Who taught you to be a soldier like this!

Chapter 459 Speed ​​is justice, caliber is truth! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]

Since returning to campus life, Zhao Weihong has resigned from a series of positions including athlete image ambassador, captain of the school spirit inspection team, instructor of the new training brigade, etc., and has devoted herself to her studies.

After a long time, the new students only knew that Zhao Weihong was a legend of USTC and a living monument.

However, few people know that Zhao Weihong was once an instructor capable of teaching all students majoring in conducting!
At this moment.

Standing in front of the whiteboard with a marker pen in hand, Zhao Weihong regained the feeling of standing on the three-foot podium.

The aura that burst out from him made everyone present look at him sideways!
Zhao Weihong simply stood there, which was the best interpretation of the saying "A man of culture is naturally elegant"!

Academician Miao and others put away the admiration or approval on their faces, and instead showed the seriousness and solemnity that were often worn by the masters of their generation, appearing very formal!

They were not showing respect to Zhao Weihong.

Instead, it was an expression of respect for the knowledge revealed in Zhao Weihong's words!
From this moment on, the nature of this conversation changed from the elders’ testing and scrutiny of the younger generation to an exchange and collision of ideas between “like-minded people”!

"Wei Hong, are you sure you didn't write it wrong?"

After a brief silence, Xie Guoliang, who had the highest attainments in army military thought theory among the crowd, took the lead in asking questions to Zhao Weihong.

"Artillery and tank coordination. Do you mean the coordination of infantry, tanks and artillery?"

There is only one word difference between infantry-tank-artillery coordination and artillery-tank coordination.

But the former is already a fairly mature set of army tactics, and has existed since equipment such as tanks appeared on the battlefield.

This set of tactics eventually developed into the Yan State Army's signature skill. Relying on the precise coordination between the various arms, it was invincible on the battlefield. It was a direct manifestation of the "infantry-tank coordination" tactics developed to the highest level.

As an old tactic that has been around for a long time, the infantry-tank-artillery coordinated tactics have become very mature in terms of both tactics and ideas. Xie Guoliang, who is asking questions to Zhao Weihong at this moment, is a master in this field.

But Zhao Weihong had already made it very clear just now.

This is a brand new combat method he deduced, but it is temporarily named the gun-tank coordinated tactics.

Compared with the traditional infantry-tank-artillery coordinated tactics, it can be said that there are earth-shaking differences!
"of course not!"

Facing the questions raised by Xie Guoliang, Zhao Weihong smiled, exuding a calm confidence.

"From a certain perspective, my combat method can also be regarded as a new infantry-tank-artillery coordinated tactic."

"And I want to emphasize that the traditional infantry-tank-artillery coordinated tactics can no longer meet the combat needs of informationized troops. Changes must be made!"

At this time, Zhao Weihong was determined to make shocking remarks.

The conversation has just begun.

Zhao Weihong questioned, no, he completely denied the traditional infantry-tank-artillery coordinated tactics in front of everyone present. He was so audacious!

Academician Miao and others did not rush to reprimand Zhao Weihong for his "arrogance", but instead focused their attention and prepared to listen to Zhao Weihong's next views.

Yan Wenyuan and Xie Guoliang had sufficient understanding of Zhao Weihong's knowledge and knew that Zhao Weihong was not a person who would talk nonsense.

Academician Miao and others knew clearly that a lunatic who was full of empty words would never be recognized by Xie Guoliang, let alone become his last disciple.

Therefore, no matter how shocking Zhao Weihong's ideas and concepts are, they will give him the greatest patience and respect!
And Zhao Weihong will also use practical actions to prove that Xie Guoliang was definitely not wrong about him!

"The most important and core link of the coordination between infantry, artillery and tanks is reflected in the infantry."

As he spoke, Zhao Weihong picked up a pen and wrote the words "infantry, artillery and tank coordination" on the whiteboard, and then drew a big circle on the word "infantry".

"Whether it is attacking or defending, artillery and tank units only play supporting roles."

"The ultimate goal of all tactical moves and attempts is to provide cover for the infantry."

"In traditional ground warfare, infantry can become the core of infantry-artillery-tank coordinated tactics with its flexibility and comprehensive advantages, and determine the outcome of the battlefield."

"But in information warfare, infantry, especially foot infantry, can never become the core on the battlefield."

"The existing infantry-tank-artillery coordinated tactics, which are centered on infantry, have seriously violated the most important factor of information warfare, and are also the biggest difference between information warfare and traditional warfare."

“That’s speed!”

After this period of sedimentation.

Zhao Weihong already has a sense of "returning to basics", and his research on informationized warfare has reached a new level.

speed.

The word "simple" directly points to the essence of information warfare.

The viewpoint that Zhao Weihong subsequently put forward gave a precise and vivid explanation of the essence of this principle which is close to “the great way is simple”!
"Spot the enemy first, fire first, and hit first!"

"This so-called three-first principle is the goal pursued by informationized warfare, and it is also the most intuitive manifestation of the essence of informationized warfare in actual combat!"

"And in order to achieve this, all tactics and strategies centered on infantry on foot will be impossible to implement!"

The words fell.

Everyone in the house was shocked!

"Spot the enemy first. Fire first. Hit the enemy first!?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xie Guoliang kept repeating the "three first principles" first proposed by Zhao Weihong. The more he savored it, the more he found it delicious!

The three consecutive "yes" that followed fully revealed his excitement at the moment and his approval of Zhao Weihong's ideas!

once Upon a time.

The Yan Kingdom, relying on its unique light infantry and extremely backward weapons and equipment, thwarted the ambitions of the Eagle Sauce. While severely striking a blow to its arrogance, it established the reputation of "the world's first light infantry" in one fell swoop!
The next few decades.

Light infantry has always been the focus of Yan State's construction.

Even in the jungle, the monkeys that tortured Eagle Sauce to such an extent were no match for Yan Country in a battle of light infantry!
What a glorious era this is!
But with the development of modern weapons and equipment, the gap between flesh and blood and steel has become an unimaginable distance!

Although the core factor that determines the outcome of a war is still people.

This will never change.

But if we still expect light infantry to use limited firepower to fight against the enemy's iron torrent on the information battlefield, it will undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a stone!

However, this does not mean that the era of light infantry is over.

In Zhao Weihong's vision, Yan State's unique light infantry will be combined with the information equipment of the new era to bring despairing destruction to all those clowns who dare to covet Yan State!
"The 'tank' in my artillery-tank coordinated tactics does not refer to tank units."

"It's an armored force that combines tank units and mechanized infantry!"

"The primary task of the armored forces is to tear open a gap in the enemy's position and make a bold penetration."

"At the same time, the traditional tactical task of scouts providing guidance to artillery units should also be changed to be completed by armored units." "And there should be close cooperation between the two. Wherever the armored units attack, the artillery shells should hit there!"

Having said that, Zhao Weihong finally pointed to the first few data on the whiteboard.

"In the event of effective resistance, the theoretical maximum assault speed of the armored forces is fifty kilometers per hour."

"And the PLZ-05 self-propelled artillery is capable of carrying out precise strikes against enemies within kilometers!"

"Even though the caliber is relatively small, the PLZ-89 122mm self-propelled howitzer, as a second-generation artillery, has the ability to carry out precise strikes against enemies within kilometers."

"And this means that our army's existing weapons and equipment are sufficient to form an impenetrable fire net during the armored forces' assault and destroy all hostile targets that hinder the armored forces' assault!"

Speaking of it.

Everyone present basically understood what Zhao Weihong meant.

In his conception, the mission and only mission of the armored forces is to charge forward, charge forward, and charge forward again!
Use absolute speed, start from one point and spread to the whole area, and eventually tear apart the enemy's entire defense line!

During this process, the artillery units in the rear will provide all-round support to the armored units in the assault state, minimize the obstacles and combat links encountered by the armored units in the assault, and always maintain the maximum assault speed!

The enemy wants to delay the armored forces' attack?

Yes! First, find a way to survive the PLZ-05 155mm shells!
At this point, Zhao Weihong's preliminary explanation of the "gun-tank coordination" theory has been basically completed.

At first glance, Zhao Weihong's tactics seem very "simple."

Isn’t it still the same old routine of “artillery bombards, infantry charges, and then artillery bombards”?

It's nothing more than replacing infantry with armored troops. It doesn't seem to be anything special, right?
If this were true, Zhao Weihong would not have brought out this theory and shown it to Xie Guoliang and others!

All the classic and sophisticated tactics and strategies seem very simple when written down on paper. Even a layman who knows nothing about military affairs can see some of the tricks and even analyze them seriously.

Blitzkrieg is a living example.

But in order to implement this seemingly "ordinary" tactic on the battlefield, the preparation that needs to be made is what "insiders" like Xie Guoliang really value!

"Provide precise firepower reinforcement to armored forces in assault mode."

Xie Guoliang silently recited the core elements of Zhao Weihong's tactics, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously lost in thought!
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.

In addition to fixed targets such as fortresses and obstacles, "moving targets" such as enemy armored forces can also pose a threat to assault troops!

Even if it is a cannonball, it will take a while to fly at a distance of dozens of kilometers.

This means that after the shells hit the ground, the position of these "moving targets" is likely to have changed, so the shells will naturally hit empty space.

The worst result is that their own armored forces moved to the target's previous position due to pursuit and caught the artillery shell that had just landed!
"This requires too much coordination between the armored forces and the artillery!"

"Yes."

Faced with Xie Guoliang's emotion, Zhao Weihong did not look embarrassed at all and continued to express himself calmly.

"That's why I say this is a set of tactics that can only be used in an information-based context."

"Relying on the data link, the armored forces in the front can transmit the enemy situation information in front to the artillery units in real time, so that the artillery units can determine the targets that need to be attacked."

"And the artillery unit needs to respond to the information sent back as quickly as possible and counterattack the enemy."

"And because the entire combat process was in an assault state."

"Whether it is the armored forces or the artillery forces, the battlefield situation they will face will be much more complicated than the traditional positional attack and defense battles in the past."

As he spoke, Zhao Weihong began to count for Xie Guoliang by counting with his fingers.

"If the enemy has an air force, the air defense force must also be included in the coordination of this tactic."

"If this is the case, this set of tactics cannot be called a tactic, but should be called a system."

"It is a combat system of ground information forces in the new era."

Facing Xie Guoliang's suddenly widened eyes, Zhao Weihong continued speaking calmly.

"In order to ensure the effectiveness of the strike, the main force of the artillery must be heavy artillery such as PLZ-05."

"And the core of the entire tactic is the artillery unit in the rear."

"To this end, the traditional way in which frontline troops contact the command post and the command post issues tasks and combat orders to the artillery units must also be changed."

"Skip the middle link and have the front-line assault force connect directly with the artillery unit!"

"And the reaction speed of the artillery is also improved. It is best to obtain the firing parameters and make adjustments within a few seconds of receiving the data, and then launch a strike on the target."

"and many more!"

"what did you just say?"

"Say it again!"

Before Zhao Weihong could finish her words, she was interrupted by Academician Miao in a hurry, and his tone was very urgent!

Seeing Academician Miao suddenly become a different person, Zhao Weihong was slightly surprised, but she was still very obedient and repeated the conclusion she had just reached.

"React quickly and strike quickly. Connect directly with the frontline troops."

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"That's right! This should be the future direction of artillery development!"

The original Academician Miao gradually drifted away along the traditional path.

He has been obsessed with how to fire artillery farther, more accurately and with greater power throughout his life.

But Zhao Weihong's word "speed" gave Academician Miao a completely new direction.

Artillery units in the context of information warfare should be like this! It should be like this!
In particular, the "three firsts principle" of "discover the enemy first, fire first, and hit the enemy first" can almost be regarded as the guiding principle for the construction of artillery units!

This also points out the direction for Academician Miao to develop a new generation of self-propelled artillery!

All of a sudden, Academician Miao, who was in ecstasy, looked at Zhao Weihong with increasingly fiery eyes!
"Weihong, Comrade Zhao Weihong!"

"On behalf of the Ordnance Industry Group, I extend an invitation to you."

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Academician Miao had just said half of his words when Xie Guoliang on the side suddenly turned hostile.

"This is my student!"
