Chapter 801 New Three-Three System
The overall food level of the Han tribe is pretty good. At least the people can eat enough and often have meat, thanks to the farmed rabbits and sheep. Of course, the black and white pigs of the Han tribe are also gradually being promoted, but the castration technology has not yet been popularized, and there are not many kinds of vegetables, but at least there is something to eat.
However, such a level of food can only be achieved in the eight old counties of the Han tribe. Other places are more or less worse because of their late development.
The quality of food directly affects people's eyesight, so the firearms unit, which has extremely high requirements for eyesight, can only be recruited in the eight counties of Hanyang.
While playing with the rifle in his hand, Luo Chong thought about the formation of firearms, the source of soldiers, the selection criteria, and the organization of the army.
The existing military system of the Han tribe is not suitable for a firearms unit, so it needs to be reformed.
The surrounding guards saw the leader's stunt of hitting three out of five in 500 meters, and their interest in rifles suddenly increased. Those holding rifles also began to try to shoot at distant targets.
Qubing came late, still holding a shotgun in his hand. Seeing that Luo Chong was holding a rifle but didn't use it, he was still in a daze, so he wanted to go to Luo Chong to ask for it, but was stopped by Luo Chong's personal guard leader.
Qubing looked at him puzzled, and the personal guard leader said, "The leader is thinking about something, don't go over to disturb him."
Qubing then said "oh", unwillingly moved to the side of others to watch them shoot rifles.
These personal guards who often follow Luo Chong know that the leader will think about problems from time to time, so they are used to this kind of situation.
At this time, Luo Chong is still analyzing which military system is suitable for this firearms army to be formed.
The military system is still very particular. Simply put, it is determined according to the different equipment and weapons, and the different tactics used, followed by command considerations.
Just like the three-three system used in the early days of the founding of our country, the standard infantry squad is nine people per squad, pursuing the tactical goal of firepower first. At that time, the country already had the ability to produce weapons and ammunition by itself, so firepower first is really not a joke.
The nine people in a squad are divided into three combat groups, each with three people, which is the origin of the three-three system. There is one squad leader, one deputy squad leader, and one light machine gunner. In wartime, the three groups are led by the squad leader, the deputy squad leader, and the machine gunner. The squad leader and the deputy squad leader are equipped with a Type 56 submachine gun to achieve fire suppression, that is, the domestic AK47. The other two members of the group use a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle as a precision shooter. The machine gun group is equipped with a light machine gun, and the two members also use a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.
During combat, the three groups provide mutual fire cover, and the distance is very wide. Nine people are a combat group. A squad can control a full 800-meter front line. The entire battlefield looks sparse. Such a tactical group is very flexible and will not allow soldiers to be too concentrated and be focused on by enemy artillery fire.
This set of tactics has been popular since the founding of the People's Republic of China. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the three-three system was used to the extreme. Therefore, some of the so-called PLA human sea tactics reported abroad are nonsense.
The most brilliant achievement of the three-three system was during the counterattack against India. One of the three-person teams lost contact with the main force. The three people, led by one of the squad leaders, went 7.5 kilometers deep into the Indian army's rear, fought five battles in a row, and successively eliminated three Indian artillery positions, defeated two artillery regiments, seized seven artillery pieces, two vehicles, and countless long and short guns.
Such an incredible record was not even dared to be written in novels, but it really happened.
However, the enemies and situations faced by the Han tribe were different from those at that time. The reason why Luo Chong formed a firearms unit was to use them to deal with cannibals to a large extent. The giant apes among them were extremely powerful individuals, so this sparse three-three system was not suitable for the Han tribe, and the Han tribe did not have powerful automatic weapons, which was different from the situation of the People's Liberation Army at that time.
The best weapon to deal with giant apes is of course a spray gun, but the spray gun can only be used in close combat. At this time, the rifle becomes a supplement, but how many people are there in a squad, how many use spray guns and how many rifles, this ratio still needs to be well matched.
Luo Chong pondered for a long time, and finally slapped his forehead and laughed. He was not going to form a modern army of hundreds of thousands. The total number was only about three or four thousand people, so there was no need to stipulate that each person had only one weapon. The Han tribe could use the entire tribe's industrial capacity to supply three or four thousand people, which was more than enough.
So in the end, Luo Chong still chose the three-three system tactic of nine people in a squad, but different from the tactical standard of pursuing firepower and reducing casualties, although Luo Chong also divided the nine people into three groups, they had different tactical purposes.
His idea was that one person was equipped with a shotgun as the main weapon and was responsible for "rushing" in the front, because the shotgun was only effective at close range, so it was necessary to be close enough to the enemy. The other two people in the same group used rifles as precision shooters to set up the guns for the shotgunners in front, provide long-range precision firepower cover, and provide the shotgunners with the opportunity to change bullets.
Two people holding guns to cover one assaulter can provide continuous firepower. The two precision shooters can also shoot alternately, one person shooting while the other reloads, and then repeatedly alternate, so that the assaulter in front is always protected in the rear. Even if the shotgun is used up, there is enough time to find a cover to reload.
At the same time, the three assaulters in the front rush forward in a triangle formation, and the three people keep a distance of 50 meters from each other. This distance is still within the range of the shotgun, so no matter which of the three people suddenly appears in danger, the other two assaulters can focus on the target.
The number of giant apes is not large. If this tactic is used, then no matter which person in the assault team has a giant ape next to him, he will immediately be hit by three high-powered shotgun shells. In this way, no matter how strong its body is, it will fall on the spot, not to mention that the shotgun of the Han tribe can almost fire continuously, after all, each loading time is less than one second.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the precision shooters at the rear also have the ability to suddenly encounter close combat, Luo Chong will equip them with rifles and a short-barreled three-shot spray gun as a supplement to close combat firepower.
After all, when it comes to face-to-face melee, it is really inconvenient to hold a 1.65-meter-long rifle.
At the same time, in order to make up for the long-range combat capabilities of the assaulters at the front, they also have to equip each person with a rifle. In other words, each member of the firearms army of the Han tribe must be equipped with two weapons, but the configuration of the main and secondary weapons will be slightly different.
