"Therefore......" I continued: "Under the guidance of this tactical theory, our battalion and company tactics and squad tactics should pay more attention to the coordination and cooperation of all arms of the armed forces, and individual tactics should pay more attention to groups, more attention to the exchange of knowledge, and more attention to the preservation of life......, and we should not overemphasize the spirit of 'not being afraid of sacrifice and forging ahead bravely.'"

"How does this work?" Chen Jiahao didn't think about it and refuted: "Soldiers don't pay attention to bravery...... What kind of war is there then! ”

"It's not that you don't pay attention to bravery!" I said: "Of course, you must be brave when you are a soldier in battle, but being brave does not mean that you have to rush against the enemy's bullets, Chairman Mao also has a saying, called 'Only by preserving yourself can you destroy the enemy more haode', and the essence of guerrilla warfare is also to preserve life and fight against the enemy." ”

In fact, I am treating others in the same way as others, in this era...... If you blindly say that you don't want any spirit, you will soon be attacked by the crowd.

But if I say...... Chairman Mao also has a saying called something, okay...... Who would dare to say that I am not right!

This is also the reason why I will discuss this "fighting spirit" from the perspective of coordination, which is not suitable for modern warfare, if I make a direct criticism of this spirit...... I think I'll soon be labelled as right-leaning capitulationist.

"That's it!" Zhang Fan interjected next to him: "Fighting a war is a science, and ordinary people don't understand it......"

Zhang Fan's words can make Chen Jiahao angry, Zhang Fan's words are obviously to beat him into an "ordinary person" who doesn't know how to fight, and not long ago, Chen Jiahao was still teaching me a lesson with a tactical knowledge.

"Then ......" Commander Zhang nodded thoughtfully: "What do you think...... How can this tactic be implemented? ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, these days I just look at the tactical theory and think this is not right, that is not right. Then he compared the modern multi-arms cooperative operation to answer Commander Zhang's question...... In fact, the modern era is not just a multi-arm coordinated operation of the army. Instead, they have all reached the point where the navy, land, and air forces are one. Of course. The air force and navy have not joined the Vietnamese battlefield for the time being, or only a small amount, and we have not even done a good job in coordinating the various arms of the army, and it is meaningless to think about the coordination of the navy, land, and air, so what we should do now is to take the first step.

But what about this first step?

After thinking about it, I replied: "First of all, the accountability system of the commanders should be sound and perfect, and the military personnel regard obedience to orders as their duty; if the commanders or the higher-level cadres do not agree with this kind of tactical thinking, do not cooperate, or do not have the relevant theoretical knowledge, then no matter how much the grassroots cadres toss, it will be in vain. ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded.

"Secondly!" I went on to say, "We can start with small units and try it out...... For example, two infantry companies, a tank company, a mortar company, an artillery company, and an engineer company are mixed together to form a composite battalion. In the course of training and exercises, the various arms of the armed forces will continue to run in and out of each other, and after discovering the problems, they will find ways to solve them, and after a long period of time, they will sum up all kinds of experience, and after the composite battalion is relatively mature and has formed combat effectiveness, or after the combat effectiveness has been recognized and determined that this tactic is feasible, this tactic will be extended to divisions and regiments and even to the entire unit......

In fact, this synthetic battalion is not my idea, and our army does have such a thing as a synthetic battalion in modern times, and its purpose is to understand the coordination of concessions and infantry artillery at the battalion level. It's just that it was only proposed in 2009...... It's been 30 years now.

However, I also know one thing, although the synthetic battalion I am talking about now is very similar to modern synthetic battalions in terms of organization and other aspects. But in fact, there is an essential difference.

The composite battalion I am talking about is only a preliminary trial of the coordinated operation of various arms of the army.

Although as a modern person, I know that the military will develop in this direction in the future, but Commander Zhang and millions of other people in this era may not think so.

Moreover, this is a big problem, a big issue that has a bearing on the direction of the training of the entire army, and it can be said that the slightest difference can be a thousand miles wrong...... It is impossible for me to comprehensively promote such a problem by talking about it or writing a theory on paper and making arguments, and it is necessary to have a real army and convincing combat effectiveness to be convincing.

So even if a synthetic battalion is formed now, it is only a small step in terms of coordination, and it can even be said that it is a shiyan who does not know whether it will succeed or not. And what about modern synthetic battalions? However, on the basis of the coordination of various arms of the armed forces, in order to achieve another level of closer coordination, the various arms of the armed forces were mixed together.

"Weishenme still needs an engineer unit?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask when he heard my words: "Didn't you say that the infantry and the cannon were coordinated?" ”

Commander Zhang nodded at me and explained to me: "In actual combat, the troops still need to clear mines and build bridges to open up roads, especially tank troops...... In an environment like Vietnam, without the cooperation of the engineering troops, it would be impossible to move an inch! ”

All right...... As someone who fought on the front lines in Vietnam, it is not surprising that I would know this, but Commander Chang knows this too...... This leads me to believe that he has a considerable degree of understanding of the overall situation of the battlefield.

But it's normal to think about it...... If Commander Zhang is as confused and ignorant of the situation as other commanders, then how can he arrange for us to advance to the school in order to reform the infantry school and reform the tactics? And everything now...... It seems that I am performing, but in fact, it is all under the leadership of Commander Zhang, so it is actually Commander Zhang who really wants to reform, not me...... I'm just a guy he's found with combat experience.

I found out later...... Commander Zhang chose me not only because of my combat experience, but also because he noticed the eclectic tactics I used in battle, such as the special operation to lead troops into the bomb depot of the underground Great Wall in Lao Cai, and the anti-slope tactics...... Just like Zhang Fan said...... It feels like I'm a little bit different from people of this era.

As for how Commander Zhang noticed me...... In fact, it was very simple, I saved his daughter, that is, Zhang Fan, so he paid attention to the two battles I fought to save Zhang Fan...... This attention found that this soldier is not simple, although it is only a small platoon commander, but he can fight against the well-trained Vietnamese army agent platoon of the Vietnamese army with one person, and he can also lead a few female soldiers to repel and block the attack of a company of the Vietnamese army!

So it was natural to pay attention to the other battles I fought...... The more this concern grew, the more strange it became, and that was why the Second Company was transferred to Beijing to make a report...... From this point of view, Commander Zhang transferred our second company to Beijing, firstly, it was indeed an official need, and secondly, Zhang Fan made a request next to him...... Then why not be a favor to coax your daughter.

This commander Zhang is killing two birds with one stone, but I pity me, the second company commander, has always been a chess piece and only now found out. I should have realized that something was wrong, how could there be a reason to transfer the second company instead of Luo Xianwen, the commander of the original second company, this spearhead is clearly pointed at me.

Merely...... I'm willing to do this chess piece.

"Any other ideas?" Commander Zhang then asked, the expression on his face was so deep that I couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed with my theory.

"This ......," I hesitated, then continued, "something else...... It's a matter of weaponry! ”

"What's wrong with the armament?" Commander Zhang's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he didn't expect me to have ideas in this regard.

At this time, Chen Jiahao, who had been silent, also cast a surprised look at me, and then remembered the pattern of the weapon on Commander Zhang's desk when I came in...... So I'm pretty sure they're actually aware of the inadequacy of our army's equipment.

"First of all, there are flaws in individual equipment!" I said: "The 56 half-range and accuracy are good, but it only has a capacity of ten rounds, and the firepower is too different from that of the Vietnamese army, and although the firepower of the Type 56 submachine gun is comparable to that of the Vietnamese AK47, the accuracy is too poor and the range is too close." So I think we urgently need a weapon that can combine the strengths of 56 and a half and 56 punches, that is, have both 56 and a half range and 56 punch firepower......"

I'm talking about the Type 81 assault rifle, this thing is because after a battle with the Vietnamese devils in 79, the troops found that the 56 and a half and 56 Chong could not adapt to the Vietnamese battlefield, so they put forward a request in 79, finalized in 81, and mass-produced in 83.

Maybe that's what Commander Zhang and the others were talking about just now...... They thought it was a secret, but they didn't know that as a modern person, I knew a lot more about it than they did.

Sure enough, I saw Commander Zhang change color slightly, and then asked quietly: "What else?" ”

"Recoilless guns are not suitable for the battlefield either!" I said: "Recoilless guns can only hit 300 meters when firing armor-piercing shells, and bazookas can also hit 300 meters, plus bazookas are lighter and easier to use than recoilless guns, and have fewer requirements on the battlefield, so soldiers would rather carry bazookas than recoilless guns." On the other hand, our army lacks long-range anti-tank weapons...... The more devil tanks are farther away from us, we can't do anything about them! If you want to form a composite battalion, there will often be infantry and tank coordination to fight with the enemy's tanks, then individual long-range anti-tank weapons are very necessary, such as the American anti-tank missiles we used on the 581 heights are very haode individual anti-tank weapons. It is best to extend the range of recoilless gun armor-piercing shells to form an anti-tank firepower system with bazooka as a short-range, recoilless gun as a medium-range, and anti-tank missiles as a long-range ......"

Listening to my words, Commander Zhang couldn't help but look at me in surprise, while Chen Jiahao was so surprised that his jaw was about to fall...... Except that the American anti-tank missile was supposed to be a Type 73 anti-tank missile.

I was proud in my heart...... Can you not hit? These are just some of the histories I know. (To be continued......)
