Chapter 31: Defense, a cat-and-mouse game as opposed to offense

Offense and defense are always a pair of contradictions, and after learning class offense, you will begin to learn class defense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When some companies visited, Yang Wenbin once saw the words "attack like a tiger, defend like Mount Tai" written on the pennant.

This reminded Yang Wenbin of a paradoxical story.

The story comes from "Han Feizi": There was a man in the state of Chu who sold spears and shields, and he first boasted of his shield, saying: "My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it!" Then he boasted of his spear, saying: "My spear is so sharp that nothing can be pierced by it!" Some of them asked him, "What would happen if you pierced your shield with your spear?" The people of Chu stammered and couldn't answer.

A shield that can't pierce anything and a spear that can pierce anything can't exist in this world at the same time.

But when a spear is the sharpest spear, and when a shield is the strongest shield, this is the best wish of every army.

This Monday afternoon, the class prevention class will be held.

They received the assignment from the platoon commander as the leader of the first squad of the infantry, and when they returned to the squad, they conveyed the task.

Its contents include: enemy situation, superior, own level, friendly neighbors, subordinates, letter marks, time limits, etc., different from squad attacks, it is necessary to indicate the battle demarcation line with friendly neighbors, who is responsible for the protection of its joint parts, the shooting path of the whole class, the concentrated fire area, and so on.

The tasks of the squad are then specified, including the front of the position, the ground tasks of each group, the basic firing positions of each group of firearms, the preparatory firing positions, and the intersecting firing paths of each group.

After assigning a task, the whole class directly occupies or searches to occupy defensive positions.

The squad leader designates one group as the search group, and stipulates the interconnected gestures and letter marks, and the other two groups cover the search group in concealment, and alternately cover and occupy defensive positions.

At this time, the squad leader ordered some of the squad personnel to rush to repair the fortifications, ask for ammunition, set up mines and barriers, and make all defensive preparations.

Then resist the impact of the enemy, which is divided into three situations:

First, the enemy's artillery was prepared, and at the same time, an enemy tank guided three motorized infantry men to clear obstacles in front of our position. At this time, the squad leader should order one group of one person as an observer to enter the observation fortification to observe the situation of the battlefield, and the second group should sneak out of the position near the front line, destroy the enemy tank with four O fire, and destroy its motorcycle, and the rest of the personnel will enter the cat's ear hole or the fallen part to cover;

Second, the enemy's artillery fire was deepening, and a tank guided the infantry to charge our position along the opened path. At this time, the whole squad quickly occupied the position, one group of sniper gunners laid mines in front of the trench, the second and third groups of four O firemen destroyed the enemy tanks, and the whole squad destroyed the enemy infantry with machine gun fire;

Third, one of the enemy's tanks had broken through our position and rushed to depth, while two tanks each at 50 m and 100 m in front of the position continued to attack along the path. The squad leader should first order a group of sniper gunners to lay mines in front of the trench, and the second and third groups of four O firemen to destroy the first tank in front of the enemy's position, and at the same time the second and third group leaders should prepare for blasting; Then he ordered the leader of the three to blow up the tanks that had broken into our position.

If it is unsuccessful, three groups of four-O firemen will turn around and destroy it with reverse fire, and then order the second and third groups of four-O firemen to destroy the second tank that had rushed to the front of the position 50 meters from both flanks, and at the same time report to the platoon commander the situation that three infantry troops appeared in the mountain pass, and request fire support to destroy it.

There was also a situation in which I was unable to recover the fortifications that had been captured by the enemy, and I received an order from my superiors to retreat to the tunnel, at this time the whole class was divided into two groups, one was a garrison group, which held the mouth of the tunnel, and the other group was an assault group, which entered the tunnel, and was ready to counterattack at any time, and the inside and outside should be combined to destroy the strong enemy who broke into our position.

The depth of the defensive position is 80-120 meters.

After listening to the class defense theory taught by the instructor and personally conducting a practice, Yang Wenbin unconsciously compared the defense theory of our army with the defense theory of the M army:

The standard operational procedures for the defence of Army M were:

One is to prepare for battle. After receiving the advance order or battle order issued by the company, the squad leader quickly issued the advance order and began to formulate a temporary plan based on the judgment of the situation and the analysis of the mission, the enemy's situation, the terrain, and the existing strength and time.

When possible, the squad leader surveys defensive positions and the roads in and out of positions.

The squad leader's reconnaissance team should always include a vigilance team responsible for maintaining vigilance, verifying the location of enemy troops, or marking past enemy activities, obstacles, traps, and nuclear, chemical and biological contamination.

According to the content of the provisional plan, determine and adjust the squad position and firing situation.

When the reconnaissance team returned, guides were set up along the road to maintain vigilance and assist in entering the position.

Based on the results of the investigation and other information, the squad leader completes and publishes the plan.

Each squad leader inspects weapons, ammunition, equipment, as well as spare parts and suitability for lost items of the squad and individuals.

The sergeant confirmed that sufficient ammunition, food, water and medical supplies had been provided to the squad leader.

All soldiers use the terrain to camouflage themselves and their equipment.

The class first rehearses the most important tasks.

The squad leader finally inspects the weapons, equipment, and personnel. The sergeant carefully checked the soldier's load to ensure that the standard military supplies were loaded in accordance with standard combat procedures and that they were not overweight.

If an advance team is dispatched first, the squad leader, sergeant and leader of the advance team inspect the activities of the advance team and reassign equipment to the advance team.

The second is to move to defensive positions.

Act according to the basic principles of movement: movement along sheltered and concealed roads. Avoid possible ambush sites. Enforce discipline in camouflage, sound, and lighting control. Maintain full vigilance, including the deployment of anti-aircraft surveillance posts. Depending on the mission, enemy situation, terrain, and available forces and time, the formation and movement method are selected.

The third is to establish a defensive position.

Make short stops in sheltered and concealed positions near defensive positions and establish local alerts.

The squad leader and a vigilance group of at least two soldiers moved forward to converge with the vigilance group on the position.

The squad leaders returned to their platoon and led the squad forward.

Occupy the designated position, guide the personnel to control the movement into the position.

When possible, the squad leader should walk to the front of the position, check the camouflage, and verify the dead spots. Check the setting of barbed wire and mines. Sergeants are briefed on the logistics plan, including resupply and casualty evacuation routes.

The final order is issued, which checks the mastery and understanding of the soldiers.

Constantly improve the position.

Fourth, determine the enemy's position.

According to the instructions of the company commander, an observation post is established and maintained, and a guard patrol is conducted.

Patrol posts, observation posts and individual soldiers, watching and listening, detect the approach of the enemy using night surveillance devices, binoculars, as well as platoon early warning systems.

Fifth, it is necessary to engage with the enemy and take action.

As soon as the enemy is spotted, the squad leader shall: alert the squads, sergeants, and forward observers. Report to the company commander. Recall observation group.

When the enemy enters the maximum range of your weapon, summons and corrects the intermittent fire.

According to the instructions of the company commander, the squad was organized to shoot at a distance and at a direct aim.

The squad leaders and soldiers returned to their bunkers to prepare, shooting as instructed.

Sixth, it is necessary to carry out defensive battles.

The squad leader determines whether he can rely on the designated position to destroy the enemy.

If the answer is yes, move on to the defensive battle.

The squad leader or forward observer continues to summon intermittent fire when the enemy is approaching.

The squad is usually within the maximum effective range of its weapons, that is, begins to strike at the enemy.

The squad strives to concentrate fire while starting to shoot in order to achieve suddenness.

Use long-range firepower combined with obstacles to disrupt enemy formations.

Lure the enemy to the area where the enemy is annihilated.

Prevent or limit as much as possible the enemy's ability to observe their own positions.

and annihilate the enemy when they try to destroy tactical obstacles.

Commanders at all levels control fire using standard command language, pyrotechnic flares, and other predetermined signals.

When the enemy enters more weapon range, increase the density of firepower.

The squad leader organizes each group to rely on the position, use weapons in pairs, avoid loading at the same time, and maintain the continuity of shooting.

When controlling and distinguishing fire, the squad leader considers the distance to the enemy, the priority targets, the closest and most dangerous targets.

transfer shots, concentrating on striking at targets designated by oneself and superiors,

The ability to shoot longitudinal and low body fire against enemy foot infantry.

The ability to strike enemy vehicles from the flanks with anti-armor weapons.

When the enemy forces approached the protective barbed wire, the squad leader began to carry out the final blocking fire, while taking the following actions:

Machine guns and automatic weapons are fired at or the final line of arrest along a staggered baseline, firing in a predetermined and planned manner.

Other weapons fire at the specified baseline.

Grenade launchers strike enemies in dead corners or attempt to break protective barbed wire.

If the position is supported by designated inter-targeting fire, an application may be made at an appropriate time for the use of intermittent weapons to carry out final interdiction fire.

Ban continued to try his defenses until he repelled the enemy and was ordered to withdraw from the battle.

Through the comparison of the two, the superiority is immediate.

The class defense textbooks used by the Army Academy are still the old methods used during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the 50s, but with the development and progress of equipment, the use of anti-tank weapons has been increased.

However, there are still major shortcomings in the use of firearms, the protection of air targets, and the summoning of aviation firepower. Moreover, this is only a textbook for motorized infantry, and there is no mention of how mechanized infantry should defend.

It seems that this textbook also needs to keep pace with the times and be revised as soon as possible.

Beginning last night, the first team conducted another night training, mainly talking about the tasks and assignment methods of the latent and mobile posts, as well as the relevant content of field service.

When the infantry squad serves as the company's sentry, it is responsible for the security of the company's camp.

The squad leader first sent a search team 200 meters away from the front of the class to search for the situation and use gestures or sounds to transmit messages and search and occupy the position on duty.

After the whole squad occupies the position, evacuate and hide, the squad leader sends an ambush outpost, personally takes it to the 200 meters in front of the position without obvious ground objects to hide, finds the situation and deals with it in time, the squad leader introduces the enemy situation, the direction of observation, the main observation direction and the disposal method.

If a suspicious person is encountered, the identity should be ascertained or the person sent by the squad leader should be brought back for investigation and interrogation.

In addition to the squad, the infantry squad can also serve as the company's top squad.

The top squad is about 500-700 meters away from the marching team, and the search group is about 200-300 meters away from the top team.

The spearhead squad may have 82 recoilless guns, engineer groups, and anti-chemical defense groups, and are divided into the first search group, the second search group, the reconnaissance group, and the fire group.

The first search group and the second search group alternately undertake search tasks, observing terrain features, setting up road signs, serving as a guard and opening up passages, eliminating enemy reconnaissance personnel and ambush personnel, and carrying out search operations at the same time when encountering complex terrain.

The reconnaissance group built bridges in the water, opened roads in the mountains, and detected the situation of the drug in the area where it was infected with the virus, and dealt with it.

The fire team covers the actions of the other two groups with fire when encountering the enemy.

This content is still very attractive to the students, everyone is very focused on learning, practicing very seriously, and I feel that it will be very practical.
