It is no wonder that Zheng Quanli will be like this, because the exercise he participated in this time was different from the tactical exercises organized by the military region in the past, or the campaign exercises led by the headquarters, but the strategic command at the level of the strategic command of the leaders at a higher level.

Even if they were airborne troops, due to the lack of a large air transport platform, the actual ability to carry out airborne missions was only reconnaissance behind enemy lines at the squad level.

In addition, in the past 20 years, the main defense in China has been the heavy armored cluster in the north, not to mention the small detachment, that is, the airborne troops of the whole system, and the Soviet army is barely crushed if the heavy equipment is not right, so in the entire domestic defense against the Soviet Union, Zheng Quanli's unit has always been deployed in the depth in the role of a strategic reserve.

Relying on a limited air transport platform and a relatively developed railway transport network, it rushed to the aid of the front-line troops at a critical juncture, filled the gap in the breakthrough of the Soviet army, or held the key point to delay the further offensive of the Soviet army.

Because of this, although Zheng Quanli's unit has been strengthened by the headquarters, it is not as important as several heavy armies on the northern front, after all, those heavy troops are the main force to resist the Soviet steel torrent, and when they are exhausted, it is the turn of light infantry such as the airborne troops to charge into battle.

It is cruel to say, but it is an unavoidable fact in the field of national defense and security since the sixties.

Therefore, Zheng Quanli's unit has also been building in accordance with this requirement, and it is not unheard of in the strategic command exercises over the years, but the maximum number of troops invested is two or three reconnaissance platoons, which serve as reconnaissance forces behind enemy lines against both sides, so as to show that our army still has such an airborne force that dares to fight, and that's it.

Even in the large-scale exercise in North China a few years ago, Zheng Quanli's unit only sent a battalion of troops, and a single airborne and airborne landing behind enemy lines was considered to have completed the task.

The real protagonist is still the tank charge of several main divisions.

As a result, the dragon trick that has been in operation for so many years suddenly came into operation, and it was actually pointed out by the superior chief as one of the main offensive forces of the strategic command this year.

Although it is only a supporting role in two heavily armed troops, it also belongs to the second male number with a script and lines, which makes Zheng Quanli, who is used to being a trick, very flattered in his unit, and he became the second male without any preparation, this little heart is about to jump out of his chest?

So including Zheng Quanli, the whole army wanted to prepare well, the male number two, the acting skills should not be as exaggerated as before, how to have several levels, otherwise I will be sorry for the audience.

As a result, before they began to study how to do a good job in this strategic command exercise, the superior commander sent an order to Zheng Quanli's unit, asking it to complete the assembly within 24 hours after receiving the order, and to arrive at a certain preset battlefield within 72 hours and engage in a flank attack.

In other words, from the moment he received the order, Zheng Quanli's unit had already entered the state of exercise, and it was still preparing, and all preparations were in vain.

As a result, Zheng Quanli was a little confused, it was too sudden, and he did not even make any preparations, and the head of the unit hurriedly called the head of the military region, stressing the difficulties of the troops, hoping to give him an extra 24 hours to prepare.

As a result, the head of the military region choked back the head of the unit with a word: "I will give you 24 hours, will the enemy give you?"

Fortunately, the airborne troops are known for their rapid action, and in addition to serving as a strategic reserve for these years, the training of rapid assembly has not been left behind, so it is no problem to complete the assembly in 24 hours and arrive at the starting position of the attack in 72 hours.

But to launch an offensive there are problems.

After all, although Zheng Quanli's unit bears the gold-lettered signboard of the airborne troops, it is not a combat unit in the whole territory, and it can still play around within the garrison and even within the military region where it is located, and it is a bit blind to run across regions to other places.

It is important to know that war, especially modern warfare, requires extremely high military intelligence, and the more information there is, the more it will enable commanders and fighters to have a clear understanding on the battlefield and thus formulate the most appropriate tactical offensive plan.

Except for a map of the assembly area that was distributed by the whole army more than ten years ago, Zheng Quanli did not know anything about the exact shape and topography of the specific location of the troops, the altitude and climate, the direction of the enemy's attack, the concentration point of the troops, the location of friendly troops, the distribution of troops, and so on.

Therefore, Zheng Quanli, who was among the first to arrive at a certain frontier airfield by transport plane and set up a command post there, could only wait for the arrival of the railway mobile power force while contacting his superiors.

Hoping to get some useful information, the director department informed Zheng Quanli that the command headquarters that had just been set up by his superiors had been attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, and that the headquarters was reorganizing the command organs, and it would take 16 hours to re-establish contact.

Upon hearing the news, Zheng Quanli, who was usually steady, directly threw his cup and scolded his mother, and the command organ was served to someone, what does it mean? The three troops are fighting their own battles, and they must not be wiped out one by one?

You must know that the hypothetical enemy is the Soviet army, and their heavy mechanized units can do a lot in 16 hours with the cooperation of a powerful air force, and it is really not a joke to destroy the three troops preparing for a counterattack in one fell swoop.

Realizing the danger, Zheng Quanli immediately ordered the main force to stop advancing by using the railway maneuver, deploy on the spot, and implement defense, while the headquarters moved out of a certain forward airfield and retreated to join the main force.

I have to say that Zheng Quanli is still very alert, but he is still a step late, and at the same time as his order is given, the enemy's air power carries out an air attack on his main force, and a battalion is wiped out by the air attack before the strength of the battalion is too much.

Zheng Quanli, who got the news, was dripping blood in his heart, there were a total of five battalions brought over this time, and before the enemy saw it, one-fifth of the troops were gone, so he could only scold his mother while retreating and joining the main force.

......

Just when Zheng Quanli commanded the troops to respond to the situation, in the headquarters of a certain unit stationed in North China, the head of the headquarters listened to the report of the staff officer of the director's department, and his face was neither happy nor sad, but the faces of the officers at all levels on both sides were more ugly than the other, and after the latest situation report was over, a gray-haired unit commander finally couldn't help it, leaned over to the head of the headquarters, and whispered: "Old leader, is it appropriate to loosen up, otherwise I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the commanders and fighters." ”

"That's what you thought about Gaddafi in Libya, and as a result, he was blown up by US imperialism. The head of the headquarters didn't even raise his eyelids, and he made the head of that unit blush.

In April this year, the United States carried out two successive air raids, the "Prairie Fire" and the "Golden Canyon," to knock Libya to the ground with its clamor of relying on advanced weapons.

Of course, it has also alerted many countries, and China is one of them, so this Strategic Command exercise is not so much an exercise as a test of the combat readiness of the troops.

The results were very unsatisfactory, not to mention that none of the three troops arrived at the assembly theater on time, and they also suffered considerable losses, which made the head of the headquarters very unhappy.

At this time, there were even people who said that they wanted to relax the requirements, and the head of the headquarters who was on fire might give face, and after scolding his subordinates, his face sank, and he was ready to slap the table and teach a lesson, but before he could say anything, the staff officer of the director's department hurriedly ran over and reported: "The airborne troops organized a counterattack on the 189 heights, and initially gained a firm foothold on the 189 and 246 fronts. ”
