Things turned out to be as I thought, and the arrival of armored and artillery divisions soon kept the base busy again.

Among them, the artillery units are relatively good. Most of the connections between artillery units and infantry are also indirect, that is, through the guò artillery observer or the superior commander to transfer or guide the artillery, ordinary infantry basically only see the artillery firing but do not know what the artillery commander is like.

Because of this, the artillery unit said that it would not be stationed, but in fact it was only the commander of the artillery division who brought a few staff officers to the base to report, and the main force of the artillery division was stationed in Xinxiang, which was more than 20 miles away from the base, to carry out training.

This is also due to the fact that there are too many people at the base, and of course, if necessary, the artillery division will soon send a large number of personnel and even equipment to the base to communicate with the fighters.

The stationing of armored divisions is troublesome.

In fact, our army did not have an armored division in the actual sense at this time, and the armored units of our army in this era were actually attached to the infantry as an auxiliary unit of the infantry, and our army has always been infantry, mainly people. It was only now that in order to be able to simulate the Blue Army, an armored division was temporarily cobbled together according to the equipment and configuration of the Soviet armored division.

That is, the establishment of three armored regiments, one armored infantry regiment, one artillery regiment and one air defense regiment.

Of course, I think that this kind of establishment and training is not just for the needs of exercises, but the superiors originally wanted to form armored divisions or mechanized units, so the first thing that came to mind was to imitate the establishment of the Soviet army.

This may make people a little puzzled, we are enemies of the Soviet devils now, and we are friends with the Yankees, aren't we? How to form an armored division still has to be based on the establishment of Soviet devils.

Actually, there is nothing surprising about this, and the formation of troops does not mean that whoever has a good relationship with them will be based on whom's establishment. It should be the same country in which weapons and equipment are similar. Then according to the big one, according to such equipment, it will be inseparable. After all, people have been using this kind of firepower for a long time, and it has been tested in actual combat.

Therefore, we don't need to think much about it, our army's weapons and equipment, whether it is artillery, tanks, or even rifles and machine guns, are all imitations of the Soviet Union.

However, putting these tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and infantry together does not mean that it is an armored division. Later I learned that they weren't just a patchwork together, in fact, the division had been training for a month before it was stationed at the base, but this training camp was barely enough to keep them from being too chaotic when marching.

However, this does not seem surprising, because the armored regiments, armored infantry regiments, etc., are not pure tank units or armored infantry units. For example, an armored regiment includes three tank battalions, an armored infantry battalion, etc. The armored infantry regiment includes three armored infantry battalions, a tank battalion, etc.

That is to say, in fact, each regiment is mixed with various arms, but the proportions are different, to put it bluntly, just like our synthetic battalion, there are infantry, tanks, and artillery.

However, after a long period of combat and training, our synthetic battalion finally became as free as it is now, and how could our army's armored units and tank units have experienced such a "chaotic" establishment, and for a while they have become "generals who do not know soldiers, and soldiers who do not know generals."

In addition, tanks and armored vehicles are easy to fall behind or strayed into friendly forces during the march...... Sensitivity to the outside world is poor, and tanks are basically the same, and if you don't look at the number, no one knows if it's your own troops. So after arriving at the base, there are still many cadres looking for their tanks everywhere, and of course, there are also many tanks who can't find the troops they should be in.

This made me and Commander Xu grow up one or two years old, you must know that the training of our airborne troops was very intense, and there were still many training subjects that had not been completed. This also includes the helicopter airborne training that our synthetic battalion intends to conduct. How do you know that now such a chaotic armored division has come out...... Moreover, in this way, it is not only the coordination of the various arms within the armored division that needs to be trained, but also the coordination between the airborne troops, infantry, artillery, and even the air force and the armored division. For example, the Y-5 is used as a reconnaissance plane to carry out reconnaissance for armored units along the way, or helicopters and fighter planes are used to clear obstacles for armored troops.

But it seems that there is no way to do it, if you want to play the Blue Army, what would it be like without an armored division.

So we had to take this hot potato and add armored troops and artillery units to the training plan.

But fortunately, we can learn from the previous training experience of our synthesis camp, and if you encounter any difficulties or controversies during training, you only need to follow the training results of our synthesis camp. Therefore, although the training was intense, it was carried out in an orderly manner, and after a few months, these arms were gradually integrated into one to form combat effectiveness.

When I came back from the training ground that day, I was called to the military headquarters by Commander Xu.

"That's right!" Commander Xu frowned and said, "The exercise will start soon, but the arrangements for your synthetic battalion are ......."

"What is it?" Seeing Commander Xu like this, I knew that this arrangement didn't seem to be a good thing.

Sure enough, when Commander Xu handed Wen Jiàn in front of me, it made me frown.

It is written on the text that the tasks of our composite battalion are to be carried out in four subjects: tank troops, airborne troops, offensive positions, and campaign assault.

There is nothing wrong with this, we are playing the role of the Soviet army, and the modern troops of the Soviet army are nothing more than tank troops, airborne troops and the like, but the problem is that the time limit for the offensive of these subjects is limited to two and a half hours, and it is specific to what troops to dispatch at what time, and which route to take at which point in time......

"This ...... Or is it a drill? I said.

"There's more!" Commander Xu asked me to continue looking.

I went on to read a little further, and it turned out that all the equipment used was restricted, such as the wedges attached to the cannons and the special firing treatment of the tanks...... It's still a war!

I couldn't help but look at Commander Xu suspiciously.

"Actually, your task is more like acting!" Commander Xu nodded: "In order to let the chief visit the observation point and make a movie with the media, the reason why the artillery and tanks are fired at is to not travel cuò to prevent the shells from blowing up to the observation point!" ”

"Oh!" When I heard this, I understood, that is, the task assigned to our synthesis camp, in fact, it was more about acting.

"On the other hand......," Commander Xu continued, "The superiors also thought that this exercise should have some practical significance, that is, they wanted to really achieve the training of troops and simulate the combat situation of the Soviet offensive in case of emergency, so they opened up another exercise site for actual combat exercises without publicly, and this venue was outside the observation range of the observation point." ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

In fact, I can understand this approach of the superiors, on the one hand, the exercise costs money, and it is also millions at will, such as the Hongjian 73 anti-tank missile used by our synthetic battalion, this thing does not look backward, but the cost is 30,000 yuan, so that the shooters equipped with this missile often joke: "What is 10,000 yuan of households, Lao Tzu's finger is 30,000 yuan!" ”

These funds are not a lot for this era, so it is not cost-effective to treat this military exercise purely as an act.

On the other hand, propaganda about this exercise is also necessary.

Just like the strategic goal of our army to fight Fakarshan before...... The common people of this era generally believed that the army was "unscientific" in warfare, "only brute force" and so on.

Of course, this image has changed since the battle of Fakasan, but that is only the beginning, and after that, more and a series of actions will be needed to consolidate, so it is necessary to open a joint combat exercise of all arms to the public, and even make a movie. The purpose is to tell the people that our army is no longer the kind of brutal force it used to be, and that we are already on the road to modernization.

Therefore, this scene is actually performed for the people, and it is also played for the soldiers of the whole country, telling them that the war should be fought like this...... It's a bit fake, but it makes a lot of sense.

Besides, during this live-fire exercise, bullets and shells do not blink, if the chiefs, cadres, and photographers are allowed to observe or shoot at close range...... Who can guarantee that not a single stray bullet or shrapnel will fly into the observation point, and who can guarantee that these bullets or shrapnel will not cause casualties?

For this reason, it is still very necessary to divide the two exercise grounds into two exercise grounds, one for real and one for fake fighting.

It's just that although our synthetic battalion is an elite unit, it doesn't seem to be suitable for fake fighting......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help frowning, and said, "Commander, our synthetic battalion is a soldier who is used to fighting on the battlefield, and we often don't know the severity of our attack. Besides, they don't even find it boring to practice with live ammunition, and now they still let them act...... I'm afraid that I can't keep my spirits even harder! ”

This is not my personal statement, but the actual situation of the troops!

"So!" I concluded: "I don't think it's appropriate for us to carry out this mission!" The superiors may have let us carry out such an important task because we were familiar with the coordinated operations of all arms, but in fact, this has nothing to do with the coordinated operations of all arms! ”

As I spoke, I raised the detailed combat steps on the text: "What is needed for this is a unit that strictly implements orders and does not go on a business trip!" ”

"If only you would say that!" Commander Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, I also mean this, your synthetic battalion is the main force of our Blue Army, and as the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army, I ...... I don't want to lose my right hand like this. I'm about to ask my superiors for instructions to let another unit perform this mission in your place, but I'm afraid you won't agree!" ”

"How could I not say yes?" I couldn't help but feel a little weird.

"Because it's going to be a movie!" Commander Xu explained: "And it is also a good opportunity to watch from the observation point! ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, our synthetic camp was already a little tired of this kind of thing. (To be continued......)
