Originally, according to my idea... War is about real shooting. At that time, shells and bullets will be used, and morale will be added. How can I simulate empty bullets?
If this is in modern times, there is a laser device... It will be fine if it is hit by a real gun and it will cause smoke to appear when it hits. This will at least reflect a battle more realistically.
The problem is that there is no such equipment in this era... Then, with a submachine gun equipped with an empty bag of bullets, who knows whether it hits the opponent? This exercise is like acting for others to watch.
However, after Zhao Jingping's explanation, I quickly realized that this exercise was not as simple as I thought.
The reason is that in addition to confronting the red and blue sides, this exercise will also have a third-party team called the "director team".
The so-called "director group"... As the name suggests, I think it should be the organization of the director. Their task is to set the situation, observe the situation and make scientific judgments. In short, it is to make some coordination or
It plays the role of a referee.
For example, a battle: The Red Army carried out a firepower preparation on the Blue Army's positions... During the exercise, heavy equipment such as artillery shells and other equipment were still equipped with live ammunition. Of course, this could not allow the Blue Army to stay in the position and let the Red Army's artillery or tanks bombard him.
Blast... Here the director team must play a coordinated role to stagger the time between the two sides, let the Blue Army withdraw from the position first, and then let the Red Army launch artillery attacks... Then the director team will then use the fire density and attack range of the Red Army,
The Blue Army's defensive posture, anti-attack methods, protection level, etc. determine how much losses the Blue Army suffers. After the judgment is made, decide how many troops the Blue Army will withdraw and then go to the position to organize defense. If the casualties reach a certain level, the Blue can be
The army has withdrawn from the exercise.
Simply put... this exercise actually divides the battle into sections. After fighting for a while, the director team will shout "suspended". Then, the battle will be withdrawn from the battlefield first and the battle will start there. After the battle, it will be "suspended" again.
, while evacuating from the position, the fight started again...
This will allow both sides to stagger the exercise without any casualties. The overall procedure will be followed by real combat steps. If the referee will be fair and the judgment method will be scientific, then to be honest, it can indeed describe a war or test the red.
The combat effectiveness of both sides.
However, stopping for a while will undoubtedly make the participating troops feel discontinuous. In some ways, it is impossible to examine the commander's ability to adapt to the tension in the battlefield... There is time to analyze it slowly during the suspension.
Slowly consider how to deal with it. If you really are in war, how can you get time to gather with your adviser to discuss how to deal with it?
At the same time, it is impossible to examine the psychological quality of the troops or the gap in shooting... The victory or defeat is determined by firepower. Those who have never fought a war will still be afraid of the dead. If you have good marksmanship, you can suppress it with a sniper rifle.
As for a company... Such things did happen on the counterattack battlefield because our army's individual weapons lacked firepower and had a short range. In addition, Vietnam's special terrain caused such extreme battle examples.
But nothing will be perfect, and there will inevitably be shortcomings in simulating a confrontation without casualties.
I and the soldiers of the Second Company did not feel anything about this exercise, just like I said before... Those of us who have been on the battlefield have really been through gunfire, and the Japanese killed them all, and the corpse and blood are also there.
I have seen it... I'm asking us to have such a confrontation now, which is really a bit like "I don't look at the mountains when I return to the Five Mountains".
Liang Lianbing said this: "Battery Commander... If you go to the real battlefield, you will die if you are not careful. We will be very energetic for our own lives, but this exercise...
”
"Just think that people will die!" I said, "Just treat it as a real war and fight it? Anyway, the bullets in this gun cannot kill people!"
"It's not possible to fight as a real war!" Li Zuolong said with a bitter face: "I'm a little used to twisting the enemy's neck. What if I catch another unlucky person, I twist it like this..."
The soldiers all laughed at each other.
What the soldiers are saying is really... For those of us who have been on the battlefield, participating in the exercises is to suppress ourselves and restrict ourselves. In this regard, it may not be a good thing... because this may lead to the future
When you go to the real battlefield, you will still have the illusion of being in an exercise and you will not dare to let go of your hands and feet.
But the spirit of hard work in the middle of the game was very energetic, and everyone was ready to show their skills in the upcoming exercise field. Moreover, the hardship spirit of people in this era is incomparable to modern people... This may be because life in this era is common
The reason for this is more difficult. They are not like our modern day who have cars and air conditioners when going out, so even if we repeatedly increase the training intensity and even pull them out of bed and do night training in the middle of the night, they have no complaints.
So I said to Zhao Jingping: "Or... we'll let the first company join and the second company serve as the reserve team!"
"How can that be done?" Zhao Jingping looked at me in disbelief: "Battorney General... I don't know what to say. This may be related to whether our synthetic battalion can continue to move forward. Do you know? I hope you are about this exercise
Have enough attention!”
"How do you say this?" the instructor couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Battery Commander, Instructor!" Zhao Jingping realized that he had missed his words, so he explained embarrassedly: "I was originally from the General Staff of the Military Region, so the information is more informative... Many people above do not agree with us like this...
In training, we are talking nonsense, we are greedy for life and fear of death, and we are throwing away the spirit of the older generation of revolutionaries who dare to fight and fight... So we are all waiting to see the jokes of our fifth camp! It is precisely because of this, the Sixth Camp
The establishment of the exercise has received support from many people. If this exercise is lost, the opposition will undoubtedly be greater, and more, and the pressure on Commander Zhang will be greater... and this will also damage the confidence of the entire army
…”
"Um!" The instructor couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
I smiled softly and said, "That's good!"
"Battery Commander...you are..."
"I was worried just now that this exercise might lose due to insufficient training time!" I said, "Now I feel relieved after listening to what Staff Zhao said!"
"This..." Zhao Jingping and instructor couldn't help looking at each other, wondering what medicine I sold in this gourd.
"Think about it..." I said: "Since the upper class is the situation as Staff Zhao said... then how would Chen Jiahao train the synthetic camp in his hand?"
"Oh!" I said that to the instructor and Zhao Jingping quickly understood.
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping nodded slightly: "If Chen Jiahao also has our method to train...then even if we defeat us, it cannot explain anything. Instead, it can be said that it has helped us, proving that our training method is effective!
”
"So the Sixth Battalion will definitely have the same old tactical thinking as the infantry!" said the instructor: "In tactical terms, we will emphasize the spirit of courage, use strong attacks, and use hard fights..."
"That's right!" I said: "This is not a speculation, but the situation forces Chen Jiahao to fight like this. So on the surface, these six battalions seem to be the same as our synthetic battalion, but in fact there are essential differences. Since we are
Everyone knows their tactical direction, will it still be difficult to fight?"
The instructor and Zhao Jingping nodded in agreement, but our guess will naturally not leak out... Firstly, it is because we don't want the commanders and fighters to take it lightly because they look down on the enemy too much. Secondly,... If our guesses are all made known to Chen Jiahao.
, unless he is a fool, he will definitely change his tactical training.
Later I learned that Chen Jiahao was indeed trained as I thought. Even he even selected members of the Sixth Battalion with the characteristics of this era, that is, he had a big competition... in individual tactics against seniors in the Infantry School.
The students conducted an assessment and then screened out a company with "firm thinking and tenacious combat". As for another company transferred from the Ninth Border Defense Division... they captured three Vietnamese troops in one day during the counterattack battle.
The company in the highlands...
I was a little surprised to capture three highlands of the Vietnamese army in one day? What kind of war is this to capture three highlands in one day! You should know the Vietnamese highlands and
The mountain roads have to climb for one or two hours at a time, and conquere three high grounds in a row... Even if there is no defense of the Vietnamese army, it will be very tired!
Then I quickly remembered... When attacking the old street, when our troops were interspersed in the rear of the old street, the Vietnamese troops stationed at the old street suddenly disappeared from the ground... The Vietnamese troops turned from the ground to the ground,
Hiding into the tunnel below the old street.
At that time, some troops did capture several Vietnamese high grounds in one day... So I understood.
However, there is a saying that "despise the enemy strategically and attaches importance to the enemy tactically", so although I am not very worried about future exercises, I have no relaxation in training.
Especially I plan to let it be the main force of the first company composed of new students... The training for them was to take turns for individual soldiers, infantry tanks, and infantry cannons. Of course, the training for the second company was not relaxed, but for the second company
The training mainly adds to individual tactics and coordination shortcomings, and is also aimed at practical combat.
My idea is... For the first company that has not been on the battlefield, exercises may allow them to improve their combat effectiveness or allow them to adapt to the battlefield faster in the future. But for the second company that has long been used to the battlefield, it is a bit
It seems that it is not necessary to tie hands and feet. (To be continued...)
