"What? Going to drill in a month? And it's still with the 391 regiment?! ”

When I returned to the battalion headquarters, I immediately talked about the decision of the meeting, and it was like dropping a bomb.

"That's right!" I said: "We are playing the Blue Army in this exercise, and it must be ...... with Soviet tactics."

As soon as I said this, the cadres were silent, and only the instructor cheered up, "This is good...... Let's simulate the Soviet devils, that is, use us as a litmus test to see how many pounds and taels our troops have, and what the situation will be like if we really fight with the Soviet devils. If you want me to say...... This exercise is very meaningful! ”

The battalion headquarters was silent for a while, and after a long while, Zhao Jingping raised his head sullenly and said, "Battalion commander...... I know this 391 regiment, it is a unit that is good at fighting hard battles and hard battles, because they are heroic regiments, so even in the era of general lack of training in our army, their training has not been left behind...... This can be seen in their table of self-defense counterattacks! But what about us......"

Saying that, Zhao Jingping picked up the training plan on the table and shook it in his hand: "Our training has just begun, and there are so many training tasks waiting for us to complete, such a state...... How do you go to fight with the 391 regiment?! ”

"Yes, battalion commander!" Ding Chengdong said, "I'll be fair...... Our synthetic battalion has not been afraid of anyone until now! If this were to be done with ordinary tactics...... We don't care about the 391st regiment......"

I agree with Ding Chengdong's words, and I believe that not only me, but also the vast majority of cadres think so in their hearts...... The reason is that although our synthetic battalion is not up to the level of special forces, the members of the unit are infantry, artillery, and tank soldiers...... All of them are the elite selected from various units, and this is especially the most elite infantry, not only with quasi-special forces such as the special agent company. There are also sniper units like sniper companies...... In addition, in peacetime training, great attention is paid to the coordination of infantry, tank, and artillery arms, so the general troops really don't pay attention to it, even the 391st regiment.

But here's the problem......

Ding Chengdong continued: "But now we have to use the tactics of the Soviet devils to fight ...... If you want me to say it! There is no such thing as a death-defying tactic on this battlefield...... Isn't this just for us to dance in shackles? ”

"What a dance in shackles!" King Chuang said, "This is to tie our hands and feet to let us go to the battlefield...... We have only just started to practice the tactics of the Soviet army for more than two months...... What is taboo on the battlefield is to use this kind of half-baked tactics, but the superiors just ask for it...... Isn't that just for us to look good? ”

"That's it!"

Other cadres also talked nonsense:

"Just don't act, let us go up and show our faces!"

"It's not a good face to be present...... Gotta let the Red Army have a good fight! ”

"We are the Blues, and losing is the meaning of the superiors!"

……

"Stop, stop...... What do you all say? The instructor straightened his face and criticized: "I said comrades...... This kind of negative, suspicious thinking and attitude is not to be ...... The superiors let us only use the tactics of the Soviet devils, not because they favored the Red Army and wanted the Red Army to win dignity, but to see how good the tactics of the Soviet Army were, and to see if our troops could confront the Soviet Army head-on...... Don't have that negative thought anymore. As a cadre...... You should consider the problem from the standpoint of your superiors, otherwise...... This drill hasn't started yet, and the morale of our synthetic battalion has been ruined by you! ”

"The instructor is right!" I nodded and said, "That's exactly what the superiors do, and nothing else...... I know that very well! The problem is just ...... Our tactics are not yet mature. But I don't think it's a big deal...... Because we still have a month to spare, let's seize the time to practice this month......"

As I spoke, I turned to Zhao Jingping. He asked, "How's the training for the abseiling course going?" ”

"Very smooth!" Zhao Jingping nodded and replied: "The comrades' psychological qualities are very good, and their learning ability is also strong...... In addition, I have previous experience in rock climbing and rappelling. So now not only familiar with day and night rappelling on various terrains. I also learned how to use a rope ladder for emergency evacuation! The time is also controlled by more than three minutes at the beginning in about two minutes! ”

"Good!" I nodded.

That's how it goes...... If you are watching the training of the troops step by step, then it feels like everything is in order, nothing strange! But now...... I had only been away for three or four days, and suddenly I realized that the soldiers were not only familiar with the rappelling, but also played with the ladder rope for emergency evacuation...... So there is a feeling of "Shibei should be impressed for three days"!

"We've got to make a new plan for this month's training!" I said, "And we have to speed up the training!" ”

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping asked, "Look...... Shall we put the parachute training subject aside for a while? ”

I understand what Zhao Jingping said, parachuting, especially helicopter parachuting...... It's a risky training subject, and it's according to our plan. There must be a transition from transport parachute to helicopter parachute, and if this training subject is to continue, then the agent company will not have time for other coordinated training!

"Hmm!" I nodded: "Now I see that I am about to walk on the training ground...... What we need more is to integrate the tactics that we already know, such as effective coordination between air, infantry, tank, and artillery. Let them become a combat system that is well-informed, quick to react, strong in combat, and able to complement each other, rather than learning new tactics...... Otherwise, we are very likely to have a situation where everything is half a bucket of water, and as a result, nothing is fine, that is, there is not much combat effectiveness! What do you think? ”

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

……

The cadres nodded in agreement one by one, after all, there is only one month left, and this little time is only enough time for us to integrate the existing tactics!

"Don't be discouraged!" I said, "We still have a lot of advantages...... For example, our previous training ...... Prior to this, we had carried out various coordination between infantry, tank, and artillery, which were also tactics used by the Soviets...... So it seems that this order from the superior seems to give us a restriction, but in fact, it is doing our old job, and there is not much difference. Let's say there's a difference...... That is, to add another helicopter to the coordination of these ground forces...... As long as we can use it well, it will be beneficial to us as well!

Not to mention...... And think about the good...... We're playing the Blues, what are the Blues? It's the Soviet devils...... What kind of equipment is this Soviet devil? Helicopters, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles...... The whole nine yards! What is the 391 troupe performing? It was the Red Army, that is, our troops...... Our troops must match the firepower of ordinary troops, so that the exercises that are carried out will be meaningful...... We all came out of our own army...... Hmmm......"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "It should be said that we are still our own troops now, damn it...... This exercise has not yet begun, and I think I am a Soviet devil! ”

"Coax!" With a bang, the battalion headquarters burst into laughter in an instant, and the oppressive atmosphere just now quickly disappeared with this burst of laughter!

After laughing for a while, I continued, "Then think about it...... Aren't we familiar with our own troops? What kind of firepower is distributed, what kind of equipment is used, and what tactics will be used...... We know that clearly. There is a saying that knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, isn't it already possible to be regarded as knowing the other, which is half the success...... What's more, their equipment is still a lot short of ours...... Do you think about the equipment of the Soviet army, what are we missing? AK74 is the same, armored vehicles are the same, but tanks and helicopters are a little worse, but the 391st regiment doesn't have these things yet, so we can't win? Then let's just disband and go home! ”

As soon as I said this, the cadres couldn't help but nod their heads...... Thinking about it this way, it is really said that it is necessary to use the tactics of the Soviet army, which is actually the set of training of our synthetic battalion, but the Soviet army is more closely coordinated and has an air force that we did not have before.

"So......" I said, "just like the instructor just said...... Don't be blindly negative and know that these are extraordinary times...... We in the North are facing the threat of a superpower, to put it simply...... It's just a threat of real combat! You're all soldiers...... Know what it's like for an army to face a real combat threat! Can the superiors not take it seriously? If you don't take it seriously, you lie to yourself, and then there is only one result...... It is to slap oneself in the mouth when war comes, and to lose one's own country, troops, and people...... That's why at this meeting, the superiors put forward a slogan: If there is a war tomorrow, then what should we do today! Do you think this is the case, comrades? ”

Hearing this, the cadres couldn't help but nod their heads.

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping replied: "We are relieved when you say this...... This is not an exercise, we have to treat it as a war. And it's not what we thought it was...... The Reds will definitely win, but it should be said that the Blues have the strength to win...... At least from the current state of affairs! ”

"That's right!" I nodded: "So do a good job of the ideological work of the fighters...... Don't have too much ideological burden, fight this battle well, and try to simulate the Soviet army as realistically as possible...... More valuable information for superiors and allies! ”

"Yes!" The cadres responded in unison. (To be continued......)
