With the support of twenty-seven tanks of the Dragon Teeth Squad, the battle was almost one-sided. A large number of monkeys' troops were fired by machine guns when the tank turned around at the beginning. With the breakthrough of machine guns, various support firepowers such as mortars and individual bazooka were beaten very miserably.

When they realized it later, the PLA's large troops began to rush up again.

The PLA is not as equipped as theirs, and has not fought for more than ten years. Its combat experience and quality are not as good as theirs, and even its equipment is not as good as theirs! Especially after experiencing great chaos, the command system is chaotic, and without military rank, the soldiers cannot find whose orders they should be obeyed in the fierce firefighting, and even the training of the PLA is lacking.

However, the PLA's fearlessness and large numbers of people are far from comparable to monkeys.

At 11:35 am on December 16, 1977, the first large-scale battle on the Western Front of the Republic ended over ten hours.

The regular army offensive troops of seven divisions, smashed the 345th Monkey Division, destroyed the 316a Division of the Monkey Army Flag Unit and most heavy equipment on the scale of another elite heavy equipment. The casualties of the opponent were unknown, but they would definitely be even worse than those of the Republic.

The guns in the Republic are far more powerful than the US military that monkeys have been working for more than ten years.

Capturing the enemy's tanks close to three companies and guiding artillery to destroy the lurking artillery positions and armored units hidden in the primitive jungle. Such a contribution is actually a team that has not completed training!

Moreover, this team has only sixty people.

"This kind of magic is unimaginable to us, especially the two positions of the shelling. We have sent troops to guard the equipment in those areas, and at the same time encircle the regular monkeys hiding in the forest. The opponent's 316a Division has become history! Very good!" Facing the tired Dragon Tooth Warrior, Commander Yang Dezhi praised without hesitation.

Especially the more than 20 tanks captured by the other party, they can form a tank battalion!

These things are much more advanced than the 59 tank.

Not to mention anything else. Just these 125-caliber gun barrels are much larger than the 100 caliber of the Type 59 tank equipped by the Republic.

These leaders don’t understand other things, but they can still tell the power of the gun according to the caliber.

"Report to the leader, these are all what we should do! The Republic trains us to implement such people and launch a devastating blow to the enemy's strategic goals, so that they will never dare to be enemies with the Republic!" Chen Dashan was in a bad mood at this moment, and a bullet in Wang Feng's chest penetrated the lung lobes. He had been sent to the General Hospital of the Southern Yunnan Military Region in the rear by a helicopter.

This was obtained by them with such privileges. Other wounded soldiers were all in the field hospitals in the rear.

Such a huge casualties were unexpected by all the leaders.

"It's very good. You haven't let the motherland down! Let's go and rest first. We will rest for two days in the past two days, and then prepare to launch the next round of attack..." Commander Yang didn't say anything, but just nodded and asked Chen Dashan to take his troops to rest.

In this situation, it is best to pursue the victory, but unfortunately, the Republican team suffered too much casualties.

The monkey's automatic firepower was too badly beaten, especially when attacking the enemy's positions, many officers led the team to charge, which increased casualties.

The 39th Division's casualties were the most serious. Their most elite 114th Regiment was basically crippled. More than 1,000 people, including the regiment commander, died 328 people. The injuries were basically all, including more than 200 seriously injured!

Such casualties also highlight the situation of the Republic's army.

On the Monkey's Second Defense Line, there are more regular troops who have gone through a large number of actual combat.

"In this battle, everyone fought bravely, more than one day ahead of the time we expected... All of our regiment-level and above cadres held a meeting here to summarize the experience of this battle. Do you know why I chose to hold this meeting in the 39th Division rather than the front-line?" Commander Yang said with a serious face.

No one was happy with the initial praise.

This is exchanged for the life of the warrior.

"The 39th Division fought bravely. This should be reported to the General Staff and the Military Commission for praise!" The 39th Division accounted for one-third of the casualties on the entire Western Front!

"This is still an attack, and a regiment will be crippled!"

These words were like a knife. Song Mingcheng's face turned red when he was said, and he did not dare to raise his head to argue.

They still continued their past defeats, charged on a large scale, fought with their lives, and built up front positions of the enemy with their lives!

"Song Mingcheng, tell me! The experience of your division commander is worth promoting on the whole line. Share your experience with everyone so that everyone can learn and learn. The entire Western Front is the most heroic, and the main group can be destroyed by the enemy! This is still with the support of artillery!" Speaking of this, Commander Yang directly named Song Mingcheng.

Before the war began, he wanted to remove Song Mingcheng, but because of the advice of Chief of Staff Xia Shijie and worried that the temporary replacement would have a great impact before the war began. For this reason, Chief of Staff Xia Shijie stayed here, but this guy still did this according to his old experience.

Such lessons could have been avoided.

As a commander, it is the most necessary and basic to master the situation of your own troops.

"Commander, I'm wrong here too!" Xia Shijie knew that Song Mingcheng was doomed this time, and the 39th Division had basically lost its combat power. In the attack behind, he would definitely not be able to take on important tasks. He could not stop it at all.

Song Mingcheng could stop him, but he could not stop the regiment commanders and battalions commanders at the front positions.

When those guys were in a hot head, they rushed up themselves.

Especially the commander of the 115th Regiment, just after the shelling was over, he began to charge with his troops, and as a result, he ruined his life and caused more than 500 casualties in the entire regiment.

"Our troops are not trained enough, which was emphasized at the beginning. Many new recruits have not even completed basic training. Before the general attack was launched, they gave you orders to put the new recruits in the rear as reserve team. All of you follow previous experience. How can you do it in such a war situation? The seven divisions of the entire Western Front are not as effective as the five Longya teams! If they had not appeared, who could tell me how many soldiers' casualties we would need to pay in the end to take the enemy's position? Song Mingcheng, tell me? At the last moment, have you started to organize a cadre commando? Now is it mute?" said here, Commander Yang Dezhi stood up with his hands on the table.

The so-called cadre commando is actually an officer's death squad.

The 39th Division has always had a tradition of using elite troops to attack the enemy's strong lines.

Once the enemy's defense line is broken and the gap is opened, the war will undergo a fundamental change.

"Commander, I was wrong, request punishment!" Song Mingcheng had nothing to say at this moment. What else could he do besides requesting punishment?

"If you don't ask, I will punish you. From today on, don't be the commander of the 39th Division. Go to the Logistics Management Office! Other matters will be handled after the war!" Commander Yang Dezhi's little eyes widened, and he dared to do it. He really thought it could not be handled?

Song Mingcheng replied yes in a low voice and said nothing.

After looking around the many division commanders, Commander Yang did not make too much trouble on this issue.

Today's meeting is to summarize the lessons learned, let these guys remember these lessons and avoid such situations on a large scale in subsequent wars. When various disadvantages are exposed, they must be resolved, otherwise the casualties on the Western Front will be even more serious.

"Commander, our artillery fell into our own positions several times while supporting us. Fortunately, there were no casualties..."

"Commander, our automatic firepower is insufficient, I hope to equip us with more automatic weapons..."

"Commander, many of our soldiers have not undergone strict training, and do not know the simplest tactical movements of some new recruit companies. Many soldiers are so scared that they dare not emerge when they hear the sound of cannons..."

Many senior officers had already summarized the battle of their troops before coming here, and the various exposed disadvantages are summarized here.

To sum up, the troops are not trained enough, and the automatic firepower is not as good as the opponent. Individual support weapons such as mortars are insufficient, especially the artillery lacks training, and many front-line troops dare not call for artillery fire support. This is a fact that it has to be admitted. The soldiers' grenades are not thrown far away, which is also caused by lack of training.

These situations were well recorded by the clerks, and they had to change these problems in the war.

The reason why the Republic decided to fight this war was to test the true combat effectiveness of the troops.

Once these situations are effectively solved, the combat effectiveness of the army can be greatly improved. Especially now, the shelling of the late stage was not enough ammunition, and four artillery clusters were allocated to cover the shelling from both sides, and the six-kilometer front became relatively sparse.

When we arrived at the back, there were insufficient shells on the front line...

I suffered a loss on the Western Front battlefield, but I gave the PLA too much experience and lessons.

The dazzling performance of the Dragon Teeth Team made this contrast stronger.

Commander Yang Dezhi discussed with the division commanders and chiefs of staff and decided to start from now on, while carrying out missions, and let Longya train all their scouts in a concentrated manner. In this way, he would not suffer any losses in the war and country later.

And when faced with the tanks seized by Dragon Teeth, they became the subject of discussion at the final meeting.

Everyone wants to equip this thing into their own teacher! (To be continued...)

ps: Brothers, the third update is here.

Monthly tickets! Continue to ask for monthly tickets! Don’t keep the top six like last time. As long as we are in the top six, it doesn’t matter whether it is fifth or sixth.

I just want to keep the gourd!
Chapter completed!
