In the conference room, Li Zhenxiang, deputy commander of the military region, walked in, and the participants stood up in unison and saluted.

Walking quickly to his seat, Li Zhenxiang asked Liu Heng, the deputy chief of staff beside him, "Chief of Staff Liu, have you all arrived?" ”

"It's all right!"

After getting Liu Heng's affirmative answer, Li Zhenxiang nodded: "Everyone, please sit down, we have a meeting!" ”

Su Qiyue sat down with everyone, and his eyes fell on a document in front of him.

"The topic of today's meeting is about this comprehensive exercise within the military region next month."

Li Zhenxiang's gaze swept over the officers attending the meeting one by one, and then he said: "I don't think there is much to say about the importance of this exercise, everyone should know it. ”

"This exercise is a multi-arm and high-intensity confrontation between the two group armies. For the comrades of our command, the tasks of analysis and statistics are very heavy......"

Commander Li was loud and loud, and his voice was subdued, which made it easy for people to concentrate.

Su Qiyue listened carefully to the chief's story, and at the same time thought about what he could do.

He has been called up by the military region for more than a week, and he has a general understanding of the content and requirements of this exercise.

This exercise will be a positional and protracted battle.

There is no difference between the offensive and defensive sides and the traditional distribution of exercises, which is still the main attack of the red side and the main defense of the blue side.

This time, it was Army Group C that played the role of the red side.

As for the one who plays the blue side, it is Army K.

What surprised Su Qiyue was that the special operations brigade, which was originally part of Group C Army, actually joined Group K Army.

As for such an arrangement of the military region, Su Qiyue pondered a little, and he could also guess some reasons.

If the special operations brigade is allowed to join Army Group C in combat, their cooperation with each other will definitely be very smooth, which is not much to see.

After all, it is impossible for so many things to be smooth sailing on the battlefield.

It is the norm in real warfare to let the special operations brigade and the K-group army, two units that do not know each other very well, fight together.

Li Zhenxiang emphasized the tasks of the "planning group" and "director team" again, and set his sights on Liu Heng.

"Chief of Staff Liu, let's give you a detailed introduction to the main scenes of this exercise."

Liu Heng responded and began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the theme of this exercise is a 'siege' battle."

Liu Heng explained, "The red side and the blue side will compete fiercely around a city. ”

"At the same time, both sides are also within a 300-kilometer radius of their respective bases, and they are also within the range of attack......"

Hearing this, Su Qiyue suddenly understood.

There is no doubt that what this exercise wants to simulate is the battle of the United States attacking Baghdad.

A few years ago, when the United States attacked Baghdad, the military strength of the two sides was so disparity that there was almost no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

Its tactical thinking is also lackluster.

Now that the two sides are replaced by the red and blue sides of equal strength, it will very much test the tactical thinking of the two group armies and their ability to fight tough battles.

Normally, red has an advantage as the attacker.

The reason is simple, the area where the defender can move is actually relatively limited.

As long as the firepower suppresses the opponent and reduces the opponent's range of movement, the red side will have a very high chance of winning.

But this time, the situation is a little different.

Because in addition to a city that the blue side can hold, there is still another base in the rear.

Even if the city is temporarily withdrawn, it can be recaptured through a counteroffensive after a period of strategic stalemate.

Such an offensive and defensive transposition does not have anything to lose for the blue side.

On the other hand, on the red side, its own command is already within the range of the opponent's firepower.

Once the opponent's city is captured, the areas that need to be defended are spread out too much.

Of course, whether the commanders of the blue side will adopt the tactics they have thought of, Su Qiyue is not sure for the time being.

However, at least judging from the current situation, there is no obvious distinction between the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in this exercise, and it should be a balance of power between five and five.

If there is not much difference in the number of troops on both sides and their firepower is equal, whose tanks and armored units can accurately strike at the main targets of the other side may play a decisive role.

……

"Chief of Staff, that Su Qiyue of the Special Operations Brigade was the director group you arranged, right?"

In the office, Li Zhenxiang raised his head and asked Liu Heng.

"Yes, Commander, because this exercise is related to the joint military exercise with the N Military Region in June, I pondered it for a while, and then asked him over. Let's take a look at it in advance. ”

After listening to Su Qiyue's evaluation of the "DA Division" before, Li Zhenxiang and Liu Heng left a deep impression on him.

A few days ago, when Li Zhenxiang went to a meeting, he got accurate news from the headquarters.

The joint military exercises of the B and N military regions have been set for June.

In this joint military exercise, the two military regions will be put into battle "by sea, land, and air."

Although the "DA Division" is still in the experimental stage, considering its strong combat effectiveness and outstanding performance in the previous internal exercises of the military region, its participation in this exercise is almost a sure thing.

Moreover, nine times out of ten, it is the main force of the N military region.

Considering Su Qiyue's familiarity with informatization and digitization, Li Zhenxiang and Liu Heng discussed it and wanted him to serve as a military staff officer at the headquarters during the joint military exercise.

First, his novel viewpoint can open up some ideas for information warfare on the command side;

In addition, his ability in information network security can also help the command more on the side of the command.

Taking advantage of this actual combat exercise within the military region, Liu Heng took advantage of the excuse to transfer Su Qiyue to the "director group", hoping to see if this young man was really different through his analysis of the battle situation.

Of course, Li Zhenxiang knows what his deputy thinks.

He was also happy to take the opportunity of this exercise to inspect Su Qiyue.

"I hope this young man is not just talking on paper!"

Listening to Li Zhenxiang's emotion, Liu Heng said with a smile: "Commander, this Su Qiyue is really not just talking, it is indeed outstanding. ”

"Not to mention anything else, just the 'all-IP system' he came up with a while ago has solved the problem that has puzzled the Communications Department of our military region for many years."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Tell me more about it! ”

When Li Zhenxiang heard this, he immediately became interested.

Liu Heng nodded and told the situation one by one.

……

Special Operations Brigade of Military Region B.

In the brigade commander's office, the railway was talking to Jia Zonglin and Yuan Lang.

"Then, I don't need to say much about the importance of this military exercise, you should also know it."

Listening to the brigade commander's conclusive words, Jia Zonglin and Yuan Lang both nodded.

"We have been assigned the role of the Blue Side this time, and the task is to assist Army Group K in the strategic defense of the city."

"At the same time, if conditions permit, our brigade can also act alone."

Jia Zonglin couldn't help but open his voice and said: "Brigade commander, this kind of large-scale military exercise, our special operations brigade is very disadvantaged, if you act alone, it will be too difficult, right?" ”

The meaning of Jia Zonglin's words, of course, the railway and Yuan Lang can understand it.

Because of the special nature of the special operations forces, the number of squadrons in the special operations brigade is at a great disadvantage compared with that of the regular forces.

Such a disadvantage will hardly affect a medium-sized or small-scale battlefield.

It is not uncommon for several squadrons of the special operations brigade to take advantage of their superiority in equipment and information to defeat the enemy.

But in such a large-scale and high-intensity battlefield, the disadvantage of numbers will be infinitely magnified.

After all, no matter how powerful the special forces are, it is impossible to compete head-on with the tanks and armored forces of the group army.

If the mechanized troops of the people advance head-on, the special operations brigade will not be able to stop it at all.

Hearing Jia Zonglin's worries, the railway smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, since its establishment, our A Brigade has always had to face various challenges. ”

"In this exercise, it is indeed a little more difficult for us to perform, but it is not completely impossible."

"Mainly, it depends on our ability to seize opportunities."

After the railway said this, Yuan Lang responded and said: "Yes, on the high-intensity battlefield, there may not be no room for special operations personnel to play. ”

For Yuan Lang's statement, the railway was very satisfied.

He sighed, nodded and said: "Yuan Lang, over there for the first and second squadrons, I am going to arrange for them to fight outside the city, there is a vast space, and they can better exert their strength." ”

"As for the mission of your third squadron this time, it is responsible for staying in the city. Once the city cannot be defended, our troops will withdraw. You hide on the spot, and then wait for the opportunity to fight with the other troops......"

Sweeping his eyes to Yuan Lang, the railway smiled and said: "The task is very difficult, how about it, do you have the confidence to complete it?" ”

When Yuan Lang heard this, he nodded with relief: "Don't worry, brigade commander, I know how to do it!" ”

After saying this, Yuan Lang seemed to think of something.

He sighed and said, "If only July hadn't been seconded to the 'director team'." With him and I cooperating, the chances of success in this mission are quite high. ”

"yes!"

Jia Zonglin also said kindly, "Last time, the military region asked July to help create an 'all-IP system' and command platform, which is understandable, but in this exercise, why did you name him again?" ”

"With so many staff officers and officers in the Operations Department and Communications Department of the Military Region, will there still be a shortage of personnel?"

After listening to Jia Zonglin's complaints, the railway was a little unhappy.

In fact, last time Minister Deng Jiahua and Minister Shen Ruyong came to ask for someone in person, the railway probably guessed something.

Obviously, the military region asked Su Qiyue to join the "director group" this time, not only to let him start, but to conduct an investigation on him.

Otherwise, why did the two ministers of the military region come here in person?

Although the chief promised himself that he would not transfer Su Qiyue within three years.

But that doesn't stop them from looking at it now.

Of course, this must be a good thing for Su Qiyue personally.
