The training work went smoothly because the combat quality of the Afghan guerrillas was actually quite good and their learning ability was also very strong.
This was beyond my expectations, but when I thought about it, I felt that there was nothing strange... This may be the commonality of the people in the war-torn areas... I grew up in the war, so I have never eaten pork and I have seen it.
With pigs and various forces in Afghanistan, the struggle between tribes has never stopped, so there may not be many other things, but there are still two ways to fight.
This is a bit like the people who grew up in the eight-year war of resistance. At that time, there was a warlord melee, a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, followed by a war of resistance against Japan, and then a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party... After decades of fighting intermittently, many people
Just watching guns and cannons grow up... In this way, fighting is familiar to them, and life and death are common in battle... So they can quickly adapt to the war and
Entering a state of war.
This is actually how human nature is. If you live in a peaceful world for a long time, you will feel terrible and fearful when you see murder or killing yourself. But if you live in a war-torn world, you will fight every once in a while.
, from time to time, I would see murder... I quickly became accustomed to it over time, and my personality would naturally ignore life... This kind of indifference to life is not only about other people's lives, but also about one's own lives.
But this is exactly what the battlefield needs... ignoring other people's lives on the battlefield means being cruel to the enemy, and ignoring one's own lives on the battlefield means being brave!
This is the case with the Afghan guerrillas... In this era, the average life expectancy of Afghans is only 42 years old. It is conceivable that they are full of death everywhere, so they have long regarded death very indifferently, even because of their living environment.
Too hardships, many people regard death as a kind of relief.
As for their learning speed, it should be...
On the one hand, it is because there have been guns... This is what Hassan told me, because there are often fighting among tribes or defending against bandit looting, and the people also have organizational training.
On the other hand, it is because of people's instinct to survive... they came out of war-torn countries, so they knew very well that not learning these abilities would mean death and would mean being eliminated...
I think there is another reason that they also have a belief that they are supporting, that is, to regain their homes and drive the Soviets out.
In short... Even if the Afghan guerrillas do not train, their individual soldiers are still more qualifying than ordinary troops in our country... This really makes me feel a little ashamed, but it is not surprising, because most of our soldiers grew up in the era of peace. And basically,
No training.
Therefore, what the Afghan guerrillas lack is not the ability to fight individually, but a kind of coordination, an organized and disciplined norm... Simply put, it is unity!
This is probably the characteristic of the guerrillas... They do not have the awareness of resolutely executing orders, but show their magical powers when fighting... You hit yours, I hit mine. As long as they can kill the enemy, it will be right.
As for the squad, platoon tactics, battalion and company tactics, or the coordination of various units, they know nothing about it.
In view of these characteristics of the guerrillas... our training focus is naturally not on individual tactics. Of course, individual tactics are also needed, because the individual tactics of guerrillas are uneven... Most of their individual tactics are fighting.
It was summarized by myself.
In a certain aspect, most of the individual tactics summarized in actual combat are very practical... Can withstand the test of actual combat? But it is not all practical, because everyone has different personalities and ideas.
Different, different situations will be different, so different people will come to different conclusions about the same approach.
For example... A guerrilla often uses stones to build trenches on the battlefield, and he was not injured in several battles, so he came to the conclusion that stones can block bullets well. Another guerrilla also uses stones to build trenches.
, but found that once the stones were bombarded, they would fly everywhere and increase the lethality of the shells, and even he was injured... So he concluded that stones could not be used to build trenches.
There are many situations like this. What we need to do in individual tactics is to unify the conclusions of the guerrillas and explain in detail why this is happening until the guerrillas are convinced... This process
It is not difficult, because our army has rich combat experience. We can give a large number of examples to prove the pros and cons of each tactic. Among them, there are even soldiers who use their scars to prove it...
"Look! My scar was injured because I was hiding behind a tree!" A soldier pointed to several scratches on his stomach and said, "I thought that tree could block the enemy's sight and bullets... but no
I thought that AK47 has a strong penetration power. It not only can penetrate trees, but also makes many broken wood pieces because of bullets rolling... These broken wood pieces were inserted into my stomach!"
"So!" Another soldier would summarize at this time: "It is okay to use trees as cover, but it is best to lie on the ground and stick the gun and head out of one side of the tree... This can minimize the
Exposed area!”
At this time, the Afghan guerrillas always nodded frequently... They can all be said to have been on the battlefield, so there is no need to experiment at all. Imagine that the soldiers are right.
Another benefit of this exchange of combat experience is that... the Afghan guerrillas have gained a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of our troops.
Just like what Vadud said before... Later I learned that the name Vadud means "a person who loves everyone", and Vadud is indeed worthy of his name... because he always says for everyone that he does not want to or
It is something that is inconvenient to say, that is, it means being a bad person for everyone and being a person himself.
Just like last time, many people in the guerrillas were skeptical about the training method of standing in line, but they kept it in mind... Vadud made his debut.
But although Vadud lost last time, he lost a lot... but this does not mean that the Afghan guerrillas have no doubts about us... They will still wonder if these Chinese are just good at shooting skills.
, but I have never fought a war? You should know that fighting is not enough for good marksmanship!
This is how people's minds are. If they are suspicious, unless you can completely convince him, he will always think in a bad direction.
This problem was solved when the soldiers communicated with the Afghans and explained individual tactics... The reason is that the soldiers had to explain it with a large number of battle examples and personal experience on the battlefield. In this process, we will definitely talk about our past fights.
The battles I have passed... Although this is a kind of digression, I allow it to develop. Sometimes I even encourage the soldiers to talk more, treating these battle examples as stories or combat experience... I can tell you the best!
So these Afghans suddenly realized... Oh, it turns out that this Chinese army has fought wars, and has fought such a big battle... They can block the enemy with one company on the battlefield... How many people are there in a regiment?
Two or three thousand people... more than one hundred people can block two, three thousand people?!
This is almost a fantasy for the Afghan guerrillas. Their guerrillas... They fight on their own. It is enough to be proud to be able to defeat twice their enemies in a fierce battle, but we
Can defeat enemies ten times more than oneself...
But what we say is reasonable and well-founded, and even in terms of details, and what each warrior says will be correct... This makes them have to believe it.
This time, the Afghan guerrillas felt relieved, so our subsequent training became very smooth... Hassan and the guerrillas were just obedient to us... There was no more defense or doubts in our hearts.
I personally have a deep understanding of this... For example, when in class, if you hate a certain teacher, you always disagree with what he says and always want to make any mistakes. On the contrary, if you like or admire a certain teacher, you will always be fine.
A teacher... Then even if he occasionally says something wrong, he will feel excused.
Now we... are very lucky to be the teacher that these Afghans like and admire.
Actually, this is not a lucky one... On the one hand, it is because we do have real skills, and on the other hand, it is because we are Chinese... As Chinese, they are considered trustworthy friends by Pakistanis, and Pakistan and Afghans are also
Muslims...then they will naturally affect Afghans.
Besides... We have been helping Afghan refugees continuously before, which also gives them a good impression, and they also respect their religious beliefs... Sahide and other translators are Muslims, so we are very clear about Afghans.
custom.
Together, these aspects... it will be difficult for the Afghan guerrillas to not like us.
During this period, I also inquired about the training situation at the US base, but the news I got made me laugh and cry... The guerrillas at the US base are more keen on getting the equipment and funds of the US military, and as for training, they are completely perfunctory.
Many guerrillas even lost their guns the first day after they were picked up on the second day... The answer I got was that they needed money, so they sold the guns! They only made those Americans so angry that they were half-hearted.
But this is true... because when I passed Peshawar, I saw many Afghans selling American M16... their guerrillas are drug dealers and addicts, so I'm just one thing about this.
