The dusty Bukov and Leskov, with their respective troops, returned to the fortifications on Gogol Street in shame. As soon as Bukov saw Ivan who was staying in the fortifications, he shouted loudly: "Comrade Battalion Commander, no, I can't rush up, the German firepower is too strong."

Second company commander Leskov walked straight to Lin Hua, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then asked: "Misha, look at the German firepower is so strong, how should we fight?"

When Bukov saw Leskov running to Lin Hua for advice, he showed a look of surprise on his face. What surprised him even more was that the battalion commander Major Ivan also ran to Lin Hua happily, and asked with a smile: "Misha, how do you think we can take this church?"

Seeing Ivan asking Lin Hua for advice, Bukov suddenly remembered that the reason why the troops were able to successfully take the Gogol Street was Sokov's "break the wall and open the way" tactic. Maybe he could come up with any other good way to let his troops take the church occupied by the German army.

Thinking of this, Bukov also came over and said to Lin Hua: "Misha, since you can come up with the tactic of 'breaking the wall and opening the way' when seizing Gogol Street, then what good way can you come up with for the church we are attacking?"

In fact, as early as the first and second companies were frustrated, Lin Hua, who was hiding in the barricades, began to think about how to take down the church. The church was surrounded by open areas without any barriers, and the tactic of breaking the wall and opening the road was obviously useless. Although it was also possible to use tunnel operations to approach the enemy's positions, it was winter now, the temperature was too low and the land had been frozen and hard. Even if the Germans did not open fire and let the Soviet army dig trenches, the tools in the hands of the soldiers could not dig the frozen soil at all.

At this moment, Ivan and two other company commanders surrounded him and asked him to give them advice, Lin Hua also felt very troubled. The German army in the church was too strong and if it could not be effectively suppressed, even if he was as resourceful as Zhuge Liang, he could come up with countless strategies by patting his head. But can the flesh and blood of the commanders and fighters block the German bullets?

But then I thought about it, if I didn't want a good countermeasure, like the first company and second company, the tactics of using human life to fill in it will soon destroy the troops, and the offensive tasks at that time will fall on my third company.

Lin Hua looked at Yifan and asked, "Comrade Battalion Commander, I wonder how many light and heavy machine guns can be concentrated in the battalion?"

When Ivan heard this question, he did not answer immediately, but turned his eyes to the two company commanders next to him. Bukov first replied: "We have two light machine guns in our company."

"We even have two players." As soon as Bukov finished speaking, Leskov answered.

After the two company commanders reported the numbers, Ivan continued: "There are still one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns left in the machine gun platoon in the battalion. I can transfer them all over immediately."

Lin Hua calculated silently in his mind. Adding the light machine gun in his company, there was a heavy machine gun and eight light machine guns. If it was lined up in the street, it would look a little crowded. He looked around and observed the surrounding environment and said to Ivan: "Comrade Battalion Commander, please order someone to blow up a few holes in the side walls of the left and right buildings, and put two light machine guns on each, and put the rest on the street. When the attack is launched again, use these machine gun firepower to suppress the enemy."

After Ivan arranged for the man to blow up the wall and carry heavy machine guns, he continued to ask: "Is there anything else to add?"

"I think the offensive formation also needs to be adjusted." Lin Hua thought that in the attack just now, the Soviet army's formation was like queuing up to die, so he decisively put forward his opinion: "I think if we still use the formation just now, there will still be heavy casualties under the intensive firepower of the German army."

After hearing Lin Hua say that, Ivan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Misha, you may not know that we have always used this offensive formation when we attack. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Yes, battalion commander." Lin Hua knew very well that if the existing formation attack was still adopted, even with the cover of machine gun fire, the troops would still suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, he must say that Fafan changed the offensive formation: "The formation we are now using is a multi-layered scattered army, and the firepower is difficult to exert when attacking. I think the three-three system assault tactic should be adopted."

"Three-three system assault tactics?" The three of them showed a confused expression on their faces when they heard Lin Hua say this. Ivan frowned and asked, "Misha, can you explain to me what the three-three system assault tactics is?"

Lin Hua nodded and began to introduce to the three Soviet commanders the tactics of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's invincible battles: "The three-three system assault tactic refers to the division into three combat groups based on squads, each with three people. In order to facilitate mutual connection, they are generally arranged in three echelons.

The three-person combat team is in a triangular offensive formation, each soldier has a clear division of labor and is responsible for attack, cover and support. The squad leader, deputy squad leader, and team leader each lead a combat team action. When the combat team attacks, two soldiers are in front and the team leader is in a triangular formation. Three combat teams form a combat squad, and three combat squads form a combat group, and when the attack is in a 'skirt line' formation."

After hearing Lin Hua's words, Yifan looked at the two company commanders on both sides and smiled and said, "Comrades, this is the first time I have heard of this tactic. Where are you?"

"It's the first time we've heard it." After Leskov finished speaking, he immediately asked Lin Hua: "Misha, is there any benefit in this three-three attack tactic?"

"The characteristics of the three-three-system assault tactic are evacuation formations, team cooperation, and small group assaults." Seeing that the tactics mentioned by him aroused Leskov's interest, Lin Hua continued with interest: "The ladders on the firepower distribution are clearly distinguished and coordinated with each other. It is a perfect offensive and defensive formation that can overcome the shortcomings of our army's scattered soldiers' difficulties in exerting firepower when advancing multiple layers. The intervals of each combat group are maintained at a reasonable distance, which avoids the problem of excessive losses when encountering artillery fire coverage."

Lin Hua said this and deliberately paused to see everyone's reaction. Ivan raised his chin at him and said encouragemently: "That's right, keep talking."

"According to my calculations, a mortar shell falls into the attack formation, can only cause one casualty; a 152 howitzer shell can only kill two groups at most." When citing this set of data, Lin Hua couldn't help but blush and continued: "Even if he encounters the most terrifying machine gun side fire, there will be no casualties between two combat squads. In the same situation, casualties in the formation of ordinary scattered soldiers usually reach dozens of people."

"This three-three system assault tactic sounds very good." As soon as Lin Hua finished speaking, Bukov, who had not spoken, interrupted and said: "I think you can try it in the next attack."

After some thought, Ivan felt that he could try the tactics that Lin Hua said, and quickly ordered Bukov and Leskov: "You immediately call the platoon leader here and let Misha teach them this new tactics."

While the two company commanders were summoning the squad platoon leader, Ivan still asked Lin Hua with concern: "Misha, your new tactic sounds good, but are there any shortcomings?"

Lin Hua hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Although this tactic has many advantages, it has a fatal disadvantage. The perfect cooperation between various combat teams requires years of experience accumulation and continuous training. In the past few months of combat, the troops of the Eighth Guard Division have been unable to use this tactic familiarity from other troops due to the large reduction in troops and the number of new recruits was added to other troops, resulting in low familiarity between commanders and fighters of each unit. In addition, this is a new tactic that I came up with temporarily, and whether the soldiers can master it is still a question. I am worried that when the formal attack, the soldiers will not be able to use this tactic familiarly, and increase unnecessary casualties."

"Misha, don't have any psychological burden." As soon as Lin Hua finished speaking, Ivan waved his hand to comfort him: "We are going to test whether this new tactic is applicable through this battle."
