Chapter 445: Cannon Fodder
"According to all indications, tomorrow the enemy's chosen breakthrough will be position four. Once the battle starts, the pressure on the fourth position should be the strongest. This is mainly due to the position of the number four. ”
It was already late at night, but the office of Yang Yujian of the teaching team was still brightly lit, except for the commander who led the team in the field, almost all the other officers of the Young Zhuang faction gathered together and held a combat meeting in an informal setting. The personnel involved in this combat meeting were extensive, and it could almost be called unprecedented, and even the two female comrades, Long Yanxue and Luo Ranyun, were called by Yang Yujian to attend this meeting. It can also be seen from this that Yang Yujian attaches great importance to this confrontation.
A makeshift defense map was spread out on the table, and Section Chief Qin, who was in charge of building fortifications, was holding a small stick and explaining in detail to Yang Yujian and others: "Everyone, please see, the fourth position is the most prominent in the entire defense line, but it is also a key node connecting other posts. For the sake of prudence, a squad of troops was placed at this post. In addition, the two recruits Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, who were later transferred, were also strengthened to this post. Originally, it was better to strengthen the two veterans, but the manpower was really not available, so I decided to let the two recruits go up first and the other veterans to hide first, after the battle began. ”
This is a high step to protect the commander, when the battle just started, the machine and the company are in full swing, and they are bound to attack this post with all their might, and the firepower will be quite dense at that time. If Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong are arranged to defend at the sentry post at this time. Replace experienced veterans to withstand the rain of bullets and bullets of the infantry company. It is highly likely that those veterans will be preserved and thus play a decisive role in the following battles. Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong can only unfortunately become cannon fodder.
Everyone present is a veteran, especially Yang Yujian, who is a veteran who has fought with real swords and guns, and he can understand this kind of strategy of Shangsi against Shangsi without using Section Chief Qin to say it too carefully. But Long Yanxue was very unhappy after hearing this.
"Section Chief Qin, at the beginning of the battle, the sharpness of the Jibu Company is probably the strongest, if at this time, let two recruits with no combat experience guard the sentry position. I'm afraid those two recruits won't last long before they have to die. Isn't it a bit bad to do that? ”
Section Chief Qin was about to continue to talk about the combat deployment, when he came from the corner coldly, and the voice was still female. I couldn't help but be stunned. Then he smiled and said: "Long Gong, this is also a matter of no way, the more the battle is at the end, the more critical it is, if they are arranged to go up at the end, in the face of the surging forces of the Jibu Company, the two of them will definitely be in a hurry." Once the number four position is lost, the entire defense line will be affected. Come and see. ”
As he spoke, the thin stick in his hand tapped a few times on the map: "The left side of position No. 4 is the heavy machine gun position, if this post is lost and broken through by the enemy, the heavy machine gun position on the left side will be completely exposed to the enemy's fire coverage." It doesn't take more than two minutes for the enemy to knock out the heavy machine gun. If we want to win this confrontation, the biggest guarantee is the suppression of the fire of the heavy machine gun, if this heavy machine gun is knocked out, at least half of our defense line will collapse. ”
He smiled slightly apologetically: "I know these two soldiers are your men, but the battlefield is so cruel, and sometimes, the necessary sacrifice is to achieve greater victory." As long as the two of them can hold on for five minutes, they can consume at least thirty percent of the sharp energy of the Ji Bu Lian, and the sacrifice of these two people is worthwhile. ”
Long Yanxue also knows and understands the truth in this, but understanding is one thing. Reality is another story. She doesn't care if Cheng Zhichao can make meritorious contributions, but it doesn't mean that she can watch Cheng Zhichao being pushed to the front as cannon fodder. Although the exercises used are all empty cartridges, and there will be no danger to life, as long as you remember that Cheng Zhichao has just entered the battlefield, you will be reimbursed before you can see the other party's appearance clearly. The beautiful chief's heart was quite uncomfortable. …,
Luo Ranyun saw her calm face and wanted to speak. Hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed her palm, squeezed it hard, and quietly threw a glance over, signaling her not to say more, and to obey the arrangement of her superiors.
I only heard Section Chief Qin continue: "Also, the two captives we captured are also a problem, these two people will definitely be placed on the battlefield when the time comes, and the location is behind the last line of defense." If the people of Jibu Company win, they will naturally be rescued, and if they can't break through the last line of defense, then it can only be said that they have no ability. These two captives must be guarded by at least four people to ensure that there will be no chaos after the battle starts, and our troops are not many, so they are even more stretched. ”
Long Yanxue Qi said: "The Jibu Company is only more than a hundred people, the number of people on our side is about the same as them, and they attack, we defend, and the fortifications are repaired in advance, in general, the situation on the battlefield should be beneficial to us, how can we feel that there are not enough soldiers?" ”
After everyone heard her words, they couldn't help but laugh. As soon as Long Yanxue saw everyone's expressions, she knew that she had asked a stupid question, and she couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, I don't know the doorway here, you forced me to come over for this meeting." Okay, laugh, I'll go first. ”
Yang Yujian was also laughing, but when he saw that Long Yanxue was a little annoyed, he quickly stopped laughing, glared at the two officers who laughed the most, and said to Long Yanxue: "Long Gong, they didn't mean to laugh at you, don't take it to heart." In this way, Xiao Qinzi, you can explain to the dragon workers why we don't have enough manpower when the number of people is about the same, and we have built the fortifications in advance. ”
Section Chief Qin was also laughing, but after listening to Yang Yujian's words, his smile immediately narrowed, and he said: "Although the number of us and the Jibu Company is about the same, and it is he who attacks and defends us, and the fortifications are all built in strict accordance with wartime standards, but in terms of equipment, we still have a certain gap with them." First of all, in the past, there were several confrontations with the infantry company and the reconnaissance company. The attacker can use any heavy weapon that matches it. There are even reinforcements. Taking the infantry company as an example, if the entire infantry company is fully manned, the personnel will be 132 people, not counting infantry vehicles, and it has 12 light machine guns, 24 grenade launchers, and automatic rifles. The company originally had a heavy machine gun squad, but Guo Peng would definitely strengthen in this regard, and for the time being, he would be considered a little more perverted, and it was conservatively estimated. It should be about four. ”
Long Yanxue had already planned to open high, walked to the door, and was attracted back by Section Chief Qin's words, and slowly sat back on the chair.
"And. According to the exercise rules finalized by the two sides, in addition, the machine infantry company can also have weapons such as direct-aim guns and mortars, of course, we can also have these things, but the number is definitely not as many as theirs. ”
Long Yanxue looked surprised: "He has so many people, and he is equipped with so many heavy weapons, is there enough manpower?" ”
Section Chief Qin smiled and said, "If you rely on his more than 100 people, it will definitely not be enough." But in the last confrontation, we were the attacking side, and the sheep team drew two platoons of people from the reconnaissance company stationed nearby to be responsible for the operation of heavy weapons. The sheep team can bring in two platoons of people to help in the battle. Guo Peng and the commander of the reconnaissance company, Bian Hongwen, are brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, how could Bian Hongwen not help his brother-in-law support the field when he opened his mouth once? Last time, Guo Peng faced a person who strengthened the company, and this time, what we have to face may be two real people. The number of people is not as good as others, and the equipment is not as good as others, so it is really uncertain who will win or lose in this battle. ”…,
Only then did Long Yanxue know that it turned out to be a real confrontation. It's not just the matter of the infantry company and the teaching team, even the reconnaissance company is involved. As a matter of fact, in the past few confrontations between the training team and the infantry company, both sides only sent out infantry, and the preparation of heavy weapons such as artillery fire coverage in the exercise plan was completed by the reconnaissance company. The reason for this is well known to everyone. That is the consumption of the exercise, if it is borne by the machine infantry company and the training team alone. Whether it is Guo Peng or Yang Yujian, they will feel a little painful. The best way is to bring in the reconnaissance company and share a part of the consumption.
Yang Yujian smiled and said, "Long Gong, do you understand now?" Our real opponent, in addition to the machine infantry company, also has a reconnaissance company. Of course, the reconnaissance company was only responsible for the operation of heavy weapons, and did not really participate in the battle and charge of positions, and even snipers were not allowed to let them out. Their snipers are all sharpshooters in a hundred, and once we let these people participate in the war, we will definitely lose. Speaking of this, I really have to guard against it, if I don't get it, that kid will have a mess. Xiao Tang, you pay more attention tomorrow, let's not let Guo Peng calculate. ”
Assistant Tang agreed with a smile and wrote down Yang Yujian's words in a small notebook.
"Next, let's talk about the situation on our side, the weapons on our side are basically light weapons, and there are only two mortars at most, so I plan to reorganize the entire unit into four platoons, with one, two, and three platoons deployed on the entire position, and the four platoons as reserves. Of course, the premise is that we can withstand two or three waves of offensive in a row. In particular, the four numbers must not be lost. ”
Long Yanxue listened to Section Chief Qin's stern words, and it was not good to raise any more objections, but she was still a little worried about Cheng Zhichao in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "What if the reinforcement class in the fourth position is all spelled out?" ”
Section Chief Qin was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Then the only way to do this is to transfer the reserves." As long as the No. 4 position is not lost, we still have hope of turning the tables. Once the reserves are used, it means that we can only defend, and we can't organize counterattacks, so in that case, we will be passive......"
The meeting was not announced until more than nine o'clock, and people from all departments hurried back to prepare for tomorrow's confrontation, and Long Yanxue and Luo Ranyun also walked out of Yang Yujian's office. The second half of the meeting has completely become Section Chief Qin's personal performance, this guy pointed out the country on the map, his mouth was like a river, his thoughts were clear, his speech was clear, and he made a rough deduction of all kinds of situations that might happen in the confrontation tomorrow, and he came to the teaching team for so long, this guy finally found himself today.
He was not the only one who found himself, many of the people present were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, but it definitely did not include Long Yanxue. It stands to reason that she is now a member of the teaching team, and she should be excited. But people are emotional animals, knowing that Cheng Zhichao is in a bad situation, how could Long Yanxue be happy?
Luo Ranyun followed behind her. I can fully understand her mood. But at this time, it was superfluous to say anything, and the only thing she could do was to follow Long Yanxue closely and give her some comfort when necessary.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"That, the combat deployment has come down, our squad has officially decided to stick to the No. 4 position, now I'll divide it into groups......" Veteran Wang gathered Cheng Zhichao and the others together, and used a few small stones to lay out the general shape of the No. 4 position on the ground. said: "More than a dozen of us are divided into three groups, four people in each group, Cheng Zhichao, Zhao Jiyong and Xiao He and the deputy class are in the first group, and the remaining eight people are free to form a team." I'm here to help. ”…,
Veteran Wang had already gotten the battle plan from Section Chief Qin, and knew that as soon as the battle started, he would sell Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, the two recruits. Anyway, they are all sold, and there is no one more person left, so Xiao He, who has the worst grades in the class, is simply assigned to their group. It's just that in this way, even he himself felt embarrassed, and after discussing it with the squad deputy, the squad deputy took them to serve as the first group.
The squad deputy is the same as him, a veteran oilman. Under his leadership, Cheng Zhichao and others should not have much problem holding on for five minutes. The deputy of the squad actually knows that Cheng Zhichao's group is an out-and-out group of death, but he is the deputy of the squad and a party member, in this case, knowing that he is cannon fodder, he also rushed to the front without hesitation.
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong didn't know this aspect, and when they heard that Wang Lao had arranged himself in the first group, they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and said that it was Wang Lao Bing's wisdom. I actually saw that I was a top soldier.
After veteran Wang finished assigning the task, he was afraid that Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong would have ideas, so he specially asked: "You two have no problems, right?" ”
"No, no, we are very happy with your arrangement, absolutely no problems. Please rest assured that the squad leader. We promise to complete the task, and the people are in the position. As long as we still have a breath, we will never let the enemy step on our positions. If they want to break through our defenses, they can only step on our corpses and move forward. ”
"Okay, okay, it's just a drill, not as strict as you say." This expression of determination was terrifying, and Old Soldier Wang hurriedly suppressed the words of the two eldest young masters, and instructed: "The position of our post is a bit forward, and tomorrow will definitely be the position of the enemy's key attack, after you go to the position, you must pay special attention to save yourself as much as possible and destroy the enemy." As soon as the enemy emerges, give me a hard beating, as long as you can beat the attacking enemy to the point of smoke, I will ask for credit when I turn around. ”
"This squad leader, you can rest assured, how can you say that the two of us are also training pacesetters of the recruit company, and we will definitely not embarrass our teaching team." Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's chests were banging.
The more they were like this, the more bottomless Old Soldier Wang's heart became, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that he hadn't separated the two of them. Looking at the state of these two, it is obvious that they are two guys who don't know whether they are dead or alive. This kind of person will either let the enemy kill him in the first round, or he will cause chaos on his side. But now that the formation has been completed, it is difficult to separate them again, so I have to advise: "After the confrontation begins tomorrow, live firing will be carried out first, of course, not guns, but cannons." The infantry company would use artillery fire to fire live ammunition at our positions for fifteen minutes. At this time, everyone must take shelter in a safe place and never go to the position, so as not to cause casualties. ”
Zhao Jiyong exclaimed "ah": "No, it's a real cannon, a real cannonball?" ”
"Shells are not like bullets, there are no empty cartridges. So the shells fired by the opponent's artillery were all live ammunition. We will place a certain number of dummies in the anti-artillery holes of the position in advance, and after the shelling is over, the number of dead will be determined according to the loss of the dummies, and then each group will enter the position and start the defense. It is important to note that the shelling is not over, and it is important not to enter the position. ”
"Dummy? Isn't there a formula for calculating it? Why do you still use dummies? ”
"The calculation formula is only used in large-scale exercises, do you think it is necessary to make it so complicated for a small-scale exercise like ours? You'll have to be careful not to think of yourself as a dummy and get into the position, or you won't have a single bone left. ”…,
Zhao Jiyong gasped, secretly wiped a cold sweat, and cautiously asked Veteran Wang: "Squad leader, what if the dummy placed on our sentry post destroys all of our homes with a round of artillery fire?" ”
"Then you're lucky, you don't need to go to the position, just go up from the second group." Veteran Wang smiled and answered his question with a wink.
"It's not fair, it's not fair, why do they have cannons, we don't even have guns and grenades, isn't this a bully?"
"What is fair and unfair? How can there be so much fairness. At this time, you should be fair to others, and they still have something to say, why don't you say that we dug the fortifications a few days in advance, and waited for his 100 or so people to hit the muzzle. Otherwise, his more than 100 people will attack our well-prepared position, which will not be enough to stuff our teeth. ”
"That's right, when they attacked, they couldn't find any hidden places, and if they attacked hard, it wouldn't take half an hour before we had to destroy them. But squad leader, I have a question. "Zhao Jiyong's biggest advantage is that his psychological qualities are hard enough and his skin is thick enough. Although he was damaged by veteran Wang, he was not discouraged at all, but had questions to ask.
Old soldier Wang was made laughed by him, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, let it go." ”
"After the shelling, how do you judge who should leave and who should stay?"
"You don't have to worry about this, the superiors have their own arrangements." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
