Chapter 93 Provisions
First of all, what I did was to distribute some portable walkie-talkies to the second battalion......
The least important thing on the battlefield is communication equipment, especially multi-arm coordination...... Because this determines whether the various arms of the armed forces can communicate in a timely and smooth manner or effectively share intelligence.
To put it simply...... In fact, all branches of the armed forces rely on communications equipment to form a whole and integrate into a fighting force.
We still have a real headache for this communication device...... The reason is that this portable walkie-talkie is currently only equipped with our synthetic battalion, and other troops, such as the current second battalion, do not have it!
Let's go and adjust it urgently...... One is that the distance is too far away and the time is not allowed...... Even if the equipment arrives and is distributed to the fighters within three days, the training will not be able to proceed properly!
The other is that there is a high risk that the emergency deployment will be exposed...... You must know that this is an extraordinary period, and we are about to go to the battlefield in a few days, so we dare not use any carelessness at this time.
After thinking about it again...... We decided to transfer part of the communications equipment of the troops that had not yet gone to the battlefield to the second battalion!
After all, the second battalion does not need a lot of communication equipment...... For example, there are only two or three soldiers in a company, and these two or three fighters are specially responsible for liaising with the helicopter units and infantry units of our composite battalion...... And then relay it through their own communication devices, such as walkie-talkies, etc.!
This is not efficient, but it is a no-brainer.
This is followed by specific space-step collaborative training......
At this point, things become simpler...... The soldiers of the Secret Service Company showed them a demonstration, then taught them what to do, pointing out their mistakes in the process. Repeat over and over again...... Until they can actually move forward or retreat with helicopter fire, like the Agent Company.
Of course. And that's not all...... For example, there are also helicopters that indicate the direction of the enemy for the infantry. Then seize advantageous terrain under the suppression of helicopter fire, and then blow up pillboxes under the cover of helicopter fire, infantry to indicate targets for helicopters, and so on......
Similar to these, there are some difficult airstep synergies...... We wouldn't have asked the 2nd Battalion to learn it in three days, after all, it was unlikely for us!
The three days of training passed quickly...... On the one hand, I believe that this is a good psychological offensive in the early stage, and on the other hand, the soldiers of the second battalion know very well that this is directly related to their life and death, so they dare not slack off at all!
But I soon learned that there was more to it than that......
"Battalion Commander Yang!" When the second battalion was training with the agents, Battalion Commander Xie and I sat on the stone with us and observed from a distance of more than 100 meters. Idle and bored, he handed me a cigarette. said: "I really want to thank your troops this time, otherwise our battalion will ...... I don't know how many people in Lu Dao will come back alive! ”
"Camp Commander Xie, where are you talking about this!" I said, "That's what we should do...... Besides, we're still a force fighting Fakka Mountain, aren't we? It's good for us to be stronger! ”
Battalion Commander Xie shook his head, sighed and said, "Battalion Commander Yang, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean this!" ”
"Then what are you talking about......" I couldn't help but wonder when I heard this.
"Our troops ......" Battalion Commander Xie said with some hesitation: "The previous morale can be said to be a little chaotic, many soldiers seem to be nothing on the surface, but they are desert......ing in their hearts."
"Hmm!" I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, this is a big problem...... I didn't see it, I thought it was because of the long-term hiding of cat's ear piercing!
"That's the ......," said Battalion Commander Xie, "a new rule from above...... It's just that the warrior can't be promoted! ”
"Is there such a thing?" I couldn't help but be stunned, our synthetic camp didn't hear about it at all.
"Hmm!" Camp Commander Xie nodded: "I also just knew that your synthetic camp is an exception...... Maybe it's because your unit is a special unit! But you also deserve this special treatment! I don't have anything to say about this......"
"Fighters can't be ...... mentioned," I hesitated, and then said, "Isn't that going to discourage fighters to a great extent?!" ”
"That's ......," Battalion Commander Xie replied, "which makes the soldiers feel inferior." We fought and died on the front line, suffered so much and killed so many enemies...... But there was not even the slightest hope of doing it. In other words, no matter how good you are, you will always be a soldier...... What kind of truth is this! ”
"Then this is ......" I also think this regulation is unreasonable, but I know that there is always a reason for this.
"The original intention of the superiors...... It is to improve the cultural quality of the troops! Battalion Commander Xie smiled bitterly: "So it is stipulated that this is a cadre...... It can only be soldiers who have graduated from military schools, but those soldiers ...... Although there is a little bit of culture, the combat experience is completely incomparable to our fighters! Such a whole ...... These soldiers under his command will inevitably start to desert! ”
"Oh!" When I heard this, I understood.
It should be said that superiors also have the truth of superiors...... As a cadre, it is not just a matter of just fighting, such as a company commander and platoon commander...... If you are still illiterate as before, you can't even read a map, or you can't tell the coordinates and can't call for artillery fire......
Speaking of which, it reminds me of an incident that happened during the war of self-defense...... A company commander led his troops to intersperse, and was crushed by Vietnamese fire on the road...... So he shouted at the walkie-talkie: "I need artillery support, I need artillery support!" ”
The artilleryman replied: "Request coordinates, request coordinates!" ”
As a result, the company commander said something that made everyone almost faint: "Coordinates? I know the coordinates of a ball! Can't you hit in the direction of the big sun? ”
So the intention of the superiors to do this...... It was to prevent this from happening again, so the reform began: only those who have studied in military schools can become cadres, and those who have become soldiers want to become cadres...... It's useless to kill more enemies, you have to go to a military academy to study for a few years anyway!
Reform is in the right direction...... But every reform comes with labor pains.
The throes of this reform are...... For the fighters, it can even be said that for the grassroots fighters of the whole country...... It's all a blow to morale.
And the Battle of Mount Faka ...... But it was the beginning of a general blow to the morale of the whole army! (To be continued......)
