In the evening, there is an ideological and political class, taught by a middle-aged instructor, who talks about what kind of spirit should be needed when fighting a war, or what kind of slogan or theory, and so on. And he always put the phrase "Marxist philosophy tells us ......" on his lips, which from time to time caused the fighters to snicker below, while the instructors were a little inexplicable and did not know what we were laughing at.

At this time, Marx always blew his beard and glared at the fighters who laughed, and sometimes even he couldn't help laughing.

Of course, I wasn't interested in the content of this lesson, and I used to write notes and make small gestures with Zhang Fan sitting next to me...... There's no way, this step school simply doesn't give us a little bit of separate time, training and classes during the day, and classes at night, and after class, we only have half an hour of free time and then we have to turn off the lights and go to bed, so the time to fall in love with Zhang Fan is only at this time.

And in order to set an example for the soldiers of the whole company, I only had to pretend to take notes very pitifully......

I remember the first time I passed a note to Zhang Fan, it was really boring to listen to the political class that day, so I casually drew a pig's head on the paper, thought about it, and wrote a line of words underneath: "Draw it according to your appearance, it's very similar!" Then he pushed it over.

Zhang Fan took a look and laughed out loud, only to provoke the people around him to look sideways, and even the instructor looked at her a little inexplicably, but I pretended to be irrelevant to myself, so angry that Zhang Fan stepped on me hard under the table.

After a while, when the class resumed again, Zhang Fan handed me the note again. There is an extra line of words on it: "It turns out that what you like is pigs...... Bless you all! ”

All right! It seems that Zhang Fan still has a lot of humor. I thought that the people of this age were all serious!

So the note came and went frequently. The political class in the evening became a heart-to-heart time for me and Zhang Fan.

But tonight I don't have that mind, the instructor is lecturing on top, and I'm flipping through the books below...... This book is "The Basics of Individual Tactics", which was just sent out today.

It should be said...... There is still a lot of useful content in this book, after all, it is the accumulation of the experience of our predecessors, such as the movement techniques summarized here, the way to leap, the method of using concealment, and even the elaboration of jumping into trenches of different heights...... From this, I thought of the various actions of the Vietnamese army on the battlefield, which are exactly the same as those in this book.

It is obvious that the individual tactics of the Vietnamese army are based on the tactics of our army...... And it's no wonder. You must know that when the United States and Vietnam were fighting, the Vietnamese army would undoubtedly favor China over the Soviet Union in terms of tactics.

The reasons for this are very simple: First, China's proximity to Vietnam makes it convenient for a large number of command personnel to enter China for training. Second, many Vietnamese people can communicate in Chinese. Third, because China defeated the U.S. military more than 20 years ago, and it is also completely in a completely weak position like Vietnam, so it has a lot of actual combat experience.

And what about the USSR? Not to mention its geographical location and inconvenient language, the Soviet Union can be said to have never directly fought with the US military, and its equipment is still more advanced than Vietnam's, and Vietnam has no way to learn if it wants to.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Vietnam is our apprentice, but Vietnam has learned these tactics and applied them to the actual battlefield...... And on the battlefield eliminated some outdated or backward tactical ideas. Then he added some tactical ideas based on his own combat experience, so he had the quality of the current Vietnamese army.

It's a natural process. If a unit wants to survive on the battlefield or reduce casualties, it must constantly learn and progress in battle, and only in this way can it make progress on the battlefield. This process...... In fact, it is to remove the dross and extract its essence.

Opposite...... However, our Chinese army has not changed tactically because there has been no war for decades or because the scale of the war is too small. Even because of the 10 years of turmoil, this backward tactic has not been implemented on the soldiers, so there is such a big gap in the quality of Chinese and Vietnamese soldiers.

I threw the book on the table and sighed unconsciously.

At this time, Zhang Fan handed me a note, on which a lot of words were densely written: "Why don't you talk at night?" ", "Read so seriously", "Hey...... Yang Xuefeng! Hate you ......"......

All right! Only then did I realize that I had really snubbed Zhang Fan tonight, but this one was also strange...... If you want to talk to me, just hand me the strip!

Looking at my puzzled expression, Zhang Fan pouted, and quickly wrote on the paper: "Seeing that you look so seriously, I don't want to interrupt you!" Have you read it all? ”

"Oh!" Seeing this, I suddenly realized that Zhang Fan is like this, no matter how anxious he is, he will think about others first.

"Yes!" I wrote on paper: "In addition to those slogans. ”

Zhang Fan looked at me in disbelief and wrote, "That's a one-year study course, and you finished reading it in an hour?" ”

"Huh?" I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thought about it and wrote: "Tactics are to be practiced, and there is not much knowledge on paper!" What's more, we have fought in wars, and we have summed up some experience on the battlefield, so it looks fast! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Fan thought about it, so he didn't feel strange.

Later, I learned that this speed can be said to be supernatural compared with other fighters, one is because many soldiers have difficulties in literacy, and the other is because they have not gone through the systematic study of junior high school, high school, and even university, so this logical thinking ability, analysis ability and imagination ability are naturally poor, so looking at this literal thing, many people just can't understand it, and they have to practice and demonstrate it on the real field a few times before they understand what is going on.

This also made Zhang Fan feel more and more that I was a little different from the people of this era...... Of course, that's another story.

"Looks like my dad still underestimated you!" Zhang Fan wrote such a sentence.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

At this time, Zhang Fan couldn't help but be stunned, as if he realized that he had missed his mouth, shook his head and pretended to listen to the lecture...... So I didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, we entered the individual tactical training under the leadership of Instructor Zhang.

The first thing to practice is sports...... Speaking of which, this instructor really had two strokes, when he showed us a while, he was advancing straight for a while, crawling forward for a while, bending forward for a while, suddenly jumping into the trench again, and then quickly jumping forward dozens of steps......

The soldiers were full of confusion, but I understood it because of last night's theoretical knowledge, Instructor Zhang made various corresponding actions according to different terrains, such as the position of advancing straight is the dead angle of the enemy's fire, bending forward is used to cover the place slightly lower than the human body, and leaping forward is used to quickly pass through the open ground under enemy fire.

All right...... Although we have all fought battles, we basically rely on intuitive judgment on the battlefield, for example, the enemy's bullets in this place will be hit, so we have to move forward in a low posture or pass quickly, and we have never studied it systematically as a science as we do now.

"Have you seen it all?" Instructor Zhang asked loudly when he came back.

"See clearly!" The warriors replied as if they didn't understand.

"Somebody come up and do what I just did!"

A dozen warriors immediately took a step forward, and I only had a wry smile when I saw this...... Among those of us, maybe only Scar and Liang Lianbing can do these tactical moves in place, but they don't make a head bird in order to cooperate with Instructor Zhang, but these soldiers don't know the height of the sky and think it's very simple.

Luckily for me...... These dozen or so soldiers are all recruits who have just joined the second company, which shows that the veterans at least understand something.

So the dozen or so soldiers quickly went up, but before they could do so, there were a lot of problems: some got up too early, some moved too slowly, and I only frowned...... At this time, I couldn't even imagine how we survived on the battlefield.

Looking back, I think maybe it's because the few big battles I've fought have been on the defensive and rarely attacked, and even if there is an attack, it's a surprise attack, just like the battle in the canyon at the pass.

"Any idea what you all have wrong with?" When the dozen or so soldiers came back, Instructor Zhang asked.

A dozen soldiers shook their heads and shook their heads, some even complacent that they had done a good job.

"If it's on the battlefield, you've all already died!"

Instructor Zhang's words immediately provoked a burst of laughter from the soldiers.

So the tactical training was soon carried out under the guidance of Instructor Zhang, and this practice was not only about some movements, but also such as what kind of place is suitable for masking, what kind of actions should be used to cover, how to move positions when being targeted by the enemy, and what kind of reaction is correct when exposed, and so on.

Of course, these tactics are not omnipotent, and even some people can fight well even if they have not learned these tactics, such as the volunteer soldiers back then...... Many of them are learning as they fight on the battlefield, but the process comes at the cost of blood and even their lives. And not everyone has the mental quality or luck to learn these skills before they die.

And these tactical moves...... In fact, it is to let people repeat it over and over again in ordinary training until a conditioned reflex is formed, so that when the soldiers go to the real battlefield one day in the future, even if they are under the enemy's firepower, they will not be frightened or make wrong reactions, but will make correct movements in the shortest time according to what they have learned and practiced in peacetime.

As the saying goes, "sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime"...... It was only then that I really understood the meaning behind this sentence. (To be continued......)
