After hearing this report, the ugly head of the headquarters opened his eyes with drooping eyes, and immediately got up and came to the huge sand table next to him. Some officers of the Directing Department had already presented the latest war situation in front of the sand table with simple models.
The tank model representing the enemy has crossed the pass of the Yanshan Mountains, divided into three routes to meet the counterattack forces, and the situation of the two heavy armored forces in the northeast and southeast is the most serious, because the main force of the enemy is them, especially the troops in the southeast. From the situation shown in the sand table, they have been under the enemy's pincer attack, and it's easy to see To be surrounded.
The northeast direction was a little better, but it was also unable to withstand the enemy's attack, so that even the starting position was lost. The only support was the southwest troops composed of airborne troops. They built a weak defense line in the hilly area 30 kilometers north of their starting position, barely withstanding the enemy's attack.
The head of the headquarters only glanced at the situation, then pointed to the position of the airborne troops and asked, "what's the situation of this unit?"
Immediately, the commander of the Directing Department reported: "this unit has performed very well in all kinds of exercises in the past two years. Last year, in the campaign exercises of the red and blue sides under the guidance of the headquarters, although this unit is a blue army, it used flexible tactics to defeat the red army at one stroke, which caused a sensation in the whole army. Therefore, the headquarters thought that this unit had a fierce style and high tactical literacy Therefore, in this exercise, the strategic command dispatched this unit to undertake the task of flanking attack. "
Wen Yan, the head of the headquarters, nodded, remembering that the headquarters reported to him last year about the new changes of airborne troops in recent years. He could not help but wonder: "it is said that they have a lot of research on unmanned aerial vehicles, can they be applied to combat?"
"Through previous exercises, this unit really has a good command of unmanned aerial vehicles, but I don't know if it will work this time. After all, the heavy equipment group army of military region B, as the imaginary enemy, has studied the three offensive units for more than half a year, so it should not be easy for the airborne units to repeat their old skills this time."
The commander of the director's department made a firm statement that he couldn't help it. In fact, this strategic command exercise has been planned since the beginning of the year. Therefore, not only the most elite general assembly group army under the jurisdiction of military region B was selected as the imaginary enemy, but also they were given targeted training half a year in advance, in order to better attack the offensive troops during the exercise.
It's just that Zheng Quanli and his three troops were kept in the dark. Otherwise, they would not have been able to find the north as soon as they got to the ground. They could not have been familiar with them.
This may not be fair, but on the real battlefield, it is more cruel than the actual exercise. It is the so-called "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never lose a hundred battles". How can you fight if you don't know your opponent clearly before the war?
Therefore, early detection and a clear understanding of the enemy's deployment, tactics and tactics can help us to have a definite aim on the battlefield, develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and defeat our opponents.
In this regard, the United States and the Soviet Union have done very well, especially the Soviet Union. They can even make psychological portraits of the personality characteristics of battalion commanders, so that their commanders can quickly grasp the enemy's weaknesses and win the battle.
Because of this, although the exercise of the strategic command did not change as much as that of the Soviet troops, it still hoped to restore the combat readiness of the second-line reserve after the sudden attack of the Soviet heavy armed forces and the war damage of the first-line troops. Therefore, it is not surprising that the exercise was properly tilted.
Therefore, from the beginning, the whole directing department didn't expect the three units to win. There was no way. In such a single and transparent exercise, the three units were just like the three blind men. It would be a total failure for anyone to go. The only hope was that the three units would not lose too badly.
So the director's words are not to belittle the airborne troops, but to be realistic.
Of course, the head of the headquarters knew this, because he planned the overall exercise. Naturally, he understood that it was cruel to face the three attacking troops here. He nodded slightly and then pointed to the hilly area that had been guarded by airborne troops and asked, "how can this be explained?"
It was clear that the head of the headquarters was curious that the airborne troops used light infantry to block the attack of heavy armored forces.
However, the commander of the Directing Department calmly moved the two artillery model networks southwest with the baton, and immediately explained: "it is undeniable that the enemy forces are supposed to be light enemies, and they will take the lead in launching the attack when the accompanying artillery is not in place. Naturally, they will suffer losses. However, after the strengthened 122mm and 152mm self-propelled artillery groups are in place, the parachute troops will hastily build weak defenses The line is expected to be broken at one stroke. "
It seems that it is to confirm the words of the commander of the director's department. As soon as an analysis is finished, the staff officer reporting the war situation comes in a hurry: "report to the chief, imagine that the enemy's right-wing attack group breaks through the airborne defense line."
As soon as the words were uttered, the commander of the director's department could not help smiling modestly. As for the other officers, their faces were different. As for the head of the headquarters, his eyes sank. It seemed that the overall situation had been decided.
However, when many military leaders were frustrated, the director's staff in charge of the report swallowed their saliva, took out another war report from the folder, and continued: "the first airborne unit moved 56 kilometers from the flank to the west of the right wing of the imaginary enemy unit, destroyed two forward supply points and an oil reserve station of the imaginary enemy unit, and then returned to the imaginary enemy unit again At present, we do not know the trend of this department. "After hearing this, the director's smile froze on his face in an instant, while the other senior officers gathered in twos and threes to whisper as if they were alive, while the head of the headquarters slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sand table rearranged by the staff according to the latest war situation with great interest.
Holding his hands apart, he stood on the edge of the sand table and looked at the soldier model representing the airborne troops. He went deep into the situation of the imaginary enemy troops. Finally, he pulled the corner of his mouth and appeared a funny smile: "it's a little interesting."
Then he asked the staff, "what happened to the right wing of the enemy forces?"
The staff officer turned over the latest war report and then reported: "chief of the report, imagine that the right wing of the enemy forces is still under the support of artillery and fighters, and continue to advance in depth towards the airborne troops."
After hearing this, the head of the headquarters suddenly became a little strange. He immediately took a meaningful look at the sand table. Then the brick looked at the embarrassed director and said slowly, "this is the war. Don't underestimate any troops."
Then he waved his hand: "let's go and see how the paratroopers ate a heavy armored unit. I'm very curious about what they used to complete the leapfrog leap. It must be impossible for UAVs."
The head of the headquarters walked out of the command post before the voice fell
……
Somewhere in the southwest of Yanshan mountain, after meeting with the main force, Zheng Quanli set up his command post here. At this moment, three or four green trucks with shelter army are parked in the semi underground bunker covered by camouflage net. Zheng Quanli sits in one of the command cars and looks at the real-time image on the screen,
compares a newly captured map to find the corresponding coordinates He picked up the radio, turned off the relay communication switch and ordered: "forest, forest ~ ~ I'm Jianghe. I found an enemy air defense unit on the small plain of area 46. I ordered your unit to touch it immediately and kill it!"
