"Comrades! The Fifth Battalion of the 118th Regiment is officially established!"
There was a burst of applause from the audience...
That's right, this is the establishment ceremony of the troops... Because the soldiers of the Synthetic Battalion all come from all sides and do not know each other, I think at least it is necessary for the soldiers to know the cadres who directly led them, so I can't
This conference was held by the free people.
It will be opened in the blue court. This blue court should be the venue of the school. Because there is a rostrum here, it will be very convenient and fast. Just move a few tables, stools, and put two on them.
Little trumpet, the cadres of the battalion sat on the rostrum, and the soldiers lined up to stand down below... The meeting began.
The instructor Wu Yicheng, who presided over the conference, is political and ideological work... This is his strength. Our battalion commander and company commander are his strengths in war. And according to the practice of "party leadership guns" in our army, he can still say that he is.
Half a level higher than me.
"Comrades!" the instructor waved his hand and said loudly: "This is an exciting moment, and it is also the first day our fifth battalion opened a new page. I hope that from the beginning of our opening this page, all our commanders and soldiers,
Every stroke of the Fifth Battalion written by all members of the Fifth Battalion’s War History is glorious and victory!”
"Huahuhu..." There was another applause.
"Now I will introduce the commander of my battalion to my comrades!" The instructor said to me: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, the battalion commander of the Fifth Battalion!"
As I stood up, there was another warm applause from the audience.
I don't know if it's my illusion, but I think the applause I gave me seemed to be a little more enthusiastic... But it doesn't seem surprising. Half of the two infantry companies below were my original subordinates, and the other half was looking up at my stairs school.
Students, other newly joined troops, have more or less heard about my war history... The army is actually very realistic, and I respect the victorious general who won battles on the battlefield like this, so the applause naturally became warm.
When it comes to other people... For example, the Chief of Staff, the soldiers didn't know what he was from, so the applause would be enough to deal with it.
After a lot of people introduced me... I don’t know how many soldiers listened to it, but I started to get distracted before I could hear it.
Then I heard from the instructor: "Next, please give our battalion commander a few words to the establishment of the Fifth Battalion!"
There was a lot of applause from "Wow..."
I couldn't help but be stunned... The instructor didn't tell me to give a speech at the meeting...
The instructor was stunned when he looked at my expression... He thought it was natural for me, a battalion commander to say a few words, and there was no need to say anything!
OK! Just say a few words... These guys are my soldiers, what are I afraid of?
Thinking of me taking the horn, I shouted at the audience: "Comrades! Do you know why we are forming this Fifth Battalion?"
After a pause, I saw that no one in the audience answered, so I continued, "The answer is very simple, I just don't want to die!"
There was an uproar in the audience. You should know that the spirit of praise in this era is not to be afraid of death. A hero like me, their leader would actually say "I don't want to die."
I ignored their reaction and continued, "I came down from the battlefield, and many of you came down from the battlefield... So we all know that people will die when they go to the battlefield, and people will die if they want to fight.
We are fighting with the Vietnamese devils, or exchanging their own lives for the devils' lives... Then we admit it, such sacrifice is worth it and glorious... However, what we are most reluctant to do is the sacrifice that could have been avoided, but because
The mistakes I made caused a large number of reductions... As for what kind of mistakes, I won't explain them in detail here. Comrades know that there are tactical, equipment and command.
Suffering such casualties...we are wronged! We are unwilling! This unwilling voice is unwilling. I shouted for those brothers who will never come back in the ghost place in Vietnam! They are for those who shouldn't have been
The sacrificed comrades shouted!
Now... in order not to make such mistakes in the future, and in order not to sacrifice others like this inexplicable sacrifice in the future... that is why our camp was established, so I said that I was forming this camp so that I would not want to die!"
My words ended here, and the audience was silent. After a while... I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and then the applause quickly rang like a storm, and it didn't last long.
Stop. Huang Jianfu even ignored his identity as the commander of the tank company and clapped while wiping tears in front of his soldiers.
But this seems normal. If I had experience like him... I am afraid I can't stand the pain when I was said to be.
In fact, it's not just him who is alone. Everyone who has been on the battlefield and fought wars has experienced such things. Now, when you think about it, you can't help but sigh in your heart. You just don't want others to discover it and secretly wipe it.
Just tears.
After the meeting, the instructor sighed and said to me, "I don't need to make drafts when I speak, and I just say it to the hearts of the soldiers." This made the soldiers clarify the purpose of forming the fifth battalion and know the goal of training.
After that, the work will be much easier!
In fact, what the instructor doesn't know is... These words I said were not casually, but were truly experienced with the blood and life on the battlefield. It is precisely with such personal experience that we can understand that we are both from the battlefield.
Only in the minds of the soldiers who came down had a way to resonate with them in just a few words.
After the meeting, I left a day for the soldiers to rest. Warriors from all armies and units can use this time to get to know, communicate and interact.
This made the instructors and instructors busy, and I took the staff to develop training schedules and various training plans.
The schedule is still a small problem. Our training was fixed from the beginning, mainly the coordinated training of three types of armed forces, namely armed, gun and tank. Therefore, the schedule is arranged in three days as a cycle, namely armed, armed, gun and gun.
Cannon workers. In other words, they are combined to conduct coordinated training. If the troops that are not combined in a single day are trained in a single group of troops or coordinated training as needed.
For example, on the first day, the joint training of infantry and tanks, the artillery and engineers will either conduct training on their own, or they can also conduct joint training of artillery and engineers under the guidance and coordination of artillery staff and engineers as needed.
It is obvious that the focus is the coordination between the infras and tanks and the infantry. The reason is very simple. Infantry is a man, the foundation of the army, and it is also a variable that can most affect the situation of the war.
Of course, this does not mean that other troops are not important, but in actual combat, tanks are often limited by terrain and have limited combat effectiveness. Artillery forces decide that they cannot become the main body of the battle because of their backscene tactics and uncertainty.
Infantry is still the protagonist, which is determined by the elements that make up the infantry.
As for humans, they will not be restricted by the terrain like tanks or will not be affected so much by the terrain, nor will they be unable to hide in the blind spots of the back slope. At the same time, they will also have wisdom and life.
, so you can flexibly and changeably on the battlefield to deal with various situations and even change yourself to adapt to the battlefield environment.
And other troops, after all, are actually people operating some tools, such as tanks, cannons, cars... If infantry uses these tools well, they can greatly expand the capabilities of infantry. Otherwise, it may be just a simple matter
The superposition of firepower can even sometimes have a counterproductive effect.
What we want to solve is the problem of using these tools.
The staff members are still very clear about the training procedures, such as what training plan they formulate, listing the training time, training ground, troops, and what goals to achieve, etc.
It is also good to program and standardize some things like this, so that at least you won’t catch a handful of people here and there. You look like a headless fly and have no goal for a long time.
But it is enough to have a staff officer to do these things. For me, the battalion commander... I still think about what kind of problems I need to solve.
For this point, I have an innate advantage over the staff. First, I know what modern coordinated war is like, and second, I have been on the battlefield and know the coordination between the trunk and the infrastructure.
where.
Therefore, I, as a battalion commander, prefer to discover problems and ask questions. I can solve problems through training... I discover new problems during training and then ask questions... I will organize and program these problems.
Let the staff be done.
Another thing that needs to be solved is the logistics problem of the troops... As we all know, logistics is the basis of the combat effectiveness of an army. Without logistics, everything is useless, especially for a synthetic battalion with multiple military corpses, without logistics.
Support can easily get stuck in the chaos of ammunition recharge.
But we are not yet at that stage... The reason is that this school has a logistics department and the base has sufficient ammunition reserves. You must know that these ammunition reserves are enough for a division to train... Then add us, the artillery soldier
Battalion, what is a tank company worth? What's more, we're just starting training and not having enough live-fire shooting or live-fire exercises!
This does not require much ammunition, so the logistics troops naturally have not started to be formed... It is impossible to practice if you want to practice. The synthetic battalion is still in the stage of discovering and solving problems. Who is the stage of discovering and solving problems?
I know what logistics requirements will be required for the synthesis of all military branches in the future, and what problems will arise!
But it is necessary to prepare for the future. The main reason is that during the training process, we may continue to have various requirements for equipment, such as anti-tank missiles, communication equipment, etc.
I will leave this issue to Zhao Jingping to deal with. He and another infantry staff officer named Lu Zhaolin both came from the General Staff of the Military Region. I have considerable reason to believe... They were sent by Commander Zhang to observe our entire training process.
.
Therefore, asking him for equipment is almost the same as asking Commander Zhang. Who else can manage this logistics besides him? (To be continued.)
