Chapter 296 Lan Fang's Mistake
The ups and downs of bunkers and sporadic castles form the first line of defense for the entire "D City".
Behind a bunker on the first line of defense, Yuan Langzheng, Wu Zhe, Chengcai, and Xu Sanduo were explaining something.
"It's already dawn, so you're ready to fight at any time."
Chengcai was somewhat confused about Yuan Lang's reminder.
In his opinion, the enemy had already carried out a large-scale air strike last night.
It would take at least twenty-four hours to organize a second wave of offense.
And now, only a night has passed since yesterday's air strike.
Wu Zhe next to him seemed to see his doubts, so he lowered his voice and reminded: "Our radar has been monitoring the other party's air power, and he must have discovered something..."
Hearing this, Chengcai nodded with relief.
He took this exercise very importantly.
It’s not because I want to show myself, but because I feel that the opportunity is rare.
On the grassland and in Class 5, he may never be able to participate in such a large-scale battle in his entire life.
This is a lifelong experience for every soldier.
If you don’t cherish such an opportunity, you will definitely regret it for your whole life.
Chengcai doesn’t want to have such regrets when he is discharged from the army.
As for whether Yuan Lang's inspection of himself can have a good result after this exercise, he has completely left it behind.
"Qi Huan, report the locations of each group!"
Yuan Lang stared at the frontier positions intently and asked.
"Captain, Group A is responsible for guarding the city, Group B is guarding the west, Group C and Group D are all deploying defenses at the east gate, and it is finished."
"Well, be careful of your position, pay attention to working together with friendly forces, and it's over."
"Received! Completed!"
After the call with Qi Huan, Yuan Lang's eyes turned to the three members of his S group.
"Just just received information from the command center, the enemy fighter planes were dispatched again, and a full-scale attack may be launched within an hour! The war is coming..."
After hearing this, Wu Zhe couldn't help but wonder, "Is this information accurate? In such dark weather, the vision of the fighter jets should be affected, right?"
"Perhaps the enemy has seen this and wanted to attack us by surprise, so that we can launch an attack under such low visibility conditions!"
Yuan Lang murmured.
...
In the command center, live screens of each battlefield are playing in turn on the large screen divided into nine areas.
"Chief, the Red Army's fighter plane has been dispatched. Is it a new wave of tentative attacks?"
The eyes swept towards the picture in the middle, and the Minister of Operations Deng Jiahua couldn't help but sigh.
Li Zhenxiang was originally talking to Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Heng in a low voice. At this moment, after listening to Deng Jiahua's reminder, the two looked at the big screen at the same time.
His eyes stayed on several scenes for a moment, and Li Zhenxiang turned around and looked at Su Qiyue and said, "Staff Officer Su, what do you think?"
After listening to Commander Li’s inquiry, Su Qiuyue quickly gave his own answer.
"Chief, I think it should not be a tentative attack, but a prelude to the formal launch of a frontal battle."
Su Qiyue said affirmatively, "Because if we want to continue testing, the Red Army Fighter should not dispatch the troops of the Army Aviation Brigade..."
After listening to Su Qiyue's answer, Li Zhenxiang and Liu Heng looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Indeed, if the helicopters of the Army Aviation Brigade were dispatched, it would mean that the offensive on the Red Territory was about to be launched.
However, they attacked rashly without knowing the deployment of the other party's troops. It is a question of how likely they are to succeed.
Noticed Su Qiyue's thoughtful expression, Liu Heng reached out to him and signaled.
"Comrade July, have you thought of something? If you have any ideas, just say it, speak freely and brainstorm."
"yes!"
Su Qiyue responded, pointed to the picture in the upper left corner of the screen and said, "From the war zone screen, I saw that the defense on the south side of 'D City' is a bit weak."
"Although the Red Party may not attack from this direction because of the moat, in a sense, such a arrangement can be said to be a mistake by the Blue Party..."
After hearing Su Qiyue's comments, the two leaders immediately looked calm.
The two of them knew exactly why the military region wanted to conduct this exercise.
The purpose is to examine the combat effectiveness of its two armies in actual combat and conduct a survey on the cross-military regional sea, land and air exercises in June.
From this perspective, the military leaders do not pay much attention to the outcome of this battle.
The main thing is to discover and solve the problem.
Now that the first official battle between the Red and Blue sides has not started, the young man pointed out that there are problems with one of the deployments, it is not a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Li Zhenxiang immediately spoke: "Staff General Su, let's be more specific. Where is the problem with the Blue Party's arrangement?"
Su Qiyue nodded slightly and said in a slight manner: "As the defender, the Lan side has placed its key forces in an open area, that is, to the east of 'D City', which is understandable."
"Their attention to the defense of North Gate and West Gate has been slightly reduced, which is completely understandable."
"However, in the defense of the South Gate, they only placed two forces from the headquarters to protect it, which is a problem."
"No, Comrade July."
After hearing this, Zhang Chunhua, deputy minister of the Operations Department, couldn't help but retort: "There is a moat outside the south gate of this 'd city', which everyone knows."
"With such a natural chasm, the Red Side's ground tanks and armored troops are completely insurmountable. It should be enough to have two headquarters guarding."
Everyone agrees with Zhang Chunhua's opinions.
Several directors and staff of the Operations Department nodded and agreed with Minister Zhang's opinion.
Li Zhenxiang nodded with a smile, and glanced at Su Qiyue and said, "Staff General Su, Minister Zhang's doubts, come and explain the doubts?"
Su Qiuyue responded and continued: "If it were the theory of war in the past, the existence of this moat would be enough to stop the Red side's attack."
"However, in modern wars where informatization and digitalization are increasingly widely used, theories of the past are no longer applicable!"
Su Qiyue stretched out her two fingers and slowly opened her voice: "The Hong side has at least two aspects, and can break through this road."
"First, using drone tactics and directly dropping them from the south gate can cause great damage to the two machine step connections."
"Secondly, the Red side has the support of the Air Force and can use the airborne tactics to open a gap from the way. As long as the ground long-range firepower suppresses two aircraft-step companies, the airborne mission can be easily completed."
Listening to Su Qiyue's talk, Deng Jiahua and Zhang Chunhua's expressions changed.
The two leaders Li Zhenxiang and Liu Heng also thought seriously about the two tactics that Su Qiyue said.
Su Qiuyue, who was observing the screen, did not notice the changes in the faces of the leaders. He pondered for a moment and made another additional explanation.
"In modern warfare, like this 'siege warfare', the defenders must arrange armored troops to fight together at any entrance and exit. Otherwise, they will face serious consequences."
After talking about his thoughts, Su Qiuyue noticed that the leaders did not say anything.
He quickly added: "Of course, there may be some other reasons why the Blue Party made such a deployment."
"For example, there are a large number of special forces personnel working together on their defense line. In this way, you will not be too afraid of the airborne of the Red Paratroopers..."
Su Qiyue's words were naturally defending the commander of the Blue side. How could the leaders not hear it?
After he finished speaking, Li Zhenxiang waved his hand at him with a smile and said, "Staff Officer Su, according to your theory just now, even if there are people from the Special Forces Brigade to coordinate their defense, the method of the Red Party's airborne is not good, so the drone's tactics can still be used!"
Liu Heng also sighed and said, "Yes, the Blue Party's defense on this line is indeed a bit careless!"
Seeing that his defense of the Blue Commanders did not work, Su Qiuyue felt helpless.
Speaking of which, the Blue side has its current special forces brigade, and the Red side has its own old army C Group Army. No matter which side points out the shortcomings of the side, it seems that it is not very good.
But there is no way, this exercise is equivalent to actual combat.
If you discover the problems that exist on both sides of the exercise but don’t say them, and when you really go to the battlefield in the future and make such mistakes, you will be a sinner forever.
At this point, Su Qiuyue could only silently say sorry to the two old troops in his heart.
When Su Qiyue was secretly sighing here, a combat staff officer in the Operations Department seemed to have discovered something.
He pointed to the screen and said, "Chief! It's moving, the Red Army's ground troops have begun to move!"
After hearing his reminder, everyone, including Li Zhenxiang and Liu Heng, turned their attention to the big screen.
"The Red Party has begun to attack!"
Looking at the screen, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but exclaim, "July, look at the direction of their attack, it seems that it is really the north gate of 'D City' you said!"
Most people in the command center heard Minister Zhang’s shouting.
Even the technicians who were in charge of information and communications sat in front of the computer could not help but look at the young man next to the leader.
Li Zhenxiang also glanced at Su Qiyue deeply before giving an order: "Enlarge the picture and see it clearly."
"yes!"
The technician responded and quickly showed the direction of the assembly of the Red Army's ground troops on the screen.
When everyone saw the red arrow pointing north of "City D", they felt a little emotional.
Liu Heng looked at Li Zhenxiang beside him with a smile and said, "Commander, it seems that Lao Gao's idea has been completely guessed by us in July!"
The commanders and fighters of the Red Party are undoubtedly Commander Gao of the C Group Army.
After hearing the Deputy Chief of Staff’s joke, Li Zhenxiang nodded and said, “This also shows that Commander Gao’s tactical thinking is still very consistent with modern warfare!”
Chapter completed!
