"Camp Commander Yang, right?" When I was sitting in the jeep, a cadre in charge of receiving me looked through the documents in his hand very coldly, and said without raising his head: "I am the combat staff officer of the 445th Regiment of the 149th Division, my surname is Liu, and my superiors ordered me to be responsible for the combat training of your battalion!" Let me first talk about the rules for combat training, that is, you are not allowed to leave the training base without permission, you must apply for approval for live-fire training, and the training must be carried out in strict accordance with the designated items and procedures......

"Wait!" I said, "Comrade, are you mistaken?" We are not under the command of any troops! ”

Staff Officer Liu flipped through the documents in his hand, and couldn't help but let out an "oh": "...... from Beijing Step School." No wonder! ”

I don't know what he meant, but it was clear that there was some disdain in his tone.

I found out later...... This Staff Officer Liu treats us as if we have just graduated from the infantry school and come to the battlefield to experience life! From this point of view, the superiors did not give Staff Officer Liu much information about our troops...... I think it's also for the sake of confidentiality.

Then Staff Officer Liu stared at the document for a while, glanced at me with an incredulous expression, and then smiled contemptuously and said, "Make every effort to meet the logistical needs of this unit...... Isn't it small? Battalion Commander Yang, do you know that our troops on the front line are still short of medical treatment, and you have just come up and asked us to meet all your logistical requirements! ”

All right...... Now I understand, he is treating our army as a veteran soldier and a relational soldier!

But I don't want to explain more to him, anyway, the donkey is pulled out to slip around, so I don't need to say anything.

The convoy drove along the potholed road for dozens of minutes. Soon transferred to a training base guarded by several sentinels...... Actually, it's the base. There was nothing but a few broken houses and broken tents. The reason why the outside is fenced off is not because of the fear that someone will come in and steal things, but because of the fear that people will be injured by the soldiers' live-fire training if they come in.

But this is normal...... The purpose of the troops here is to adapt to the climate and environment of the battlefield, right? If it's good to eat and live here, then it's still a fart!

So on the first night, we experienced the hardships of going to the battlefield, and we had no place to live, so we had to build our own ...... However, this is still a small point for us, we are not those new recruits who go to the battlefield for the first time, and in addition, we have also undergone systematic training in camping for a few months in Beijing, so each unit consciously takes the southern Vietnamese army as an imaginary enemy, and each of its own artillery, cars, and tanks drives its own troops' artillery, cars, and tanks into the enemy's artillery fire to hide it. Then the open and dark sentinels were arranged, the fortifications were constructed and the fire points were arranged...... After that's done, start setting up your tent.

Of course, if there are mines, they should also be used to block the positions. It's a pity that ...... For the sake of safety on the train, we have not been dispensed ammunition on the road, so we can do more or less of it.

Looking at these methodical movements in our hands, Staff Officer Liu couldn't help but sigh and looked at me with some surprise...... The expression on his face seemed to say: I can't see that there are really two hands.

I just smiled lightly and said to myself...... I'm afraid that even more surprises are still to come, if you know what our army is up for, I'm afraid that it will scare you to death!

But of course I wouldn't have said the purpose of this trip so early for the sake of face...... Joke. If this is to let the Yue devil know, it will be necessary to prepare early? Therefore, except for a limited number of staff officers such as Zhao Jingping and Ding Chengdong, the others don't know anything.

So. The soldiers' acclimatization training actually began the night we arrived at our destination. And what to train and how to recover physical strength after that, I naturally don't need to think about it, and the staff officers will do it for me. Zhao Jingping and I have to care about how to fight that battle in the future!

"The information given by the superior is not detailed enough!" Zhao Jingping looked at the information about Banwang sent to us by Commander Zhang, and said with a frown: "There is only the terrain and landform of Banwang here, as well as the information of the 320th Division and the history of several attacks by our army in the past...... But it did not mark the strongholds that the Vietnamese army had exposed, the areas that could be covered by artillery fire, and so on, and there were some dangers that the superiors did not notice! ”

Of course, Zhao Jingping's worries are right, and anyone who has participated in the battle knows it...... Troops tend to be biased when they report their operations to the top, which is not to say that the soldiers who are fighting the war are not truthful...... Reports and the like are not something that can be controlled by soldiers, and people also have a natural instinct to protect themselves, such as deliberately aggravating the disadvantages of terrain and equipment when defeating a battle to emphasize that their defeat is excusable, and when they win a battle, they will emphasize how heroic they are......

Therefore, it is often impossible to truly understand the battlefield situation by reading reports and materials.

"You can go to the 505 regiment to learn about these!" Ding Chengdong said.

The 505th Regiment is the same regiment currently stationed in the Banwang area to confront the 5th Regiment of the 320th Division of the Vietnamese Army, so of course you have to find them if you want to know about these situations.

"Leave this question to me!" King Chuang volunteered and said: "I am an artillery staff officer, and I am sensitive to some strongholds or targets that can be eliminated with artillery fire, so let me go to the 505th Regiment to communicate with them!" ”

I didn't think much about it and quickly agreed, I am afraid that no one will be more suitable for this task than King Chuang.

Originally, I thought that this task would not be difficult, and I just needed to bring a paperwork and read and memorize it while chatting with the soldiers on the front line, right? But he didn't expect King Chuang to return the next day......

"Battalion commander!" King Chuang embarrassedly reported to me: "The soldiers of the 505th Regiment refuse to speak! ”

“weishenme？” I couldn't help but wonder: "They don't believe in your identity?" ”

"It's not!" King Chuang shook his head: "As soon as I went, I identified myself to the second battalion stationed on the front line, and the commander of the second battalion also called the headquarters to verify, this is not a problem!" ”

"Is that weishenme?"

They said...... Want to know the information...... You have to pay for it! "King Chuang's appearance is like a rooster with a defeated head.

If this is a skill or something, then King Chuang is not afraid of people...... But when it comes to money......

"And there's such a thing!" I couldn't help but scold: "You have to buy money to give some information?" ”

They said...... Smoke is fine, too! "King Chuang's sentence at the end made me cry and laugh.

"Have you looked for their superiors?" I asked.

"Why haven't you looked for it?!" King Chuang said: "I have even looked for the head of the regiment, but the head of the regiment can't do anything about them...... The head of the regiment also said...... These experiences and information were all exchanged for blood and lives by the soldiers, and some of the experience was exchanged for money by a group of troops in Xiangshang, and now the soldiers just want to get some benefits, which is not too ......much."

"What the hell is this!" I couldn't help but be angry and funny at the same time, this war has become a commodity to trade.

"The regiment commander also said......" King Chuang continued: "Those soldiers have all died on the battlefield several times, and it is useless to force them, and they are forced to hurry...... They simply say they don't know, or they give false information...... Who can do anything with them? ”

Although this is not very pleasant, it is reasonable.

And I think I've heard the old man talk about it...... I don't know which group of troops started this kind of atmosphere, but it quickly spread among the troops anyway.

The next group of troops will take over the defense...... Okay, take the position! If you want to know where there are mines or where there are bunkers, I'm sorry, but you'll have to trade things for them.

And it's not okay to give less things to make the original troops unhappy...... For example, the old man encountered such an oolong incident, and the troops in front pointed to a bridge and said: "This bridge is aimed at the enemy's mortars!" Zhu Yuan has already been set up, and he will fight as soon as there is someone, so he must pass quickly with a low posture! ”。

As a result, the old man and his subordinates spent more than half a month on the bridge in a low posture...... Zuihou found out that there was no such thing at all.

And so it gets quite tricky...... The most haode solution seems to be to give money.

So I asked helplessly, "Are they...... How much does it cost? ”

"Not necessarily!" King Chuang replied: "For example, the artillery shooting target Zhuyuan is charged according to a single item, and it also depends on the degree of secrecy and importance of the stronghold!" ”

Exercise! I couldn't help but curse secretly, then the intelligence of the entire region is not an astronomical number? And who can guarantee that this information is true? Under the lure of money...... It is inevitable that some people will make up some information for the sake of profit, so Zuihou is still unclear from true and false!

It is no wonder that in a few years, the army will cut these troops who once shed their blood on the battlefield by one million...... If such a culture is allowed to develop, then the army will still fight a fart battle!

"Otherwise!" I said, "Anyway, now that our troops are still undergoing adaptation training, you should take a few more people to the position to observe and observe!" ”

"Battalion commander!" King Chuang was embarrassed and said, "When we observe...... The more devils don't necessarily shoot guns and cannons, and they can't observe anything! ”

And so it goes...... Unless we can stay here for a few months before we do it, the information we learn will only be the tip of the iceberg.

"So be it!" I said, "Let's go and see if there's another solution tomorrow!" ”

"Hmm!" King Chuang nodded helplessly.

But that's what to say...... But I had no confidence in tomorrow, because I knew very well that the regimental commander was right...... People who fight on the battlefield can be said to have died several times, so as long as they don't want to...... No matter what the order is, the threat...... All to no avail.

I never thought about it...... The first obstacle to this mission was not the enemy, but his comrades. (To be continued......)
