Chapter 1067: The Reverse Island Capture Plan under the "Frog Jumping Tactic".
[Unmodified version, I tossed all night last night, I was very sleepy, and I went back to modify]
Hearing Jiang Chen's tone, Lei Zhan smiled and said, "It's not a small tone, do you know what it means to fight this battle?"
Hehe, Jiang Chen looked at Lei Zhan and smiled: "Compared to the benefits achieved in this battle, what is the difficulty and loss of this point?"
Lei Zhan thought for a while when he heard this, then lit a cigarette and looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Tell me what you think, how to fight this battle." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hehe, with your old man here, I won't play a big knife in front of you. If you smoke less, it's not good for your health. Jiang Chen said with a smile.
The old man waved his hand and said, "This is today's ration, I haven't smoked it yet, it's okay." Don't pretend to be confused in front of me, you are much better than me when it comes to special operations, hurry up and say, I have limited time. ”
All right. Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Lei Zhan and said, "Do you know the frog jumping tactic?"
The old man was slightly shocked when he heard this: "Are you talking about the island grabbing tactics used by the United States in World War II?"
That's right, it's the island-grabbing tactics used by the United States in World War II. Jiang Chen nodded and said: "For a long time, in the thousands of years when the land battlefield was dominant, the confrontation between the two sides of the war was a clear competition between the "Chu River" and the "Han Boundary". Whether it is to conquer a city or to destroy a city, there is always a clear front in the thinking of the commander. Both sides of the war are based on their own camps and advance one after another, and use troops according to law. In the middle and late stages of World War II, the Pacific War fell into such a tug-of-war, with the Allied forces led by the United States and the United States beginning a counteroffensive, and the Japanese army resisted stubbornly. The South Pacific Ocean is dotted with islands, and the two sides are fighting for each island, and the war is extremely difficult. In order to speed up the course of the war, a bold idea was born in the minds of the two famous generals of the United States, MacArthur and Nimmiz. That is to abandon the traditional practice of pushing on the front line in the past, and take the leap forward and attack across the island. Using this set of tactics, the Allied forces in the Pacific Theater, under their command, advanced in two directions, taking advantage of their naval superiority to avoid the first-line defense points of the Japanese army and attack the weakly defended islands in their strategic depth. After succeeding, he continued to carry out the offensive with this support, so that the process of the war was greatly accelerated, and it only took more than half a year to break through the inner defense circle of the Japanese army. Because its combat mode is the same as the 'combat mechanism' of frog jumping and predatoring, people vividly call the latter's combat theory that jumps out of the shackles of linear thinking 'frog jumping' tactics. ”
Do you mean to adopt the tactic of leapfrogging, to attack across the island, to seize the enemy's well-defended islands, and then to continue the attack as a springboard in turn?
That's right. Jiang Chen nodded.
However, you know that the premise of the frog jump tactic is to have a very strong navy and air force to support it, so that this plan can go smoothly. In the absence of strong support, the troops who 'leapfrog' out are likely to be encircled by the enemy. Lei Zhan said worriedly.
Hehe, Nanban is not a Japanese country, and we are not old American. This is not the same as the Pacific Theater of the past. It was a full-scale war, and ours was nothing more than a local conflict, and the nature and intensity of the war were different. And the frog jumping tactic I mentioned is still different from this set of tactics of Lao Mei back then. Jiang Chen explained with a smile.
Oh, get your thoughts out there, don't go around in circles. Lei Zhan blew his beard and glared.
Yes, don't worry. Jiang Chen explained with a smile: "That's right, according to the distribution of islands and reefs in this sea area, as well as the actual situation of islands and reefs, I think we should adopt a sequence from large to small, from difficult to easy. This is what makes the battle against the islands of World War II reversed, and of course, this is what I think based on the actual situation. ”
Oh, upside down, from difficult to easy, this is a completely new way of thinking, talk about your basis. Lei Zhan said with interest.
Jiang Chen nodded and then said to Lei Zhan: "I don't know if you have a map of this sea area, let's follow the map, this is clearer." ”
Lei Zhan vomited a little when he heard this, and then signaled to the secretary. The secretary understood, and then walked out, and soon the secretary brought a few maps of different scales of this sea area and related information, and it can be seen that these are carefully prepared military maps, and some things should be newly marked, and it seems that a lot of preparations have been made on it. Seeing this, Jiang Chen found a relatively complete map of this sea area and said to the old man:
Grandpa, you see, this sea area is mainly divided into several island communities. They are Key West, Key Middle, Key East and Key South. Among them, the Middle Reef Islands and the East Reef Islands are basically under our control. At the moment, our main focus is on the two islands, Key West and Key South. As for the West Reef Islands, after a series of actions, they are now basically under control, and there is no big problem. The next thing we need to do is tighten our grip on this, and then gradually purge the Nanban from the strongholds of participation in this area. In this regard, I think we can take the path of civil-military integration, on the one hand, strengthen the garrison in important areas and on islands and reefs, and strengthen the garrison defense in this area. On the other hand, we can actively persuade fishermen to go to the islands and reefs to raise fish and consolidate the islands, and in addition, we can set up special militia organizations among these fishermen and fishing boats in the same way as we did before, and cooperate with the local forces and relevant departments.
Seeing Lei Zhan nodded, Jiang Chen continued: "Then there is only this South Reef Islands at present, and the South Reef Islands are the largest number of islands and reefs among these islands, the largest area, and the largest sea area under control. It is also the area that has been most seriously occupied by foreign countries, and our main action this time is aimed at this area. ”
At present, with the snobbish contraction of Treasure Island in this area, it currently only controls Daping Island, which is the largest in the entire South Key Islands and the main island in this area. Of course, although the conditions of this island are very good, due to the special relationship between us and the treasure island, this island is naturally immovable, so we will not worry about it for the time being. The rest of the islands are being quickly carved up and occupied by the surrounding countries. Of course, there should still be some unoccupied empty space in these islands, and I think we should quickly occupy this area, and then garrison it to control it, gain a foothold, and prepare for our next actions in advance. For example, in suitable islands and reefs, a field airfield should be temporarily opened up for fighter planes to take off and land temporarily in preparation for the next campaign. At that time, once the battle begins, these fighters can quickly move here, and then provide air support to our troops and carry out air defense and alert work. Of course, the premise of this is that the air force and naval aviation units are required to be proficient in flying combat in a tropical marine environment, so we must let the relevant units do a good job of targeted simulation training in this regard before the official battle begins.
Lei Zhan nodded when he heard this, and in addition to signaling the staff to take a careful note, he also took out a pen and paper and wrote it down. Facing this thunderous gaze, Jiang Chen Huiyi continued: "The next thing is the point, that is, to build a dock on this island, which can park all kinds of supply ships, combat ships, and landing amphibious ships. When the battle begins, this will become the logistics center of the entire forward command and will be responsible for the logistics support of the entire attack force. Therefore, correspondingly, it is necessary to establish a corresponding material reserve and transfer center, such as this oil, fresh water, food, combat equipment, field hospital and other facilities. And these things can be transported by ship in peacetime, and can be transported by armed fleets in wartime, or by air force transport planes from the Qiongdao transport road, this distance, the distance of the transport aircraft is not a problem at all. ”
Then after solving the logistical support work, let's start talking about how to fight. Jiang Chen looked at the carefully marked Lei Zhan and said: "Fighting in the ocean is different from fighting on land, it has a strong professionalism, so it needs a unit dedicated to this aspect of operations, so the Marine Corps was born. And we also have marines in this area, but for some reason, we are developing more slowly. And this mission is thousands of kilometers from our inland overseas, so an elite Marine force is particularly important. Moreover, this unit will not only undertake the entire combat mission, but also be responsible for the future defense mission. In other words, the success of this campaign plan depends on whether we have such an elite force. Not only can you fight down, but you can also defend it. ”
Lei Zhan remembered for a while, then stopped his pen and said to Jiang Chen: "You don't have to worry about this, although our Marine Corps is being rebuilt, it has developed very quickly in the past few years, and it is enough to deal with these small fish and shrimp." ”
Hehe, in this regard, I have no doubts in the slightest. Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Everything in advance has been prepared, and the next step is action." That's how I envisioned it, and if we want to act, it's very important for us to do it quickly. Before the enemy wipes up, we must take the entire main island controlled by the Nanban, which is their relatively main stronghold, and it is also heavily guarded. When the enemy reacts, then we have occupied these main islands, and then on the one hand, we will strengthen the defense of these islands, and on the other hand, we will continue to sweep away the remaining enemies, and directly sweep the Nanban out of this sea area. ”
Of course, Jiang Chen took a sip of water and said: "Because our logistical support is very limited, our actions cannot be too scattered, and we must expand and develop from point to area." Just like a drop of ink spreads rapidly in the water, and so many drops of such ink drip into this sea area at the same time, then the sea area will quickly turn red. The reason why I do this is because if we take the traditional way of moving from weak to strong, big to small, first easy and then difficult. Then after we conquer small targets, the enemy will have some defense in these important strongholds, and it will be more difficult for us to attack again. And this sea area is relatively close to Nanban. The Nanban, who reacted, will soon send troops to reinforce them, and it will be even more difficult for us to attack these islands again.
And if we quickly conquer these big targets, even if the Nanban reacts and sends troops to defend these other small targets, because the area of these small islands and reefs is limited, there are not many troops. Then a powerful civilization gradually mastering the initiative, the enemies of these islands and reefs seem insignificant. And we, who occupy the convenience of the islands and reefs, against the strength of these convoys that have come and have no place to stay, I think this advantage is self-evident. For example, let's not say anything else, let's just say that after we occupy these islands, we can deploy the corresponding coastal defense artillery units, and at that time, even if the Nanban relies on these more advanced warships left by the United States than us, it will not take any advantage. ”
Since we can have our shore defense artillery units, and the Nanban, who have already occupied some of the islands, have not been arranged, then how can we occupy these islands at that time? You know, our navy is too weak to fight these coastal artillery. (In this era, our warships were very backward, and most of them were mainly small gunboats, which could not compete with large-caliber shore defense guns at all.) The old man paused and knocked on the table with his own objection.
Hehe, in fact, I have thought of this problem a long time ago, and it has been solved. That's why I said before that I wanted to settle the battle quickly and quickly. Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
It has already been solved? Lei Zhan frowned and said.
Yes, it was solved a long time ago. Jiang Chen replied with a smile: "Do you remember the series of exercises in front of you?"
At this time, Lei Zhan suddenly realized: "You mean, the comprehensive amphibious exercise between you and the Navy Special Operations Group before, no wonder you chose to conduct it in the southern waters for so long." ”
Hehe, I didn't think of this at first, I just wanted our troops to adapt to the island combat training in the tropical marine environment. And this time, I also had a sudden idea of using special forces to infiltrate it to facilitate our landing on the island-seizing troops. Even some islands only need to send special operations detachments, and in this regard, they have a very big advantage. And in the future defense process, special forces can also participate in this process, and their main magic capital is used to defend against the 'water ghost' special forces that deal with the Nanban. Of course, I'm also a little selfish. Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "After all this sea area is recovered, I will apply to establish a tropical combat training base here, which will be specially used to train special combat personnel to produce combat skills, diving, swimming, survival and other subjects on the islands in the tropical sea area. ”
Hahahaha、、、 Lei Zhan nodded Jiang Chen and laughed: "I'll just say, you kid is a master who can't afford to be unprofitable, how can you be so enthusiastic, it turns out that you are waiting for us here." Don't worry, as long as this sea area is recovered, I will help you get it. ”
Really? Jiang Chen's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
When did your grandfather lie to you. Lei Zhan was dissatisfied.
Jiang Chen said with a resentful expression when he heard this, "Are you still lying to me less?"
Lei Zhan's face was full of embarrassment, but he quickly demonstrated it and feigned anger: "Get out!"
