Chapter 304 Arrange training subjects, let’s avoid the limelight first
When they first came into contact with training, Chen Jun did not intend to set too difficult subjects for them. After all, collaborative operations require a process of getting used to.
While several companies were listening to the company commander's passionate lecture, Chen Jun held a hand-drawn map in his hand and quickly climbed onto the front of a nearby truck.
Use a hand-drawn map to mark the training ground, and divide the hillsides of the artillery range into three highlands from north to south along the vertical line.
They are 174 Highlands, 208 Highlands and 183 Highlands respectively.
On the map, Chen Jun used different lines to outline all the enemy's defenses around these highlands, and designed a long barbed wire fence on the right side of the position.
An unknown number of mixed minefields with tanks and tanks were arranged outside the barbed wire fence.
After finishing the painting.
Chen Jun compared the terrain around the training ground again.
This training ground was originally built according to the design drawing he drew, so no one is more familiar with it than him.
The three terrains other than the simulated enemy highlands can also be based on the actual terrain, and Chen Jun did not draw them on the map.
There is basically no need to draw. The enemies on the three highlands have all set up preset positions, which proves that this is a place that must be defended. It cannot be bypassed and must be attacked head-on.
The training map is ready.
Chen Jun checked again. After finding nothing wrong, he squatted down, jumped off the front of the truck with his hands on the iron sheet, and clapped his hands.
At this time, the companies that had just met also disbanded.
This was the first time I encountered several companies practicing together, and several company commanders were a little confused.
Even though Chen Jun had mentioned the training outline at the meeting before.
Different collaborative training venues will lead to different adjustments in column marching, evacuation, fire preparation, formation assault, etc.
Each company is new to it, and now we have to compare it with the actual site, so it’s normal to be confused.
Chen Jun looked at the cadres in the distance, who were all standing and observing the terrain of the training ground. There was no training arranged. He waved and said loudly: "Every cadre from each company, come here."
"Bring over a conference board. If you don't have a conference board, you can just grab a few magnets."
Chen Jun said as he handed the map to Staff Officer Liang next to him. Don't look at them all gathered at the training ground. The things that should be there are also quite complete.
The soldiers in charge of logistics quickly lifted a whiteboard for meetings from a truck in the distance.
Liang Kexiang took the map hand-drawn by Chen Jun and used magnets to fix the four corners of the map.
Chen Jun used to be a soldier. He had never served as an officer, and he had never held many meetings. He had little practice in writing on the whiteboard, and his writing was far less beautiful than writing with a pen. It was even ugly.
But when it comes to hand-drawn map skills, Chen Jun, who was born in Longya, has basic skills in hand-drawn maps.
When several company commanders and platoon commanders came to gather in front of the whiteboard, they were shocked when they saw various fortification markings on the map in front of them.
The eyes he looked at Chen Jun were more awed than usual.
After all, this is a real display of commanding talents. Deputy Chen often talked about synthetic tactics before, but that was just relying on his words, which was far inferior to what a pair of professional hand-drawn drawings could bring to them. It feels more shocking.
As for the highland numbers 174, 208, 183, etc., in actual combat, the highland numbers are named according to the altitude.
Now that the high ground is simulated on the training ground, there is no need to worry about this.
Seeing all the cadres of each company gathered together, their eyes were attracted to the map, and both the company battalion commander and the instructor could not help but run over.
Chen Jun stood aside and did not speak immediately.
Because the combat map he drew was the type of map that the entire battalion came into contact with most frequently after the reconnaissance company was fully informed.
Batalion-level drones and thermal cameras can directly detect most metal mines, so there is no harm in getting familiar with them in advance.
Wait until everyone has seen it.
Chen Jun then walked up to the whiteboard and took a baton from Staff Officer Liang. It was said to be a baton, but it was actually a slender branch.
Having this thing instead of fingers can prevent Chen Jun from standing too close to the map and blocking the sight of other cadres.
Chen Jun stroked the stick in his hand, and then said loudly: "Comrades, today is the formal training day of our first battalion."
"Next, I will explain some things to you. The most basic content when training a synthetic unit.”
"Of course, since we have just started, what I will explain to you later does not require you to master it in a short time. In the early stage, you will mainly focus on driving tanks and getting familiar with them."
"But if you are familiar with these tanks, If there is no artillery fire or maintenance, half a day is enough."
"You can negotiate these things yourself and control the progress."
"The staff will do statistical work at any time. Communicate more with the soldiers and study and solve problems as soon as possible. If they cannot be solved, don’t delay.”
“Report to me as soon as possible.”
As he spoke, Chen Jun turned sideways, picked up the stick and pointed at the map: "This is the enemy highland fire defense map I drew temporarily."
"The initial training will be based on this defense map to practice the coordination of the whole battalion. "Combat."
"In the picture, there are 174, 208, and 183 from north to south. These three highlands have been occupied by the enemy and have built key points. There is a barbed wire fence on the right side of the position, and an unknown number of "Comrades, if this map is the firepower defense provided by the reconnaissance company, and we are ordered to remove these three highlands immediately, then with our existing firepower. , how to fight?”
“Who can do it?”
Chen Jun's questioning voice fell, and the dozens of cadres standing at the scene looked at each other, and they all remained silent.
What does the First Battalion currently have?
An armored company, a two-in-one tank company, a logistics support company, and an artillery company.
According to the obvious enemy firepower deployment on the map, there are minefields, artillery arrays, and obvious barbed wire to intercept infantry.
No matter which unit wants to rush forward, it is not easy.
Tank company commander He Yingtao stared at the map with twinkling eyes, and then opened his mouth.
But in the end he did not dare to say anything. The tank company he led had the strongest frontal firepower at present, and the 28 main battle tanks were his confidence.
But the problem is that the enemy is not a puppet. It is easy to remove a high ground, but the fear is that the enemy can counterattack at any time.
Once the enemy counterattacks during the attack on the high ground, the tank company will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Because the tank is a combat assault force, it is best to use it concentratedly and focus on the assault. If it is a purely defensive battle when the enemy counterattacks, it will be a living target.
To put it mildly, no matter how tough your tank is, if you receive a 155mm grenade in front of it, regardless of whether it is an M1A2 or a 99A, it will have to be rebuilt.
The enemy's position has an entire artillery array, and more than 20 tanks rush up to it. It's like a meat bun beating a dog. It just goes away without ever coming back.
Although He Yingtao was a motorcycle company commander before and did not have much experience leading a tank company, he was good at learning.
Don't look at people who are fat, those who are fat are the best. He himself thinks that using tanks to fight positional defense is the stupidest tactic he can think of.
So, Lao He opened his mouth without saying anything, and finally took two steps back and ran to stand behind all the cadres attending the class, not intending to say anything.
Armored company commander Ma Hongjie, the oldest veteran in the battalion, did not say anything. He had no good way to capture such high ground.
To put it nicely, the infantry fighting vehicle is an armored fighting vehicle, but to put it worse, it is an upgraded version of an armed truck.
The same goes for 04A infantry combat. This is a problem of tank positioning. It usually transports armor and is known as a battlefield taxi. When it is needed, it is everywhere. When it is not needed, it does not exist everywhere.
He had no better solution in this situation.
As for the artillery battery commander Guo Yabin, he raised his head and said nothing. The artillery battery had firepower, but the enemy had three highlands. One artillery battery could at most hold back the artillery array on the highlands. The two sides were bombarding each other. .
The rest have no energy left to capture the high ground.
The whole battalion of cadres faced a map, and no one said a word. It does not mean that they are not capable or good at their work.
The most important reason lies in the map hand-drawn by Chen Jun. The enemy's firepower cannot be taken down by a single company.
Not to mention a company, even an infantry regiment would be free of charge.
This is an enemy defense map drawn based on the firepower distribution situation common in later generations for combined battalion operations.
In a single company, whoever joins the team will lie down, without exception.
Seeing that no one was saying anything at the scene, Chen Jun looked at the soldiers of each company in the distance and saw that some people were already looking this way.
Chen Jun simply raised the wooden stick and knocked on the whiteboard, signaling for everyone to focus their attention, and then said: "Okay, if you don't want to talk, then I will explain my ideas."
"In the next few days, we will use my idea to extend training and coordinate operations."
"I think you have all weighed it just now. When attacking such enemy high ground, a single company rushes up to attack. Nothing better.”
"At this time, we need a beautiful infantry-tank collaboration. First, look at the firepower layout on the map. You have to use artillery to kill him first. Artillery is the god of war, but tanks are not."
"As for Some people ask why we use artillery to attack him. It is because they have a mixed minefield with infantry and tanks. Tanks are really powerful in frontal charges, but there are also many things to be afraid of, such as anti-tank mines. ""When our artillery is suppressing the enemy. When the military firepower comes, the engineers will rush up to clear the mines. In our military terminology, that is to open a channel. "
"So, we use artillery to kill him first, and the artillery is ruthless. When a heavy blow is struck, the enemy troops will usually hide in the trenches and not come out."
"Taking advantage of this gap, the minesweeper can open a channel at the rear as quickly as possible, but a new problem arises. ”
"On the battlefield, even the time that artillery can buy for us will be very limited. The channel opened by the minesweeper in a short time will generally be very narrow."
"Because in an extremely limited time , our artillery took the lead in launching the attack. Before the enemy artillery could react, the engineers could only create a very narrow passage. Before the enemy's artillery fire could react, they had to retreat quickly."
"At this time, our artillery must switch to artillery confrontation, that is, the artillery array fights the artillery array, trying to suppress the enemy's artillery fire and create conditions for our tank assault."
"Otherwise, the tanks will rush up. Facing bundles of 155mm grenades, the artillery had no time to deal with the enemy's position. "
"Then the tank company should go up."
Hearing Chen Jun mention the tank company, He Yingtao, who had been hiding behind the crowd just now, straightened his back and stood in front again.
Chen Jun glanced at him and said nothing, but continued to point at the map and analyze: "At this time, tank assaults must also be skillful."
"If you combine tanks and infantry, Or put the infantry and infantry into an echelon and send them up. That is the stupidest tactic."
"Because time is what matters on the battlefield. If the infantry cannot keep up with the tanks, they will be exposed. It is easy to be shot and slow down the assault speed."
"If we use infantry fighting vehicles to charge with infantry, the armor protection of our 04A infantry fighting vehicles is far less than that of tanks, and the channels opened in the minefield are very narrow. , in case the tank is destroyed in the passage."
"What about the tanks behind? Are they going to be attacked by anti-tank missiles?"
"At this time, we need to use firepower dispersion."
"We concentrate the main force of the assault, that is, Tanks should be concentrated in the front passage, and try to send a few more tanks through the passage in the shortest possible time."
"Once they have passed the minefield, they will quickly launch an attack on Highland 208, while fighting with a small number of infantry. The vehicles follow through the passage, but remember, in similar battlefield situations, do not mix infantry fighting vehicles with tanks. "
"When tanks assault, infantry fighting vehicles only need to clear up scattered ones in the rear. Just the enemy.”
"The other part of the infantry fighting vehicles will have to bypass the mixed infantry and tank minefield to attack Highland 174. After the tanks successfully assaulted Highland 208, they dropped the following infantry fighting vehicles to defend Highland 208. The tanks turned their heads and followed the battle line. Fight."
"Cooperate with the infantry tanks to complete the occupation of Highland 174."
"Maybe you are all confused at this time. Highland 208 and Highland 174 have already been conquered. What to do with the southernmost Highland 183? "
As Chen Jun asked, the wooden stick in his hand pointed at the bottom of the map.
“Normally, on a real battlefield, when a point battle reaches this level, the last high ground will be left here. This high ground can be used to encircle the point and provide reinforcements.”
"If the war gets tight and you need support from the front, or if you have a bad temper and insist on taking down this high ground, that's easy to handle."
"Highland 208 is already in our hands, and we will mobilize it from the position later. Just mobilize your troops and continue attacking the last position."
"Do you understand?"
" >In the training ground, a group of cadres listening to the class responded in unison
There is indeed nothing they don't understand. This kind of enemy firepower arrangement is really not feasible if a separate company is arranged to fight.
But if Chen Jun said this, it seems that this battle is much simpler. This is coordination, and it is also the most basic arrangement for the combined battalion's operations.
Of course, this is just the direction that the current battalion needs to work towards, and the actual establishment of the pilot battalion will be completed.
If you have all the firepower, who will talk to the enemy about intersecting tanks and coordinating front and rear?
As long as the enemy's firepower is detected, a burst of electromagnetic interference bombs will wash the ground, destroying the enemy's radar and paralyzing communications.
The minesweeper truck swung its fire chain to clear the minefield, which was enough to eat up all the enemy firepower on the three highlands in half an hour.
The firepower of the pilot camp is fully trained, let alone the three highlands.
Chen Jun is confident that he can kill all the remaining firepower units of the 179th Brigade within two hours on the frontal battlefield.
This is the power of synthesis.
However, it is also related to the dimensionality reduction strike. In terms of firepower and tactics, synthetic units are indeed better than motorized infantry units, including brigade-level motorized infantry units.
I watched a group of cadres whisper excitedly after hearing the arrangements for coordinated operations.
Chen Jun smiled and coughed: "Okay, I've given you the most basic idea of coordination. Let's first practice the soldiers' familiarity with tanks, especially the infantry detachments, which have not been exposed to much before. "Tanks."
"As far as possible, while ensuring absolute safety, let the soldiers practice their courage at close range with the tanks. Don't be anxious for a while. You must also learn to think and face different battlefields. Different terrain."
"How to deploy this tactic?"
"In a few days, I will go to the brigade to apply for the transfer of the second battalion, the third battalion, and the tank battalion to cooperate with our training. Have a confrontation.”
"Disband, let's make arrangements first."
"Yes."
After Chen Jun announced the dissolution, several companies notified the squad leaders again, and the key personnel discussed or explained the content of the meeting just now .
Start preparing for the next training schedule.
However, these have nothing to do with Chen Jun. He is only responsible for providing training ideas.
. . . . . . . . .
The next few days.
Chen Jun is not as busy as before, because the training in the camp has begun. He is familiar with how to train in the synthetic camp and what kind of firepower he will have after the training is effective.
So, after the pilot camp was partially established, he just gave instructions and stood at the training ground every day to watch each company train.
In the past, he specifically told the cadres that he would go to other battalions to recruit backbones. Before the training started, except when there was no other way because he had to retire, other battalions came over to exchange some backbones.
Not many people actually tried to pull him over.
Chen Jun knew this situation, but he did not urge it, let alone supervise it. The lack of backbones was not in the early stages of establishment.
That was just the preparatory stage. After the training actually started, each company knew how painful it was without professional backbone personnel.
No, in the past few days, I have seen the artillery battery training in full swing. The daily training on artillery operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and other skills training is in full swing.
We have even begun to train professional backbones in the company ourselves.
The other three company commanders finally became anxious.
There is no comparison. The artillery company commander is not from the first battalion. He is originally the company commander transferred from the long-range artillery battalion of the artillery brigade. Although this person was transferred here.
But the original unit gave me face. If I needed the backbone, I would transfer the backbone. If I needed the skills, I would give them to the technicians.
Chen Jun didn't have to worry about it. The artillery battery was basically all in order in just one week.
This made the three of them, He Yingtao, commander of the tank company, Ma Hongjie, commander of the armor company, and Qi Shaoxiang, commander of the logistics support company, extremely anxious.
Good guy, why don't you spend the whole day hanging around the battalion commander Zhao Ziheng, asking the battalion commander to borrow people?
I just pulled out a cigarette and some water to pick up Chen Jun, wanting to take him to another camp to dig people together.
Because the company commander's level is still a bit low, I can't talk to other battalions.
Chen Jun couldn't shirk it, so he went with him twice during the period.
The process involves robbing and selling favors to trick a few key people.
In the end, even Chen Jun couldn't resist anymore. He had been surrounded by several company commanders all day asking for his backbone, and his mouth was numb from smoking.
The 179th Brigade Tank Battalion is located in the barracks. Recently, I have been going there too frequently.
Every time I see a few of them passing by together, I almost close the gate of the barracks. I see them competing with each other. Damn it, the reaction was huge.
Even the mechanized brigade next door gave them a wide berth.
How to get there?
Chen Jun thought that he still wanted to have some shame.
So, in the next few days, Chen Jun simply hid in the office.
Anyway, the tank engineers are all here. Without the backbone, the training progress is much slower, but it’s not that there is no progress.
Let’s stay away for a few days and check the situation.
