Chapter 31: Exercise

"Captain Cui!" Just as I was thinking about how to convince the soldiers, with a scream, Li Pinghe came to us.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that something was wrong with our atmosphere, Li Pinghe asked in confusion.

"Political Commissar!" a soldier replied, "The regiment commander...he wants us to learn the Americans' style, saying that we want to fight like they did!"

"Um!" Li Pinghe was stunned for a moment and asked, "So you are not happy, are you?"

My heart couldn't help but sank. I've experienced Li Pinghe's stance. This time I heard that I would use the Americans' style to train the soldiers, but I don't know what level it will raise this problem to.

But unexpectedly, when Li Pinghe put his face down, he criticized the soldiers very seriously and said, "I said, what are you comrades doing? What's wrong with learning the Americans' style? If you can learn what is useful to us, you can learn it. As long as you can defeat the enemy better and faster, no matter who he is?"

It was my turn now that I was stunned. I didn't expect that Li Pinghe, who had always been stubborn in my impression, would become so open-minded now.

After a pause, Li Pinghe continued, "Who said we can't learn the enemy's things? We can't use them? When we were fighting, we learned a lot of tactics from them? Many of our comrades now use guns that are still the 38th big gays of the little ones! What's wrong? Don't use the little ones? Those guns are all received from the enemy, right? I'm asking me to tell you! It's so satisfying to use the little ones to beat the little ones! Just like now, if we use the Americans' style to defeat the Americans, wouldn't it make them even more angry? The ancients all knew that 'learning the barbarians', and you wooden fish's heads are not enlightened!"

"It's reasonable!" Several soldiers couldn't help scratching their heads as they heard this.

"I'll tell you a few..." Li Ping and his fingers pointed at the soldiers in the air and said, "Captain Cui asked you to learn the Americans' style naturally to make sense. You always get upset, and there is no way to look like a revolutionary soldier! Everyone has one hundred push-ups!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded, not daring to say more. All of them, including Li Guoqiang, were lying on the ground to receive punishment.

"Political Commissar!" I handed a cigarette to Li Pinghe and said with a wry smile: "Thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what to say!"

"It's not my idea!" Li Pinghe smiled and replied, "To be honest... I don't agree with the Americans' attacks, but Commander Pang has an order to let me support you unconditionally no matter what you do!"

"So that's how it is!" I couldn't help but joke: "Then wasn't my cigarette for nothing?"

Li Pinghe was amused by me and lit a cigarette for me, patted my shoulder and said, "You guy, I really want to hate you!"

I knew what Li Pinghe was saying, and I couldn't help but look at Lin Xue not far away. Because she was not a cadre, she was exempted from the physical punishment of push-ups. She was secretly looking at us now! Maybe she was worried about the conflict between Li Pinghe and me.

"Be kind to her!" Li Pinghe spat a smoke ring and said, "I just knew she had joined the Cold Gun Army and promised me not to let her have something to do!"

"Yeah!" I nodded.

But what I thought was that if something really happened on the battlefield, no one could do anything about it.

"Teacher Pang trusts you very much!" Li Pinghe found a flat stone beside him and sat down. He looked at the soldiers doing push-ups in front of him, and said, "When you were still fighting in Shangganling, Commander Pang mentioned you every time you were in the meeting. He said that you never play according to common sense and do not follow the rules, and sometimes you even do excessive things! But every time you do it is right, as if you can know what will happen in the future and prepare in advance!"

I was shocked to hear these words, knowing that what Commander Pang said, "doing something too much" refers to the fact that I forged the telegram.

This made me realize one thing: I am usually only thinking about using my historical knowledge to save more volunteer soldiers. In order to achieve this goal, I don’t care about hiding the “prophet ability” that will know what direction history will develop. It would be fine if I spend a short time together, but like Chief Pang like me, I will naturally feel something is wrong. For example, I seem to "know what will happen in the future!"

Although he thought so in his heart, he pretended to be relaxed and sat next to Li Pinghe, spitting out a sip of smoke and said, "Teacher Pang really respects me so much. If you know what will happen in the future, then can I become a god?"

"That's why Commander Pang trusts you so much!" Li Pinghe replied: "He already has a kind of...blind trust in you! Didn't you find that he would discuss anything with you? As long as it is your decision, whether it is reasonable or not, he will support him without considering it! I think it's almost done if he doesn't think you are a god. What makes me even a little helpless is that now I'm almost like Commander Pang!"

"Go to you!" I couldn't help but joke: "You really think I'm a dance master!"

"It's not a great god, it's a great immortal!" Li Pinghe replied seriously, and then couldn't help laughing with me.

But I became more and more frightened as I laughed, and I thought that it would be more obscure in the future, or that I would make such a small mistake once or twice occasionally, otherwise if this continues, it would be strange if people don’t doubt it.

The training of the soldiers was simple because of Li Pinghe's unconditional support. The ideological aspects were solved by Li Pinghe, and I felt at ease to apply everything I could think of on the soldiers.

All the problems are just that I don’t have much training on special forces in my head. Fortunately, I have watched many movies in this area in modern times, and I have been on the battlefield for three years. I can still tell which ones are suitable for the Korean battlefield and what is not applicable. In addition, I have not fought with the US military on the battlefield once or twice. Although I have never seen how they train, I am aware of their tactics on the battlefield, so I can train with ease.

The soldiers also have novel and interesting training methods because of my novel and interesting methods. As veterans, they have learned that my set of things are very practical on the battlefield after a period of training, so their enthusiasm has been greatly improved.

For the combat troops, what I did was to overturn all their previous tactics. Speaking of which, the tactics of the Volunteer Army soldiers in combat were relatively single. If they either built defense lines to fight defensive wars on the battlefield, they would launch a charge under the cover of machine guns and mortars. Most of the tactical roots were because the volunteer soldiers were backward in weapons and equipment, so they emphasized the fastest speed to rush into the opponent's camp and strangle them with the enemy.

Now we also have more advanced weapons and equipment, such as the 7th Company is equipped with a large number of ***Sha submachine guns and turntable machine guns. Although the firing rate of the rifle Mosinnagan is not as good as the m1 in the hands of the US military, because the ***Sha and turntable machine guns have a large capacity, and are also equipped with certain mortars, recoilless guns, etc., their firepower has actually exceeded that of ordinary US companies.

Not to mention the equipment of the Cold Gun troops. The intercoms are used for communication, and one out of three people uses a carbine with a night vision device. For other weapons, Commander Pang gave them strong support, and no matter what it is, they will give priority to their choice.

However, most of the soldiers in the Cold Gun Army are used to using Mosin Nagan. I can understand this. If you are used to using a weapon and want to replace it, you will always have to adapt for a while, and it may not be suitable. Especially for these sharpshooters in the Cold Gun Army, the difference in gun size and weight will make them feel uncomfortable.

Of course, a considerable number of people chose American m1 rifles, such as Lin Xue, Liu Yangxing and other younger soldiers. I think a large part of them were influenced by me when they were willing to throw away the Soviet rifles they used to use and switch to m1 rifles. However, those older soldiers, older ones, could not change them anyway. Some people even wanted to change them, but they hurriedly replaced them for a few days after holding the m1 rifle.

In their words, the bones were hard, and the old rifle was used like a part of the body. It was suddenly replaced with a new one, and it felt uncomfortable no matter how you used it.

Wang Xinhe, the stubborn old man, didn't even touch the m1 from beginning to end. He said, "This wife can be replaced, but this gun cannot be replaced no matter how hard he did!"

The reason why Yang Zhenshan and Hu Zudi were willing to replace the m1 rifle was because Commander Pang specially arranged two m1cs with scopes like me. The right to use these two rifles is naturally that in the cold gun troops, Hu, and Yang, who are the best shooting skills and the oldest qualifications. They naturally did not want to let go of such an opportunity, so they had to bear the pain of giving up, throw away the original Mosinnagan and use the m1.

Of course, I don’t want to interfere with the guns that use are the soldiers’ ***. What’s more, the Mosinnagan and the m1 rifle have their own benefits.

If the equipment is ready, the tactics formulated based on the poor equipment of the soldiers are obviously no longer applicable. With the equipment on the soldiers now, they can completely suppress the enemy's firepower, so there is naturally no need to pile up human lives and strangle them with the enemy as before.

So, a brand new force was born on the battlefield.

I have to admit that this unit is very similar to the US military. It also covers each other's alternating progress based on squads and platoons.

Actually, this is nonsense. When I trained them, I used the US military as the model. If it didn’t look like it, it means that I failed in training.

The difference is that I added the role of sharpshooter to this unit. There are also snipers in the special forces of the US military, but I think there will never be so many of them in the 7th Company.

The soldiers of the Cold Gun Army are usually in groups of two, one equipped with a night vision device and the other equipped with ordinary rifles. The purpose of this is to complement each other's length. Although the night vision device can see the target clearly in the night, the range of the carbine is insufficient. Therefore, in the sniper battlefield, he mostly acts as an observer, responsible for finding the target in the dark battlefield and then reporting the opponent's position to his comrades around him.

Whether it is the soldiers of the 7th Company or the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army, they all have a foundation in combat, so once they change their minds and actively participate in training, their progress can be described as jumping. The battle between the entire army has been perfect in just over half a month. Later, I took some methods to let the soldiers enter the simulation exercise, which gave the soldiers a feeling of rapid progress.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is an ordinary cold night in North Korea. Because of the silence of artillery fire between the two sides during this period, the snow-white snow once again covered everything on the position. Moreover, because the shrubs and woods on the high ground were blown up by enemy planes and cannons, the snow was paved, making the entire inclined surface look like a white ocean in the dark, and the snow powder and snowflakes that rose with the wind were just like the waves it caused.

And I held up the carbine in my hand and observed everything on the battlefield through the night vision device on it.

This is the 305th Heights after the 649.8 Highland. After more than half a month of training, the soldiers of the 7th Company, which had begun to take shape, have entered the confrontation exercise stage. For this reason, we also specially asked Hu Biao's first battalion to send two company soldiers to act as enemies. It is also good to try whether the newly trained unit can be tested in actual combat!

"The first group, five hundred meters on the right wing, a platoon of enemies are approaching you, and set up an ambush!"

"Yes!" With a response, dozens of figures in the night vision instrument quickly emerged from the tunnel, and then spread out in a fan shape to lay down pockets. The soldiers of the Cold Gun Army quickly occupied a favorable position and pointed the muzzle in the direction the enemy was about to come up.

In fact, the 7th Company equipped with night vision devices has to fight against an ordinary company, which is not equal, so I let the 7th Company fight against Hu Biao's two companies.

Hu Biao was quite dissatisfied with this because he did not believe that one of our company could beat the two of them. Although our company was a soldier selected by the 538th Regiment, Hu Biao's two companies were not vegetarians.

Of course, because we lack exercise bullets, this confrontation depends to a large extent on the evaluation of both sides. In fact, it is a kind of drill to simulate the attack on the 902.8 Highlands.

Hu Biao's two companies are equivalent to the puppet troops stationed on the 902.8 high ground, while we are troops lurking in the tunnel waiting to attack.

"The second and third groups, launch troops to prepare for the attack!"

"yes!"

Commands were sent out from the walkie-talkie on my collar. As the saying goes, knowing that the enemy is invincible for battle, I held a night vision instrument in my hand and observed the entire battlefield. Any movements of the enemy are in my control, and then I directed the soldiers to react one by one. Although this is not the actual battlefield, I feel free to apply it.

"No. 1, No. 1!" At this time, Liu Yangxing's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Discover the enemy command center, please give instructions! Repeat, discover the enemy command center! Please give instructions!"

"Take me the enemy command!" I ordered easily.

Then with a loud noise, Hu Biao's scolding came from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "What's the point! Have you been here since you were here?"

I couldn't help laughing, it was convenient to have a night vision device! This frontal suspicion array made Hu Biao think that we were going to attack from the front, but he did not expect that in the night sky where he could not see his fingers, it was the best time to use the night vision device.

Speaking of which, this guy Liu Yangxing can recognize the characteristic of being an official at a glance, but it is really not a big deal. This time he successfully completed the task again!

There was only one squad. Under the guidance of two carbines with night vision instruments, the soldiers of one squad broke through the open whistle set up by Hu Biao and easily dropped his command center with the intuition of the cold gun troops and the advantages of the night vision instruments. The victory or defeat of this battle is self-evident!

The flashlight on the top of the mountain lights up and three times, which means that the drill has ended. The soldiers lurking in the snow stood up from the snow and walked towards the top of the mountain with their guns in their arms.

When I arrived at the top of the mountain, I saw that Hu Biao and his chief of staff were tied to the ground! The soldiers of the first battalion were all stunned, and they didn't understand at all that the battalion commander had fallen into the hands of the enemy at that time.

I walked up to Hu Biaosong with a smile and said, "Battleman Commander Hu, are you a little dissatisfied?"

"Just, I just don't accept it!" Hu Biao said with a blushing face and thick neck: "That's because you have night vision devices... If this battle really starts, it won't be like this!"

"This battle will really start! It won't be like this!" I replied.

Then he smiled and waved to the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army. Soon a dozen soldiers came up and described the positions on the top of the mountain and the people who had been exposed. The soldiers described were also very conscious and stood up one after another, and one of them was the company commander.

"If this battle really starts..." I compared the warriors who stood up and said, "Just just started fighting, and you have almost half of the soldiers guarding the position. My troops launched a fierce attack under the cover of sharpshooters, and are fully capable of occupying the top position at the first time. The soldiers in your tunnel are not in a hurry to replenish them!"

"We can guard the tunnel!" Hu Biao said unyieldingly: "As long as the tunnel is still in our hands, it cannot be considered a loss!"
Chapter completed!
