Back in the reconnaissance class, it was already time for training. I had no time to say hello before I had to set off.
For the team that went up to the mountain for training today, each class was a bit fresh due to the addition of wireless classes.
Huang Zhonghe, the old squad leader, also followed, and the whole platoon positioned themselves as usual and ran sideways to watch.
In this run, there was a gap. Since the telephone class followed for more than a day and mastered some skills, everyone was obviously very excited and took turns running very easily. As for the wireless class, they are generally not very tall. Carrying a two-watt radio on their back is like carrying a turtle shell on their backs. They cannot run or move at all.
The old monitor, Huang Zhonghe, looked obviously unhappy. He never got angry, so he caught Xue Lin and gave him a lesson.
This is the result of not exercising for a long time. You spend all day practicing sending and receiving messages, memorizing passwords, and searching for channels. Who cares about exerting brute strength in this area? Just running a few hundred meters during exercise does not solve the physical problem at all during training.
The three classes ran together for a whole day. When it comes to harvest, Gu Maolin is the biggest. His positioning and fixation have improved greatly, and the frequency of being punished has been significantly reduced. But he still runs with me every time, helping the telephone class carry cables, or helping the wireless class carry radio stations.
We have steamed buns for dinner. The reconnaissance team came back with a washbasin. Wang Ke ate the least, but he also ate three.
After dinner, Wang Ke picked up the 1:50,000 map that Song Ruimin found for him and carefully studied the terrain opposite Longquanzhuang. Just looking at the map, green vegetation symbols and marks appear from time to time. Those reddish-brown contour lines often appear adhesion in dense areas. The altitude difference between the two contour lines is ten meters. The adhesion means cliff.
"How are you, platoon leader?" Song Ruimin also tilted his head and looked at the map.
"It's interesting. This place is quite different from our current training location in the north of the village." Wang Ke said. In fact, any scout with a little bit of map knowledge knows that there are hundreds of similar sizes and shapes in this place in the north of the village. of hills. The so-called difficulty is that it is easy to confuse, but it is not difficult.
The place recommended by Song Ruimin is truly full of deep forests, dense grass, and towering mountain ravines.
"Reconnaissance squad leader, when we chose the training location, why didn't we choose here instead of Longquanzhuang?" Wang Ke was a little curious. He knew that Song Ruimin didn't know, but he couldn't help but ask.
"Platoon leader, haven't you noticed? It's too difficult to take a side view here. There must be a cliff within a few hundred meters, and the forest is deep and the grass is dense. The gap between the two observation posts is often more than a hundred meters. The distance between the observation post and the target There is no transparency between the three points, it is difficult to see each other, and there is no way to train."
"Then I understand what reconnaissance squad leader Song Ruimin means. If we encounter this kind of terrain on the battlefield, we will have no way to fight. We must find mountainous areas like the north side of Longquanzhuang before we can measure and direct the battle, right? ?" Wang Ke sneered.
Song Ruimin was stunned. He really didn't expect this question. It covers more than 9.6 million square kilometers, southeast, northwest, and centrally. Especially after crossing the Yangtze River, the terrain in the south is exactly opposite to that in the north. It is basically covered with deep forests, dense grass, and numerous ravines.
"Platoon leader, I understand what you mean. That place is the best training place, and the place north of the village is not suitable for actual combat."
Wang Ke ignored him and continued to study with his head down. If the artillery position is located under a cliff and the target is on the other side of the mountain, the observation post cannot measure the coordinates of the artillery position or the distance to the target due to terrain restrictions. How to determine the shooting elements of the target?
Wang Ke's thinking is a bit difficult to explain to laypeople. In other words, it is the artillery position, observation post and target. The coordinates of these three points are not easy to determine due to terrain restrictions. How can our command platoon use new reconnaissance methods to determine where to shoot Zhu Yuan?
Without shooting Zhu Yuan, how could the cannonball have "eyes" and hit the enemy's heart directly? That can only be a blind attack and a blind bombardment.
Opportunities on the battlefield are very precious. It is possible that if you test-fire an artillery shell, the enemy will be able to calculate the coordinates of your artillery position from your impact point, thereby triggering a devastating artillery strike. This is why artillerymen repeatedly emphasize a "first hit" to prevent the enemy from having a chance to counterattack.
"Reconnaissance squad leader."
"arrive!"
"Tell me, what should we do if we encounter such complex terrain in actual combat?"
"Platoon commander, to be honest, I have never thought about this issue. But your thinking is very close to actual combat. Because the artillery positions of both the enemy and ours cannot be placed in an open area where both sides can see each other and are not conducive to concealment. But in comparison, , the enemy's target can be easily solved as long as we get close for reconnaissance, but it is more important to establish the coordinates of the observation post and our artillery position."
"Yes, this is also the main reason why we have been training like this these two days."
"Platoon leader, it seems that the scope of our training needs to be expanded. Do all artillery squad leaders have to learn to determine the coordinates of their standing points based on the map? And our command platoon also needs to learn to derive the coordinates of the observation command post in complex terrain. At the same time, Conduct close reconnaissance and measurement of enemy targets.”
"right."
Wang Ke immediately packed up the map and got up to find the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun.
Arriving at the west wing of the company headquarters, Wang Ke saw that the lights inside were on and there were two people photocopied on the window. He immediately shouted at the door: "Report!"
"Come in." The voice of the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun came from inside.
Wang Ke pushed the door open and took a look. Hey, it's the deputy company commander Lu Zeran and the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun. They are leaning against each other and looking at a military map on the kang table.
"Come on, come on, platoon leader, you're here just in time." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran looked up and saw Wang Ke and greeted immediately.
The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun didn't even raise his head. He was holding an artillery command ruler and a black military magnifying glass in his hand, measuring something on the map on the kang table.
"Wang Ke, come here to help. What if the company is trained here?" Old platoon leader Hu Zhijun sometimes used to call him by his first name, which is more cordial.
Wang Ke stepped forward and saw that it was the map he had just seen.
"Platoon commander, are you also studying this map?"
"What? Have you studied it too?" asked the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, raising his head.
"Yes, I just ran over to you after studying with Song Ruimin." Wang Ke answered with his legs together and standing at attention.
"No, no, no, no, come to me, don't be too restrained, tell me, what are you studying?" Hu Zhijun, the old platoon leader, put down what he was doing, jumped off the kang, and put on two shoes.
"Deputy company commander, old platoon commander, I have some new ideas, I don't know, right? I don't dare to report them to the company commander."
"Let's talk. The three of us will discuss and discuss first." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran was already sitting on the edge of the kang, looking at Wang Ke with a smile.
"Well, in the past few days, we have been conducting positioning and fixing training on Cunbei Mountain, and I have both the telephone class and the wireless class participate. But we still found some problems during the training. First, everyone used to think that positioning and fixing are Training is a matter for the reconnaissance class, and they don’t need to master it. I asked them to try it, but they were all confused. Secondly, there was a lack of strength training. They fell and fell down the mountain and couldn’t run up the mountain. Basically, something would happen as soon as they ran. "
When deputy company commander Lu Zeran heard this, he immediately laughed. He was also from the wireless class before, and he knew this problem. "Then how do you think we should train?"
"We trained for a day and mastered some skills, but I think this is not the most important. Now the training from the command platoon to our company is missing some content."
"Oh? What's the content?" Hu Zhijun, the old platoon leader, immediately stood up and went to get paper and pen.
"First, from a practical perspective, we need to find the terrain closest to the future battlefield to strengthen training, instead of conducting regular training according to the areas arranged and divided by superiors. Second, in the new terrain, we need to be targeted It can greatly increase the positioning and fixation of all personnel, marching according to azimuth angles, interspersed maneuvers, penetration and counter-infiltration, as well as field survival training."
After Wang Ke finished speaking, Lu Zeran, the deputy company commander over there, laughed loudly and said to the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun: "How is it? You really thought of us together."
"Commanding platoon leader, have you also taken a fancy to this terrain?" said the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, pulling out the map from the kang table behind him.
"Yes, platoon leader, I'm going to take the whole platoon here tomorrow to take a look on the spot, find some training areas for the company, and actually take a look. What training items should be added?" After Wang Ke finished speaking, he quietly said Looking at the two old leaders who are both teachers and friends.
"Command the platoon leader, let's do this. I will go with you tomorrow." The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun put the map back on the kang table, turned to the deputy company commander Lu Zeran and said: "Old Lu, you will still follow the artillery tomorrow. Pai, the three of us will meet again when we get back in the evening."
"What? Are you planning to go out for the day?" Deputy company commander Lu Zeran was surprised and asked.
"Yes, commander of the command platoon, go and inform the cooking team now. At noon tomorrow, prepare some dry food for our command platoon. After breakfast, we will set off."
"Yes!" Wang Ke stood at attention, saluted, turned around and went to the cooking class.
Walking under the window, Wang Ke heard deputy company commander Lu Zeran say to the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun: "Old Hu, did you see it? There are not many soldiers who are so brainy nowadays!"
What is this? I can’t think of it now. How will we fight this battle when we go to the battlefield in the future? Just don’t know!
Wang Ke came to the kitchen. The cooking squad leader was not there, but Hu Yanlou was.
"Hu Yanlou, what are you doing?"
Hu Yanlou was lying there, writing a letter. When he saw Wang Ke coming, he immediately hid the letter and stuffed it into the bed. Then, he stood at attention and said: "Squad leader, no, platoon leader, I am writing a letter home."
"You look like a thief, maybe you are writing a letter to your girlfriend!"
"No, no, absolutely not. Where do I have a girlfriend? Platoon leader, what do you want from our cooking class?" Hu Yanlou asked while covering up.
When Wang Ke thought about it, he had nothing to do with Hu Yanlou now. It was not time to expose him and Cuihua, so he said: "Tomorrow morning our command platoon and Artillery Unit Staff Hu will go out for a day of training. In the morning Cook more food and prepare some dry food for us at noon."
"Okay, platoon leader, I'll prepare some steamed buns for you. These are fine grains." Hu Yanlou said with a flattering look on his face.
"Okay, I'm going back." After Wang Ke said that, he immediately turned around and walked out.
"Platoon leader, platoon leader, wait a minute, I've prepared some delicious food for you. It's fried peanuts. Don't get me wrong, it's from home." Hu Yanlou grabbed Wang Ke and bent down to drag him from the kang. Go past a grenade box. This was the one the ordnance department "distributed" to the reconnaissance squad during that business trip.
Opening the box, he took out a newspaper bag, which was really fried peanuts.
"Is this for me?"
"Yes, platoon leader. Um, um... I want to borrow some money from you." Hu Yanlou's fox tail finally showed up. Wang Ke tilted his head and looked at him. This kid borrowed money everywhere, and now he is targeting him again. .
"Why are you borrowing money? How much do you plan to borrow?"
"Platoon leader, if you have money, please lend me one hundred. I have urgent needs at home." When Hu Yanlou heard that there was something going on, he immediately opened his mouth.
"No one hundred. If you borrow ten yuan, you have to wait for me to pay the subsidy. The money I spend now is all advanced by Song Ruimin."
"Forget it." Hu Yanlou was very disappointed.
Wang Ke felt sad when he saw this. He patted Hu Yanlou on the shoulder, turned around and left the cooking class without saying anything.
