Chapter 298 Build a modern army close to actual combat

After a round of jokes, everyone continued to get to the point. That's what to do with this exercise, since you Jiang Chen said to continue, then you should always give us a reason. Should it continue or not, how to continue, what to continue.

Jiang Chen saw that everyone was serious, and then he also became serious and said: "I think that this exercise has been prepared for so long and has spent so much manpower and material resources, it would be a pity if it ended like this." ”

Seeing Jiang Chen say this, everyone looked at him angrily, and said in their hearts, who is to blame for this, if you hadn't messed around, maybe our drill would be in full swing now.

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Jiang Chen shrunk his neck and continued: "But since we want to continue, I think our exercise will definitely be different. We've already found fault with the Dao exercise, so there's no reason to repeat it, a drill that already knows the results, then there's no need. ”

"Then tell me how this exercise should be conducted. Tao Jianyi glared at Jiang Chen angrily and said. There is no way, although he knows that Jiang Chen is not entirely to blame, and under the contact in the past few days, Tao Jianyi feels that Jiang Chen is not as bad as he imagined. On the contrary, as some performances, he, an old soldier, appreciated it very much. But who asked Jiang Chen to dig out his nest, so every time he saw Jiang Chen, he didn't get angry.

Jiang Chen glanced at Tao Jianyi and said with a smile: "Of course, I will continue the exercise, but the pressure exercise I said can no longer be the same as before, what kind of big scene to pursue, big attack, big battle and so on." I believe that in future military wars, asymmetric warfare and non-contact warfare will be the mainstream of current warfare. My great mentor once said that concentrating superior forces to destroy the enemy is a good summary of this. In the past, we relied on a large number of personnel. However, with the development of the times, the progress of science and technology, and especially the successive investment in new weapons and equipment, I think it is no longer realistic to rely on the number of people to win. In addition to the quality of excellent commanders and excellent personnel, the key factor for winning a war in the future is, in my opinion, the most important key is weaponry. ”

Seeing that some people still didn't understand, Jiang Chen gave an example to end with everyone. The example he gave is famous. It is also the first to be studied and discussed in recent years. What's it, it's the 'Battle of the Bekaa Valley'. On 9 June 1982, a large-scale air battle broke out in the Ribanenbeka Valley. The Isseri Air Force made careful preparations and successfully made a surprise attack on the Syrian Sam missile position entrenched here. In just six minutes of attack, 19 SAM missile positions that Syria and the Soviet Union had painstakingly operated for 10 years at a cost of $2 billion were completely destroyed. In the following two days of air battles, the Air Force of the First Color used advanced F15 and F16 fighters to cooperate with early warning planes and electronic jamming planes, and the Israeli military claimed that it had shot down a total of 82 Syrian fighters, while the Israeli side did not lose a single fighter, creating an 82-0 miracle in the history of air combat. Of course, this is mainly the Air Force, and here is the Army, but the meaning is the same. That is, the Israeli army, which has high-tech weapons and equipment and the current combat concept, has defeated the Syrian army with a strong superiority in trying to win with numerical superiority. Therefore, in the face of technology, other traditional methods will become more and more useless.

Jiang Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "Although our weapons and equipment cannot be greatly improved in a short period of time, I think our operational thinking must be changed. Think about the battle in the Bekaa Valley, the Iran-Iraq war, the Falklands war, the war in Afghanistan, and so on, so do we imagine what I would do if we were on either side of them, or directly on the defensive? Not to mention the Air Force. If you don't talk about the navy, let's talk about our army. Can we afford to defend our territory and national interests from infringement? ”

"Why can't you, my Lao Zhang will not let you succeed even if he tries his best. An old general began to listen to it, stood up and shouted loudly.

"Lao Zhang, don't worry, let's hear what he has to say. The old man motioned to Jiang Chen to continue after suppressing the excited old general.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chief, don't worry. Hear me out first. When the war comes, I believe that everyone will fight bloodily and shroud the body in horse leather. But what do we do when we face a powerful enemy? With our current strength, it will definitely be very difficult to resist. And then what to do, continue to fight guerrilla warfare as before, or throw a few nuclear bombs and everyone will play together. Even if we defeat in the end, then what is left for us is the broken eaves and broken walls, and the hardships of life. And then we're spending decades, if not centuries, recuperating little by little, and slowly recovering. So at this time, I want to ask, did we really win?"

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Jiang Chen continued: "It's a victory, but this price is a bit too big, and we can't afford it." As the backbone of defending the country, how should we face the people at that time? So I think we have to not only win, but we have to win at the lowest cost. It is better to destroy them all on our borders, and if they come in with one foot, I will hide from him, and if one person comes in and we kill one person, and if we come in with an army, then we will destroy this army, and in any case we will not let the enemy touch even an inch of our territory. ”

"Okay!" Everyone applauded, feeling that Jiang Chen's last words were particularly uplifting, and they couldn't help but applaud.

Jiang Chen motioned for everyone to be quiet and continued, "So we think we should prepare in advance. In this exercise, I think it can be done in this way, the two sides will be exchanged for the blue army, and what the blue army simulates, it will specifically simulate the enemy, the United States, the Soviet Union*, England, and even the Japanese and Nanban, and then let the red troops figure out how to deal with it, and really exercise the ability of our troops to deal with the enemy. ”

"I agree with Xiao Jiang's suggestion, we were really a little too impractical in the past. Always silent in their own imagination, what Armageddon, the general attack, the collective charge, etc., seem to be more spectacular, but flashy. An old general stood up and spoke first.

Lei Zhan next to him also stood up rarely, and said without hesitation: "I'm not protecting this kid, but this time I think what he said makes sense." In the past, we all practiced with ourselves, and fought against ourselves. Although there are still some hypotheticals, the Blues are still our own set of things, and they are just that thing, rigid and uninspiring, and it is time for a change. ”

Then a few more old generals stood up and said excitedly, anyway, everyone was very supportive of Jiang Chen's suggestion, which made Jiang Chen look excited. His suggestion has finally been recognized, and I hope that this little bit of his advanced understanding and suggestion can give our army a huge leap forward under the impetus of being ahead of the curve.
