The first thing that arrived at the base was a batch of new equipment.
Our training team must look like a training team. The purpose of training is to transform the troops into a force that can adapt to modern warfare. The renewal of equipment is definitely indispensable.
At this point, the airborne troops showed their superiority. Five thousand of these Type 81 assault rifles were transported in one breath, and there were also various improved or newly produced equipment, such as Type 79 snipers
Rifle, Type 78 82mm recoilless cannon, etc.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the 78-82-none type was used in the past. However, after 79 years of battle, it exposed some very fatal shortcomings for recoilless cannons.
For example, the thickness of armor piercing is insufficient and the range is too short. Especially this range is only 300 meters when launching armor piercing missiles.
This directly made the soldiers prefer to bring short, lightweight, low launch requirements when considering dealing with enemy armored troops, so they would rather have a target with a range of 300 meters. The thickness of armor piercing is higher than that of no recoil.
Bazooka. (Note: The thickness of Type 65 82 without armor is 120mm, and the thickness of four zero fire is 150mm)
So this 82 Nothing is destined to need improvement, otherwise it would be a matter of time before it was replaced by a bazooka on the battlefield.
The improved 82-non is the Type 78. This recoil-free gun was designed and finalized in 1979 and has just begun mass production this year. Compared with the Type 65, it has several characteristics: the barrel is 100 mm shorter,
This makes it more convenient to maneuver on the battlefield, especially in the jungles, tunnels or trenches in Vietnam. The thickness of armor piercing has increased to 150mm, and the range of armor-piercing bombs has also increased from the original 300 meters to 500 meters, which has enabled infantry to have
It is necessary to equip the soldier-free coax cannon. After all, it is anti-tank and anti-armor range will be 200 meters higher than that of the bazooka.
These equipment is nothing to our synthesis camp. It can even be said that our synthesis camp has long been equipped with more advanced things. For example, ak74, svd, etc., but this is also because our synthesis camp is special and has a small number of people.
The reason. Ordinary troops are still equipped with Type 56 and Type 56 submachine guns. Some troops who have fought may seize part of the AK47 or SVD equipment from the Vietnamese devils, but that is only a small part, and
It's still earned with your life.
However, the airborne troops got batches of equipment that could be equipped with a regiment and a system of the latest production equipment, which is not something that ordinary troops can do.
Then there were dozens of 5-5 and a batch of Beijing Jeeps appearing at the base.
According to our idea, each battalion assigned six helicopters and six Beijing Jeeps to cooperate with paratroopers. But Commander Xu's total: How can six helicopters be enough for one battalion? Every three helicopters are a formation? That's not?
There are only two formations of helicopters, and there are two infantry companies. One helicopter formation cooperates with another infantry company to fight, so there are no helicopters as a reserve team!
I think it's true when Commander Xu said this. You have to know that when a helicopter fights, the bullet will be completely wiped out soon as the trigger is not controlled for a while. Therefore, a formation is indeed needed to replenish ammunition as the reserve team or
Used for replacement in emergencies.
To be honest, we didn't think about this before, but because we were worried that there were insufficient helicopters, we didn't dare to take more. Otherwise, helicopters, such things flying in the sky, would be better. Even if we don't need so many helicopters to fight.
Even if we airdrop ammunition or reinforcements to the paratroopers, it is very convenient. But if we are worried about asking for more, our superiors will think that we are talking big, so we thought about it again and again, and then we still set the number of helicopters at each
Six camps.
But these problems were nothing in the eyes of Chief Xu. He waved his hand: "Each battalion has nine helicopters and nine Beijing Jeeps, and the entire regiment has thirty helicopters and thirty Beijing Jeeps, and the three additional ones are used for maintenance.
replace!"
In this way, we have a lot of room on the helicopter. You should know that our army's Zhiwu modification is due to insufficient engine power (the engine has always been our weakness, but it is still the case in modern times), so the Zhi5 modification is lifted.
A Beijing Jeep 1395 kilogram has reached the maximum load capacity of the helicopter. If the helicopter wants to carry some personnel or equipment, it will be in a super-scaling state.
Although the 5-modification can be over-cut to 1,550 kilograms, it will appear clumsy when flying, and it will not be able to fight flexibly once a Beijing Jeep is lifted outside the helicopter.
So if there are only six helicopters, it is really difficult for us to arrange them. Now each battalion has nine... and six of them are used to carry Beijing Jeep, and the other three are used to transport ammunition or carry personnel.
Other helicopters can also be provided with necessary cover on the road.
Finally, there is the selection of soldiers in various parts.
This work is also the most troublesome thing for us... The reason is that Commander Xu's request is to select troops from the airborne troops as much as possible. If the airborne troops cannot find a suitable one, they will find a way to transfer from other troops.
Commander Xu's request certainly makes sense. He must do his best to protect his subordinates. On the other hand, it is because the soldiers from the airborne troops will parachute, and even if the soldiers transferred from other troops are of good professional quality,
Skydiving may not necessarily pass.
But to be honest, many times I don't want to choose from the airborne troops.
One reason is that the airborne troops have never interrupted their training.
There are both advantages and disadvantages for not interrupting training. The advantage is that the physical fitness and other qualities of the airborne troops are quite strong, and they can master the use of various guns. There are even many sharpshooters among them.
The disadvantage is that their squad and platoon tactics, and most of the battalion and company tactics are still under the thinking mode of pure infantry, and even because the airborne troops have rarely heavy equipment... This is determined by the fact that the umbrella and transport aircraft are not advanced enough.
So the commanders of the airborne troops are accustomed to the offensive mode of rifle-plus mortar.
These offensive modes have become a conditioned reflex because the airborne troops have been trained and exercised over and over again. Now we want to change their "conditioned reflex"
Quite difficult.
The second is that the airborne troops have no experience in combat.
This is very important for a unit, because no matter how hard a unit trains in normal times, when it first enters the battlefield, it will greatly reduce its combat effectiveness due to nervousness, fear and other emotions.
Just like the results of scientists' research: If a pilot is still alive after fighting several battles, then the chance of surviving in subsequent battles is very high. In fact, the same is true for infantry, often with a high chance of sacrificing in the previous battles.
After that, because of experience, I know how to control my negative emotions, and the sacrifice may be much smaller.
So if I have a choice, I would rather recruit some soldiers with combat experience in ordinary troops. After all, since the war with the Vietnamese Japanese, there have been soldiers who have fought everywhere.
But this is obviously not OK... Just kidding, if you do this, you will exclude all the soldiers and cadres of the airborne troops. In other words, the training regiment we formed has nothing to do with the airborne troops.
However, the suggestion of correspondent Xiao Liu solved this problem well...
Just when I was wondering how to start with the rosters and information from various troops given by Staff Li, Xiao Liu said from the side: "Battalion Commander, why don't you let the company commander of our Synthetic Battalion choose
Where is the soldiers?"
"Let the company commander go to the election?"
"Yes!" Xiao Liu said: "The company commanders of our synthetic battalion have their own styles and specialties, such as tactical companies, agent companies, and sniper companies. They also know what kind of soldiers they want, so they can choose... I
It's all right!”
"You are there!" I patted Xiao Liu's head excitedly, and then conveyed the task. (To be continued...)
