Chapter 51: Exercises

"Hello Battalion Commander Yang!" Head Liu took the initiative to come forward and hold my hand with a smiling face and said, "I have admired the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet it!" ”

"Captain Liu is polite!" I was quite surprised at this time, I always thought that the commander of a heroic regiment like the 391st Regiment should be a strong one, such as a scar on the battlefield or a battle-tested soldier like Liang Lian, but now it seems that ...... This head Liu seems to have been hiding in the office for a long time......

Although there are many regiment commanders who have been hiding in the office for a long time, as the head of the hero regiment, he is also the commander of the hero regiment who has made many meritorious contributions on the battlefield...... That's not much.

The reason for this goes without saying...... One is because the reputation of the hero group must be maintained, and it cannot be casually let a person who has no ability to take the position. The other is because this regiment commander does not have two brushes...... That can't stop your soldiers!

In other words...... It's the head of Liu in front of me, there should be two brushes!

I later found out that it turned out to be exactly what I thought it was...... Like me, Commander Liu was born into a military family, his grandfather grew up in the generation that fought in Little Japan, and his father fought against the United Nations forces led by the United States during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea...... Especially Liu Guoyan's father, he fought from a small soldier to the regiment commander on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea...... He has rich practical experience and experience in defeating the strong with the weak...... After Liu Guoyan became an adult...... His father asked Liu Guoyan to serve as a soldier in his own army, and he educated him according to his tactical experience in the era of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea...... As a result, a cadre who has not gone through several actual battles has been trained, but has quite a lot of actual combat experience!

This is also the reason why Liu Guoyan was able to lead the troops to perform well on the battlefield of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam...... In some ways. There are still many places in the Vietnam battlefield that are similar to the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, such as the same mountainous terrain, jungles and other miscellaneous terrain, as well as various tunnels and so on.

Later, I learned that Liu Guoyan learned more than just that from his father......

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Liu Guoyan smiled and said, "I have admired your name for a long time. I just didn't expect it...... Today, I met as an 'enemy'! ”

With a "coax", the surrounding cadres all laughed heartily when they heard the words.

"You two 'enemies' have to do a good job!" Commander Huang said: "Only in this way can we find out the problems between each other!" ”

"Where, where!" Liu Guoyan hurriedly replied: "How dare I make a move with Camp Commander Yang...... Battalion Commander Yang's troops are the elite selected from various units, and they have been on the battlefield for a long time, not just fighting the devils...... I also went to Afghanistan to fight the Soviet devils! Such troops...... Our 391st regiment is just a sparring partner! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly say a terrible ...... This Liu Guoyan is hiding a knife in his smile, he is praising me on the surface, but in fact, he is ...... Now lift me up and wait until the drill is over...... If you lose. Then he is a matter of course, and it is not surprising that he loses when he fights with such an elite unit as the synthetic battalion. If you win...... Then he's cool. Look at...... The elite troops are nothing more than that, nothing under our 391st regiment!

And this on the other hand...... It further dispelled the doubts of Commander Huang and the political commissar that the comparison of forces was unfair...... The synthetic battalion is a unit selected from various units, so isn't it normal for the 391st regiment to have more troops?

"Captain Liu!" Thinking of this, I responded: "You represent the Red Army...... Do you mean ...... by that?"

I'm not going to talk about that...... You must know that although that period has passed, the ideological and political struggle still exists. So when he heard this, Liu Guoyan couldn't help but be stunned. Then he smiled awkwardly and explained, "Where, where...... Joking, joking......"

Commander Huang saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he came out to play a round and said, "Don't be modest...... Both of them are tigers of our army, and you can learn slowly when there is time in the future, but now you have to be the 'enemy' first! ”

There was another burst of laughter around me, which slightly diluted the smell of gunpowder between me and Liu Guoyan.

"Here's the thing!" Commander Huang continued: "This is how we conducted this exercise...... The Red Army built fortifications to the south of the exercise ground and arranged firepower...... The aim was to keep the Blues out of the defensive line, to save time and the authenticity of the exercise...... We have already built fortifications on the exercise ground according to the map of the Red side in advance. The purpose of the blue side is to break through the red defenses, and the remaining forces must also have a certain combat effectiveness...... It's useless to just break through the defenses. If there is no living force, then it will not be able to do us much harm! Questions? ”

"No problem!" Head Liu and I immediately stepped forward to answer.

Although this may seem a little unfair on the surface...... The red side was one step ahead of the curve and mastered the terrain of the exercise ground. Fortifications were even erected on the exercise ground in advance...... But that's the reality......

The war we might be facing...... That is, the war on the Sino-Soviet border, it is very likely that the Chinese side has time to prepare, has time to familiarize itself with the terrain, and has time to build fortifications...... And the Soviets only decided whether to attack, or when and how!

Then we discussed some details and set the time for the exercise...... That's the end of the meeting!

After the meeting, Commander Huang pulled me aside and said, "Comrade Yang Xuefeng...... The arrangement of this exercise is indeed a little unfair to your synthetic battalion, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and it is rare that you do not have any negative feelings about it! ”

"Commander Huang!" I couldn't help but ask, "Why do you ...... when you know it's not fair to us?"

"That's right......," Commander Huang replied, "I actually think the same as Commander Zhang...... There are many people in the army who have some unrealistic illusions, and this should be said to be related to your appearance in Afghanistan...... This made a considerable number of people think that we can resist the attack of the Soviet army and keep the enemy out of the country, and Regiment Commander Liu is one of them......"

After a pause, Commander Huang continued: "Commander Liu is a good comrade...... His various abilities are still quite good, but it is because of some skills and his repeated exploits on the battlefield...... That's why there is the idea of pride and contempt for the enemy! I chose to do it...... One is to hope that you can break this illusion, and the other is to let you frustrate the spirit of Captain Liu! ”

I couldn't help but sweat when I heard this...... Commander Huang, this is too much to think of me! (To be continued......)
