"Tell me!" Then Commander Zhang handed a cigarette: "Tell me about your views on our 38th Army, advantages and disadvantages, so that we can reflect on ourselves!"
I know that Commander Zhang is not the kind of person who can beat around the bush or listen to flattery. He really wants to hear the opinions of us as his "enemy" in the exercise field. In fact, those who can see clearly are often their own enemies.
So I was no longer polite and nodded and said, "The 38th Army has many advantages, such as tenacious fighting will, strong psychological quality and physical fitness. I won't say much about these, which impressed me deeply.
It’s anti-tank capability, especially the anti-tank missile can hit six shots and six shots, which is amazing!”
Commander Zhang laughed and said, "We have worked hard according to the exercise subjects. As for anti-tank missiles... Six rounds and sixth Middle School are also lucky. And we should say that we have done some tricks in this and can hit the missiles so accurately.
There were not many soldiers, so we let two of them fight very accurately and one more round, which means that these six missiles were actually fought by four soldiers!”
"Oh!" I couldn't help but sigh when I heard this. Technical soldiers of this era are really not easy. Even troops like the 38th Army can only find four soldiers who can fight accurately.
"Don't talk about your advantages and disadvantages!" said Chief Zhang.
I replied without thinking: "The disadvantage is that the ability to fight night and the ability to counter-raid is insufficient!"
"Well!" Chief Zhang was stunned when he heard this. If someone else had said this, he would have said that there was insufficient air power, insufficient coordination, etc., and the lack of night combat ability and anti-raid ability is still a new saying.
"We felt this when we saw the Red Army's reaction when we launched a raid on the Red Army's tank and artillery units!" I said: "The heavy losses of the tank and artillery units can be said to be the turning point of this exercise. The Red Army was suffering from the
During the raid, we always ignore our lives to protect our equipment or grab equipment... You should know that our army basically has no ability to fight night battles in 59, and even if we grab the tanks when we are raided, it doesn't work much. It's also a sacrifice with the equipment.
Not to mention cannons, the role that can play in close combat is to serve as a cover! At this time, the Red Army should save itself, and preserve itself, and can also protect its equipment to the greatest extent! Otherwise, it will be both human and equipment.
Lost, isn't it?"
Commander Zhang nodded heavily and sighed: "This is the old thought of harming people in the past. The soldiers always hold the idea of being equipped with people, so they always think of protecting equipment at the first time!"
I understand this. In fact, this is a tradition of our army. The reason is that our army had severely lacked equipment in the past, and over time, it formed a situation where equipment was even more important than humans.
In fact, this also makes sense. For example, if a tank soldier loses a tank, it will almost never play any role on the battlefield. Therefore, the army encourages equipment to be the main focus. As long as it is possible, they must protect the equipment and devote themselves to the battlefield.
Show off your combat effectiveness.
But this is obviously not supposed to be done when raided by an enemy, especially since these equipment do not have the ability to fight night battles.
"Then..." Then Commander Zhang asked: "Battleman Yang thinks, what should we do when we are raided?"
"It's very simple!" I replied: "Scatter on the spot and lie down without moving, that is, do not run around, or grab equipment, and do not shoot randomly. If you confirm an enemy, you will hit another enemy!"
"Oh!" Chief Zhang couldn't help but nodded when he heard this: "This is like a lurking battle on the Vietnam battlefield!"
"Yes!" I said: "If you run around at this time, it will easily cause chaos. On the contrary, if you lie on the ground and don't move, it will make it difficult for the enemy to detect, which will make the enemy afraid to act rashly because they cannot be sure of it.
Are there any opponents lying down in the darkness around them aiming at themselves with guns? This will prevent them from shooting randomly and keeping their equipment to the greatest extent possible!”
"It's reasonable!" Chief Zhang replied: "We didn't realize this before, and we have to strengthen our training in this area in the future!"
I highly appreciate Commander Zhang's unpretentious attitude, and Commander Zhang not only listened to my opinions, but also listened to the soldiers' opinions... It's a bit like doing a post-war assessment or a post-war summary
Experience, but this summary of experience is not like ordinary troops. People sit down and summarize their own experience, but the "enemy" summarizes their experience.
The opponent is the one who knows the strengths and weaknesses best. So this method is worth learning from. I think this is one of the reasons why the 38th Army can maintain its amazing combat effectiveness without war for decades.
.
We talked about it very late that night, not only the 38th Army, but also the airborne troops and even our synthetic battalion. When we talked about it, we even had a war chess performance.
Those who are in the military, especially those of us who are in the war era, who are talking, discussing, and keen on it are inevitably related to the battlefield. The reason is very simple. This is related to our lives and the survival of our troops.
Although we are in the rear now, we might be on the battlefield tomorrow.
Finally, it was almost dawn that everyone had fun and left. Commander Zhang also said enthusiastically that he would come to us to continue chatting again tomorrow.
But the next day, Commander Zhang failed to come as promised... This is not surprising at all. As a commander, there are many military affairs waiting for him to deal with. It is good to have one night chat.
Later I realized that this night was actually the time for Commander Zhang to rest. As a result, Commander Zhang hurried back to the Blue Army Headquarters to command before he had slept for two hours.
We have two tasks:
First, help the people restore traffic, fields, etc. that were destroyed during the exercise.
This is easy to understand. Our troops are the soldiers of the people. They have always paid attention to military-civilian relations. This time, after such a large exercise, the range can be said to be hundreds of miles in radius, and they are both guns and cannons.
It is inevitable that the roads will be scattered. We can't just leave it alone. So those who build roads and those who dig fields are busy.
At this time, the engineers were the most popular and most powerful. We are infantry, tank soldiers, etc. Although the equipment in our hands is all about killing things, the only thing we do is to work is to use as a shovel. At this time, we can only look like
It was like a primitive man who digged around a pile of shovels and shovels. It would take hundreds of people to work hard for a long time to build a section of the road.
And what about the engineers? The bulldozer was driven up and "rattled" sounded like two and a half. I don't know if the engineers were interested in showing off our face or something. After they finished the road, they had nothing to do and helped the people build a canal.
All we saw was that we, soldiers who were working hard with engineer shovels, gritted our teeth.
Later I learned that our exercise caused a lot of shock among the local people.
Due to the confidentiality of the exercise, no news was released to the outside world before the exercise. It was just sent a large number of police officers to draw cordons and arrange for the people to evacuate.
Then a large number of troops rushed over... So the people naturally thought: This is going to fight!
There were rumors and all kinds of sayings, such as we were going to fight with the Soviet Union. How many people would die in this war, and it might even be possible to use nuclear weapons, etc.
Then there was a chaos among the people, some of whom were very exaggerated to rush for goods to prepare for disasters, some of them fled the "war zone" and some even dug tunnels to hide themselves.
Of course, this is all about the peaceful world. Although we are in it, we are basically isolated from them. So we didn’t know until after the exercise that saw the people moving back.
In this era, information is not circulating enough, so it is normal that all kinds of rumors will appear. And as a soldier, I can understand the people's panic about war... We are afraid of being a soldier on the battlefield, let alone those
People.
So I thought our second task was to set up a square array and strode to stabilize the people's hearts.
This is a very headache for our synthesis camp.
Our synthetic camp is the kind of person who can fight in war, but he is not energetic when he is in a straight line... Just kidding, we came down from the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield. Even if the soldiers were asked to do exercises, they would feel boring, let alone the warriors.
Still playing pedals on the playground over and over again.
But that's what the superior's order says, and there is no reason to kick this step well.
So we had to practice over and over again and again... At first I thought this was showing military authority for the local people to see. Recently, our army has been improving people's confidence in the army. From the Faka Mountain
The battle begins, so it should be of this kind to play steering in front of the people now!
Later, the more I played, the more I felt that something was wrong. There was no need to kick this straight stance for so many days. It only takes one or two days to show my military power in front of the people.
Then, looking at the neat square position and holding a gun, I suddenly shuddered... Isn't this square formation the military parade seen on TV? If you try hard to recall the historical knowledge in your mind, it seems that there has been one in 1981.
A military parade was the first military parade after the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
Mom, I didn’t expect it to be now, and I didn’t expect this military parade to follow the big exercise.
My guess is correct. The order for the military parade was quickly conveyed by the superiors, which made the soldiers excited for a while.
As Luo Xianwen said, after fighting for so long, he can finally wait until this moment. This also made the soldiers more and more excited to kick in a straight line, and even made the instructors, instructors and others very nervous, not being able to do anything.
In-place soldiers carry out various ideological education and key training.
This made me feel a little amused: it was just that my posture was not in place, and there was no wrong place in my mind. How to educate myself about my thoughts?! So with this curiosity, I went to listen to how the instructor did this idea.
Educational.
The instructor said this: "I say, you comrade, do you know that military posture and ceremoniality represent the image and spiritual outlook of our army. We are going to the parade ground to be inspected by the head and the people of the whole country.
This way of walking will make our entire army embarrassed in front of the leaders and the people of the whole country? Can you bear this responsibility?!"
Then there were a lot of "bara" words, which were so powerful and loud. The trained soldiers were ashamed and ashamed. Finally, they wrote a guarantee letter and decided to practice this stance well, so others were
When they were sleeping, they were still walking on the playground over and over again. Later, they heard the sound of the command and formed a conditioned reflex and immediately made corresponding actions.
It is said that this happened in a dormitory: a platoon leader talked in his sleep in the middle of the night and called a few commands. As a result, the soldiers in the dormitory turned over and got out of bed before they opened their eyes. They were stunned for a long time and didn't listen.
When the next command was sent, although he suspected that the platoon leader was talking in his sleep, he still didn't dare to move. Until the next day, the platoon leader woke up and was surprised to find that his soldiers had been standing outside for a night but he still didn't.
Know what happened.
This kind of training seems nothing, but it is actually very difficult. According to the soldiers who have fought, the difficulty level is no less than lurking on the battlefield. The difference is that lurking is life-threatening and strong psychological pressure
.
In terms of body, we need to practice the essence and energy vision. We need to practice the eyes for several minutes without blinking, and we also need to practice to see who stands for a long time. We often stay motionless for more than an hour. Our synthesizing camp station
The longest one was scar. He stood for two and a half hours, but at the end he was numb and unable to bend his legs. He was supported by two people from left and right, and he left the training ground.
In this regard, I, as a battalion commander, seem much inferior. Many times I even have a little confused mentality... Anyway, this is not a war, so it doesn't matter if I stand less or be a little bit crooked! I just saw my subordinates.
The soldiers were all so serious, and if I, the battalion commander who should be their role model, would be in a mess, I was afraid that this would be unreasonable, so I cheered up and practiced with them.
But let alone, if this is useless, it is not right, because I quickly realized that this is actually a kind of exercise of perseverance, just like our sniper training lying motionlessly while lurking, and even
It can be said that the pedaling and standing military posture are more monotonous. When we lurk, we can find something to do, such as calculating the distance, recording the terrain situation, calculating the downwind direction, etc., but when we stand military posture,
There is nothing I can do, and even the brain dares to distract myself. I can only do it with the command like a robot.
Finally, we followed the order to go to Zhangjiakou Yulin Airport, which is an air force airport. Of course, at this time, various types of fighter jets had already flew to other airports or stopped in the fortress, instead they were lined up in neat formations and looked at them.
