Chapter 502 The Brigadier's Cold Water

This kind of basic information does not need to be repeated by the chief of staff to Lin Yi here. You, Lin Yi, are just a deputy battalion commander. Looking at the entire conference room, your grade is the lowest.

But since the chief of staff said that, the meaning is obvious, that is, I am very optimistic about Lin Yi. In his heart, Lin Yi's status is far higher than that of the battalion commanders present here.

Several battalion commanders also understood that Lin Yi's ability was too outstanding, and it was only normal for him to be taken seriously.

After finishing the basic information, the chief of staff looked at everyone, "I didn't keep you here for the post-war inventory, and the inventory work will be done slowly. This meeting is mainly to talk about the biggest mistake you have made. Let's start with the third battalion first, as the winners, you have this priority."

The third battalion commander stood up quickly after hearing this, but before he could speak, the chief of staff said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, let's talk first."

These words made the commander of the third battalion unable to step down immediately, so he had to sit down quickly. Lin Yi knew that this was because the leaders were a little dissatisfied with the commander of the third battalion, but he had no choice. They were all touched. As the battalion commander, do you still have the face to be the first to speak?
Lin Yi quickly stood up and said, "My biggest mistake was not cooperating with the battalion commander and doing a good job of guarding the battalion, which led to the surprise attack on the battalion headquarters."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Yi is taking the blame for the commander of the third battalion. Deputy brigade commander Chen couldn't help but interjected, "Deputy battalion commander Lin, you don't need to be so humble. The headquarters of the third battalion was attacked by surprise." At that time, you led the third company and were harassing the troops outside the fourth battalion. What blame did you give to your battalion commander? His mistakes made him pay for himself. He can't bear this responsibility, and he can still do a good job as a battalion commander. ?"

Brigadier Meng also said: "Xiao Lin, don't be a good person. We have a meeting here at night, not to talk about these trivial things. Tell me about your shortcomings when you led the third battalion to fight, or did you make any mistakes? Something obvious wrong, etc."

Now that we're talking about this, Lin Yi doesn't want to change the topic casually, "I think the biggest shortcoming of the third battalion in the process of fighting against the enemy is that they are too conservative, or they can fight against the enemy. It is said that the special warfare battalion failed to be wiped out in the outer positions of several battalions, but it was delayed with the special warfare battalion for an extra week, which is too inappropriate."

As soon as these words came out, all the battalion commanders were stunned. Are you still playing conservatively in the third battalion?

Let’s not talk about sending troops to the battalions to support them, let’s talk about fighting external enemies. Your third battalion is also the most aggressive. In the end, you even used tricks to lure the special warfare fourth company out to carry out encirclement and suppression. If you are like this If the fight is still conservative, what kind of fight should be called aggressive?
This cheered up the chief of staff, "Please elaborate."

Lin Yi nodded, "Actually, in terms of military strength, the strength of our four battalions is far superior to that of the special warfare battalion, not only in terms of strength, but also in weapons and equipment, but why can they be beaten like this by a mere battalion? ? That is playing too conservatively.

I won't talk about the other battalions, I'll just talk about our three battalions.There are 800 people in our third battalion, and the weapons and equipment are excellent to the teeth.But the enemies on our periphery were only over 200 at full count. If we could have stopped at that time and had a good fight with them, we would not have been harassed for so many days later, and the battalion headquarters would not have been stolen.

Passive defense is never better than active attack. As long as you hurt them and scare them, they will definitely not provoke you casually, and this defense is naturally the most successful. "

The chief of staff nodded, "This principle is simple to say, but it is really difficult to implement, especially the fifth and sixth battalions. During the first night of combat, more than half of the troops were lost. This kind of casualties seem to be overwhelming. People are shocked."

Deputy Brigadier Chen also quite agrees with Lin Yi's style of play, not so much because he agrees, but as a kindred spirit, because Lin Yi's style of play is quite similar to his own special warfare brigade's usual practice, so he naturally has a good opinion of this This tactic is extremely appreciated.

But Brigadier Meng expressed a different opinion, "Chief of Staff, although Lin Yi used to be my assistant, his combat style is different from mine.

I have always sought stability. I believe that stability is the most important thing in modern warfare. The risky tactics of soldiers are essentially correct, but your tactics are unique, and it is difficult to make waves in the face of BVR attacks.

As a battalion-level chief officer, Lin Yi's view of the overall situation is naturally the best, but as a leader of a grassroots organization, he can't act like a commando and company chief officer, personally leading people to charge.

What Lin Yi said about fighting too conservatively meant that the number of charges of the third battalion was too small, and they didn't dare to push up the troops in large numbers. Lin Yi, am I right? "

Lin was a little surprised when he saw that the brigade commander who was supposed to support him took the initiative to provoke him, but he nodded, "The brigade commander is right, I just want to push up the troops in large numbers."

Brigadier Meng asked: "Then have you thought about a problem? Your combat troops are all overwhelmed, who will be responsible for the safety of your logistics and technical troops? Just rely on a guard platoon? But this guard platoon has a battalion The headquarters can't even hold it, how many troops do you expect them to hold?"

Lin Yi scratched his head, "But our large army has pressed up, so why would they have other troops to attack?"

Brigadier Meng smiled, "Why don't you take the third company to stab someone's tail and not allow them to beat you? If I were the commander of the special warfare battalion, as long as you dare to overwhelm the large troops, I will definitely kill you in the shortest possible time." If you eat up your logistics within a short period of time, then you will face the dilemma of no food and no ammunition. What should you do then?
And I can clearly say that the Special Forces Squadron did have a support unit at the beginning. You didn't feel it because the fifth and sixth battalions exposed too many flaws. Your battalion and the fourth battalion fought relatively steadily. They don't eat meat, so they don't come to you, but once you fight aggressively and show your flaws, they will come over and bite you like a wolf smelling fishy. "

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yi was startled into a cold sweat. If this was the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Suddenly Lin Yi remembered that when he took the second company and the third company to support the fifth and sixth battalions, there was indeed a squad of special forces who fled to the fourth battalion.

At that time, I wondered why only one class passed, and the rest?
Later, I figured out that the remaining special forces were going to blow up the reservoir, but I never thought about it. Why didn't they go together to blow up the reservoir instead of dividing into another squad?
Now that I think about it, this special forces squad must be a support force wandering around.
