Chapter 161: Plans
At noon on 5 June, Koval and officers at and above the company level gathered around a simple sand table model to observe carefully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is the sand table we made based on the description of Utena by the inhabitants here, and we also sent soldiers to Utena to reconnoiter the terrain and the enemy's troop deployment, which is the most accurate sand table we have now. However, because the Soviet troops were very tightly controlled, our soldiers did not succeed in infiltrating the city, so there may be some errors. Kanas quickly explained.
"I used to just hear that those generals like to use this thing in war, but I didn't expect that we can use it now." Alex quipped.
"Preparations are good, but monitoring of the area around Utena continues. Reconnaissance of the enemy must be done carefully, and the more prepared you are, the fewer soldiers will die during the attack. Koval stood on the edge of the sand table and said, "Let's discuss and arrange the plan of the attack. ”
"The enemy army has just been defeated, trapped in a lonely city, and demoralized, we can surround us on all sides and annihilate all the enemy in Utena." Parker said immediately.
"With the strength and equipment of our army, it is enough to press it directly, and with a cannon bombardment, these remnants of the defeated army will not be our opponent." Alex said excitedly.
"Utene is a big town with tens of thousands of inhabitants, and if we fire shells indiscriminately, it is very easy to cause a lot of civilian casualties." Johnson thought about it for a moment and said slowly.
"How can there be no accidental injury in the war? Just let them hide in their homes. If we don't care about civilian casualties, we don't have to fight. It's a joke! Alex looked at Jonson and said loudly.
"If we think of the people of Utena as citizens of Poland, we should think about their safety. Unless we don't think so? Jonson said softly.
"Utena is our territory, and the people there are naturally Polish citizens, and we will consider their lives and will not use artillery at will." Koval said calmly.
"Do you want us to lure the enemy out and destroy them outside the town, just as we did in Inner Menchne?" Locke made a suggestion.
Kovar thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the enemy won't fall for it again." Now that the enemy army has just been defeated and its morale is low, it should not take the initiative to attack. It's not easy to lure them out. ”
"What then?" A group of people fell into deep thought.
"We are fighting a surprise battle, and since the enemy is too timid to come out of the town, we will drive them out and fight." Koval clenched his fists and said firmly, "We will use a stormy attack to stun the enemy, break their organization and break them down, leaving them with only one way to escape." ”
"Sir, how you say to fight, we will fight!" Alex patted his chest and reassured.
"Kanas, you have to hurry up your time to collect information about Utena, you must find the enemy's command center, and other important locations such as barracks, ammunition depots, and contact points must also be collected as much as possible." Koval looked at him and said seriously.
"Yes, sir, I will do my best to ensure that the task is completed." Kanas said firmly.
Koval and the others simulated the attack in detail, turned his head, and said to Jonsson, "How about this plan?" ”
"It's already a good plan, not the best plan." Although it may still cause some accidental injury, Johnson said that he can understand and accept it.
"Sir, why are we attacking on the northwest and southwest sides?" Locke asked.
"It's really a tactical principle, one side of the story," Koval explained. When attacking, only attack one point, encircle two sides (open two sides or even three sides). One of these two sides is the main attack, and the other is covering and containing. Concentrate forces on one point, and adopt a combination of vertical (point) and dispersed (surface). Then, at the beginning of the assault, only two or three platoons entered the battle, forming a 'refueling tactic' of increasing troops and consuming them one after another;
7/9-8/9 troops are placed on the point, and 2/9-1/9 troops are placed on the surface; It is necessary to carry out the absolutization of the concentration of forces at the point. Concentrate forces to open an opening to ensure the defeat of the enemy. If one is broken, the rest will fall. They only compare their own forces with those of their own points and areas, deploy troops only on two sides, and oppose encirclement on all sides. Encirclement on all sides is egalitarianism, lacks focus, and forces the enemy to fight in a trapped beast.
Just now Alex proposed to fight a war of annihilation in Utana. Although the annihilation war is the most devastating blow to the enemy's army, you must keep in mind that you cannot encircle and annihilate a city without five or even ten times the number of troops. Although the morale of the enemy army is low, if we are surrounded on all sides, we will let the enemy army die and come back to life, and finally form a terrible war of attrition.
The configuration of 'faces': it can be 'one point and one side', or 'one point and two sides', or even 'one point and many sides'. It can be 'a little faceless', it can be 'multi-point multi-faceted', it can be 'there is a surface in the point, and there is a little bit in the surface'.
The center is to concentrate troops, and only talk about the comparison of troops on their own points, and concentrate their own forces on one point. As for the comparison with the strength of the enemy forces on the battlefield, it can not be advantageous. ”
Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this.
"The attack plan is almost complete, and when the time comes, we can adjust it according to the information we get. The specific implementation still depends on the troops, and we must strengthen the training of the troops for siege. Koval said, putting down the plan.
"Our troops have been conducting siege training in the past few days, and the results have been very good." Locke said.
"In order to avoid a large number of casualties among troops and civilians in this siege, the action must be fast, ruthless and accurate. Training out of thin air is still a bit worse, and it's best for us to conduct actual combat simulation training. Koval thought for a moment and said.
"Actual combat simulation training?" The other officers looked at Koval in confusion.
"It's to find a town, simulate it as Utena, and let the troops conduct siege training." Koval explained.
"Where are we going to find a spare town?" Alex said depressedly.
"I think it's a good place! There were a few blocks that were still empty, and we could take a handful of the inhabitants out of them and use them to simulate. Koval said earnestly.
"Are you serious?" The others looked at Koval and said, no one would have thought of training in a town with inhabitants.
"Of course, is there any other way?" Koval said with a slight smile.
"Then you have to be careful with your wallet! How much does it cost? Locke said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
