Chapter 397: Analyzing the Opponent's Next Step
True and false, false and true.
When Rui Xingyun learned that the Blue Army was using part of its forces to attack his own front line, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Because just a few hours ago, the Blues pressed down on the line he had carefully constructed, and it didn't make much of a difference.
"What is Lang Tianping's mind, now I know very well, is he going to use a tired tactic soon."
Seeing through the opponent's purpose, Rui Xingyun looked very proud at this time. As soon as he received the battle report from the front, he said this with a smile to the officers around him.
Of course, being proud is proud, Rui Xingyun didn't want Lang Tianping's arrangement to succeed: "Inform our soldiers, let the first line of defense come out, and then let the artillerymen play a good role." ”
The artillery position was also Rui Xingyun's proud work, and in his expectation, as long as the Red Army dared to press and attack again, he would dare to let the artillery baptize their previous line of defense.
However, when the communications staff officer was about to send the order, he was surprised to find that one of the command posts could not be contacted.
What the hell is this?
"Report to the commander, the third battalion and the first company of the second regiment have not replied for a long time, and the reason is unknown."
Rui Xingyun's smugness was instantly broken: "Let their nearby command post send someone to investigate." ”
Obviously, his order was redundant, because the director's office called at this time, and their command post was destroyed by the Blues directly using artillery fire, and at the same time, more than four-fifths of the company's combatants were hit.
That is, this company will all withdraw from the exercises.
A company withdrew from the battle, and a hole appeared in the defensive line. Rui Xingyun was afraid that the blue army would take advantage of this to expand the results of the battle, so he hurriedly issued a second order: "After confirming the withdrawal of all units, the artillery will immediately attack." ”
At this point, he was not sure whether the Blues were tired of tactics or if they were fake.
Either way, the Blues must not be allowed to breach the second line of defence within 72 hours.
In the Blue Army Headquarters, Lang Tianping, who had received a report from the artillery regiment, looked a little regretful.
Of the several command post coordinates determined by Shen Yun, only two of them met the conditions for shelling due to the limitations of the terrain. But one of them, also due to climatic factors, did not accurately hit the command post.
However, the attrition of the Red Army caused by the shelling can be regarded as a surprise. Without spending a single soldier, directly let a company of the Red Army withdraw from the battle.
If it had been done twice for so long, the Red Army's losses would have approached two battalions by now.
And all the losses were infantry, and the Red Army, like them, had only two infantry regiments.
will look at the losses on their side, and so far the combat attrition has not exceeded two companies. Moreover, they are all averaged in each combat unit, and the system is still intact.
Thinking of the three offensives launched so far, the two of which caused effective kills were all related to Shen Yun, Lang Tianping couldn't help but nod to Shen Yun, who was standing not far away and had been looking at his side.
Fighting in the jungle at night is not the Blues' forte.
In order not to give the Red Army a chance to breathe, the tactics of exhausting the troops were not interrupted. The artillery bombardment and the charge, all night, although did not expand the results of the battle, also did not give the Red Army the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
In the southwest in April, after experiencing a baptism of moderate rain, it is still a little cold.
The soldiers who retreated to the rear quickly dried their clothes with fire, and the hot soup prepared by the cooking squad sucked and drank in the back.
Shen Yun and his staff officers ate and rested in shifts.
Last night's situation wasn't too complicated, so Shen Yun was given a three-hour rest. When I got up in the morning, I ate two steamed buns with seaweed egg soup, and then stepped into the headquarters again.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lang Tianping smiling with a happy face.
Seeing Shen Yun coming in, the dignified commander of the group army actually greeted him in front of so many people: "Shen Yun, come here, take a look at this battle report, and tell me what our army commander Rui is going to do next?" ”
Lang Tianping's emphasis on Shen Yun did not surprise everyone's expectations, but it was so obvious that it was obviously not an ordinary value.
Shen Yun first saluted all the officers present, and then walked up to Lang Tianping to receive the battle report.
This is last night's battle report, and if things are really as stated above, then the Red Army should now have completely retreated to the second line of defense.
Here, Shen Yun especially noticed that all the battle losses on his side last night came from the shelling of the Red Army.
According to his own ammunition stock, Shen Yun made a simple estimate, and had a plan in his heart: "Commander, I think that the Red Army should want to delay some time now. ”
Shen Yun's answer Lang Tianping recognized it very much, walked over and patted Shen Yun on the shoulder, and encouraged in the envious looks of the staff officers:
"Procrastination is only one aspect, let's talk about it, what other purpose does he have?"
Shen Yun couldn't do Xia Rui's thoughtful blurt out, so he first reviewed the map in his mind, put the situation of the two parties into the actual environment, and substituted some known data into it. At this point, his brain is like a supercomputer, with all the constant variables crammed into it.
After being stared at by Lang Tianping and many officers for several minutes, Shen Yun suddenly replied:
"Therefore, by this time, our opponent should have divided part of his forces by night and came to our rear."
In a large area, it is impossible for the attacking Blue Army to set up defensive lines as precisely as the Red Army.
The Reds were experts in jungle warfare, marching stealthily at night, and if they didn't want to, they would never be detected by their own men.
In this regard, it has to be said that there is a specialization in the art industry.
And what they divided their forces to do, the answer is self-evident - according to the information provided by Shen Yun, He Xianjun, deputy commander of the Red Army, is a person who likes to integrate special operations methods into training.
The most terrifying thing about special operations lies in people, but even more so in tactics.
In this jungle-strewn area, they only need a battalion of troops to carry out non-stop raids in the rear of the Blue Army, which can greatly delay the progress of the Blue Army's attack.
If people have the heart to learn from those real special forces to carry out a decapitation operation, as long as they find this headquarters, they will definitely be able to cause some big trouble.
"Looks like our nest needs to be repaired."
Lang Tianping suddenly came up with such a sentence.
But Shen Yun had a better suggestion: "We are here, of course, it is also an important goal for them, but I think that the transportation of materials for a while is their goal." ”
"The losses we inflicted on the Red side have now reached their warning line, and presumably with the character of the commander of the Red Army, it is impossible to make the disadvantage worse."
"If we want to save the decline, the only way to put us at a disadvantage."
