"How is it? The training work has been going well recently!" Commander Zhang called me to his headquarters that day.
"It's quite smooth!" I nodded: "It's okay to train our synthetic battalion, but the training of this airborne force is a bit troublesome!"
"Oh?" Commander Zhang asked in confusion after hearing this, "Aren't this airborne troops here to teach you parachuting? Why did you train them instead!"
"That's right!" I replied: "Since the last exercise with the airborne troops, I have found that our airborne troops have great problems in tactics, equipment, etc. The task of our synthetic battalion is to
Don’t other troops provide tactical guidance? Then we now seize the ready-made airborne troops to practice. During this training, we can find some issues that we have not considered, so that we can provide better guidance for the entire airborne troops.
It is also an improvement for ourselves!”
"It makes sense!" Commander Zhang agreed: "In this way, you can communicate better!"
After pausing, Commander Zhang asked again: "What do you think of our airborne troops?"
"This..." I couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this.
"Don't worry," Commander Zhang raised his head at me: "We are in the army and fighting, we must put the problem on the table to discuss. If everyone protects their shortcomings and only says good things, how can we go to the battlefield in the future!
”
"That's right!" I said: "Although this airborne unit is an elite unit of our army, I think their combat effectiveness is not even comparable to that of ordinary units. Of course, there is a reason for this!"
"Yeah, tell me the reason!"
"I think there are two most important reasons!" I said: "One is that it is limited by equipment for a long time. You should know that the airborne troops are formed by backbones of each unit with good quality. Later, they joined the very powerful 15th.
Military. Excellent quality and uninterrupted training, this quality will not be worse than other troops in any case.
However... the airborne troops have their own characteristics. Most of the time they have to airdrop behind enemy lines to fight. In addition, the restrictions on our military umbrellas and transport aircraft have made the airborne troops train mostly under rifle force.
To the extent of light weapons such as guns, it means that it is impossible to perform any step-to-stealing coordination, air-to-stealing coordination, etc. Over time, the airborne troops gradually become a team that is inferior to ordinary infantry.
Force! So it’s no surprise that this combat power will be so unbearable!”
"Yeah!" Commander Zhang nodded: "This does not mean that the airborne troops are not trained hard, nor does it mean that they are not fighting resolutely or bravely. It is because the equipment is seriously out of date. They have been training with this seriously out of date equipment for a long time
, time has become a habit, and even the command is restricted, which has led to their combat effectiveness not only not improving but regressing!"
"Yes!" Commander Zhang's summary came to my heart.
Humans are very strange animals. After staying in a certain environment for a long time, they will gradually get used to nature. This is also the reason why Meng Mu wanted to "move three times". The airborne troops are in the light equipment.
Stay in the environment for too long.
“What is the other reason?”
"The other reason is that I have never been to the battlefield!" I said: "If it is just because I am used to the war with light equipment, it is nothing. Our army still has many troops and soldiers who farm with hoes.
The difference is that they experienced war, and the battle of 799 woke them up, letting them know that war is not as simple as they thought before. They also let them know that modern wars have developed into a new
In the stage, if we do not speed up our pace to adapt... then we are the only ones who are eliminated. So after 79 years, many troops learned their mistakes, and while fighting, they constantly strengthened themselves, changed themselves, and improved themselves, including us
The same is true for this synthetic battalion. However, the airborne troops have never been on the battlefield, have not experienced the cruelty of war, and have not been hit by this kind of impact. So they are still working behind closed doors and training at the door."
Commander Zhang agreed: "It is out of touch with reality and out of touch with the battlefield. In fact, this is not just a matter of airborne troops. We have it in the entire army, but since 1979, there have been troops participating in the battle and now it is short.
In more than two years, it has almost changed!"
Finally, I said: "I don't know what other parts of the airborne troops are like, but from the perspective of this company now, it is not suitable for fighting in all aspects, otherwise there will be many heavy casualties!"
Commander Zhang sighed and said, "The unit sent to our base is already one of the most powerful combat power among the airborne troops. Their combat power is like this. How good can the other parts be? So it must be
We must increase the reform of this airborne force. This airborne force was originally a force we carefully built to carry out major tasks, but we didn’t expect that our combat effectiveness is not as good as the adaptive force now!”
I understand the "major task" that Commander Zhang mentioned. In fact, part of the reason why our army attached so much importance to the development of the airborne troops and was established with elite forces was that it was planned to regain Taiwan.
As for the airborne troops, the transport plane flew there and then airborne it, and there was no need to have naval battles and beach hunting like the navy.
It is precisely because of this that the airborne troops want whatever they want, but who would have thought that the airborne troops today would become like this?
"How do you think we should reform this airborne force?" Commander Zhang then asked.
"I think this should start from two aspects!" I said: "On the one hand, the equipment should be updated as soon as possible for the airborne troops, especially in terms of transport aircraft and umbrella equipment. Of course, individual equipment and heavy equipment are also important.
.On the other hand, there is tactical aspects. I think airborne troops often have to go deep into the enemy's back to perform tasks, which determines that they are often surrounded by the enemy and become lonely. As an isolated army, if there are no other troops
It is difficult to fight with cooperation. Simply put, the airborne troops should develop in the direction of the synthetic battalion. In other words, this lonely army must have its own air, infringement, artillery and other forces, and if possible, it also needs armor.
Strength, and all parts of the airborne troops should be proficient in the coordination of all types of troops. Only in this way can we survive behind enemy lines and complete the task smoothly, otherwise it is very likely that there will be no return!"
"Well, it makes sense!" Commander Zhang nodded: "Developing towards the synthesis battalion is exactly what I think. But... who should I send to reform the airborne troops?
?”
I was stunned when I heard this, and then I soon realized that Commander Zhang was setting up a trap for me... I was so stupid. Commander Zhang was in this base, and there were observers who were tracking the training of our synthesis camp in a solid manner.
,How could he not know the process of training in our synthetic battalion and the airborne troops?
But his purpose today is not this, but to arrange a new task for me, that is, to reform the airborne troops.
Looking at my face, Commander Zhang couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I won't go around in circles with you anymore. I plan to let your Synthetic Battalion stay in the airborne troops for a while. On the one hand, it is to cooperate with the reform of the airborne troops, and
On the one hand, it is also preparing for the upcoming exercise."
“Prepare for the exercise?”
"Yes!" Commander Zhang handed me a cigarette and said, "You know, our Blue Army simulates the Soviet devils. The Soviet devils are both planes, cannons and airborne troops, which can complete this task.
Yes, in addition to your synthetic battalion, it is also the airborne troops. In other words, we plan to let the synthetic battalion and the airborne troops play the role of the Blue Army in the exercise, and at the same time to test the results of your training. How about it?
Let’s have a problem!”
"Commander!" I couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "That's a military..."
"What's wrong with a military force? I'm still a commander!"
"I, I don't mean that..." I said: "This army's people do not mean reforming..."
"Of course it's not easy to reform!" Commander Zhang interrupted me and said, "Otherwise, why are you sent to do it? Why are you sent to do it?"
I couldn't help but talk, and our synthesis camp is still specialized in dealing with difficult problems.
"Don't worry!" Then Commander Zhang comforted me again: "This is not just what I mean, but also the request of the airborne troops!"
“Airborne troops’ requirements?”
"Yes!" Commander Zhang nodded and said, "Your training and reform plan for Chen Shengde has been reported to the airborne troops by Chen Shengde. Commander Xu (pseudonym) of the airborne troops is a person who pays great attention to the development of combat effectiveness. Before you
He realized the problems of the airborne troops and hoped to start reforms, such as allowing the airborne troops to communicate with the infantry that participated in the battle, etc., hoping to achieve the purpose of improving combat effectiveness, but the results were not obvious, and many cadres of the airborne troops seemed to have been in the past
The tactical ideas of the two sides were framed. When I heard that your synthetic battalion had proposed such bold reforms and training for the paratroopers, I contacted me and invited your synthetic battalion to go to the airborne troops for training and guidance."
"I think this is a good thing!" Commander Zhang continued: "On the one hand, it can speed up the pace of military reform, and for your synthetic battalion, it is just a place to train. On the other hand, it can deepen your airborne and landing.
The troops' connection will not be so strange when they come to the exercise field to be both the Blue Army!"
"Oh!" Hearing this, I realized that we had caused this trouble ourselves.
This really corresponds to the old saying "shoot the first bird out of the gun"! (To be continued...)
