Chapter 104: Exercise (5)
"Wait!" I said, "Didn't you say that this armored transporter was flawed?" ”
"Flawed indeed!" Ding Chengdong replied: "The main defect is the lack of shock absorption, which makes it difficult for this transport vehicle to advance quickly on rugged mountain roads, and the track is easy to break...... But the open land is flat, so this problem is not a problem. ”
"Isn't that really a problem?" I said, "Can't we turn this open field into a rugged mountain road?" ”
"It was possible!" Zhao Jingping reminded on the side: "But Staff Officer Li also said it just now...... The artillery blocked the 729 heights, otherwise a single artillery fire would have blown up a crater! ”
"The mortar battery can hit it!" King Chuang added: "But the crater from the mortar is too small, I'm afraid it won't work!" ”
"I didn't say shelling!" I said: "I'm talking about anti-tank mines......"
"Anti-tank mines?" The warriors couldn't help but be surprised...... It's okay to delay enemy tanks, but blow up a flat open field into a rugged mountain road......
"Oh!" The first to understand was Zhao Jingping, who nodded slightly and said: "There are two ways to deal with anti-tank mines, one is to rely on sappers to remove them, and the other is to bomb them with artillery!" If there are sappers, exclude it...... This will take a long time, and secondly, we can condescendingly interfere with the fire on the 323 heights, so they should use the second method......"
"Not should, yes!" I said, "Chen Jiahao can't wait to defeat us for a long time, and now that he has a considerable advantage, he will inevitably have the heart to underestimate the enemy." Plus...... If the sappers are eliminated, it will give us more time to prepare. As the saying goes, change comes later. Therefore, Chen Jiahao will inevitably choose to carpet bomb the open land with artillery fire...... This will cause a lot of trouble for the armored transporter! ”
"The battalion commander is right!" King Chuang continued: "This will not only cause trouble for the armored forces of the Red Army, but will also consume the shells and firepower of the Red Army artillery, so that they will not be able to carry out a large-scale artillery bombardment of the 323 heights before the attack!" In this way, our army will be able to lay mines and block the frontal attack of the Red Army......"
"If the Red Army's tank training is not sufficient......," Ding Chengdong added, "or if the Red Army's infantry and tanks are not sufficiently coordinated and connected...... If we do it again...... It is quite possible that they will be separated as they pass through open ground full of craters, so that their tank units will be left alone...... That's when we fight back! ”
"That's right! Just hit it like that! Zhao Jingping said with a smile: "Battalion commander...... You can really do it, and you can easily play this chess game alive! ”
I couldn't help but smile slightly, I should say that this is not a foolproof solution...... Because all this was done in the event that the Red Army units did not coordinate with each other and armored transporters would be limited. However, there is never a reason to win or lose in war, and sometimes you have to try your luck like this.
The most important thing is ...... I believe that with Chen Jiahao's conceit, it is impossible to follow the example of me to train the infantry and the artillery coordination. That's why I would be bold enough to choose this method. It could also be the key to our Zuihou victory.
From this point of view, it is indeed important to know the character of the enemy commander on the battlefield sometimes.
So the staff officers quickly got busy...... After Dafang Xiangshang's tactics are formulated, the next step is the dispatch and coordination of specific arms.
Naturally, I don't need to do this, I just need to look at the battle plan and then nod my head and agree.
So I walked up to Zhang Fan, who was writing something on the table, and whispered, "Don't worry, we won't lose!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Fan nodded, pretending that nothing had happened.
But after a while, he finally couldn't help it, raised his head and sighed and said, "You know what? Actually, I don't think you're going to lose at all, I'm not worried that you're going to lose, I'm worried that you're going to win! ”
"Hmm!" The answer came as a big surprise to me. But after thinking about it, it quickly became clear...... If I lose, it probably means I don't have to go to war. But winning is the opposite.
I nodded in understanding, patted Zhang Fan on the shoulder and walked away.
Whether it is a family or a country, or the choice of the country and the beauty, there will never be the best of both worlds since ancient times.

The exercise began on time the next day, and by 8 o'clock the troops were ready within the "line of our army's defense" a few hundred meters in front of the 323 heights......
In other words, the soldiers really have a little bit of fighting energy for this exercise...... This may be because it was the first company and the engineer company that fought the first battle.
The company was full of new cadets who had never been on the battlefield, and after several months of military training, they just wanted to try their "skills" at this time.
Although the engineer company led by Yang Jie has been on the battlefield, most of the time it is only in the rear to clear mines, or to build bridges and open the way for the troops to follow up in the rear, and it is rare to "fight" on the front line like now.
So all of them were heavily armed and nervous, and some of the fighters even vomited with nervousness...... I and the soldiers of the second company were a little puzzled, and they all smiled and said, "This is not a real war, and there will be no deaths...... What are you afraid of? ”
Actually...... It's just that we didn't think about it from the position of recruits, you must know that some people in our modern college entrance examination will be so nervous that they vomit and dizzy...... It's just an exam, and it won't kill anyone, so why be afraid of being like that? The reason is actually the same, and the so-called concern is chaotic...... Some things are just the more you want to do well, the more nervous you become, and if the fighters are not concerned about the outcome of this exercise and have an attitude of indifference, then they really can't be so nervous.
Therefore, this actually reflects the importance that the soldiers attach to this exercise, and it is also a manifestation of a sense of collective honor, and it is also a determination to defend this composite battalion......
The reason why I say this is because I don't know who leaked the news. Say it if the exercise fails. There is a good chance that the Synthesis Camp will be disbanded...... It's normal for this news to leak out. It is believed that some staff officers have paid enough attention to the soldiers, or hope that the soldiers will rivet their strength to fight this battle...... I deliberately revealed the news, but I didn't expect it to make the fighters a little too nervous.
As the second hand ticked towards eight o'clock, three red flares soon rose in the sky...... The exercise officially began.
"Kill ......," the fighters shouted and rushed towards the 323 position.
This scene made me and the soldiers of the second company who were watching the battle in the "defense line" cry and laugh a little...... There is no "enemy" in these 323 heights, let's just go and occupy the 323 position that is not garrisoned by the Red Army...... So who is this shouting "kill" to kill?
But then I heard Zhao Jingping say that this is necessary...... This is because this shows a kind of mental outlook of the troops, a spirit of daring to fight and fight, and this can be added to the exercise......
Hearing this, I couldn't help but lean in my heart...... Is this a war or an acting? But I believe it's true, because I have a few observers sent by the director's team around me who are watching all this and recording something in the notebook.
This was the time when we had just successfully captured position 323 in a sneak attack. The Red Army also had another hour to organize a counterattack...... This means that we have an hour to prepare, so the fighters can feel free to boldly move on the anticline.
The engineer company and the infantry company were divided into two routes, one for the infantry platoon and two engineer platoons, and their task was to clear the mines on the 323 heights, then the infantry platoon built fortifications on the anti-slope, and the engineer units laid mines on the positive slope. The other way is an engineer platoon plus three infantry platoons (because of the large number of people in a company, there are four platoons with about 40 people in each platoon). Their task was to lay a large number of anti-tank mines in the open field with the cooperation of sappers.
In the 323 side of Xiangshang, at the beginning it was mainly the demining work of sappers...... In fact, during the day, when the line of sight is good and there is no interference from enemy fire, the demining work is not very difficult. After all, the engineer unit still has detonating cords, grenades and the like to blow up one by one, and if you are still worried about mines after exploding, you will not rule out using mine detectors to probe them......
Of course. For the sake of safety, the detonating cord was fired and the grenade was also used to throw the bomb for the exercise, followed by several observers who observed the soldiers' demining actions while waving flags to determine that the minefield had been basically cleared.
In the open area of Fang Xiangshang, the scene was big...... First, a platoon of sappers in front of the open field to detect the presence of mines...... However, there are generally no mines here, so the armored forces of the Red Army are still waiting to use this open space to intersperse, if they lay mines here, don't they make trouble for themselves?
Then the three infantry platoons, with the cooperation of the engineers, began to lay mines...... This mine is a Type 72 anti-tank mine, with both iron and plastic shells, and the plastic shells are naturally designed to not be detected by metal detectors. And that's secondary...... Because of the knowledge of the explosive shock wave demining method used by the sappers, the Type 72 anti-tank mine was designed to be equipped with a repeat pressure fuse......
The so-called double pressure fuse is to blow the fuse with a detonating cord or a blast wave of a shell and it will not explode once it is blown up...... It has to be blown up again. If the tank presses up, it means that the first load wheel is pressed up without detonating, and when the second is pressed, there is a "boom...... Fry right in the middle!
The disadvantage is that it can only be mined manually...... The ability to launch anti-tank mines faster and more often with minelaying vehicles was only available after 81 years, but this disadvantage was not a big problem for us.
First of all, this mine is light...... One is only about thirteen pounds, and the infantry of the three platoons each carries three or four pieces, which is forty or fifty pounds, plus these infantry have been trained in minelaying...... Therefore, under the command and cooperation of the engineers, it only took 10 minutes to bury these 4 to 500 mines.
Of course, these mines are all drill mines, that is, the kind that will only smoke when they are pressed.
In this case, the Red Army will be in trouble...... These hundreds of mines, which were also double-fired anti-tank mines, were buried in one go, and the armored units of the Red Army had to blow up them back and forth with shells several times if they wanted to pass through. (To be continued......)
