Chapter 1595: The opposite
"What's the problem?" Huang Jie suddenly became nervous.
Jiang Haoran said: "Our plan is to use Subic Bay as the main attack and Lingjiayan Bay as an assist, but you found that no, the Lingjiayan Bay Island Army did not use the Sakura machine, and their shore-based firepower is significantly lower than that of Subic Bay." ”
"Do you suspect that the island army has already guessed that we will focus on Subic Bay, so they are also very well prepared?"
"Yes." Jiang Haoran replied: "But this is not the crux of the matter, the key is that if Hori Rongsan is really so powerful, then he will definitely be able to predict that I will throw the airborne troops into Nasugbu next." ”
Huang Jie was stunned for a moment, looked at the map on the table and thought slightly, and said: "Indeed, it is much easier to predict the airborne landing point than to predict the landing site, after all, airborne landing is very harsh, and it is not possible to do it in an open field, and there is no other place in the entire Manila area that is more suitable than Nasugbu." ”
Jiang Haoran continued: "So, the airborne may be much more dangerous than we imagined. ”
Huang Jie thought for a while and said: "Nasugbu is a plain, a flat river, there are only a few crops on it, it is not easy to set up an ambush, as long as the troops can be airborne smoothly, with the combat effectiveness and sophisticated equipment of the Mi army, the island army should not be able to help them?" ”
Jiang Haoran said: "The plains are mainly planted with corn, now is the time when the straw is thick, if it is handled well, it is not difficult to ambush tens of thousands of troops, once it begins to be airborne, it will not be recovered, if there is continuous fire below, only corpses will be airborne." ”
"Hiss......" Huang Jie gasped, and then said urgently: "The day before the airborne, we can use a large number of incendiary bombs to burn these corn fields, and the enemy will have nothing to hide, right?" The next day, we started to parachute again, and anyway, they had already guessed the location of the airborne, and it was not a surprise. ”
"Well, that's a good idea." Jiang Haoran nodded.
"If I were the Island Army, I would have set up an ambush where you burned it."
The very abrupt female voice made both of them look sideways at the door, only to find that Leng Rushuang didn't know when she was already standing behind them, but since she could say this, it was obvious that they had almost heard their conversation.
"You mean digging holes?" Jiang Haoran was able to penetrate it at one point, obviously, the burned place must be bare, and if you want to set up an ambush, you can only choose underground.
Without waiting for Leng Rushuang to answer, the next second, Jiang Haoran slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" If the ambush is set up underground, there is no need to use any cornfield at all, but the flatter the place, the safer and more deterrent. ”
Huang Jie smiled: "What did I say, my sister-in-law is too talented to be the commander of a division who is only a division, right?" ”
Leng Rushuang smiled at Huang Jie in return, and then said to Jiang Haoran: "In this way, your airborne troops will be more than lucky." ”
"Yes...... You...... Have you already thought of a solution? Jiang Haoran looked at Leng Rufrost with an uncertain expression.
"Do the opposite." Cold as frost.
"The opposite? How is it reversed? Jiang Haoran said curiously.
……
Subic Bay.
The place that has been destroyed by solidification* is naturally a scorched earth, if there are no facilities left, everywhere you can see is a black and swarthy place, bulldozers have carved a flat field in the scorched earth, a wooden house has been quietly erected, and the former enemy headquarters of the Yuanyi Group Army is located here.
Liu Dakun naturally also went ashore from the "Qi Jiguang" aircraft carrier.
The headquarters, barracks, logistics warehouses, ports, docks, and so on all have to be rebuilt, so the entire area of Subic Bay within a radius of dozens of kilometers is a patch of grass-green soldiers in military uniforms busy.
All kinds of bulldozers, excavators, cranes, trucks are busy.
Fortunately, Jiang Haoran gave them more time to let them fight steadily, so the troops did not rush forward, and the soldiers ushered in a rare leisure time before the war.
Swimming in the sea, sleeping on the beach, chasing, chatting, farting, smoking and drinking, it is also a pleasure.
But the headquarters was busy, and the generals at all levels gathered together to prepare for careful deployment.
Jungle warfare is different from land warfare in that it is much more complex and dangerous.
First of all, the tropical rainforest has a high temperature, humid and rainy, which has a strong test of the reliability of weapons and equipment, and the sediment is easy to enter the bolt, which leads to jamming, and then there is the test of soldiers, there are many mosquitoes in the rainforest, which are prone to malaria, cholera, and other epidemics, as well as poisonous snakes and beasts in the jungle all pose a threat to the life safety of soldiers!
But these are only the appearances, and the real difficulties are still in the operational part.
Fighting in tropical mountains and jungles is a huge challenge to the troops' operations, because the jungles are tall and densely forested, the rain and fog are shrouded, and the visual and firing range is limited.
The roads are rugged, the roads are few and the quality is poor, which is not conducive to the mobility of troops, the rivers and streams are crisscrossed, the terrain is complex, and command and coordination are difficult.
The terrain is dangerous, the climate is changeable, the logistical support tasks are more difficult, the giant insects and poisonous beasts are numerous, the diseases are prevalent, and the non-combat attrition is contested...... And so on and so forth.
The solution to these factors must be concretely formulated before the war.
The Yuanyi Group Army has under the jurisdiction of the New Fifth Division, the Qing 211 Division, the Qing 212 Division, the Qing 213 Division, the Qing 221 Division, the Qing 222 Division, six infantry divisions, a heavy artillery division directly under the headquarters, a tank division directly under the headquarters, a guard regiment directly under the headquarters, and a helicopter brigade, totaling eight divisions, a guard regiment of 5,000 people, and an army aviation brigade of 3,000 people.
Except for the New Fifth Division, which is a division of the first type, with a total strength of more than 24,000 troops in nine regiments, and the other divisions are all division of the second type, with an establishment of more than 14,000 in four regiments, with a total strength of more than 140,000.
Of course, the 3rd Marine Division of Zhu Jinyuan and the 2nd Marine Division of Wang Teng are also dispatched by Liu Dakun.
The establishment of the Marine Corps belongs to the B division, but the staffing is more complex than that of the army division, with more than 18,000 troops, so the troops that Liu Dakun can mobilize actually reach more than 180,000.
At the same time, the First Fleet, the Third Fleet, and the air forces of the entire Indochina Peninsula provided him with fire support.
On the other hand, according to the initial intelligence, the island army initially only had the 237th Division to defend north of Clark and the 18th Division to defend west of Clark.
When the Yuanyi Army attacked Mindoro Island, four more divisions of the Island Army landed in the Philippines from the mainland, and it is expected that there may be two or three more divisions in the rear of these two divisions.
In addition to the 18th Division, which belongs to the B Division, the 237th Division belongs to the C Division, and the 237th Division belongs to the C Division.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the island army now does not know how many emergency conscriptions it is, and the source of troops has long been on the verge of exhaustion, and basically men over the age of 15 and under 60 have begun to be incorporated into the army, and the age gap is so large that it can be mottled, and it will be hellish if such a team can have high combat effectiveness.
