Chapter 18: Military Academy Confrontation (2)
Song Zhewu knew that this was Shang Zhen's re-examination to teach him, to be honest, Song Zhewu couldn't look down on such a drill at all, as far as the attacking side was concerned, except for the good quality of individual soldiers, the others were all lackluster. To tell you the truth, I am afraid that I will offend these instructors, and it will take some twists and turns to fight their ideas in the future; If he is greeted with hypocrisy, his "glorious image" in Shang Zhen's eyes will inevitably be a little dim. After thinking about it, the lesser of two evils, I decided to tell the truth. Even if these instructors resent him because of this and threw themselves into other units, if they could reflect on and improve because of their own words, they would also deal a heavier blow to the little devils in the future War of Resistance, and the Chinese soldiers would have less blood. What's more, if they don't show some skills, many of these people will think that they have bought this major general, which is not conducive to their idea of beating them in the future.
In the eyes of everyone with "anticipation", Song Zhewu cleared his throat and said in a flat tone as much as possible: "Since Chairman Shang has a life, Zhewu will be ugly, and if it is inappropriate, please correct it." First of all, I think the quality of the individual soldiers of the cadets is still good, whether it is the posture during the attack, the choice of route during the attack, or the use of obstacles. In everyone's eyes, Song Zhewu changed his words: "However, this should be the only highlight in this drill." As soon as Song Zhewu said this, Shang Zhen, Wang Zhe, all the instructors, the directors of each department, and the captains of each district were all surprised! In this exercise, the tactics are absolutely decent, and even some parts are clearly stated in the regulations of foreign armies, but in the eyes of Song Zhewu, they are absolutely penniless! But after they were surprised, most of them quickly disagreed, although they didn't say it explicitly, they were all in the same mind, bluffing, unashamed, and even adding the words "no learning and no skills". is an official who is bought by money. Although Shang Zhen also didn't believe Song Zhewu's words, Liu Pei and Wang Xinggang both said that Song Zhewu had a set of military training, and he had seen the soldiers of the security brigade, which was indeed very good, and it could be said that he was well-trained. So he really wanted to hear the reason why Song Zhewu said this, is it really as Song Zhewu said?
Song Zhewu saw everyone's expressions, smiled and continued: "Everyone may think that I am playing tricks, and some people may even think that I am not learning and talking nonsense, so I will comment on this offensive and defensive drill now." First of all, the coordination of infantry and artillery is not good, specifically, the attack of the infantry and the firing of the artillery are out of touch. The infantry attack started at a distance of 200 meters from the target position, and after the shelling of the position stopped, the infantry began to charge. The distance of 200 meters is on flat ground, and it is impossible to complete it without three minutes due to various tactical evasion maneuvers. It should be said that the attacker's impact speed in the exercise just now was still very fast, and when it was 100 meters away from the target position, it took two minutes and 20 seconds. When rushing from 100 meters to 30 meters from the target position, it took two minutes, and the two sections totaled 4 minutes and 20 seconds, which was enough time for the defending troops to enter the position in time. It took 2 minutes and 30 seconds for the defenders to enter the position, and by the time the attackers entered 80 meters from the target position, the defenders were ready for battle. Secondly, in the process of attacking, the soldiers rarely cooperate with each other, and there is almost no mutual cooperation between the platoons and platoons. The third is that the artillery did not carry out extended fire after the shelling of the position, the defender left only one platoon on the position, and after the shelling stopped, other units entered the position, and if there was extended fire, there would be heavy casualties before the units of the defense artillery behind the mountain entered the position. There is also a problem with the defenders, the artillery is too far away, and if the opponent shoots extendedly, or even if the artillery fire is dense enough, the defenders will have little left after entering the position. The second is that after the attackers retreated, they did not defend against artillery in time, resulting in large casualties in the secondary shelling. This kind of offense and defense is a fight for people, as long as one side has enough personnel, it will achieve the final victory. ”
After Song Zhewu finished speaking, everyone didn't say anything, they didn't think that Song Zhewu's words were unreasonable, on the contrary, they thought that what he said was very reasonable, but it was easy to say but not easy to do.
Gu Xiongyi stepped forward, saluted Song Zhewu, and asked, "Commander Song, what you said just now is very reasonable, but how to solve it?" ”
Song Zhewu Gu Xiongyi's question represents everyone's thoughts, looked at Gu Xiongyi and said: "To solve these problems, we must pay attention to the following points: First, the starting point of the attacker's attack must go forward to within 100 meters of the target position. Second, in the charge, soldiers and squads should cooperate with each other, cover each other, and cross attack. At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job of fire suppression; As the defending side, it is enough to leave a squad in the position, and the rest of the personnel can dig a strong bunker behind the position to defend against artillery, and not too far from the position. ”
Gu Xiongyi was still chewing Song Zhewu's words carefully, and most of them were still expressionless.
Song Zhewu thought to himself, if he didn't show his real skills, he really couldn't suppress them. "Chairman Shang, listen to me, you don't have a sensory image yet, so it's better to let my guard company play the role of the attacker for a drill." Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they all said yes.
With the experience gained from his many years of military career, Shang Zhen felt that Song Zhewu's words were very reasonable, and he really wanted to see how Song Zhewu organized such an attack. Most of the other people, most of them wanted to see his jokes, and they wanted him to do it for a long time, but they didn't expect him to bring it up himself.
Song Zhewu asked Chu Feng to call Wang Dahu, the commander of the 4th Company, and ordered him to lead the 4th Company and the 3rd District Team to conduct an offensive and defensive drill. Wang Dahu ran to organize the troops, and Gu Xiongyi also returned to the 3rd district team to make arrangements.
After a while, both sides signaled that they were ready, and everyone picked up their binoculars to observe.
On the positions of the 4 company, 3 mortars of 9 platoons and 6 mortars of 82 machine gun platoons were lined up, and with the order to start the shelling, 15 mortars immediately began to conduct simulated fire. Everyone was amazed that one of Song Zhewu's companies had so many mortars.
After the shelling began, the soldiers of the 4th Company began to move rapidly towards the starting point of the attack, and continued to move until they were 80 meters away from the target position, and then lay down and took shelter, waiting for the order to attack. When the mortar position gave the signal to extend the fire, the three platoons jumped to their feet and quickly formed a three-man attack group. These small groups, from a distance, can clearly see the formation of the squad platoon. Three platoons have one in front and 2 in the back, and in the four squads in a platoon, there are 2 in front and 2 in the back. In the group, the soldiers, the group, and the squad alternate cover, interspersed with assaults. During this period, some soldiers may take advantage of the favorable terrain to shoot at the mountain.
The attack speed of the 4th Company was extremely fast, and the 80-meter distance was completed in just over 30 seconds, and before the defenders could enter the position, the platoon in front of the breakthrough had already rushed to the hilltop position, and the referees on the hilltop position immediately raised the signal flag to signal the end of the exercise. Anyone who observes can imagine that there are still 4 light machine guns in that platoon, that is, more than 40 P18 submachine guns, which are enough to wipe out the two platoons that did not enter the position.
Looking at the results of the drill, Shang Zhen couldn't help but gasp, and the others were also stunned, can the battle still be fought like this? That's pretty much what everyone thinks.
An instructor whispered: "It is impossible to attack at such a close distance in actual combat, and in terms of medicine, there is no country whose infantry regulations are so close." Everyone was still shocked by this result, no one spoke up, and the instructor's words clearly reached Song Zhewu's ears.
Song Zhewu said with a smile: "Yes, there are no national infantry regulations that stipulate such a close starting point for attacks, but the distances stipulated in the regulations of various countries are different, which shows that if only one is correct, then the others are wrong, and it can also be considered that these regulations have room for improvement." As for accidental injuries, I have done field tests in Laiyuan, and on hard ground, the shrapnel of 75mm mountain guns is more than 2 meters away from 40 meters, and the shrapnel from 20 meters away from soft ground is 2 meters, and mortars have to expand the distance by 10 meters in the above two terrains because of their small impact. Since the shelling site was considered to be in a mountainous area, the starting point of the attack was about 80 meters, and such a long distance could basically ensure safety.
Seeing that Song Zhewu heard his words, the instructor also raised his voice and continued to retort: "But the accuracy of the shelling will not be so high. The premise of Commander Song's words was that all shells should fall 80 meters away. ”
Song Zhewu nodded: "You are very right, the premise is that it must fall 80 meters away." However, the Security Brigade can hit 80 percent of their starters, which is enough accuracy, and even if there are occasional mistakes, it is worth paying for a small casualty in exchange for a bigger victory. ”
"I don't think it's as good as this," Song Zhewu said to Shang Zhen, "Chairman Shang, let my artillery shoot live ammunition." "Song Zhewu has already made up his mind to completely subdue these future subordinates.
"Okay." Shang Zhen immediately agreed, he was also a little skeptical of Song Zhewu's words, 80% accuracy, without 10 years of experience is almost impossible.
Subsequently, in accordance with the order, the artillery platoon commander quickly issued a firing command after receiving the signal that all the personnel on the hill had been evacuated and could be shelled. With the sound of a dozen mortar chambers coming out almost simultaneously, fifteen clouds of smoke and dust rose from the hill a few seconds later.
"Good!" Shang Zhen was the first to applaud, and these shots were all accurate hits from a distance.
Soon after, the target reporter reported specific data, 13 of the 15 shells fell within two meters of the trench, of which two fell directly in the trench, and the remaining two fell within 4 meters of the trench.
I also want to trouble everyone to give a ticket! Deep Blue is trying to speed up the update, but the dark blue code is very slow, 3000 words, and it can't be done in 5 hours.
