Chapter 454: The Inevitability of Defeat

"Report to the chief, in fact, the failure of the special operations brigade in today's exercise is inevitable."

In the conference room, Su Qiyue sorted out his thoughts a little and began to tell his thoughts one by one.

"Because of the requirements of this exercise, it is too unfavorable for them......"

After listening to Su Qiyue's first sentence, Ma Changlin's originally tense face became a little relaxed.

He was a cadre in charge of the special operations brigade of the group army.

The special operations brigade suffered such a miserable defeat this time, and he, as the leader in charge, has a certain responsibility.

But if, as Su Qiyue said, the defeat of the special operations brigade is excusable, then his own responsibility may be much smaller.

Commander Gao was also very interested in Su Qiyue's statement.

He touched his chin and couldn't help asking, "July, do you mean that the director team's planning for the exercise this time is not very reasonable?" ”

When Su Qiyue heard this, he shook his head and explained calmly: "No, chief, I didn't mean that. ”

"It's just that because of its special nature, the special operations brigade is really not very good at playing freely in the face of such exercises with too many restrictions......

"Your proposition is a bit ......"

Liu Heng waved his hand with a smile and said, "Anyway, there is a lot of time here, you can tell me more about your views on the special operations forces!" ”

Su Qiyue answered and continued to start his story.

"Generally speaking, the existence of special operations forces is formed to achieve the special purpose of strategy, campaign, and combat."

"It does not gradually superimpose tasks through combat operations at various levels, but uses special combat means to achieve strategic and campaign objectives through a single combat operation, and plays a special role that is difficult for regular military operations to play."

"To put it simply, special operations can be summed up in twelve words - strategic decision-making, campaign command, and tactical operations."

Su Qiyue said with a serious expression: "The uniqueness of the special operation and the limited force itself determine the irregularity of its actions. If it were to engage in regular combat operations, it would not be possible to achieve a specific operational objective. ”

"And our exercise, from the requirements to the battle situation, is almost a hard-fought combat operation. This is obviously a disadvantage for the special operations team......"

Listening to the battalion commander Su who had just defeated his own special operations brigade and exonerated his own troops, Zhu Haoran felt a little sympathetic in his heart.

"There is no doubt that the special brigade has an advantage over the conventional forces."

Su Qiyue paused and continued, "But since the special forces mainly carry out irregular operations, they are auxiliary frontal battlefields and play the role of frontal battlefield multipliers. ”

"As a result, there is a high demand for flexibility in this type of force. This makes the special forces completely incomparable with conventional forces in terms of heavy weapons and armor protection. ”

Hearing this, Liang Feng, chief of staff of the group army, and Deng Jiahua, chief of operations of the military region, nodded with relief.

Indeed, judging from the last frontal collision just now, the equipment inferiority of the special operations forces in front of the armor of the conventional troops is too great.

Although there are also a few infantry combat vehicles, they are a drop in the bucket in the face of the grouped armored troops and tank units.

In the end, it was reasonable to lose head-on.

Su Qiyue's speech continued.

"From the point of view of organizational form, the special forces are all organized in small detachments, and carry out covert operations by means of verifying targets, guiding attacks, seizing key points, and eliminating remnants of the enemy and counter-psychological warfare.

"Of course, in the combat missions carried out by conventional forces, there are both regular and irregular warfare."

"In conventional operations at different levels and at different levels, there are some special combat operations, such as reconnaissance, raids, ambushes, seizure of control, and so on."

Su Qiyue said in an orderly manner: "But with the deepening of the modernization and reform of our army, these special operations can already be completed by units in conventional combat units, such as our reconnaissance troops......"

"In other words, the irreplaceability of special forces on the frontal battlefield is actually not so obvious."

Su Qiyue's words made several bigwigs in the conference room bow their heads.

Indeed, in the exercise that has just ended, the play of the reconnaissance platoon of the division reconnaissance battalion and the digital composite battalion played a crucial role.

Although their individual combat ability may not be as good as that of the special operations team, the gap is not so great.

Su Qiyue finally concluded: "In general, although the special operations forces are an elite collection of the army, they are being used in a wider range of fields and playing a greater and greater role. ”

"However, as far as its role is concerned, it is still mainly in conjunction with the frontal battlefield, and it is impossible to completely replace conventional warfare."

"Although in some cases, special operations units may also become the main combat operations, they are always in a complementary and coordinated position compared with conventional operations......"

Hearing this, Liu Heng immediately laughed.

"Listen to what you mean, our group army director team arranged this exercise, and it was basically a pit special operations team?"

Su Qiyue knew that Deputy Chief of Staff Liu was joking, so he shook his head immediately.

"In terms of exercise requirements, the special operations team is relatively passive, and perhaps it may be more conducive to their performance if they are replaced by the main attacking side......

Su Qiyue's opinion, the bigwigs obviously agree.

If the 544 and 621 heights were replaced by the combined forces of the T Division, the special operations brigade would indeed not be so passive.

After thinking about it, Su Qiyue continued: "Of course, when the general trend is not on our side, the special operations team is not without a countermeasure. ”

"Suppose they send combat teams to set up ambushes along the way at the outset to block our straight advance; Or, in the case of an incomplete air strike, if you take the initiative to abandon the two heights at the first time, then the results may be different......"

After Su Qiyue said this, there was a silence in the office.

Everyone was reminiscing about his judgment just now.

Even bigwigs like Deputy Chief of Staff Liu and Commander Gao are no exception.

"What you said in July does make a lot of sense."

After a while, Liu Heng suddenly opened his voice and said, "The particularity of this exercise makes the special operations team really not adaptable. ”

"Don't be too modest, though."

Liu Heng changed his words and said, "Through this exercise, we have seen the ability of your digital synthesis battalion to advance rapidly, and the comprehensiveness and creativity of the combat method. ”

"I believe, we all believe, that even if you are facing a regiment or even a brigade today, the probability of victory is very high!"

After Deputy Chief of Staff Liu said this, Gao Aiguo was the first to agree.

As for the main forces of the divisions in his own army, he, the army commander, naturally knows a lot about it.

Looking at the combat capability of today's joint forces of the digital composite battalion and the division reconnaissance battalion, Gao Aiguo is sure that absolutely no main force regiment can cope with it.

Regarding the praise of Deputy Chief of Staff Liu, Su Qiyue did not express his position with a little reserve.

After all, the exercise has been won, and it is better to keep a low profile at this time.

Liu Heng knows Su Qiyue's temperament very well, and he doesn't think it's angry.

He turned his head, looked at Gao Aiguo and said, "Commander Gao, it's only been more than two months, and this synthetic battalion of your T Division has such qualities. ”

"The future is really exciting!"

Gao Aiguo smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm also looking forward to seeing what their digital synthesis camp can evolve into in the future." ”

Liu Heng responded with deep understanding, turned his head to look at Deng Jiahua, the railway and others, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't be bored, don't talk about it, if you have any problems, take them out and talk about them."

After glancing at Su Qiyue, the deputy chief of staff said again, "It's not easy to bring this 'Changsheng Battalion Commander' over, you can't let it go gently." ”

When the railway heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

For Su Qiyue to be able to win this exercise, the railway is the least surprising one.

After all, in the two years of the special operations brigade, he already has a very comprehensive understanding of Su Qiyue's ability.

However, Su Qiyue, the little guy, was able to win Lao Gu's special operations team in just one day, making him fall so much, and the railway never expected it.

Glancing at Su Qiyue's indifferent expression, the railway couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Hey, it would be nice if this kid was still in our special operations brigade. Perhaps, our special operations brigade can really become an elite unit like the '101st Airborne Division' of the United States that he envisioned......"

When the railway was secretly melancholy, Minister Deng Jiahua smiled and spoke.

"In July, the three-day exercise took you the red side only one day. Have you personally thought about this beforehand? ”

As soon as Minister Deng asked this question, Liang Feng and Ma Changlin both straightened up.

Obviously, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the two directors also want to know the answer to this question.

"Well, I actually thought about it!"

Su Qiyue pondered for a moment, but still said matter-of-factly.

Hearing this, Ma Changlin's body leaned back slightly.

Obviously, he was a little surprised by Su Qiyue's answer.

Deng Jiahua also didn't expect Su Qiyue to dare to say it, and couldn't help but say with interest: "Oh? You've predicted it before? ”

Su Qiyue bowed his head slightly and calmly said: "In fact, in modern warfare, rapid advance is always the first place. ”

"After all, in digital and information-based warfare, the battlefield changes too quickly. If strategic locations are not captured as soon as possible, the situation that may arise later is too complicated. ”

As soon as Su Qiyue explained this, Liu Heng and Gao Aiguo both bowed their heads slightly and agreed.

"In fact, if our digital synthetic battalion has the support of air forces like the synthetic troops of the United States, then this battle will end faster."

"After all, in front of heights 544 and 621, we still have a lot of delay."

"In that time period, as long as we have air support, a wave of strikes on the strategic hinterland of the blue side can be much more efficient......"

The bigwigs present listened to the young man's calm words, and they couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts.
