Chapter 275: The Great Shock Caused by the Exercise (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Recommended Tickets)
This exercise was not only a new proposition for the 385th Regiment of the 121st Division of the 42nd Army, but also deeply shocked the commanders and fighters of our army in the exercise group and the director's department.
How can the opponent be so well versed in battlefield communications? How can they be so proficient in how to survive and fight in the jungle? How did they come up with so many traps?
On the fifth day of the exercise, the 1,586 officers and men of the 385 Regiment were drastically reduced by nearly half! The opponent withdrew from the exercise with only eight members.
Among the officers and men of the 385th Regiment who were "killed," only more than 200 fell under the guns of the opponents, and the vast majority of them were reimbursed by the various tricks, traps, minefields, and various diseases caused by the various tricks, traps, minefields, and various diseases caused by the unsuitability of the soil and water designed by them.
Yang Weiping also accepted it when he saw it, after all, he still had to take care of the face of our army. So he offered to suspend the military confrontation.
In the big tent of the barracks of the command center, Xu Shangyou, commander of the Southern Military Region, Wu Guozhong, deputy commander, Zhou Deli, chief of staff, Deng Yifan, political commissar, and other bigwigs of the military region sat there with their faces pale, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Commander! Commander Xu! Why did you stop fighting? Why didn't you fight? Our regiment can still fight! We can continue to fight! I will definitely be able to wipe out all this shameless and insidious enemy! I must avenge the sacrifices of our regiment! Even if there is only one person left, we will fight to the end......" Yue Zhongwang, commander of the 385th Regiment, shouted all the way from the outside with red eyes.
In just five days, it seems that this iron-clad man has aged nearly ten years, and his eyes are bloodshot, in addition to not resting well, more importantly, he has red eyes now.
"Shut up! You're not ashamed enough!" Liu Xingyuan, the commander of the 121st Motorized Infantry Division, interrupted Yue Zhongwang's request with a gloomy face.
"Divisional commander, I'll ......" Yue Zhongwang raised his hand and took off his military hat, squatted on the ground and cried loudly. He didn't know why this would happen to him, he had so many excellent fighters. But why could he have lost so badly? He really couldn't figure it out.
"Report! Tu Zhiqiang, the commander of the Rock Mercenary Army, has been ordered to come!" Tu Zhiqiang's loud voice came from outside the military tent.
"Please come in!" Yang Weiping stood up and raised his voice to greet.
Tu Zhiqiang, who was dressed in a jungle camouflage special operations uniform, had not had time to wash off the three-color oil paint on his face. Striding in with his head held high, and seeing the old generals full of seats, Tu Zhiqiang subconsciously stood up and saluted, and shouted loudly in a Yiprovincial accent: "Good chief!"
"Are you from Huaxia?" Xu Shangyou stood up in surprise when he heard this.
"Report the chief. I am a native of Huaxia, and the former deputy platoon commander of the reconnaissance company of the 539th Regiment of the 180th Division of the 60th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!" Tu Zhiqiang replied in a loud voice.
"The 60th Army?180th Division?Did you participate in the Korean War?" asked Deputy Commander Wu Zhongning.
"Yes! Tu Zhiqiang nodded without hesitation and replied: "Because our division lost the battle that year, I will unload my armor and return to the field after the unit is withdrawn." ”
"The soldiers of the 180th Division have fought vicious battles with the Americans!" Xu Shangyou roared at Yue Zhongwang, who was squatting on the ground, with an expressionless face: "Yue Zhongwang, you stand up for Lao Tzu! No shame!"
"I'll fight with you!" Yue Zhongwang stood up and suddenly pounced on Tu Zhiqiang.
Tu Zhiqiang stretched out his hand to hold Yue Zhongwang, but he didn't fight back, and Zhengse said: "Commander Yue, fortunately, it's just a military confrontation exercise now, if your regiment goes to fight the Vietnamese army like this, then a lot of people will really die!"
"You...... This is not called war, you are fighting indiscriminately. It's too bullying!" Yue Zhongwang choked up and squatted down again, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Yang Weiping lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and suddenly said out loud: "Lao Tu, tell Commander Xu and Deputy Commander Wu about the various problems that the 385th Regiment has exposed during the exercise. ”
"First. Holding high the red flag and charging, courage is commendable, but it is too easy to expose the target on the battlefield. Tu Zhiqiang said with emotion: "I used to be a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and I found that the soldiers of the 385th Regiment still used the technical and tactical fighting methods of the 50s and 60s. This method of man-to-sea warfare is obviously not suitable for modern warfare;
Second, our army's brightly colored cap badge and collar badge are simply live targets in jungle warfare, and the concealment is too poor;
Thirdly, when our snipers have knocked out your front-line commanders, the soldiers are basically headless flies scurrying around. I think this should be because there is no military rank system, so it has caused chaos and disorder in the command system on the battlefield;
Fourth, a battalion-sized search force of the 385th Regiment was ambushed by a 12-man tactical team of our side, and more than 300 people actually took a dense formation to launch a charge, exposing themselves to our heavy firepower and causing heavy casualties. From this point, it can be seen that our army's military skills are not strong, and its military quality still needs to be honed.
Fifth, I personally feel that the current Chinese People's Liberation Army does not seem to have come out of the shadow of ten years of turmoil. It seems that the troops are still politically in command, do not pay attention to scientific and technological training, and their technical and tactical level is very poor. The military has given too much emphasis on political study, resulting in a serious decline in military combat effectiveness.
Sixth, under the conditions of modern warfare, all places that can be reached by means of transport are the front line! Our army's logistics units and field hospitals must attach great importance to this! For the time being, I have thought so much, boss, chiefs, I have finished speaking. ”
After finishing speaking, Tu Zhiqiang first saluted Yang Weiping, and then saluted Xu Shangyou, Wu Zhong and other old generals.
"Let me add a few more words. Yang Weiping answered: "There are no outsiders present, so I will be blunt." The reason why I deliberately want to carry out this exercise is that the Vietnamese authorities are now becoming more and more arrogant, relying on the support of the Soviet Union, as if they are the third military power in the world, and have repeatedly invaded China's territorial waters and borders.
In the past 30 years, in order to help Vietnam get rid of Western colonial rule, most of the new conventional weapons manufactured by our army have been given to Vietnam, and our army has not used them, or they have rarely used them. It can be said that the Vietnamese army was single-handedly trained and equipped by our army.
The military ideas and guerrilla tactics of our army have been passed on to the Vietnamese. This border war that is about to break out will be a contest between the apprentices and masters of the blue blue. The current training of our army's troops is mainly focused on training soldiers, rather than commanders, and this is one of the main reasons why the 385th Regiment was so badly defeated in this exercise.
In addition, since the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China has not fought a major war for more than 20 years, and only a few local border battles have been fought. As far as our army, which is accustomed to a peaceful environment, most of our commanders, fighters, and soldiers lack adequate ideological preparation for war.
In turn, let's look at Vietnam. Their army fought for almost a hundred years. After World War II, with our support, they defeated France and the United States, and with a large army, the military quality of both combatants and citizens was greatly tempered and improved.
It is important to know that after defeating the US army, they captured a large amount of sophisticated equipment for the US military in active service. In addition to the tremendous and selfless military assistance provided by our army, the Vietnamese army's superiority in heavy equipment, especially artillery, is absolutely not worse than that of our army! Moreover, they have also received a large amount of military aid from the Soviet Union.
I just want to emphasize one point when I say this: Our army must be fully mentally prepared for this war. I don't want to see Vietnamese monkeys eating Chinese rice, wearing Chinese clothes, and using Chinese guns and cannons to slaughter our soldiers!"
For the high-ranking generals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, this small military confrontation exercise was no less than an eight-magnitude earthquake.
The summary report of the exercise was immediately transmitted to the Central Military Commission and to the No. 1 chief.
Chief No. 1 resolutely took this as an opportunity to convene an enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission.
Frankly speaking, the No. 1 leader was worried about the Chinese People's Liberation Army at the scene. During the turmoil of the past 10 years, the special status and some deeds of the armed forces have given the whole army a sense of superiority.
In addition, many high-ranking cadres and gentlemen fled the intellectual youth to go to the mountains and countryside and took refuge in the army, which also had an extremely bad influence on the troops.
The No. 1 leader was an outstanding military strategist, who began to work in the revolution at a young age, and it can be said that he had been fighting all his life. With his judgment, how much combat effectiveness such an army can have, I'm afraid that even the Eighth Route Army he commanded back then can't be compared.
The reason why he did not hesitate to agree to Yang Weiping's use of a 30-member squad of the Panshi mercenaries to fight against a main regiment of our army was that he wanted to use this exercise to beat some military bigwigs. Use facts to extinguish the arrogant and bureaucratic habits of the troops, which are quite obvious at present.
The Chinese people are like this, if there is no painful lesson as a fact, they will often continue to sleep, not knowing the awakening of the Dao.
The purpose of convening this temporary enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission is to reorganize China's current huge, bulky, and bloated army, arouse their sense of crisis, and at the same time eliminate the possible obstructive role of the army in the future reform and opening up policy.
The 385th Regiment of the 121st Motorized Infantry Division of the 42nd Group Army of the Southern Military Region is a well-known ace tiger regiment in the whole army, and has won the champion in the army's big competitions many times.
However, such an invincible male division in their eyes was almost completely abused by a small army of thirty people, how could this not cause them to think deeply.
It is important to know that in this military confrontation exercise, the director group of the exercise department, and the military observation group basically brought together the senior commanding officers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in active service, and most of the members of the Central Military Commission and the Central Military Commission, except for the No. 1 chief, most of the other members of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission were present at the scene.
In their eyes, the commander of the 385th Regiment, Yue Zhongwang, commanded the regular, and replaced it with their command, which is also the same way of playing. What kind of good unit can be used to enter the jungle to fight? If it weren't for the fact that a small number of people in the director group helped the 385th Regiment a little bit, the 385th Regiment's losses would have been even greater.
