Chapter 80 Front Triangular Formation

Tian Daibugong always thought that he had made a mistake. He still didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army would have chariots, and he just thought that some careless gunner treated them as enemies.

It was not until Tian Dai ran up the artillery tower and looked out through the shooting hole and saw tanks slowly driving up along the highway, followed by a group of Eighth Route Army in gray uniforms that he had to believe this fact.

"Master Master!" A squadron leader ran up and asked in panic: "What should we do? The Eighth Route Army... has many tanks!"

"Bastard!" Tian Daibugong cursed loudly: "What else can I do? Stop them! Organize a blasting team to blow up all these tanks!"

"Yes!" The squadron leader responded and ran back to the army to command.

However, the squadron leader had no idea how to fight this battle.

In fact, not only the squadron leader didn’t know, but even the captain Tian Daibugong didn’t know.

In the past, the Chinese army did have tanks, but they were extremely rare and did not know how to cooperate with the trunk tanks. Of course, it didn't take much effort to deal with such tanks.

Anda's 23rd Division landed in Shanghai in the late stage of the Songhu War. When they embarked on this land, the Chinese tank troops had almost been wiped out.

Therefore, the 37th Division never dealt with tanks.

In fact, the Japanese are not only in the Chinese battlefield. When facing the Eagle Sauce tanks on the Pacific battlefield, their anti-tank method is still to launch suicide blasts with cluster grenades. If there is any improvement in the future, it will be a kind of magnetic thunder and thunder.

So the battle turned into a massacre.

The ones rushing to the front were ten tanks in the first company, and Longfengping could only accommodate ten tanks.

These tanks are in groups of three, and the three groups are arranged in front of the Japanese artillery tower and bunker in front of the Japanese artillery tower. The tank at the front is only more than twenty meters away from the Japanese artillery tower.

The reason why the front triangle is used instead of the back triangle is because Wang Xuexin believes that the easier it seems, the more careful the battle is. Moreover, this is the first time that the Eighth Route Army tank troops have been put into actual combat, and they are not very familiar with the coordination, so they use a more stable front triangle formation.

The characteristic of the front triangle is that the two wings are very strong and cannot be easily broken through...

For example, the tank in the front line is placed in the three-three formation, two tanks are placed behind one left and one right.

If the Japanese infantry wants to approach the tanks in front from the flank dead corner, they will expose themselves to the two tanks in the rear.

If the Japanese go back further, hoping to attack the flanks of the two tanks behind them... they will inevitably expose themselves to the firepower of another group of tanks.

In short, when using the "front triangle" formation, almost all tanks' flanks are safe, and each tank only needs to pay attention to its target directly in front of it and eliminate it when fighting.

If there are any tanks that are not safe enough on the flanks, they are the two tanks on the outermost side of the last row.

But these two tanks are far away from the Japanese, and the Japanese must pass through batches of firepower of following infantry to reach them.

On the contrary, if an inverted triangle formation is used, although the firepower in front is stronger, the two tanks without flanking cover will be sent to the Japanese to give the enemy a chance to destroy them.

There is no need for Wang Xuexin to be anxious. He believes that this battle will not take too much time, and the kingly way is to fight steadily.

Using the tank troops with the former triangular formation, as long as you protect yourself, you can form an advantage of "I can fight the enemy but the enemy cannot fight me".

For example, what was happening on the battlefield at this time, the Eighth Route Army's tank guns bombarded the Japanese gun tower one after another. Although the Japanese were still gunfire, they were helpless with the tanks.

With a "boom", the 101 car fired a grenade at the artillery tower again. The artillery tower immediately flew across the rocks, causing the Japanese to scream.

The first number of “101” represents a company, and the last two digits represent the tank number, so I knew it was a company number.

The 101 car is a bit special. It goes forward instead of aiming at the shooting hole of the artillery tower, but fires the cannon according to the wall of the artillery tower, and specializes in shooting.

Later, Wang Xuexin learned that the leader of Car No. 101 was a bricklayer and was arrested by the Japanese to repair the artillery tower. He worked for a full year before he sneaked out.

After the war, he explained: "We don't have many shells, so we can't afford to waste it! When will this shot be fired to clean the Japanese in the first artillery tower? Isn't it over to collapse the artillery tower?"

Sure enough, there were only three shells. When the 101 car was loaded with the fourth shell and turned the turret to aim, the tower slowly tilted, then it became faster and faster, and finally collapsed with a "boom".

The towering artillery tower just now turned into a pile of dust and ruins in a blink of an eye. There were countless Japanese who were crushed to death and buried alive inside and outside the artillery tower, and there were many Japanese who were injured by gravel around screaming.

"Boom", another cannon sound, this cannon was fired by Car No. 107.

In each tank company, vehicles "01", "04", and "07" are platoon leaders and team leaders.

These cars have greater autonomy at the forefront of this group.

The two cars in the rear must follow the car in front to provide cover for them, and they are more passive in battle... This is actually the disadvantage of the three-three system, that is, they are not that flexible.

However, in the absence of training, communication, etc., it is necessary to sacrifice some flexibility to achieve the best comprehensive combat effectiveness. After all, there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no tactic that can be formed in a short time and it is all advantages. If so, then countries around the world would have used it together long ago.

Car No. 107 has a better vision because it is in front. It advances more than ten meters to the flank, which makes the triangle formation less square... There is no problem, because as Wang Xuexin said, the three-three system should not be used for the three-three system during combat. As long as you know your tasks in the general direction, you can make changes according to the needs of the battlefield.

When Wang Xuexin saw this scene in the telescope, he secretly praised in his heart. It seemed that the soldiers had learned the essence of the three-three system.

Car No. 107 moves itself to a flat hard ground... Whether it is hard ground is important, otherwise the tank will likely cause the body to be unlevel due to the different depths of the mud. In this case, the gunner will find it difficult to aim at the target.

It was different on the hard ground. After the 107 car stopped, it aimed at a bunker 30 meters away, and then punched the shell from the hole into the bunker with a "boom".

The explosion from the inside to the outside does not look violent from the surface, but flames and blue smoke emerge from the perforations in all directions of the bunker.

But Wang Xuexin knew that the Japanese hiding inside were all over. They fully absorbed the energy of the shell. Even if they were not killed, they would be shocked by the instantly increasing air pressure, and the death meeting was very ugly.
