Chapter 290 - Operational Arrangements
After Chen Lin left the command tent, he immediately returned to the company's command tent.
All the squad and platoon commanders were already waiting here, and they couldn't wait to surround Chen Lin after seeing him come in.
"Company commander, what kind of mission are we sending in the regiment?"
Chen Lin smiled and gestured at Zhuang Yan, and Xiao Zhuang immediately took out the topographic map of the area and spread it on the table.
The regimental headquarters command tent has a sand table, and his small company-level headquarters is not so extravagant.
Chen Lin picked up the pen and circled a position on the map: "Our dignified armored tank unit is now so passive that it wants to abandon the vehicle to meet the enemy." ”
"Tomorrow the tank cover, the first and third battalions will attack, and the regiment commander is ready to seize this high ground and establish a position as quickly as possible, so as to open the firing range for the heavy artillery of our regiment."
Occupied by heavy armor, it doesn't matter what kind of unit the Blue Army is, if you want to take it back, unless you come to reinforce the four main regiments of the Blue Army, and flatten this high ground with artillery!
The second platoon commander of the infantry platoon asked, "Company commander, what about our mission, do we follow the first battalion and the third battalion together?" ”
The platoon commanders and squad leaders also showed inquiring eyes, listening to what the company commander had just meant, it was obvious that capturing this high ground was the main task, and it was the best choice for meritorious service and meat.
"No, the 702nd Regiment is good at attacking positions, but we are not good at fighting back quickly, and we can't draw it if we work so hard and use people to push the high ground."
Chen Lin did not hesitate to veto the proposal to go with the first and third battalions.
"That'...... So how are we going to fight? ”
Except for Zhuang Yan, several other platoon commanders were a little at a loss.
The tank regiment is to fight in depth and echelon, attack the target at maximum speed, and quickly crush the resistance to win.
The reason why the combat style of the Seventh Steel Company is so fierce is because the 702nd Regiment is a tank regiment, and aggressiveness and in-depth goals are what the 702nd Regiment should do.
As the main regiment of the 84th Group Army, after the reform from semi-mechanization to mechanization, the 702nd Regiment basically fought like this.
Look at the right time, or use the night to raid or carry out camouflage raids, in short, the actions of the tank regiment are "fast" and "fierce".
Suddenly appear on the battlefield and use high mobility to deliver devastating strikes against the enemy's heavily armed infantry, artillery, observation posts, command posts, and other rear services.
Then pursue the defeated enemy, break through the enemy's retreat route, and attack the enemy's rear transportation and facilities.
The necessary condition for the effective use of armored forces is the terrain suitable for their movement and battle, and in today's mountainous terrain, the 702nd Regiment is like a strong man with his hands and feet tied, and he cannot use it.
The slope of the mountain exceeded the maximum elevation angle of the tank, and it was impossible to directly impact the high ground with the tank, so it could only serve as fire cover, allowing the 1st and 3rd battalions to abandon their vehicles to meet the enemy.
This is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with one's own shortcomings.
"They beat theirs, and we beat ours, and each one will not interfere." Chen Lin circled a small circle on the map with a pen: "Third platoon commander, after the exercise starts tomorrow, your armored transport platoon will immediately send the soldiers of the second platoon and the fire support platoon from the direction of 453 to the 036 high ground in the Blue Army Defense Zone. ”
"Yes!" Shi Jin immediately took the order.
Qin Hongzhi, the acting platoon commander of the fire support platoon, was stunned for a moment: "Go to the 036 heights?" Company commander, this is not only far away from the main battlefield, but also not a strategic road, and you can bypass this 036 anywhere next to it, I suspect that the Blue Army will not send people to defend this side, why are we robbing here. ”
"Huh." Chen Lin smiled: "Because this is the highest place in this area, the best view, I will divide half of the individual rockets in the first and second rows to your platoon, if you encounter resistance from the Blue Army on the 036 heights, you will hand it over to Shi Jin and the second platoon, you don't expose your firepower." ”
"Uh...... Be! Qin Hongzhi still didn't understand what the company commander meant, but a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, and he can't stop executing it because he doesn't understand.
"By the way, the three sniper teams of your platoon are left for me, and I still have a use."
"Yes!" Qin Hongzhi replied loudly.
That night, Chen Lin left the regimental headquarters command post with the company's personnel.
Since he was ready to go into battle, he naturally had to go to the front line.
At night, six people in camouflage uniforms came to Chen Lin and reported: "Company commander! ”
Chen Lin glanced at the six people, including Chengcai and Yuan Xiaobao.
They carry bulging backpacks behind them, and many people see on TV that the soldiers inside are fully armed with a large backpack, but they don't know what equipment they are carrying, especially the snipers, who carry the most things in the infantry.
It's like a talent's backpack, carrying a notebook, a pen, alcohol, night vision devices, locators, field medicine kits (wound treatment drugs, bandages), maps, and binoculars.
Communication equipment, camouflage paint, ropes, temperature and humidity meters, water purification tablets, distance cards, data cards, sniper rifle maintenance equipment.
There are even small high-definition cameras, as snipers are often tasked with spotting the enemy.
In addition, there are close-fitting equipment, camouflage suits, camouflage nets, tactical gloves, magazines, flashlights, compasses, watches, drinking bottles, raincoats, daggers, and Type 92 pistols.
Sometimes, depending on the mission, poisons, high-explosive grenades, smoke grenades, stun bombs, and so on.
Cheng Cai now has no less than dozens of kinds of equipment on his body, and counting ammunition, the weight on his body has exceeded forty kilograms.
Chen Lin completely armed the snipers of the fast company according to the equipment configuration of the ostrich when he was in the wolf's tooth.
Many people will wonder why snipers are equipped with pistols instead of a rifle, which is the reason, if you add a rifle, counting the magazine and ammunition, you have to add more than a dozen pounds of weight.
"You three groups, have a good night's rest tonight, and I will arrange for someone to wake you up tomorrow morning, and then immediately go to the designated location to ambush you."
Chen Lin said and pointed out the location they needed to go to on the combat map, the three locations were the territory of the Red Army, according to the plan, they could deploy on their own territory in advance before the battle officially began, but it was absolutely not allowed to appear on the enemy's territory in advance.
"You bring the individual communication equipment, and I will contact you at any time."
"Yes!" The six members of the sniper team replied in unison.
Chengcai was particularly excited, for him, the time for meritorious service had come, if he could kill a person with a relatively high military rank in the locality, maybe he could even mix up a third-class meritorious medal.
"Company commander, are there sure that someone will come to these places you arranged?" Chengcai asked a little worriedly, he didn't want to stay in the sniper position for a day, and as a result, he couldn't see a single figure.
