At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. I had known that I would not have accepted the task of assisting the training of the airborne troops.
What I didn't expect was that as a trump card unit of our army, especially a trump card mobile unit composed of party members, backbone and heroic troops, it has always had a mysterious color to the outside world.
There is no need to say why it has a mysterious color, it is related to military secrets or even state secrets.
Because of this, the airborne troops have much stricter reviews of members than ordinary troops. Our synthetic battalion is a force that assists the training of the airborne troops and has made many military achievements on the battlefield and has won the trust of superiors.
, so there is no review level.
But the problem is... the absence of review does not mean that some people in the airborne troops are not vigilant.
For example, now, Political Commissar Liu obviously has doubts about me, otherwise he would not have looked up information about me or even used words to trick me.
But when I think about it, I feel that there is nothing to worry about. What can they doubt me? A spy from the Japanese devils? Or a spy from the Soviet devils?
What a joke. I have defeated the Vietnamese army many times on the battlefield. The Soviet army's major conspiracy can even be said to have used Afghanistan to delay the pressure on the Soviet army on our northern line. If I were their spy
, it would be impossible to shoot yourself in the foot like this!
In fact, it is precisely because of this that although I have many unspeakable strange things, such as sometimes I know the plan of the Vietnamese Japanese in advance, and sometimes I can guess what the Vietnamese army will do next, etc., but my comrades, superiors and even
Until Commander Zhang had no doubts about me.
Later I realized that I was wrong. Political Commissar Liu did suspect that I was a spy. It was just that I was not a spy from the Soviet Union or the Vietnamese devils. It was a spy from the Americans.
And what I didn't expect was that there is a lot of evidence to support this suspicion of Political Commissar Liu:
For example, I know a little English, which is reflected when I interacted with Colonel Smith in Afghanistan.
For example, I will know some high-tech equipment that ordinary people in China cannot know about, and they also know various collaborative tactics... If these are placed on Chinese people in this era, it will make people feel very strange, but if I were sent to China by the United States
If a spy is, everything will be natural.
In addition, the interactions between me and Li Li, a weapon expert sent by the United States, are "not clear". The reason why I say "not clear" is because some comrades react that Li Li and I often whisper in the dark where no one is...
...I'm so wronged, and the whispering is even more like a love-making relationship. But in the eyes of Political Commissar Liu and others, it became "secret information", so this almost confirmed that I was an "American spy"
This matter.
The reason why I can continue to develop freely in the army is because it was the honeymoon period of China and the United States. Political Commissar Liu and his superiors guess that the strategic purpose of the Americans is actually the same as our purpose of helping Afghanistan, which is to rely on the power of a third country.
To defeat the US's number one enemy, the Soviet Union.
The enemy is a friend, and this sentence is equally practical between countries.
So Political Commissar Liu thought... My mission as an "American spy" is likely to be because the Americans want to help China, but they are unwilling to overstimulate the Soviet Union, so they thought of the method of using "spy" to help indirectly
.
That is to say, for them, I was plotting between the United States and this matter is beneficial to our army and even our country at this stage. If it is pointed out, on the one hand, it will cause our army to lose an "excellent"
The help and guidance of the American consultant, on the other hand, is detrimental to the current Sino-US friendship and Sino-US cooperation. So they completely dismissed them.
Not only do they even think that they don’t know, they believe in the tactical theories I proposed.
Because for them, this is some necessary reform information transmitted to our army by the US government through me, a "spy". You must know that the United States is the only superpower and a technology power that can compete with the Soviet Union in this era. I don't believe these
What else can you believe?
This naturally saved me a lot of trouble. At least there were no more people asking me how I understood this and how I knew that... I was an American consultant, so I knew that these were normal.
Of course, my "safety" is based on Sino-US cooperation, and the honeymoon period of China and the United States is short, so my "safety" is also short.
In other words, although it seems that nothing is wrong on the surface, it can even be said that Political Commissar Liu and others trust me more and value me. This is an era of science and reform. The United States represents science, and I am revolutionizing again.
To some extent, it represents the United States, so I have a transcendent identity in their hearts. But in fact, this incident has laid a crisis for me in the future.
These are all later stories. On the surface, Political Commissar Liu, Captain Wu and others have fully accepted the training of our synthesis camp.
Even Commander Wu, who originally did not agree with the tactical theory of our synthetic battalion, would come to our battalion headquarters from time to time to discuss the synthesis operations and command issues of the troops, and would take notes while discussing.
At this time, I didn't know that there was actually a big reason behind this. I just thought that Captain Wu saw the tricks of the synthesis camp training in the training ground, so he had such a big change in his attitude.
But who will care about so much? Our goal is to reform the troops and do everything possible to improve the combat effectiveness of the airborne troops. So it can be said that it is just about talking about everything, and it can be said for several hours at a time.
From the cooperation between snipers and infantry to the cooperation between helicopters and artillery and infantry, sometimes even if you don’t want to waste your time eating, you just eat and chat.
"Battlefield Commander Yang!" On the day, Commander Wu sighed: "I was not optimistic about the training of your various types of troops. I didn't expect that there were so many things to pay attention to. Now, thinking about it, I tried my best to do it at the beginning.
Oppose...ah! I am so ashamed!"
I just smiled, handed a cigarette to Captain Wu, and asked, "Can you tell me why you objected?"
"Hey, don't mention this!" Commander Wu raised his head and replied awkwardly: "I objected at the beginning, on the one hand, because I felt that fighting with such a few troops would be chaotic, but on the other hand, I didn't want it.
Our troops carry the army!”
"Yeah!" I nodded, and I thought of both of these points.
In fact, if our army's communication equipment was still very backward in this era, it would be chaotic to mix several troops without communication equipment. This is the experience we gained during the exercises.
"Actually..." Then Commander Wu said: "There is another point, that is, we have always been mainly infantry. I believe that in war, people's spirit is the most important thing, and over-reliance on equipment...that is greed
A sign of fear of death!”
"Oh!" I didn't think about this, but it doesn't seem surprising, because our army has always defeated powerful opponents again and again without relying on equipment, so we will come to this
The conclusion is normal.
In other words, the positive and negative sides of the reform in the airborne troops are actually a collision between the two ideas of the new and old, and the two spirits.
The old ideas were mainly people, believing that human spiritual power could defeat all enemies, while the new ideas were people-oriented and paid attention to the combination of people and equipment, with the goal of being able to exchange for the greatest results at the lowest cost.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that new ideas and new spirits have the upper hand. After all, the improvement of combat effectiveness is a fact, and the reduction of casualties is also a fact. What is particularly important is that we are catching up with the great wave of reform and opening up.
People always talk about "reform", "science", etc., so the conservative ideas naturally become untenable.
Because of the full support of Commander Wu and Political Commissar Liu... To be honest, the support of both of them is very important for the training of the synthetic battalion. Commander Wu often goes to the battalion headquarters to communicate with me, and he himself is also a
He has some combat experience... His combat experience mainly comes from the 62 years of self-defense counterattack against India. It was precisely because he made contributions in that battle that he was transferred to the airborne troops. Therefore, Commander Wu received synthetic training.
The essence of this is to know that collaborative combat is ultimately about learning from each army's strengths and weaknesses to provide firepower or support to each other. So under his leadership, the cadres of the entire regiment capital began to actively learn the command of collaborative combat.
Of course, there are more or less conservative cadres or soldiers who stick to the old tactics of the past. This is the time for the political commissar, instructor and instructor to play their role.
This made the training regiment progress very quickly. In just over a month, the soldiers of the training regiment mastered the coordination with other troops.
This really surprised me. I used to think that the airborne troops might have taken root in their heads because of the training they had received before, so it was difficult for them to accept the transformation of new tactics. Unexpectedly, their transformation process was very rapid.
And it is also done very well.
The reason, I think the important point is the support of Political Commissar Liu and his mentors and instructors. These cadres are responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers. They guide the soldiers to transform into new ideas, and with high intensity,
After a long period of training, this training will naturally result in twice the result with half the effort.
The only thing here that makes the soldiers of the airborne troops feel very embarrassed... is that we ask them to observe the coordinates.
The airborne troops are indeed composed of the backbone of each unit, but this does not mean that they have a high level of education, so a considerable number of people have a headache about the calculation of the artillery coordinates. (To be continued...)
