Chapter 11 second quarter

"The use of strategy and tactics in the Gulf War shows that the Normandy airborne has become history." Corporal Zhang Lei of the Air Force paratrooper looked at the Go game in front of him, and smiled faintly at the paratrooper colonel in front of him. "Talk about your opinion?" Mr. Zhang raised his hand and played chess without any expression. "The paratroopers are in great danger in the first transportation link under modern air defense conditions. Even if the transport fleet rushes through the artillery fire regardless of the danger, the paratroopers have no protection in the air." Zhang Lei looked at the chessboard without nervousness, "When the surviving paratroopers landed from the massacre in the air, the paratroopers carrying only light weapons will also face the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's mechanized troops... You have made a good move."

Zhang Lei fell, and Master Zhang took a sip of tea and looked at the chess game: "You mean the airborne troops have lost the meaning of existence?" "Absolutely not." Zhang Lei raised his head, "It is foreseeable that in the future, the airborne troops will be strengthened as an important component of the rapid response force. This kind of powerful mobility and deployment capabilities are incomparable to other arms, whether it is parachute Landing or airborne, it is easy to deploy the airborne troops of the whole division to the required position in the theater. This kind of strategic maneuverability is not a joke, just like the flag I am going to fly now - if you place it correctly, you will lose. "

"So confident?" Master Zhang smiled and said, "Look at the current situation." Zhang Lei laughed aloud: "Master, you lost." He made a move and collected a large piece of white stones. "It has become a foregone conclusion-the role of small raid special forces in the war will be strengthened. It will play an absolute role in reconnaissance behind enemy lines, information guidance, etc." Zhang Lei looked at Master Zhang and said with a smile. Teacher Zhang also smiled: "But don't forget, the premise to achieve this is that your rear headquarters' information processing ability and battlefield timely command ability must achieve a certain harmony. Eating too much is easy to cause indigestion, extreme joy begets sorrow!"

He made a decisive move, Zhang Lei was startled, and the situation on the chessboard went straight down.Heizi's great situation came to an end because of this one move. Although it was not over yet, everyone knew that there was no need to play any more. "I lost." Zhang Lei smiled helplessly. "Are you still going to admit defeat?" Master Zhang laughed. "It depends on who you lose to. I'm not ashamed to lose to Lao Tzu." Zhang Lei stood up and filled Mr. Zhang's teacup with water. Master Zhang smiled and watched his 182-height son add water to himself: "Sure enough, he is more mature than before he became a soldier."

"Then you're really wrong, I haven't changed much." Zhang Lei smiled badly, "It's just that I learned to control the development of the situation, so that it is not serious enough to spread to the ears of the leaders above the battalion." "Stinky boy!" Mr. Zhang lit a cigarette, "When will you report to Luyuan?" "Of course we have to wait until school starts. Didn't Mr. Zhang ask knowingly?" Zhang Lei handed him the ashtray, "The next step is to ask me what I plan to do after graduation, right?" "If you know it, tell it yourself." Mr. Zhang looked at his overly clever son.

"I want to go to the special forces." Zhang Lei said. "Aren't our paratroopers special forces?" "That's a traditional concept." Zhang Lei said, "In the traditional concept of our army, except for infantry, all special forces are considered special forces. What I want to go is the real special forces. At present, only the army has special forces, and each military region is gradually forming its own. Special Reconnaissance Brigade." Commander Zhang was very disappointed: "What? Don't look down on the direct reconnaissance brigade of the Airborne Forces? Isn't the word 'special' missing? Vanity!"

"Vanity is the nature and patent of young people." Zhang Lei still had that confident smile on his face. "The difference between the reconnaissance brigade and the special reconnaissance brigade is definitely not just two words. This is an epoch-making change. I hope we can Participate in this change and realize your own life value." "The army is different from what you imagined. Don't overthink it." Teacher Zhang reminded him, "You are only 19 years old, and you still have a long way to go in life. The army is not an ideal kingdom. A professional soldier must have the best Besides, the airborne army will have to form its own special forces sooner or later, wouldn’t it be better for you to stay in the airborne army?”

"I can't wait." Zhang Lei said, "I'm proud of being a born paratrooper, but our army belongs to the air force. When encountering wars and border conflicts, we are used as a strategic force, and there are too few opportunities to go to the battlefield. Yes. There must be many opportunities in the special forces of the army. Besides, wouldn’t I be able to learn more when I went to the special forces of the army? After learning the strengths of the special forces of the army, I would return to the airborne troops. Wouldn’t it be good for the airborne troops? You always say Life lies in learning, I want to learn more and exercise more when I am young..."

"Okay, okay." Master Zhang stood up with a smile, "I'm afraid you want to get out of my shadow even more? Now life lies in sports, take my paratrooper boots and run five kilometers with me. Tomorrow you will go back to Xiaogan It's been a long time since I ran five kilometers with me." Outside the compound of a division headquarters of the Huangpi Airborne Forces in Hubei, two soldiers in camouflage uniforms, one old and one young, were running on the hill.The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on their faces, breathing evenly and walking at the same pace.The paratrooper boots step on the dirt road in a rhythm, like the drums of music.Master Zhang hummed "Battle Hymn of Airborne Troops" in a low voice. Zhang Lei couldn't help singing along with the familiar melody since he was a child.Master Zhang looked at his grown son with a smile, and the colonel's father and the corporal's son just smiled and looked at each other.The father and son's singing gradually became stronger and echoed in the mountains:

"The battle song is like thunder, the motor is like a roar, and the heroic paratroopers rush to the enemy's rear..."
