The exercises between the two companies are just small exercises, and we often conduct confrontational training between companies, so we only need to prepare for half a day and start quickly.
The reason why I had to prepare for a long time is that this was a live-fire exercise. As the director team's adviser, Zhao Jingping and other staff members must carefully design a plan to stagger the red and blue armies in time or space.
On the other hand, because this exercise was carried out on a bridge and beam as the center... In order to make the exercise realistic and as close as possible to actual combat, the bridge and beam were requisitioned a steel bridge outside the suburbs. For this reason, Commander Zhang also contacted him specially.
The Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation (Note: The Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation is a modern traffic policeman) closed down all sections of roads in front and back of the bridge, and all vehicles and pedestrians took a detour.
I feel a little embarrassed about this, just because I want to do an exercise on a whim, and it has made such a big fuss.
But Commander Zhang thought it was worth it, just as he said: "This exercise is very meaningful. It not only reveals the shortcomings of the airborne troops, but also allows the agent company to learn the tactics of the airborne troops during the confrontation of this exercise.
And advantages and disadvantages, more importantly, it can provide directional guidance for the development of paratroopers in the synthetic battalion!"
Commander Zhang is really right. I really need to know clearly what shortcomings and shortcomings of our army's airborne equipment are, so that it can be reformed or improved in a targeted manner. Compared with this strategic goal, it will allow the people to move around.
A little road is nothing.
The Blue Army simulates the rear of the Vietnamese army... There is a characteristic in the rear, which is that it is not very vigilant and its forces are also very dispersed. So we intend to disperse an agent to seven or eight high grounds. That is, a high ground
One squad, the key part is that two squads are placed near the bridge and beam. In addition, in order to better discover the shortcomings of the airborne troops in terms of tank defense and armor protection, we also equipped the Blue Army with two tanks and four armored vehicles.
Needless to say, the Red Army naturally used paratroopers to airborne near the bridge and beam to capture and blow up the bridge and beam.
It should be said that this mission is no longer necessary in the current war, and bombers can be dispatched, but the war between China and Vietnam has not invested in air force, so this exercise is actually of practical value.
Chen Shengde is worthy of being a battalion commander of an airborne troop. His combat plan is to use two squads to airdrop to the southern end of Qiaoliang to conduct restraining activities, and the other two volleys to airdrop to the northern end of Qiaoliang to attack.
This strategic idea is undoubtedly correct. Their goal is to explode the bridge, so they just need to take one side and have enough time to place explosives. So, concentrating the superior forces at one end of the bridge will of course
Take advantage of it.
Originally, I thought the airborne troops were also elite soldiers selected from the troops. These elite soldiers were different from other troops... When other troops were farming and doing infrastructure, they were training, but just like Chen Shengde said.
In this way, most of the training carried out by these paratroopers is also infantry subjects.
However, after all, they also have training, so it is naturally better than those soldiers who have never even shot guns several times at the beginning of the self-defense counterattack.
It is precisely because of this that I think even if the airborne troops lose, it will not lose too ugly.
But the result was far beyond my expectations...
The two platoons of the airborne troops attacked the Blue Army, which was stationed at Qiaotou, could not capture it for a long time. As a result, when the Blue Army's tanks and armored vehicles arrived, the Red Army was soon wiped out. The Blue Army's casualties were estimated.
At most, there will be no more than twenty.
"Oh!" Chen Shengde sighed. Although he had expected this result, he did not expect that he would lose so badly, which made them a little unable to raise their heads in the conference room.
"Battleman Commander Chen!" I comforted me: "Actually you don't need to care too much. We are equipped with ak74 and also equipped with many sniper rifles. The equipment of the Japanese invaders is not as good as ours!"
It should be said that these two equipment played a decisive role in the battlefield. The range and accuracy of the ak74 are far greater than the Type 56 submachine guns equipped by the airborne troops. In addition, the two anti-aircraft machine guns at the bridgehead make the airborne troops unable to even get close to the Blue Army.
A line of defense composed of squads.
Not to mention the svd sniper rifle, it can even suppress the Red Army's mortars.
In this era, our military used the Type 63 60mm mortar, which has a maximum range of less than 1,500 meters. And what we are talking about here is the maximum range. In fact, due to quality problems, it can hit it in about 1,000 meters.
The goal is good.
Therefore, this kind of mortar is often used by infantry for close combat... The range of this kilometer is not close, nor is it far. If it is farther away, you can also use artillery observers to guide them to fire blindly.
If the artillery observer is required to cooperate at a distance of one thousand meters, it would be a waste, and the reaction is not fast enough to fight, so I simply pulled it to the front of the position to fight.
This gave Blue Army snipers a good opportunity, and because the airborne troops are not equipped with many mortars, the range of 82-No is also within the range of the Blue Army sniper rifle.
In other words, the "heavy weapons" carried by the Red Army were basically suppressed by snipers or anti-aircraft machine guns, while the charge of the Red Army soldiers seemed vulnerable under the firepower of the AK74 and the squad machine guns.
"Captain Yang, don't pick up something nice!" Chen Shengde sighed again and said, "Although the equipment of the Yue Japanese may not be as good as you, with such casualties, I am afraid that it will be against the Yue Japanese Japanese if you are facing such a casualty ratio.
It's not much better! Besides, our enemy also has the Soviet devils. If we fight with the Soviet devils, their equipment will be better than you! Then what else can we do on the battlefield?!"
I have nothing to say after Chen Shengde said this, because what he said is true. Such a war loss ratio cannot be satisfactory in any case.
After thinking about it, I came to a conclusion: "We must comprehensively strengthen the equipment of the paratroopers!"
"I've considered it!" Zhao Jingping said: "The AK74 equipped by our army is very suitable for paratroopers because it has the characteristics of lightness and shortness, and the range and accuracy are quite good! The SVD sniper rifle is a bit longer, but it's a problem to carry.
It's not very big. In these aspects, we have an advantage over Battalion Commander Chen's airborne troops, but with heavy equipment above heavy machine guns, we will encounter the same problems as the airborne troops!"
This is indeed a difficult problem, and it seems that you can only wait for Li Li to imitate a new umbrella tool, but this umbrella tool... you don't need to think about it and know that it will not be able to solve it so quickly. (To be finished)
