The commander's voice was loud and clear, and Zheng Quanli immediately replied without hesitation: "please rest assured, commander, that we will fight the momentum of airborne soldiers."
"Good!" The military chief said a good word, then hung up decisively and ended the call.
……
At the same time, in the director's department located at the south side of the Dabie Mountains, the huge sand table of the exercise is placed in the center. The staff officers mark the layout of the red and blue sides on the sand table from time to time. The director in charge of coordination is following the situation of the sand table, and the head of the headquarters who is watching the exercise is making a detailed introduction.
This is a real combat exercise between the red and blue sides. The main regiment of a division in the N military region acts as the red side and is responsible for defending the imaginary s city.
The airborne Regiment under Zheng Quanli's command is responsible for the attack as a blue army.
Although the director department, in accordance with the intention of the headquarters, nominally did not set up a plan for the actual combat exercise, allowing the red and blue sides to play freely in the vast exercise area.
But in fact, from the composition of the arms of both sides, the Red Army is obviously dominant, because being the main force of the Red Army is also the fist force of the N military region. Since receiving the task of being the Red Army, the Red Army has been strengthened at the army and division levels.
There are not only armored vehicles, but also tanks of two companies. Not to mention the artillery, there are not only 54 Type 122mm howitzers transferred from 24 divisions, but also 12 152mm and 66 type howitzers.
In addition, an anti-aircraft artillery company directly under the N military region was transferred to the regiment, adding 12 37mm anti-aircraft guns. In addition, the regiment had 120mm, 82mm and other caliber mortars, with a total of more than 122 guns.
What's the concept? During the Korean War, one main division of our army had less than 40 guns, and the so-called main regiment had more guns than the four main divisions of our army at that time.
With the strengthening of tanks and armored vehicles, the size of this main force has long been at the brigade level.
On the other hand, Zheng Quanli's blue army has also been strengthened by airborne troops, but due to the limitations of its own conditions, not to mention the hard core armored forces, that is, the large caliber artillery used for firepower support, there are not many airborne troops.
We can only do our best to supplement Zheng Quanli's troops with 107mm rockets and 82mm mortars, and the rest is to provide more 56 class machine guns and 40 rocket launchers to strengthen the fire of the next team.
If you are not blind, you can see that although the Headquarters allows the red and blue sides to play freely, one side is a heavy armored group armed to the teeth; the other side is a weak light infantry, which can play freely. Even if the rules are biased to the blue side, the blue army can not win the Red Army. The strength is not equal at all, OK!
It is reasonable to say that the director's department should correct this disparity of strength. However, due to the long-term concept that the Red Army must win, not only did the director's department not make adjustments, but also the headquarters responsible for approving the exercise did not intervene too much.
The only one who is not angry is the commander of the airborne troops. Even if he is taken as a training companion, he has to be beaten black and blue. In the face, he has to step on his feet.
They are all soldiers. If they have the ability, they will fight with real weapons. Why do they pull so many foreign aid.
As a result, the director's desk was louder than his. In a word, he was defeated: "if you feel embarrassed, don't add guns to the blue army, even if you add aircraft carriers, I won't stop you. The exercise plan is clear, and you can show your strengths and take what you can. Can't you do it Good troops come to me? How did you become the head of the army for so many years? "
The head of the Directing Department is already higher than the head of the army. In addition, the exercise plan is clearly written, and the directing department clearly states that "the two do not help each other", so the head of the army really can't help it.
So he had to go back in disgrace and immediately made a fierce report to the air force headquarters. At any rate, he helped Zheng Quanli's blue army get two sorties of helicopter landing and six sorties of air to ground support, which slightly alleviated the problem of the blue army's lack of long-range firepower.
On the whole, however, the strength of the blue army is still too weak. It's only a matter of time before the red army presses him on the ground. The head of the Red Army is very clear about this. However, in order to boost morale, he still cheers Zheng Quanli on the radio before the start of the exercise. He hopes that he will lose and not lose too much. It's better to bite a piece of the Red Army's flesh so that the headquarters can take the lead In the long run, even if they didn't have heavy weapons, their airborne troops were still hard bones in Shangganling.
Perhaps he was really infected by his own tragedy. When the military chief came out from the communication office, his face was very dignified. Several people who knew him came up to say hello, and he dealt with it without salt. Even if the head of the headquarters came to ask questions, he answered coldly, with a look of strangers, which made other colleagues far away from him.
On the other hand, the head of the Red Army should be much more amiable. He not only talked with acquaintances, but also took good care of the leaders of other units he just met. When he was interviewed by the head of the headquarters, he was even more eloquent and praised by the head of the headquarters.
As a result, many people in the director's department are filled with emotion when they see this scene. Judging from the performance of the leaders of the red and blue sides, even if the blue army loses, it is not unjust."Well, it's getting late. Let's go!"
After understanding the layout of the forces and the general offensive and defensive plans of the red and blue sides, and talking with the military leaders of the red and blue sides, the head of the headquarters looked at his watch and explained to the director next to him. Then he took the lead to get out of the bunker and get to the center of the observation area, and raised the telescope.
At the same time, the head of the director's Department saw the leaders of the troops watching the exercise sit down, then picked up the radio phone set aside, and gave a loud order: "performance begins!"
As soon as the words were heard, three signal bombs went straight up into the sky, and then the sky roared and exploded. Two strong five planes roared past and threw bombs at the preset positions of the Red Army. Just listening to the sound of "boom ~ ~", the hills in the distance rose with puffs of smoke and dust. At the same time, about two blue companies approached the positions of the Red Army. First, they destroyed the barbed wire and minefields in the front of the Red Army with their barrier breakers After opening the passageway, he immediately launched an attack on the Red Army positions.
At this time, the plane responsible for supporting the blue army had already flown away after completing the ground support mission. If it wanted to continue to provide support for the blue army, it would have to wait half an hour. However, the air force gave two strong fives to participate in the exercise and returned to the nearby Airport to refuel and hang bombs. Half an hour's inspection was fast.
So at this time, the Red Army artillery troops, who had done a good job of air defense concealment in advance, finally tore open their camouflage, exposed their fangs, and began to carry out firepower attacks on the attacking blue army.
Seeing this, the head of the headquarters suddenly felt bored.
He could foresee the rest, except that the blue army saw the Red Army's fierce fire and continued to call for air support to attack the Red Army's artillery positions; the Red Army evaded, and when the blue army's six sorties of ground support were used up, it used artillery to cover tanks and armored vehicles to carry out armored counterattack, crushing the blue army at one stroke, and the blue army's command organization took advantage of the two sorties of helicopter when it saw something wrong The plane retreated, then gathered up the remnant soldiers and returned to the starting position. The red army won and the exercise ended. Such a commonplace talk of an old scholar,
, who did not know how much he looked at and how he saw the end of the exercise, did not even make complaints about Tucao. So he prepared to take a nap with his eyes closed and prepare for the end of the exercise.
But just as he was about to put down his telescope, several triangular aircrafts suddenly rose from the grass on the side of the front position of the Red Army, swayed in the air for a few times, and then rushed to an artillery position of the Red Army. The head of the headquarters immediately opened his eyes, put down his telescope, looked at the leader of the director department around him, and asked, "what is that? Missiles? "
