Originally, I insisted that the soldiers of the training regiment be able to observe coordinates, after all, this is very beneficial for infantry and artillery coordination. You should know that the coordination between infantry and artillery is very important on the battlefield, especially paratroopers, who are airborne to the rear of the enemy.
When conducting operations, the coordinates of the artillery are often guided to the artillery. In addition, the heavy mortars carried by the airborne troops often require artillery observers to indicate the targets.
In addition, fighter jets are often fleeting. If no one can observe the target and lose the opportunity to attack the enemy or even eventually affect the entire battle, then the consequences are probably not just regret or regret.
.
But I think about it seriously and think it is unrealistic. You should know that when we trained in the synthetic camp, more than half of the talents were eliminated and several companies were finally completed. Our synthetic camp has the conditions to eliminate so many people, and we need new ones.
The soldiers can go to the 40th Division to pick them at any time, but we are training a regiment now.
Let’s talk about a battalion. Even if we eliminate the troops in large quantities, the number of troops required is still limited. With a division’s reserve troops in the back, we don’t need to worry about anything. But now it is a regiment, and this regiment’s
The training mode is likely to be promoted to the entire army, so if it is eliminated in large quantities like our synthetic battalion... I’m afraid that it would be impossible to bring a few troops to come and prepare for it in the back.
Considering one thing, after careful discussion with Zhao Jingping and others, I felt that this aspect could be relaxed.
More importantly, many infantry actually have no use even if they have learned to observe coordinates... They are not equipped with communication equipment, and without communication equipment means that they cannot pass the observed and calculated coordinates to the artillery troops in time. So this is for them.
It is an unnecessary skill to master.
Of course, our synthetic battalion is an exception. This does not mean that the airborne troops are not as good as us or that they cannot get so many communication equipment. It is because the synthetic battalion has fewer people and there are many airborne troops. Now our country is still poor and it is impossible to be like
The synthetic battalion equipped communication equipment to other troops at a high density.
But this does not mean that we do not require the airborne troops to master the ability to observe targets. This is the basis of infantry and artillery coordination. It is far from enough to rely solely on artillery observers and artillery troops on the battlefield.
The solution is to require cadres to master it. Needless to say, the platoon leader is the platoon leader. The requirement is very simple. If you cannot master the ability to indicate the target for artillery soldiers, then the platoon leader will let others be the squad leader in this company.
There are the same requirements, and if any squad leader has a good grasp of this, then once the platoon leader dies on the battlefield, he will give priority to being the replacement candidate for the platoon leader.
In fact, this is also the reason why superiors stipulate that "soldiers cannot be promoted". If they do not study in the military academy, learn more and master some necessary military knowledge, this is indeed not suitable to be a cadre in the army.
Of course. There is an exception to the troops here, that is, the sniper company.
As a sniper, it is necessary to master the observation target and cooperate with the artillery, because snipers are not just sniping the target, but often they also serve as missions to lurk, observe and provide intelligence to the rear. What's more,
A sniper's weapons are not limited to rifles. Accurately guiding artillery fire to blow up targets or using artillery fire to alert snakes to force the target out of the woods or grass. These are all sniper tactics.
So there is no need to discuss this in the sniper company, and you still have to learn the observation target without missing a single one.
But this doesn't seem to be too difficult for the sniper company. The reason is that the ones we have drawn to form the sniper company are all excellent "sharpshooters" in various units. As a "sharpshooter", most of them are good at
There are all skills in distance, numbers or calculations. There is even a unit of "Sharpshooter" who understands the importance of synergy with artillery as a "Sharpshooter" when he is on the battlefield. So he learns the observation of the target independently.
In fact, the coordination between snipers and artillery is not very complicated, and the observation of targets does not need to be as accurate as that of artillery observers. The reason is that they often lie in one place on the battlefield without moving, and try not to be exposed, and there is basically no condition to stand up.
Set up the steering wheel to measure the angle. So what they need to learn is the estimation method, that is, use the telescope to estimate the coordinates of the target as much as possible, and guide the artillery fire into an accurate position after the artillery test fire.
This made me struggle for more than a month, and I practiced during the day and at night... This also allowed me to see the training intensity of the airborne troops. I only slept for four or five hours a day, and in addition to eating and sleeping, I ran on the training ground.
At first I thought this was because the superiors asked us to complete the formation of the training regiment as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness in the shortest time... This was because the planned large exercise time began in a few months, and the airborne acted as the Blue Army.
The troops did not look like the Blue Army at all. If we use this airborne force that is just a parachuting infantry, whose firepower is even weaker than that of ordinary troops, to play the Blue Army, that would be unreasonable!
So this time is quite urgent, and I think it is precisely because of this training team that we practice hard.
But when I asked Commander Wu, I realized that this is how the airborne troops were usually trained. It can even be said that they are more relaxed than usual now, because they usually practice high-intensity physical fitness, such as 150 push-ups before going to bed,
Extend your arms and hold two bricks to run around the camp for two laps. Now, except for the five-kilometer off-road in the morning, all the training has been cancelled, and it has been replaced with highly technical collaborative training and adaptation to new equipment.
No wonder, the airborne troops have always wanted to use individual soldiers to make up for their equipment shortcomings, so it is normal to focus on physical fitness and willpower, that is, not afraid of hardship or fatigue. However, although physical fitness and spirit are important,
Sometimes it can never make up for the shortcomings in equipment.
This is particularly prominent in modern warfare. Some countries have strong fighting will and their fighting spirit cannot be said to be untenable. They just ride motorcycles carrying bombs to rush towards the enemy's tanks, but in the end they still avoid it
No failure.
So sometimes, like the movies and TV describes everything that is just and the fighting spirit is tenacious, you can finally win and justice can be upheld... This is dangerous in military terms, because war only has reality, "chiluo" naked
The reality.
Fortunately, our country's army has already developed the idea of defeating the enemy by relying solely on spirit, and is now moving step by step towards the right direction, that is, toward a modern army.
Of course, the training team over the past month cannot be transformed into what I expected. As I said before, the old tactical ideas have been rooted in their heads for many years, and I want to completely turn them into pieces.
Transformation cannot be done in a short period of time, it requires long-term training.
But the training over the past month at least made them understand one thing: that is, the goal of the war is to win, not to act recklessly in order not to be afraid of sacrifice!
For example, if they encounter a firepower point that is difficult to conquer, they would have formed a blasting team without thinking about it before, and then take the blasting tube under the cover of their comrades and put on the explosive pack.
But then again, it makes sense that they had basically not considered using other military coordination methods before.
Mortars? Due to the transportation capacity and carrying capacity, there are not many in the battalion, and there are not many shells. These shells must be prepared for the main attack. If you encounter a fire point on the way, you must use a mortar.
Solution? What should I do if the main attacker is asked?
The recoilless gun also faces similar problems. As for snipers and helicopters, they didn’t have one before, and they were still 56 and a half at that time!
So don't think about it, just carry the explosives on it. If it's better, just rush with the bazooka on its back, but the range of the bazooka is only 300 meters, and it has a great wind deviation rate. If you don't rush to about 200 meters, you're afraid
No one can hit the target.
But it has to rush into two hundred meters... Today, when the range of AK47 is more than 300 meters, whether it can rush into is only a matter of luck.
Now, they have many choices.
First of all, mortar shells are not so nervous, and they are even equipped with heavy mortars. Using this thing to attack open-air machine gun forts or firepower points in trench fortifications is undoubtedly a good choice.
If the firepower is a bunker fortification, you can choose a recoilless cannon, Red Sword 73 anti-tank missile, and snipers can even use a few Type 81 rifles on special terrain.
This is because the accuracy and firepower of Type 81 are greatly improved compared with the 56 and 56 submachine guns used by our army before. On special terrain, if the soldiers have the conditions to use terrain to cover the firepower point, if they have the conditions, they will use terrain to rush into the firepower point for more than 100 meters.
The range of the two 81 types can be suppressed by the enemy's bunker's gun holes so that they cannot shoot.
This is also the reason why Type 81 is very popular with soldiers as soon as it is equipped with airborne troops... This thing has a range of 56 and a half and a firepower of 56, so it would be strange if you don't like it.
Of course, this has to exclude us soldiers who have equipped AK74.
Even Captain Wu couldn't let go of this gun, and even the leader, who was the regiment, took the 81st Type to the shooting range to train with the soldiers.
After practicing, I often came to me with a gun and sighed: "Oh! There is still this gun. If this thing could be used for counterattack wars a few years earlier, then our friendly troops would not be so big.
Casualties!”
Upon hearing this, I just smiled. This wish was good, but Captain Wu reversed the cause and effect of the matter... If it weren't for the heavy casualties of the anti-war war, I'm afraid our army will still stagnate!
