522 It's not easy to be an instructor in a religious army
The bare hills, not a trace of green in sight, and everywhere there is desolation.
And in a huge valley formed by many hills, the continuous army green marching tents were densely packed, and a large number of soldiers wore tawny desert camouflage uniforms, and many of them wore helmets painted with the same tawny desert camouflage on their heads.
In the center of the barracks, there is a large marching tent, neatly arranged with several rows of long tables.
Around the dining table, there are some crooked soldiers. The expressions on the faces of these soldiers were very unsightly.
"Some dogs, no matter what you teach, you don't have a long memory! This is a tank, you have to throw shells on the enemy's head while moving, don't you stop and be a target! A yellow soldier dressed without any rank, epaulettes and collars with nothing on his face threw his military hat heavily on the long table in the barracks.
"Kuroko, don't complain, you calf, at least your translator can accurately translate your words. It's good on my side, a simple radar can't be operated, and the coordinates given on the computer are still not understood......" said a bearded soldier with a swarthy face, clutching at his messy hair.
The complaints of the two immediately made all the soldiers around them depressed.
"If I had known, Lao Tzu wouldn't have come here!"
"You want you to say that these grandsons are dumber than cows!"
For a while, all the voices of complaining rang out. Various dialects appear here.
This is a makeshift military camp in Pakistan on the border between Iran and Pakistan, dozens of tanks are parked in the middle of the barracks, piled up with various military supplies everywhere, and a large number of bearded soldiers are moving lazily around the barracks.
"Lao Zhao, it's not a matter if it goes on like this, it's been a whole month. These guys can't even remember the most basic operations! A burly man with a dense stubble on his face said as he looked at the young man with black-rimmed glasses next to him who looked like a little white face.
"Don't call me Lao Zhao, I'm only 27! You're getting old! The white-faced soldier said with a dissatisfied expression, "Before we came, we knew about the difficulties we were facing, but. I didn't expect that the difficulties we faced would be more than we imagined! ”
"Or, let the country be replaced? Pakistanis are easier to teach than these guys. What a special college student, these bullshit college students are useless at all, and they can't understand anything! It's useless for them to buy so much advanced equipment in China! As soon as the middle-aged soldier said this, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
They are instructors sent here by the Chinese side.
"Do you think it's possible? At least, we've been with the Iranians for quite some time. Even if we change people from within the country, it will be in vain, and if we can't form a fighting force in the end, we will be the sinners of the whole country. The kid surnamed Liu. It's definitely not going to make it easy for us. Young Lao Zhao shook his head.
The middle-aged soldier saw a bearded officer with several military uniforms walking towards this side in the distance, wearing military uniforms, but a hair wrapped in a white turban on his head, and his face suddenly showed a delightful expression, "This day is not a human life!" ”
"Both, I heard you're distressed right now?" The mullah, who was wrapped in a white turban on his head, held a thick Koran in his hand, and when he saw the Chinese instructor who was not frowning, he asked very respectfully. The translator around him was translating Persian into Chinese at the same time.
"Mullah Hazari. I think you should be very aware of the difficulties we are currently encountering. If this continues, it will be impossible for the armored division of the Revolutionary Guards under the commander-in-chief of your armed forces, Khomeini Marza, to form a combat force without a few years! Zhao Chuanyun said to Hazari very seriously.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is a newly formed army independent of the Iranian Defense Forces and under the direct command of Supreme Spiritual Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
On 5 May 1979, the Islamic Revolutionary Council decided. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a security force has been formed on the basis of various paramilitary forces opposing the Pahlavi regime, which is directly under the orders of the supreme spiritual leader. At the same time, a great purge of the army was carried out and a political and ideological ministry was created in the army, and 'mullahs' (Iranian clerics) were sent to the army to transform the old army with Islamic ideas. Become a 'spiritual' commander of the army personnel.
This is just like in the republic, there are political commissars in charge of ideological education and company commanders in units above the level of the republic.
Therefore, the instructors from China are very understandable about the existence of mullahs.
What's more, Zhao Chuanxiang himself is also a political commissar!
"Political Commissar Zhao, on the issue of the combat ability of the fighters, you should communicate with the battalion commander, Major Khojaty......" Hazari did not have the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, nor did he have any arrogance, "I believe that our fighters are the best!" ”
"It's really the best, but they have a very fearless spirit of not being afraid of death, and they recite the Koran on the tank to charge towards the predetermined area, instead of using the tank's mobility and flexibility to ......fire on the move," said the black-faced Wenshan, as the chief instructor, biting his lip.
The tank crew is nothing else, the main thing is to provide fire cover for the attacking infantry, and at the same time, it is used to compete with the enemy's armored forces.
The Longwei tank, however, is much more advanced than the domestic 59 tank and 69 tank, and they have also undergone a long period of training before, and have undergone more theoretical training on the way here, and then further study in the teaching process.
The performance of this tank is much higher than that of the Chinese tank, and at the same time, the difficulty of operation has increased a lot.
Of course, this is for the best tank crews, most of whom have been in service for five years, and have been selected from among the most elite armored units of the Republic. After all, most of them are not too highly educated.
"Chief instructor, I think we should sit down and study this kind of thing slowly......" As the most powerful battalion commander of the most elite armored division of the Revolutionary Guards, Khojyathi was originally an instructor at the Iranian Military University, and was personally ordered by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, once the First Armored Division has formed combat capability, he will be a regiment commander.
All are equipped with the most advanced battle tanks from China.
"Your warriors haven't even completed the most basic training! Tank crews don't just need to complete basic training. The main thing is that they would rather spend their time memorizing the Koran than learning about the various parts of the tank! "The headache of Wen Shan and others is not unreasonable.
"They're our religious warriors!" Hearing this, Khojat was immediately dissatisfied.
As a religious warrior, you first have to unify your mind.
And then the fighters.
"We know that they are the armed forces defending your religion, that's it. We have long been on the same page. If they don't even have the most basic combat effectiveness, and they drive the most advanced tanks that you have purchased from our country, on the battlefield, if they become targets, in the end, will they be able to defend your religion? Zhao Chuanyun said without giving in, "Moreover, your warriors are more interested in preaching to our instructors......
This is the biggest difficulty they are facing at the moment.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is a religious army organized by Islam led by Ayatollah Khomeini. Both soldiers and officers are all religious elements, and in the face of these infidels in China who do not believe in Islam, they naturally hope to convert them to Allah of Islam.
These problems, Wen Shan and others did not expect to encounter such a situation at all.
Even Liu Yijiu couldn't think of this.
If he thought of it, he couldn't help it. After all, the army is the ranks of the party, and the party respects religious beliefs. Similarly, there are some ethnic companies in the army, but those companies do not have elite armored units......
"How are you going to solve this problem? We should have thought about this in the first place! In the face of Yan Pingyuan's report, Liu Yijiu's head was about to explode.
It never occurred to him that it was just a matter of religious belief. Just let their instructors make the first big customer unable to handle it.
Wang Shunyi was also dumbfounded after getting this situation.
Unlike other countries' armies, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is all Islamist, and it is a more radical kind.
At a time when the 10-year turmoil had just ended, and the reform of the domestic armed forces had not yet been carried out in an all-round way, such a problem was encountered. Even if it were to be possible to mobilize a large number of fighters with the Islamic faith.
Not even a technician.
Because of the many technicians and managers in the mountain, except for the people left by Liu Suzhi, all of them are party members!
"Or let our teachers convert to Allah first?" Liu Yijiu said tentatively.
It immediately caused many bigwigs on the management committee to shake their heads.
This kind of thing is not realistic at all, and the instructors are all drawn from the fighters who were sent to their side for training at the beginning of the active army.
"As the person in charge, I can't even solve this point, how can I do it in the future? There are countless religions in the whole world, many in Western countries believe in Christianity, and even some different countries believe in the same religion and different denominations......" Liu Suxue said coldly.
Liu Yijiu had no choice.
Ultimately, these issues can only be considered.
It's not that there is no way to do this kind of thing, but Liu Yijiu can't say it, that is, let them attack each other during the exercise, and lose a few tanks, so naturally there will be no problem. There is really no way, so I can only let the teachers over there figure it out on their own.
You can't let the multi-purpose management waste energy and time on these small things.
Fortunately, as long as the current first batch of trainees can be solved, there is no need to worry too much about the equipment sold to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in the future. As long as you can make a name for yourself.
In the Longwei tank, reactive armor is not added, and even some electronic systems are reduced. On the main armor of the defense, graphene is also used to reduce the amount of graphene, and a layer of carbon fiber is added in the middle. Can't withstand too much heavy artillery fire.
Equipment is not the main force on the battlefield, the soldiers are.
In the Iran-Iraq war, any advanced weapons and equipment were used as ordinary weapons and equipment, and no one had anything to do, which is why there were many tyrant countries in the Middle East behind, but not many countries were willing to sell them the most advanced weapons and equipment.
It doesn't work!
"Lao Zhao, there is news from China, and we are asked to find a way to solve it ourselves. Director Liu Yijiu provided a suggestion in his personal name...... "When Wenshan saw the telegram from China, he immediately felt a pain.
This kind of thing is not easy to solve at all.
Religious soldiers, they are encountered for the first time.
All are fanatical religious people who believe that they can hit the target, and that is their Allah Allah. They are equally confident that even if an enemy shell falls on their tank, Allah Allah will bless their tank from being hit.
They would never know that in the Iran-Iraq war, which will break out soon, many of Iran's early casualties were caused by such reasons.
It's a sadness.
Seeing Wenshan selling Guanzi, Zhao Chuanyun immediately snatched the telegram from his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Liu Yijiu's suggestion in the postscript above. "If we really convert to their Allah, I guess they will explain the teachings of the Qur'an to us every day!"
"That's too. Looks like we'll have to figure it out ourselves. Or can only start from Hazari, he is in charge of the soldier's mind! Wen Shan shook his head.
Even without the mullahs, they were all religious fanatics, and no one could stop them.
During the training, many people were studying the teachings of the Qur'an, although they were all selected from Iran and had a high level of education, and the most important thing was that these guys devoted all their energy to understanding the teachings.
"Or, we should look for Alex. General Ksei, he should be able to solve this problem! Zhao Chuanyun gritted his teeth and said.
"You can only try, otherwise, without three years, don't even think that these religious elements who have not completed their basic training will become full-fledged armored soldiers!
What the two did not expect was that after they passed through the Pakistani military with Alec Ahmad, who was in charge of procurement. After Keshei introduced the difficulties he was encountering, not only did Pakistan send a major who had just returned from China. Ksei himself came here.
"General, this is the biggest difficulty we have encountered at the moment. Even if it is a religious army, first of all, it must be a warrior, take on their mission, practice their skills, and give full play to the maximum performance of weapons and equipment in order to better serve your religion! Wen Shan looked at Alex very seriously. Ksey said.
They said to the Mullah Hazari of the army with such words, and the other side did not care at all.
In the eyes of Muslims, Allah is omnipotent, and if they are pious, Allah will bless them with invincibility, just as last year when the leader of Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty and established their own religious regime. (To be continued......)
