My guess is correct, this is exactly what Commander Zhang meant by arranging the 40th Division to this base, and even the time was calculated......

When our 5th Battalion was fighting in Banwang, Commander Zhang replaced the 40th Division, and then took a month's vacation...... When we returned to the base after the fight, the troops of the 40th Division also came back for training at the end of the holiday.

But this is only one of Commander Zhang's purposes......

That day, before my three-day vacation was over, Commander Zhang couldn't wait to call me to the headquarters.

"Good news for you!" As soon as he saw me, Commander Zhang lowered his voice and said in an excited tone: "You have made another great achievement, and we have secretly transmitted the news to Afghanistan according to your plan......"

"So fast!" I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard this.

"Huh!" Commander Zhang replied: "Isn't it just a word, how long will it take!" ”

I think about it...... However, when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, this is a connection between countries, which is not something that can be done with a phone call, especially since China was relatively closed before and did not have much diplomatic relations with other countries...... So this also shows that our high-level should have been following the situation in Afghanistan for a long time and have already made contacts.

Thinking about it, Commander Zhang also has a considerable understanding of the situation in Afghanistan, so he is more and more sure of his thoughts.

But it's not surprising, if it's an ordinary person, there's really no need to care about Afghanistan or anything, but as a country, for a country like Afghanistan that has relations with the Soviet Union, and it's also our neighbor...... That care and contact is a must.

"What do you say about ......," Commander Zhang said with an incredulous expression, "We're still on the right track...... I didn't expect that the Amin government really had this thing when it was investigated, and the Soviet Union really conspired with the former prime minister to get rid of the Amin government. Now let the Amin government catch it all! ”

"Hmm. And such a coincidence?!" I feigned surprise on my face. Actually, I knew this would happen for a long time.

"yes!" Commander Zhang nodded and said, "This is really a coincidence, now Ah Ming owes us a favor, and the road ahead will be much easier......"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart...... This favor is actually useless at all, after more than two months...... This Amin would have been shot and killed by Soviet agents, which was also the beginning of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

As for weishenme, this will be the result...... At this time, the Soviet Union had been working hard in Afghanistan for decades, and had considerable influence in the Afghan military and political circles, and even before the start of the war, the Soviet military advisers had a way to get the Afghan government army to dismantle the tanks in the name of repair and maintenance......

In that battle, who will win and who will lose in this battle does not need to be thought about to know.

But that's why the Soviet Union made this wrong decision...... They thought that their infiltration of Afghanistan on all fronts was enough. Then send a few troops to attack inside and outside...... This Afghanistan is not yet easy to capture?!!

For this reason, the Soviet Union dared to compete with the United States and support Vietnam in the war with China...... The war in Afghanistan was launched.

Who would have thought that it would be easy to control the Afghan government, but it would be difficult to control the tribes and military forces within Afghanistan...... You must know that these tribes and military liliang are beyond the control of even the Afghan government.

So the Soviet Union soon fell into a quagmire...... This battle will be fought for ten years!

If we carefully analyze the decade of the Sino-Vietnamese War and the decade of the Soviet-Afghan War...... You will find that the war began and ended at a similar time, the Soviet-Afghan War ended in 89, the Sino-Vietnamese War was fought in February 90 and returned to peace, and then the collapse of the Soviet Union in 91......

String this series of events together...... It is not difficult to find the connection between them: if the Soviet Union participated in two wars at the same time, it could not hold on, and if the Soviet Union could not hold on, then Vietnam would naturally have nothing to fight!

So this is very clear, Afghanistan is a very important code to contain the Soviet Union.

"Let's not talk about this yet!" Commander Zhang changed his words and asked, "How is it?" It's okay to communicate with the old chiefs! ”

"It's fine!" I said, "I just found some problems......"

"What's the problem, tell me!" Commander Zhang seems to have guessed that I would say this.

"The current situation on the battlefield seems to have changed!" I said, "The training in our synthetic camp seems to be a little useless!" ”

"That's right!" Commander Zhang nodded: "But the training of the synthetic battalion can't be said to be useless...... It should be said that this is to prescribe the right medicine for the shortcomings of our army, such as insufficient coordination and backward tactics of various arms exposed in the counterattack war, and the battle of Banwang fully illustrates this point. So not only is it not useless, but it can come in handy! Merely...... These tactical training and coordination are used in the long run. If another large-scale offensive and defensive battle is fought, it will work. In other words, it is summing up the lessons of the counterattack...... But now there is the problem of burning eyebrows, that is, the current situation on the battlefield has turned into small-scale, low-intensity conflicts, and it is likely to continue for a long time...... This requires us to solve this problem first! ”

"But......" I said hesitantly, "I have been thinking about these problems these days, and the trouble of the Vietnamese army mainly comes from two aspects, one is agent warfare and the other is sniper warfare...... There is no good way to deal with agents vs. snipers, which is to use agents against agents and snipers against snipers...... It's okay to say that the agent's words are just that, it's a matter of selection and training, sniper warfare...... Without the sniper rifle as a basis, everything is on paper......"

"Who said we don't have sniper rifles?" Commander Zhang interrupted me.

"Is there one?" I can't help but feel strange, our army's Type 79 sniper rifle that imitates SVD was mass-produced in 81!

"Absolutely!" Commander Zhang said with a smile: "Now there are not a few sniper rifles captured by our army, and with the efforts of the military industry, the imitation work has also made great progress, and a batch should come out in a few months......

"Oh!" When I heard this, I realized a mistake in my understanding...... Weapons and equipment: Just because there is no mass equipment does not mean that there is none.

For example, our army's Type 69 tank, in fact, has already existed, and even appeared on the battlefield, but it was not until 82 that it was mass-produced and officially equipped.

The reason for this is that before mass production, it is necessary to find out what problems with the equipment will be as much as possible, and even use the equipment on the battlefield or in experiments, and improve the deficiencies if they are found...... If there is no such step to put into mass production, then once the problem is found, it will be over, a large number of mass production are problematic or even have been put into the battlefield, whether it is retracted, reworked or replaced, it will cause a great waste of resources and turmoil in the troops.

So I understood a little bit about what Commander Zhang meant...... It is also possible to use our troops as "guinea pigs", which simply means that no matter what new equipment comes out or is improved, let our troops use it before they are equipped in batches...... In the process of use, you will find such and such problems, so you can make improvements.

Sure enough, then Commander Zhang said, "How is it?" Equipment is not a problem, if needed...... It's okay to concentrate the captured sniper rifles in your battalion, you can train them first...... When the sniper rifle comes out, equip your troops first, and the rest of the equipment will be used by your troops first! ”

I couldn't help but cry and laugh when I heard this, Commander Zhang was using our troops for experiments, and he said as if he was giving our troops a favor.

So I hesitated and said, "Commander, what about ...... Can we not have these equipment? ”

"Of course not!" Commander Zhang said: "If you don't want it, you have to ask for it!" ”

"I knew that...... There's no such thing as a free lunch! ”

"You kid!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but hahadaxiao: "It's as fine as a ghost, nothing can escape your eyes......" r

"Commander, just say it......" I said, "what do you want us to do?" ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang smiled and nodded: "There are three main tasks of your synthetic battalion: one is to assist the infantry school in the adaptation of tactical textbooks, this task does not require you to put too much effort into it, you can hang the name of a infantry school consultant, and the infantry school will send a few observers to your troops to observe the records, and use this as a basis to verify them on the battlefield before writing them into the textbooks." The second is that our troops will comprehensively upgrade their equipment in recent years, including submachine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles, etc., and these weapons need to be found and improved as much as possible before they are put into mass production, which requires you to train your equipment and even put it into use on the battlefield. The first is to solve the difficult problems on the battlefield at present and provide a feasible tactical guidance and tactical direction for the whole army. Questions? ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, the first two points were so-so, so if you want to observe, just observe...... Let's just leave it without those people. As for the problem of experimental weapons, it is not a big problem, that is, it may be dangerous to put the problematic equipment into actual combat, as long as this is discovered in time during training, and this task seems to be only possible for synthetic battalions...... Our synthetic battalion is available in all arms, and any equipment can be used.

It's this third ...... Provide tactical guidance to the whole army...... This puts our synthetic battalion at a high level, and besides, I only have two infantry companies in my hands now, and this is a little less.

Unexpectedly, Commander Zhang had already thought about it, and he continued: "As for the issue of the source of troops...... The 40th division is put there, and whoever you want to pick will go! ”

When Commander Zhang said this, I opened my mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time, and the 40th Division has become my reserve source. (To be continued......)
