Chapter 80: Examples of War

Life at the step school was on track from the second day.

At first, it was a good step...... Originally, I thought that there was no need to learn this thing in the military academy, after all, these soldiers in our army...... They are not recruits, they have been soldiers for several years before they go to the battlefield, and they have also practiced walking the right steps, but later they all went to get hoes and farm. And I also think...... We are all soldiers who have fought on the battlefield, and then we will enter this military academy to learn to walk the right way...... Isn't that a bit awkward.

But I didn't expect this cohort training to have no intention of reducing at all...... The reason why I came to this conclusion is because the students in the same grade as us have been here for more than a month, and they are still playing the same step as us.

This queue training seems simple, but it is not, and the correct password is out...... All the soldiers stood in the sun like pillars, unable to move, and the sweat flowed all over their bodies, and the armed belts would be wet. At this time, Instructor Zhang will walk through the team, scolding and correcting everyone's movements...... Maybe it's because he has been bumped into by the soldiers before, or because he knows the history of our unit, Instructor Zhang is also very careful not to anger the soldiers, so the words of scolding are much more polite, at most a few words: "How do you stand!" "Hands straight! ”……

Among them, if you really say that you have never practiced queue...... That's mine, so I'm always having problems with this and that. However, I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, Instructor Zhang is quite polite to me, and every time he corrects him carefully, he doesn't dare to speak loudly like scolding other soldiers. Once, maybe I was scolding, but halfway through the scolding, I realized that the object was me...... So the second half of the sentence immediately became quieter.

All right! Instructor Zhang also knows how to behave, otherwise he would kick and scold me. On the one hand, I did not dare to resist in order to set an example for the soldiers. On the other hand, it will gradually lose the prestige it has established on the battlefield in front of the soldiers. This may be the benefit of an agreement between us. Or maybe Instructor Zhang knew that if he was not polite to me, then my soldiers would not be polite to him......

It's quite comfortable when I practice this, after all, we have all lurked in the grass and mud, and now basking in the sun like this can only be said to be pediatric. The most painful thing is to pull out the right step, and with the command of "decompose action, 1", the difficult leg lifting project begins, lifting one leg. It felt like something was weighing, and then the legs began to shake, from the tips of the toes to the whole leg, and then they began to stagger, and then they began to stagger...... When I heard the instructor shouting "2", I had the feeling of being in a long drought and having a nectar.

According to the words of the instructor...... The purpose of this training is to correct the posture of the soldiers, maintain a strict military appearance, and develop the habit of uniformity, orders and prohibitions, and strict observance of discipline...... But as far as I'm concerned, there's also an element of refining the endurance of the warriors, for example, when we go to the battlefield again one day, the warriors will have a lot less small movements.

Originally, this kind of cohort training was to be practiced for a month, but Principal Li walked up to Instructor Zhang and said something secretly. Our cohort training ended after just over a week, and after that, the cohort training was only practiced occasionally during recess.

Then there's the one-man strategy...... The first book to be sent out ...... "Fundamentals of Individual Tactics".

I looked at the table of contents. There are moving skills, field individual training, and the like...... This is exactly what we need, and we can't help but be overjoyed.

But when I opened the book, I saw ...... I couldn't help but be stunned, and it was full of words: "Imperialism and all reactionaries are paper tigers" and "grasp the revolution, promote production, work, and war preparedness...... There is some substance in this, but it seems to be even less than these slogans.

Then a young instructor walked into the classroom, wearing a military uniform, but he didn't look like he had been a soldier, because he looked skinny and fell down when the wind blew. I later learned that he really hadn't been a soldier...... He was originally a junior high school teacher, surnamed Chen, and there were not many people who could teach and write in this era, so he was transferred to the military academy as a teacher.

This may seem strange...... There aren't many people who can write in this step school, so what were the people in the step school doing before...... Let's talk about this, the workers, peasants and soldiers who are recommended by themselves do not necessarily write, and they do not have to study when they go to a foot school.

A junior high school teacher comes for a tactics lesson? That's kind of.

But it seems to be working...... Because Teacher Chen immediately read it: "Marxists think...... The production activities of human society are developing step by step from the lower level to the higher level, so ......"

Finally, I talked about a war example, but I made a joke, and here's how it happened......

When the instructor talked about the heroic battle of the People's Liberation Army, he gave an example: a certain combat hero carried a rocket launcher to the Vietnamese army's bunker 5 meters away and launched it, destroying the enemy's bunker in one fell swoop......

As soon as they heard this, the warriors were dumbfounded...... 5 meters?

"Any questions?" The instructor asked.

"Report to the instructor!" Scar replied: "Launched at a distance of 5 meters, the safety of the rocket has not been lifted, and the rocket will not explode at this distance......"

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but touch my head with shame, I didn't know this, Zhang Fan next to me quickly wrote down this experience, obviously she just knew.

"This ......" The instructor couldn't help but be stunned, but he was worthy of being an instructor who had been in this step school for several years, and replied with a shake of his head, "The kinetic energy of the rocket can also kill and injure the enemy, judging from the initial velocity of the bazooka, it can completely penetrate the general pillbox, and the fragments generated after penetration can also kill and injure the enemy!" ”

Judging by the words answered by the instructor, he still has some military knowledge, but it is clear that his military knowledge is mostly based on paper.

"Report to the instructor!" Soon a soldier raised his hand and asked: "The enemy pillboxes we saw on the front line generally have sandbags, covered soil, and even reinforced concrete, can rockets penetrate them?" Is the rocket hard enough not to shatter? ”

"Report to the instructor!" Another fighter asked: "The radius of destruction of an anti-personnel grenade is 15 meters, and it is fired at 5 meters...... What should I do to protect myself? ”

"5 meters still need to launch a bazooka?" Liang Lianbing objected loudly: "If you hit a bazooka at this distance, you will either be killed by the enemy or you will blow yourself up, you can throw a grenade at the shooting hole so close, why do you take off your pants and put ......?"

I glared at Liang Lianbing fiercely, and Liang Lianbing hurriedly shrank his head and swallowed the rest of the words.

A few days ago, I gave an order to my soldiers: respect the instructors and instructors, and follow the rules, otherwise don't blame me for kicking them out of the army.

It didn't work for my superiors, but it worked for me.

If the superiors give this order, these soldiers will pout: "Kick out, kick out, who wants to fight with their heads up!" Kick it out just ......"

But this order I gave ...... The fighters feel a little different, it's like being ostracized by our group and vetoed by others, so it's a matter of honor.

It may sound strange, but the human psyche is sometimes so subtle.

That's why it's ...... That's why the current classroom can stay like this, otherwise...... This instructor, who had no connection between theory and practice, had long since been knocked out of power by the fighters.

But despite this, the instructor sweated on his head and stammered, "That's the question...... Discuss it later, and discuss it later......"

Actually, I know where the problem is, and what he wants to express in this example is actually the brave and tenacious fighting spirit of our army, and what he is talking about is that our army dares to resist and shoot, and it is the spirit of "seeing red with bayonets" in the new era......

The idea of the people of this era is that the closer the distance, the more heroic it is, and the more it embodies the spirit of a soldier who is not afraid of death...... Hence the idea of launching a bazooka at a distance of 5 meters.

And this tactic or something that embodies this spirit is not only this example, I flipped through the textbook in my hand...... I found similar examples everywhere, such as sacrificing one's life to blow up tanks, desperately charging at enemy fire points, and so on. There are even points and steps to take the explosives bag to blow up the tank...... That's not to say that the fighters in these cases aren't heroic enough, but it's like what I said before...... These tactics are clearly no longer suitable for modern warfare.

After thinking about it, I quickly understood that these tactics may have come from the era of our army's resistance to US aggression and aid Korea...... You must know that at that time, our army's equipment was too poor, and there was a serious shortage of anti-tank or weapons used to destroy the enemy's pillbox fortifications, which made our army have to rush up with explosives bags or blasting canisters to blow up the target...... The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea defeated the United Nations forces with weak equipment.

To put it simply...... It was a helpless way of playing when the equipment was insufficient, and the fact that individual weapons were not very developed at that time also made these tactics possible.

But it's different now, times have changed...... With the large-scale transformation of individual equipment from semi-automatic to automatic, this tactic has become very dangerous and even completely unfeasible, and at the same time, the progress of our army's equipment has also become unnecessary.

Of course, in a particular environment, such as when the target is in a dead angle of the gun and you have to shoot at close range or hold an explosive pack, this is not the case, but in most cases...... Weishenme, which can be solved with artillery, is it necessary to let people get on?

I couldn't help frowning when I thought of this...... Didn't I tell Commander Zhang everything? It is very likely that what is taught in the step school is no longer suitable for the current war, and now it seems that this is indeed the case...... It is no wonder that there are still so many commanders on the battlefield who rush against the enemy's bullets with their troops.

Commander Zhang, this is still going to let us go to this step school to learn...... What is it for? (To be continued......)
