Section 66
"I want to explain this." Seeing Fan Youming's embarrassing look, Zhang Wanhua hurriedly said: "The training personnel we selected are all combat backbones of each division and the elite forces of our 14th Army. However, we are also very unfamiliar with the new combat machinery such as mobile armor, so there will inevitably be omissions in training. Please understand this, the superior leader."
"It's hard, that's for sure." Looking at Zhang Wanhua's helpless face, I smiled: "When a new thing appears, it's quite difficult to be accepted by people. Not to mention mobile armor, just say that our army opened the air force and armored army according to the theory of international war when the new China was just established. Was it difficult at that time? It should be much more difficult than now, right? Not to mention the ready-made machine training, Beijing Armored Army Academy, Northeast Old Aviation School... These symbolize China's new type of military affairs.
The power organization was established at that most difficult time. At that time, let alone equipment, even a few planes and tanks used for training were extremely rare. But in such a difficult environment, we still cultivated a world record of killing American ace pilots from the sky. My Chairman once said: 'Man conquers nature'. I think this sentence works at any time except in the face of irresistible natural factors. What do you think?"
After hearing what I said, Zhang Wanhua felt a little heavy and looked at me and said slowly: "When I just received the training simulation cabin sent by the above, we old guys thought it was a joke. Because we had never heard of such things in the world since we started playing with guns. At the beginning, we were very curious and also ordered the troops to train carefully according to the various regulations in the training instructions. But after a while, we participated in the special combat battalion in the military region.
The news from the soldiers who were trained said that they believed that this so-called mobile armor was simply a fancy rack, not useful. At the beginning, we didn’t believe it at all. After all, this was a new weapon that the Ministry of National Defense repeatedly ordered us to strictly train and reach Class A level. However, the special battalion is the strongest combat force in our military region, and we dare not underestimate what they conveyed from the grassroots level. So after a few of our military regions, we decided to go to the army to conduct a field investigation."
"Oh? What's the result?" I became interested in listening to his words.
"The result... the result..." Zhang Wanhua shook his head in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Tell you the truth! Although these guys are usually very brave and fierce, no one can compare to them in terms of actual combat level. At that time, we did not have any combat mechas, and they were all engaged in combat training in the simulation cabin. That day, we specially arranged a 10-10 tank-to-mecha training match, and the result..." At this point, he got stuck again.
"It's okay, tell me!" The more I did this, the more curious I became. What would be the result?
"I'll say it!" Fan Youming looked at his partner's embarrassing face and couldn't help but say: "The result was 10 to 0, and the side driving the tank won a great victory."
"This is impossible, why is this happening?" After hearing this, I stood up suddenly. Yes! The designer of the mobile armor is the most clear. Even in the worst case, it means that when both arms of the mobile armor holding the weapon system are destroyed, they can rely on their inherent flexibility and mobility to escape from the battlefield safely. How could they be defeated by someone 10 to 0?
"This is indeed the case." Seeing my loss of composure, Fan Youming quickly explained: "Originally, as a new weapon issued by superiors, we were also very interested, but we didn't expect to be beaten like this by tanks during training. We also thought that there might be something wrong with the superior research department. So we ordered the troops to suspend training and find all the problems from it, and prepared to submit them to the Ministry of National Defense after the summary. Unexpectedly, you came at this time. Haha! It can be said that it was a coincidence."
"No, no, no!" My face turned red: "Don't say that, it's me wrong. I got angry without knowing the situation. After all, I was wrong. Please don't be surprised. Because Yunnan is located on the border and the Kunming Military Region is the main garrison force here. Not only you, but all the border garrison troops in the country are the first to change their clothes. So I also hope to see these new weapons as soon as possible to form combat power in your hands, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing would be the case."
"Yes!" Zhang Wanhua took the topic and said, "We didn't expect that after the competition, we thought that there might be something wrong with the system or some judgment method. After repeated inspections, no unexpected errors were found. So we continued to conduct the second-level competition test, but the results were still exactly the same. So now the entire military region shook its head when it mentioned the mobile armor, which is the biggest reason why the participants were unintentionally training."
"This is impossible." This thought suddenly appeared in my mind: "It is impossible, it is absolutely impossible for this situation to happen. Someone must have deliberately made trouble." Thinking of this, I could no longer sit still, and stood up with the table: "Can you take me to see the training cabin for the last competition now?"
The 3rd Special Service Battalion is a famous special forces unit in the Kunming Military Region. The soldiers who can enter here are all correctors for ordinary soldiers in terms of military qualities, combat abilities and personal theoretical knowledge. If they can fight 10 people with ordinary soldiers, I still believe that. But if the opponent is Jidong armor but can still achieve such excellent results, I cannot help but feel suspicious.
The 3rd Battalion's garrison was located on a mountain far from the military headquarters, and the road was not easy to walk. I pulled the jeep of several military leaders and rushed on the rugged mountain road for nearly two hours before reaching the destination at noon.
The leaders of the 3rd battalion who received the notice from the military region had already been waiting for our arrival at the barracks door. When they saw the dusty car stop there, they all came up to meet them.
When the 3rd Battalion Commander Ma Jinchao received a call from the military region that the commander was about to come down for inspection, he felt very dissatisfied and thought that this time was just a routine inspection like before. But when he saw that the people walking out of several jeeps were either colonels or major generals, the youngest was also lieutenant colonels, and there were also commanders No. 1 and No. 2 in the army. He couldn't help but be stunned. What day is today? Why did so many leaders come all of a sudden?
He was stunned, but Ma Jinchao's mind was still very clear. After coming to his senses, he immediately ordered the guards next to him: Go quickly, blow the assembly trumpet immediately, and order the entire battalion to assemble immediately. Also, you inform the kitchen team that the military leaders would have dinner here at noon, so that they could make a few more dishes, and the speed should be fast." After that, he tidied up his straight military uniform and greeted us.
A simple and programmatic introduction. After saluting, I asked the special forces battalion commander: "Let go of the rest for the time being, and take us to see your mobile armor simulation training cabin first."
The training grounds of the Third Battalion are very good. There is a hidden small door behind the barracks, which is usually not noticeable, but the light and dark firepower warning points on the surrounding cordons show that this is definitely not a place for outsiders to enter at will. Their training simulation cabin is placed here.
When I walked into the empty cave, I saw rows of neat training weapons. After notifying the management staff to turn on the simulation cabin power supply, I immediately picked up a training helmet and put it on, and tested its various functions.
The helmet has a good reception effect, the images are very clear at the same time, there is no problem with the simulation image, the operating system is also very sensitive, and the various working index displays of the simulation cabin are in the best working state. If you will get a 10-0 score by an ordinary tank in this case, I will not believe it even if you beat it to death.
Thinking of this, I called Ma Jinchao: "You will immediately draw 20 soldiers who participated in the simulated confrontation competition last time. I want to see their simulated combat records with my own eyes."
As soon as I got off the car, Ma Jinchao and several major cadres in the battalion discovered that the main task of the inspection this time was by no means the commander and political commissar, but the young guy who carried the major general's shoulder stamp. And when I saw the two commanders of the army were extremely polite to me, they couldn't help but take seriously me, a mysterious figure. But when Ma Jinchao heard that I was going to conduct a mock confrontation requirement immediately, he was a little embarrassed.
"Chief, this...is not very good!" He said embarrassedly at me.
"Why is it not good? Is there any problem?" I asked strangely.
"That's right... You see, the leaders came very late. It's already past 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and the meal time has passed. Do you think we should finish the meal first and conduct a simulated confrontation. Is this OK?"
So that's it, I smiled and said, "Haha! I didn't take this into consideration. Just do this! You arrange the simulated confrontation immediately, and now I will see the result, because this matter is of great importance. I want to see how you got the result of this tank 10 to 0 against mobile armor. As for eating, let's do it like this! If you get a few portions of dry food and water, we'll eat something here. I don't think Chief Zhang and Political Commissar Fan will have no objection."
Seeing my persistence, Ma Jinchao had no choice. So, under his arrangement, all the soldiers participating in the simulation confrontation, led by the guards, quickly arrived in front of the training cabin. According to the instructions, they entered the training cabin, put on their helmets, and started the confrontation exercise in the simulation scenario I set up personally. Several military leaders and I sat in front of the information demonstration screen on the command seat and watched with concentration.
Time flies very quickly, and the confrontation simulation exercise half an hour later was over. Zhang Wanhua and Fan Youming were right, and I saw it with my own eyes. The score was indeed 10 to 0.
The simulation screen on the screen disappeared, and the soldiers also walked out of the training cabin. Several military leaders and the main leaders of the Third Battalion did not speak, but just looked at me quietly. In fact, my military rank was the same as Zhang and Fan, and my administrative positions were about the same level. But now I have the title of Weapon Research Director, and this time I came here with the dressing plan of the 14th Army. So in their opinion, it was somewhat similar to the role of "instructor". Therefore, I only followed my general questions on ordinary issues.
Sitting on the chair in the command seat, I felt very uncomfortable. I thought the mobile armor I designed was definitely an invincible weapon on earth, and the previous military exercises and local battles also explained this. So in the subsequent several strengthening of the ability of mobile armor and upgrading and modification of the weapon system, the main energy was focused on firepower and armor protection. I didn't pay attention to several fatal mistakes that should have been paid attention to. This is why the warriors of the Third Battalion will win 10-0 today.
Seeing that the leaders did not move, I didn't say anything. The others didn't dare to do anything, so they could only look at us quietly. But Ma Jinchao, the third battalion commander who was beside Hou, couldn't stand it, and he was already hungry.
According to the normal meal time of the army, lunch can be eaten at 11:30. If Ma Jinchao feels nothing is wrong, it’s just a meal! It’s nothing great if you don’t eat, but today is different. These days, the mudslides on the mountain have washed away a training dirt road next to the barracks. In this way, the physical training performed in the camp every day has to be changed, and there are several hidden posts on the top of the mountain. Once this road crashes, the supply cannot be delivered. So last night Ma Jinchao contacted a city engineering maintenance team and asked them to help them come over to build the road. As soon as they got up in the morning,
Ma Jinchao was busy taking people to the landslide site to explain the situation to the engineering staff and help measuring the original road elevation, so he didn't have time to have breakfast. I thought I could come back for lunch, but who would have thought that at this time the military district leaders came down to inspect again. Yes, just inspect! You have to eat! But Ma Jinchao calculated it so much that I missed me. What I was most concerned about at this time was to know what method the Third Battalion used to make the mobile armor that I was proud of was falling into pieces. So I didn't have the heart to eat at all, and the military district leaders who came down with me didn't eat either. This made Ma Jinchao miserable.
"Hungry!" This is the only idea that Ma Jinchao could think of now. When the leader came to inspect the work, he should always consider the training progress of various tasks in the military camp, in case the leader asked questions at any time. But now, let alone considering work, even the most basic thinking ability seems to be gone. The most delicious foods are all wandering around in his mind. Fried liver tips, fried chicken diced chicken, braised platter, fried golden silk rings... Poor Ma Jinchao's stomach was already croaking, but he had to stand straight waiting for the instructions of his superiors. It was really a great torture!
"Xiao Zhao," Commander Zhang Wanhua might have seen that I had been thinking for a long time, so he couldn't help but pull my clothes gently: "This simulated confrontation has ended, and the time is almost over. Do you think you'll have lunch first? It's almost two o'clock."
"Oh! Yes, yes, yes," I suddenly woke up when he reminded me. Looking at a large group of people next to me, I said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, sorry. I've forgotten the time when I think about the problem, yes! Let's have dinner first, sorry, sorry."
In this way, a group of already hungry people, led by the cheerful Dima Jinchao, came to the canteen of the Third Camp.
The dishes on the table were already cold, and the kitchen was busy starting from receiving the notice from the guards sent by Ma Jinchao. Adding some dishes was not a difficult task for them, but the dish was prepared and no one came to eat them, which made them difficult. They did not dare to withdraw, and they were afraid of being too late to re-made. The answers sent to the leader to ask when he could eat were also ambiguous, so they had to wait so blankly.
The hungry person would not care about the cold and hot food. After a few polite words, everyone started to eat sweetly. This also made the face of the squad leader who was frowning for a long time look a little brighter.
Chewing on the rice that was already a little cold and hard in my mouth, the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was funny. A combat weapon with such a powerful function was actually played with by a few small soldiers like a puppet, without any power to fight back. There are very talented people in this third battalion!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "Bath Commander Ma, I want to ask. When I was training, who thought of using this method to attack mobile armor?"
Ma Jinchao, who was raising rice in his mouth with big mouth, was stunned by my question. He didn't care about the big bowl in his hand that had not yet been held steady, and quickly stood up and shouted: "Report to the leader, it is Li Xiangdong, a soldier in the second platoon of the third platoon of my battalion." Perhaps because he spoke too quickly and was eating too fast. As soon as Ma Jinchao finished speaking, he was choked and turned around and coughed. Now, everyone on the table laughed.
"Haha! Sit down and eat slowly, don't have to stand up. Now it's time to eat, don't be so nervous." I was also amused by his funny appearance and said quickly: "I'm just a little curious. People who can think of this kind of attack method should be very smart. This way! After dinner, you take me to meet this warrior."
"Speaking of this, Li Xiangdong is a soldier who makes us all have a headache." Political Commissar Fan Youming, who was chewing slowly next to him, took the speech and said, "This guy is very famous in the entire military region, but he is also a famous troublemaker."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" I became interested when I heard him say this.
Chapter completed!
