Chapter 227: How to Improve Combat Effectiveness (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Brigade A has finished the selection, and although the entire military region has been screened, there are only more than 40 people who can enter their sight in the end, and in the end, they can stay here, half by luck, and half by strength.
The sword of war is golden in the sky, and the iron armor reflects the sun and the sky. It's September, and the air smells of artillery fire. On a training ground located in the hinterland of Yanshan, Gao Cheng was leading a battalion of them to organize a composite battalion offensive combat exercise.
Combat vehicles such as hurricane raids, artillery pieces like lions roaring, bursts of radio waves like sharp swords in the air, infantry, artillery, armor and other more than 10 arms of the elements as a whole linkage and close cooperation, that is, at present they do not have a complete set of simulation training system, otherwise they can better reflect the demeanor of the modern army under information conditions.
This was Gao Cheng's first big move since he came to the first battalion, and it used to be said that how he got along with the officers and soldiers might just be a "small action" that could not convince everyone, but now is the time to show his strength.
"Your troops quickly gathered like 736 Heights and sneaked in the night." Deputy Battalion Commander Liu kept giving orders in the command vehicle, and there was no actual opponent in this exercise, and if there was, it was only an imaginary enemy composed of staff officers led by the chief of staff of their battalion after Gao Cheng discussed with the chief of staff.
If you want to say whether such an exercise is effective, just look at Gao Cheng's expression. As the chief director of the exercise, he observed the schematic diagram of the battle between the two sides in the command hall of the battalion headquarters. Yes, it's a schematic diagram, and there are no more advanced electronics here.
Looking at the situation map, a smile flashed in Gao Cheng's eyes. This time, the chief of staff estimated that Deputy Battalion Commander Liu would let them eat a deflated, after all, this is also the first run-in of the first battalion, and it is normal to eat a deflated.
"Blockade by enemy artillery fire ahead!" As soon as he left the camp, Gao Cheng, as the chief director of the director group, issued a notice to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, it can be said that his background was not successful, of course, the loss was not so big, and it was within the receiving range of Deputy Battalion Commander Liu.
"Drive with the lights off, pull the distance, and pass quickly!" Deputy Battalion Commander Liu quickly made adjustments based on the information he received, and he had no choice but to do so. At present, if the unit is a complete person, only his brain is sober, and the rest are completely unmatched, and this "going to the ground" is to adjust this mismatch.
"Boom, boom, boom", as a series of fierce explosions sounded, the communicator reported that "all but one of the front wheels of a supply truck was blown up." Hearing the report, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu was relieved. The other side did not understand the "hostile situation" of the other party, resulting in being yin by others before he "left the house".
"The repair team quickly went out to repair the bombed vehicle." Deputy Battalion Commander Liu decisively gave an order: "The rest of the vehicles continue to move forward." ”
Of course, Gao Cheng can't make them really comfortable during the march, this time the troops were pulled out in order to conduct actual combat drills, find out the shortcomings, find out the problems, if you just run around like this, do you think the troops have too much oil?
During the march, Gao Cheng, the chief director, came up with problems on the spot, and electromagnetic interference, chemical attacks, and aerial reconnaissance were all over the place. In the face of danger, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu and their battalion also had a difficult time to deal with.
It's not that Deputy Battalion Commander Liu has no experience in exercises, or that he is not capable enough to be so hurried, but because the coordination between the troops is too poor, he can't use the unit he leads flexibly.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, Company Commander Yu reported that reconnaissance of the enemy has been carried out in advance, is it open to them the right to call for artillery support at any time?" The correspondent said to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, who was looking at the map in the command vehicle.
"Well, Company Commander Yu? Comrade Yu Chengfei, they can do this operation, and the work has been done in advance, which is worthy of recognition. Tell them that if they confirm the enemy's command position, they can call in our artillery support. Deputy Battalion Commander Liu was very surprised by Yu Chengfei's actions of his company, and in his heart, the task of this support company was similar to the logistics of their original troops.
Although in their first battalion, the configuration of this company is relatively more complete and the troops are more complete, but in general, it still has more attributes of support. Unexpectedly, now it is their turn to take the lead.
Although he was surprised, as long as he could ensure the smooth progress of this exercise, he did not mind Cheng Fei and his company acting as "assaulters."
Gao Cheng "observed" this exercise from the battalion headquarters, although it was only a very simple exercise, and it may be more appropriate to call it a training exercise, after all, there was no opponent for the exercise. But as far as he could observe, what he saw was a bunch of disorderly play.
It cannot be said that Deputy Battalion Commander Liu does not have the ability to make tactical arrangements, but the analysis of command elements, operational elements, and battlefield environment is still only based on the experience of the original troops. Of course, this will have a different effect, think about it, if it is just a single tank battalion or armored infantry battalion, their combat mode will definitely be different from the tactics of their current battalion.
It's like you've mastered the rules of boxing, but suddenly you're on the stage of sanda. Not only can they use their fists here, but they will even give you two kicks from time to time.
Deputy Battalion Commander Liu may have come from a single branch of the army, and his philosophy is somewhat similar to Yu Chengfei's. For example, he is now focusing on the tank company of his battalion, and wants to use the mobile company to attack the positions on both sides of the opponent.
And for the other companies of the first battalion, it is not abandoned. However, its function is equivalent to miscellaneous, and it does not highlight the linkage of its composite battalion strength. It is said that with a battalion of troops of this configuration, if properly trained, there is no problem in resisting a regiment.
Although this was a sudden "exercise" mission, there was a time when everyone was ready to start a war. Therefore, for this exercise, Gao Cheng has a purpose, so that they can understand the meaning of the existence of this unit.
The first battalion was not formed for the sake of good looks, nor was there any special task to temporarily form a synthetic battalion. They may become an important component of future wars, or even a unit of war on the battlefield.
Later wars will be local operations conducted by battalions, because they already have this ability in terms of organization.
"You are being attacked by the enemy behind your back, and it is judged that you have lost the ability to continue advancing." Gao Cheng looked at the information coming from the front, and constantly reported on the offensive and defensive posture of the "two sides". After all, there is no complete exercise system, otherwise there would be no need to be so manual, and the information he arrives is often very lagging behind.
Fortunately, this time it was the officers of his unit who realized the inadequacy of their current force. But after this time, Gao Cheng was determined to establish this system as well. It is not because he advocates informatization that he did this, because it is also related to his future training plan for the troops.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, is there a mistake in the judgment of the battalion commander? There are no troops behind us, why were they attacked? The adjutants in the command vehicle with Deputy Battalion Commander Liu were also puzzled.
"We were a bit of a risk, and we only arranged two tank companies to attack head-on, but for several other companies, especially the support company, in addition to the reconnaissance platoon action, it is estimated that several other platoons are waiting for orders. Hey, I hadn't thought much about their company before, but now there was such a big mistake. After saying that, he sighed in disappointment.
Not only did Deputy Battalion Commander Liu feel lost, but the people in the command vehicle were like frosted eggplants. After all, their operational philosophy is also like this, and the command of the troops must be the same as that of the commander-in-chief.
But today they found that their tactical command ability seemed to be a bit ineffective here, which made them how to cheer up.
"Report to the chief, I even have a suggestion for the soldier Wang Yadong." At this time, when there was silence in the command vehicle, a voice came out of the communication.
Of course, this is not Yu Chengfei's company, they are currently being "arranged" by the director team to be interspersed with the enemy troops behind the first battalion. At this time, Cui Yingjie, the company commander of the pretending infantry company, spoke.
"Oh, what advice do you have there?" Deputy Battalion Commander Liu heard that there was a way to break the situation on his side, and hurriedly asked in the communication.
"Chief, at present, our side is attacking the positions on both sides of them, can we concentrate our firepower on the front of the position, delay the attack speed of the enemy's main force, and allocate some troops to quickly annihilate the enemy's interspersed detachments to ensure the safety of the rear." This time it was not Cui Yingjie who spoke, it might be the soldier in their company.
"Can you guarantee the success of the blockade, if not, I don't want to exchange the sacrifice of the front-line troops for the peace of the rear." Deputy Battalion Commander Liu considered the troops as a whole, because although they had suffered from the opponent's interspersed attacks here, it could not be a large-scale force, and the impact on their troops might be the command structure.
"Report to the chief, we can. As long as we can quickly eliminate the opponent's interspersed personnel, we will definitely be able to complete the task. A firm answer came from the other side.
Whether or not to implement this strategy is considered by Deputy Battalion Commander Liu. It's not that he hesitated about anything, but he was thinking about a way to solve the problem after they were "raided" this time.
Their "opponent" this time is obviously proficient in the role of various arms, unlike him, but he has a deep understanding of the tactical arrangement of the tank company. This also caused that their battalion had an unfair side from the beginning, although the two sides were consistent in the allocation of troops, but in the deployment of troops, their own side was a complete defeat.
"Then follow your plan." After thinking clearly about the cause of this incident, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu quickly made arrangements, and he also understood the purpose of this exercise in his heart, and it is estimated that it was to let them understand this, so the battalion commander arranged this exercise.
In a composite battalion like theirs, the future combat mode will certainly refer to the command mode in which the fighters cooperate with multiple operational staff officers, and compared with the tactical arrangement of a single branch, it is no longer suitable for the combat methods of their battalions.
Since it is necessary to cooperate with multiple arms in combat, and it also needs staff officers who are proficient in various arms of the armed forces, then the staff officers will go to find it, and the soldier who provided contact just now is an example, and it is estimated that their battalion will usher in a new kind of combat organization in the future, that is, soldiers who also serve as combat staff officers.
