Chapter 98 The Falklands War (17)

One thing I have to admit is that the quality of British soldiers is quite good.

Of course, this is also relative to our troops before 79 years... At that time, our troops generally lacked training, and a considerable number of soldiers had never seen such ordinary equipment as rocket launchers, let alone a longer range and more powerful ones.

Big mortar.

After 79 years, our army's quality will be much better. After all, it has experienced the baptism of the battlefield. If you have never seen a rocket launcher, the mortar will be laughed at by others. There are even quite a few on the battlefield.

Some soldiers will spontaneously learn the operation of common equipment of infantry such as bazooka and mortar.

The reason is very simple. In combat, there are often cases of rocket launcher shooters or mortar gunners being sacrificed or injured. Therefore, it is very necessary to learn the operation of these equipment for the sake of the entire army and for the sake of their own lives.

The British soldiers did not have this process. Although they had not fought a war for decades, the operation of mortars was no problem.

The British are rich, so they don’t need to “do it yourself and have enough food and clothing” like our army. What British soldiers have to do in the army seems to be eating and sleeping in addition to training. After a long time, they can fire mortars.

There are naturally more people. But what surprised me and the soldiers was that these British guys were very troubled when calculating the coordinates.

"Battery Commander!" Liang Lianbing asked me angrily during training: "Didn't you say that these British guys have a high level of education? Why can't they all make a mistake? How can such a simple trigonometric function behave like this?

Even if you can't teach it!"

"We have not a high level of education!" Xu Jianping replied next to him: "Most of them only completed compulsory education, and only a few have studied in college."

"Compulsory education?" Liang Lianbing was stunned when he heard this.

It’s not that Liang Lianbing doesn’t know what compulsory education is. Compulsory education in our country only started in 1986, that is, three years later. So now, ordinary people have never heard of the word “compulsory education” at all.

Pass.

"Oh! It's almost equivalent to... our educational level above junior high school and below high school!" I explained.

This is what I calculated from the data. The school system in the UK is different from that in our country. We are divided into primary schools, junior high schools, and high schools, while the UK implements eleven years of compulsory education, that is, six years of primary school and five years of middle school. If you want to go to

In college, you have to study for two years of "expanded education".

The British military service system must complete compulsory education before joining the army, so most of them have read books for eleven years. Based on the time of reading, it is almost the same as our junior high school and high school.

Below. "Isn't this a high level of education?" Liang Lianbing said with an inexplicable expression: "This is... this is almost a high school student, why can't you calculate it?"

"The educational level of your army is..." Xu Jianping asked me with some confusion.

"Most of us have never read books!" I explained embarrassedly: "It would be great if there are a few people in our army who can read. Now it's better. When we fought with the Vietnamese devils a few years ago, many of them were very good at this time.

The company commander can't even read the map!"

"How is that possible?" Xu Jianping stared at me with big eyes and looked at Liang Lianbing and other Chinese soldiers: "If you haven't read a book, how can you calculate the coordinates so quickly and accurately!"

The reason why Xu Jianping knew that we Chinese soldiers calculated the coordinates quickly and accurately was because he had performed during training.

The British said they didn't believe anything about this. What they didn't believe was the work that they had to do with a laser rangefinder in their eyes. In these Chinese soldiers, they just used a few simple instruments to make it for a few seconds.

The clock can make a comeback.

But the British soldiers couldn't help but believe this, because the results we calculated were almost not much different from those calculated by their laser rangefinder, and the shells shot out were accurate.

So a new problem arises. You should know that laser rangefinders are not cheap in this era. Even the British army is only equipped with artillery units. If our company wants to be dispersed into several parts, such as squads as units.

If you engage in guerrilla warfare, it means that each squad must have at least one laser rangefinder to be able to fight.

Moreover, even if the UK is not short of money, we can afford it, it is obvious that this is not suitable for guerrilla warfare... What if this rangefinder is damaged during the battle? What if it fails? These situations are

It often appears on the battlefield where there are fire. Once this result occurs, it means that the British class will lose their function.

Major Will couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It seems that we British are indeed not suitable for guerrilla warfare, and fortunately we don't need to guerrilla warfare!"

"Comrade Battalion Commander!" Seeing that I did not answer his question, Xu Jianping continued to ask: "You were just joking!"

"No!" I said, "I didn't answer you because it was a painful process. As you said, most of them have never read books. How can they calculate these coordinates quickly and accurately?

!But you have to understand that on the battlefield, if you don’t calculate these coordinates quickly and accurately, it means death!”

"Oh!" Xu Jianping nodded as if he understood something after hearing this.

He grew up in England, and of course he knew that human potential was unlimited, so naturally he knew that under the threat of death, no matter what miracle it would happen.

Even though British soldiers have a considerable level of education, they are not as good as us in terms of calculation coordinates because they do not have these pressures at all. They even have no pressure on employment and life. Maybe they do it when they are in school.

Simple multiplication operations are all computers. So how can we compare with those of us who have been on the battlefield and fought wars!

"Then don't teach them to learn how to calculate coordinates!" I said: "In the future, the squad leader will calculate the coordinates, and then report the elements to other people to call them!"

"Yes!" Liang Lianbing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. This made things much easier.

"Battery Commander!" Major Will suggested from the side: "I think we can practice in another place, and by the way, we can practice marching and build new positions, what do you think?"

"No, Major Will!" I refused, "Now is the time for soldiers to familiarize themselves with the use of mortars, and I will do this when it is right!"

Seeing that I rejected this suggestion again, Major Will couldn't help but frown.

In fact, Major Will's suggestion is correct. If you want to be familiar with using mortars, you don't have to practice in one place. You can also practice in another place. Frequent changes of positions are closer to actual combat. After all, we practice.

It is to use mortars to fight guerrilla warfare.

But I don't care about it. If I don't want to, I don't want to. No matter what Major Will says, I just pretend to be unaware... If I don't feel good about it, you can remove me and find someone else.

!Anyway, this area can be called guerrilla warfare experts, and only we Chinese are here. If you can find it, you can go find it.

I would do this not unreasonable, but because after carefully analyzing the map and the water depth around the port of "Ritvignon", I determined that the waters in this area were the most suitable location for Argentine submarine reconnaissance... to the south is South Georgia Island,

There are reefs everywhere in the east, and to the north, there are the main directions for British fleets and ships to enter and exit the port. Not only are there many frigates in this direction, but there are also a large number of anti-submarine helicopters.

Then the only thing left is this west. If I were the commander of the Argentine submarine, I would have chosen this west. The reason is that the water depth here is just enough for the light submarine to move in the nearby waters, which is also most of the British ships.

The reason why we all choose to enter and exit the port in the north, and the perspective of looking at the port from the inside is also very good, making it a very ideal place to observe.

In other words, I have now confirmed two points: one is that it is determined by historical knowledge that Argentine submarines will come, and the other is that it is determined based on the sea conditions that Argentine submarines will most likely appear in this area of ​​water.

In this case, I will not easily give up on the high ground we are training.

In fact, all this was done intentionally, including the sudden change in our training to using mortars for guerrilla warfare... What I did was not to teach the British any tactics, but to hope that we could deal with the submarine.

equipment.

What can infantry have to deal with submarines?

Strictly speaking, there is no submarine in the sea, and it is hiding in the depths of the sea. If an infantryman wants to hit a submarine, it is basically a dream.

But in my plan, I thought it was possible...Argentine submarine was going to reconnaissance in this area of ​​water, which means it would definitely send out the water surface to peep with a periscope.

To be honest, in this case, it is difficult for us to cause any damage to it even if we have a mortar, because we can't tell whether the submarine under the sea is horizontally or vertically or other angles from a periscope.

But what if dozens of mortars were rushing into the periscope together?!

This is my plan. I even asked the guards to take a few correspondents with telescopes and keep staring at the sea surface. Once I find something like a "cylindrical" sticking out of the sea surface, I will report it to me immediately.

In other words, we are ready now, but we are in a bad mood.

But who knows whether this Argentine submarine will come? Maybe this submarine is so stupid. It is not necessary to choose the north side of the British warship, which means there are many British ships. Otherwise, how could there be any incident in history where the British army discovered submarines?

Woolen cloth!

Or maybe things are still developing like history, and in the end, the British discovered the submarine first. I am afraid that in the next days, I will have to stay on this deserted island to train these British people!
