Chapter XXIV: Combat Experience

"Company Commander Cui! Company Commander Choi ...... The regimental commander called you! ”

In the evening of the same day, I was woken up by the correspondent in a daze, got up and rubbed my jerky and sore eyes, grabbed two handfuls of snow and wiped them on my face to make myself sober, grabbed my gun and followed the correspondent in the direction of the regimental headquarters.

Ten minutes later, I got into an air-raid shelter, which was already lined up on the ground full of people, most of whom were the backbone of the volunteer army, and I recognized several people from the People's Army as the Cui Chengxi and his guards.

As soon as I entered the air-raid shelter, I smelled a foul smell, there was no way, the conditions of the volunteer soldiers were poor, and it was very common for them to not take a bath or wash their feet for more than a month.

"Here's the thing!" When the head of the regiment saw that everyone had arrived, he pointed to the map on the wall and said, "Our goal tonight is here, to discuss the government." According to reconnaissance, under the fierce attack of our army, the US army, under the cover of the 29th Brigade of the British Army, has begun to retreat on all fronts. ”

"Good!"

"Hit him turtle son drop!"

"Let's catch up and beat him up a few more times!"

……

As soon as the soldiers heard that the American troops had begun to retreat, their faces showed the joy of victory, and they clenched their fists and shouted that they were going to pursue and kill the American troops, but they did not pay attention to the British troops in front of them.

"Comrades!" After everyone was quiet, Chen Ye said with a solemn expression: "In front of us, there are two regiments of the British army, including a British royal heavy tank battalion, our army basically has no anti-tank weapons, we have seen the combat effectiveness of the British army, compared to the US army, it is only stronger than the United States, not weak, so we can't underestimate the enemy!" ”

"yes!" Commander Chu added: "And there is a strange unit in the British army!" This unit has very good marksmanship, all of them are sharpshooters, they are good at disguising themselves, and they specialize in shooting and killing cadres and important figures of our army, causing great losses to our army. ”

Everyone was silent when Regiment Commander Chu said this, because many of the people present had seen this tactic on the battlefield last night, commanding with box guns, observing with binoculars, and zha medicine bags...... This is not only a matter of casualties on the battlefield, but also causes great psychological pressure on the soldiers, which to a large extent hits the morale of the fighters and causes command failure.

"So be it!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Chen Ye tilted his head and pointed at me after thinking about it and said: "Company Commander Cui of our regiment has successfully defeated one of the enemy's sharpshooters and cleared the way for our army to advance, we invite him to introduce his experience!" ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, how to fight a battle, I have to introduce experience everywhere, even in the league, and in this regiment...... If we continue like this, we are not going to make a lecture tour for the whole army.

But the soldiers next to me applauded vigorously, and I had to stand up in embarrassment and say, "I don't have any experience to introduce, it's just ...... It's to tell you about the enemy's troops, they call them snipers! ”

"What?"

"What?"

……

The first time I heard this name, it felt quite fresh.

"Call the Sniper!" I emphasized it again, and then said: "It's similar to our sharpshooters, but it's different, just like Commander Chu just said, these snipers of the enemy are generally hitting important people or important targets, so it's best for our cadres not to bring pistols to the battlefield." In addition, these sniper pistols are very good, and they can hit the target with a little reflection on the telescope or a little fire on the cigarette, so it is recommended that our cadres do not smoke on the battlefield, and when observing the enemy situation with a telescope, they must wear a veil on the telescope. ”

I saluted and sat down, and the warriors applauded me again.

"Old Chu ......," Chen Ye pointed to the telescope on Captain Chu's chest with a smile.

"Old Chen ......" Regiment Leader Chu was noncommittal, and pointed to the cigarette lit in Chen Ye's hand as if in return, which made the soldiers laugh.

"Straight to the point!" After laughing for a while, Regiment Commander Chu pointed to the map again and said: "The enemy's troop deployment is like this, the enemy guards the Dongdouchuan road leading to the Parliamentary Government with the strength of one battalion, and the rest of the troops of at least one regiment plus a heavy tank battalion are on standby in the Parliamentary Government, ready to provide reinforcements to the front line or provide cover for the retreat of the frontline troops. ”

After a pause, Regiment Commander Chu continued: "Our army's plan is like this, use a company to carry out a feint attack on the enemy guarding the Dongdouchuan Road, and the main force will ambush the enemy on the road to make ambush preparations, and after the enemy reinforcements leave the city, they will destroy the enemy's living forces in one fell swoop, and then capture the Yijun!" ”

"Cui Wei!"

"Here!" I reflexively stood up.

"You are in charge of carrying out a feint attack on the enemy's defense line on the Dongdoucheon Highway! Difficult? ”

"Huh?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and subconsciously replied: "Commander! We're all recruits! ”

"What's wrong with the recruits? If a recruit is not pulled out to fight, can he become a veteran? ”

"This ......" looked at the head of the regiment's eyes, and I knew that this task could not be postponed, so I had to salute and accept it.

"Do you have any other opinions, comrades? If there is no opinion, ......"

"Wait." When Commander Chu was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, Chen Ye stood up with a piece of paper and said: "Comrades, this battle may have to deal with the enemy's tanks, I specially found some fighters who had fought tanks, and summed up some experience with them. ”

After speaking, Political Commissar Chen Ye picked up the piece of paper and read it: "The US tank Iron King Eight, its stupid as a cow has ten fears; As soon as it is afraid that when the sun goes down when it gets dark, it will become blind; second, I am afraid that the infantry will lose it and fight alone and will not find a home; Third, I am afraid that the trench will be dug deeply, and I will be caught blind when I fall into the ditch; Fourth, they are afraid of the cement pit of hemp grass, and they are stuck in the mud with iron chains; Five are afraid of the mine zha medicine bag, and the fried ass blooms into the sky; Sixth, I am afraid of the slender blasting barrel, and if the chain is damaged, you can't climb; Seven are afraid that the rocket artillery will hit accurately, and smoke will be cremated inside and out; Eight are afraid of armor-piercing war anti-artillery, penetrating the iron shell and exploding; Nine were afraid of oil bottle grenades, and they were burned and blown back to their hometowns; 10. Finally, there is a big fear, the terrain of mountain battles is complicated; If you leave the road, you can't run, and if you don't move, you can't die. ”

"There are two, political commissar, and it's made up into a nursery rhyme!" Chu Tuan nodded uncontrollably after listening.

I also secretly praised in my heart, and this children's song covers the weaknesses of the tank and how to deal with it in simple terms. The volunteers generally have a relatively low level of education, and if you tell them the general principles of fighting tanks, they will definitely not understand and will not be able to memorize them. However, in the form of this kind of children's rhyme, I believe that it will soon be passed on by word of mouth among the volunteer soldiers.

It seems that the work of the political commissar is still very important!
