Chapter 45 Giving Advice

This is the first battle of our army after entering the Shaya Federation, and it is also the first battle of our army in nearly thirty years. The battle was sudden, it came suddenly, the enemy's gunfire had been going out for a long time, and our officers and soldiers had not yet reacted.

On the high ground, when Sun Zhenwu organized the whole company to summarize the battle, Sun Zhenwu said: "We are all soldiers in the new era, we have never participated in a war, and we don't know what a war is like. But today, we know. We had our first encounter with the enemy, we had the first battle, the situation of the battle was clear to everyone, the enemy was only five people, and we, nearly 100 people, fought for more than half an hour, paid the price of 2 dead and 3 wounded to take the mountain, what kind of combat effectiveness is this? Twenty to one. We must seriously reflect and summarize, all platoons and squads must reflect, and after summing up the lessons and lessons, we can grow more rapidly in the subsequent battles and achieve the final victory! ”

For Sun Zhenwu's words, I think it is very right, during the break, I have been blaming myself in my heart, if I have a stronger sense of vigilance, if I organize the whole platoon to climb the mountain more carefully, and the tactical actions are more solid, there may not be any casualties. But there is no regret medicine in the world, and I know that only by learning a lesson can I avoid similar problems from happening again.

In the next three days, the advance battalion of our left flank troops met the enemy five more times, and when they met again, we were no longer panicked, no longer panicked, and were able to respond effectively according to the battle plan, although there were some casualties, but on the whole the enemy was repulsed relatively smoothly, and the whole force also advanced fifty kilometers, gradually entering the Custelo Mountains.

During the whole advance, except for a few enemies encountered on a few hills, our side did not encounter a large force of the enemy, not even a force of several dozen men, which made our battalions very puzzled.

The whole force stopped, did not dare to advance in depth again, and if the enemy's reality was not clear, it would be difficult to grasp the situation if he advanced further.

The 2nd Infantry Company occupies a hill to the left of the assembly area and is responsible for guarding the area. It was stationed for three whole days, and there was still no news of any advance. The other two platoon commanders and I would get together every day to study.

At noon on the fourth day, the three of us got together again, and Liu Chaoju first said: "Xiaofei, didn't you decide to stop for three days at most two days ago?" It's been four days, why hasn't there been any movement? ”

I said helplessly: "It was I who overestimated the efficiency of our army's meeting, who would have thought that there would be no results in three days of research." How can this battle feel like training, and there is no effective plan for dealing with problems at all. ”

He Yao said: "It should be said that we still have a plan, but the plan is not very realistic." Basically, what is written on the plan is that the first battalion is on the left side, the second battalion is on the right, and the second echelon of the third battalion is ready to support the first battalion. ”

Liu Chaoju said: "Then tell me, what should we do now?" ”

I pretended to be surprised and looked at Liu Chaoju and said, "Chaoju, I didn't notice it, you would ask such a serious question?" According to common sense, what He Yao said just now should be said, and your question should be asked by He Yao, which is right. ”

Liu Chaoju said: "I'm in a hurry, it's time like this, don't talk about it." It's not a way to wait like this day by day. ”

I said, "We're just small platoon commanders, just chatting casually, even if we study some countermeasures, who can listen?" And who will listen? ”

Liu Chaoju said: "Who will listen to him, let's study a measure first and see if it works, at least we are really trying to find a way, and it can be regarded as learning to improve." ”

For Liu Chaoju, I was speechless and said, "Okay then." He Yao, tell me first, what countermeasures do you have? ”

He Yao said: "I think the enemy must have plans and ideas, otherwise we would not be in this situation now." Sun Tzu's Art of War says that knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles. I think the biggest problem we have now is that we don't have the enemy's intelligence information, so from the beginning of the operation to the present, we have been very passive and have always been led by the enemy. If you want me to say, what we need to do now is to reconnoiter intelligence and then study countermeasures. ”

I nodded and said, "I agree with He Yao. According to my analysis, the enemy's strategic intentions may be of two kinds, one of which is the empty city plan. It is possible that after the enemy understands that our side and the Shaya Federation are preparing to jointly destroy them, they think that they cannot defeat us, and they will definitely be defeated by us, so what is the battle to lose? It must have been withdrawn, and with the help of other countries, the main forces have all fled, and all that remains is to confuse and hinder us, so that their main forces will have more time to evacuate. This is the first possibility. The second is to lure the enemy deeper. The Custelo Mountains are intricate, and the deeper you go, the more complex the terrain becomes, which is more advantageous to the enemy. However, if we do not understand the terrain and blindly enter it, it is very likely that we will be ambushed by the enemy and divided and annihilated by the enemy. ”

Liu Chaoju said: "Xiaofei, how do I feel that you are like a military advisor during the Three Kingdoms, and the head of the situation analysis is the Tao. So what do you say? What are the countermeasures? ”

I said: "I am a military advisor, this is an obvious situation, I guess the leaders can see it." The point is, what to do? I think He Yao is right, we must first conduct reconnaissance, and after the reconnaissance is accurate, it is entirely possible for us to unite with the Shaya Federation to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If it were me, I would have sent a few drones to fly around the CustrΓΆ Mountains for ten or eight circles, and I don't know what the information is. ”

Liu Chaoju stood up and said, "Let's go, hurry up!" ”

I didn't move, I looked at him and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Liu Chaoju said anxiously: "Go to the company commander and report on the countermeasures we have studied, which can be regarded as offering advice to the superiors." ”

I was surprised and said, "Is this okay?" Also offer suggestions, pull it down, let's talk casually, what use can it be? ”

Liu Chaoju said: "Let's go, how do you know if it's useless?" ”

So, the three of them found the company commander and made a detailed report to the company commander on the situation just discussed, of course, the report was all about me, because Liu Chaoju and He Yao felt that I and the company commander were in the same company, and it was easy to talk. After saying that, the company commander Sun Zhenwu glanced at them and said, "It is really rare for you to come and report to me, and it is worthy of recognition." But what you said, I think leaders should be able to understand it. I had just gone to the battalion for a meeting, and I heard from the battalion commander that the command had studied and was preparing to conduct another comprehensive and meticulous reconnaissance of the enemy. As if the UAV is being coordinated to the superiors, the UAV is being prepared for reconnaissance using it. ”

Hearing the words of the company commander, Liu Chaoju almost screamed out in shock, Liu Chaoju didn't expect to be hit by me, and he really wanted to send a drone for reconnaissance.

I was also a little excited, and hurriedly said, "Company commander, what about the drone?" Hurry up and send it, what are you waiting for? ”

Sun Zhenwu glared at me and said, "You are a cabbage when you are a drone, and you will send it when you say it." UAVs belong to the UAV brigade of the Air Force, and the Air Force did not participate in this operation, so if you want to send unmanned aircraft for reconnaissance, you need to report to the headquarters, and after the headquarters agrees, issue a combat order, and the UAV brigade can come over, so it will take some time. I heard that the situation has now been reported to Headquarters, which is studying the feasibility and necessity. ”

When I heard that there was another meeting, I was about to go crazy, and suddenly I said emotionally, "Another meeting? It's really an endless meeting, don't the leaders know what a fighter is? If the enemy is retreating and moving at this time, we have delayed for so many days, the enemy has already withdrawn, and we can't even see the bird feathers. ”

"Gao Xiaofei!" Hearing my words, Sun Zhenwu said angrily: "Gao Xiaofei! Are you finished? I told you before that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and you can do whatever your superiors command and deploy, how can there be so much nonsense?! You have the level, you should be the leader to command the war, don't talk nonsense if you don't have that ability! And the two of you, if you all have anything to do, organize more fighters to train Summary, don't talk nonsense! Go back! Don't be an eyesore here! ”

I was scolded back by the company commander Sun Zhenwu again, I didn't care too much, I have always been in a company with Sun Zhenwu, I still know him better, scolding and scolding, but the person is still very good. It is true that what I said was a bit excessive, and it was okay to chat in private, but on the battlefield, I still went to the company commander to report the situation and said these things, which were not in line with the matter, and I should be scolded. But Liu Chaoju and He Yao don't know Sun Zhenwu Ah, they have all heard before, how fierce Sun Lian Commander is, this time, the two of them are long-sighted, and they are scared like chickens and go back.
