Battalion-level tactics

​​

Lin Rui and actuary Jiang Kishi originally planned to form a basic organization similar to the US Army infantry battalion.

​​

A battalion has roughly 900 people, of which the battalion-level headquarters has 120 people.

​​

It also includes three 190-man infantry companies, a 120-man heavy equipment company, or weapons support company, and a 30-man medical division company.

​​

Among them, the battalion headquarters is equipped with: 8 anti-tank rocket launchers, 3 57mm anti-tank guns, 2 .50 machine guns, and 6 .30 machine guns.

​​

The battalion headquarters are well equipped, and they tend not to engage in head-to-head firefights with the enemy on the front line,

​​

In fact, these equipments are not fixed at the battalion headquarters, but are handed over to the battalion-level commanders for free deployment.

​​

Wherever fire support is needed, these equipment will be brought there, which can also be regarded as a fire preparation behavior.

​​

A battalion has four companies, three standard infantry companies, one weapons support company, and three infantry battalions in one infantry regiment.

​​

The first three infantry companies of the 1st Battalion were numbered abc company, and the weapon support company was numbered d company.

​​

In the same way, the second battalion is numbered efgh, and company h is the weapon support company, and the third battalion is numbered iklm, and company m is the weapon support company.

​​

However, considering the realistic conditions and command capabilities of the northern coalition forces, they had to compromise on many issues.

​​

Therefore, the battalion-level battle group of this northern coalition has incorporated some other new elements.

​​

In the conference room, Lin Rui, the actuary, and Kassan and other senior officers of the Northern Coalition Army were discussing the specific implementation of this battalion-level tactic.

​​

The actuary pointed to the graph on the projector, "First of all, let's assume that the coalition forces are currently attacking a mountain defense line composed of a combination of machine gun bunkers and trenches.

​​

When attacking, we often ask the sharp knife company to conduct the main attack. The sharp knife company is often the first infantry company in each battalion, that is, the first battalion a company or the second battalion e company,

​​

The 2nd Infantry Company is responsible for the secondary attack, and the 3rd Infantry Company is responsible for observation and standby, ready to enter the battlefield as a reserve.

​​

They tend not to dash forward when the sharp knife even fails to attack,

​​

Instead, after the sharp knife company opens the gap, it will dash through the gap, expand the results and accelerate the victory of the battle.

​​

When the sharp knife company rushes to attack, the weapon support company will be placed behind the sharp knife company in order to provide fire support to the teammates who are attacking the tough.

​​

The main offensive and defensive line is often selected in the weakest part of the enemy's defense, and in order to enhance the attack strength of the main offensive area,

​​

The attack width of the main attack direction tends to be narrower than the attack width of the secondary attack direction.

​​

It can be said that the biggest goal of the secondary attack is to stick to the main force of the enemy, so that it cannot mobilize the defensive force on the position at will.

​​

In this way, the coalition forces in the main offensive direction create greater opportunities for breakthroughs.

​​

Therefore, it is conceivable that the company with the most casualties in the coalition infantry battalion is often the second company.

​​

However, if a soldier excels in the second company, he will be transferred to the first company to become a member of the sharp knife company. "

​​

Cassan shook his head, "This is the tactic of the US Army, but now the US military is improving.

​​

Because of this tactic, the 2nd Company, which was responsible for attracting firepower, often suffered heavy losses.

​​

However, the combat level of the U.S. troops has improved, and the tactics of secondary attacks have also been improved.

​​

As the second company to attack changed from simply blocking the enemy to attract firepower, it gradually evolved into a combination of reality and reality, changing another sharp knife of a certain test.

​​

However, they often form a horn attack with the former sharp knife company. When the main attack direction is strongly blocked,

​​

The second company of the secondary attack will become the main attack direction, taking on the responsibility of the sharp knife company to break through the defense line.

​​

I have learned this theory before. "

​​

Lin Rui smiled, "I almost forgot that you had a professional military education, but what I want to emphasize here is,

​​

The company commanders of the coalition companies did not know what their responsibilities and positions in the attack were before the attack was launched.

​​

The company commander of the 2nd company will not be told that his unit is just to attract firepower,

​​

And the company commander of the main attacking company did not know that he would be a sharp knife to break through the defense line.

​​

When issuing an attack order, each battalion commander is not allowed to inform the initial judgment of the main attack and the feint direction, so as not to affect the morale.

​​

Moreover, the battalion commander is ultimately responsible for the failure caused by the misjudgment of the main attack direction due to the application of information that may be wrong.

​​

We must emphasize that each attacking company does not know its own position, and the battalion commander obeys the unified command of the headquarters, and all command rights are in the headquarters. "

​​

"That is to say, our junior officers do not know their exact location.

​​

Is this possible? Americans' tactics are not about distribution, it is best to order directly to each soldier,

​​

Let every soldier know what he is doing? ' asked an Anmore officer.

​​

"Yes, this is what the Americans have been trying, and it is likely to be the trend in the future, but I have to tell you that it is based on having a strong communication command.

​​

The degree of informatization of the Northern Federation is not high enough to form such a fine pattern.

​​

So we adopted a compromise plan, that is, in terms of command, we still adopted the more traditional step-by-step command.

​​

But on this basis, we further strengthen the firepower of each battalion and the individual combat capability of each battalion.

​​

That is to say, each battalion is only responsible for its own operations, and the cooperation with each other is entirely considered by the headquarters.

​​

Orders go directly to each battalion. "Lin Rui explained.

​​

Cassan nodded.

​​

"Next, let's conduct a standard procedure for an infantry battalion attack.

​​

For example, here ~www.wuxiahere.com~ from the direction of the main attack company and the secondary attack company, and launched a ferocious and fierce attack at the same time.

​​

Makes the enemy unable to discover the main attack direction at the first time, and unable to concentrate troops for key defense at the first time.

​​

Under normal circumstances, the sharp knife company in the main attack direction will quickly break through the narrow and weak line of defense with the help of the weapon support company.

​​

Immediately afterwards, the 3rd Infantry Company would receive relevant orders to enter the attack position and wait for the opportunity to cut in.

​​

The Sharp Knife Company has completed the breakthrough to the enemy's defense line. They must immediately conduct interspersed maneuvers to attack the flanks of the enemy's position blocking the 2nd Infantry Company and relieve the pressure on the 2nd Infantry Company.

​​

The 3rd Infantry Company quickly approached the gap opened by the Sharp Knife Company, expanded the results, eliminated the enemy in the theater, consolidated regional security, and supported the Sharp Knife Company and the 2nd Infantry Company after completion.

​​

The weapon support company should coordinate the breakthrough mission of the sharp knife company, and continue to cover the sharp knife company to suppress the enemy's flank after the breakthrough task is completed.

​​

The 3rd Infantry Company and Weapon Support Company-level command units have the right to make judgments based on the actual situation on the battlefield.

​​

You can consider continuing to complete the support mission or directly interspersed with the enemy to further complete the offensive mission.

​​

However, the company commander is responsible for the heavy losses caused by the company commander's misjudgment. "Lin Rui explained on the map.
