Chapter 66: Summary of the Vietnam War (Part II)

"The bombardment of Hue City by the heavy artillery company has indeed achieved very amazing results. However, it was a mistake of mine that I only gave the order to the heavy artillery company to bombard Hue City, and did not give the order to continue the bombardment after the enemy troops left the city; Due to the relatively long distance, the north and south of the enemy army could not communicate with each other at any time, and our communication would also be affected, so I could not know the battle situation in the Hue direction at any time, and I was negligent and did not give any orders to the heavy artillery company afterwards; It wasn't until Deputy Battalion Commander Liang sent someone to urgently ask for help that I gave the heavy artillery company an order to stop the bombardment. It was my omissions and mistakes that led to the sacrifice of ten brethren in the line of defense in the Hue direction; Fortunately, Deputy Battalion Commander Liang ordered the brothers in the first line of defense to retreat immediately, and retreated all the way to the third line of defense with machine guns, otherwise all those brothers might have died. Therefore, here, we must make a contribution to Deputy Battalion Commander Liang's correct judgment and decisive command."

This time, Master Liang did not lead everyone to applaud because he was also reviewing his mistakes, but everyone cast appreciative and respectful eyes to Tieqiao San Liang Kun, and Tieqiao San subconsciously arched his hand to the surroundings in a way on the rivers and lakes.

Commander Liang was about to continue, but Huang Qiying suddenly interjected and said: "The regiment commander has just made a self-examination and taken the responsibility for causing the death of his comrades on the Hue defense line on himself, then I should also bear the responsibility for the improper command when leading the second battalion to pursue the enemy, resulting in the death of seven brothers in the second battalion and the wounding of nineteen brothers; Brothers, we are here to review our mistakes, not because the regiment will punish us for our mistakes, but because we hope that the brothers will learn this bloody lesson in the future and not make similar mistakes in future wars."

Grand Master Liang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Master's speech! not only had the courage to admit mistakes, but also successfully turned everyone's attention to let everyone learn the art of battlefield command and learn the lessons from it; Instead of letting everyone complain and criticize their command mistakes, it shared and resolved the pressure of Grand Master Liang, after all, the image of the supreme leader needs to be maintained a little. It seems that although Master Huang is loyal, his IQ is still very high.

In fact, these officers know in their hearts that the command of Grand Master Liang is already perfect, and the flaws are not hidden, after all, no one is perfect, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions, not to mention that the troops on their side were really insufficient at that time, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and I am afraid that it would not be possible to change to someone else to command.

Although it was interrupted by Huang Qiying, the mood at the scene was still high, everyone was silently experiencing the ever-changing battlefield, someone would substitute themselves into it, what if I was in command?

Grand Master Liang waited for a moment and then continued to speak: "Now I will talk about the command of artillery. When the two armies face each other, the artillery can strike first, bombing the enemy's dense area first, killing and wounding a large number of enemy troops, causing confusion among the enemy troops; When the enemy begins to charge, it can take blocking bombing, that is, bombing the middle and rear of the charging enemy army, disconnecting the enemy's charging team, making the enemy's charge weak, and reducing the pressure on their own defense line; If a large number of enemy troops have already rushed over, then it is necessary to carry out interdiction bombing, that is, to bombard the front of the enemy's charging team, kill and injure the enemy troops in the front, and at the same time frighten the enemy troops in the middle and rear, and also reduce the pressure on your own defensive line. ”

After a few moments, he continued: "This is the artillery command when the enemy forces attack us. If our army attacks the enemy, the artillery can first bomb the enemy's position, focusing on bombing the enemy's firepower points to reduce the pressure on their own charge, and then the artillery can delay the bombardment and bomb the reinforcements behind the enemy. Of course, if we have a large number of artillery, we can carry out a more powerful barrage bombardment, that is, let the explosion point of the shells gradually advance in the direction of the enemy in a straight line, and the lethality of this bombardment is very terrifying, and of course, the consumption is also very large. ”

At this time, the officers of the Liang Jiajun really realized that the artillery could use so many bombing methods, and after the experience and comparison of actual combat, they found how important it was for the officers to have a correct command of the army. If you use it well, you can reduce your losses and defeat the enemy, or you may lose all the games if you are not careful.

At this time, Grand Master Liang picked up the teacup and drank water again, he felt that he should take a break, and talked too much at once, afraid that these subordinates would not be able to digest it.

The officers in the hall began to discuss in pairs. Yang Guangjin, the commander of the fat heavy artillery company who hid just now, appeared out of nowhere again, and was dancing with a few people next to him, boasting about how powerful the heavy artillery he shot out was, and the one who killed the Vietnamese was called a ghost crying wolf; Who knew that Ji Denggao, the former machine gun platoon commander who had been promoted to company commander by Commander Liang just now, had already targeted him and regarded him as a competitor, so he asked him next to him: "You are so powerful, why didn't you expect to carry out blocking bombing on the enemy troops who rushed out?" ”

One sentence suffocated the fat man! The fat man's face was red and white: "How dare I shoot a cannon casually, this cannonball is expensive, one will cost several taels of silver."

Ji Denggao bit him and didn't let him go, not giving him a way out: "Hmph! When did you still think about saving money, if you let the enemy rush to the position, I'm afraid that even the artillery will become the enemy's trophy! ”

But before he finished speaking, the slippery fat man disappeared into the crowd again!

After resting for a while, Grand Master Liang continued: "We were able to achieve victory this time, and the machine guns also played a great role in blocking and killing the enemy's troops. There is a saying among foreigners: recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns. There is a lot of truth in that; Machine guns are most effective against charging enemies and are more effective than artillery; Similarly, charging at an enemy can be troublesome if you encounter an enemy machine gun. The best way to deal with an enemy machine gun is to blow it up with cannon aiming; In this war, fortunately, Vietnam did not have long-range artillery that could threaten our machine guns, otherwise we would have lost with our little force. ”

Everyone agreed with him, and they all saw the terrifying lethality of machine guns on the battlefield.

"I would also like to commend the sapper brothers, who quickly built the fortifications of the defensive line, helped the artillerymen to build the artillery fortifications, helped the machine gunners to build the machine gun fortifications, set up the tents where we all camped, and escorted the prisoners and supplies, which was very hard! We would like to thank our engineer brothers for their hard work in this victory. After speaking, he took the lead in applauding again, and there was warm applause at the scene, which made the engineering officers present feel very warm and honored.

After the applause, Grand Master Liang praised his fifth uncle: "Finally, we also want to thank Deputy Head Liang for preparing logistics materials for us at the base and organizing transportation; Before the war, he went to Guangzhou to recruit skilled workers for the steel plant, so he did not go to Vietnam to participate in the war, but he immediately took over our logistics work after returning to the base, so that we did not have to worry about the lack of logistics when we fought at the front, and Deputy Regiment Commander Liang also made a lot of efforts."

Liang Haowen immediately greeted the surroundings, and said in his mouth: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed that I couldn't go to Vietnam to fight with everyone, I'm sorry and ashamed, I hope to fight side by side with you next time!" ”

When Young Master Liang heard it, there was something in the fifth uncle's words, dare to love him, he also likes to fight? Could it be that he was also a warmonger?
