Looking at Kovalev's hurried away figure, Yang Zhen showed an imperceptible smile. He turned his head and looked at Sun San and Yuan Bin and said: "Learning to fly airplanes and chariots is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles."
.Com text] The most important thing is not to drive, but to use it. No matter what kind of weapon, if you only learn to use it, if you don't know how to use it, it will be a pile of scrap metal."
"You can learn to drive these weapons from the Soviet army, but you cannot learn their tactics. The Soviet armored tactics are extremely rigid, and their air combat tactics are not very good. At best, they are third-rate. But they are not even third-rate compared to armored tactics.
The Japanese army is not too strong. The Battle of Nomenhan relied not so much on quality, but on quantity. We don’t have such strong capital, so we can’t learn their tactics, and we can only use them as a reference at most.”
"But most of the current armor tactics of the world's major powers use tanks to accompany infantry and cover infantry. Evenly distributed, that's nonsense. Don't say that we don't have so many tanks. Even if we do, we can't do that. This
Things are not arranged in rows of seats, fruits are divided, and each family has its share. Armored troops can only be powerful if they are used intensively in the main direction, or rely on their extremely strong maneuverability to carry out flanking and detours."
"For armored troops, equipment is not the most important. What is important is the application of tactics. Only when the tactical movement is successful can the greatest power be exerted. It is necessary for you to learn driving skills and maintenance skills from the Soviet army. But they
You are not allowed to learn other tactics, you have to find a set of tactics that suit your own characteristics. Remember that equipment is dead, but people are alive."
Having said this, Yang Zhen glanced at Sun Sand, who had a thoughtful look on his face after hearing his words: "After studying for the past two months, how is everyone's progress? You can't just learn driving skills. As an armored soldier, you must comprehensively
The quality must be comprehensive. The military region does not send you out to be ordinary tank drivers. If that's the case, I can just teach you, so why spend money to send you here?"
Hearing Yang Zhen ask about the study situation, Sun San quickly stood up and said: "Commander, all the personnel sent by the military region to study this time have completed preliminary driving training. One hundred percent of the tank drivers can now perform sixty percent of the driving training."
Driving on complex terrain, the artillery shooter’s hit rate against stationary targets also reached Soviet standards.”
"Now the troops are focusing on learning the semaphore used by the Soviet armored combat, as well as integrated combat tactics, long-distance march training, tank-to-tank frontal combat, and simple repair and maintenance of tanks. In addition, various types of tanks are now being trained in accordance with the Soviet
We will carry out appropriate modifications according to military standards. The original in-car intercom system will be changed from French to Soviet-made. In addition, we are also preparing to install vehicle-mounted low-power radio stations in the vehicles of commanders at all levels."
"It is estimated that in another month, all the training will be completed and we can bring the equipment back to China. During the period of study in Jiangbei, we will strictly follow your requirements and not be students, but prepare to be coaches. Those of us who go back
It must be able to bring out the standard training of a tank army."
Yang Zhen was very satisfied with Sun San's answer: "Comrade Sun San, you are the first batch of formally trained armored personnel in our army. It can be said that you have placed high hopes on the central government. In the future, our army will always rely on millet and rifles to fight."
Whether your army can have its own armored troops, you have a heavy burden."
"I have a request. While you are learning the driving skills of the Soviet army, you should also pay more attention to the development of our own research on tank tactics. It will not work to copy the tiger from a cat. Our armored troops must have their own combat style, especially
We cannot copy Jiangbei’s combat experience. We must take our reality as the starting point.”
"Although the apprentice himself is learning from the master, he cannot copy the master everywhere. When learning, the fittest must survive. The good side must not only be learned, but also learned thoroughly. But the bad side must not be learned, and absolutely not all
The experience is copied from Jiangbei."
"Comrade Sun San, during your free time during training, you should take the time to study the German army's use of armored forces in the Polish campaign. Their tactics are the development direction of armored forces in the world today. Concentrated use is the future development of armored forces.
The main theme. It shouldn’t be weighed down by sluggish infantry.”
"After you have completed all basic training, you will return home with your equipment. We have built a large collaborative combat training ground in Fujin, and all your tactical synthesis training will be conducted there. You must hurry up to improve the tanks here.
Time goes on.”
"I have brought a batch of vehicle-mounted wireless communication systems with me this time. Each of your tanks will be installed. Don't worry, they all use whip antennas. They are much better than the loop antennas used by the Soviet army and can be used directly.
Secret language communication. The vehicles used by each company and platoon leader can also communicate directly with your combined command headquarters. Every vehicle must be equipped with it, including light combat vehicles."
"Comrade Sun San, I have seen your resume. You are from the old Anti-Japanese League and learned tank driving in a Soviet military school. But now you must complete the transition from a soldier to a combined commander in the shortest possible time. Can you?
It's up to you not to let our tank group, which is currently probably the largest tank group in the country, play its role. Remember, it's a group battle and not just tanks fighting alone."
"You go to the Soviet Army and ask for some data on the use of armored forces by the German Army in the Polish Campaign. Compare it with the data on the Soviet Army's armored force movements in the Soviet-Finnish War, oh, what they call the Winter Campaign. If possible, you can
Some information on the tactics used by their armored forces in the Spanish War."
"After returning to China, I will allocate five infantry battalions and some trucks to form an armored brigade with you. Of course, since the technology and tactics are not yet mature, this armored brigade can only be experimental. The Fujin base is located in a
In a few months, we will all be vacated for you. I will give you three months to conduct combined training. Remember, there are only three months, this is a task that the military region has given you that you must complete."
Yang Zhen's tone was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation, which made Sun San and several other cadres scratch their heads. The time was too short. It took only a few months to train a bunch of white troops into a synthetic army.
It’s really a bit difficult. The current army is at best just getting started.
I have just learned how to drive and use a tank, and the long-distance mechanized march and artillery shooting training have just begun. Is it too hasty to start the combined training soon? This requires long-term training and combined training, and only three months are given.
There is not enough time to formulate a comprehensive training plan. This is not a simple coordination of rifles and machine guns, but involves training of tanks, artillery, and infantry.
Regarding Sun San's silence, Yang Zhen ignored him. In later generations, Yang Zhen once saw a famous photo, which was captured by a reporter accompanying the Japanese army. During the Battle of Songhu, there was not a single tank in the battle.
Under the cover of infantry, a lone man rushed towards the Japanese position with heavy firepower.
Below this photo, a line of writing clearly explains the final outcome of this tank. Vehicle crash and death is the only and inevitable result. War cannot be won by courage alone. Backward tactics, single
The combat mode, apart from sacrificing people in vain, does not play its intended role at all.
There was no coordinated training at all, not even basic infantry-tank combined tactics. They just relied on the courage and determination of the crew to fight. The already extremely valuable tank unit did not play its due role at all.
In this kind of one-on-one fight, everything was lost. Undoubtedly, this is the tragedy of the whole people in this area.
In this situation, Yang Zhen must not be allowed to appear in his army. Three months of combined training is a bit tight, but it is also a helpless choice. The development of the situation will not give him too much time.
Yang Zhen looked at the silent Sun San, shook his head and turned to Yuan Bin and said: "Old Yuan, what I said to Old Sun also applies to your aviation force. Aviation tactics must be flexible and changeable, and more attention must be paid to overall cooperation in combat, and
You cannot fight alone. You must formulate a set of effective techniques and tactics based on the performance of the Type 97 and Type 95 fighter jets that the Japanese Kwantung Army currently fights, and the performance of our aircraft."
"You also don't have much time. Although you are used as seeds, you still have to go to the battlefield. There are many things that can only be truly understood by personal experience. You have now completed the basic training, and you will be ready soon
It’s time to actually get into fighter jets and bombers.”
"I still know a little bit about air force tactics. The Soviet army is still using three-aircraft formations to fight, but this tactic has lagged behind. Two-aircraft formations, with the aircraft fleet arranged in a trapezoidal configuration, are the development direction of future air combat. You must use actual combat
To carry out training according to your requirements. I will ask Jiangbei to select excellent pilots to cooperate with you in combat training."
"Also, our aircraft cannot match the Japanese army in terms of quantity, and perhaps their performance cannot match them. But how to win in an air battle, we still need to think carefully. Altitude, speed, maneuverability, and firepower, I think are necessary to win in an air battle.
Factors: occupy height, dive attack, and escape quickly.
"Find the weakest point of the Japanese aircraft, take advantage of the speed of the dive, and the first bullet will go to them. After hitting, don't fight with them, use the maximum speed to get away quickly."
"The Japanese military's aircraft manufacturing level is backward. Most aircraft fuel tanks are not self-sealing, and almost all aircraft are not equipped with protective armor to maintain maneuverability. You can use tactics based on this characteristic of the Japanese military. Your pilots must be on the first
It can hit their fuel tanks and their cockpits at once."
"Of course combat also requires training. Isn't it nonsense that a fighter pilot can't engage in air combat? But in air combat, we must pay attention to the strengths and avoid weaknesses, and the mutual cooperation between the lead aircraft and the wingman. You and Fang Ziyi are both from the old Red Army and have experienced the anti-encirclement and suppression war.
, Long March, and even many people have experienced the severe test of the Western Route Army. They learned the aviation technology in Xinjiang after narrowly escaping death."
"Since you are all from the old Red Army, I think you are all good at guerrilla warfare. Think about it, can we apply our guerrilla tactics to air combat? Our ground guerrilla warfare has achieved many victories in which the weak defeated the strong. Can we
Can we also gain this kind of advantage in the air, which also faces powerful enemies?”
Yuan Bin quickly recorded these words of Yang Zhen on paper while thinking about it. After a long time, he said: "Commander, the personnel we transferred out have good foundations. Many of them are graduates of the Puppet Manchukuo Junior High School.
, and many of them are even company platoon cadres. Everyone is working hard and making rapid progress. They have completed basic flight training in just a few months, and most of them have accumulated more than thirty hours of flying time."
"Our training is so intense that even the Soviet flight instructors who lead the flight are overwhelmed. But we have not yet entered the air combat tactics training. What you said, we will take it into consideration in the next step of air combat tactics training. But Commander
Members, none of us have personally flown Japanese aircraft, let alone fought against them, so we don’t know much about their actual flight performance.”
"However, on the airfield here there are two relatively complete wrecks of the Type 97 fighter jets that were shot down behind the Soviet positions by the Japanese during the Battle of Nomenhan. However, the Soviets locked them in the warehouse and did not allow us to get close. If we want to analyze
They are relatively weak there and have to communicate with the Soviet army."
"The old-fashioned bi-wing Type 95 fighter jets of the Japanese army have gradually begun to be phased out. Now the Japanese Army Air Force has replaced a large number of Type 97 monoplane fighters. As far as we know from the Soviet army, the maximum level flight speed of this type of fighter is the same as that of the main Soviet army.
The I-Sixteen fighter jets used are similar, but their maneuverability is much higher than the I-Sixteen fighter jets."
"But our understanding of this kind of fighter is limited to this. We asked the Soviet army several times about their experience against this kind of Japanese fighter in the Battle of Nomonhan, but they kept silent and never disclosed it to us.
Just a few words. Commander, I still have to rely on you to communicate on this matter."
"If we really go to the battlefield and use our old aircraft to engage in air combat with the extremely maneuverable Type 97 fighter jets. In addition, we fledgling pilots lack actual combat experience, we are seeking death. Fighting with such fighter jets, we
The situation we face is that we can’t run and we can’t fight, and we can’t fight and fight.”
"Commander, even if they follow the one-shot escape tactics you mentioned, we at least need to know all of their capabilities. At least the flight altitude and horizontal flight speed, we don't know anything about them right now.
Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "We can't count on them for this matter. The combat performance of Japanese fighter jets is generally relatively high, which is an indisputable fact. And we are indeed old aircraft. As for the performance of the aircraft after modifying the Soviet engine, we don't know yet.
But I know that the Soviet Army also had its first contact with this kind of fighter jet. Who did they ask for the experience?"
"In a word, you still have to explore on your own. Use I5 to practice combat tactics, use I16 to simulate their horizontal flight, and then find a way to deal with them. Again, as long as you can combine height, speed,
Combining firepower and maneuverability, this fighter is not invincible."
"It's just that we must find ways to improve the shooting level of moving targets in the air. We must hit accurately, hit hard, and hit with one hit, then we will have a chance to defeat them. This batch of aircraft is for you to adjust.
and exploring tactics. So don’t worry about the service life of the aircraft and try to mature it as much as possible.”
"But you can't just focus on the Japanese Army's Type 97 fighter jets. Don't forget that the Japanese Army has its own research and development capabilities. You should also focus on the new aircraft that may appear in the future. I have two other types of aircraft that the Japanese Army is already testing.
Rough performance. It's just rough performance. You should seize the time to memorize it. Once you are familiar with it, destroy it immediately and don't spread a word about it."
Yuan Bin took the bag handed over by Yang Zhen, took out the information inside and looked at it carefully, then nodded with an extremely solemn expression.
Looking at Yuan Bin and Sun San in front of him, Yang Zhen said solemnly: "You are the seeds, the seeds for us to create our own air force and armored forces, and even more hope. Many tactics in the Soviet army are quite rigid and not suitable for us.
The current situation, and the situation that restricts us in many aspects, so we can rely on you to explore many things from scratch."
"I hope you can shoulder this heavy responsibility, not let down the hopes of tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, and lay a good foundation for our future development. Remember, you are our hope to catch up with the world?"
