After reaching a consensus on the issue of forming a synthetic camp... in fact, this is not a problem at all, and even if it is not reached, it is necessary to reach a consensus.
The first thing I did next was to determine the main goal of our training, which is what I said before: transforming infantry from the original fierce attack and rushing to discovering enemy firepower points, reporting coordinates, and using tanks.
Firepower and protection, as well as commanding tanks and artillery to strike targets!
The staff members still have a lot of complaints about this. In their words... the main body of this training has become infantry? Then why aren't their tank soldiers, artillery soldiers, and engineers all become foils?
It seems to be, but that's what I told them...
"Comrades! Think about the status of tank soldiers and artillery in previous battles, and then think about what the status of tank soldiers and artillery is if we train like this... tank soldiers and artillery are!"
OK... After saying that, the staff quickly understood where the problem was.
It is obvious that in previous battles, the body of the infantry was undoubtedly the main body, artillery was used to prepare fire or suppress enemy artillery, while tanks were occasionally used to assist infantry attacks... Then now the infantry is
Commanding artillery fire and commanding tanks to fight in advance actually reduces the "opportunity" of infantry on the battlefield and enhances the status of artillery and tank soldiers...
The staff members are also very smart, and they didn't think it through before, just a subconscious reaction... After I reminded me, I soon knew that this tactical idea would greatly increase the utilization rate of tank soldiers, artillery and even engineers. So where can I
There is a reason to object.
The second thing I did next was to distribute several sets of textbooks that I had equipped in advance to the staff... These textbooks were mentioned to Commander Zhang last night. There were infantry, artillery, and tank soldiers, that is, various types of soldiers
The tactical basis. Each staff officer has two sets of tactical textbooks except their own troops.
The staff members had no objection to this, because they also knew... If they wanted to become the staff officer of a synthetic battalion, that is, assist the leader in commanding the three types of soldiers, including intra-infantry, tank and artillery, then if they did not use the tactics of other types of soldiers, they would not be able to do anything about the tactics of other types of soldiers.
It's a joke to know that.
So the first thing the chiefs of staff must do is to learn and learn the knowledge of the other two armies besides their own armies. If necessary, I also want to develop a set of engineering tactical foundations... This is completely necessary to learn these
Knowledge does not mean that the staff can reach the point where they can clear mines or build bridges, but that they have a basic idea of clearing mines, building bridges, and opening roads. They will not open their mouths and order: "You are limited to two."
The mines are discharged within an hour” or “build a floating bridge within an hour”.
The same is true for learning the tactical basics of other troops. It does not require being proficient. It only requires having a thought in your head so that you will not make low-level mistakes because you know nothing.
However, these are not very difficult for the staff. First of all, they are graduates from various military academies and have a military theoretical foundation. Secondly, they are doing this work, and long-term command gives them practical tactical experience.
Again, here is the staff of the storm, tank and cannon... Later I found out that there were actually two staff members of the engineering regiment, so when they were learning tactics, they could immediately ask the relevant professional staff members, and not only could they get answers quickly,
They will also extend many experiences to each other...
Of course, as the battalion commander who directly commanded this unit, and Zhang Zuoliang, the deputy battalion commander who might command this unit, is no exception. So we both quickly devoted ourselves to tactical learning.
The one who learned the slowest was Zhang Zuoliang... The reason is that his education level is only in junior high school, and his combat environment has always been mostly farming and raising pigs... I haven't touched my head for several years since I was a soldier. What kind of knowledge is that junior high school
I almost forgot it. But I think this is not a big problem. With so many advisers, and Zhang Zuoliang himself is eager to learn, he will naturally get it over time.
These tactics are a bit difficult for me. The artillery tactics are the ones that need to be measured in this way. They also need to use trigonometric functions to calculate the distance, and then use this distance to calculate the distance and elevation of the target...
But this is just a bit difficult. This is all primary knowledge in high school for me, so of course I can quickly understand what is going on... My learning speed even makes those artillery staff feel
Surprised.
But I know very well... I still have a great distance to reach the level of artillery observers, because I heard from the artillery staff that... Artillery observers in extreme cases are before the second shell fired by the enemy.
Calculate the coordinates of the target.
This surprised me so much that my chin was about to fall... You need to know that the trigonometric function values of this target are not special angles such as 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees... I need to use these non-special angles to calculate how many sections it is
The distance is finally calculated... This needs to be completed within a few seconds between the shells? How can it be done! Even our modern computers need time to enter data!
The artillery staff answered to me: "This... I can't explain clearly, and you'll know when the artillery comes up!"
OK... this aroused my curiosity, and I even wanted to arrest Marx's artillery observers and asked questions on the spot.
But I do believe this is possible. What artillery needs is speed. It is difficult to be a little slower. It is very likely that the entire artillery position will be taken over by someone. So I will calculate every day, every day, and try my best to calculate...
...Then the mental arithmetic speed is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
From this point of view... if the infantry is to reach this level, it is probably difficult to achieve. Fortunately, the infantry does not need to be as rushing as the artillery, but the faster the better, the better.
Only then did I have a look at the information of the staff. After sorting it out, I found that there were at most staff from the artillery... There were nine in total, and there were only two staff members of the tank soldiers. The others were except for one engineer staff officer, and there were three infantry staff officers.
.
This ratio seems to be distributed according to the number of troops... The synthetic battalion has an artillery battalion, a tank company, two infantry companies and an engineer company. If there are two to three staff members in each company, it will be almost the same. Of course, this
Among them, the proportion of infantry staff is relatively small. I think the reason is that I, the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander, are both infantrymen.
This seems normal, but in fact I know this was specially arranged by Commander Zhang.
When I mentioned the synthetic battalion, I told Commander Zhang that there was a tank company, an artillery company, and two infantry companies... But Commander Zhang said without thinking: "A artillery company has only ten gates.
There are too few artillery items...there are a gun battalion!"
There are only ten tanks in a tank company. Why didn’t he say it was too small to change it to a tank battalion?
I think Commander Zhang has some considerations in this. You should know that the war on the Sino-Vietnam border has basically entered a stalemate, just like we have begun to hide from tunnels and touch each other on the 581 Highlands... The battle has entered a miniaturization
, Highlandization. It is obvious that tanks are difficult to play a role at this time.
But artillery is different, and the more at this time, the more infantry on the front line is often needed to guide artillery to strike against the Vietnamese army...
Therefore, Commander Zhang’s intention is actually very obvious, which is to pay more attention to the coordination of intra-cannons.
But my ideas are a little different. The reason is that I think not only about the current situation and crisis, but more importantly, considering the future development of the troops, especially hoping to change the commander of this era, "not afraid of sacrifice, and move forward bravely."
"The combat idea... There is no doubt that once tactics focus on coordination and focus on the direction of the group, this "brave forward" of a single soldier will naturally gradually lose the market.
Therefore, Commander Zhang is more considering the situation in front of him, while I am more considering the long-term, from the perspective of the tactical thinking that the entire army is more focused on spirit or scientific and rational.
I even thought... If we can gradually transform from the coordination of various armies from the army to the coordination of the sea, army, and air force in the future... Of course, in modern times, all countries are working together with these three armies, our country will not
Exception, that is, no matter whether I do this or not, my country will do it in the future.
But...if I could make this collaborative tactic appear earlier in the People's Liberation Army, would it be an improvement?
Thinking of this, I feel that there is finally a place that beats Commander Zhang, but this seems a bit unfair... I am a modern person, and it is normal to think more broadly and see farther. Commander Zhang is
Of course, a person of this era will have his limitations of the times. It can be said that he is quite visionary to boldly ask me to form this synthesis camp.
The final preparation is the choice of the troops. I have no choice for the artillery, tank and engineers. The reason is that I know nothing about other troops... Even if I ask me to choose, I don't know which one to choose.
The troops are good.
All I can choose is infantry...
The synthetic battalion must have two infantry companies, that is, in addition to the second company, there must be an infantry company... Will you choose a veteran unit with good combat performance?
I don't think so, because I know very well... Although veterans have combat experience, their educational level is generally low, and veterans often have old tactical ideas that have taken root in their heads, so they are less malleable. Besides,
The Second Company is a unit with combat experience. Of course, I will not repeatedly choose a copy of the Second Company.
Therefore, freshmen in the same grade of school are a good choice. (To be continued...)
