Chapter 1904 The Peak of Light Infantry
"What kind of offensive formation is this?"
Not only Patton, but also the several US military staff behind him were stunned.
As far as they know, whether it is the national army, the Japanese army, the German army or the Soviet army, they basically rushed forward when launching an attack, and the attack of a company is the rush forward by a company.
The attack of a battalion is the rush of a battalion.
A regiment's attack is a regiment's rush forward.
During the charge, there was nothing else except to open the scattered line.
But this is not the case with the 1st Airborne Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
The 1st Airborne Division's attack has strict formations and triangular formations.
Three people form an attack team, and three attack teams form an attack sequence.
Then more than a dozen attack sequences were arranged in front of the A regiment, and less than a hundred people pulled out a width of several hundred meters. They had never seen such an attacking path before.
"What kind of offensive formation is this?" Patton was stunned.
Wang Yanxin was cold, what kind of offensive formation is this?
This is the three-three system offensive formation, the offensive formation of the peak light infantry!
Patton kept adjusting the focal length, trying to ingest the entire battlefield into the field of view of the telescope.
But this is futile, because the Expeditionary Army soldiers who appeared in his vision at the same time would never exceed nine, that is, at most three combat groups at the same time.
Each group has three people, and they are very skillful in tactical cooperation with each other.
Before one person advances, the other person will definitely make a feint to attract the A group of fire, while the other person in the group will provide fire support from the rear.
The machine gun firepower of the A regiment is often lost in one's eyes.
Even if the reaction is timely, it often requires hundreds or even thousands of bullets to "stack" a Chinese soldier.
Patton saw through the telescope that the Bronning heavy machine gun on the front of the A regiment was already smoking, and then the two Chinese soldiers were forced to withdraw from the exercise.
...
It is by no means a lucky chance that the Volunteer Army is called the pinnacle of light infantry.
The three-three offensive tactics are called the peak of light infantry tactics, and they are by no means fake.
After the 1st Airborne Division of the Expeditionary Force launched the three-three-system tactics, the A-sponsored the US Army quickly could not resist it.
In less than two hours, the three main regiments of the 1st Airborne Division broke into the A regiment position almost at the same time. The commander of the A regiment was forced to raise a white flag to surrender to the national army.
However, at this time, the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army was still confronting the 1st Regiment of the National Army.
The confrontation exercise officially ended with a long horn sound.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force achieved a complete victory in this exercise, and the US military suffered an unprecedented defeat.
After the exercise, there will be tactical comments as usual, and British generals did not participate in the comments as usual.
US military officers such as Li Qiwei, Taylor, Smith, and senior generals such as Patton were present, but they were all a little dejected and in a low mood.
"Young guys, be more energetic." Patton clapped his hands and said loudly, "You should be happy! You should be even more grateful that this is just an exercise, not a real battle!"
"Otherwise, what you lost is not just a military uniform, but your life!"
"In addition, you have also seen the tactics of the Chinese brothers. Now you should understand why the Japanese army was defeated by the Chinese Expeditionary Force?"
"So, there's nothing to be discouraged."
"Take your spirit and learn from our Chinese brothers humbly."
"Then, use the skills learned from the Chinese brothers to the Germans, then defeat the Germans, liberate the whole of Europe, and then return to China and take a vacation."
"Things are that simple, Oukai?"
"Oh!" The US military officer finally got a little bit of energy, not as deep as before.
Then Patton said to Zhong Yi: "General Zhong, then let's start? You talk first."
Zhong Yi nodded and said loudly: "Although our Chinese Expeditionary Force won this confrontation exercise, to be honest, it is not easy for us to win."
"The US military has also shown strong combat power."
"Especially, the construction of defensive positions, the use of firepower and the proficiency of weapons are all better than our army."
As usual, Zhong Yi praised the US military strongly. Anyway, he didn't have to pay taxes when he said good things and just talked, but he could make everyone happy. Why not do it?
But the problem is still to be found.
Otherwise Patton would not agree.
At this moment, Zhong Yi said again: "The biggest shortcoming or weakness of the US military is lack of practical experience."
"Most of the US military officers and soldiers have not participated in real actual combat, so when dealing with various situations, they will inevitably be at a loss and be in a hurry."
"But that's not a problem."
"As long as you fight a few battles, you can make up for these shortcomings."
"The US military will definitely become a powerful army by then."
Patton was obviously not satisfied with Zhong Yi's comments, and he felt that Zhong Yi was too perfunctory.
But now Patton is more concerned about another issue, so he is too lazy to say more.
The program soon entered the US military commentary, and Patton asked: "General Zhong, I want to know what the offensive tactics adopted by the 1st Airborne Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were in the exercise?"
Zhong Yi said: "This is a three-three-system tactic."
The three-three tactics are not a secret.
This tactic was born out of the War of Resistance and developed in the War of Liberation, and finally matured in the Korean War and formed a system.
The fact that cannot be questioned is that the three-three system tactics are the peak of light infantry tactics, and they are the peak, no doubt about it!
However, the US military will never learn the three-three tactics. The reason is very simple, because the US military is not a light infantry, but a heavy infantry! It is a mechanized infantry, or even an informatized infantry.
So Zhong Yi was not afraid that the American soldiers would learn the three-three tactics, and it would be useless if they learned it.
What did you say? After the US military has learned the three-three system tactics, it can make targeted cracks? One day, once the Korean War breaks out again, the volunteers may suffer a great loss?
Nonsense! In this time and space, let alone whether the Korean War is still possible.
Even if the Korean War broke out, the three-three tactics were completely unsolvable.
The three-three tactics are not the secret of martial arts, so they need to be kept secret. When the three-three tactics launch an attack, the attack formation is placed there, and the enemy is clearly visible!
In a word, the peak light infantry tactics require peak light infantry to be used.
Even if other companies have learned the three-three system tactics, they cannot use it. Forced use can only be a tiger but a dog.
So Zhong Yi is really not afraid that the US military will learn the three-three system tactics, and now he will explain the tactics openly.
