Chapter 740: After the Decisive Battle
When an hour-long documentary was circulated on the Internet, half a month had passed since the Battle of Jinling.
But this bizarre confrontation has made many people talk about it, even if they are not pure military fans, and they are constantly amazed by the incredible decisions made by the red side in the defensive war.
The picture returns to the somewhat cloud-shrouded documentary, which is being shown in a conference room at a base in Huaxia at this time.
Skipping the official remarks about the interviews with the commanders of the two sides at the beginning, when the main topic came, many officers and soldiers present began to listen carefully.
"In the past few years, we have often heard such a sentence: ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple is to divide it."
"A lot of people will think that we are on the same level as the Blues, and that this kind of thing is a bad brain. But I'm going to tell you, what no one can think of is the best way. ”
The screen replayed the scene of Chao Yaxin's choice that day, and then stopped here. And the officer standing on the rostrum looked down pleasantly:
"Now who can tell me why the Red side launched an encirclement and won when the forces were equal?"
Compared with the information known to the outside world, the inside of the military is quite familiar with the inside story of this exercise. The strength and arrangement of the red and blue sides at the moment of the final decisive battle can be announced by everyone present.
Before the official answer was revealed, the officers deliberately wanted to test the people present.
"Report."
Since they spoke enthusiastically, it didn't matter if they were wrong, so the officers and men present were very active. One of the second lieutenants sitting in the middle was the first to stand up and make a report, ready to speak.
Receiving the officer's nod, the second lieutenant explained to the crowd in a very fluent voice: "Textbooks are dead, but people are alive. I think the Red side dared to encircle this time because of their knowledge of the city of Jinling and the restrictions on heavy equipment such as artillery and armor in the city's buildings. ”
"In terms of the number and combat effectiveness of the infantry alone, the red side has an advantage, plus there are armed police and special police officers close to a regiment to lead the way, and most of the special operations brigades carry out urban special operations, and the effective killing of the blue army is far higher than that of the blue army's counterattack."
"At the same time, the Blues are under attack, and no matter which direction they try to break through, the Red side always avoids their edges, so that the fists they throw are always in the air, and in the long run, it is a continuous blow to the morale of the Blues."
In the end, after a full 49 hours of raiding and harassment, the Blues suffered heavy losses. At the same time, a special operations battalion sent out by the Red side did not know when to officially lock the position of the headquarters of the Blue Army base, and both the loss of troops and the end of the base became a direct factor in the defeat of the Blue Army. ”
The second lieutenant basically recreated the situation of Armageddon, and he attributed the reason why the red side dared to launch an encirclement to his knowledge of Jinling.
But is that really all there is to it?
The officer standing on the stage was noncommittal, and after motioning to sit down slightly, he called the names of several officers one after another, asked them to analyze the reasons, and only at the end did they make a summary.
"There are many factors why the red side launched the encirclement and was able to win, but the most important reason is that they were forced."
When everyone saw the final victory of the red side, the officer still saw at a glance that the red side was in a passive state by making such a choice.
"We know that as long as the Blues can annihilate 70% of the Red Army's forces and then occupy the political center of Jinling, the Blues will be victorious in this exercise. Previously, the Blues had massed heavily and approached the Civic Centre in order to allow the Red side to show up and fight them to the death. ”
'In terms of strategic intent, obviously the Blues were a lot higher at the beginning. Earlier, you said that the red side has the advantage in terms of troops, but it also depends on the strategic level, who has the upper hand. ”
Indeed it is.
If the Red side had been passive in the first place, and had also gathered forces to fight hard-to-head with the Blues, it would have been the Blues who would have won the battle.
Because from that moment on, the rhythm of the war was completely controlled by the Blues, where the battlefield was laid, when the battle began, and how long it took to achieve the predetermined goal - this could not escape the arrangement of the Blues.
In fact, the whole country, including many Red officers, could not have imagined at first that they would abandon the Civic Center, an extremely important place, and instead use it as a decoy.
The Blues took the bait.
Even a lot of people took the bait.
They all thought that the Reds had abandoned the Civic Centre because they did not want to have a decisive battle with the Blues too soon. It is then speculated that the red side will be familiar with Jinling City as in the previous two days, through the familiarity with Jinling City, to carry out attack tactics against the Blue Army, and eliminate the living forces of the Blue Army as much as possible.
Who knows, in just a few hours, the form has undergone a shocking reversal.
"I have to say that the commanding generals of the red side are very war-minded. In this arrangement, he made full use of the inherent thinking of Chinese soldiers and gave up many things that ordinary people regarded as more important than life. ”
At the same time, he was very bold and dared to make such an arrangement. Under such pressure, dare to fight against the water, I have to say that all of us here are more than one level worse than him. ”
The officer analyzed this and pressed the play button again.
The two regiments closest to the Blues in the picture took a passive defensive posture, and the routine of fighting and retreating also aroused the suspicion of the Blues, but their scouts detected that the troops on several other lines were also moving backwards, and this very detailed move by the Red side made the Blues completely go to the abyss of defeat.
The 49 hours of difficult confrontation are only 30 minutes in the documentary.
The officers and soldiers never let go of every detail of this, but in the end, when the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army, Lang Tianping, was interviewed, the words he said still made everyone confused.
"New technology, new tactics, new ideas, new theories, I think we urgently need to change our attitude and views on future wars, and we cannot continue to stay in the old thinking. Otherwise, just one person can turn the scales of victory. ”
Lang Tianping's original intention, of course, was to tell the red side that the reason why they were able to win was because of Shen Yun's participation.
But in the eyes of outsiders, this is completely Lang Tianping's admiration for the endless new things that the Red Fang encountered in this exercise.
Of course, the impact of the four "new" in his mouth on future wars will become the content of the next base that will spend a period of time to study.
