Chapter 293: "Blitzkrieg" and "Great Depth Theory"
Operational Department of Military Region B.
When Vice Minister Zhang Chunhua finished his opinion, everyone nodded in agreement.
The exercise is about to start next week, and the operational requirements of the red and blue sides have basically been decided.
Now the War Department will first conduct a deduction to make a prediction of the tactical play of the two sides, so that they have a clear idea of it.
After listening to his deputy's statement, Deng Jiahua smiled and said: "I agree with Vice Minister Zhang's views in principle. ”
"However, if the red side wants to use the first-line push method, the backup supply must keep up. Otherwise, even if they captured the city, it would be difficult for them to hold on for four days. ”
After listening to Minister Deng's story, Zhang Chunhua bowed his head slightly and said, "What the minister said is true." In fact, this battle is not only for the red side, but also for the blue side. ”
"After all, the entire exercise will take four days, and whoever can survive to the end will be the winner!"
Everyone agrees with Vice Minister Zhang's viewpoint.
Deng Jiahua looked around left and right, and saw Su Qiyue standing behind the crowd.
"Comrade July, there are your old troops on both sides of this exercise, and you should have your own judgment on the situation, so can you express your views?"
Deng Jiahua mainly learned about Su Qiyue through Shen Ruyong, Minister of Communications.
Since the "all-IP system" of the military region was successfully built and put into use under the leadership of Su Qiyue, Minister Shen is full of praise for Su Qiyue, a young man.
Because there is a lot of work that needs to be coordinated between the War Department and the Communications Department, there are many opportunities for Deng Jiahua and Shen Ruyong to deal with each other.
After going back and forth, he gradually had an impression of Su Qiyue.
Interested, Minister Deng checked Cha Su's resume in July.
It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, after watching it, Deng Jiahua was really surprised by this young man's talent.
Regardless of the other party's academic professionalism, the tactical thinking and tactical concepts displayed by the 702nd Regiment and the A Brigade in the exercise were of a very high standard.
This level is more than a step stronger than that of the elite commanders at the grassroots level.
When it comes to military talents, there is certainly no shortage of military personnel in the operational department of the military region.
Among the staff officers under Deng Jiahua alone, there are many high-achieving students in military science.
Not to mention doctors, there are even a few masters.
However, the professional level of these staff officers is more reflected in "talking on paper."
If they were really sent down to the grassroots units and served as battalion commanders and company commanders to lead the troops, I am afraid that it would not be possible.
And this Su July, not only has extraordinary attainments in military theory, but the key is that it is also very practical.
Especially the battle of 034 Heights that he planned, the battle situation from beginning to end was almost exactly the same as he envisioned.
Among the first-level cadres of the group military battalions and companies below, Deng Jiahua has really never seen a few.
It is precisely because of this discovery that this time, with Deputy Chief of Staff Liu's "point general" to Su Qiyue, Deng Jiahua accompanied Shen Ruyong on a special operations brigade.
In order to get in touch with Su Qiyue up close and have a comprehensive understanding of him.
The sand table rehearsal in front of us is not only an estimate of this exercise, but also a consideration of the tactical thinking of various operational staff officers.
If anyone can accurately judge the tactics and strategies of both sides of the exercise, it will undoubtedly show their ability and vision.
At this time, Deng Jiahua ordered Su Qiyue's name, and also wanted to see what "high opinions" he could have.
After Minister Deng spoke, all the division chiefs, deputy division chiefs, and staff officers of the War Department turned their eyes to Su Qiyue.
Compared with Minister Deng, these officers in the War Department don't know so much about Su Qiyue.
But one thing everyone can be sure of is that this young man's ability is certainly not ordinary.
Speaking of which, in these departments of the military region, the rejuvenation of cadres should be ahead of all group armies, divisions, and brigades.
Twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old majors, there are also a few departments on this side of the military region.
But most of these young majors are departmental staff officers, officers, or professional and technical ranks that meet the requirements.
They are not department heads themselves, nor do they have any real leadership positions.
The current Su July is completely different.
He is not only old, but also a substantive deputy battalion-level cadre of the grassroots troops, and he is a leader of the troops.
These and the cadres of the organs are completely different concepts.
You must know that if you want to step by step to the deputy battalion level in the grassroots troops, it is much more difficult than in the organs.
If you don't have real skills, no one will convince you at all.
For suddenly becoming the focus of attention in the field, Su Qiyue did not feel the slightest uneasiness.
Now that Minister Deng has spoken, let's talk about it.
After organizing the language a little, Su Qiyue began his own statement.
"As Minister Deng said, I did spend some time in the 702nd Regiment under Army Group C. Later, I went to the special operations brigade for nearly a year. ”
"I do have a certain understanding of these two troops, but they are definitely not comprehensive enough, so I can only talk about my personal immature views......"
Listening to Su Qiyue's humble words, the division chiefs and staff officers of the War Department nodded secretly.
Vice Minister Zhang Chunhua looked at Su Qiyue with interest, wanting to hear what he could say.
He also has a certain understanding of Su Qiyue, and he also knows that this young man is very good at network information security and digital technology.
However, at such a young age, Zhang Chunhua did not believe that the other party could have any novel views on combat.
"In this exercise, we simulated a city defense battle. And when it comes to city defense, the first phrase that comes to mind is probably the word 'blitzkrieg'......"
Under everyone's gaze, Su Qiyue began to tell in an orderly manner.
"Blitzkrieg!?"
Hearing this term, including Deng Jiahua and Zhang Chunhua, the people in the war department nodded slightly.
Indeed, as the German army's proudest tactic during World War II, "blitzkrieg" played a crucial role in many battles.
Even in the 21 st century, military theorists have never stopped studying this tactic.
While everyone was secretly thinking, Su Qiyue's narration continued.
"We all know a lot about Blitzkrieg. Its tactical strategy is to first use the air force to violently bomb the communications centers of the enemy's important strategic facilities and the enemy's airfields, gain air supremacy as much as possible, and paralyze the enemy's command system, so as to clear the way for the next wave of ground force attacks. ”
"There are three tactical principles of blitzkrieg: the attack should be sudden, the offensive should be fierce, and the troops should be highly mobile."
"Because tanks and aircraft will be used intensively on a large scale, the Blitzkrieg will attack much faster than general tactics. If the opponent does not prepare in time, they will almost certainly lose. ”
"Especially in the case of urban offensive and defensive battles, if the defender fails to defend against the first wave of air attacks by the attacker, the consequences will be unimaginable......
Listening to Su Qiyue's eloquent conversation, Deng Jiahua and Zhang Chunhua glanced at each other and nodded slightly.
Although Su Qiyue only said half of it, the two ministers almost understood what he meant.
He is saying that in next week's exercise, with the red side as the attacking side, the tactic of "blitzkrieg" is definitely an option that can be considered.
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the conference room, and a section chief opened his voice and asked, "Major Su, of course we don't doubt the practicality of the blitzkrieg." But isn't the corresponding 'Great Depth Theory' a perfect response to this set of tactics? ”
After the division chief raised questions, several division chiefs and staff officers of the War Department nodded their heads in agreement.
Indeed, also during World War II, in order to deal with the "blitzkrieg" of the German army, Soviet military experts put forward such a "theory of great depth".
Its basic principle is to create assault groups, diversion groups, reserve groups, and firepower groups in offensive clusters.
Among them, the task of the assault group is to carry out the offensive in the direction of the assault,
Containment group, as the name suggests, is to assist in the direction of the assault and divert the enemy's attention.
The reserve is used to quickly take over tasks that pop up in the course of the battle.
As for the role of the firegroup, it is easier to understand, it is to kill and injure the enemy's tanks, artillery and other heavy firepower equipment, while suppressing the opponent's depth.
The superiority of the "blitzkrieg" and the "theory of great depth" was not concluded on the Soviet-German battlefield.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the "theory of great depth" can partially restrain the "blitzkrieg".
Now that the director is using it to refute Su Qiyue, there is naturally no problem.
While the director was talking, Zhang Chunhua had been observing the expression on Su Qiyue's face.
Noticing that the other party's expression did not change in the slightest, Zhang Chunhua nodded secretly.
No matter what the level of military theory of this young man is, his calmness alone is already better than many people.
Deng Jiahua next to him waved his hand to Su Qiyue with a smile: "Comrade July, there are different opinions, you can explain it." ”
"Okay, Minister Deng."
Su Qiyue responded and continued to expound his views.
"Director Wang is right, the 'Great Depth Theory' and the 'Blitzkrieg' can restrain each other."
"Especially in our simulated battlefield this time, when the defending blue side also has broad strategic depth, it is worth pondering whether the blitzkrieg can be effective......
Listening to Su Qiyue's words of "increasing the popularity of others", Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but be a little curious.
Now, he really wanted to hear what the young man would argue next.
"Compared with the wars of 60 years ago, although modern warfare has completely different characteristics, there are still some commonalities between the two."
"For example, in most battles, the intervals and lulls of the war are much longer than the duration of the operation......
Hearing this, Director Wang, who had retorted before, was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: does the long interval and calm period have anything to do with the tactical play?
When he was puzzled, Su Qiyue followed up and gave an answer.
