Chapter 50: Commander of the 391st Regiment

Finally, the day came to walk on the exercise ground......

For the past month, we have been training, training and training in the base!

This can be said to be the most purposeless exercise for us, because we can say that we know nothing about the 391st regiment...... It is not true to say that we know nothing, we can gather some words about the 391st Regiment from the newspapers or reports in the past, but we know that this will not help much...... We are also people who have been in newspapers and made reports, and of course we know that there is too much artistic processing in them, so we can't see anything at all when we look at these newspapers or reports.

When I want to know more about the 391 regiment...... That's how Commander Zhang sued me......

"You're the Blues, playing an imaginary ...... However, the heroic regiment of the 391st Regiment belongs to the secret unit of our army, and the information you can get now is very likely to be the information that the imaginary enemy can get! ”

I was a little speechless when I heard this...... However, the fact seems to be as Commander Zhang said, this does not mean that our army is very well informed or that the intelligence units of the Soviet army are not useful...... In fact, the Soviet KGB's ability to spy on intelligence is completely comparable to that of the US military.

The question is...... As soon as the Soviet army came to this era, they simply looked down on our Tubalu, their main enemy was the United States, and most of their intelligence personnel were also aimed at the United States.

Second, our troops are several million, and even the number of secret units mentioned by Commander Zhang is as many as rice...... Even if the Soviets wanted to inquire, they didn't know which unit to start inquiring about.

Come again...... I think the most important thing is the artistic processing of newspapers and reports...... Soviet intelligence officers saw the newspaper that so-and-so unit was very good, how strong the combat effectiveness was, and so on. Result 1 Exploration ...... I found that it was not the case at all, and after one or two times, I had the psychology of "the wolf came", and in the end, I didn't believe that any army really had as strong combat effectiveness as it was said on the surface!

From this point of view...... Journalists and propagandists in this era are still on the front line of secrecy. And it also made a great contribution to the protection of state secrets!

In light of these considerations...... It's really not appropriate for us to get too much information about the 391st regiment.

However, Commander Zhang added a sentence at the end: "Our troops ...... There are also a considerable number of cadres who have the kind of psychology of reporting good news but not bad news or like to do superficial work, on the other hand...... There are also some people who hope to boost the morale of the whole army...... In short, there are various reasons, we are all Chinese soldiers, and we all hope that our army can win...... So intentionally or unintentionally, he will favor the 391st regiment, which is a point of interest...... Be ye prepared! ”

I understand what Commander Zhang said...... As far as I know, in addition to the original three infantry battalions, the 391st Regiment has at least one artillery battalion, one tank battalion, and two armored companies...... Plus the original cars of the 391 regiment. This is a mechanized unit, with the density of this equipment...... I don't think any of our troops can match it, not even our synthetic battalion...... Our tank troops can barely be regarded as two tank companies!

It's kind of funny to say...... We are playing the role of the Soviet army, which has an absolute advantage in terms of equipment. But there is not as much equipment in reality as in the Red Army!

The only point where the Red Army was at a disadvantage was that they did not have an air force......

It is estimated that the 391st Regiment is not equipped even if it wants to...... It's not that they can't afford to be equipped, although the equipment in our country is not advanced in this era, there are a lot of them. It's a lot of quality that lives up to its name...... So after that, we will learn to be smart in national defense construction. A new weapon is either silently immersed in hard research and not equipped, but equipped...... That must have reached a certain advanced level, which is the road to cost-saving and efficient development!

So it will not be a problem for the 391 to equip two dozen helicopters like us...... The problem is that the 391st Regiment will not be able to integrate these helicopters into their units in a short period of time to exert their due combat effectiveness.

On the other hand...... Everyone knows that our army is too far behind the Soviet army in terms of air force, and the USSR is now equipped with MiG-25 in large quantities, and the Su-27 entered the stage of mass production in 79...... And the main combat aircraft of our army is still the J-6 made in imitation of the Soviet MiG-19 in the fifties......

Air warfare mainly relies on science and technology...... When a fighter with a generation behind the enemy is encountered, there is often a situation where "you can't see, can't catch up, and can't fight...... This is not to say that we can besiege the enemy's dozens of fighters or pilots with more training, more training, and more bravery...... The more high-tech things are, the more difficult it is to close the distance through the training of the personnel, in other words, our fighters can basically only be used as target aircraft for Soviet fighters......

So...... In this case, everyone knows very well that once the war starts...... Air supremacy was definitely in the hands of the USSR. Then the 391st regiment of the Red Army...... I'm embarrassed to equip any more air forces!

At the same time, our training can be said to be the most purposeful......

As Commander Zhang said: "What is the situation of the 391st Regiment that you are in charge of?" You're going to play the Blues, the Soviet devils...... What you should know more about the situation of the Soviet devils! ”

I think it's really ...... when Commander Zhang said this In this exercise, we are no longer a synthetic battalion. Rather, the Soviet army...... We will fight as the Soviets fight!

But then I thought about it very angrily...... Did the Soviets have spy satellites? Do we have all kinds of advanced fighters, reconnaissance planes, and helicopter gunships in the Soviet army? The Soviet army has very complete communication equipment and a complete combat system, do we have it?

But it is obviously useless to think about these questions, and I can only focus on making the Soviet army as much as possible in terms of the equipment I currently have......

The commander of the 391st regiment is called Liu Guoyan...... The first time I met him was at the first exercise meeting, and this time the director team was composed of several senior cadres such as Commander Huang...... This seems to be a bit of a loss of their identity, and the exercise of two battalions and regimental units should be said to be a very common thing now...... Before 79, there were very few such exercises, and more of them were "big competitions" organized by various military districts, and after 79 years...... There are more and more exercises, and the need for actual combat is ...... To go to the battlefield, you have to be serious, and this alone forces the soldiers in the rear to take it seriously!

"Commissar!" Commander Huang looked at Wen Jiàn in his hand and asked an old soldier who was over half a hundred years old beside him, "Look...... Isn't this comparison of forces a bit problematic? ”

The political commissar took Wen Jiàn and looked at it, then turned around and asked Staff Officer Cao: "Staff Officer Cao...... You are a regiment...... It was accompanied by an artillery battalion, a tank battalion, two armored companies, and an engineer battalion...... This ......"

At this time, I learned that Commander Huang and the others did not know about the addition of other arms in the 391st Regiment.

"Commander, political commissar!" Staff Officer Cao replied: "The purpose of our exercise is to simulate a war in which the Soviet devils attack our army's defense line...... The USSR did have many planes, artillery and tanks...... But is it possible that our army will only face this qiē with infantry in actual combat? So we think...... Let our regiment face a composite battalion with tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and helicopters with only infantry? It's not fair to our army! ”

Commander Huang and the political commissar nodded, feeling that Staff Officer Cao was reasonable.

"That's fine!" Commander Huang nodded and said, "Originally, we wanted to see how powerful the Soviet army was on our infantry defense line, and our army's troops are still dominated by infantry...... But now we are also moving in the direction of coordination among all arms, so it's good to do it like this! It's getting more and more like real combat. ”

"Is there no problem with this comparison of forces?" The commissar asked: "It looks like the 391 regiment has the upper hand!" ”

"The troops of our country are already larger than the Soviet army!" Staff Officer Cao replied: "What's more, at this time, the Soviet army still has many troops deep in Afghanistan, and the forces they can put into our direction are also very limited!" Plus in accordance with the theme of the exercise...... Our Red Army is the defender, and the Blue Army is the attacker...... We're going to have a huge area to defend, and the Blues just need to find a breakthrough to attack our defence...... So I think it's normal for the Red Army to have an advantage in numbers! ”

"Hmm!" Commander Huang nodded.

I also have to admit that what Staff Officer Cao said has some truth, and the only problem here is...... On a real battlefield, is there a way for a regiment of our army to be equipped with a tank battalion, an artillery battalion, armored vehicles and other equipment? You must know that at this stage, only one division of our army is equipped with an artillery battalion, not to mention tanks and armored vehicles...... Although the quality of these things is not very useful, they are treated as treasures by various troops, and it is quite good that a regiment can be equipped with a company!

But I didn't say much...... As the commander of the synthetic battalion and the commander of the Blue Army, I am not very suitable for judging the Red Army, which will make people think that I cannot afford to lose......

"Is there a problem with Battalion Commander Yang?" asked Commander Huang.

"No problem!" I replied.

"Of course Camp Commander Yang won't have a problem!" At this time, a serviceman answered: "They have complete air supremacy, they have twenty helicopters...... What else could be wrong with such a big advantage?! ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, so I took a few more looks at this soldier...... saw that his face was fair-skinned but did not lose his masculinity, and he had the style of a Confucian general...... But I don't know why I said such obviously biased words!

"Oh!" Staff Officer Cao introduced beside him: "This is Liu Guoyan, the commander of our 391st Regiment...... This is Yang Xuefeng, the commander of the synthetic battalion! ”

I secretly said to myself, I see...... The commander of the 391st regiment, no wonder he would say such a thing! (To be continued......)
