Chapter 129: Airborne Forces
PS: I'm late to play with my classmates.,This chapter is to make up for last night.,Update normally from today.
There are few objections to parachute training, after all, the soldiers are all from the battlefield in Afghanistan, and they all know that parachuting is often limited by conditions and sometimes not suitable for use, so parachute landing has become very necessary.
But these things don't seem to require much concern from me...... I believe that Zhao Jingping and these staff officers can do a good job in this matter, on the one hand, because I am very satisfied with the training plan and results formulated by the General Staff Headquarters before. On the other hand, it is because Zhao Jingping's staff officers have also been to Afghanistan...... In other words, the purpose of I took so many staff officers to Afghanistan at that time...... Not only to let them assist me in commanding, but also to let them go to the battlefield and experience the various tactics of modern troops like the Soviet devils......
This seems to be Commander Zhang's original intention in sending us to the battlefield in Afghanistan...... If you read reports or learn combat experience from others, you will never be able to fight the Soviet devils in person, and you will be the enemy of the Soviet devils...... We'll have more opportunities to learn about their tactics.
It's just a bit of a pity...... The performance of the Soviet devils on the battlefield in Afghanistan was not as good as we thought, and it can even be said that the staff officers were a little disappointed.
Just like Ding Chengdong said...... "This Soviet devil didn't fight very well, the soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, and the tanks didn't know how to cooperate with the infantry, I don't think the devils fought well!" ”
All the staff officers deeply agreed with what Ding Chengdong said, after all, the staff officers were also veterans who had participated in the self-defense counterattack. Knowing the ruthlessness of the devil in the war...... Only a few, such as Zhao Jingping, felt that this was only because the Soviet army was affected by the terrain of Afghanistan. In addition, the battles fought by the Soviet army in the history of the Soviet army were basically regular battles. No experience in guerrilla warfare.
Zhao Jingping's views are of course correct, but I don't think it's complete...... The reason why the Soviet army and the Vietnamese army felt that the Vietnamese army was stronger in the eyes of many staff officers...... A considerable part of this is due to the fact that the Chinese army has always paid attention to "not being afraid of sacrifice and hardship", because Vietnam is a poor country and has been in a state of war for a long time, and the Vietnamese army has been greatly influenced by our army...... Many of Vietnam's ace troops were directly trained and equipped by China on the Sino-Vietnamese border during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Vietnam, and only then entered Vietnam to participate in the war, so the fighting style of the Vietnamese army naturally also has the side of "not afraid of sacrifice and hardship".
On the contrary, the Soviet army ...... But because a considerable part of them were recruits and were used to living a life of enjoyment, plus the Soviet army was fighting in other countries...... Its mentality and morale are naturally another angle. So this performance is completely different from that of the Vietnamese army.
This also made our trip to Afghanistan not only feel the advanced and powerful weapons and equipment of the Soviet army...... There is not much to learn from tactics, the terrain of Afghanistan is not suitable for large-scale armored forces, artillery units and infantry coordination, plus the Soviet army is extremely unsuitable for the terrain of Afghanistan...... Polar bears can go to the hot, arid desert areas to fight, and they can be the right people. So there's nothing to learn from that.
But there is one exception...... That is the coordination between air power and infantry, which is also a common means used by the Soviet army to attack the Shigio Valley, especially the cooperation of helicopters with infantry and paratroopers...... It is important to know that before that, our army was mainly engaged in the development of the army, so these tactics opened the eyes of Zhao Jingping's staff officers, and it was imperative to study and train this tactic.
Because of his previous training experience, Zhao Jingping was familiar with parachute training at this time......
First of all, a group of paratroopers from the airborne forces of our army was transferred over...... Of course, this group of paratroopers was accompanied by several cadres who were very good in all aspects. This group of paratroopers numbered one company. The cadre who led them was a battalion commander, plus several staff officers.
It took a lot of twists and turns...... The main reason is that the Airborne Forces do not have this will.
Initially they only promised to send us a few coaches...... Zhao Jingping said no. A company must be sent......
Zhao Jingping's request is, of course, reasonable...... This is not a shelf for a camp, but the previous training experience tells us that only the soldiers themselves teach one-on-one so that the speed of learning is fast, and there will be a lot of actual combat experience that will be unconsciously taught because of the coordinated training of the low-level soldiers, and even sometimes the small experience of the soldiers is more important than what is taught in the textbook...... These small lessons are often simple and practical, so they are especially valuable.
But it is uncomfortable to listen to it on the side of the Airborne Forces...... Your synthetic battalion is amazing, and to learn to parachute, our troops need to send a company to teach them one-on-one......
However, because there is an order from above...... This is a task to be completed by the Airborne Forces, so I swallowed this breath stiffly...... A company is just a company, anyway, the Airborne Forces don't have any tasks now, and they are idle when they are idle.
So he quickly reported the list of a company, ready to send it to the base at any time......
But Zhao Jingping looked at the list and information, and said no...... The only officer with the highest rank in the list is the company commander, and it is not a problem for the officer to be big or small, as long as he will be excellent...... But the company commander did not have a staff officer, so the last thing was to send a battalion commander with two more staff officers.
There is no problem for Zhao Jingping to say so...... At the same time, the general staff department should communicate with the staff officers of the paratrooper units, and then carry out targeted training subjects to start training, so as to achieve the formation of combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, and even the study and application of parachute tactics.
But the Airborne Forces were furious as soon as they heard it...... Mother, the parachute training of a synthetic battalion has become a big deal, and it is not enough to send a company of soldiers to the past, and the lion opens his mouth to ask the battalion commander to ask for a staff officer!
So all kinds of non-cooperation and all kinds of prevarications came out......
For example, "during this period, the training of the airborne troops is relatively tight, the tasks are relatively heavy, and so we cannot send so many manpower for a while", or "we are selecting people, and the quality of our airborne troops is not comparable to that of your synthetic battalion, and we want to find out the outstanding talents of a company...... It's hard! ”
……
In short, there are many excuses, and the Chinese are quite powerful, and sometimes the excuses make you wonder how to blame them.
But of course, all this can't be hidden from Zhao Jingping's eyes...... Just kidding, he slowly rose from a small soldier to a staff officer of the General Staff Department of the Military Region, and playing this game with him is tantamount to getting an axe......
So Zhao Jingping made a phone call...... The people we needed were quickly arrived at the base by helicopter.
The leader of this airborne force was a battalion commander surnamed Chen...... The person looks black and thin, and later learned that the Daoist thin man has an advantage in the airborne troops, and the paratrooper umbrella equipped by our army in this era still belongs to the first generation of the 112 umbrella...... One paratrooper, together with its own weight, almost reaches the maximum bearing capacity of the parachute, and the impact force of the paratrooper when landing is quite large...... It is said to reach forty kilograms, so it is common for paratroopers to break bones or something during training.
Looking at the information, we know that the battalion commander surnamed Chen Shengde is a veteran who has a good grasp of various parachute techniques, and it is especially important to ...... Under his direction, the training accidents that occurred in his battalion were minimal...... This is also the reason why Zhao Jingping and I are very satisfied with him, I don't want my carefully trained agents to ...... If you will not be able to go to the battlefield again because you were injured during parachute training, it is not only a loss for the soldiers, but also a loss for our troops and even for the country.
It's just that this Camp Commander Chen had a black face when he came...... It's not right to say that he has a black face, whether Zhao Jingping asks him to rest or what he does, he simply responds to "yes", and does it meticulously, including the three staff officers he brought.
I know they're in a hurry...... So they use this attitude of obeying orders on the surface, but not taking us seriously in their hearts.
Later, I found out about the road...... In fact, it is not only them, but the entire company sent by the Airborne Forces is like this...... There are three no's circulating within them, namely: "no cooperation, no communication, no conflict......
To put it simply, they are like machines, they can do whatever they want, even if they teach the synthetic battalion to parachute training, they are still taught from the script...... But we will never exchange experiences with our synthesis camp.
Is this worth it?!
You must know that our goal is to learn all kinds of parachute techniques quickly and well, but now these "masters" have adopted such a negative attitude...... It's weird to learn well and quickly!
Later, I learned that there is actually a reason why these airborne troops have such a bullish temper...... Just as the airborne troops of the Soviet devils were the most elite troops, the airborne troops of our army also selected the best quality soldiers from the infantry to join.
The Airborne Forces were formed in 1950...... You must know that Lu Dao had just finished the civil war at that time, and the soldiers in the various units were all from the small Japan and the Kuomintang...... At this time, the higher authorities selected a group of combat heroes and model squad and platoon cadres from the army units to form this airborne troops...... Because the conditions required at the beginning were so harsh that it was not enough to draw more than 5,000 people from the millions of soldiers in the whole army, and finally had to lower the threshold...... The shortfall is by-selected with excellent fighters.
It is said that this army of more than 5,000 people at that time ...... Eighty-eight percent of the party members and 93 percent of the combat heroes accounted for ......
After the sixties...... He also directly incorporated the 15 th Army, which fought the Shangganling Battle in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and produced heroes like Huang Jiguang into the airborne troops.
A force like this...... At this time, we were called around like this by the synthetic battalion...... It's weird if you don't have a temper! (To be continued......)
