Chapter 30 Cooperation
Training for the Cold Gun Force and the 7th Company began quickly, and time still chose to be at night as usual.
In fact, our training location was on the backscene position of the 649.8 Highland. Although it was a shooting dead corner of the enemy on the opposite side, we still did not dare to conduct training activities openly during the day. First, we were worried that the enemy would see the clues, and second, we were to avoid enemy shelling to allow unnecessary casualties to the soldiers. You should know that the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army and the 7th Company under Li Guoqiang were all treasures of our 538th Regiment.
But I can also see that the soldiers were not very happy, not because they were unwilling to obey my orders, but because training like this could not stimulate their nerves at all.
I can understand their psychology. Although this unit has a small number of people, each of them has climbed out of the sea of blood through a hundred battles! This is the case with the 7th Company led by Li Guoqiang, and this is even more so with the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army. These soldiers have long been used to big scenes and have seen too many guns and bullets. Now they have to train on this battlefield where there are few enemies and almost no danger, so how can they still be able to stand up!
A saying that veterans often say is that they fight more and gradually become old fry. Old fry is also called veteran fry. New fry is scared to death when they first went to the battlefield when they heard the gunshots, while veterans still sleep with their heads covering their heads even if the shells exploded next to them. Although this has rich fighting experience, it also means that they are slow to be slow and not very motivated.
The Cold Gun Army and the Seventh Company soldiers seemed to be such veterans. Although they had to perform this training task due to my order, their unhappiness was naturally reflected in the training, such as weak in charge, movements, agility and cooperation, etc., all of which could not achieve the expected results. Liu Shunyi, who was directly responsible for training them, couldn't help but frowned.
Of course, this cannot be considered as Lin Xue, who has just joined the Cold Gun Army. Lin Xue is not a veteran. She has been training in advanced rifles before, so her current training tasks are like fish in water for her. And she seems to be interested in showing off in front of me, so she shows extraordinary enthusiasm every time she trains, and her active shadow is everywhere on the training ground.
Because negotiations have just resumed during this period, there is basically no war on the front line, so the regiment commander, I, was free. If you have any questions, I would come to the training ground to watch their training.
As for the organization of the troops, Liu Shunyi separated the Cold Gun troops and the combat troops as I mean. Except for the squad leader of the Cold Gun troops who died in the last battle and Wang Xinhe who had just arrived, there was basically no change in the rest.
As I looked at it, I felt something was wrong. I was wondering why Liu Shunyi kept training soldiers to drop bombs, charge, shoot targets, and build positions. This seemed to be no different from other troops! No wonder the soldiers couldn't stand up...
"Deputy Commander Liu!" Thinking of me, I couldn't help but ask Liu Shunyi, who was still commanding the warrior, and said, "Is there anything else in this training?"
"Report to the regiment commander!" Liu Shunyi turned around and stood in front of me and said, "The mission of our army is mainly to sneak attack the enemy's frontier positions and then defend the positions for two to three hours. So I think the training for them is mainly to let the cold gun troops and combat troops cooperate with each other to take down the positions, and then build position defense!"
"So you train them to cooperate with the charge and how to build positions and lines of defense?" I asked back.
"Captain Cui means..." Liu Shunyi looked at me with some confusion.
Looking at the doubts on Liu Shunyi's face, I understood one thing, that is, there is no special forces in the Volunteer Army. When fighting, it is either charging or defense. When completing special tasks, it is mostly sent to complete the training of regular troops. However, a unified model has been formed and cannot be broken through. As a deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, Liu Shunyi certainly does not know how to train such a distinctive unit.
It is no wonder that the volunteer soldiers were caught off guard when facing the "white commando" of the special agents that puppet troops penetrated into North Korea in the late stage.
No! If Liu Shunyi continues to train like this, this elite unit will probably become much different from an ordinary unit again. It is just that the members are more experienced and have a more accurate marksmanship.
Liu Shunyi is good at training troops, but the training methods in his mind are still the same as before. He has no way to take advantage of the night vision devices and walkie-talkies in his hands. What I want is a unit that can exchange for the greatest results at the lowest price!
Thinking of this, I asked Liu Shunyi casually: "How is the tunnel locating at the forefront of the enemy's position digging?"
"It went smoothly, no mistakes!" Liu Shunyi replied: "The comrades in the reconnaissance platoon chose three locations as the tunnel entrances. The first night was more dangerous because they had to avoid the enemy patrols carefully and also pay attention to dispersing the new soil! So the progress was very slow. It was relatively relaxed the next day, because all the soldiers could hide in the tunnel that had been dug up, and the new soil could be stored in the tunnel for a while. It is already four or five meters deep!"
"Deputy Commander Liu!" I said intercom: "The task of the reconnaissance troops building tunnels on the enemy's frontier positions is extraordinary. It may directly affect whether our battle will be successful. To be on the safe side, I think it is better for you to focus on the progress of the tunnel! Political Commissar Li and I have nothing to do during this period, so let us temporarily leave it to us!"
"Yes!" Liu Shunyi responded and agreed with my statement. After all, people need to pay attention to the matters of the tunnel at all times, so they didn't feel anything wrong.
By the way, this is the art of speaking. If I point at him and criticize him, how can you do this or that training, and then say to Liu Shunyi: You should stop being able to be a good soldier, just leave it to me and Li Pinghe!
Liu Shunyi will definitely accept the orders if he does this. After all, he is a soldier! He will obey the orders, but he will definitely feel uncomfortable. When this person feels uncomfortable, he will naturally feel uncomfortable when he does his work and will not be so dedicated anymore!
But after Liu Shunyi gathered the cadres of the army to me, I couldn't help but feel worried again. I used to be a reporter, and I could say that I was conquering the world with my pen. I had never trained any soldiers, let alone trained any special forces! At this time, facing this group of soldiers who looked at me with anticipation, especially Lin Xue, who was standing not far away, looked at me with a challenging look, as if saying: "Let the horse come over and see what you have!"
"Is the gesture unified?" I asked casually.
"Captain!" A soldier raised the walkie-talkie clipped on the collar and said, "With this thing, do you still need gestures?"
"Of course!" I glared at me and said fiercely: "Don't have gestures, what should the enemy do in front of us? Give me a set of unified gestures right away!"
"Wait! Don't mess it up!" I changed my words and said to Hu Zudi: "This is how it goes! Use the gestures of the Cold Gun Army, and let the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army teach the gestures after the meeting later!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded.
Special forces... How should I train the troops in front of me into special forces? At this time, the modern TV and the special forces in the movie suddenly flashed through my head: Yes! Can I train a special forces in that way? No matter how he trains, as long as he can fight a war on the battlefield, he can fight a good war! Just like the gestures of the soldiers, no matter whether it looks good or not, as long as he can clearly express his consciousness, it will be done!
Thinking about it, he immediately asked, "How do you distribute your walkie-talkies?"
"Report to the regiment commander!" Li Guoqiang replied: "One cadre at the platoon level and above in the combat force! One person at the cold gun squad or above in the cold gun squad!"
"What about the others?" I asked.
There are more than 40 walkie-talkies in total. If distributed in this way, only a dozen will be used at most.
"Deputy Commander Liu means... it is other matching!"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Liu Shunyi was afraid that he would treat this walkie-talkie as a treasure, so he couldn't bear to use it! Although the walkie-talkie is good, in my eyes, no matter how advanced the equipment is, it would be as good as the lives of the soldiers.
So he immediately ordered: "The allocation of intercoms is changed to one for each combat squad, and one for each cold gun troop!"
With a coaxing sound, the soldiers started to talk. My conclusion was obviously focused on the soldiers of the cold gun troops, which made the soldiers of Li Guoqiang's combat troops a little dissatisfied, and even Li Guoqiang's face was a little unhappy!
"Why are you quarreling?" I cursed at the warriors with a stern face: "Are you not convinced? Or is it the elite troops of our 538th Regiment! So you start to get upset?"
"Captain Cui..." Li Guoqiang took off his hat and said a little aggrievedly: "We, aren't we in a bad mood? You... aren't this deliberately looking down on us? Why is there only one in the cold gun army, and we still have to be the squad leader to spread one?"
"Why?" I said angrily: "Just relying on the cold gun troops to lurk, they want to fire cold guns!"
I pointed to the dark positions around and said, "You don't think about it. All the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army are scattered on the positions. It can be said that the officials cannot find soldiers, and the soldiers cannot find officials. If there is no intercom, how can you command the unified command? Can your troops be the same? Most of you fight in wars, one platoon and one platoon to top up. Why do you need so many intercoms? As a meal?"
As soon as I said this, the soldiers understood. They couldn't help but look at me and I looked at you, and they all knew that the emotions just now were indeed unreasonable.
"It's not me who said you!" My index finger was lightly lit in the air and said, "You are all my old subordinates, all brothers who have lived and died with me. Can I look down on you? Can I still be biased? I'm assigning this according to actual needs, do you understand?"
"Captain, we understand!" Li Guoqiang smiled embarrassedly and continued, "You, please continue to give orders! Let's not interrupt!"
"Yes! We all listened to the commander!"
"Resolutely obey orders and not individualism!"
The soldiers’ statements made me feel both angry and funny. In fact, they were not emotional, but a common problem among volunteer soldiers, that is, they could not stand being looked down upon by others! Now I know that I did not look down on them, so how could there be any more emotions!
"This way..." Recalling the scene of the special forces attacking in modern movie shots, I continued: "The most important purpose of our training this time is to cooperate between the cold gun troops and the combat troops. How should the cold gun troops and the combat troops cooperate? This requires you to know how to use the other party and rely on the other party!"
"Use the other party? Rely on the other party?" Hearing what I said, the soldiers, including the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army, were a little confused.
"That's right!" I nodded and said, "Our army is different from other troops, and its fighting style is also different! This is also the purpose of my formation of this army. What I want is not your courage, nor how can you fight, but you need to cooperate! Cooperate with the soldiers around you, and also cooperate with the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army! I want you to be a whole army like a tacit understanding, so that you can save yourself and eliminate the enemy well, and finally achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost!"
Warriors, look at me, and I look at you, and it seems that they can't understand. Some soldiers are nodding, but I know that they are not understandable, and some are even very likely to understand it wrong! So I have to use specific examples to explain...
"Li Guoqiang!"
"arrive!"
I pointed to a dark stone diagonally above and asked, "What would you do if there were two enemy sharpshooters hidden behind that stone?"
"What else can I do? The machine gunner covers it and bring a squad to beat his mother!" Li Guoqiang said carelessly.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, raised the m1 rifle in my hand and shook it in front of Li Guoqiang, and said, "The enemy's two sharpshooters are condescending. If the position is good, the machine gun firepower may not be able to suppress them. You are not unfamiliar with the American rifle! They can fire eight bullets at a time, and two rifles are sixteen. If they have good shooting skills, more than a dozen people in your squad have not yet rushed to halfway, and I am afraid they will all lie on the road!"
"Captain!" Some soldiers also said unconvincedly: "We are not new recruits, we know how to find cover! How easy is the enemy who wants to bring us all down so quickly?"
"Why don't we try?" I grabbed the rifle and said, "Actually, there is no need for two enemy sharpshooters, just me alone is enough!"
The soldier was so scared that he stretched out his tongue, scratched his head and said, "The regiment commander is OK. How can the enemy's sharpshooter be as capable as the regiment commander?"
"Why didn't there?" I asked back, "I almost died under the enemy's sharpshooter a few days ago. You all forgot? What if there is another one? The soldiers of your squad will fight for their lives? They replaced the enemy's dozens of bullets?"
As soon as I said this, the soldiers stopped talking.
"So..." I continued, "You must use each other and rely on each other! At this time, you must think of the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army behind you. As long as you talk to the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army through the intercom, we three or four sharpshooters aim the guns at that point, plus the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army and night vision devices, as long as they emerge, they must make their heads bloom! What does it mean to save yourself? This is called saving yourself! As long as you say it to the intercom, you can not hurt anyone, but you have to fight for a shift! Do you think there is such a war?"
When the soldiers were speechless, Li Guoqiang looked even more ashamed and didn't know what to say!
"A soldier of the Cold Gun Army!" I turned around and said to Hu Zudi: "You don't need to charge, but you must follow closely behind the combat troops. No matter when, you must pay attention to occupying the commanding heights and protecting the combat troops that charge in front from different directions and angles. You are like the firepower extension of the combat troops. You must always pay attention to suspicious positions that may pose a threat to the combat troops, and first remove the enemy's firepower points hidden in the dark before the enemy. And when the combat troops pass on the enemy's position, they can accurately and promptly lock the enemy's firepower points!"
"I understand!" Hu Zudi nodded. What I said was not difficult to understand for cold gun troops with lurking combat experience. Because they had to do almost all of the same thing when firing cold guns in the past. Now they are just the task of protecting combat troops.
"Battlefield Commander Li!" I turned to Li Guoqiang and continued, "Think about how the Americans fought! When they were fighting, a unit was divided into several groups, covering each other and attacking. When they encountered a dangerous or difficult firepower point in front, summon the artillery troops or planes to blow them up first. What you need to learn is almost this way of fighting!"
"What?" Hearing that Li Guoqiang didn't understand again, he stood up and asked, "Yes, should we learn the American style of playing? What kind of imperialism do?"
"Yes! Captain Cui!" The other soldiers couldn't figure it out, and asked one after another:
"This American can play like that. Isn't it that way to beat us? Now we still have to learn their tricks?"
"The Americans ran away when they hit a nail, and then called artillery and planes. Should we run away like them?"
"Yes! Isn't this embarrassing?"
Seeing the soldiers' reactions so much, I couldn't help but complain. As I was just talking, I forgot to draw a clear line with American imperialism. Now that the soldiers have been raised to the height of class struggle, isn't it even more difficult to get them to accept this style of play?
