PS: I’m late playing with my classmates. This chapter is a make-up for last night. It will be updated normally from today on.
There are few cadres who object to the training of parachute. After all, the soldiers are all people who have come from the battlefield in Afghanistan. They also know that rappel is often restricted by conditions and sometimes is not suitable for use, so parachute becomes
It's very necessary.
But these things don't seem to require me to care too much... I believe that Zhao Jingping and other staff can do a good job in this matter. On the one hand, I am very satisfied with the training plan and results formulated by the staff department.
On the other hand, it was because Zhao Jingping and other staff officers had also been to Afghanistan... Speaking of which, the purpose of taking so many staff officers with me at that time was not only to let them assist me in commanding, but also to let them experience the battlefield in person.
Various tactics of modern troops like the Soviet devils...
This seems to be the original intention of Commander Zhang in sending us to the Afghan battlefield... There is a saying that "what you learn on paper will never be shallow, but you will never know that you must do it". If you read reports or learn combat experience from others, etc.
, we have never experienced the depth of fighting the Soviet devils in person, and as enemies of the Soviet devils... we have more opportunities to understand their tactics.
It's just a bit regretful that... the performance of the Soviet devils on the battlefield in Afghanistan was not as good as we imagined, and it can even be said that the staff officers were a little disappointed.
Just like Ding Chengdong said... "The Soviet devils are not very good at fighting. The soldiers are greedy for life and fear death. The tanks don't know how to cooperate with the infantry. I don't think the Soviet devils can fight well!"
The staff officers all agreed with what Ding Chengdong said. After all, the staff officers were all veterans who had participated in the self-defense counterattack, and they knew how fierce the Japanese were in fighting... Only a few, such as Zhao Jingping, felt that this was just because of Su.
The army was affected by the terrain of Afghanistan, and the Soviet army had basically fought regular battles in history and had no experience in guerrilla warfare.
The views of Zhao Jingping and others are of course correct, but I think it is incomplete... The reason why the Soviet army and the Vietnamese army feel that the Vietnamese army is stronger in the eyes of many staff officers... A considerable part of the reason is that the Chinese army has always been particular about
"Not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of hardship." Because Vietnam is a poor country and has been in a state of war for a long time, and the Vietnamese army is greatly influenced by our army... Many of Vietnam's ace troops were directly trained by China on the Sino-Vietnamese border during the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Vietnam.
, equipment. They entered Vietnam to participate in the war later, so the fighting style of the Vietnamese army naturally also has the side of "not afraid of sacrifice and not afraid of hardship".
On the other hand, the Soviet Army...because a large number of them are new soldiers and are accustomed to living a life of enjoyment, and the Soviet Army is fighting in other countries...its mentality and morale are naturally from another angle, so this performance is different from that of Vietnam.
The military is a completely different matter.
This also makes our trip to Afghanistan, in addition to feeling the advanced and powerful Soviet weapons and equipment... there is not much to learn in terms of tactics. The terrain in Afghanistan is not suitable for large-scale armored forces, artillery units and infantry coordination.
, coupled with the fact that the Soviet army was extremely unadapted to the terrain of Afghanistan... the polar bears went to fight in the hot and arid desert areas. It is strange that they were adapted. So there is nothing worth learning in this regard.
But there is one exception... that is the coordination between air power and infantry. This is also a common method used by the Soviet army to attack the Chigeo Valley, especially the cooperation between helicopters, infantry and paratroopers... You must know that before this, our army was
The main purpose is to develop the army, so these tactics have opened the eyes of Zhao Jingping and his staff, and it is imperative to learn and train such tactics.
Because of their previous training experience, Zhao Jingping and others were very familiar with parachute training at this time...
First of all, a group of paratroopers were transferred from our army's airborne force...of course. Following this group of paratroopers were several cadres who were excellent in all aspects. This group of paratroopers consisted of a company, and the cadre who led them was a battalion commander.
Plus a few staff officers.
This process took a lot of twists and turns... The main reason was that the airborne troops did not have the will.
At first they only promised to send us a few coaches... Zhao Jingping said no, we must send a company...
Zhao Jingping's request is of course justified... This is not a pretense of forming a battalion, but past training experience tells us that only when the soldiers teach one-on-one in person can we learn faster, and there will be many of them.
Practical combat experience will be imparted unconsciously due to the collaborative training of lower-level soldiers. Sometimes the small experiences of the soldiers are even more important than what is taught in the textbooks... These small experiences are often simple and practical, so they are particularly valuable.
But it sounds uncomfortable to the airborne troops... Your synthetic battalion is amazing. To learn how to skydive, you need to send a company from our army to teach you one-on-one...
However, because the superiors had orders... this was a task that the airborne troops had to complete, so they swallowed it hard... one company at a time, anyway, the airborne troops have no tasks now, so they are idle when they are idle.
With.
So I quickly reported the list of a company and was ready to send it to the base at any time...
But Zhao Jingping looked at the list and information and said no... The one with the highest rank in the list was the company commander. It didn't matter whether the officer was high or small, as long as he was good... But the company commander had no staff, so in the end he sent a battalion
The commander will bring two more staff officers.
There is no problem with what Zhao Jingping said... We are not just training. During the training, the staff also communicates with the staff of the paratroopers, and then carries out targeted training subjects to start training, so as to achieve combat effectiveness in the shortest time.
There is even the learning and application of parachute tactics.
But the airborne troops became furious as soon as they heard about it... Damn, the parachuting training of a combined battalion has become a big deal. It's not enough to send a company of soldiers there, and the battalion commander is asked to be a staff officer!
So all kinds of non-cooperation and various excuses came out...
For example, "The training of the airborne troops is relatively tight during this period, the tasks are relatively heavy, and so many people cannot be dispatched at the moment", or "We are recruiting people. The quality of our airborne troops is not as good as that of your combined battalion. I want to find a company."
Excellent talents... are in trouble!"
…
In short, there are a lot of excuses. The Chinese people are very good at wrangling, and sometimes you don’t know how to blame them because of the excuses they give.
But of course all this cannot be hidden from Zhao Jingping's eyes... Just kidding, he has gradually risen from a small soldier to a staff officer of the Military Region General Staff Headquarters. Playing this trick with him is tantamount to playing tricks...
So after Zhao Jingping made a phone call... the manpower we needed quickly arrived at the base by helicopter.
The man who led this airborne force was a battalion commander named Chen... He was dark and thin. Later I learned that being thin had an advantage in airborne troops. At this time, the paratroopers equipped by our army still belonged to the first generation of 112 paratroopers.
Parachute... A paratrooper plus his own weight almost reaches the maximum carrying capacity of the parachute. The impact force when the paratrooper lands is quite large... It is said to reach 40 kilograms, so it is common for paratroopers to suffer fractures during training.
thing.
Looking at the information, we know that the battalion commander named Chen Shengde is a veteran and has a good grasp of various parachute techniques. What is especially important is... under his guidance, the number of training accidents in his battalion is the lowest
’s... This is why Zhao Jingping and I are very satisfied with him. I don’t want the agent company I carefully trained... to be unable to go to the battlefield because of injuries during parachute training. That is not only the soldiers
A kind of loss, it is also a loss for our troops and even the country.
It's just that Battalion Commander Chen had a dark face when he came... It's actually wrong to say that he had a dark face. Whether Zhao Jingping asked him to rest or something, he simply said "yes" and followed it meticulously.
, including the three staff officers he brought.
I knew very well that they were in a mood... so they obeyed orders on the surface, but didn't take us seriously in their hearts.
Later I found out... In fact, it was not just them, but the entire company sent by the airborne troops was like this... There were three no's circulating among them, namely: "no cooperation, no communication, no conflict"...
To put it simply, they are like machines, they can do whatever they are asked to do. Even when they teach the synthetic battalion parachute training, they are still following the script...but they will never exchange experience with our synthetic battalion.
How awesome is this?!
We must know that our goal is to learn various parachuting skills quickly and well, but now these "masters" have adopted such a negative attitude... It is strange to learn well and quickly!
Later I learned that there is actually a reason why these airborne troops have such a bad temper... Just like the airborne troops of the Soviet devils are the most elite troops, our army's airborne troops also select the best quality from the infantry.
Soldiers joined.
This airborne force was established in 1950... You must know that the civil war had just ended at that time, and the soldiers in each unit were all from fighting against Japan and the Kuomintang... At this time, superiors transferred them from the army.
A group of combat heroes and model squad platoon cadres formed this airborne force... Because the conditions initially required were too harsh, it was not enough to draw more than 5,000 people out of the millions of soldiers in the army, so in the end they had to let go
Low threshold...If there are not enough, outstanding fighters will be selected.
It is said that at that time, this army of more than 5,000 people... accounted for 88% of the party members and 93% of the fighting heroes...
After the 1960s...the 15th Army, which fought in the Battle of Shangganling during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and produced heroes like Huang Jiguang, were directly incorporated into the airborne troops.
For a unit like this...being ordered around by our combined battalion like this...it would be weird not to get a little angry!
