"About this matter!" Commander Zhang continued, "I think... the one who has the most say should be Comrade Yang Xuefeng..."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to me. Commander Zhang turned his eyes... Everyone turned their eyes to me, waiting for my response.
From this point of view... I think many people may have the same idea as Staff Cao, or with such a hope... I hope to beat the Soviet devils on the border.
But I know... this cannot be said to be hope, but an unrealistic fantasy.
"Say that..." I thought about it and said: "The reason why we have won many battles in the Afghan battlefield is mostly because of geographical advantages, and only a small part is because of human resources..."
"I have to correct this!" Commander Zhang interrupted: "Geographical advantages are one reason. Correct command and reasonable use of these advantages and make up for their strengths and weaknesses are another reason!"
I know that Commander Zhang is praising me... Although I am quite shameless, I still feel a little embarrassed to be praised in front of so many leaders.
Staff Cao continued: "This is what I emphasized... Just as Battalion Commander Yang can defeat the Soviet army with reasonable command in Afghanistan, we can do this too... and we are now
With the experience of fighting the Soviet army again... Of course, Comrade Yang Xuefeng got this. This means... we now know the strengths and weaknesses of ourselves and the enemy... Why can't we find such a kind of person?
What about a strategy or tactic to defeat the Soviet army with a long attack on the other side?”
After General Cao said this, Commander Zhang didn't know how to answer, so he turned his eyes to me again... This is his habit, throwing all the hot potatoes to me... I've been used to it for a long time!
"Theoretical..." I nodded and said, "What Staff Cao said is correct!"
After saying this, not only other cadres were surprised, but even Commander Zhang's eyes were puzzled.
"But that's just a theory!" I changed my mind and continued: "The battlefield is by no means a theory. On the battlefield, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy... If you can find a way to attack with your own strength in practice
Their weakness and can effectively block the Soviet offensive strategy and tactics... Of course there will be no problem! Otherwise... we will only take active defense according to the original strategy, and only in this way can our losses be minimized!
”
As soon as I said this, all the cadres nodded...
"Comrade Yang Xuefeng is right. We have no better way to stop the Soviet army's attack now!"
"If you want to say anything... active defense is the best way to do it now!"
"To change the strategy of active defense, you have to propose an alternative solution!"
...
This is the theory...theory, there is no best but only better...so I have always emphasized that "active defense" is the best...it can't convince people.
But I can change the method... that is, kick the ball to Staff Cao... If you think "active defense" is not good enough, come up with another better solution!
Now it was Staff Cao's turn to make things difficult for him. He thought about it and replied: "I... I just proposed such a possibility. We can discuss it together... See if Captain Yang's tactics in Afghanistan are there?
What place can be transferred here... The Soviet army also invaded Afghanistan, and if we want to attack us, it will also invade. There are many similarities..."
"Staff Chief Cao!" I said: "You have to know... the terrain of Afghanistan has made the Soviet supply line under the long-term attack of guerrillas. The Soviet army can only maintain a 100,000 troops in Afghanistan... and the Afghan highlands are basically
I think you have also seen this in the report... Simply put, the Soviet army's modern equipment is ineffective, such as armored vehicles, tanks, and other modern equipment.
If you want to win, you must give up modern equipment and face-to-face combat with the Afghan guerrillas. All they can do is to have the advantage of is individual equipment and air power!
but……
What if the Soviet army attacked China from north to south?
First of all, the Soviet army had a wide supply line, and the Soviet army could fully mobilize domestic manpower and material resources to support a large number of troops to attack with all their strength.
Secondly, their modern equipment will not be restricted by the terrain, and their air power will no longer cooperate with the infantry on the ground like Afghanistan, but will also form a system with tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, etc.
This will increase significantly in combat effectiveness!
And what about us? I am not growing up and ambitious to destroy my might... Many tactics have matured in the Soviet troops, but our army has just started... and with the decline in equipment, I really can't think of it
Is there any way to keep them out of the country!"
"Comrade Yang Xuefeng is right!" Chief Cao nodded and said, "But what I want to say is... Battalion Commander Yang can't think of it, but it doesn't mean that no one else can think of it... What I mean is to focus on thinking and discuss it.
!”
I suddenly felt that this Staff Chief Cao could not defeat... because he had no focus, or... the key he gave was illusory and non-existent, and it needed everyone to work together to think of it...
What's even more serious is that many cadres or troops now have many soldiers... because the Soviet Union was defeated by a battalion commander in Afghanistan and was defeated by guerrillas. So his mentality changed like Staff Cao!
Before... the Soviet army is our big brother! Almost all of our equipment is imitated by the Soviet Union, and it will naturally be shorter in momentum. Just like our agents even entered Afghanistan...
...It was only after a few battles that I adjusted!
Now... I think many soldiers will think... We only send one battalion of people to train Afghan guerrillas... This will make the Soviet devils into various miserable situations. Are we not as good as Afghan
Guerrillas?
So... what I have to face is not just staff officer Cao, but a kind of underestimation and some unrealistic fantasy that gradually grows among cadres and even the troops.
"Let's do it!" Just when I didn't know how to respond, Commander Zhang replied: "What Staff Cao said is not unreasonable... As for what the Soviet army was like, we just read the report or read it.
Looking at the data, not everything is accurate…”
After hearing this, I realized that... A mentality of underestimating the enemy will grow in the army may not only be related to my victory, but also to the "accuracy" of this report!
"I'm on my hands..." Commander Zhang continued: "There is a unit similar to the Soviet army..."
As he said that, Commander Zhang raised his head at me and said, "Maybe you have guessed it, it is the synthetic camp in Comrade Yang Xuefeng's hands... Can you fight? Let's understand after practicing it!"
"Um!" I couldn't help but be surprised when I listened to Commander Zhang's words... It turned out that Commander Zhang asked our Synthetic Battalion to train in the Soviet army, and there was this purpose!
Then I quickly sighed in my heart... Commander Zhang is really scheming! Maybe he had known that there was such a mentality of underestimating the enemy and some voices in the army that overturned the "level defense" strategy. He just wanted to use our synthetic battalion
Come and block these people's mouths!
"I said Lao Zhang!" Commander Zhang said this and Commander Huang had some opinions: "No one of us knows that this synthetic battalion is an elite soldier and powerful general who has experienced many battles. Comrade Yang Xuefeng is also full of wisdom and tricks... The Soviet devils are
If you lose to them, you will let them play the Soviet army... I'm afraid it's not suitable!"
"Yes!" Some cadres agreed: "Let the synthetic battalion play the Soviet army... Even if our army loses, it means that we can't beat the Soviet army!"
"I think it's very suitable!" Commander Zhang put the documents in his hand on the table and replied: "First, the synthetic battalion is not as equipped as the Soviet army; secondly, the synthetic battalion has been trained for a short time, which is obviously inferior to the Soviet army; secondly, the synthetic battalion has not been trained for a short time, and it is obviously inferior to the Soviet army; secondly, the synthetic battalion is not as equipped as the Soviet army;
The Soviet army's tactics are all written in this document... If the synthetic battalion wants to perform the Soviet army, it will naturally use the Soviet army's tactics... Lao Huang, do you still think the synthetic battalion has taken advantage of?"
Commander Huang thought about it and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense... Especially for this air force, our Zhiwu Bing is much worse than other people's Mi8 and Mi24! If... in this situation...
We can't even defeat the combined battalion, let alone the Soviet army! It's okay...it's decided! Just think it's a warm-up before the official military exercise! What do you think, comrades?"
"No problem!" A cadre nodded and said, "It just so happens... we can also observe the combat style of the synthetic battalion on site, and also learn the tactics of the Soviet army... I even think it is necessary to organize cadres from various troops to learn and communicate.
, This is much more vivid and intuitive than reading a report!”
"This idea is very good!" Commander Huang nodded and said, "In this way... all troops can also prepare for future exercises better, clearly know what kind of enemies they are facing during the exercises, and have
Make targeted decisions to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses...but Comrade Yang Xuefeng will be under greater pressure..."
I know what pressure Commander Huang is talking about... This exercise certainly has many benefits to the Red Army, but in turn, for us troops destined to play the Blue Army... that is undoubtedly a possibility
Tactics tell the enemy that it can even be said to be training the enemy to deal with it!
But it's all said that... what else can I say?
I had no choice at all, so I had to stand up and answer: "No problem! I firmly obey the order!"
