The battalion commander is now in a hurry. The opponent only has two companies in total. He not only dispatches four combat companies, but also has an artillery company to support at any time. If necessary, he can even dispatch a support company.
In the past, I would never have dared to think about this kind of battle where Lin Yi was several times more powerful than the enemy. Why did Lin Yi still fight so timidly after he came up? If he hadn't known about Lin Yi's great military exploits, he would have withdrawn Lin Yi long ago.
I pushed it up myself.
So he spoke resolutely: "Give Deputy Battalion Commander Lin an order so that he does not need to conduct too much reconnaissance. Opportunities cannot be missed and will never be regained. Taking the initiative is the most important thing for him to do."
In a battalion, the status of the battalion commander is unquestionable. No one can refute the orders he gives. Naturally, the correspondent did not dare to neglect and sent the battalion commander's orders to Lin Yi intact.
Lin Yi saw such a tough battalion commander and knew how anxious he was. He sighed helplessly: "The battalion commander really acted too hastily."
But once a tough order was given, Lin Yizai would be considered to be violating it if he delayed. He had no choice but to look at the four company commanders: "Let's go first."
When the chief of staff of the director's department saw the frontline troops of the third battalion dispatched, he turned to look at Brigadier Duan: "What do you think of the third battalion commander?"
Brigadier Duan did not answer the Chief of Staff's words, but his lack of answer did not mean that he did not comment on the Third Battalion Commander in his heart.
First of all, he did not think that the third battalion commander was wrong. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the principle of not missing an opportunity. Danger and opportunity were always directly proportional.
Moreover, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are useless.
Especially now that the third battalion's combat effectiveness is unprecedentedly strong, there is nothing wrong with taking the initiative to attack when knowing that the enemy's troops are insufficient.
On the other hand, Lin Yi, with such a large number of troops, was still timid in fighting. He was indeed a little too cautious.
But if he was forced to compare the two, in Brigadier Duan's mind, Lin Yi could basically kill the Third Battalion Commander to death.
Some people may wonder, doesn’t Brigadier Duan have a good feeling for the Third Battalion Commander? Why can Lin Yi kill the Third Battalion Commander to pieces?
First of all, war is not a game. It is a real war that will involve bloodshed and sacrifices. As the saying goes, a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength. It is extremely naive for you to regard a unilateral war as a game of stacking troops.
The battlefield environment is changing rapidly, and the advantage in front of you may turn into a disadvantage in an instant. Needless to say, the equipment of both sides is almost the same. In terms of familiarity with the battlefield environment, the opponent will be a hundred times better than you. You cannot just look at your own advantages.
It is never wrong to ignore the advantages of others and pay attention to the enemy tactically. Only by objectively analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves can we launch fierce attacks accordingly.
In his eyes, it is extremely unwise to chase enemy troops in the middle of the night. Night and day are two completely different environments.
Some people may think that since everyone is equipped with night vision devices now, the night vision conditions at night are not bad.
First of all, we must be clear that not everyone in our army is equipped with night vision devices. The price of a military portable night vision device is enough to equip an infantry squad.
To put it bluntly, this is definitely the most expensive equipment for an individual soldier. No matter what, it is impossible to equip one person with one. Unless you are a special forces, that is another matter. But if you want to train a qualified
The cost of special forces itself is also terrifyingly high.
There is currently no comparison between the two.
Thirdly, even if night vision devices have been popularized by individual soldiers, so what? The scene in the night vision environment is completely different from the scene under sunlight. If you have the opportunity to experience it, you will know.
The difference is really huge. Unless you have specialized training, if you want to use it as a convenience tool, its practicality is not as good as a small flashlight.
But the current situation is that the enemy is going to take advantage of the darkness to lure you into taking the bait, but you can't wait any longer. The result waiting for you will definitely not be good.
Brigadier Duan looked at the chief of staff at this time and said: "Don't ask me such directional topics. You are the chief of staff of the director's department. You have seen far more officers than me. Our army has nine brigades.
, each brigade has as few as seven battalions and as many as nine battalions. I am afraid you have seen all kinds of battalion commanders, and you should already have the answer in your heart."
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Commander Duan, look at you, I asked you a question sincerely, but you still think I'm tricking you. Okay, let me start with my opinion on the Third Battalion Commander.
First of all, I have to admit that he is an excellent synthetic battalion commander, but when it comes to the heavy-armed synthetic battalion commander, his current performance is undoubtedly quite satisfactory. You have to be clear, the word "fair" is used to describe a heavy-armed synthetic battalion commander.
Battalion, this has a somewhat derogatory connotation, especially since the third battalion is a heavily equipped synthetic battalion personally trained by Brigadier Meng of b brigade, and its status as the main battalion is absolutely unquestionable.
What is a main force battalion? That is, the best equipment is given to him first, and the best soldiers are given priority to him for selection. Only the manpower and material resources he selects will be given to other troops.
In my senses, this unit should be like the alpha wolf among the wolves, with absolute judgment and guidance. However, the current impression given to me by the commander of the third battalion is that he is only suitable for an ordinary combined battalion.
From the current situation, he is definitely not perfect for the position of commander."
This analysis coincides with that of Brigadier Duan. I believe that other leaders who have watched this training will also have the same idea. Therefore, Brigadier Duan does not want to get entangled in this recognized issue, but throws out a question with the characteristics
Controversial figure: "Then do you think Lin Yi, the deputy commander of the Third Battalion, is qualified to lead the heavily armed combined force of the Third Battalion?"
When the chief of staff heard this, he grinned: "Are you trying to trick me now? But it doesn't matter. I was born to eat this kind of rice. If I have to be timid even when criticizing, then I am not worthy of being in this director's department.
Chief of Staff.
Let me tell you my conclusion first. Lin Yi is definitely a famous general. If he is given enough room to grow, his future is limitless, and it is possible for him to even surpass you and me."
When Brigadier Duan heard this, he said: "You have such a high opinion of him. You have never been a general, so it is too hasty to say that he is a general."
The chief of staff smiled: "My eyes are very sharp. But if you ask me now whether Lin Yi can lead the heavily-armed synthetic battalion of the Third Battalion, my opinion is negative, he will definitely not be able to lead it.
"
This sudden turn of events made Brigadier Duan curious and said, "I'm really gasping for breath when I hear you talk. Please analyze to me why Lin Yi, who you praise to the heavens and can even be a general, can't even manage a third battalion."
