of coordination among horse-borne machine gun teams."

"Do you have faith?"

"Yes, please rest assured that the regiment commander will complete the task!" Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian responded in unison.

Kong Jie said: "Okay, it's just to strengthen the training of horse-borne machine gun group tactics, but the training in other aspects can't be left behind, we have to continue to speed up the process of the cavalry unit to the semi-mechanized heavy army." ”

"Yes!"

……

……

Although no one said it.

But since the Independent Regiment got the news:

After returning to their respective base areas from the visits, exchanges, and study of the independent regiments, the cadres of the regiments frantically launched a large-scale military training within the regiments.

The military cadres of the Independent Regiment also felt a lot of pressure.

"You've heard about it, right? The last time we visited the exchange and study conference, our independent regiment showed a hand to the commanders and political commissars of other regiments, which was a long face, and after these regiment commanders and political commissars went back, they all began to train strictly and frantically for the soldiers in the regiment, just to catch up with us. ”

"But what kind of team are we? We are an independent regiment, and we can even be said to be the strongest main combat regiment in the Taihang region, one of the iron triangles in the northwest of Shanxi, can we let other regiments compare? ”

"They practice, we have to practice, and we have to practice more ruthlessly and crazy than them, we have to let them know that no matter how they practice, the gap between them and our independent regiment will only get bigger and bigger, this is ability, this is the arrogance of our independent regiment soldiers."

"Military boots are always worn by the soldiers of our independent regiment, the biggest victory is always fought by the soldiers of our independent regiment, and the nightmare that the devil is most afraid of will always be the team of our independent regiment!"

"How is it, comrades, do you have this backbone?"

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

"There's—"

"There's—"

The hoarse roars of the warriors echoed through the mountains and forests.

This is the honor and belief that the independent regiment has won again and again in the past year or so, and has brought glory and faith to the collective.

From the first day they joined the Independent Regiment, the fighters were invisibly instilled with a thought:

"I am a soldier of the Independent Regiment, and my regiment commander is Kong Jie of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, none of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment are bad, and we will never embarrass the regiment commander!"

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

……

The volume is not limited to the other regiments, but also within the independent regiments.

It can even be said that it is a typical microcosm of the competition and large-scale training of the regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base Area.

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

In the past, in the morning exercises, everyone ran and ran collectively, and the practice queue was enough.

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

New content has been added to the morning exercise, not only to run, practice queues, but also to shout slogans, whose slogans are shouted, as if whoever has won the victory, who is the "morning king" of the day's plan in the morning.

Something similar to "one company after another, move forward bravely, resist the enemy and kill the enemy, and take the lead".

"The three companies are the strongest, the whole regiment is the king, go into battle to kill the enemy, and the Japanese will die."

……

"Fifteen and fifteen, the tiger in the mountains, the rabbit of the puppet army, the devil sheep, the tiger has one mouth, and the sheep and rabbits are all taken away......"

……

In the places where the companies were stationed, the slogans of the soldiers were shouted loudly and loudly, and one after the other was overshadowed.

The content of the morning exercise even added training such as stabbing, fighting, bomb throwing, and shooting.

In the words of each company commander: "The ability is based on training, training takes time, and when you practice in the morning, you practice less than others for a while, and if the time is long, it will add up to the gap, they practice, we have to practice, and we have to practice hard." ”

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

As the elite of the fifth echelon divided by everyone in the regiment.

You can't let the other companies compare.

Early in the morning, the noisy shouts from all sides made the regiment commander Kong Jie have a headache.

How did things get like this?
