What is defense
Any attack sooner or later goes on the defensive. Even if you - weapon offensive, group breakthrough, you have to consolidate on temporary frontiers. Any clash is just short pieces of attack and defense, alternating with each other.
This section is about building a defense.
Estimating the views of some modern generals not conducting local conflicts, one wonders at their stupidity. For example, recently the idea of a “bunker psychology” in defense has been popular in spetsnaz circles. Allegedly, fortified defensive cells, pillboxes and billets connected between each other by trenches and passages of the message, lead to the demoralization of the fighters. There is a fear of “sticking your head out”, entrenched troops are afraid to leave the life-shelter shelter and, inactive, give the enemy a decisive initiative. If you happen to study this course, you will have the disadvantages of creating a defense as such. The advantage of a separate gap for each fighter without a connecting passage with another gap, ostensibly in the fact that the soldier will be forced to leave his gap, go to the surface, and therefore less afraid. That's bullshit.
Let us recall how not so long ago - in 1996 - Salman Raduyev's gang, after a daring raid on Kizlyar, fortified itself in the village of Pervomayskoye, dug many trenches there and, having only 250 fighters, held the settlement for a week. Our special forces, with a numerical advantage, stormed the village for a week, suffering catastrophic losses. Having captured up to 2/3 of the village in some attacks, with the onset of darkness, not having time to consolidate their position, the special forces received orders to retreat in order to attack the positions abandoned in the evening again at dawn. Pervomayskoye itself was surrounded by a dense ring of Internal Troops. The village was constantly shelled artillery, and was processed periodically aviation. A detachment of highlanders, the size of an infantry battalion, defended against the most elite special groups in Russia, and then broke through the breakthrough. So much for “bunker thinking.” Kulikov’s comment, then the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is curious: “... well, bandits run away from prisons, there the wall has been built for years, and here it’s been in the field, it’s impossible to close in a week!” In the future, in the chapter ADVANCE we will analyze that any special forces for the assault on a fortified village with regular troops is not intended in principle.
Remember! It is very important to know from whom you are defending! If you are attacked by police units of enemy states, cause damage to the infantry. The police are very sensitive to the loss of manpower. The loss of the entire 5% of the fighters will cause their attacks to choke for the entire period of finding out the reasons and writing hundreds of reports. In the regular army, the percentage of tolerable losses comes to 25%. Even after losing a quarter, they can step back, regroup, and again after a few hours begin the assault.
The simplest trench will put you out of reach of a helicopter. Its uncontrollable missiles NURs have too small a caliber to cause harm to dug-in infantry. Helicopters are afraid to fly close to defensive positions, they shoot back from afar, at an acute angle to the dug trenches. At the same time, there is an order of magnitude more noise than effect. They are forced to keep a distance due to their high vulnerability to anti-aircraft systems, especially camouflaged ones that have a defensive position. DShK, the UTES system, the simplest NSVT, and even the Granik are a serious threat to a helicopter that flies out near the positions. The only protective factor for it is distance.
Remember! For ground forces, the turntable is dangerous only on the march! The entrenched infantry is stronger and he is afraid of you!
this is the defense of suckers
Dig trenches in height and without parapet. Take away all the dug earth if there is time. Do not be lazy, collect all the soil and take it to hell. Modern optics and shooting accuracy have grown so much that the methods of constructing trenches from the time of the Great Patriotic War are definitely not suitable for us. Why do we stick this chewed cake completely incomprehensibly ?! No sandbags, no mounds of turf, no concrete or logs! Everything should be perfect! Absolutely natural! I saw with my own eyes asphalt roads intersected by a narrow slit half a meter wide. And no dumps, so from a distance of 100 meters the trench is not visible at all! Trenches without a parapet, zigzagged like saw teeth, with built-in bunkers with perfect disguise as a terrain and covered burrows - a serious threat to the advancing troops. I repeat once again, no masketi, weed and stuck bushes, otherwise you will be shot Tanks. Their accuracy is amazing. With five kilometers, the tank direct fire hits the machine gun nest. Why mark it with a bag of sand or a conspicuous parapet ?!
Dot so they dug before so fight in world war.
Picture 1. A modern tank slams in this piece of iron from the first shot from 5000 meters. From this piece of iron you will shoot at 500 meters.
Picture 2. These well-visible parapet, you will not disguise under any circumstances, it will still be visible. 10 snipers with powerful rifles from a distance of 1000 meters will not allow to raise their heads.
Picture 3. Such a structure in modern wars will not be attacked by infantry. These excavations will be noticed by scouts, pilots, or satellites, then the enemy will deploy the battery and, with the 15000, will smash all the direct hits.
Where to build a defense? It can be any significant place, a bridge, a narrow passage, the dominant height, and of course the settlement.
300 Spartans defending themselves from King Xerxes I, blocked a narrow passage in the mountains. The width of the front was a few people. Fighting 20 on 20, Darius, the attacker of the Spartans, lost his main advantage - numerical superiority. The lack of opportunity for maneuver led to the fact that a huge army simply crowded behind the combatants, unable to make a contribution. The Spartans, having, moreover, better personal preparedness, could bring the tired front row of fighters out of the clash, replacing it with those who had rested from the back rows. Conducting such a rotation, the Spartans constantly had in the front row of more fresh and high-quality soldiers. This determined the success of the battle.
In modern conditions, the enemy can use the attack "waves" - throw into battle one after the other small units of one whole. Let's say a company of soldiers with a tank and an 5 BMP. Having started the battle and having fired out their own ammunition, the first company exhales and is ready to retreat, but because of their back the second flies out and with great tenacity and not shot by the ammunition goes for a breakthrough. Such "waves" can alternate several times. By the last wave, the first company will already be able to recharge and be ready for the second attempt. But such tricks can be thrown out only by a regular army, and only if your defense has already been unmasked. In the meantime, you have not noticed, sit quietly and maximize admit the enemy. If you have built a good defense, then from 100 meters the enemy will not see it.
If possible, be sure to stick mines in front of the line of defense. Any: self-made, anti-farm frogs, stretch marks, anti-tank land mines, MON - directed fragmentation mine, or a TV with legs. Stretching medium strength often explodes on its own. Very dangerous OZM-3 (frog stretching)! In common people - "flying meat grinder". Issues a double blast, necessarily - corpses. Hand stretch grenades, more for the demoralizing effect, the force of the explosion is very small, the characteristic click of the fuse is 3 seconds before the explosion. Help, if used in large quantities. Push action anti-tank bombs with sensitive antennae. Torn off pieces of the tank, carry all the infantry behind the tank. Very dangerous.
Any mines in front of the line of defense are very useful. Despite the effectiveness of this defense resource, the commanders of the attacking troops constantly ignore its power and drive subordinates to death. Use it! Mines terrify the enemy and protect you. Having tied up in a minefield, having fallen under heavy fire at close range, any opponent will roll back to the next day.
How many scouts fell in the mountains of the Caucasus from mines, only God knows.
Stage 2. The first assault attempt failed, however, your line of defense was opened by the enemy. Your actions are a maneuver!
In addition to passive defense, there is a “shunting defense”. The first onslaught snapped down, the enemy suffered losses, began to respect you, and now he is preparing plans for retribution. Send scouts to know the plans of the enemy. He attacks, and therefore poorly prepared for defense. You can easily penetrate and crawl through their positions. The purpose of intelligence is to find out what forces the enemy is pulling up.
In any case, they will start bombing you, but it is much worse if they start bombarding you with mortars. Range 6300 meters, calibers 80mm, 120 mm. Howitzers - up to 20 km and more. Tanks 120 mm - range 6000 m. Heavy flamethrowers.
If the enemy is going to destroy you at a distance, and your shooting range is not enough for a retaliatory strike, start maneuvering. Leave on the positions of snipers. Let the remaining forces move to spare, unknown to the enemy frontiers, with the possibility of returning back. Accuracy of modern weapons will play into your hands. Take the main body of the fighters literally 200 meters from the lighted position, and the enemy will plow through empty trenches. The infantry is very tenacious! Remember movies about the Great Patriotic. It seems everything is mixed up, baked and died from shelling and / or bombing, but no, the soldiers are in the dust, but ready to fight. It's true. A person withstands more pressure than concrete buildings. And when the building itself shatters into pieces, people die mostly from heavy debris, and not from the cause of the destruction of the house.
You need courage. From heavy land mines, spontaneous emissions of fecal masses can occur, and the soul fly off a couple of meters and is near, but not inside you. Very scary - 500 kg bombs, shelling by howitzers, heavy mortars. The trajectory of these charges is clearly on top, mounted, and, therefore, directly on the head. Shrapnel can be used - white smoke in the sky; isobaric, isothermal, vacuum charges - atomic mushroom in miniature. There is no salvation from this last one, and your entire defense will soar into the sky. But hope for the best.
fight in the city
If you need to move away, then move away. Do not sit stupidly on the spot, if you move away in the city, let the enemy get bogged down, believe, few people will guess to gain a foothold, they will push to the last. And then counterattack!
A swarm of defenses from the building to the building, from the basement to the basement, across the streets. All the sand covered with sand is hidden. Equip covered caches. Machine gun points set at ground level, even in remote yards. The lower the firing point, the better. By sacrificing the shelling sector - you get a surprise. Equip shooting positions in the depths of the premises, a sniper, shooting from the depths of the premises, from a distance of 2 meters and more from the window, gets a natural silencer. Such a sniper is very difficult to track down. We saw in the movie, as a sniper put a rifle on the window sill - it's fuckers. They did not participate in sniper duels. Shoot the darkness of the deep room! Explain to each subordinate the sector of fire, where the reserve position, and when to open fire.
If the enemy’s attack drowned, immediately activate, if an enemy sniper doesn’t shoot at you, send your own men to shoot at them. Bite the enemy at night, take off the sentry, mine the road. Break their initiative.
