Chapter 337 Tactical Arrangements
Not long after leaving Longcang Village, the Hecheng Battalion's van quickly arrived at Maipi Town.
Compared to the bustling central area of the Xishui District, the road conditions connecting these towns are relatively good.
There are very few cases of traffic jams caused by accident vehicles. Even if there are, the Type 99A main battle tank is able to clear the obstacle in one second, and the impact on the overall marching speed of the convoy is almost negligible.
Maipi Town is much smaller than Qinghe Town, but it is not a small town either. According to data, the total population of Maipi Town is 80,000, and about 50,000 of them live on the streets of the town.
After the convoys of the Combined Battalion arrived at Maipi Town one after another, Jia Sanniu did not order a battle immediately, but chose an open area slightly away from the town to assemble the troops.
We plan to hold a simple pre-war meeting in the temporary battalion command post, arrange the tactics, and then start the battle!
With the previous battle example of Qinghe Town, although Maipi Town at the moment is not a big deal, it is not something that can be attacked rashly.
War is a great evil!
In this regard, Jia Sanniu had to be cautious!
.....
Lu Chong sat in the passenger seat with his legs apart and relaxed. The slight bumps in the car did not affect the stability of the tablet in his hand at all.
On the 12.7-inch screen was an enlarged map of Jiuan Township. Lu Chong had been studying this map all the way.
He is now facing the same hurdle that Jia Sanniu had climbed before...
This was my first time commanding a battalion-level unit in combat. It would be a lie to say that I was confident. I was still a little nervous.
Looking at the map is the way Lu Chong uses to relieve his emotions.
The density of zombies is positively correlated with the administrative planning before the apocalypse
Compared to Maipi Town where zombies are more concentrated, the distribution of zombies in Jiuan Township is relatively loose, because it is under the jurisdiction of villages or village-level streets.
Jiuan Township has a total population of more than 40,000 people, and Pingjie, the largest township, has a population of less than 10,000...
Lu Chong also couldn't figure out whether the Operations Department did it on purpose when they were making the plan, and specially made a novice map for him...
Anyway...
That’s pretty good!
After Lu Chong's research, he was completely relaxed.
A bunch of chickens and dogs, nothing to be afraid of!
He had already thought of the tactical arrangements in his mind, which was to divide the troops and carry out a sweep!
The density of zombies in Jiuan Township forced him to divide his troops. After all, it was impossible to use a combined battalion to fight thousands of zombies, right?
Even the stupid son of a landlord can't be so rich
What's more, even among brother units, there are comparisons when performing tasks.
The Combined Battalion 1 and 2 recovered township-level administrative units. Although they had to be faster than the Combined Battalion 1 in their first battle, at least they couldn’t be much slower!
Otherwise, where would we and the Second Combined Battalion put our faces?
How can I have the face to report to the chief?
Lu Chong already had a plan in his mind regarding the battle arrangements later!
In order to achieve steady progress, light and heavy weapons must be coordinated!
Lu Chong and others plan to adopt infantry-tank coordinated tactics!
A separate combat unit consists of an infantry company and a 99A main battle tank company.
This not only makes up for the shortcomings of insufficient heavy infantry firepower, but also makes up for the lack of flexibility of heavy armored units. It can be said to be quite reasonable!
In this way, by combining two of them, two independent combat units can be formed, plus an armored infantry company that combines both, a total of three independent combat units.
You can choose to occupy the central area of Jiuan Township, establish a battalion command post, and be responsible for coordinating the overall situation and logistics supply.
As for its application in artillery companies, Lu Chong does not plan to establish a fixed artillery position this time, but to give full play to the flexibility of the Type 05 120mm self-propelled mortar!
Let the artillery company follow the map!
Launch a round of artillery bombardment on those villages with a larger population first, assist the infantry and armored forces in the attack, reduce the pressure of the attack and speed up the recovery process!
Zizzi~
Didi didi! !
Just as Lu Chong was outlining the battle plan, the internal communicator in the Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle suddenly rang.
"Report to the battalion commander, our battalion command vehicle has been connected to the command network! It should be the communication node vehicle on the battalion commander's side that has started working!"
Each combined battalion is equipped with a node vehicle, whose function has been introduced before, connecting the communication network and building information interaction capabilities with full-domain perception!
The radiation range of a single communication node vehicle is fifty kilometers!
.....
Because Jia Sanniu's Combined Battalion 1 arrived at Maipi Town first, they had already completed the construction of a temporary command post and troop assembly while Lu Chong's Combined Battalion 2 was still rushing towards the target point.
The battalion command center is located in a dry farmland and consists of a series of logistics support vehicles, including the battalion command vehicle and communication node vehicle.
Hundreds of various types of logistics support vehicles painted in digital jungle camouflage are parked neatly in the farmland.
The autumn and winter camouflage nets covering the spaces between the cars have turned the scene into a giant honeycomb!
Under the khaki camouflage net, teams of elite soldiers went in and out like busy worker ants in a beehive.
So far, the work of retaking Maipi Town is going smoothly!
