Chapter XXVIII: Military Exercises (I)

"The way of this exercise is very different from before, in my impression, in the past, it was the cadet brigade to defend, and the central teaching corps to attack, but this time it is different, there is no fixed attacker and defender, everything is set according to the battlefield, you can freely switch between attack and defense, don't think this is a good thing, the difficulty of attacking the city is much more difficult than defending the city. You should be good at seizing opportunities in battle, and understand for yourself how the red side will attack and how you should attack when you are attacking the city. Of course, sieges are more likely to expose problems, and it is easier to learn more experience. Everyone must start from the grassroots, from small to large, step by step, the growth of the military is accompanied by the blood of your brothers, this rare opportunity to practice I hope you can try to improve yourself, can make your own growth on the road to shed a lot less brother blood, to the real battlefield, every lesson, every growth will be accompanied by your brother's blood and your own soul torture, only across the past, you can gradually grow up, grow into the pillars of the country. Now the instructor and the commanders of each company will lead all the participating students to the exercise area to stand by! With that, General Zhang stepped down from the stage and boarded the car.

As the smoky car in front of him moved forward, He Jianye, like most of the trainees, marched to the exercise site in the suburbs with field backpacks on his back. The terrain of the entire exercise is not too complicated, the so-called cities are some high ground temporarily built up on the outskirts of Nanjing, and the firepower of both sides of the exercise is also very reasonable; heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles are all equipped with German equipment, and the weapons of both sides are the same, except that there is no actual combat support from artillery fire, it is basically close to actual combat. Of course, the lack of artillery support is also for the safety of both sides of the exercise, if there is an artillery support exercise, the city is just a simulated city, very unfortunate, when the time comes, the trainees or the teaching corps will die directly, then the exercise is meaningless. Of course, there will still be artillery support in the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides, but the commander-in-chief will provide verbal artillery fire support in a certain demarcated area at the command headquarters, and the referee will determine the dead on the spot. The complexity of this exercise is complicated: after the capture of the simulated city, it is necessary to destroy the other side's headquarters, which are heavily guarded and relatively hidden.

After reaching the exercise area, "several company commanders came out of the queue and went with me to the command headquarters!" The rest were led by instructors to rest on the spot. After Zhang Zhizhong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the front, several newly appointed company commanders, followed General Zhang to the headquarters of the Blue Army, the headquarters of the Blue Army was built on a high ground in the simulated city of the cadet brigade, "Several of you are company commanders who I have seen the usual training results and your own outstanding performance, if you perform well this time, you may be reused by the principal, I will remind you in advance, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and it is not easy to make the principal valued." I hope you don't be blinded by interests in the first place, a general, you must keep a clear head if you are suitable! ”

"Remember the instructions of the Elder of Education!" A few people are right,

"This time the principal came to watch the war, I was also under a lot of pressure, as you all know, the principal values the most is the education of the military school, and invests a lot of military expenses in the military academy every year, just in the hope that we can cultivate talents. Okay, of course, you don't have to worry about the pressure on my side, and I'll explain the situation about you now. I know your training results, they are not bad, as for whether the training results can be transformed into the level of actual combat, it depends on your performance. This training ground is the place to verify whether what you have learned can be perfectly displayed, usually the training results are not good, at this time the performance is not good, hmph, the result will be directly eliminated from the list of exchange and study in Germany. General Zhang Zhizhong looked at a few people with a little seriousness. Five kilometers away from our BLU SimCity is the RED SimCity area, which is where you will be attacking. In this offensive and defensive exercise, our side decided to deploy three companies in four directions for defense, and the other two companies were distributed as follows: One company was a reserve force, and the other company was the guard force of the headquarters, which could flexibly maneuver according to the company commander's command ability and strike at the opponent's vital forces. After the assignment is completed, it is not fixed, and the command will adjust the participating companies according to the battlefield situation, so don't have any ideas about the assignment this time. Zhang Zhizhong greeted several company commanders in advance and said, "Next, I will announce the task distribution of the company, the 1-3 companies will defend around the simulated city area, the 4 companies will be mobile companies, and the 5 companies will serve as the guard tasks of the headquarters." Now you can prepare according to the assigned tasks! The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides will start in four hours as planned. Zhang Zhizhong looked at his watch and said,

A suburb of Nanjing, a military exercise battlefield. RED exercise area.

This time, the Central Teaching Corps can be described as five companies that have done their best, veterans of a battalion specially transferred, and the guard company of Captain Gui Yongqing. Relatively speaking, although the veterans are not as educated as the cadet brigade and have not experienced systematic command training, they are people who have really experienced the war, and they have an indescribable momentum, that is, they have really experienced the murderous aura of blood and fire.

Such veterans have extremely rich experience in actual combat, to put it mildly, if it is on the real battlefield, in the face of these student soldiers who have not been tested by the war, these veterans have no problem beating them one by one, maybe these baby soldiers can grow into good commanders and generals in the future. But now, as ordinary soldiers, they are far from the level of veterans.

In previous military exercises, the Central Teaching Corps basically won, but this time Gui Yongqing didn't know what President Jiang really thought, and Gui Yongqing decided to do a real military exercise, instead of going through the motions. In Gui Yongqing's view, although five companies of troops were mobilized this time, the headquarters of the Red Army could not be lost, so two companies of troops were mobilized around the headquarters. Although Gui Yongqing also knew that it was taboo for soldiers to be too scattered, he always believed that the combat effectiveness of these baby soldiers, after all, had not gone through actual combat on the battlefield, that is, the two sides fought hand-to-hand, and they could use the strength of three companies to defeat the five companies on the opposite side. With this in mind, Gui Yongqing was ready to teach these students a good lesson, so that they could accumulate more experience in future battles. In fact, his defensive system was also learned in Whampoa, but he felt that he had already become a teacher. Occasionally, there is a slight change, and that is also a change in soup and not in medicine.

General Gui Yongqing pointed to the map and said: "This military exercise, the commission is expected to arrive tonight, this afternoon's drill task, you must be ready, once the time passes eight o'clock, our task of defending the city will begin, and all military operations will be arranged in advance." ”

A colonel staff officer said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, these monkey children have never been on the real battlefield, I think our Central Teaching Corps came this time, they are all veterans who participated in the Battle of Songhu, and they will definitely be able to clean them up!" ”

Several others also echoed: "Yes, yes, these students think that fighting is a game, this time there is no live ammunition, and it depends on the referee whether they die or not, otherwise the current level of their hundreds of people is really not enough." ”

It is no wonder that these people look down on these baby soldiers, in fact, it is also a fact, whether it is defending the city or attacking the city, these veterans who have participated in real battles are definitely stronger than these students who have not really been on the battlefield although the training system is perfect, the most important difference is the murderous spirit, the veterans have basically killed people, the difference between the two is an insurmountable chasm.

Gui Yongqing said with a straight face: "Don't despise these baby soldiers, although our overall strength is stronger than theirs, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, we must strictly implement the defensive plan to prevent them from sneak attacks." ”

The colonel's staff officer said disapprerovingly: "We have patrols on every path outside the city, and our fortifications are also very well built, unless they have large-scale siege weapons, it is impossible to break the city!" ”

Gui Yongqing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, everyone go and prepare, I am here to welcome the arrival of the commission, and the two of you will go to the front line to supervise the battle." Report as soon as you have a situation! ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the exercise troops all entered their designated positions. With an order, the whole exercise began.

A cavalry herald came galloping: "Report to the company commander, there are four heavy machine guns and twelve light machine guns on the enemy's city walls, two bunker fortifications under the city gates, accompanied by a large number of infantry. The whole city is almost airtight! ”

The colonel's staff officer frowned and said: "Looking at their firepower configuration, in this exercise, if we attack normally, it is impossible for us to capture this city without the support of artillery fire, but the chief captain asked us to take the lead in the afternoon exercise, even if we can't capture the opponent's city, at least it will cause attrition on the opposite side." ”

"Order, the infantry dispatched two companies to approach the opposite defensive zone in a field offensive manner, build trenches in the field, and shoot at the cadet brigade, giving them a dismount with accurate marksmanship. Teach them how to save themselves on the battlefield! The colonel's staff officer ordered.

"Yes, the two captains and company commanders responded to the battle." Under the cover of the machine guns that followed, the veterans of the two companies of the teaching corps opened the straggler line and slowly advanced to the defensive area of the cadet brigade.
