Chapter 64: Rivalry
Ten days at the exercise ground...... To be honest, the harvest is not very big for our synthesis camp!
The reason is that although the 391st Regiment is a heroic regiment, its tactics are still old-fashioned...... In addition to being more fully trained than other troops, they still adhere to the principle of "not fearing sacrifice and striving for victory" ideologically...... It can even be said that as a company of heroes, this kind of thinking is more determined and deep-rooted than ordinary troops!
Therefore, they also pay attention to group charging in offensive tactics......
For this reason, Liu Guoyan also argued with me several times...... There is no doubt that on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the soldiers of the Chinese Volunteers used this tactic of group charge to defeat US imperialism with aircraft and artillery...... The volunteer soldiers of the past could, and we can also defeat the Soviet devils in this way today!
I can understand this kind of thinking about him...... The education he received since he was a child was the same as during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and there are quite a few things in it that are effective.
But...... He did not take into account that on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the reason why the volunteers wanted to use a group charge was really a helpless move...... Long-range weapons cannot be compared with the Yankees, not only are aircraft and artillery unable to compare with the US military, but even the firepower of rifles, machine guns, and mortars is far inferior to that of the US military......
In this case, it is obvious that the two armies of the US military will suffer a loss if they shoot at each other, and this will only be a result...... That is, under the powerful firepower of the US military, there were heavy casualties.
The only way to do this is to combine defense with a group charge...... That is, if it is far away, let's use the tunnel to defend ...... It's about protecting yourself. Let the Yankees be invisible and unfought. It's closer...... Let's launch a group-style charge against the Yankees...... And this group charge is also exquisite. People should not be too dense and not too thin, if they are dense, they will be killed and injured by a large number of US troops, and the insufficient firepower per unit area can have an impact on the US defense line...... For example, using a row of grenades to blow up a cloud of smoke and then rushing forward is the housekeeping skill of the volunteer soldiers!
With such a rush, he was wrenched with the US military in hand-to-hand combat...... Hand-to-hand combat is the real purpose of the volunteers, because in this way, the US military can only stare dryly even if it has a powerful air force and artillery...... At this time, the volunteers were already mixed with the US army, the air force and artillery could not fight, and the Yankees did not have much enthusiasm to fight on the Korean battlefield...... They generally believe that there is no need to sacrifice their lives for other countries, that is, South Korea, on the contrary, the volunteers carry forward the spirit of "not being afraid of sacrifice" as soon as they start a war. So the contrast between this coming and going is great...... Don't look at the Yankees, who are tall and big, and the volunteers are all skinny, but our volunteers are stunned to be able to fight a few in hand-to-hand combat!
But is this tactic still applicable on the battlefield today?
First of all, the individual equipment of our army is no longer the kind of bolt-type rifle used by the volunteer army...... The Volunteers originally used weapons made by all countries on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, most of which were captured from the Japanese army, and then replaced with old rifles retired by the Soviet Army, Mosin Nagant...... The 56 and a half plus 56 punches used by our army at this time are not very good, although the firepower is not good...... But there was no need for a group charge like the Volunteer Army.
The second is that most of the volunteers are veterans...... A considerable number of them have experienced the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and then fought the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War, and one fight is more than ten years, and the long-term war has long made them highly coordinated on the battlefield to the point of being free to retract and release...... But what about our current troops? Those who have not fought in decades have carried more hoes than guns, and those who have not held a gun before going to war...... Such a unit also wants to fight the situation of the Volunteer Army? I'm afraid it's too difficult!
However, even if staying at the exercise ground doesn't help the Synthetic Battalion much, I'm willing to let the Synthetic Battalion stay here for a few more days. The reason is that the fighters of the synthetic battalion here can feel an unprecedented sense of pride......
This pride is different from the pride in front of the people, and it is also different from the pride from the family...... We are protecting our loved ones and protecting our families. The people and their families also praised us...... However, the people and their families do not understand and do not know what kind of height we are...... In the eyes of the people and their families, the military seems to be the same...... It is to take a gun to the battlefield and shed blood and sacrifice!
To put it simply...... This sense of pride from the people and their families does not distinguish us from other forces.
But now the communication with the 391 regiment is different...... You must know that the 391st Regiment is a well-known hero regiment, but it is such a heroic regiment...... However, they were defeated by our synthetic battalion in the exercise, and now they are even more low-profile to learn from us...... What's more, in the process of exchange and learning, the soldiers of the 391st Regiment suddenly discovered that they were not only in the quality of individual soldiers, but also in the tactics of squads and platoons, as well as the coordination of various arms...... The gap with the fighters of the synthetic battalion is not a point or two......
That is, in this process of the 391st regiment recognizing its own inadequacy...... The soldiers of the Synthetic Battalion also get a sense of pride in comparing their friendly units to a heroic regiment!
Don't underestimate this bit of pride...... In fact, this is what we are soldiers for...... Otherwise, the subsidy of 10 yuan per month may be a few ideological mobilizations...... Why can we go to the battlefield to fight to the death?!
This exchange and study did not gain much from our synthetic battalion, but it was another matter for the 391st regiment...... Our synthetic battalion's tactics, coordination experience, and sniper experience...... Among them, especially the sniper experience, it is simply worshiped by the soldiers of the 391st regiment, especially the sharpshooters!
If only I had to say that...... The most useful thing for the 391st Regiment here should be the synergy experience...... This synergy experience includes synergy within the infantry as well as between arms...... But then again, these synergies are not something that can be learned in a while, which requires a lot of combination of theory and practice, and after a lot of collaborative training, combat effectiveness can be formed!
But the fighters of the 391st Regiment could not have imagined this...... The reason why they will target the sniper experience of our army's sniper company...... Simply because they don't realize the importance of synergy on the battlefield!
But their sense of battle is very strong, and our troops have a natural reverence for sharpshooters...... This habit may have been cultivated from our army or the Tubalu, when our army was under difficult conditions and the battlefield resources were extremely scarce, so we paid attention to destroying an enemy with every bullet...... And to get to the point where every bullet can destroy an enemy, naturally only a sharpshooter can do it...... As a result, characters like Li Xiangyang, who had two guns, were widely spread among the military and civilians at that time!
Influenced by this psychology...... The soldiers of the 391st Regiment naturally set their sights on the sniper company......
This time the sniper company is very popular, every soldier is surrounded by dozens of soldiers of the 391st Regiment to ask this and that, and from time to time there will be soldiers who ask them to shoot a few shots for them to see......
It is important to know that although the soldiers of the 391st Regiment also have sharpshooters, that is, the so-called special marksmen in the army...... But these top shooters are usually trained in 56 and a half, and their range is only 400 meters...... Being able to accurately hit a target at a distance of 400 meters is considered quite good. The 391st Regiment is a heroic regiment, and it is true that several SVD sniper rifles were captured on the battlefield in Vietnam, and the superiors did not take them back...... But they have not been systematically trained at all, and the sniper rifle is also used as a 56 and a half in their hands, which has been systematically studied with our sniper company to stealth, lurk, escape and the calculation of offset, etc......
As a result, the fighters of the sniper company talked one thing at a time, and they did not like it, and they conducted several small-scale confrontation exercises...... The so-called confrontation exercise, that is, the snipers of our battalion had a confrontation with a few special shooters of the 391st Regiment who were still a little unconvinced...... Needless to say, the snipers who have undergone professional and systematic training will naturally beat the top shooters to the ground, one time, twice, three times...... In the end, he completely subdued those top marksmen, so that the soldiers of the 391st Regiment regarded the soldiers of the sniper company as gods......
This time Liu Guoyan was shocked again, just like he sighed in front of me: "Battalion Commander Yang...... You snipers...... Take just two of them out and be one in the other troops...... And you have so many ......"
"Huh!" I pretended to be relaxed and replied, "That's all their practice......"
When I said this, Liu Guoyan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time...... It's all at this level or practicing blindly, so if you really practice, you have to practice?!
I feel funny when I look at Liu Guoyan...... People in this era don't know how to talk about scenes, so I will take the opportunity to tease him!
Of course, there are also some fighters who are interested in our special agent company...... In fact, this exercise ...... Liu Guoyan was convinced by me, but the soldiers under him may not be convinced...... This time, we had a secret competition through exchange and learning......
This is not as good as a sniper company than marksmanship, and it is more physical and tactical than armed swimming...... There are thousands of people in our 391st Regiment, and there is always one that can compare to the synthetic battalion if there are a few top-notch ones!
But this comparison...... It made the soldiers of the 391st regiment completely speechless!
In the words of the fighters of the 391st Regiment, it is: "Where those guys in the synthetic battalion are people, they are all beasts!" Swimming is like running, running is like flying...... We're only going to follow behind the ass! (To be continued......)
