It was almost midnight when Qin Xiao, Luo Chuan and Liu Dongsheng finished drinking, and the three of them were all drunk, but fortunately, the hotel was not far from them, and several people helped each other and stumbled into the hotel. The three of them fell asleep when they entered the house, until the next day, at noon, the instructor Wei Ke came to wake them up.

In the car, Wei Ke said to Luo Chuan:

"Lao Luo, our group is going to have a red and blue confrontation next week, and you don't prepare for it, how can we clean up the gang of boys in the Seventh Company?"

Luo Chuan said nonchalantly:

"It's okay, the soldiers I brought out can clean up the seventh company at any time!"

This week, two battalions of the whole regiment were dispatched, leaving only a small number of troops, all of whom went to the field for training, and the subject was jungle warfare, and the two battalions were divided into red and blue sides to confront each other.

Qin Xiao had just arrived as a recruit, and although he had adapted to most of the training subjects, he had never experienced real drill confrontation, after all, the slightest carelessness in the field confrontation exercise would cause casualties.

The purpose of this exercise was mainly to test the troops' ability to deal with a complex environment and an unknown enemy situation. The training ground is a wilderness and hilly area, but in fact, for both sides of the training ground, the battle line is too long, and the troops are too scattered, which is also specially arranged by the regiment headquarters. The whole training lasted for two days, and finally the regimental headquarters decided the victory or defeat, during which there was no supply, and the soldiers on both sides only had individual rations and combat equipment, so for the battalion-level units, what should be handled well is how to harass and counter-harass when the troops are scattered, and finally achieve victory.

Qin Xiao's fourth company is responsible for the assault from the left flank, the purpose is to contain the enemy's main force, it is the enemy army who mistakenly thinks that it is the main direction of attack, whoever takes off the flag of the opponent's command post first wins, if the two sides do not complete the strategic objectives during the exercise, then according to the strategic situation of the two sides, the number of effective forces, etc., judge the winner or loser.

As soon as the signal sounded strongly, the exercise began, Qin Xiao said to Luo Chuan, in such a large place, the strength of a battalion is simply full of loopholes, it is impossible to hold it, if the other side sets up a Luka outpost in a key place, it will be difficult for the armored troops to form a breakthrough, the key is which side advances faster, to be precise, which side is faster, not the battle line advances faster.

Luo Chuan said:

"That's right, if we all put our forces into the attack, our advance will be fast, but if there is a little force to block, the attack will be slowed down, if the opponent has a force from a place full of holes, it is really difficult to say whether the winner or loser, it depends on luck."

Qin Xiao said unhurriedly:

"It doesn't necessarily depend on luck, if the net is very large, we might as well become small fish, take the squad as a unit, split the line assault, there are always one, two or even more swim over, and then gather at the designated place, become a big fish, and go straight to the other party's nest, how about it? This is the old traditional guerrilla warfare tactic of our army! However, this would be a violation of the battalion commander's orders. ”

"Wonderful!" Luo Chuan said excitedly: "What are you afraid of, as long as you can win." ”

Therefore, Luo Chuan made arrangements for the whole company, set up two assembly points in the squad unit, selected the nearest coordinates to assemble according to the situation, and ordered that it must arrive before 10 o'clock in the evening of the next day in 36 hours, and launch an attack on time at 11 o'clock.

Luo Chuan and Qin Xiao's first class set off together, and Wei Ke and Liu Dong were promoted to the second class, each marching from different routes. It is also lucky, Qin Xiao's route did not encounter resistance, he killed all the way, and arrived at the destination at a little more than nine o'clock in the exercise site, Luo Chuan also said that this trick really worked, and then ordered everyone to hide and stand by. After that, several classes rushed over one after another, and the time was not yet eleven o'clock. Qin Xiao said that he would attack in advance, and Luo Chuan said:

"The people are not even, and the time has not come, so one by one is equivalent to adding fuel to the tactics, and the soldiers are taboo."

"The soldiers are fast, the troops coming from behind will be put into battle, first let the snipers of each squad find their own blocking positions, and the rest of the people will all attack, the sooner they can attack, the more they can hit the suddenness, rather than waiting for the arrival of other troops to make the other party vigilant, it is better to attack as soon as possible, and catch them off guard, and the more people there are, the easier it is to be exposed in this ambush." Qin Xiao explained.

Luo Chuan also felt that it made sense, so he ordered the snipers to take position and attack in advance.

The attack was very smooth, and in the end, the four companies won the victory, and the regiment commander also came to observe it in person, Luo Chuan called Qin Xiao to the regiment commander and told him the whole offensive process, and the regiment commander Ma Jinshan was also amazed.

In the office of the regiment headquarters, Liu Jinshan called Qin Xiao over and said:

"Last time your table was good, do you know why?"

"Report, because we won." Qin Xiao replied.

"Not exactly, in fact, if you attack in ten minutes, you may lose." Head Ma continued:

"Tell me what you think."

Qin Xiao secretly rejoiced, and then said:

"Actually, you're here to talk to me about the drill with the special forces, right?"

"You kid monkey spirit monkey spirit" The regiment commander continued: "I won't tell you anything, we are going to fight against the opponent last time in this year's military exercise of the military region, and this time I patted my chest with the division commander. I heard that you have some crazy ideas, so I asked you to talk about your opinions. ”

"In fact, I have told Company Commander Luochuan that the training of special operations is aimed at conventional troops, and the training of conventional troops is actually aimed at facing conventional combat forces in the future. So, we should also seize the weaknesses of the special forces. ”

"Go on." said the head of the regiment.

Qin Xiao continued:

"The weakness of the special forces is that they are too confident from officers to soldiers, and this is their weakness."

"How?" Captain Ma then asked.

"Special forces are also soldiers, so they have experienced all the tactics training and tactical thinking that we have experienced. So they feel very clear from their hearts, and their equipment is the most advanced, but we are not necessarily or cannot be fully equipped, their tactics are the most advanced, and our tactics are restrained. Qin Xiao continued:

"So, we should find a way to deal with them, or a way to fight them in a way they don't know."

The head of the regiment then asked:

"Do you have a good way of playing?"

"Does the head of the regiment know about the Enigma cipher machine?" Qin Xiao asked rhetorically.

"Of course you know, it's an antique from World War II, what can you do with it?" The head of the regiment was a little disdainful.

Qin Xiao explained unhurriedly:

"Actually, I want the regiment commander to try radio communication, but because the translation process is complicated and time-consuming, I built yì to use Enigma, this machine can actually be simulated by computer into software, but in that way, it is possible to be destroyed by electronic interference, so we must use the most primitive, the simpler the equipment, the stronger the practicality, the better the reliability, think about Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov A simple AK-47 assault rifle can rule firearms for more than half a century, Isn't it because of its simplicity that it still leads the world today? ”

Captain Ma nodded thoughtfully.

Qin Xiao continued:

"In fact, this kind of simple equipment is used by ordinary communication soldiers, and even some civilian facilities are still in use, so we switched to long-wave communication, so that the regiment commander's headquarters can be quietly hidden. The regiment commander, you can even bring a machine yourself, and you can contact the company, platoon, or even squad-level units to give orders directly. ”

The head of the regiment said disapprovingly:

"But if the code book is seized on the other side, what should we do, aren't we under the control on the other side?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, Captain, and there's a secret code that won't be discovered." Qin Xiao said mysteriously.

"What password?" The head of the regiment asked.

"Fingerprints."

Qin Xiao's answer made Captain Ma even more puzzled and even a little annoyed, and said:

"You won't let me personally check the fingerprints of the people who receive the reports thousands of miles away before sending them!"

"Of course not." Qin Xiao continued:

"Does the head of the regiment know about the novel "Secret Calculation"?"

"I don't know." The regimental commander replied.

"In fact, to put it bluntly, everyone has everyone's habits, voice, action, temper, of course, including sending reports, just like human fingerprints, although long-wave radio stations only have two sounds, ticking and answering, but different transmitters will have different habits, in the novel, our army relies on a blind man with excellent hearing to listen to the sender's habit to crack the spy organization."

"Where do I go to find someone with good hearing?" As soon as Captain Ma heard this, he asked.

"We use a simple dotter to record their atlas information, and manually check the reporting techniques of common words carried out by each sender, and when the message comes out, the authenticity of the results will also come out. At this time, we can distinguish whether the other party has been captured or the codebook has been captured according to the authenticity, because the enemy does not dare to let the captive send a report, because he is afraid that the captive will be killed willingly, and will send a report to report that he has been captured. Therefore, the seized codebook can be found. Qin Xiao continued:

"Our commonly used military terminology, so that each company, each platoon and even each squad are familiar with the pre-designed password drill, we can record it in advance, make a "fingerprint code book", of course, this code book is only known and saved by the regiment commander, there will naturally be a situation where the code book is seized during the battle, at that time, we can distinguish the authenticity, not that we have lost, but we can obtain the information of the other party without being noticed by the other party, but this matter can only be kept secret by the regiment commander. ”

Ma Tuanzhan suddenly realized, whatever he said, he would invite Qin Xiao to his home for dinner, there is still a month left in the Li Military Region exercise, and then study the specific arrangements for the next step, and more importantly, keep it secret, Luo Chuan can't say it.

After the meal, Qin Xiao saw that there was Go in Ma Jinshan's study, so he went over to play it, and Ma Jinshan came over and asked:

"You can also play Go?"

"I don't know much, I just know a little bit about the rules, but Go is really broad and profound." Qin Xiao said.

"Hehe, you don't know how to play Go, you know that Go is broad and profound?" Ma Jinshan said deliberately.

"In fact, Go is broad and profound, not necessarily only masters can appreciate it, you can't only pay attention to the local fight to do the work, but also pay attention to the overall layout, but if you only look at the whole, and don't care about the part, in the end it is also a game of loose sand, and you can't do it, and you can't do it. This is the same as Sun Tzu said, those who do not seek the world are less than a certain time, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not, and it is a truth that they are enough to seek a domain. Qin Xiao continued.

"In fact, in the operation, the overall situation and the local situation are long in front of the present, and the strategy and tactics are in the same word 'potential', which lies in creating momentum. Therefore, Wu Qingyuan is considered by Japan to be a Go master who has reached the realm of heaven and man, and the unity of heaven and man is to integrate the whole and the part. ”
