Chapter 303: Unexpected Situation
Unbeknownst to him, there was still the head of the division behind him, and the officers and men of the Iron Fist Regiment showed twelve points of spirit to deal with the problem in front of them.
All units, regardless of the class, have different directions and have the same mission.
In fact, the training plan does not clearly stipulate the arrival time.
Putting aside all kinds of subjective factors, the best choice is to rest on the spot and wait for the dawn, and carry out a rapid march in a good field of vision, which is definitely much more efficient than walking on a mountain road in the dark, and the probability of accidents will be greatly reduced.
However, from the day of its birth, this iron-clad camp has been deliberately created with a belief that exercise is actual combat; In actual combat, it is necessary to race against time.
This belief cannot be summed up by a simple sense of honor or the desire to win, because from the perspective of war science, when the battle is stalemate, the appearance of reinforcements from either side will most likely lead to a complete tilt of the balance of victory.
And in the most unpretentious words, it is to arrive one minute early, you can have one more chance of winning and a few fewer people to sacrifice.
In Xiao Chen's several years of military experience, he often accepted this most simple lesson.
The balance of victory is too illusory, far less vivid than the lives of the comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe around them.
Just over half an hour after leaving the training ground, the road ahead began to become unfamiliar.
Lao Hei took the initiative to serve as a reconnaissance detachment with a squad and scattered forward on his own to search and advance. Even Lao Hei, the last time the army marched this way was a few years ago. At that time, they served as markers of reference, some of which have long since disappeared over time, and some have been replaced by other buildings.
The only role that experience plays in this case is to aid in determining direction.
As the company commander, Xiao Chen followed the rear of the team from afar, paying attention to all the officers and soldiers in front with his keen hearing and thin skylight.
A rapid march is not a race run, and even if it is loose, it is necessary to ensure a certain formation.
However, a company was divided into several groups to advance, and Xiao Chen was afraid that someone would be left behind if one was not careful. Such fears are not unfounded, as has been the case in the past with many teams marching at night.
After two hours of careful walking, it was still dark, and according to the map markers at hand, the team was already only a few kilometers away from the easiest section of the road.
Xiao Chen was ready to ask the team to stop for a short rest, and at the same time replenish their energy in advance. According to the situation reported in the training plan, the meteorological conditions after dawn were not optimistic, and the possibility of precipitation during the march could not be ruled out, and it lasted at least two hours.
It was inevitable that the team would arrive at Highway 7 before dawn, but the precipitation in this season must be accompanied by strong winds, although it was not stated in the report, Xiao Chen's experience made him have to take such precautions.
The average temperature during this season is minus 8°C, and the precipitation is accompanied by winds of five to six degrees, and can reach up to seven to eight degrees.
It is inevitable that the difficulties of walking brought about by the wind and rain will be inevitable, but if the officers and men do not replenish their heat in time before then, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the whole organization to reach the end point quickly.
The rule of the troops, all collective events, is to start from the first place and finish at the last place. Fall any of them, and the four companies of sharpshooters in the rapid march are all zero.
Of course, the instructors of the division headquarters teaching brigade scored everyone, but in Gao Yulin's place, only each company was scored.
"Pass the words forward in turn, organize a break on the spot after ten minutes, and count the number of people in each squad."
Xiao Chen strode to the last soldier, whispered instructions to him, and then passed the same words to the last of the other detachments.
The team stumbling forward suddenly stopped groping, and the formation gradually shrank like a compressed spring, and finally formed a circle that was tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
Seeing that the company did not lose due vigilance due to the fatigue of the long march, the instructor who followed the team nodded secretly, bit the flashlight in his mouth and silently recorded a few strokes in the notebook at hand.
"I took turns taking breaks in class order and ate breakfast together. Time: Fifteen minutes, start. ”
In the surrounding circle, only Xiao Chen's deep voice flickered in the noisy wind in the dark night. There is no lighting, no excessive movements, and all maintain the slightest movement and sound.
Taking out the compressed dry food and taking a gentle bite of the light salt water, Xiao Chen habitually observed the surrounding environment.
This makeshift resting place is definitely not an ideal place in wartime. Not to mention that there is a hillside in front of the right that can fully cover the fire to this fan-shaped area for at least 500 meters, and the road directly ahead, if a minefield is preset, can stop itself for at least half an hour.
Thinking of the risks here, Xiao Chen did not immediately organize the transfer of the whole company.
The break time is only fifteen minutes, and such a toss is absolutely gone.
What's more, Lao Hei had already led people to reconnoiter that hillside.
didn't let the officers and soldiers toss, but Xiao Chen still habitually considered his own response when there was an emergency here.
At the same time, the instructor who was standing not far from the Fourth Company of the Sharpshooter and watched these officers and soldiers eating and drinking suddenly pulled a strange smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Attention to the fourth company of sharpshooters, the infantry behind the hillside, 150 meters in front of the right, meet the enemy."
In order to create an atmosphere, this instructor also deliberately fired an empty cartridge, and the sudden explosion and fire made the officers and men of the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters who were eating eager to spit fragrant mouths and pay a good condolences to this hateful instructor.
But the sudden hostility gave them no time to open their mouths.
"The third, fourth, and sixth squads, dispersed and covered in the fifteen-meter ditch in the left front, and immediately launched fire reconnaissance. Seven squads, nine squads, detouring from the right rear, attacked the enemy flank. The 1st, 2nd, and 5th squads, retreated fifty meters to occupy the right rear hillside, and the fire was suppressed. The eighth squad was made a reserve and sheltered on the spot. ”
Xiao Chen's reaction was completely beyond the instructor's expectations.
He has been training the company commanders in rotation all year round, and he has long mastered the distribution of weapons in each squad of the fourth company. And when he announced the emergency, he already had several coping plans in his mind.
Now the organization that Xiao Chen blurted out was more perfect than the plan he thought of.
The distribution of the three combat modules was made entirely in accordance with the position of each squad at that time and the equipment of firepower.
"According to your firepower, it was found that there was at least one company of troops behind the hillside."
Sensing that the unexpected situation seemed to be difficult for the famous company commander, the instructor increased the difficulty in due course.
No less than the firepower of the fourth company of sharpshooters, and it also occupies a favorable position, how to break the game next has obviously become the key to scoring Xiao Chen at this stage.
"One-two-five squad shooting, right front hillside rear infantry, grenade, instantaneous short delay fuse, full charge, firing to 5-30, gauge 223, direction datum firing to ......"
