Chapter 845: Test Our Determination
RED Command.
In the makeshift tent, Fan Yingming was talking with Deputy Brigade Commander Jiao Shouzhi.
As the two core commanders of the red side in this exercise, after the start of the war, these two naturally have to discuss the battle situation.
Jiao Shouzhi had just returned from the front line.
Because this exercise was in a hilly and desert area, the wind and sand were a little heavy.
The deputy brigade commander looked a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, Jiao Shouzhi is Fan Yingming's old subordinate.
When he was in Division A of Army R, he was Pham Anh Minh's chief of staff in the 1st Regiment.
The two are familiar with each other, it goes without saying.
When Jiao Shouzhi slapped the dust on his body, Fan Yingming asked a question.
"Shouzhi, I heard Tang Long just say, when you led your troops to set up camp, you encountered the resistance of the blue vanguard? Is there such a thing? ”
Jiao Shouzhi snorted and spat on the ground, his face seemed a little stupid.
Seeing his expression, Fan Yingming became even more curious.
"Hey, Brigadier, Sensei."
Jiao Shouzhi snorted and said, "Just now when I was building a position with the 1st Infantry Battalion, a small group of troops from the blue side had been coming to harass me. When we turned around and chased after us, these guys suddenly ran away again, and I didn't know what the hell they were trying to do. ”
Hearing this, Fan Yingming couldn't help but speak, "What's the matter? The artillery battalion should be not far behind the Jibu battalion, right? None of this has been able to lock on to the other side for attack? ”
Indeed, after entering the era of informationized warfare, the combat effectiveness of artillery battalions and antiaircraft artillery battalions has grown at the fastest rate.
With the power of radar and communication systems, they can lock onto targets from a long distance and carry out targeted attacks.
Fan Yingming questioned Jiao Shouzhi at this time, naturally thinking that he should decisively let the artillery battalion do it.
Of course, Jiao Shouzhi knew what the brigade commander meant, he sighed, and explained helplessly: "Brigade commander, the people who came to harass the blue side are all fast squads. It would seem that it should be a small group of men and horses of the armored reconnaissance battalion of the W brigade. ”
"They didn't get close to each other and kept a good distance from our strikers; Again, I am also worried that they will have an ambush in the future, and they will come here on purpose to test it. ”
"Therefore, I didn't dare to expose the locations of the two firepower battalions in advance, for fear of falling into Su Qiyue's kid's strategy."
There is no doubt that Jiao Shouzhi's battlefield judgment is absolutely fine.
After listening to his explanation at this time, Fan Yingming knew that he was wrong.
However, Fan Yingming was a little dissatisfied with his disrespectful title of Su Qiyue.
Seeing Jiao Shouzhi's indignant appearance, he couldn't help but remind: "Shouzhi, although we and the W Brigade are now opposites on the battlefield, we still have to have the necessary respect." ”
Listening to the old chief's reminder, Jiao Shouzhi's face froze, and he immediately responded.
When the two brigade leaders said these words, Tang Long on the side naturally did not speak out without interest.
Deputy Brigade Commander Jiao has a certain prejudice against Brigade Commander Su of the W Brigade, and this Tang Long knows best.
The reason is very simple, he and Su Qiyue themselves are both deputy brigade commanders and chiefs of staff of the W Brigade and T Brigade, and they are the most promising to take over the post of brigade commander.
On the side of the T Brigade, Brigade Commander Fan Yingming had already officially been assigned to the regular division a few days ago.
It is estimated that it will not be long before it is possible to transfer to other more important positions.
Even if this person does not move, Jiao Shouzhi's position on the T Brigade's side is very stable.
On the W Brigade, the situation is somewhat similar to that of the T Brigade.
Their previous brigade commander, Shi Qingsong, was also a high-ranking full division.
Su Qiyue's position as deputy brigade commander and chief of staff cannot be shaken.
After winning a big victory in the confrontation with the W Brigade last time, Jiao Shouzhi didn't expect that Brigade Commander Shi would be directly transferred away from above.
But after Shi Qingsong was really sure to be transferred, who would take his place in the end affected Jiao Shouzhi's heart.
After all, after the division was transformed into a brigade, the W brigade, like the T brigade, was a heavyweight digital demonstration unit of the C military region.
The positions of the military and political chiefs of these two brigades are faintly higher than those of other restructured brigades.
As for himself, he has been in the post of deputy brigade for some years, and his achievements are still very outstanding.
In addition to the previous exercise, the T Brigade defeated the W Brigade by a large margin, and it is absolutely reasonable to transfer the W Brigade to take over Shi Qingsong's position.
However, Jiao Shouzhi's expectation only lasted for two or three days, and then he completely lost hope.
Just after Shi Qingsong was transferred, the candidate for the acting commander of the W Brigade was quickly determined.
In July of Su, the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff, who had not participated in the last exercise, successfully took over the post of brigade commander.
Such an arrangement is naturally a blow to Jiao Shouzhi.
He couldn't understand why the above was so optimistic about Su Qiyue.
Could it be that the last exercise led to the defeat of the W Brigade because of his absence alone?
With such doubts, Jiao Shouzhi naturally had a prejudice against Su Qiyue.
After the time of the rematch with the W Brigade was confirmed, Jiao Shouzhi has been holding back his strength, wanting to prove himself.
The deputy brigade commander and chief of staff personally took charge of the training of the following composite battalions and tank battalions.
Tang Long, the chief of the operations section, saw these situations clearly.
From a personal point of view, he can understand Jiao Shouzhi's indignation.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the W brigade has already been tested in the last exercise.
Su Qiyue has been in the W Brigade for more than a year, and I don't see how much the combat effectiveness of the W Brigade has improved under his rule.
But Tang Long knew Su Qiyue's ability very well, and he knew very well what the other party could do.
If the last exercise had been conducted by this acting brigade commander in command, the result would have been hard to say.
Of course, Tang Long's own judgment is not easy to say directly, so he can only assume that he doesn't know.
After the first contact of today's exercise, he already felt the changes in the W Brigade compared to the previous exercise.
The opponent no longer pursues the opening and closing, opening up the position and confronting the own side, but turns to the harassment of the rapid reaction force to delay the attack of the other side.
This is not at all like what the main defender should do.
Thinking that Su Qiyue had always been known for his changeable and strange tactics in his previous exercises, Tang Long was a little worried.
For this reason, he also specially told his wife Qiu Jieru to ask her information squadron to pay attention to the movements of the W Brigade armored reconnaissance battalion and the wolf squadron.
The reason is simple: the two battalion-level units of the W Brigade are known for their rapid response.
After learning about some of the movements of the blue party's harassment troops from Jiao Shouzhi's side, Fan Yingming nodded with relief.
He rubbed his chin and said confidently: "Shouzhi, Su Qiyue's harassment of our forward battalion today should not be to test our reality, but to test our determination to attack. ”
Listening to the conclusion given by the brigade commander, Jiao Shouzhi was a little confused.
He opened his mouth and asked in bewilderment, "Brigadier, I can understand the meaning of your judgment. However, just by this little contact, Su Qiyue could judge how much determination we had to attack? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”
"No, that's not an exaggeration!"
Pham Anh Minh affirmed, "The W Brigade is the same as us, and the two battalions under them have also been upgraded to composite battalions. In other words, they have at least two battalions and have the ability to open up a battlefield on their own. ”
Listening to the brigade commander's eloquent conversation, Jiao Shouzhi nodded as if he didn't understand.
Pham Anh Minh's speech continued.
After a pause, he continued: "Through the test of our vanguard team on the first day, Su Qiqi and the blue side can roughly analyze the composition of our forward battalion. ”
"Whether there are more infantry tanks or more tank troops, these subtle differences must not be hidden from a shrewd person like Su Qiyue."
"Through this, he can judge the extent to which our strong attack on the frontal battlefield may be invested...... However, they will be able to respond according to our tactical intentions. ”
Hearing this, Jiao Shouzhi finally came to his senses.
The meaning of the brigade commander's words can be summed up in four words: see the move.
Of course, the premise of this move is that one side must be able to make an accurate judgment on the tactical focus of the other side through the only battlefield information.
Although he has some knots about Su Qiyue, Jiao Shouzhi will not doubt whether the other party has this ability.
After being silent for a while, Jiao Shouzhi couldn't help but open his voice: "Brigade Commander, since Su Qiyue is the idea, has our reaction today already exposed some information?" This won't affect the rest of the battle, right? ”
"No!"
Fan Yingming waved his hand firmly in his tone, "If you want to win a war, you need to pay attention to the combination of Qizheng." If you keep using strange tricks against the enemy, it's easy to lose yourself. ”
"The battlefield of this exercise itself is an open area to attack fortified positions, and there is no room for tactical detours."
"As long as our side is in action step by step and has a good position, Su Qiyue can only deal with it head-on. Otherwise, before his magic tricks are used, the frontal battlefield will not be able to hold. ”
Listening to the brigade commander's determined judgment, Jiao Shouzhi shook his head again and again: "Yes, yes, before the exercise, we asked Tang Long to calculate the comparison of the firepower of the two sides. ”
"The number of artillery pieces in the two firepower battalions of our T Brigade is much higher than that of the W Brigade. In terms of the number of tanks, we also have an absolute advantage. Even if we are the main attacker, we are holding the handle in this exercise. ”
"Don't be careless!" Fan Yingming couldn't help but remind, "The hilly and desert areas are also very conducive to the advance of the armored reconnaissance unit. When you begin your attack on enemy positions tomorrow, you must pay attention to the safety of both flanks. ”
Jiao Shouzhi sighed, patted his chest and said: "Brigade commander, don't worry, on the two wings of the forward force, I have placed the strength of two infantry companies in each. Even if the opponent's entire armored reconnaissance battalion comes over, we can withstand it for a while. ”
Listening to Jiao Shouzhi's confident words, Fan Yingming nodded with relief.
He knew that his old subordinates had high hopes for this exercise, so he held back his strength and wanted to win the W Brigade again.
Although he was a little jealous of Su Qiyue's ability, the content of this exercise determined that his own T Brigade was the side with obvious advantages.
As long as he follows the steps and unfolds the attack formation steadily, Fan Yingming doesn't think that Su Qiyue will have any chance of turning the tables.
When the two brigade leaders stopped talking, Tang Long couldn't help but speak out.
"Brigade commander, the ground forces of the Blue W Brigade are indeed slightly inferior to us in terms of comprehensive combat effectiveness. But as far as I know, their air support is stronger than ours. ”
"We still have to find a way to solve this air superiority. At the very least, it is necessary to close the gap between the two sides. ”
Listening to Tang Long's opinion, Fan Yingming frowned and nodded slowly.
On the T Brigade's side, because it was the first digital synthetic brigade in the whole military region, when it was first established, it had a helicopter squad of one and a half allocated on it, with a full six helicopters.
Together with the two of the Eagle squadron, the number of helicopters reached a whopping eight.
However, on the side of the W Brigade, the number of air units is still higher than its own.
Not only do they have the original seven planes of the W Brigade, but there are also as many as four planes on the side of the Wolf Warrior Squadron.
Moreover, among the 11 helicopters, there are not only helicopter gunships, but also a transport plane with excellent performance.
If you count the air combat power alone, the W Brigade will far surpass its own side.
When Fan Yingming was thinking about countermeasures, Jiao Shouzhi opened his voice.
"Hey, Tang Long, you're too worried about this."
Jiao Shouzhi said disapprovingly, "This exercise is different from the last time, it is an offensive and defensive drill in an open field. An empty hill and desert, can the air troops of the blue side dare to make a mistake? ”
"If they dare, I will directly ask the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to serve them a pot!"
Jiao Shouzhi's words are not an exaggeration.
The performance of domestic helicopters has not yet reached the world's top, and there are certain hidden dangers in the flight altitude and speed.
Especially in open areas, it is easy to be locked by ground fire.
In particular, both brigades have top-notch information units at the division and brigade level in the whole military region, and the threat to helicopters from the ground forces is even greater.
Tang Long originally had something to say, but Jiao Shouzhi's tone was so firm, it was difficult for him to give any more opinions.
Fan Yingming probably saw Tang Long's embarrassed face, so he said roundly: "Having said that, the vigilance against the blue side's air attack cannot be relaxed. ”
"Tang Long, you can go to Qiu Jieru's side later, and let their information squadron take more precautions."
Qiu Jieru is the captain of the information squadron of the T Brigade, and it is reasonable for Fan Yingming to ask Tang Long, the chief of the operations section, to remind him.
After listening to the brigade commander's instructions, Tang Long responded and agreed to come down neatly.
……
The conference room of the director's department.
In the hall, after listening to the long dialogue of the Red Fang Headquarters, Xiang Qiangjun, Du Minsheng, and Lei Keming had their own thoughts, and they didn't start speaking immediately.
After a while, Xiang Qiangjun exhaled and turned his head to look at the two people beside him.
"Lao Du, let's talk about your opinion first. What do you think of Fan Yingming's thoughts and judgments? ”
was named to the deputy chief of staff, and Du Minsheng was not easy to shirk.
He muttered and organized his words, and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong with Fan Yingming's combat thinking. The book strength of the T Brigade is indeed above that of the W Brigade. ”
"Both in terms of the number of armored units and in terms of firepower, the T brigade is superior."
"In the case of bullying, the safest way to play is to slowly ...... the other party step by step"
