Chapter 173: The Battle of Laoshan (7)
Division Commander Jiang's words were a bit heavier, but judging from the plan of this battle, it was worthy of the name. The reason is simple, this battle mainly relied on the superiority of artillery in order to minimize infantry casualties.
But this does not mean that the infantry does not have to do anything, in fact, while the artillery is in full swing of preparations, forty infantry are also making various preparations.
Of course, this also assisted in artillery transport, but this was only done at night by the troops stationed on the high ground on the front line...... In fact, the front-line garrison is not the main force of our army's attack, this is to take into account that the conditions of the front-line troops are very difficult, you must know that the place where they live on the front line is a cat's ear hole, even if the soldiers are strong-willed, in the cat's ear hole that is a yin and tidal environment for a long time without exercise and lack of sleep, in the body and combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
There were even some fighters who stayed in the cat's ear hole for a few months, and when they came down, they were carried down. The fighters laughed and said that the first line is the best place to lose weight, because no matter what kind of fat you look like, you are guaranteed to be as thin as a bamboo pole after a while.
Under such circumstances, the front-line troops are naturally not suitable for the main attack, and their main task is to provide fire support for the main attacking troops, and second, to cooperate with the artillery units, especially the artillery of the cannons, so that they can rely on their familiarity and sensitivity to the enemy's positions to promptly point out to the artillery where there are Vietnamese fortifications or where there may be Vietnamese fortifications.
At this time, the main attacking troops of the second line will naturally have to step up their training.
Moreover, this kind of training has not been done before, because our army is now equipped with improved equipment such as 81 bars, so the soldiers not only have to conduct terrain and tactical training. It is also necessary to conduct extensive familiarization training with combat weapons and equipment. Even the synergy between various new equipment needs to be run-in.
It may seem like a trifle. However, after the equipment innovation, the impact on the entire tactics and actual combat is like dominoes, which affect the whole body.
For example, in the past, our army's individual weapons were the combination of 56 and a half and 56 submachine guns, because there were advantages and disadvantages in range and power between the 56 and a half and 56 punches, so it was natural that the 56 and a half long-range cover and the 56 punch would rush forward...... If the two are reversed, then the range and firepower will not meet the requirements at all.
But now it's all 81 bars...... This kind of firepower with a range of 56 can reach 400 meters and has an intensity of 56 rushes, so the previous tactical tactics are completely overturned, and the infantry is no longer distinguished by weapons to perform different tasks as before (the weapons are all the same, and there is no score if you want to score). Instead, they alternately advance by covering each other in squads, which also simplifies the command of front-line grassroots cadres in a considerable way.
Then there is the increase in the range of the recoilless gun, and the armament of the Type 79 sniper rifle...... Each of these can have a seismic impact on the tactical tactics of the troops, not to mention that all of these equipment have been updated in one go.
To put it simply, it is because of the update of these equipment that the previous tactical tactics have basically to be changed in order to adapt to them. Of course, the only constant in this is the will of the fighters to fight.
Of course, if these preparations were to take place within these three days, it would be too late. In fact, for this battle, the 40th Division can be said to have started intense training a few months ago when it was replaced with new equipment, and the blueprint for their training. It is precisely the experience of our synthetic battalion in actual combat.
From this point of view, Commander Zhang is really scheming, because from these things that I have found now. It seems that they are all connected with our synthetic battalion, and these troops can also form a system with our synthetic battalion, which shows that Commander Zhang has arranged and prepared it early in the morning, and I didn't know until now.
The three days of preparation passed quickly.
On the third night, I believe that many people did not sleep well, even Staff Officer Wei and Staff Officer Lin, but only our synthetic battalion went to bed at eight o'clock on time.
This is a common thing for us, but in the eyes of Staff Officer Wei and Staff Officer Lin, it is unimaginable.
"Battalion commander!" Staff Officer Lin asked me with some doubts about this question: "How can you still sleep?" The soldiers of the other units are busy preparing or writing suicide notes! ”
"Oh!" Without raising my head, I replied casually, "I've fought a lot of battles, and I've become fine." What's more, tomorrow's battle is not a big battle! ”
My answer was so surprised that Staff Officer Lin and Staff Officer Wei opened their mouths wide for a long time, this scale is not called a big battle, so what kind of battle can be called a big battle?!
What Staff Officer Lin and Staff Officer Wei didn't know was that in our definition, it should be a battle in which one of our composite battalions faced several times the enemy's strength on the front line, such as a big battle in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, which was a tank, helicopter and airborne troops.
And like the one in front of me, it's just artillery fighting, and the task of our special agent company and tactical company is even just to protect the artillery sighting radar...... None of this is going to pique the interest of these guys.
Finally, after sorting out all the matters and making sure that there were no mistakes, I closed the text.
After smoking a cigarette, I decided to sleep for a while, after all, there might be a few days of directing work to come.
But I couldn't sleep when I was lying in bed.
The question I'm thinking about isn't the battle that is coming tomorrow...... I believe that with such adequate preparations, and with the absolute superiority of equipment and troops, it is not difficult to take Laoshan, it is only a matter of the number of sacrifices.
And at this time, I still have a mentality, so I think about these issues too much, and now I feel like vomiting when I think of this fight, kill, and kill.
At this time, my mind was full of thoughts, that is, when would I be able to calm down and live for myself for a while.
Remembering that the old man used to live like this, it is no wonder that he was able to persevere while lying in the hospital bed all day long.
In fact, before this, this is a problem that has been bothering me, since I was sensible, I have been thinking, if people live like an old man, they can only continue their lives in the hospital bed without seeing anything, then what is the point of living?!
So I don't understand why the old man is living like this, and he often exudes a full sense of happiness.
But now I suddenly understand that the old man's happiness comes from finally having his own life, and his happiness comes from finally being able to be with his family with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about never seeing his family, and his family doesn't have to worry about him......
Of course, I believe that the old man would not have thought so when he faced me as a loser. (To be continued......)
