Chapter 584: Seize the Lead
On the big screen, the pictures of the red and blue command boats are clearly visible.
Because the exercise has only just begun, both sides are in a state of tentativeness, and there is not much movement.
The main action of the two sides is to continuously send troops to the enemy's area to carry out tentative sexual harassment.
Sitting in the back row, Su Qiyue silently observed the movements of the red and blue sides.
During this exercise, the headquarters of the red side was placed on an island in the Z sea area.
This island is about 500 nautical miles away from Ningzhou City, where the Blue defenders are stationed.
This distance has far exceeded the strike radius of the current anti-ship mounted weapons.
It is almost impossible for the warring parties to exchange fire directly at sea and at long range.
In fact, the reason why the director's department pulled the battle line so far was also to observe what kind of performance the fleets of the red and blue sides could have in the sea sports battle.
After probably seeing the comparison of the forces of the two sides and the situation of the station, Su Qiyue began to deduce in his heart.
He tries to put himself in the shoes of how he will fight the battle if he is the commander of the red or blue side.
For Red, there aren't many offensive options available.
Because the land route has been basically blocked, it is impossible to threaten the other side in a short time.
If a highly mobile armored brigade is dispatched, it will be easy to be detected by the opponent's reconnaissance system.
Again, it will be difficult to get support from the rest of the ground forces.
Since the land route is not feasible, a fierce battle at sea has become an inevitable situation.
The DA Division itself has an army aviation brigade and a shipping brigade, and it is not afraid to face naval battles.
The question is, how can their Second Artillery Corps provide frontal battlefield support?
With the current range of the short-range missiles of the Second Artillery Corps in the army, they cannot pose much threat to the defense line of the blue side.
Unless the 2nd Artillery Brigade was put on the front line.
However, if it is placed on the front line, it will be within the attack range of the surface ships of the blue side.
With the configuration of the H division, its advantages in the range and accuracy of the ship's missiles should be stronger than that of the DA division.
The 2nd Artillery Brigade of the DA Division is likely to get into a fierce and bitter battle if it were to compete head-to-head with the other side.
Of course, after all, there is still an army aviation brigade on the side of the DA division.
In terms of air superiority, it is stronger than the blue side.
But this was not enough for the 2nd Artillery of the DA Division to complete the task of the breakthrough.
In Su Qiyue's view, if the red side wants to make up for this weakness, it can only analyze and obtain the movements of the blue side through reconnaissance as much as possible, and find some flaws in it.
If the blue side wants to keep the enemy thousands of miles away and ensure the safety of its rear, the urban area of Ningzhou, it also needs in-depth and subtle reconnaissance.
After all, not only do they have to protect a city, but there is also a Lingshan Reservoir outside the city to worry about.
According to the requirements of the director's department, once the Lingshan Reservoir is lost, the blue side will also be judged to lose.
However, the difficulty of defending this reservoir is much greater than that of a city that already has certain defensive facilities.
Of course, the director's arrangement is also because he sees that the blue side has two troops.
The H Division guarding the city and the Marine Brigade guarding the Lingshan Reservoir are undoubtedly the original ideas of the director's department.
However, the situation that Su Qiyue sees now is not quite the same as this assumption.
At this time, the picture of the Lingshan Reservoir had already appeared on the big screen several times.
Near this garrison, a firepower unit of Division H was stationed.
The Marine Brigade that was supposed to be here did not show up.
"Blue Fang still has some ideas for the initial arrangement!"
Su Qiyue muttered secretly in his heart.
Normally speaking, in an area that is not easy to defend such as the Lingshan Reservoir, special operations units should be responsible for garrisoning.
After all, when special operations units are faced with difficulties, it is easier to display their combat effectiveness.
Now the blue side is doing the opposite, undoubtedly setting up an ambush.
Perhaps, the blue side is waiting for the red side to attack from the direction of the Lingshan Reservoir.
Nine times out of ten, several combat squadrons of the Marine Brigade are hidden in the waters around the Lingshan Reservoir.
Once a battle breaks out, they will emerge from nearby as soon as possible, catching Red by surprise.
Seeing through the original tactical concept of the red side is not difficult for Su Qiyue.
When he was bowing his head slightly, Zhu Haipeng walked over with a smile.
"Battalion Commander Su, meet again?"
In the last cross-military exercise, Su Qiyue had some intersections with Zhu Haipeng when he was reviewing.
Although the two sides didn't say a few words, they had a feeling of sympathy for each other.
In Su Qiyue's view, Zhu Haipeng is still relatively advanced in thinking.
Due to the influence of some combat methods of the United States, his combat thinking is very different from that of ordinary commanders and fighters.
Many times, he will use some unexpected tricks.
However, Zhu Haipeng's shortcomings also exist.
He is too obsessed with "winning with surprise", and many times some decisions will seem very risky.
It can even be said that there is some gambling component.
In this regard, Fan Yingming, who is also an outstanding first-class commander and fighter of the division and brigade, is more stable than Zhu Haipeng.
At present, on the first day of the exercise, the blue side has put on a novel formation.
There is no doubt that this must have touched Zhu Haipeng.
"Master Zhu!"
Putting aside the thoughts in his heart, Su Qiyue hurriedly said hello to Zhu Haipeng.
"Well, what do you think of the Blue Square arrangement?"
Zhu Haipeng stretched out his finger and pointed to the big screen and asked with a smile.
Su Qiyue didn't expect this question to be so direct.
He hesitated for a moment, then calmly explained, "I don't see anything for the time being. ”
"The blue side did not follow the usual path and deployed firepower units in important defense areas, apparently knowing the situation of the DA division very well."
"They're waiting for the DA Division's special operations team to send them to the door."
Zhu Haipeng knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and nodded approvingly at the moment.
"yes, that's what I thought."
Zhu Haipeng looked directly at the majestic reservoir in the picture and muttered: "The blue side has assembled almost half of the ground firepower troops in this defense area. ”
"There is no doubt that they must have calculated that the Red side will attack from this direction."
"If the red side does not have a certain prediction of this, then the consequences may be more serious."
Zhu Haipeng's judgment aroused the interest of the rest.
The railway sighed thoughtfully, and then echoed: "Master Zhu is right. If the red side throws special operations troops in the direction of the Lingshan Reservoir, it will be fooled. ”
"In this special operational environment, the combat effectiveness of special operations personnel will be seriously restricted."
"The blue side is waiting for work, and has the advantage of weapon range, I am afraid that it will easily win this local battle......"
Hearing this, Zhu Haipeng couldn't help but cast an inquiring glance at Su Qiyue.
"Battalion Commander Su, what do you think?"
"On the face of it, the blue side does take the initiative."
Su Qiyue said with a deep groan, "However, it is not to that extent that it is determined that the blue side will win this local battle. ”
"The main thing is to see who on both sides has the better investigation."
"Whoever can get valuable information about the other party earlier will have the first hand."
Hearing this, Zhu Haipeng nodded with a smile and said, "That's right." The red side has a certain initiative in the investigation. ”
"As far as I know, their division was the first in the whole army to be equipped with unmanned reconnaissance aircraft."
"There is still a great chance to cooperate with the armed helicopter reconnaissance of the Army Aviation Brigade and discover the layout of the blue side in the Lingshan Reservoir in advance."
Hearing his words, Chang Shaole couldn't help but interject when he didn't speak next to him.
"Haipeng, if the red side is also equipped with a 'battlefield microwave reconnaissance system' similar to ours, can it be easy to find this cat on the blue side?"
When Zhu Haipeng heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, deputy commander." ”
"However, our 'battlefield microwave reconnaissance system' has not yet been recognized by the headquarters. It has not been promoted to the whole army. ”
"So, the red side can only find out about the blue side's arrangement in the Lingshan Reservoir through other methods."
Of course, Chang Shaole will not doubt Zhu Haipeng's judgment.
He nodded silently, and his eyes subconsciously drifted to Su Qiyue's body.
"Comrade July, do you have any opinions on the combat method of naval warfare?"
Looking at Su Qiyue with anticipation, Chang Shaole then asked: "What are the differences between this 21st century naval battle compared to before?" ”
Hearing what this big guy called himself, Su Qiyue didn't feel anything wrong.
After all, the level of others is there, and it is much higher than their own.
In addition, this person is nearly 30 years older than himself, and his qualifications are far above him.
He called himself "Comrade July", and there was really nothing to say.
Su Qiyue pondered for a moment, and just as he wanted to express his opinion, Minister Qin, who was in the front row, turned his head.
"In July, this question from the deputy commander of the army, you answer it loudly. Deputy Commander Zhong and I would like to hear about it. ”
Hearing Minister Qin's words, the bigwigs in the conference room all smiled.
After yesterday's meeting, everyone could see that Minister Qin attached great importance to Su Qiyue.
At this time, seeing that he directly named Su Qiyue and asked him to answer the question, everyone didn't think it was strange.
The only thing that I have some doubts about is what Su Qiyue, a commander and fighter at the battalion level of the army, can say about naval operations.
Compared with others, Chang Shaole's face is somewhat unnatural.
He just had a feeling just now, and wanted to hear what fresh arguments Su Qiyue could throw out.
Unexpectedly, Minister Qin took over his stubble, and he actually came to push the boat.
It's a good thing now, I became a "wicked person" for no reason, and I pitted Su Qiyue.
I don't know if this young colonel will be dissatisfied with himself because of this.
Thinking of this, Chang Shaole gave Su Qiyue an apologetic look.
Of course, Su Qiyue will not have any resentment about this.
He just smiled and began his story.
