Chapter Ninety-Eight: Pre-War Planning
"The Big Killer?"
Everyone in the room, except Rezain, had puzzled faces.
I saw Major General Rezain looking around and smiling: "For this decisive battle, I directly applied for one hundred and twenty Hellfire missiles from the military general headquarters, just to prevent the number of monsters from exceeding expectations. ”
"Hellfire missiles? When was our army equipped? ”
"One hundred and twenty? So much! ”
When they heard that the Hellfire missile, known as the King of Slaughter, had been prepared for this campaign, all the major generals in the military tent were shocked.
Major General Rezain looked at everyone's surprised looks, and explained with a gentle smile: "For some reason, not long ago, the military superpower Sam Empire suddenly increased its troop deployment in the Middle East, and asked the countries in the Middle East to strengthen cooperation, and as a sincere result of cooperation, the Sam Empire advanced a batch of important strategic materials to various countries, and our country received these 120 Hellfire missiles. ”
"But the Hellfire missile was specially developed by the Sam Empire for the Longbow Apache, and our gunships don't have a dedicated launcher." The shrewd Major General Temurian asked.
Regarding Temurian's doubts, Major General Rezain said unhurriedly: "Major General Temurian, please rest assured, the Sam Empire has sent several experts who designed the Longbow Apache, and has already changed the missile launcher for our gunship, although it is not as good as the Longbow Apache can carry 16 Hellfire missiles, but it is still possible to carry 8 bombs after modification." ”
"Haha, Major General Rezain really deserves to be the youngest and most talented general in his country, not only strong but also resourceful, today Zade is an eye-opener." Bekzadeh, who was on the side, showed a relaxed expression and praised Rezain.
"Mr. Pei has won the award, and the younger generations still have a lot to learn from your predecessors." Rezain said modestly without being arrogant or humble.
"But Major General Rezain has made us so miserable! Ha ha! The shrewd Temurian said with a smirk.
Hearing Temurian's sour words, Rezain turned to Temurian and said seriously: "This matter is personally explained by the Chief of Military Staff, and Lei must be kept secret before the decisive battle, and he also asks Major General Temurian to forgive him." ”
Hearing that it was the chief of staff's instructions, Major General Temurian smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, how can I blame you, since it is the chief of staff's instructions, you should keep it secret." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Major General Beckzad snorted and said, "Major General Rezain, where are the one hundred and twenty Hellfire missiles, why haven't I seen them?" ”
"Hehe, I store them in the warehouse at the Bander's military airfield, where sixteen Mi-24 helicopter gunships are now on standby." Rezain replied calmly.
"Ha, it seems that even if the enemy really has the estimated limit of eighty monsters, he can be sure to kill them." It was the old and dignified Major General Farozan who spoke, and even his expression became relaxed at this time.
"As long as there are no more than one hundred and fifty monsters, the rebels will have no chance of winning in a decisive battle. Of course, with the use value of the rebel army, the forces that support him behind him will never spend such a big price, and the really big forces will not look down on these unpopular armed forces. Rezain said confidently.
Just when the atmosphere in the military tent was relaxed, a personal guard opened the curtain of the military tent and walked in, saluted Major General Nekonan, and said: "Report to the commander, the three forward regiments are moving well, but Colonel Ibrahimi's 10th Commando Regiment is moving too fast and has been somewhat separated from the other two regiments. ”
Although there were a total of six major generals in this campaign, because Major General Nekonan had the highest prestige in the army and had political bigwigs as his backers, he was the commander of this operation.
In fact, Nekonan knew very well in his heart that he was not easy to be a commander.
First, his military rank is not high in this battle, and like the other five major generals, although he is nominally the commander-in-chief, the other five are not something he can command at will, if it were not for the support of the backers behind him and the great help of his old friend Beckzad, he really did not dare to sit in this commander-in-chief position.
Second, as a commander-in-chief, this battle must not only be fought well, but more importantly, the relationship between the various factions should be well coordinated and the credit should be distributed well. In fact, all the troops participating in the war this time knew very well in their hearts that it was a sure thing to wipe out the enemy, and the key was who could grab the most credit.
If you don't distribute the credit of these major generals evenly, Chengfu Shen will stab you behind the scenes afterwards, and the grumpy ones may pick on you on the spot.
As the biggest beneficiary of the victory, he voluntarily gave up indirect control of the northern defense line and handed over the two regiments under his 7th Division to Major General Shegai, the commander of the 9th Division, which means that the credit for blocking the rebel army's northward escape from the northern defense line will be credited to Major General Shegai.
At the same time, he gave the credit for raiding the area east of Kamande, recapturing several important towns, and then forming horns with the main force, to the three regiments under the command of the young Major General Rezain. He also gave the credit for the vanguard to the three major generals Bekzad, Temurian, and Farozan with one regiment each.
And the rest of his seventh division was only placed last as a reserve division.
This makes it clear that the credit for the remaining five major generals is to be shared, and not to be scored by himself.
Of course, this is also under the premise that the enemy is too weak, if the enemy is stronger than his own, Nekonan is doing this to use other people's troops as cannon fodder, and others have to fight with him.
The competition for interests in the military is the same as the political competition, and if you do it well, you will get into trouble everywhere, and if you don't do it well, you will cause a commotion.
It is also Nekonan's desire for fame, and when he is not qualified, he reluctantly sat in the position of commander by relying on the backstage boss.
Of course, on the premise of victory, he can distribute the interests of each faction, and the benefits he obtains are also the greatest.
After the victory of the battle, with his status as commander-in-chief, he was promoted to lieutenant general afterwards, but he did not run away, maybe it was unfortunate that he could be mixed with the position of deputy general staff of the military department.
This was originally all laid out, but now there is still trouble. No, Colonel Ibrahimi has given him another problem in balancing interests.
"Tsk, this Ibrahimi is in a hurry to ask for credit." After listening to the report of the guard, Major General Nekonan said with a somewhat unhappy face.
After listening to Major General Nekonan's words, the others didn't speak, but the short-tempered Beckzad couldn't sit still, and only heard him shout loudly: "This is still an invitation, it's just a merit." ”
Originally, Major General Nekonan had something to say, which had already embarrassed Ibrahimi's immediate boss, Major General Temurian, but when he heard Beckzadeh shouting so loudly, he felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he said calmly: "Major General Beckzadeh, how can you say this?" Colonel Ibrahimi did not do this to buy time for the general offensive as soon as possible. ”
When Bekzad heard Major General Temurian say this, he did not refute it, but only called his personal guards outside the tent with a sneer, and ordered: "Inform the 8th Mixed Regiment to speed up, and the light cavalry to rush forward, so that some people do not take all the benefits." ”
After the guards who received the order came out of the tent, the atmosphere in the tent began to become tense, the dispatch order of the vanguard force should have been given by Commander Nekonan, but now it was given by the bosses of the respective units themselves, and the 15th Heavy Infantry Regiment under the 8th Division of Farozan carried a large number of heavy weapons and could not speed up, and his face was also very unhappy at this time.
"Major General Temurian, look at this ......" Nekonan looked at Temurian and didn't say any more, but the meaning was already very obvious.
"Got it, Major General Nekonan." Temurian turned his head and shouted outside the tent, "Captain Bakesh, pass on my orders, let this bastard Ibrahimi take it easy, and don't spoil the coordination with the friendly forces." ”
In fact, Temurian had just inspected the front line, and he knew that his subordinate Ibrahimi was alone in order to win the battle, but as Ibrahimi's top boss, of course, he turned a blind eye, and his subordinates grabbed the first credit, and he was the one who had face.
But now that this situation has been discovered by other generals, Temurian can no longer be ignored, after all, Major General Nekonan is the commander of this campaign, and the necessary face still has to be given.
"Hehe, Major General Temurian really understands the righteousness." Nekonan was very pleased, and he called the herald in and ordered: "Order all the forward units to maintain a coordinated formation, and all the troops to cooperate with each other to attack in echelons, and tell them to make sure to shoot the first shot." ”
......
With a "bang", Colonel Ibrahimi angrily threw the military teacup in his hand on the ground, kicked a piece of wood lying in the mud next to him and disappeared, and then with a "tom", he sat in his military jeep, lit the cigarette in his hand and smoked.
"Colonel, you are angry, why do you lose your temper over such a thing?" Ibrahimi's Captain Haydri whispered.
"A bunch of old foxes actually embarrassed our division commander and insisted that I slow down my march and advance in sync with the 8th Mixed Regiment and the 15th Heavy Infantry Regiment." Colonel Ibrahimi said as he threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground.
"Hehe, since the colonel understands that the gang above are all old foxes, and their eyes are staring, this first merit will definitely not be easy for us to grab it, I think we will forget it, anyway, when the time comes, the division commander will be indispensable to your benefits, don't give the division commander a long face when you arrive, but fall into the charge of disobedience before the battle." Captain Haidri analyzed for Ibrahimi.
"Well, it's not good to make it difficult for the division commander, but when I think of the pig's head of the 15th Heavy Infantry Regiment and the hairy monkey of the 8th Mixed Regiment, I feel unhappy."
It turned out that Colonel Ibrahimi was not only a powerful soldier under Major General Temurian, but also had a little brother-in-law, and if he really made trouble for Temurian, he would be really embarrassed to go home and visit the door.
As for the pig's head and hairy monkey in his mouth, it was the commander of the 15th Heavy Infantry Regiment Prady and the commander of the 8th Mixed Regiment Ashkan.
"Forget it, let's let those two bastards be proud for a while." Ibrahimi thought twice and finally gave up on the idea of going deep alone.
