Chapter 1 Reconnaissance Brigade
Just like the fight against economic crime, the wind of the strike hard did not blow in the barracks.
This is not surprising, mainly because the barracks and society can be said to be two worlds, especially during the war years...... First of all, the barracks are relatively closed, and there is not much contact with the people, and if there is contact, it is a few days to go home on vacation, and the vacation for us to be soldiers is pitiful. The second is that soldiers have their own military rules, and if they commit something, most of them are handled within the army.
Unlike the fight against economic crime, even the soldiers in the barracks are feeling the pressure to crack down.
Of course, this pressure is mainly from military families...... When the soldiers receive letters or make phone calls to their families, they will hear that the public security bureau has arrested someone in the village, who has been convicted of hooliganism, sentenced to death, and then sentenced to life for stealing.
It is still quite shocking when I hear these things, because before this, there were not so many people who would be sentenced to such a heavy sentence because of these small mistakes that were considered insignificant in the past, and there were also some relatives and friends of the soldiers who were sentenced, so when they chatted after tea, even the atmosphere in the barracks was different.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but nod secretly...... Although it is inevitable that there will be some unjust cases, wrongful convictions, or excessively heavy sentences, it is quite necessary to stop this unhealthy trend and shock criminals or those who are ready to commit crimes in their hearts.
On the other hand, during this period, whether on the radio, radio, or television, all the decisions and cases of the central authorities on the strike hard were shown. This is what I said to Commander Zhang before.
I found out later. In fact, the propaganda organized by the superiors is far more than that...... When I catch some key hit objects. For example, when serious criminal offenses such as rape, murder, and robbery are committed, the public security department's practice is to parade the criminals through the streets with a large number of armed police officers with loaded guns, and then conduct a public trial, and issue a public notice after the verdict or execution.
Needless to say, the intention of this practice is that ordinary people have never seen this kind of battle, armed policemen with murderous submachine guns escorting criminals with dead faces around the streets...... Those who have signs of crime in their hearts will think: At this time, the limelight is tight, and they just want to steal or do something, so let's wait for the limelight to pass after a while!
So naturally. The previous social phenomenon of uncontrollable crime has been temporarily resolved. And the Chinese people just have a kind of mentality of following the herd, and when crimes became popular before, everyone wanted to fish in troubled waters to get some benefits...... Although you can't do robbery and murder, it's always okay to steal and do something.
But now that we have cracked down on it, this unhealthy trend will be stopped immediately.
On the other hand, various reforms have also been actively carried out within the public security departments.
I can't interfere too much with how to change them internally, and I'm not very interested in this aspect, although this military and police are a family, but I have long been accustomed to this kind of high-intensity war on the battlefield, and these things of the public security department really can't stimulate us enough.
But judging from Deputy Director Xie's report, their reform has also been quite effective.
The first is in the area of personnel appointments. It is no longer as simple as before to take a test for social units or something to recruit into the public security department. Nowadays, they pay more attention to the cultivation and appointment of human resources, and carry out necessary training and re-education for those who have already been appointed. to enhance the su zhì they need.
Of course, in the process, a large number of people who are not suitable for continuing to work in the public security department or who are unnecessary will be eliminated, so as to achieve the goal of streamlining the administration of the army.
In fact, this is a bit like the disarmament of our army, but it is conceivable that the reduction in the public security department will be much smaller than that of our army. There is no other reason, our army is forced by the life-and-death juncture of war, and if we do not reform, it means that we have no combat effectiveness, and going to the battlefield means greater casualties, and human lives are at stake, forcing us to be ruthless and vigorously reform.
But what about the public security department...... In a peaceful society, they do not have such a painful or urgent need for reform, if there is really any immediate pain, that is, the previous Erwang incident caused the public security department to lose face and feel the pressure from the superiors and the people.
From this point of view, the Erwang incident still has its positive significance. Or it can be said that the incident of the two kings seems to be an accident, but in fact it is inevitable...... In fact, this is a typical case that will inevitably expose the defects of China's public security departments and the backwardness of criminal investigation methods in this era.
The second is the reform of the means.
This point is basically the points I mentioned, and various cities have successively improved the "110" alarm telephone and carried out the necessary publicity; Install monitoring equipment at some important traffic points, of course, due to the limited national strength, at this time it is only a few railway stations or bus stations with large flow of people; At the same time, it also stepped up the improvement of the ID card system and the improvement of hardware facilities (note: the first generation of ID card system in history was implemented in 84).
Besides, I don't think I have any better opinion on social security...... The fact is that I have no knowledge of public order at all, and the reason why I am able to put forward the above constructive and quite practical opinions is precisely because these points are as commonplace in modern times.
At the same time, I also know that I have nothing to worry about in this regard, because as a modern person, I know very well that in the near future, China will become one of the safest countries in the world...... Many tourists who come to China can't help but sigh: "China is so safe, you don't have to worry about safety when you walk on the streets alone in the middle of the night, which is unimaginable in many countries." ”
Therefore, while the society was vigorously carrying out a strike hard, I once again turned my attention to the reconnaissance brigade that was training in the synthetic battalion.
"How's the Scout Brigade training?" I asked Chen Yiyi.
"The training went well." Chen Yiyi replied: "Among them, we have absorbed a group of new players to make up for the vacancy that was eliminated before, and then eliminated again to replenish it." Repeat this three times. Now there is finally a force of five hundred people. Continue training for a while. It is believed that they will soon become the appearance of the Vietnamese army. Just ......"
"Just what?"
"Did the battalion commander ever think about it." Chen Yiyi said: "If you want to truly become the appearance of the Vietnamese army, it is not enough to be able to speak Vietnamese and use the tactics of the Vietnamese army. ”
"Hmm!" I nodded.
I understand the meaning of Chen Yiyi's words, you must know that the Vietnamese army has all grown up during the war years, and their tactics and su zhì have also been trained in the war, while our reconnaissance brigade has been trained in a peaceful society, although many of them are veterans of the battlefield, but from the perspective of the entire army, they lack the kind of military spirit that has been refined by the flames of war.
This kind of military spirit is an indescribable feeling. Just like a soldier who has not been on the battlefield can tell at a glance, and an army can be seen as soon as he moves whether he has been on the battlefield or not.
"What do you mean......"
"Let them go to war!" Chen Yiyi said: "Train in actual combat. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't just want to train the reconnaissance team......
Chen Yiyi rolled her eyes, looked at no one around, and responded dissatisfiedly: "I know and said, I haven't been allowed to go to the battlefield for so long, you know that our sisters are bent on revenge!" ”
I couldn't help but shake my head.
Of course, I know the thoughts of the Chen sisters, but it is precisely because of this that I don't feel at ease about letting them go to the battlefield. You must know that the battlefield is a place that needs to be calm, impulsiveness can only do bad things, and the psychology of revenge will make them lose their due judgment.
I'd love to convince them to give up the idea of revenge, after all. Personal hatred is so small compared to wars between nations.
But I didn't say anything, because I knew the Chen sisters. Especially Chen Yiyi...... Her idea is actually very simple, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no country, in her eyes there is only home, and this home may only be limited to Chen Qiaoqiao and me, if there is anyone else, it is the parents who have died in her memory and want to avenge it.
This is actually not difficult to understand, she lives in a different environment from me, she has lost her relatives and family since she was a child, she subconsciously desperately wants to have a home, and even enters a state of paranoia about her home and relatives, which is why she had to choose to leave me for Chen Qiaoqiao.
Therefore, we often say that "there is no home without a country", but in Chen Qiaoqiao's heart, it is "there is no country without a home".
"I know I can't convince you." After thinking about it, I had to nod and admit: "But I hope you can try to stay calm on the battlefield and not be impulsive." Just like you don't think about yourself, you have to think about these warriors under you. ”
"What do you mean......"
"Get ready, take the reconnaissance unit to the war zone for training!" I say.
"Really!" Chen Yiyi's eyes couldn't help but widen, looking incredulous.
"I haven't changed my mind yet." I said, "Get ready to go!" ”
"Yes!" Hearing this, Chen Yiyi hurriedly closed her mouth and responded, and secretly grimaced at me before leaving.
In the end, I decided to let them go to the battlefield in Vietnam again, because I knew that it was useless to stop them all the time, and their hearts would have already flown to the battlefield. On the other hand, what Chen Yiyi said is indeed reasonable, what the reconnaissance brigade needs now is training in a battlefield atmosphere.
Of course, this does not mean that the reconnaissance brigade is about to go into battle, that is, to carry out missions deep into enemy territory. We are preparing them for future missions...... You must know that it is not a joke to disguise yourself as an enemy and go deep into the enemy territory, this requires a very strong psychological element, otherwise, even if you can speak Vietnamese and are dressed as a Vietnamese soldier? When the Yue devil asked a few words, his legs trembled, and it wasn't that he showed his feet in two and a half.
Of course, as soon as the reconnaissance brigade moves, our synthetic battalion will also have to follow suit.
This is due to the coordination between the reconnaissance brigade and the synthetic battalion...... As we expected before, the reconnaissance brigade is to go deep into the enemy's territory to conduct special operations, and the composite battalion is to carry out special operations within the territory accordingly, cooperating with each other inside and outside, and at the same time, because our synthetic battalion wants to improve the training of the reconnaissance brigade, it is natural to rush to the front line together.
This time, however, our task seemed to be easy, because this time it was actually training. There are no other substantive combat missions.
Let's really talk about any tasks. That is also the real task of the reconnaissance brigade...... They had to carry out some small-scale infiltration and capture missions on the front line. In order to achieve the purpose of refining their actual combat ability and psychological quality.
As for our composite battalion, it is to give some necessary command to the reconnaissance brigade in the rear, or to conduct a post-war review and targeted training in response to their shortcomings when they return.
So this time we only took the agent company and the sniper company, divided into three planes and flew directly to Yunnan.
The reason why the destination is still Yunnan is because the border in Yunnan is not calm at this stage...... After all, the battle of Laoshan has just been fought here, although now the ghosts have no ability to organize a big counterattack since the 7.12 battle, but under their character of not admitting defeat, small battles and sneak attacks have basically not been broken.
One thing is obvious. The more unstable the place, the more effective the training of the reconnaissance brigade will be, so the direction of Yunnan, especially the Laoshan area, is our first choice.
Although we didn't come up with the artillery sighting radar this time, it was the process of the reconnaissance brigade starting from scratch, so the level of secrecy was also quite high, except for the high-level commanders of Division Commander Jiang who knew about it, and few people even knew that we had returned to the war zone.
"Battalion Commander Yang!" As soon as I got out of the car, Staff Officer Wei hugged me tightly.
I can understand his feelings, he is a soldier who fought against the Yue devils on the battlefield, you must know that ordinary people will be moved to tears when they meet their old acquaintances in a foreign country, not to mention that we are comrades-in-arms who have fought together.
"How's it going?" I asked.
"One qiē is normal!" Staff Officer Wei replied, "It's just ...... The devils also knew that our artillery radar had been withdrawn. So the artillery is starting to fight again, and the artillery fighters are looking forward to your return. I ask all day long, and my ears are calloused! ”
"Now our artillery should no longer be at a disadvantage!" I say.
"Of course!" Staff Officer Wei replied easily: "The battle of 7.12 beat the Yue devils badly, and now the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army is obviously much weaker, but the soldiers are used to having artillery sighting radar...... Some soldiers also said that they dreamed of beating the Vietnamese artillery as hard as 7.12! ”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, this matter is not up to me, and it is not a good thing that the soldiers have become dependent on artillery sighting radar so quickly.
However, there seems to be nothing wrong with this, on the one hand, there is an artillery sight radar, but it is only accurate and accurate, and there is not much difference for the artillery, and it is also adjusted according to the coordinates reported by the superiors and then fired. On the other hand, the war in the future will become more and more modern, to put it simply, in a few years, our army's own artillery sighting radar will be imitated, and soon after it will be mass-equipped, and the war at that time will really not work without this artillery sighting radar.
In other words, the trend of the future is to get the fighters accustomed to warfare with artillery sight radar. It's just that at this stage, first, because the number of artillery sighting radars in our army is too small, and second, it will take time to imitate and equip them, so it is unrealistic to rely too much on artillery sighting radars.
"So be it!" After getting into the car, I raised my head at the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade in the car in front of me and said, "Although we didn't bring artillery sighting radar this time, we can actually say that we brought another kind of artillery sighting radar...... The superiors meant that the Vietnamese army agents would call, and our scouts would also fight out. Our mission this time is to get them out. Of course, this one has to be played slowly, I think...... Let's start with the cooperation with the artillery units to strike at the enemy's front-line targets! ”
"Hmm!" Staff Officer Wei looked at the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade who were sitting in front of him, and nodded.
This is actually training courage, in fact, the task is not complicated, that is, a few people lurking on the front line to observe the front line of the Vietnamese army. When a suspicious target is found, it directs the artillery to launch a bombardment.
Of course, this is not just a training of courage, because it is also quite important for the reconnaissance brigade to cooperate with the artillery and direct the artillery fire into the designated position...... Their mission in the future is to penetrate deep into enemy territory, and if they find some important targets, such as a large number of Vietnamese troops gathered, or if there are important military facilities that need artillery bombardment, then if they cannot correctly guide the artillery bombardment, they will only miss a good opportunity.
From this point of view, artillery sighting radar is not always useful.
For example, in this case, the reconnaissance brigade needs artillery bombardment when it finds an important target behind enemy lines...... At this time, there were no artillery shells coming from the direction of the Vietnamese army, and the artillery sighting radar could not detect the coordinates, so it could only rely on the manual guidance of the reconnaissance brigade.
In other words, it's not always high-tech that is useful.
This is especially important for an army, even in modern warfare...... The reason is that modern warfare still has a large number of electronic jamming equipment, and if we completely rely on advanced equipment for combat, a fatal situation will appear, that is, once the high-tech equipment breaks down or is interfered with by the enemy, it will become powerless and do not know how to fight.
This is obviously not tolerable for an army, because if it happens, it is likely to mean the total annihilation of the army. (To be continued......)
