"Kill!" With a roar, the Red Army troops surged towards Position 323 like a tide.
But as the saying goes, "One go all out, and then the other three are exhausted." They had charged several times before, but I stopped them for a few times and ran back and forth like a monkey. At this time, the shouts of killing were already loud.
There is no sound but no momentum.
I originally wanted to go to the front line to see the situation. After all, if I don’t see the battlefield situation with my own eyes, I won’t be able to grasp the details. Besides, as a battalion commander, I am also on the edge of being able to be on the front line but not... The tradition of our army
Cadres at the company level and below must take the lead in the charge. Although battalion commanders are not required to take the lead in the charge, it is normal to command on the front line or check the enemy's situation on the front line. Cadres at the regiment commander level will be on the front line if they go to the front line.
You will be criticized.
But... considering that I am the supreme commander of this unit, and this is still an exercise, an exercise that is obviously not good for our fifth battalion, if I go to the front line like this and the director team makes a judgment that the commander has sacrificed... then I can
I was so angry that I lost my temper.
So after much consideration, I decided to stay in the rear and take command in the artillery-proof hole temporarily constructed by the engineer company.
"Red Army infantry was found on the left wing, organized into two platoons, with unknown numbers!"
"Red Army infantry was found on the front, organized into a company, the number is unknown!"
…
Information came to me like snowflakes through walkie-talkies and various staff officers. Every time a new piece of information appeared, Zhao Jingping moved the red arrow forward a little further according to the corresponding position on the map in front of me, so that I could visualize it very clearly.
to see the Red Army's charge.
Just like what I thought... Yang Jiahao used the old tactic of "frontal breakthrough and outflanking on both wings", but their armored troops never appeared on the right wing. Instead, they were replaced by two platoons of infantry...
I was a little confused about this at first. But after thinking about it, I quickly understood... Chen Jiahao is not stupid. He knows that tanks cannot cooperate without infantry, and he also knows that armored transport vehicles are in the open land full of craters.
Maybe it won't play any role, so in order to let the tanks have infantry to cooperate and keep up with the tanks... let the infantry go in front, so that after the tanks appear, they rush forward and arrive at the rear of our position at the same time as the infantry.
Got it!
This was a wishful thinking... I immediately pointed to the infantry in the open ground and said to King Chuang: "Is there any way you can use a mortar battery to hit these infantry hard?"
After thinking about it, King Chuang nodded and said, "No problem, just... I don't know if the director team will..."
"Just do your thing!" I said, "As for how the director team makes a decision, that's their problem!"
"Yes!" King Chuang responded, and immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and started calling the mortar company.
"Fire the whole company!" Wang Chuang shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Target 'enemy' infantry. Grenade instant fuse, No. 4 charge, ruler xxx, interval 7 seconds; No. 3 charge, ruler xxx, interval 6 seconds
; No. 2 charge, ruler xxx, 3 rounds landed at the same time..."
When King Chuang said "three rounds hit the ground at the same time", he deliberately emphasized his tone and yelled at the observers around him, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't understand... But this trick seemed to work. When the observers heard this,
Only then did he realize what Chuang Wang was trying to do, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time!
At this time, Chuang Wang looked at the stopwatch in his hand and shouted into the microphone: "Ready... release!"
After a few seconds, he yelled "Let it go!"
…
I pretended to be relaxed and handed the observer a cigarette and said: "Comrade... you may not believe that this mortar can be fired three times at different times but it can land at the same time... This is Staff Li's specialty.
, the No. 4 charge is loaded with four additional charge packs, which can shoot the shell higher, and the No. 3 charge can shoot lower... As long as the time interval is correct, these three shells will land at the same time!
"
I knew this principle from Chuang Wang before, which means that not only rifled guns can be fired like this, but mortars can also be fired like this, but there will be some differences in the data... For example, the preparation time of rifled guns is ten
Seconds, and the mortar preparation time is only five seconds.
"Oh!" The observer nodded awkwardly, wanting to record something in his notebook but not knowing how.
"You may need this!" King Chuang handed the observer a piece of paper with the charge numbers, scale data and interval time of the three batches of shells written on it: "Report these to the director team and let them do the math.
Did the three rounds hit the ground at the same time? Did the impact point be where the Red Army infantry was just now?"
"Yeah!" The observer blushed and took the data, and immediately hid aside to report to the director team.
So the results came out quickly. The Red Army's two platoons were reduced by two-thirds... There was a cheer immediately in the headquarters.
"Battal Commander!" At this time, Ding Chengdong reported to me from a few meters away: "The Red Army armored forces are attacking, with twenty tanks and eleven armored transport vehicles... The tanks are in front and the transport vehicles are behind, heading towards the right wing of our army along the open field.
Push forward!”
"The Red Army infantry on the left wing and the front are also approaching at a faster pace!" Zhao Jingping pointed to several red arrows on the map and said: "It seems that the Sixth Battalion wants to put pressure on us from several sides at the same time, but it is not trying to defeat us in one fell swoop!"
I immediately ordered: "The second platoon is responsible for the left wing, the third platoon, and the fourth platoon are responsible for Hill 323! Each platoon commands an artillery company and uses artillery fire to block the Red Army's attack!"
"Yes!" The order was quickly conveyed by the staff officers.
This is the benefit of our training during this period...Every unit will undoubtedly indicate the coordinates for the artillery unit, so I don't have to worry about whether these platoons have artillery observers, or whether they can get in touch with long-range artillery fire...
These things have been trained countless times before, and it is undoubtedly as easy for them as pinching a snail with three fingers.
So at this time we actually had too many infantrymen, and there was no need for three platoons... All they had to do was use binoculars to see where the enemies were concentrated, and then guide the artillery shells to hit that place.
This is what I said before... The first function of infantry should be scouts. If some lucky "enemies" can rush through the barrage... then they will be infantry.
Of course, this is an exercise... so we can't fire real artillery shells. Instead, we just give instructions to the long-range artillery units in the rear, and the observers report the data one by one. As for whether the artillery has the quality to execute the orders we give.
...Of course there are observers who report to the director team.
It is obvious that as long as the director team matches these coordinates with the coordinates of the Red Army troops... they will be surprised to find that if the Red Army infantry hides on the reverse slope and does not charge, it will be fine, but as soon as they charge up, they will be attacked by the Blue Army.
Precise bombing of long-range artillery fire... Although the speed of our infantry's coordinate observation is not fast, these things can be prepared in advance.
Moreover, the director team should still clearly remember that when the Red Army shelled the Blue Army not long ago, a long-range artillery blast from the Red Army was able to kill and injure more than half of a Blue Army platoon scattered on the 323 anti-slope position, so now
...Our long-range artillery fire was directed at the Red Army's heads, and if there were any casualties at this time...it would undoubtedly be self-defeating, and it would be too obvious.
Therefore, the results were judged one by one, and the casualties of the Red Army were getting bigger and bigger as they charged... This directly caused the Red Army to be suppressed on the other side and not dare to take the lead.
"Batalion Commander!" Ding Chengdong asked at this time: "Is it time for our tank troops to take action..."
I didn't answer, but asked instead: "How is the condition of the Red Army armored transport vehicles?"
"Only one has a problem!" Zhao Jingping replied: "But they seem to know the flaws of the armored transport vehicles, so they don't advance very fast!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and said, "Use mortars to urge them... Let them drive faster!"
"Yes!" King Chuang responded and immediately walked to the walkie-talkie to start giving instructions.
Now all the focus is on the armored force of the Red Army... If they can successfully eat up our tank force and penetrate behind the 323, then the Red Army still has a chance to make a comeback. On the contrary, if it is this Red Army
If the armored forces fail or win miserably, the Red Army can be considered a loser.
But considering the close connection between the Red Army tanks and armored vehicles, and the fact that the Red Army tanks are more numerous than ours... so this is not a good time for our tanks to attack.
Soon there was another mortar fire, and Zhu Yuan reported it through the observer... In this round of shelling, the Red Army was judged to have lost two armored vehicles... Although the mortars could not destroy the tanks, they were more than enough to deal with the armored vehicles.
Especially the armor is famous for its thin skin and big stuffing... The armor is thin, but it can hold a lot of people inside. An armored vehicle can hold thirteen people. So if it hits one, a whole squad of infantrymen will be gone.
So the Red Army's armored forces quickly became anxious... It wouldn't work if they were not in a hurry. If they continued to push forward so slowly, although there would be no problems with the armored transport vehicles, they would probably be blown up by mortars when they arrived.
Got a car.
This is also the weakness of the Type 63 armored transport vehicle. The advantage of this thing is its mobility. If it drives fast, it will be difficult for the enemy to hit the target, but if the armor is thin and it drives slowly... then it is actually an iron coffin.
.
So the Red Army armored forces immediately sped up... However, problems soon appeared. As the correspondents reported one after another, the number of armored vehicles withdrawing from the exercise due to malfunctions was also increasing. In addition, the mortar company was in Chuang Wang's
Under the command, I chased those armored vehicles all the way and bombed them, only to defeat those armored vehicles, which were defeated and unable to move in the open field full of bomb craters, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
At this time, I nodded and said to Ding Chengdong: "Let's do it!" (To be continued...)
