Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Han Xiaobei remembered the solemn words and did not argue with Li Haiou, so he chose to smile and passed.

The next thing is to hold a meeting, the content is lacklustre, just introduce these cadres who are currently on duty, and briefly introduce the current situation of the special warfare brigade.

What Han Xiaobei was most concerned about was the mentality of veteran cadres like Li Haiou and their understanding of special operations.

The history of the development of the special operations concept in China is still very short, and it can only be traced back to the two-mountain battle in the 80s. At that time, each military region selected reconnaissance elites from various units to form a front-line reconnaissance brigade. Set up a special brigade at the military level.

That was the embryonic form of the PLA's first special operations unit.

It is wrong for some people to include the armed forces behind enemy lines in the Anti-Japanese War and the reconnaissance companies during the War of Liberation into the special operations history of the PLA, because in the PLA at that time, units of this nature had not yet broken away from the scouts and guerrillas. In essence, even the concept of special operations has not been formed.

Therefore, the Chinese Army in this period has not really grasped the essence of special forces operations.

After the establishment of the special brigades at the military region level, they entered the development period of the 90s. During this period of development, each of the seven military regions set up a greater or lesser number of special brigades or scout brigades.However, compared to the size of the army, China's special forces back then were pitifully small.But soon, the major military branches also began to prepare their own special forces, and finally formed the special forces of the seven major military regions and the four major branches of the Army, Sea and Air Artillery, which was the embryonic form of the Chinese special forces for a long time.

Therefore, for a cadre of an infantry unit like Li Haiou, it is difficult to understand the difference between special warfare and reconnaissance.

Regarding the question raised by Han Xiaobei, unlike other cadres, Li Haiou somewhat avoided the direct answer, but chose to state his own opinion.

"I've made up for special operations these days and read a lot of books." Li Haiou is still very satisfied with his learning attitude, and said with confidence: "Actually, I found that special operations and our traditional scouts The majors are very similar in nature. That's about the same!"

His point of view made Han Xiaobei who was sitting dumbfounded.

However, the purpose of his meeting this time is to find out the bottom line, not to teach Li Haiou and others here. You must know that it is difficult for a cadre who grew up in an infantry regiment to adapt his inherent concepts in a short time.

"Special operations does have some professional elements of reconnaissance in it."

He smiled, and then cryptically corrected: "However, there are three specific elements in special operations, one is target-specific, the second is strength-specific, and the third is attribute-specific. The biggest difference lies in the third specificity, the traditional scout principle The above missions tend to be 'reconnaissance', while special operations are more 'combat', that is to say, it belongs to the action of armed Lilang to attack and resist the opponent, but there is still a limitation on its attributes, that is, 'special', That is to say, the means adopted are 'unconventional', compared with scouts, its attack attributes are stronger."

Li Haiou thought for a while, and he felt that Han Xiaobei in front of him could analyze so many things after listening to his own words.

However, he still refused to admit that he knew nothing about special operations, and said with a laugh: "I think it's almost the same. We scouts also want to break the attack and launch an attack. It is essentially a thing, but it is just a function. How many questions."

Han Xiaobei didn't want to persuade the other party either, so the meeting ended after a few people chatted.

Li Haiou sent Han Xiaobei back to his family area, where there was a house for him to use.

Along the way, Li Haiou asked Han Xiaobei where his family was and how old his children were. At the end of the question, he said that he had been in the army all these years, and his wife didn’t live together because of work problems, so they only saw each other once a week. Ask Han Xiaobei to move his family members here. After all, his rank is high enough, and the local government has a policy of supporting the army, so it can be arranged.

Regarding Li Haiou's enthusiasm, Han Xiaobei nodded and smiled, saying yes, thinking that this Li Haiou is really as straightforward as his old squad leader said!Just now, he had been ambiguous about his arrival just now, but now, he confides with himself without any leeway, he is a strange person.

When he arrived at the destination, Li Haiou got out of the car and said to Han Xiaobei: "This car is for you, and the driver Xiao Yang will follow you in the future. If you need to call the driver class to find him, he will be there whenever you are called. "

The two said goodbye, Han Xiaobei went upstairs, and the driver Xiao Yang helped bring up the little luggage before leaving.

Han Xiaobei stopped him and said that he would give him a car key, he might use the car for an indefinite time, so he wouldn't call him when it was inconvenient.

Xiao Yang quickly said that his duty is to drive the chief of staff, and I will be there whenever you call.

After resigning, Han Xiaobei stopped talking, and seeing that it was still early, he put down his luggage and asked Xiao Yang to take him to the grassroots company to have a look.

Xiao Yang asked him where are you going?
Han Xiaobei said: "Which company in the brigade is training the best?"

Xiao Yang asked: "What aspect are you talking about, Chief of Staff?"

Han Xiaobei said: "Training level and training facilities."

What he thought was to see the whole picture, to see the best-trained company.

The level of the best-trained company is already the ceiling of the brigade's current training level.

Xiao Yang said without hesitation: "Of course it is Silian."

Han Xiaobei asked, "Is it Company of Heroes?"

Xiao Yang said: "Well, before the reorganization, it was called the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters. Now half of them are soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion, and half are soldiers from the original Fourth Company. They are the company under the Tiger Regiment of our Captain Li Haiou. They used to be trained by our E Division. The best and hardest company. There are many top talents in their company, but now there is only one acting platoon leader named Hou Jun, and the rest have gone to the synthetic brigade."

Han Xiaobei didn't say much, and pointed out the door: "Then you take me to see it now."

Xiao Yang said: "Chief, don't you go to the small canteen of the brigade headquarters for lunch? It's almost lunch time."

Han Xiaobei smiled and said, "Eat it wherever you want, if you can't, just eat it at Silian, it's not bad for my pair of chopsticks, is it?"

Xiao Yang felt that the new chief of staff was quite interesting in his speech, without any airs.

So he drove Han Xiaobei to Silian.

The fourth company is not far from the brigade headquarters, less than two kilometers away, less than ten minutes away.

After getting out of the car, Han Xiaobei took a look around, and found that the training ground here is really big enough, and the location is also good, there are mountains and flat land, but there are only ordinary 400 meters obstacle courses and traditional bombing grounds on the training ground. In order to truly build a special warfare company, it is necessary to build a variety of special warfare training grounds, which is not a small project.

Suddenly there was gunfire in the distance.

Han Xiaobei looked in the direction of the shooting range and knew that someone was shooting there.

No wonder the training ground was empty.

The soldier on duty ran over, saluted politely, and asked, "Who is the chief looking for?"

Han Xiaobei said, "Where's your company commander?"

The officer on duty pointed to the direction where the gunshots came from: "He's gone to the shooting range. Our company is shooting today. Do you want me to inform the company commander to come and see you?"

Han Xiaobei waved his hand: "I'll just go and have a look myself."
