Finally, I waited for the day to walk onto the exercise venue...
We have been training in the base this month, training and training!
This can be said to be the most purposeless exercise for us, because we can be said to know nothing about the 391st Regiment... It is not right to say that we know nothing. We can collect it from previous newspapers or reports.
Some words about the 391st Group, but we know that this doesn’t work much... We are also people who have been in newspapers and have reported, of course we know that there is too much artistic processing in it, so reading these newspapers or reports is essentially
I can't see anything.
When I wanted to know more about the 391st Regiment... That's what Commander Zhang told me...
"You are the Blue Army, playing the imaginary enemy... And the heroic regiment of the 391st Regiment belongs to our army's confidential unit. The information you can get now is very likely the information you can get!"
I was speechless when I heard this... But the facts seemed to be as Commander Zhang said. This did not mean that our army had a strict information or that the Soviet intelligence units were useless... In fact, the Soviet army's KGB
The ability to inquire about intelligence is completely comparable to that of the US military.
The problem is... First of all, the Soviet army in this era looked down on the Eighth Route Army like us. Their main enemy was the United States, and most of the intelligence personnel were targeting the United States.
Secondly, our troops have millions of people, and even Commander Zhang mentioned that there are many confidential units like Mi... Even if the Soviet army wanted to inquire, they didn't know which troops to start inquiring.
Let's go again... I think the most important thing is the artistic processing of newspapers or reports... Soviet intelligence personnel saw the newspaper saying that a certain unit was very excellent, with strong combat effectiveness, etc. After investigation, they found that it was not that way at all.
What's going on, once or twice, I felt the mentality of "the wolf is coming". In the end, I didn't believe that any unit really has the strong combat power as it seems!
From this point of view... journalists and propaganda personnel of this era are still on the front line of confidentiality work and have made great contributions to protecting state secrets!
Given this consideration... we are really not suitable to get too much information about the 391st Regiment.
However, Commander Zhang finally added: "Our army... there are still quite a few cadres who hold the mentality of reporting good news but not bad news or like to do superficial skills. On the other hand... there are also some people.
I hope to inspire the morale of the entire army... In short, there are all reasons. We are all Chinese soldiers, and we all hope that our army can win... So they will deliberately or unintentionally favor the 391st Regiment. This is true.
…you must be mentally prepared!”
I understand Commander Zhang's words... Judging from the information I have, in addition to the original three infantry battalions, the 391st Regiment has at least one artillery battalion, one tank battalion, and two armored companies...
With the original car of the 391st Regiment, this is a mechanized unit. With the density of this equipment... I think no unit of our army can reach it, even our synthetic battalion... Our
The tank troops can only be considered two tank companies!
This is a bit funny to say... We play the Soviet army with an absolute advantage in equipment, but the actual equipment is not as high as the Red Army!
The only thing that the Red Army is at a disadvantage is that they do not have an air force...
It is estimated that the 391st Regiment wanted to be equipped but not equipped... It is not that they could not afford it. Although my country's equipment was not advanced in this era, it was a lot of it, which was truly a lot of quantity and quality... So we will build national defense later. As for the aspect, you just learn to be smart. You either silently study the problem of not having equipment or need equipment... Then you must have reached a certain advanced level. This is the road to development that saves money and is efficient!
So it would be no problem for 391 to equip more than 20 helicopters like us... The problem is that the 391st Regiment cannot integrate these helicopters into their troops in a short period of time to exert their due combat effectiveness.
On the other hand... Everyone knows that our army is too far from the Soviet army in terms of air force. The Soviet Union is now equipped with a large number of MiG 25. The Su-27 entered the stage of mass production in 1979... and our army
The main combat aircraft is still a J-6 made of MiG-19 from the Soviet Union in the 1950s...
Air combat mainly relies on science and technology... If a backward generation of fighter jets confronts the enemy, there will often be situations where "invisible, unable to catch up, unable to fight"... This does not mean that dozens of us besiege the enemy, or
It is enough to train more pilots and train more courageously... The higher the technology, the harder it is to get closer through personnel training. In other words, our fighter jets can basically only be target aircraft of Soviet fighter jets.
...
So... in this situation, everyone knows very well that once the war begins... air supremacy must be in the hands of the Soviet Union, so the Red Army of the 391st Regiment... will be embarrassed to equip any air force again!
At the same time, our training can be said to be the most purposeful...
Just as Commander Zhang said: "You care about the situation of the 391st Regiment? You are going to play the Blue Army and the Soviet devils... What you should know more about is the situation of the Soviet devils!"
I think it’s true when Commander Zhang said this... In this exercise, we are no longer a synthetic battalion, but the Soviet army... We will fight whatever the Soviet army will fight!
But then I was very angry and thought... Do we have spy satellites in the Soviet army? Do we have all kinds of advanced fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, and armed helicopters in the Soviet army? Do we have very complete communication equipment and complete combat
Do we have a system?
But thinking about these questions is obviously useless, so I can only focus on the equipment I currently have to make the Soviet military uniforms look like some of them...
The leader of the 391st Regiment is Liu Guoyan... The first time I saw him was at the first exercise meeting. This time the director team was composed of Commander Huang and several other senior cadres... This seems to be
They were a little lost. The exercises of the two battalions and regiment-level troops are now very common... There were few such exercises before 1979, and more were "big competitions" organized by various military regions.
And after 79 years...there are more and more exercises. The actual combat needs... I have to take serious action when I go to the battlefield. This alone forces the soldiers in the rear to take it seriously!
"Political Commissar!" Commander Huang looked at the documents in his hand and asked an old soldier over 50 next to him, "Look... Is there a problem with the comparison of troops?"
The political commissar took the document and looked at it, then turned around and asked Staff Cao: "Staff Cao... Your regiment... is affiliated with an artillery battalion, a tank battalion, two armored companies, and an engineer battalion... This...
…”
Only then did I realize that Commander Huang and the others did not know that the 391st Regiment had added other troops.
"Commander, political commissar!" Chief Cao replied: "The purpose of our exercise is to simulate the war between the Soviet devils on the defense line of our army... The Soviet Union did have many aircraft, cannons and tanks... But can our army only do it in actual combat
Face all this with infantry? So we think... let our regiment face a synthetic battalion with tanks, armored vehicles, cannons and helicopters with only infantry? This is not fair to our army!"
Commander Huang and Political Commissar Huang nodded and felt that Staff Cao was right.
"It's good!" Commander Huang nodded and said, "Originally we wanted to see how powerful the Soviet army has on our infantry defense line. Our army's troops are still mainly infantry... But now we are also
Going towards the direction of coordination between various military groups, it’s better to do it like this! It’s becoming more and more like actual combat.”
"Is there no problem with this force comparison?" asked the political commissar: "It seems that the 391st Regiment has the advantage!"
"Our country's troops are already larger than the Soviet army!" Chief Secretary Cao replied: "What's more, the Soviet army still has many troops deep in Afghanistan at this time, and the troops they can invest in our direction are very limited! In addition, according to the exercise, they have very limited troops.
The theme... Our Red Army is the defensive side. The Blue Army is the offensive side... The area we want to defend is very large, and the Blue Army only needs to find a breakthrough to attack our defense line... So I think the Red Army is in terms of number of people
It is normal to have an advantage!”
"Yes!" Commander Huang nodded.
I have to admit that what Staff Cao said is somewhat reasonable. The only problem here is... On the real battlefield, a regiment of our army has a way to match a tank battalion, an artillery battalion, armored vehicles and other equipment.
Do you know that at this stage, only one division of our army is equipped with tanks and armored vehicles belonging to an artillery battalion... Although these things are of poor quality, they are regarded as treasures by various troops, and a regiment can match them.
One company is pretty good!
But I didn't say much... As the battalion commander of the Synthetic Battalion and also the commander of the Blue Army, I am not suitable for commenting on the Red Army, which makes people feel that I can't afford to lose...
"Is there any problem with Battalion Commander Yang?" Commander Huang asked me.
"No problem!" I answered.
"Of course there will be no problem with Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, a soldier replied: "They have completely mastered air supremacy and have twenty helicopters... What else can there be a problem with such a big advantage?!"
I couldn't help but be stunned and looked at the soldier a few more times... but I saw that he had a fair face but still masculine spirit, and he looked like a Confucian general... But I don't know why he said this obviously
If there is bias!
"Oh!" Staff Chief Cao introduced: "This is Liu Guoyan, the commander of our 391st Regiment... This is Yang Xuefeng, the commander of the Synthetic Battalion!"
I thought to myself that it turned out to be like this... The leader of the 391st Regiment, no wonder he would say such things!
