1942, I lived on hunting

Soon the results and spoils of war were basically counted. The rest were still buried under the rubble or blown to pieces, which was really hard to count. Soon someone came with a list to report to the superiors:

In this operation, our army suffered no casualties, but 14 were injured, two of whom were seriously injured. The serious injuries were caused by one falling while climbing a cliff, one being hit by a stray bullet, and the rest were mostly hit by the debris flying around during the explosion or falling during night operations.

The leader of the operation listened to the report briefly and was very satisfied with the operation led by Li Hao and the special operations team. He was very happy with the achievements made by everyone. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity and the time now, he sat down with Li Hao and the special operations team and asked Li Hao and others to share their experience and summarize the gains and losses of this operation.

Li Hao: "Overall, this operation was a success. I don't deny that. I know that everyone is very happy and proud of their achievements, but I still have to spoil the fun and pour a bucket of cold water on you.

First of all, the choice of target. I have said before that we should never attack the enemy's strong fortresses or engage in trench warfare or positional warfare. It is obviously not appropriate to target the bandit stronghold with thousands of soldiers stationed and defended by strong fortresses. However, on the one hand, these bandits have gone too far and committed heinous crimes, and they deserve death. Moreover, their military discipline is lax and their work style is lax. They can be described as a mob. On the other hand, we should indeed train our troops. So the choice of target this time was just an accident. We should try to avoid it next time. If we can't avoid it, we should change the way of hit and run. Once we are trapped in such an environment and besieged, we will basically end up annihilated.

The key is that the value of this target is too low and is not proportional to the special operations team. The special operations team should look for more valuable and more critical targets instead of wasting energy on such small characters.

Secondly, the means of attack are weak. In my opinion, when attacking such targets, special forces should focus on reconnaissance, and guide artillery or aircraft to bomb directly after positioning, rather than approaching and placing explosives. Special forces should not be used in this way. I know that we cannot achieve what I said with our current conditions, but this is the future trend and an area where we need to improve. The lack of conditions today does not mean that there will be no conditions in the future.

Then there is the problem of communications. Although we have a radio, the communication between groups and between individual soldiers is still not smooth enough. When I want to command a certain group, I either send someone to convey the message or run over to command it myself. It is not only inconvenient for people to run around on the battlefield, it is also quite dangerous. Therefore, the communication problem is also an aspect that special operations teams must improve in the future.

I will discuss other minor issues with coordination and equipment when we return to training, so I won’t waste your time here. ”

Instructor: "As a real-combat training operation, this operation was undoubtedly successful, but it also exposed a lot of problems. We are an experimental team that is supposed to provide ideas and models for the future development of the troops. We have to hold ourselves to the most stringent standards.

Ask yourself, if we had not had Li Hao's help and leadership, would we have been able to successfully complete the mission? If we had not had the equipment provided by Li Hao, would we have been able to complete the mission? Even if we could have completed it, at what cost?

Especially the silent attack on the third to last bunker, it was a mess. There were obviously people sleeping in the bunker, why didn't you notice? Did you really not notice or were you careless? Why did you arrange personnel to guard the last two bunkers, and the attack here was exposed, but you didn't take action to attack the last two bunkers immediately? What about your reaction ability? Instead, the two bunkers fired randomly and forced you to retreat? If it weren't for this, the soldier at the foot of the mountain wouldn't have been hit by stray bullets! Whoever is in charge of guarding, please submit a self-examination to me later, and you must reflect deeply and recognize your mistakes. I will organize a meeting to let you make self-examinations later. "

Qian Guzi: "As the direct commander of the silent attack operation, I have to take the main responsibility for the mistakes that occurred in this operation. Li Hao and the captain are right. Although our operation was successful, there were many problems and it was also a fluke. So next I will deeply review my mistakes, and I also hope that everyone will guard against arrogance and impatience, work together to find problems and correct them, so that our combat effectiveness can be further strengthened."

Others also wanted to speak up and review their mistakes, but were stopped by their leaders.

Leader: "I didn't expect that! I thought you were going to share experiences, but how did it turn into a review meeting?

Hearing you say this, I am really proud of you!

It's not just because you defeated the strong with the weak and achieved unprecedented results, nor is it just because we conquered the enemy's strong fortress that had been built for many years without any casualties, but because of your spirit of not getting cocky because of some good results, but being neither arrogant nor impatient, and striving for excellence. It is said that the spirit of hard work and perseverance is valuable, but I think your spirit is even more valuable.

Next, you should summarize the problems and reflect on them. Don't feel too much psychological burden. I will report your achievements to the superiors and arrange rewards for you. After all, we won, and we won beautifully. We didn't lose. Don't be so stern! We should celebrate when we get back. It's almost the New Year. We can arrange a good meal! If you need anything, just send a telegram and I will arrange it for you. "
