After the No. 1 commander of the XX Military Region left the X Army, according to the instructions of the commander, the X Army's jungle operations and small group operations methods have a tendency to expand. In order to better achieve the purpose of training, the commander of the X Army began to pay more attention to these training units. Originally, our army did not have teaching materials for special operations, and no one knew how to conduct jungle operations and small group operations. There is no choice but to train while groping. After all, this combat method was proposed by Chen Weixiong, and of course he had to participate in it himself. Fortunately, he is now the chief of staff of the army, so he does not have to personally follow the soldiers up and down the mountain, in the bushes and grass.

Through actual combat exercises, the participants discovered some characteristics of jungle warfare and small group warfare. The first is that logistics are difficult to support. Everyone is burrowed in the woods, how do you let the logistics go? Either there are only a dozen or so people in one point, and there are dots everywhere in the mountains. Logistics simply cannot be replenished. This forces the warriors to have the ability to survive in the wild. The next thing is that there is a problem with the standard equipment of our army. If you are fighting on the plains, there is certainly no problem, but if you are fighting in the jungle, the backpack is obviously a cumbersome thing, and you may be hanging on some branch and become a live target for others. Then there is the standard military uniform, which at that time could not protect against snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants, and it was easy to hang up trouser legs when they were opened everywhere. There was no way, forcing many fighters to start leggings (many of these problems were discovered during the Vietnam War). The other is the issue of weapons and equipment. The standard Type 56 submachine gun is indeed a good gun, but when logistics and supply are inconvenient, its shortcomings are revealed. The first is that the gun is too long and inconvenient to carry, and the second is that it is too heavy. In order to bring more necessities and dry food, the soldiers were already very tired, and with a submachine gun of great weight and 150 rounds of ammunition that also seemed to be weighty, they were even more tired. Chen Weixiong, who is also a soldier, knows that in battle, of course, the lighter the burden, the better.

These problems discovered during the training were quickly fed back to the army commander, and after just a little look, the army commander felt the need to report to the head of the military region. After the head of the military district saw the report of the X Army, he also felt that this was a problem. As a result, the commander of the X Army and Chen Weixiong were called to the military region and began to think of ways to solve the problems they found. The head of the military region said that he should set up a unit in the X Army on a trial basis, see how the results are, and if it can be done, report it to the Central Military Commission and popularize it throughout the army. In fact, the first two are easy to solve, and the problem of the backpack only needs to add a downward pocket to the back of the current standard raincoat, and then throw the backpack or something inside. As for the issue of military uniforms, it is a little more complicated, and if the style of the existing military uniforms is changed, the approval of the Central Military Commission is required. The commander of the XX Military Region doesn't care about those: you do it first, and I'll go to the Military Commission when I go back. The last item clearly stumped the head of the military district. You must know that the weapons industry is a very complex system, and it is a big thing to change a standard of equipment. However, the commander of the X Army had already thought of a way.

"Chief, some time ago, the child of Chief of Staff Chen Weixiong made a small-caliber submachine gun with a punch bin bullet by himself, I tried it with the political commissar, and the gun was not bad, but unfortunately it was the last time I made trouble, and the gun was taken away as evidence." The commander of the X Army was actually more worried about this gun and wanted to get it back.

"Why is this still the case? You X-Army is so fresh, a bunch of kids, even built guns. Did your son make it up? The last question from the head of the military region was Chen Weixiong.

Chen Weixiong didn't know what to say at that time, he didn't expect that the army commander would talk about the gun made by his son.

"It's all a few kids' foolishness, and they can fire a gun." Modesty is a virtue of the Chinese.

"That's not what I said, chief, at that time, the political commissar and I tried the guns made by the children, with small recoil, high rate of fire, few parts of the whole gun, and they could also fire grenades directly." After all, he is an expert, and he is to the point.

"Yo, when you say that, I want to see what the hell is going on with this gun. Which unit took it away? "The head of the military district came to be interested.

"It should have been taken away by someone from the General Political Department." Chen Weixiong had seen the documents of these people.

The head of the military district began to call.

。。。。。。

No one thought that this gun would not come back at all now. It turns out that as weapons, especially weapons that you don't know, once they are handed over, they will first be seen by military experts to understand the origin of the weapon (if it is American, it may be a hat with foreign countries) and characteristics. But I didn't expect the military experts to see it and immediately affirm that this was a firearm that had never been seen before, and it could only be a homemade firearm. Originally, this matter was over, and who knew that military experts would be thinking about this gun. After many years of inventing and manufacturing firearms, he certainly saw the advantages of this gun at a glance. If Chen Weixiong has been suspended for inspection or knocked down, this gun must of course be kept as evidence, and who knows that Chen Weixiong will be fine again in a few days. As soon as he heard the news that Chen Weixiong was fine, he rushed to the General Political Department and asked for the gun. Originally, according to the regulations, once Chen Weixiong was fine, then the confiscated things should be returned. It was also the guns that were lost, and as a result, the guns and ZHA medicines in the things that were returned to Chen Weixiong were announced to be confiscated.

After the military experts got the sample of the Type 03 assault rifle, after repeated demonstrations, only some minor changes were needed to make this gun into standard equipment.

As a result, even the No. 1 chief of the military district did not want to return this gun, because it had already been dismantled and handed over to various departments for study.

February 17, 1979. The self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began, and Chen Weixiong and his X Army were the first troops to participate in the battle. Since in the entire PLA sequence, only the troops of the X Army have carried out targeted jungle and small group operations, so the most difficult and casualty interspersed tasks were assigned to the X Army.

Chen Zhaojun was not worried about Chen Weixiong's going to the front, he knew that in the entire self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the highest-ranking officer of our army was a regiment commander. Besides, Chen Weixiong definitely has to stay in the military command post, even if he wants to get injured, it is not an easy task, but fortunately, this is only a war of more than 20 days. No big deal. What Chen Zhaojun hopes most now is that the X Army will be able to die fewer people in this battle. Because he knew that once the X Army suffered too many casualties, then the disarmament of the X Army would be cut in two years. I don't know if the targeted training that Chen Weixiong engaged in is useful? Fortunately, it was only a war of more than 20 days. No big deal.

。。。。。。

Don't worry about the problem of his father Chen Weixiong, Chen Zhaojun should think more about his own problems. Chen Zhaojun is not a very ambitious person, he just hopes to make himself and his family happier in this life. Now, he's more concerned with some of the things he's been collecting over the past year or so about. Since the central authorities have clearly pointed out that the "two whatevers" statement is wrong, after this battle is fought, we will usher in a wave of reform and opening up.

Chen Zhaojun regretted it at this time, regretting that he didn't care much about the facts and politics at that time, and at least he should have cared about the economic development. It's a pity that there is no way to do it now. Fortunately, he still remembers the time of some major historical events. Based on this, Chen Zhaojun understands that it is not difficult for him to live a better life.

。。。。。。

On March 18, Chen Zhaojun's school organized all the students to come to the intersection of the military headquarters, so the children were informed. They are going to welcome the PLA uncle who has returned triumphantly. If it was a normal activity, the teacher would definitely not inform Chen Zhaojun, because he was a special case in the school and rarely participated in any activities. But on this day, the teacher felt the need to inform Chen Zhaojun. Everyone is important, and Chen Zhaojun's father is also among the PLA uncles who came back.

Chen Zhaojun knew how he promised the teacher, he only knew that he was very excited that day. When his father, who was marching in the queue, held him in his arms, Chen Zhaojun's tears flowed. It wasn't until this time that he realized how worried he was about his father's accident. During this time, he kept sorting things out or something, just to give himself a reason not to think about his father. Relatives, only relatives are the first in his heart!
