Chapter 918 Seeking the Initiative
"At present, some of our squad leaders are not good at organizing firepower, do not pay attention to battle formations, and often suffer unnecessary losses in the movement of contact with the enemy. If you are not good at using terrain and features to conceal your combat intentions, you can swarm the enemy with bravery alone. Charge, the casualties will be huge."
October 30, 1950, North Korea, southeast of Yunshan City. Three divisions of the 39th Army of the Volunteer Army hibernate among them. Because of the threat of U.S. aircraft during the day, the troops could not move and could only be repaired on the spot.
Zhou Qingfeng returned to the dungeon and found himself in this mountain range. He has changed from a chief soldier of the 40th Army to a squad leader of the 2nd Battalion of the 347th Regiment of the 116th Division of the 39th Army, and is receiving tactical training.
One of the characteristics of pla's army is that it has to learn all the time, even during battles. Every battle should be summed up, criticized and praised. As long as you survive each battle, the slime can become an elite.
After Zhou Qingfeng returned to the dungeon, his identity was that of the squad leader who had just been promoted from recruits. He dared to fight hard, but his tactical literacy was extremely lacking. He himself knew that this was the truth, so he studied it very seriously.
Five or six squad leaders and deputy squad leaders gathered around a piece of mud. The deputy platoon leader who watched the teaching explained how to implement the three-three system of combat with a wooden stick. Loose formations cover each other, but emphasis is placed on concentration of fire."
At the end of the study, the deputy platoon leader asked if there were any questions. Zhou Qingfeng immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Deputy platoon leader, our class is the sharp knife class, can we give some preferential treatment?"
"Boss Zhou, you really are a thorn." The deputy platoon leader was happy, and smashed the wooden stick in his hand, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"We want to play the main force."
"Oh, it's terrible! The activists who joined the party just have different consciousness. But your squad has a strong fighting capacity, and the battle will naturally be the main force."
"Then can you let us participate in the mission of the reconnaissance company? There are a few recruits in our squad, and I want to take them well." Zhou Qingfeng had a dark idea in his stomach, but he would not say it publicly, but actively sought a fight.
"The mission of the reconnaissance company is not easy, so forget it." The deputy platoon leader told the truth, those who can do reconnaissance missions in the PLA are all veterans.
But where would Zhou Qingfeng show weakness? He stood up abruptly, patted his chest and shouted: "The scouts are cowards, I can beat three of them by myself. As long as I lead the team, I promise to catch ten or eight of them!" When the captives come back, the enemy's situation is absolutely clear."
Zhou Qingfeng's previous achievements have been fully converted into the position of the squad leader of the sharp knife squad who was originally a platoon leader but was shrunk because of the killing and torture of prisoners. He is just an ordinary novice squad leader now, and he is not special in the eyes of others.
It's just that the squad leader of this sharp knife squad is very imposing, and he asks for a fight as soon as he comes out. He is completely a fighting maniac who will never fight without joy——Zhou Qingfeng actually wants to cry, not because I want to go to the battlefield, but because the next battle is too dangerous. If you take the initiative, you will die miserably.
It is now October 30th, and in two days until November 1st, the Battle of Yunshan will start, and the opponent will be the 1st Division of the U.S. Cavalry. This is the first time that Rabbit will discover Meiji. It depends on who will play. Guodang and Nanbang are useless people who have not mastered the essence.
And the squad leader under him is so eager to fight, the deputy platoon leader is also very happy, but it's not up to him to decide if 'Big Zhou' wants to go to the reconnaissance company.
It's just that the enthusiasm of the young squad leader couldn't be dampened. The deputy platoon leader arranged a mission for him, "Daddy Zhou, I have something for you. If you complete it, I will hand over the reconnaissance mission arranged by the superior to you."
"No matter what the task is, we guarantee it will be completed." Zhou Qingfeng stood up and issued a military order on the spot. When the superior gives the task to do it, the opportunity to perform is rare. As for whether you can do it or not...? The attitude of doing this must be good.
The deputy platoon leader moved closer, lowered his voice and said, "Didn't some of the South Korean stickmen be captured recently?
The platoon leader wanted to get an extra machine gun from his superiors, so it was up to the company commander. If you can get a machine gun from company headquarters, I'll let you do reconnaissance. "
Deputy platoon leader, you are fooling me. Is this kind of thing an ordinary squad leader can handle?
Ever since they started fighting guerrillas back then, PLA's troops have always liked to save up a little bit, so they can come in handy when they can't prepare. However, the iron rule of "credit for everything captured" cannot be violated. How to make your troops stronger and stronger will test the subjective initiative of the commanders at the grassroots level.
Besides, why is there such a thing as a machine gun?
If it were someone else, this task would definitely be blind. But as soon as Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes, his idea popped up. He approached the deputy platoon commander's ear and whispered a few words, which immediately made the other party jump up in shock.
"Big Zhou, you are quite courageous!"
"If you want a machine gun, your company doesn't have a lot of money. The platoon leader can't get it even if you cry to death. You have to find someone with a machine gun, right? There are not many places with machine guns these days, except for getting them from the enemy. We can only get it from ourselves. Don't worry, my solution will definitely work."
With Zhou Qingfeng's sure attitude, the deputy platoon leader hesitated. He pondered over and over again, then asked in a low voice: "Are you really sure?"
"Don't dare to say 100%, 70% or 80% is still fine, the key is to get me a pack of cigarettes, at least I have to get some." Zhou Qingfeng stretched out his hand, "And be quick, you have to act while it's still bright , it will be troublesome when it gets dark."
The deputy platoon leader checked that the time was still at noon, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm afraid one pack of cigarettes is not enough. I have two packs of cigarettes, you take them both."
Two packs of American cigarettes are a big investment. The other monitors who participated in the study all looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to figure out what the two of them were going to do in front of them. Seeing them muttering, it seems that they are going to do something big.
The deputy platoon leader took out two crumpled cigarette cases from his pocket, handed them to Zhou Qingfeng with great reluctance, and said sharply: "I said you boy, don't mess with me, this is my I can’t bear to part with the loot.”
"Don't worry, just look at it." Zhou Qingfeng looked at the two cigarette cases that were mostly missing, and he could only sigh in his heart. The army that can become so poor should be the only one in the world, and there is no semicolon.
Zhou Qingfeng took the cigarette and said, "If I can get two machine guns, can I save one for our class?"
"Haha..., if you really can get two sticks, it's okay to give one to your sharp knife squad. The important thing is that you don't brag." The deputy platoon leader punched Zhou Qingfeng with a fist, and only then did he know how strong this kid is. Almost like a cow.
"That's fine, I'll go right away." Zhou Qingfeng put on two packs of cigarettes, turned around and left. He returned to his squad first, and called out the "old machine gun" he had transferred from the original army with him, "Brother Machine Gun, come with me, let's go get some machine guns."
The 'Old Machine Gun' was holding his 'crooked handle', and when he heard the talk about the machine gun, he was stunned and asked, "Where can I get it?"
