Armored troops and artillery troops were similar. The number of equipment was basically one tank or one cannon per squad.
The only difference between the two was the ratio of troops, which was why the armored force had fewer personnel than the same level of troops.
However, Chen Zhihua was allocated according to the standard infantry battalion. Each squad had twelve people, and each platoon had four squads. It was the same as before.
In fact, Chen Zhihua was more suited to the three-three system. After so many years of evolution and improvement, the three-three system had reached the most perfect level.
However, the size of the Japanese army was much larger than the Chinese army. The number of people in a brigade was much more than that of a battalion, but also much less than that of a regiment.
Therefore, this created an awkward situation. When facing a large group of Japanese soldiers, China often needed to send two regiments or a brigade to barely resist.
As a result, although it seemed that there were many troops invested, there were not many that could be used.
The four-to-four formation could perfectly solve this problem. A battalion of nearly 800 people, coupled with the current equipment, could easily take on a large group of Japanese soldiers.
However, this was still not Chen Zhihua's ultimate goal. Anyway, he had plenty of points. He could just fight head-on.
"Three tanks per squad, distribute them yourself!”Looking at the neatly arranged tanks in front of him, Chen Zhihua waved his hand and was too lazy to look at those country bumpkins again.
This trash tank scared you so much that you couldn't even open your eyes. If I get more and more advanced tanks in the future, will we still be able to play?
"Annoying, you're so knowledgeable. How many tanks does a battalion have?”Long Wenzhang swallowed his saliva, his body trembling involuntarily as he asked.
" A squad has three, a platoon has twelve, a company has forty-eight, a battalion has four forty-eight, a hundred and ninety-two…" Cripple Meng counted with his fingers.
" That's more than half of the armored division of the country..." Krupp said in a daze.
"How many tanks does the German armored division have?”Long Wenzhang said numbly.
"More than 300 units, but an armored division has a lot of logistics units. We only have combat units and no logistics units.”Krupp thought for a moment. He had studied in the country of Dé and knew that the thing that tanks were most afraid of was that there was no one to protect them.
In other words, the current armored division was not something they could handle at all.
Not to mention the two armored battalions with nearly 400 tanks, even if they were given 40 tanks, they wouldn't be able to handle it.
The logistical support needed by the tank troops was enough to scare people to death. Not to mention fuel and ammunition, they needed to be maintained every three to five days.
Small maintenance was simple, but every few hundred hours of operation, the engine had to be repaired. This required the engine to be dismantled. After dismantling it a few times, the engine had to be replaced. Otherwise, the tank could not be used at all.
"Krupp, come and see your cannon!”Chen Zhihua did not care about their shock.
Care?
Couldn't he just recruit people and nurture them? After the system strengthened the tank soldiers, each of them could complete some minor maintenance on their own. It was a piece of cake to recruit 100 to 200 people to be strengthened by engineers.
Engine parts could be exchanged directly. Was that difficult?
Besides, do you really think I'm a weakling?
Do you all think that I'm stupid enough to let you guys play with those expensive tanks?
Naive. Chen Zhihua had exchanged for the most durable Soviet tank, the T34. Although the T34 had not officially appeared, the technical cost and construction cost were ridiculously cheap.
Therefore, the unit price of a tank was 2,000 points. Yes, that was right, it was 1,000 points cheaper than a 533mm torpedoes.
It was because it was cheap that Chen Zhihua decided to arm his troops to the teeth. Although they were a regiment, if they fought, even a division would not be able to stop them...
"Commander, the artillery regiment doesn't have three cannons per squad, right?”Krupp's interest was instantly piqued when he heard the word cannon, and he asked cheerfully.
" In your dreams..." Chen Zhihua rolled his eyes. He really didn't know what this guy was thinking.
Tanks could run with four people in a group, but could cannons do the same? Even if they really wanted more, they would have to expand the scale of the artillery first. One cannon per squad was already the limit.
He didn't even see a platoon with two cannons and a squad that specialized in support.
As for some heavy artillery above 100mm, each platoon was equipped with one cannon. Each platoon had dozens of people surrounding this cannon. Chen Zhihua was already very generous to be able to make one cannon per squad.
"Each battalion has 64 105mm howitzers, weighing 2260kg, with a maximum range of 11200 meters. Compared to them, the Japanese's heavy artillery is nothing.”Chen Zhihua pointed at the 64 M101 howitzers in a small square formation and announced happily.
Not to mention the other cannons, just the howitzers of this battalion alone could make the Japanese cry.
"88mm dual-purpose artillery. If there are planes to shoot at planes, if there are no planes to shoot at the devils, there will definitely be nothing left.”
"See this? A rocket launcher could fire 16 rockets in 10 seconds. If a battalion fired at the same time, the enemy would be wiped out.”
Krupp swallowed hard. Chen Zhihua was right. These were the most powerful equipment. Any random battalion would be able to defeat the Japanese.
He had never thought that there would be so many cannons. In addition to nearly 400 tanks, their division had more than 600 cannons. This...
This was more than the number of cannons deployed by the Japanese in the entire Shanghai battlefield.
"General, this is a good thing, but how do I use it?”Long Wenzhang said with a worried face.
“？？？”Chen Zhihua was dumbfounded.
" Most of the battles are in Jiangbei. If it's just infantry, we can still think of a way to cross the river. But now, these big guys can't cross the river..." Long Wenzhang was happy and worried.
The T34 tank was very light, but it still weighed 26 tons. Its full combat weight was more than 30 tons. There was no bridge that could support them across the river, let alone a ferry.
Therefore, the artillery could still be transported over, but if these tanks really wanted to participate in the war, they would probably have to go around Taihu Lake and pass through Kunshan to reach Jiangbei. However, this would take three to five days.
“？？？”Chen Zhihua was dumbfounded. Was there a need to ask such a question?
"It's a bridge. Isn't there someone else? We just need to build two engineer battalions…"
