Chapter 88: Battalion Commander
"This is the Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile!" Commander Zhang took out a piece of paper from the document on the table and handed it to me: "Look at the data...... Can it meet your requirements! ”
What I care about most is range and speed, and if you look at it, the minimum range is 500 and the maximum range is 3000...... Of course, there will be no problem with this range, in fact, the range of about a thousand meters in that ghost place in Vietnam is about the same, and if it is farther away, it is either a mountain or a jungle, even if there is no mountain and no jungle, even if you are expected to see things in the telescope scope, so the extra range is a waste.
Then there's the armor-piercing power...... 150 MM, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY INSUFFICIENT TO DEAL WITH THE T62, HAS A FRONTAL TURRET ARMOR THICKNESS OF ABOUT 200MM, AND THE SIDE ARMOR IS ALSO 170 MM, THAT IS, IT CAN ONLY HIT THE BASE.
Let's look at the guidance method...... I can't help but faint, manually guided!
Commander Zhang seemed to see through my thoughts, and explained on the side: "This missile was a project decided by our army in 73, but it was ...... for various reasons."
Speaking of this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but pause, so I knew that this must be related to that period again.
Commander Zhang took a sip of tea and said: "This missile was not finalized and mass-produced until the beginning of this year, and some troops have been equipped in the counterattack war, but it is only less equipped because of the complicated operation......
I can understand this, the hand controls the guide, and if you look at the picture, you can know that the aiming tracking device and the launch department need at least two people to operate, which is not something that ordinary people can play.
Things in the world tend to be easier to operate the more advanced they are, just like the electronic devices we use in our lives...... Old-fashioned cameras still have to manually load film, take the film and then adjust the focus or something, and if the average person goes to play, one accidentally will expose the film. This thing developed to zuihou is a digital camera. Look at the LCD screen and press the shutter.
The same is true of weapons, of course. If you produce anything, you have to train for two or three months or more to fight, okay...... Once these trained talents are sacrificed, even if they have piles of weapons, they are useless...... No one will use it.
Just like the Dragon anti-tank missile that we captured on the 581 heights, it only takes a few moments for someone with some artillery knowledge like Marx to toss, and one person can complete the operation, but this Red Arrow 73......
"Of course!" Commander Zhang continued: "There is still a gap between this and the American anti-tank missiles captured by your company on the 581 heights, the Red Arrow 73 is the first generation, and the Dragon captured by you is the second generation...... Well, I almost forgot. The batch of weapons and equipment you captured really came in handy, our military industry is trying to develop the Red Arrow missile to the second generation, but it is difficult to have a small infrared guided jishu, I didn't expect you to send a batch immediately! It's another great achievement......"
Zhang Fan was a little distracted when he heard this, and then Commander Zhang's words said: "Then Weishenme will also withdraw the collective first-class merit of the second company!" ”
"Hmm! You girl ......" Commander Zhang couldn't help but hahadaxiao, but he didn't answer.
Actually, I know about things like weapons and equipment...... The less people know, the better, especially the weapons to be developed in the future, otherwise the enemy will consciously and purposefully develop countermeasure equipment. It's better to be like the Yankees, who used stealth planes in a fight...... Quan Shijie was taken aback: "It turns out that there is still this thing in the world." At this time, it is too late to come up with new equipment to counteract, and you can only passively be beaten or chased in the back.
So there's no question that things like this should be low-key. Therefore, it is only natural that the collective first-class merit of these two companies should be withdrawn.
"It's still a bit lacking," I said......, "but it's better than nothing, and it's not much of a problem to deal with a fixed target......
"Hmm!" As soon as I said this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but be stunned again: "You just look at the data and know that it is suitable for dealing with fixed targets?" ”
"I'm because I've used the Dragon missile!" I explained: "Just like the commander said, the Dragon is the second generation, our army is the first generation, and it is difficult for us to use the Yankees' second-generation missiles to hit moving targets, let alone our army's first-generation missiles......"
"That's right!" Commander Zhang nodded and said with appreciation: "It is worthy of coming down from the battlefield, and he has unique views on the advantages and disadvantages of our army's weapons and equipment and tactics...... So be it, as you just said...... I'll set you up a synthetic battalion, and you will be the battalion commander, what do you think? ”
"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, but Zhang Fan's face was full of joy, if it weren't for her father in front of me, I was afraid that she would have to "celebrate" with me on the spot.
Chen Jiahao on the other side, I don't know if it's because of Zhang Fan's performance or because Commander Zhang put the burden on my shoulders, maybe it's both, and the expression on his face at this time is like he wants to kill me.
"Commander!" I hesitated and said, "This ...... I'm just afraid that it's not good, I haven't been a company commander for a long time, and I have no command experience at all, this synthetic battalion ......"
I'm really not modest, you must know that this synthetic battalion is not as simple as a battalion, first of all, there are two battalions in this small number, and more importantly, there are battalions in all arms...... It's easy to say if it's a single unit, but this has tanks, artillery, and infantry...... To command such a unit, I really don't know the bottom of my heart.
"Huh!" Commander Zhang waved his hand and interrupted me: "What I want is no command experience, if others have command experience, their heads are full of the old tactics, and engaging in zuihou is not the old way of charging into battle?" Besides, this idea is yours, and the tactical idea is also put forward by you, so who will do it if you don't do it? ”
I have to admit that what Commander Zhang said is indeed reasonable, if you want to reform, you must have the courage to use new people, otherwise it will be a change of soup and not a change of medicine. But...... It also seems a little too fast for me.
"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Seeing that my face was embarrassed, Commander Zhang comforted: "I didn't let you make a military order, we are just trying it, anyway, there is no need for so many soldiers on the front line now, and it is not a big deal to draw a few troops to practice!" And this synthetic battalion does not belong to any unit, so it is treated as a ...... The training troops of the infantry school, no one will hold you accountable and no one will put pressure on you...... What is there to excuse! ”
was said by Commander Zhang...... I think it's true, no one has done this thing, no one has done it, no one compares, no one compares, no one compares me, and outsiders don't know if I'm doing a good job, so what's there to be afraid of!
Thinking of this, I didn't refuse, nodded and agreed.
Later, I realized that things were by no means as simple as I thought and not as simple as Commander Zhang said, Commander Zhang was playing me around......
"That's right!" Commander Zhang said with a smile: "Young people have to dare to do it, this preparation...... A tank company, an artillery company...... An artillery company has only ten guns, will it be too little? An artillery battalion now! ”
"What? There are more and more of them...... "I thought this in my heart, and later I learned that the more artillery I trained, the better, and I just knew that I would have to command such a large army in the future.
In hindsight, I think it's funny, I'm not afraid of life and death on the battlefield, and I'm afraid of commanding an out-of-establishment unit in this military academy......
"Congratulations!" When we walked out of the room, Zhang Fan couldn't wait to say to me: "I will become the battalion commander so soon." ”
"It's just a battalion commander in a foot school!" I said, "And it's also training, so I can't take it seriously!" ”
"It's so stupid......" Zhang Fan said with a smile: "If you do haode, then you will be removed as the battalion commander?" ”
Hearing Zhang Fan say this, I also think it's true, and I, the battalion commander, still have a tank company and an artillery battalion, and my combat effectiveness is only better than that of a regiment, of course, it depends on whether I have a way to integrate them together.
However, Zhang Fan's expression soon darkened as if he remembered something.
"What's wrong?" I sensed the change in Zhang Fan, so I asked.
"Nothing!" Zhang Fan frowned: "I was happy for you just now, but I didn't expect it...... If you train well, this unit will definitely go to the battlefield to be tested in actual combat......"
"Hmm!" Only then did I understand that Zhang Fan did not want me to go to the battlefield again.
Meantime...... Zhang Fan is also right, if we can really make a name for ourselves, and even use our battalion as a model and example for the whole army, then it will definitely be impossible if we don't go to the battlefield to fight a dozen.
Only then did I realize that I seemed to have fallen for Commander Zhang...... How can it be as easy as he said, what does it mean to have no responsibility and no pressure, and it will be the biggest responsibility and the greatest pressure to go to the battlefield in the future!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel angry...... I'm a modern person, why can't I always play Commander Zhang? How can I say that I have more decades of historical knowledge and have seen more of the world...... But then again, people have seen a lot more of the world on the battlefield and in relationships than I do, which may be the reason why I've always been at a disadvantage!
Thinking about something, I unconsciously came to the back compartment of the car, and was about to climb up but was pulled by Zhang Fan.
"Let's ......" Zhang Fan replied with a red face, "Let's sit in the front of the car......"
"Let's sit in the back of the car!" I say.
"Get in the front of the car!" Zhang Fan insisted.
"Plenty of space in the back of the car!"
"The view from the front of the car is good!"
"It's too crowded to sit in front of the car!"
"It's too dark to sit in the back of the car!"
"Get in the front of the car!" I say.
Zhang Fan objected without thinking about it: "Take the back of the car!" ”
"Okay, no problem!" I immediately replied, "Listen to you, just sit in the back of the car!" ”
Without saying a word, he hugged Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan didn't react for a long time with a confused face, and it took a while to understand that he had fallen for me, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. (To be continued......)
