Super military empire

Chapter 170 War is the only criterion to test the combat effectiveness of the army

With the support of the Twenty-seven tanks of the Dragon Tooth squad, the battle was almost a one-sided situation. A large number of monkeys were shot by machine guns when the tanks turned around.With machine gun breakthroughs, various support firepower such as mortars and individual rocket launchers were hit very badly.

When they reacted later, the People's Liberation Army troops began to rush up again.

The People's Liberation Army is not as equipped as them, and has not fought in more than ten years. Its combat experience and quality are not as good as them, and even not as good as their equipment!Especially after experiencing great chaos, the command system is chaotic, there is no military rank, soldiers can not find who should be ordered in the fierce exchange of fire, and even the training of the People's Liberation Army is lacking.

However, the People's Liberation Army's fierceness and large numbers are far beyond the comparison of monkeys.

At 11:35 on the morning of December 16, 1977, the first large-scale battle on the Western Front of the Republic ended in a period of ten hours.

The regular offensive troops of the seven divisions defeated the monkey 345 division, destroyed the monkey flag unit 316a division and most of the heavy equipment of another elite heavy equipment division. The casualties of the opponent are unknown, but they will definitely be worse than the Republican side.

The republic’s artillery is far more violent than the U.S. Army that monkeys have worked for more than ten years.

Capturing the enemy's tanks approaching three companies, and directing the artillery to destroy the hidden artillery positions and armored units hidden in the primitive jungle, this kind of credit is actually a team that has not completed the training!

Moreover, this team has only sixty people.

"Such a peculiar skill is beyond our imagination. Especially in the two positions of the shelling, we have sent troops to guard the equipment in those areas, and at the same time encircle and suppress the regular monkey army hiding in the forest. The opponent's 316a division has become History is over! Very good!" In the face of the tired Dragonfang warrior, Commander Yang Dezhi did not hesitate to praise.

Especially with the more than 20 tanks captured by the opponent, they can form a tank battalion!

These things are much more advanced than the 59 tank.

Among other things, only the 125-caliber gun barrel is much larger than the 100-caliber of the Type 59 tank equipped by the Republic.

These leaders don't understand anything else, but depending on the caliber of the cannon, they can still tell the power.

"The head of the report, these are what we should do! The Republic trains us to carry out such characters, to deal devastating blows to the enemy's strategic goals, so that they will never dare to be an enemy of the Republic!" Chen Dashan's emotions at this moment It was not high. A bullet in Wang Feng's chest penetrated the lobe of his lungs and was taken by helicopter to the General Hospital of Southern Yunnan Military Region.

This is what they have obtained with such privileges.The other wounded soldiers were all in the rear field hospital.

Such a huge casualty, this is what the leaders did not expect.

"Very good, you didn't disappoint your motherland! Let's take a rest first. In these two days we will rest for two days, and then we are ready to launch the next round of offensive..." Commander Yang did not say anything, just nodded and asked Chen Dashan to take him. The troops went to rest.

In the current situation, it is best to pursue victory and pursuit, but unfortunately, the casualties of the Republican army are too great.

Being beaten by the monkey's automatic firepower was too bad, especially when attacking enemy positions, many officers led the team to charge, which increased the casualties.

The 39th Division’s casualties were the most serious. Their most elite 114 regiment was basically maimed. More than 1,000 people, including the regiment leader, died of 328 people. The injuries were basically all, including more than 200. The seriously wounded!

Such casualties also highlight the situation of the army on the side of the Republic.

On the Monkey's second line of defense, there are more regular troops that have undergone a lot of actual combat.

"In this battle, everyone fought bravely and completed the offensive mission more than a day earlier than we expected... All of our cadres at the regiment level and above will have a meeting here to summarize the experience of this battle. Know me Why did you choose to hold this meeting in the division of the 39th Division instead of the front?" Commander Yang said with a serious face.

No one was happy with the praise at the beginning.

This is in exchange for the life of a soldier.

"The 39th Division fought bravely. This should be reported to the General Staff and the Military Commission for praise!" The 39th Division accounted for one-third of the casualties on the western front!

"This is still an offense, and one regiment will be maimed!"

With these words, like a knife, Song Mingcheng's face was flushed, and he did not dare to raise his head to argue.

They still continued the previous dispatch, large-scale group charge, with their lives to fight, and with their lives to pile up the enemy's forward positions!

"Song Mingcheng, let's talk about it! Your experience as a division commander is worthy of promotion across the board. Share your experience with everyone, so that everyone can learn from it. On the entire western front, your 39th Army is the most brave, and the main force can be defeated by the enemy. Disabled! This is still under the condition of artillery support!" At this point, Commander Yang directly named Song Mingcheng.

Before the start of the war, he wanted to remove Song Mingcheng, but because of the exhortation of Chief of Staff Xia Shijie, and because he was worried that the temporary replacement before the war would have a great impact.For this, Chief of Staff Xia Shijie stayed here all the time, but in the end this guy still used his old experience to do this.

Such a lesson could have been avoided.

As a commander, it is the most necessary and basic to master the situation of his troops.

"Commander, I am also wrong here!" Xia Shijie knew that this time Song Mingcheng was in a disaster, and the 39th Division basically lost its combat effectiveness.In the back attack, it is absolutely impossible to perform important tasks.He couldn't stop it at all.

Song Mingcheng could stop him, but he couldn't stop the commanders and battalions in the forward positions.

When those guys' heads got hot, they rushed up.

In particular, the commander of the 115th regiment began to charge with the troops just after the shelling ended. As a result, he killed his own life and at the same time caused more than 500 casualties in the regiment.

"Our troops are under-trained. This was emphasized at the beginning. Many recruits have not completed the basic training. Before the general offensive was launched, I gave you an order to place the recruits in the rear as a reserve team. How can it work under such a war situation? The seven divisions of the entire Western Front are not as effective as the five teams of Longya! Without them, who can tell me and finally take the enemy’s position , How many soldiers’ casualties do we need to pay? Song Mingcheng, tell me? At the last moment, didn’t you start to organize a commando team? Now dumb?” said this, Commander Yang Dezhi was standing with his hands on the table. stand up.

The so-called cadre commando is actually an officer's death squad.

The 39th Division has always had the tradition of using elite troops to attack the enemy's strong line.

Once the enemy's line of defense is broken and the gap is opened, the war will undergo a fundamental transformation.

"Commander, I was wrong, and I ask for punishment!" Song Mingcheng had nothing to say at all.What else can he do besides requesting punishment?

"You don't ask, I have to punish you. From today, you don't serve as the commander of the 39th Division, go to the Logistics Management Office! Other things, wait until after the war!" Commander Yang Dezhi's small eyes widened. Actually dare to do it, really think it can't be handled?

Song Mingcheng answered yes in a low voice, and said nothing.

Looking around the many commanders, Commander Yang did not make too many entanglements on this issue.

Today’s meeting is to sum up experience and lessons, let these guys remember these lessons, and avoid such a situation on a large scale in the subsequent war.Various malpractices are exposed and must be resolved, otherwise, the casualties on the Western Front will become more serious.

"Commander, our artillery fell into our own position several times while supporting. Fortunately, no casualties were caused..."

"Commander, our automatic firepower is insufficient, and we hope to equip us with more automatic weapons..."

"Commander, many of our soldiers have not undergone rigorous training. Some recruits don't even know the simplest tactical movements. Many soldiers are so scared to appear when they hear the sound of artillery..."

Many high-ranking officers had already summed up the battle of their own troops before they came here, and all the shortcomings exposed are summarized here.

To sum up, the troops are under-trained and the automatic firepower is not as good as the opponent's. Individual support weapons such as mortars are insufficient, especially the artillery troops lack training. Many front-line troops are afraid to call for artillery support.The soldier's grenade was not thrown far, which was also caused by lack of training.

These situations are well recorded by the clerks, who must change these issues during the war.

The reason why the Republic decided to fight this battle was to test the true combat effectiveness of the troops.

Once these situations are effectively resolved, the military's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.Especially for the issue of late supply. In the shelling last night, because of insufficient ammunition reserves, four artillery clusters were allocated to cover the shelling from both sides. The six-kilometer front in the middle became relatively sparse.

To the back, there is not enough shells in the front line...

The battlefield on the Western Front suffered a loss, but it gave the PLA too much experience and lessons.

The dazzling performance of the Dragon Tooth team made this contrast even stronger.

Commander Yang Dezhi discussed with the division commanders and the chiefs of staff, and decided from now on, while carrying out the mission, let Longya train all their scouts.In this way, the Republic will not suffer losses in subsequent wars.

Faced with the tanks captured by Longya, they became the subject of discussion in the final meeting.

Everyone wants to equip this stuff in their own teacher!
