Chapter 1399 The comprehension of the first battalion commander
The reason why Meng Chuan dared to say this was also because he had some understanding of the terrain of this exercise, because the ultimate goal of this exercise was a no-man's land.
In the no-man's land, local vehicles appear at random, which is definitely the top priority of observation, and Meng Chuan believes that absolutely no one will be stupid enough to use this method to get close to the destination.
The place where they can be opportunistic is the first half of the journey, this training lasted for seven days, the depth reached thousands of miles, spanning four provinces, and they had a total of about 100 instructors, even if you added a few companies of the first special operations battalion, that was less than 1,000 people in total.
With just such a few people, you want to cross four provinces and arrest people thousands of miles along the way? It's just too much effort.
Then why don't you intercept them along the way, set up an ambush in advance on the road you must pass, and ambush them? That not only saves time and effort, but also can achieve the greatest results, so why not?
Deputy Brigade Commander Wang saw that Meng Chuan had an idea, and nodded, "This time, our brigade leaders will watch your battle in the brigade through live broadcast, and I hope that the month-end training of the training team members will let us see a little new things." ”
After hearing Meng Chuan's exposition on this training, the commander of the first battalion was really ashamed and a little embarrassed.
If you follow your own methods to carry out this training exercise, then your own troops will really be exhausted to death.
His opponent is a training team member brought out by Meng Chuan, he has suffered a loss in the hands of Meng Chuan, why don't he have a long memory now?
It seems that it is necessary to re-brainstorm and comprehensively consider the opinions of all the people, and reformulate the training steps in an effort to expand the results of the battle.
On the way back, the commander of the first battalion did not show any frustration at all, but was quite happy.
He has always been eager to change his tactics, but the obsolescence of his thinking and the rigidity of his tactics, as well as the fact that years of peace have not brought more precedents, can only make him cross the river by feeling the stones.
He knew that if the troops wanted to be more combative, they could only streamline their administration, and the synthetic battalion was a typical product of streamlining the administration, and he was equivalent to an infantry regiment, which was condensed into a synthetic battalion.
A series of things such as logistics, maintenance, communications, electronic countermeasures, and joint operations were all pressed on his head, but these things were not comprehensive and precise, and a regular infantry regiment originally had more than 2,000 people, but now it has been reduced by half.
For example, the engineer company of the original infantry regiment has now become an engineer platoon in the logistics company of the composite battalion, and his speed of clearing obstacles cannot be compared with that of the engineer company of the regimental unit.
Originally, it took two hours for the engineer company to plaster a big obstacle, but it turned out that it was the turn of the engineer platoon, and it was not solved in five hours, even if the people in the engineer platoon were veterans, but there were only so many engineering equipment, and the work efficiency must be low.
But he has an advantage, because the troops are small and fine, so the mobility is higher, and the available tactics are much more.
Originally, the motorized infantry company of the infantry regiment needed to maneuver in wheeled trucks, but now it is different, the number of people has decreased and the funds have increased, and now the main company of the composite battalion is riding in amphibious armored vehicles, and in addition to the general elite soldiers, the sophistication of weapons and personnel will inevitably increase the combat effectiveness.
Let's talk about tank companies.
It turns out that a standard tank company has ten tanks, while its main tank company has 14 tanks, don't look at the only four tanks that have been improved, but the combat efficiency has nearly doubled, which is not only a bonus to the number of tanks, but also a bonus to the tank commander.
The original 30 tanks in a tank battalion have now been reduced to 14, and the personnel in these 14 tanks must be elite soldiers, because the incompetent soldiers have been eliminated.
The combat efficiency of veterans is quite high, so the combat effectiveness of the tank company of the composite battalion is really double compared to the previous combat effectiveness of an ordinary tank company.
Although the synthetic battalion after the elite soldiers brought some headaches to the commander of the first battalion, the surprises brought by it continued to continue, which made him understand that the advantages of streamlining the administration of the elite soldiers outweighed the disadvantages.
But there is a bottleneck in this, and he gradually discovered that there is still a gap in the combat effectiveness of the synthetic battalion compared to the original infantry regiment, and even this gap is a chasm.
This is not only a difference in numbers, but also in the number of weapons.
But now after having a meeting with Meng Chuan, he can be regarded as realizing one point, that is, emancipating his mind.
His own synthetic battalion is full of elite soldiers, so why do you still have to lead troops according to the method of the original infantry regiment? Why don't you decentralize your power and let the grassroots leaders better formulate their own tactics?
Since it is an elite soldier, there will be more room to play, and the original rigid tactics will not work now.
Just like Meng Chuan said just now, the training team members may go to the target in a private car.
The idea is very possible, no one has ever said that soldiers cannot travel to their destinations in private cars, but no one dares to think about it.
Even if this matter is put on me, I don't dare to think about it at all, but this also shows from the side that I don't know enough about the elite soldiers, and if I can use the elite soldiers correctly, the combat benefits will be absolutely amazingly terrifying.
And Meng Chuan is a person who knows the elite soldiers quite well, and following him, he can definitely learn a lot after this confrontation and training.
"Director Meng, I want to change my tactics, I plan to send out the Red First Company and the Fire Support Company, and my command will leave a platoon directly under the battalion and a few staff officers."
Meng Chuan is not the leader of the first special operations battalion, and the decisions made by the commander of the first battalion actually have little to do with him, not to mention that the first battalion commander is older than himself, he said that he is cooperating with himself, but in fact, he has no intention of commanding him to do anything.
"First battalion commander, I agree with all your battle plans, you are an old qualification, I believe in your tactical literacy."
Seeing that Meng Chuan did not object, the commander of the first battalion immediately said to the communicator: "Take the call from the battalion chief of staff and ask him to immediately return to the battalion to transfer troops and come to Tepei to gather." ”
Meng Chuan was a little surprised when he heard this, "First battalion commander, there are still three days before the confrontation starts, you don't need to transfer troops over now, even if the confrontation has already started, you can also start directly from the battalion headquarters, there is no need to come to Tepei to gather." ”
The commander of the first battalion gathered and transferred troops, just to let his soldiers understand the atmosphere of Tepei in advance, and he felt that although the atmosphere of Tepei was very serious, it was very lively, everyone loved to use their brains, and they liked to study things first.
His subordinates are all elite soldiers, and he thinks that what his subordinates lack the most is this kind of brain-loving spirit.
Maybe there is no shortage of people who love to use their brains in the soldiers under their hands, but the solidification of the leadership's thinking has caused them to dare not think, this is unacceptable, and they must reverse their thinking, using their brains is not a bad thing, and not using their brains will be a bad thing.
