Chapter 124: Actual Combat Exercise (10)

For the assessment project of this fortification, Yao Hongjun attaches great importance to it, but he does not take Yan Mingcheng in his eyes, he feels that he is much more experienced than Yan Mingcheng in this regard, this time, no matter how advanced Yan Mingcheng's equipment is, it will have to lose to him.

In order to be able to win the battle of building fortifications this time, Yao Hongjun gave an order to his management cadres as he had done on the last march, asking them to urge the soldiers as quickly as possible, dig all the bunkers, and inspect them after six days, and if the unit is not completed, the cadres in charge will be punished.

Yao Hongjun thought that he would not do this work once or twice. In the past, they built fortifications and bunkers, and their armored division never lost. This time, he wants to keep winning.

After Yan Mingcheng and Yao Hongjun each mobilized their troops, they went to the exercise range together.

The range is large, with an area of sixteen square kilometers. It is the largest shooting range in the whole army, and most of the troops' exercises and live-fire missions are to be carried out here.

Because the terrain of Tianguang City is suitable for a shooting range, it is a typical southern hilly terrain, with many small hills and some relatively flat places.

Yan Mingcheng and Yao Hongjun each led their troops into the shooting range, and according to the orders of their superiors, they began to build fortifications and bunkers in two mountain passes one kilometer away.

This is an important assessment subject of the exercise, and all equipment and personnel must be concealed before the exercise, that is, they must first hide themselves and not let the other side discover where their positions are.

Yan Mingcheng and Yao Hongjun each led their own troops and began to build fortifications. Although they are all building fortifications, the form is different.

Yan Mingcheng's side, whether it was a platoon commander, a company commander, a battalion commander or a regiment commander, he was repeatedly digging bunkers with the soldiers. On Yao Hongjun's side, the cadres above the company commander did not go out of the bunker at all, but just stood outside to command! Only the platoon commander, squad leader, and soldiers worked in the bunker!

In fact, even a small platoon commander didn't work much, just stood with the soldiers and commanded them to work.

And Yao Hongjun was just in his own positional command post, giving orders to these cadres under his command, and he himself did not go to the scene at all.

Yan Mingcheng is here, but it's different. Whether it is a cadre or a soldier, it is the same. They all worked together and worked together, regardless of officers and soldiers, and worked hard again and again to complete the task of building fortifications this time.

Even Yan Mingcheng didn't stay in the command post, but kept running from one bunker to another, and when he saw something inappropriate, he hurried to let them come again. And will personally demonstrate to them.

Due to the role of officers and men in setting an example on an equal footing, the enthusiasm of the soldiers in Yan Mingcheng's unit has been fully aroused. In this way, the speed and quality of the fortifications increased.

In any case, the construction of bunkers for tanks and armored vehicles is a 'huge' project. Each tank and armored vehicle was five or six meters long, two or three meters wide, and three or four meters high. Now if we want to hide all these 'behemoths' in the underground fortifications, the amount of work will naturally be very large.

That is to say, the fighters of each squad had to dig such a large pit in the position about six meters long, three meters wide, and four meters high.

To say, just digging such a big pit, although it is very difficult, is not a difficult task, as long as it is excavated.

In the mountains of the southern region, the soil is relatively fertile, five or six meters below the surface, it is all red soil, and there are almost no rocks.

The reason why the higher-level leaders chose this place on the outskirts of Tianguang City as the most important shooting range for the whole army to study and shoot live ammunition. It is because this place is not only the hilly terrain necessary for the exercise, but also the deep soil layer, which is very suitable for excavation and bunkering.

It may not be too strenuous to build fortifications in such a place. But the point is that what the troops do is completely different from the locality. Not only pay attention to usability, but also pay attention to beauty and generosity. That is, there must also be aesthetic value.

In fact, everything we do is the same, if we don't pay much attention to aesthetic value, it may be very simple to do. It's like building a house, if you just build a house, you don't pay attention to the beauty of the house. That probably won't be that much of a strain. But once you want to decorate the house beautifully, it will take a lot of effort and money.

We ordinary people feel that getting up and folding the quilt is a trivial matter, and it will be done in a few minutes.

The reason why we are so fast is because we don't care about whether the folded quilt is beautiful or not. So it's easy to get the job done. But if you are asked to fold the quilt like the quilt of the soldiers of the army, it is not a task that can be completed in a few minutes, not only will it take a long time, but also take more effort.

When the fighters get up, they may not sweat when they go out to run and exercise. Because it is to run around the playground, but when you come back to tidy up the housework, you may be tired and sweaty.

The reason for this is because the quilt is folded into 'tofu cubes'. It's going to be a lot of work. As for how exactly it is stacked, I won't be verbose. This is not a story about the life of the troops.

Going back to the present, it is the same with the fighters digging bunkers. If you just dig a big hole, although it is laborious, you may complete the task in a day. But if you dig this boxy pit beautifully, it's not so easy.

Because the requirements of the superiors were that the bunker should not only be sturdy and durable, but also very beautiful, and all the walls should be as smooth as a knife, without a little pothole.

And the dimensions of all bunkers are also strictly regulated, and there can be no error of five centimeters. All four walls in the bunker must be vertical, and the four corners must also be at right angles.

Although it is only a temporary bunker, the requirements are the same as building a house, and you must be meticulous and not sloppy.

The soldiers wanted to fold the quilt into 'tofu blocks' when they were tidying up their housework, and they thought that the big pit for digging fortifications could also be called 'tofu pits'. So when everyone was working, they jokingly called it 'eating tofu'.

But everyone knows that eating such 'tofu' is far less refreshing than taking advantage of women. You will only be tired, sweating profusely, and your back hurts!

Think about how easy it would be to build a big pit to such a standard!
