The evening was originally a time to study ideological and political studies... I had a headache when I read this when I was studying. Now that I had the chance, of course I clicked on it without even thinking about it.
The instructor argued with me for a while about this matter. According to his words...if an army does not have a firm stand and correct thoughts, it will be difficult to display the spirit of heroic fighting on the battlefield, so this
Ideological and political courses are a must.
In this regard, I only said one thing to the instructor... Instructor, how many of the people our second company can fight are "firm in stance and correct in thinking"?
The instructor was speechless when I said this, because he knew very well that our Second Company had "rebelled"...During the counterattack, the company commander's arbitrary command was unpopular, so the whole company rebelled...It is precisely because of this that we
We have Company Commander Luo and a new instructor.
And I also believe one thing, that is, Commander Zhang told the instructor not to place too many restrictions on me, so the instructor did not insist any more in the end.
Since the ideological and political classes have been cut off, we can’t let the soldiers play with them anymore, right?
Of course not... This is a good time to summarize training experience and exchange and teach experience.
So I divided my troops into nine squads, each with six to seventy people. Each squad mixed infantry, tanks, artillery, and engineers in proportion, and each squad had one or two soldiers.
A staff member will provide guidance.
As for the content of the class... there is a lot to talk about. The artillery teaches the infantry coordinates, the infantry teaches the engineers about shooting, the engineers teach the tank soldiers about mines, the veterans teach the recruits about tactics... so the whole class looks chaotic.
, a group of people here and there seemed to be telling stories, and when they got excited, they would dance and write and draw on the blackboard.
This is a time for decentralized learning. There is no doubt that such learning is beneficial to the exchange of knowledge among various arms. And the soldiers all know... these gadgets are very likely to be used to save lives on the battlefield in the future. In addition, what we are training now is military training.
Because of the cooperation between the two groups, they naturally did not dare to be lazy, and they were all very active in asking each other for advice.
Of course, there are also times when learning is concentrated. For example, for infantry, it is necessary to invite engineers to take a few demining classes. They will explain clearly what to pay attention to on the road, and after the classes are completed, let engineers come to conduct on-site inspections of them.
Education is this thing... If a teacher gives a lecture in the classroom, no matter what the content is, the people listening will be drowsy. This is especially true for me, who has been listening to lectures for more than ten years in modern times.
It's a deep experience.
But if they are allowed to teach others by themselves, or ask for knowledge based on their own interests... it will be different. Their thirst for knowledge will make them break the pot and ask to the end. They will not give up until they find out clearly.
So you will unknowingly, or in the process of your comrades telling and listening to stories, you will gain some knowledge and experience on the battlefield.
That evening, when I walked outside the class as usual, I found that one class was particularly quiet and had a somewhat depressing atmosphere... I got curious and walked in with the security guard.
"Battal Commander!" Tank staff officer Ding Chengdong rushed to greet me as soon as he saw me.
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Every other class is having a lively discussion, but your class is so virtuous..."
"Battal Commander!" Ding Chengdong explained: "Just now, Company Commander Huang told us about the battle where their tank battalion suffered heavy losses at the pass!"
"Oh!" After hearing this, I couldn't help but suddenly realized. Looking at Huang Jianfu's red eyes, I knew that this guy was talking about something sad again.
"The master who remembers the past does not forget the aftermath!" I said: "It doesn't matter if you suffered heavy losses in the past, as long as you don't make the same mistakes again in the future!"
"Batalion Commander!" Huang Jianfu stood up and said, "But no one can find a solution to this problem..."
"Hmm! What's the problem? Let's talk about it!"
"It's a problem with the command vehicle!" Ding Chengdong answered on his behalf: "One of the big reasons why Company Commander Huang's company suffered so many casualties is that the command vehicle can identify it. Cadre vehicles generally have two antennas. One is for communicating with superiors, and the other is for
To communicate with subordinates, if you want to communicate with infantry, there are even three antennas... The Vietnamese Japanese also know this feature of our tanks, so the first batch of them are cadre vehicles, and the entire tank unit quickly loses command and becomes chaotic!
"
"Yeah!" I nodded. I also remember that Huang Jianfu's battalion of more than 30 tanks were beaten down to only a few tanks in this way. This is a common problem in counterattacks.
"But we thought about it..." Ding Chengdong said in embarrassment: "Because our army's communication equipment is backward, it is difficult to turn two or even three antennas into one antenna. If the number is reduced, it will be difficult to communicate with superiors or infantry.
Collaborate..."
"Why reduce it?" I asked back.
Ding Chengdong couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard this: "If we don't reduce the number of antennas, won't they be given to the Japanese by the Japanese..."
"Why can't it be increased?" I asked again.
"Increase?" Ding Chengdong's face was full of confusion. The soldiers didn't know what I meant.
In the end, I had no choice but to say with a helpless expression: "You guys... Since the number of antennas on the cadre car cannot be reduced, why can't you add a few antennas to other cars? Give it three antennas. Let's see.
Which car will the Japanese find that is a cadre car?"
"That's right!" Only then did someone slap his head: "This is a good idea!"
"That's right! It's easy to say. Just plug in a few fake antennas and it's done, right?"
"Damn it! How could we not think of it being so simple!"
"Nonsense, you would have thought that you are the battalion commander!"
…
At this time, Ding Chengdong also opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. It seemed that he finally understood the gap between me.
In fact, it seems normal for soldiers not to think of this. What this requires is a little reverse thinking, and people in this era are limited by the times and education. Most people have a single mind and will think in one direction...
If you think about it from another angle, it's actually not difficult at all.
Just as I was about to walk out of the classroom, I remembered that I still had a competitor...that is, Chen Jiahao's camp, so I turned around and whispered to Ding Chengdong: "This method is not allowed to be leaked! Keep it confidential!"
"Yes!" Ding Chengdong was a staff officer. Of course he knew the meaning of this, and he immediately straightened up and agreed.
When I walked out of the classroom, I was thinking... In fact, even ordinary tanks need to plug in a second antenna. This antenna can be used to communicate with the following infantry. You know, tank soldiers usually hide in the tank cabin during battles.
Use a periscope to observe the battlefield outside...
During tank operations, members generally do not stick their heads out to observe. The reason is that tank members perform their own duties. The driver is responsible for driving, the gunner is responsible for aiming and shooting the enemy, the second gunner is responsible for loading shells, and the commander is responsible for contacting superiors and giving instructions.
Coordinate the operations of all members of the tank. This determines that as long as one member of a tank is sacrificed or injured, it is likely to lose combat effectiveness or be greatly reduced due to the inability to coordinate.
I only learned this after reading the tank tactics textbook, so tank crews are strictly prohibited from sticking out of the tank cabin to use anti-aircraft machine guns during combat. They can just leave this thing outside and let the infantry use it.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the tank responds slowly to the external battlefield situation and is not comprehensive enough. Due to the noise of the tank and the thick armor, the infantry's cries cannot be transmitted inside the tank at all... So even though it is
Being so close is like being separated by mountains... On the battlefield, the relationship between infantry and tanks is often to hit them with their rifle butts. If you hit them on the left, they will turn to the left, and if you hit them on the right, they will turn to the right.
If infantry and tanks can communicate through walkie-talkies and provide real-time guidance and command tanks to cooperate, it will undoubtedly be much more flexible.
So I quickly made up my mind... This communication equipment must be spread to the squad and every tank. It is best that a tank and an infantry squad can form a combat unit for coordinated training.
As I walked, I quickly thought... Since the problem of tank antennas can be solved from another angle, what about the issue of infantry loading? Maybe I should think about it from another angle.
The Type 63 armored transport vehicle cannot be counted on for the time being... That means the infantry must carry tanks, and the infantry must carry tanks, which means they have to tie themselves to the tanks...
Under the premise of being tied to the tank, there is only one way to improve the reaction speed as much as possible... that is to allow the soldiers to easily tie themselves to the tank, and then easily untie themselves when necessary.
!
That’s right! It’s much easier to do this. Although it’s not ideal yet, you can definitely find a transition method!
Thinking of this, I immediately walked to the headquarters in three steps and two steps at a time, then grabbed Zhao Jingping and asked: "Counselor Zhao, in your day and age... Well, do you know something called a spring buckle?"
"Spring buckle?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but look confused.
Well... I don't know if the spring buckle has been invented at this time. Even if it has been invented... the reform and opening up was only implemented last year. It may not have been introduced yet, so I have to do it myself.
Thinking of this, I picked up a pen and paper and drew a picture of a spring buckle on the paper. As I was drawing, I said: "It's best to be made of steel, which is stronger, and the other end is connected to a rope. It must be able to withstand a person."
The weight of a warrior. The structure is very simple. There is an opening here, and there is a spring device inside. It opens when you press it. When you let go, it will automatically close due to the elastic force of the spring..."
After finishing the painting, he handed it to Zhao Jingping and asked, "Can you do it?"
"What are you talking about!" Zhao Jingping nodded firmly: "We can even make airplanes and cannons, how can we not make this thing?"
It seems that I have underestimated the military industry of this era... (To be continued.)
