Chapter Ninety-Six: Antennas
Evenings were originally a time to study ideology and politics...... I had a headache when I read this thing when I was studying, and when I had the chance, of course I didn't want to click it.
The instructor argued with me for a while, according to his words...... That is to say, if a unit does not take a firm stand and does not have a correct ideology, it will be very difficult for it to carry forward the spirit of heroic combat on the battlefield, so this ideological and political lesson is necessary.
I just have one thing to say to the instructor...... Instructor, do you think how many of our Second Company can fight are "firm and upright"?
As soon as I said this, the instructor was speechless, because he knew very well that our second company had "rebelled...... During the counterattack war, because the company commander's chaotic command was unpopular, the whole company was reversed...... It is precisely because of this that there is Company Commander Luo and the new instructor.
And I also believe in one thing, that is, Commander Zhang has told the instructor not to have too many restrictions on me, so the instructor Zuihou didn't insist any more.
Since the ideological and political class has been cut, the fighters must not be allowed to play!
Of course not...... It's a good time to take stock of your training experience and share your experience.
So I divided my troops into nine squads, each with 60 or 70 men, but each squad was mixed according to the proportion of infantry, tank, artillery, and engineering arms, and each squad was assigned one or two staff officers to provide guidance.
As for the content of the class...... That's a lot to talk about, the artillery tells the infantry, the infantry tells the sappers about shooting, the sappers talk to the tank crews about mines, and the veterans talk to the recruits about tactics...... So the whole class looks like it's a mess, and a bunch of people here and there seem to be telling stories. When he talked about it, he would dance on the blackboard and write and draw.
This is the time for decentralized learning. There is no doubt that such learning is beneficial to the exchange of knowledge among the various branches of the armed forces. And the fighters know about it...... It is very likely that these things will be the things that will save their lives on the battlefield in the future, and what we are practicing now is the cooperation between the soldiers, so naturally we don't dare to be lazy, and they are all very active in asking each other for advice.
Of course, there are times when you study intensively, for example, for the infantry, it is necessary to pull out the sappers to take a few demining lessons, explain clearly what to pay attention to on the road, and then let the sappers come to inspect them on the spot after the lessons.
Education is such a thing...... If a teacher is asked to speak in a lecture hall, no matter what the content is, the people listening below will be drowsy. This is something that I know deeply for those of you who have been attending classes for more than ten years in modern times.
But if you let them be their own teachers and teach others, or ask what they want to know according to their own interests...... That's different, that kind of intellectual curiosity will make them break the casserole and ask the end, and they won't stop until they figure it out, so they will gain some knowledge and experience on the battlefield unconsciously, or in the process of telling and listening to stories from their comrades-in-arms.
When I walked outside the class as usual that night, I noticed that there was a class that was very quiet and a little depressing...... I was intrigued and walked in with the guards.
"Battalion commander!" As soon as tank staff officer Ding Chengdong saw me, he hurriedly greeted me.
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Other classes are discussing hotly, but your class is this kind of virtuous ......."
"Battalion commander!" Ding Chengdong explained: "Just now Company Commander Huang told us about the battle in which their tank battalion suffered heavy losses at the pass! ”
"Oh!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but suddenly realize. Looking at Huang Jianfu's red eyes again, you can see that this guy is sad again.
"The past does not forget the teacher of the future!" I said, "It doesn't matter if you lost a lot of money before. As long as you don't make the same mistakes in the future! ”
"Battalion commander!" Huang Jianfu stood up and said, "But no one can find a solution to this problem......
"Hmm! What a question, let's hear it! ”
"It's a matter of the command vehicle!" Ding Chengdong replied on his behalf: "A big reason why the company of the commander of the Huang Company suffered so many casualties is that the command vehicle can be identified, and the cadre vehicle generally has two antennas, one to communicate with superiors and one to communicate with subordinates, and if you want to communicate with infantry, there will even be three antennas...... The more devils also knew this characteristic of our tanks, so the first batch of cadres and vehicles were attacked, and the entire tank unit soon lost its command and was in chaos! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, I also remember that Huang Jianfu's battalion of more than 30 tanks was beaten to the bottom of the king's car, which is a common problem in counterattacks.
"But let's think about it......," Ding Chengdong said in embarrassment, "because our army's communication equipment is backward, it is difficult to turn two or even three antennas into one antenna, and if it is reduced, it will be difficult to coordinate with superiors or infantry......
"Weishenme to be reduced?" I asked rhetorically.
Ding Chengdong couldn't help but be full of doubts when he heard this: "If you don't reduce the number of antennas, won't you be ...... by the devils?"
"Weishenme can't be increased?" I asked again.
"Increase?" Ding Chengdong's face was full of confusion, and the soldiers didn't know what I meant.
zuihou I can't help it, and said with a little helpless expression: "You heads...... Since the antennas of the cadre car can't be reduced, why can't you add a few antennas to other cars, and get three antennas for it, and see which one the devil can find out which one is the cadre car! ”
"That's right!" At this time, someone patted his head: "This method is good!" ”
"That's right! It's easy to say, just plug in a few fake antennas, isn't it? ”
"Damn! How could we not have imagined that it was so simple! ”
"Nonsense, you'll think you're the battalion commander!"
……
And Ding Chengdong also opened his mouth wide at this time and couldn't close it for a long time, as if he only understood the gap between me and me at this time.
In fact, it seems normal for the soldiers not to think about this, this requires a little reverse thinking, and people in this era are limited by the times and education, most people have a tendon in their heads, and they will think in one direction...... If you think about it from another angle, it's not difficult at all.
As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I remembered that I had a competitor...... That is, Chen Jiahao's battalion, so he turned around and whispered to Ding Chengdong and ordered: "This method is not allowed to leak out!" Do a good job of confidentiality! ”
"Yes!" Ding Chengdong is a staff officer, of course he knows the meaning of doing this, so he immediately stood up and responded.
I thought to myself as I walked out of the classroom...... In fact, it is necessary to plug in a second antenna for ordinary tanks, which can be used to communicate with the following infantry. You must know that tank crews generally hide in the tank compartment and use periscopes to observe the battlefield outside the outside world when fighting......
When fighting in a tank, the members generally do not poke their heads out to observe, because the tank members perform their own duties, the driver is responsible for driving, the gunner is responsible for aiming and shooting the enemy, the second gunner is responsible for loading shells, and the commander is responsible for contacting superiors and directing and coordinating the combat of all tank members. This determines that as long as one member of a tank is killed or injured, it is very likely to lose its combat effectiveness or greatly reduce its combat effectiveness due to the inability to cooperate.
This is what I learned after reading the tank tactics textbook, so I strictly ordered tank members not to peek out of the tank to use anti-aircraft machine guns during combat, and just put this thing outside for the infantry to use.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the tank is slow to respond to the situation on the battlefield in the outside world, and at the same time, it is not comprehensive enough, and because of the noise and thick armor of the tank, the voice of the infantry cannot be heard in the tank at all...... Therefore, although it is close to a foot away, it is like a mountain...... On the battlefield, the connection between infantry and tanks is often to smash the butt of a rifle, with a smash on the left and a turn to the left, and a smash on the right to turn to the right.
This will undoubtedly be much more flexible if the infantry and the tank can communicate through walkie-talkies and guide and direct the tank in real time.
So I quickly made up my mind...... This communication equipment must be popularized to the squad, to every tank, and preferably a tank and an infantry squad can form a combat unit for coordinated training.
As I walked, I quickly thought again...... Since the problem of tank antennas is solved from a different angle, what about the problem of infantry carrying? Maybe I should think differently.
The Type 63 armored transporter cannot be counted on for the time being...... That means that the infantry must carry the tank, and the infantry must carry the tank means that they have to tie themselves to the tank......
On the premise of being tied to a tank, there is only one way to increase the speed of reaction as much as possible...... It is easy for the fighters to tie themselves to the tank, and then they can easily untie themselves when there is a situation!
That's right! It's not much easier to do that, and it's not ideal, but there's a way to make the transition!
Thinking of this, I immediately walked to the headquarters in three steps and two steps, and then grabbed Zhao Jingping and asked, "Staff Officer Zhao, your era...... Hmm, do you know something called a snap buckle? ”
"Snap buckle?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but be confused.
All right...... At this time, I don't know if the spring buckle has been invented, even if it is invented...... Reform and opening up was only implemented last year, and it is possible that it has not yet been introduced, so we have to do it ourselves.
Thinking of this, I took a pen and paper in my hand, drew a figure of a snap buckle on the paper, and said as I drew it: "It is better to be made of steel, a little stronger, with a rope attached to the other end, so that it can withstand the weight of a warrior." The structure is very simple, there is an opening here, there is a spring device in it, it opens when you press it, and it will automatically close because of the elastic force of the spring when you let go......"
After finishing the painting, he handed it to Zhao Jingping and asked, "Can you do it?" ”
"What is this talking about?" Zhao Jingping nodded affirmatively: "We can even make planes and cannons, will this thing still be made?" ”
It seems that I am underestimating the military industry of this era...... (To be continued......)
