Chapter 833: The Minister of Defense is shameless

"Again? Standby equipment was activated, the main attacking force attacked with the whole army, the second echelon followed up, the rapid advance group followed up after the first echelon and the second echelon tore apart, and the reserve team was ready to respond. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The interference of his own communications was immediately learned by Marshal Ustinov, and he confidently issued several orders. First, the first echelon will open a breakthrough or carry out a breakthrough attack, and then use the follow-up echelon to carry out a high-speed, multi-way, and large-depth attack to implement a breakthrough and expand the results. This is the traditional way of fighting in the USSR, a surprise attack in great depth......

Under the conditions for the implementation of a large-depth campaign, the attacking side must have a relatively large superiority in troops, and at the same time have a strong mobile force to undertake the task of rapid breakthrough and expansion. In the past two days, Ustinov has all the red side under his command, so he does not hesitate to crush the blue position with the strongest posture until all the resistance of the blue side forces is crushed.

"Attack the connection point of the combat echelon of the red side with all firepower, concentrate the air force outside the ground air defense circle, do not clash with Ustinov, delay the assembly time of the other side, and attack the first echelon of the red side with the whole army of the coalition army." Serov, when he gave the electronic jamming, quickly issued a second order.

"Ustinov forgot one thing, I am also a member of the National Defense Committee, I know the army of my country, and I also understand the Great Assault in Depth!" Serov shouted to all the operational staff officers, "The most important thing is that I know him well. ”

Not only is Ustinov familiar with and perfected, but Serov is also familiar with it, and his familiarity with the whole country makes up for the biggest shortcoming of the blue side, and it may be possible for Serov to command NATO troops and resist for two or three more days. But will he betray the Soviet Union? If he was young, maybe he would, but now he can't get more hairy girls, and he doesn't have this opportunity.

Serov chose to attack, once all the preparatory steps of the Soviet Union were completed, the huge ground forces were activated, and it was impossible for the blue side to win, you must know that the General Political Commissar did not contribute at all, and the ground forces of the Soviet Union were much stronger than in history, in this case, once Ustinov was completed, the blue army troops would be crushed.

In the Kremlin, some of the last remaining old marshals watched the entire exercise from God's perspective through live broadcasts.

"Yura knows every step of the Great Depth Assault, as well as the direction of the attack, the preparation time and the speed of the assault, so he attacks first before the Minister of Defense moves, wanting to disrupt the deployment of the Minister of Defense." Marshal Bagramian carefully observed the situation on the entire battlefield, and finally shook his head and said, "But even so, he has almost no chance of victory, and he has already played at a super level if he can use it to the end." ”

"It can't be said that the blue side is mainly equipped in the air force, and the alliance army has always served as an imaginary enemy force, which is actually stronger than the average force." Another old marshal who had not yet entered the coffin, Chuikov, said, "The exercise has just begun, let's take a look, there is still a long time." ”

Serov's electromagnetic interference was useful, but not great. Just as the General Political Commissar knows the Minister of Defense very well, the Minister of Defense also knows the General Political Commissar very well, for example, the electromagnetic interference, which the KGB is good at, has long been promoted by Ustinov to the entire Soviet army, and after the backup high-power radio station was activated, the command system of the Red side has been fully restored.

But immediately, Ustinov received reports from various units that many of them were attacked by surface-to-surface missiles. Having received bad losses, "the original plan was as usual, and the first echelon made a forced march and tore the gaps." ”

"The coalition army is the first echelon, the Warsaw Pact coalition army is the second echelon, and the Greek Defense Forces, the Cheka division, and the KGB division are the reserves, and they will be deployed according to the plan to carry out a large-depth assault." Serov took the phone and gave an order to the troops, "Don't forget, my subordinates are also Warsaw Pact troops, and I will also ...... a large in-depth assault"

"All the forces of the air force were lifted into the air, and the ground air defense forces followed the first echelon to block the superior air force equipped by the blue side, creating a sheltered area of 200 kilometers. The surface-to-surface missile forces counterattacked, destroying the airfields of the blue side. Serov's Blue Force is equipped with Su-27 fighters, although they are more threatening than their own MiG-29 fighters, but they are useless and rely heavily on airfields.

Ground forces are used to decide the outcome of any battle, and it is impossible for any aircraft to stay in the sky and never come down. From the attack of the first wave of ground-based missiles on the blue side, he realized that Serov was not ready to come over and go through the motions, but to win.

"It is necessary to regard the corps, not the division, as the main combat unit on the battlefield, and the "attack in depth" as the key to victory, requiring that the troops carrying out the attack in depth must quickly cross the forward line of the already side and advance into the enemy's depth, engage the selected enemy, and destroy the enemy's follow-up echelon in the movement; At the same time, because there is an obvious risk in the use of troops in the enemy's rear area, it is necessary to achieve full coordination and unity with the air force in integrated air-ground warfare, and to carry out battlefield air interdiction and offensive air support. "Serov, after the imaginary enemy units of the Union Army, began to change unlike anything before.

That is, NATO is still exploring the air-ground integrated war, unlike NATO, the ground armed forces in his hands are not as disparity as between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, although the ground forces of the blue side are not as good as the red side, but there is definitely a fight. Therefore, he used the Soviet Union's own large-depth assault as a cover for an air-ground battle, so that Ustinov thought that he was going to attack him.

"No, this kind of deployment of the General Political Commissar is not a large-depth assault, this is a strategic idea that NATO is still exploring, NATO's air-ground integrated battle!" Deputy Chief of the General Staff, General Akhromeyev, combined the situation of the two sides, made his own judgment, and suddenly stood up and said, "And the troops of the General Political Commissar are equipped with Warsaw Pact troops, as well as the high-status KGB Internal Guard, the traditional imaginary enemy forces of the blue side, the coalition army, and the ground forces are equal to or even more than the Soviet army with the same number, far exceeding the ordinary NATO troops, because the blue side has very few troops, and the air force allocated to the blue side before the exercise is tilted." If the General Political Commissar follows NATO's operational ideas, this is a force with the dual advantages of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. ”

"Huh?" Brezhnev raised his head, pondered Akhromeyev's words, and said slowly, "Yura knows the Ministry of Defense very well, although the personal command may be much worse than Ustinov, but in modern warfare, with the assistance of many staff officers, mistakes can be avoided, and it seems that Comrade Ustinov will usher in a bitter battle." ”

Of course, Brezhnev hoped that the red side would win, because the red side represented the Soviet Union, and if the blue side won, wouldn't it mean that the Soviet Union could not defeat NATO? But he didn't want to interfere with the commanders of both sides, and wanted to know what the result would be when it was closest to actual combat.

Little by little, less than four hours passed, the map of the situation in front of Brezhnev was updated, and other senior Soviet commanders were waiting here, waiting for the final result.

Early in the morning of the third day, two large armies of the red and blue sides, using the same strategy, collided together, and attacked each other in a large depth assault, and the 100,000 blue side of the coalition army and the 150,000 red side of the Soviet army collided fiercely. Fighting was carried out within a range of hundreds of kilometers, and war reports were constantly sent to the Kremlin, because the losses of both sides were huge, and the troops that withdrew from the exercise had exceeded five divisions.

"If this is a real battle, we will be in big trouble." Brezhnev also said to many old marshals with a heavy heart that many people here have experienced the Great Patriotic War. The loss of more than 70,000 people in one day was also rare during the Great Patriotic War, and according to this ratio, even if Ustinov wins, it is estimated that there will be nothing left.

Marshal Bagramyan, Marshal Chuikov, and Admiral Akhromeyev all nodded their heads, although the blue side took advantage of the plan, but this kind of data is still heartbreaking, if the Warsaw Pact and NATO have to pay this price, then they, the leaders of the Ministry of Defense, have to find a way now.

"Can't chew?" By the afternoon, Ustinov and Serov had discovered the problem almost simultaneously. The Soviet troops under Ustinov were as hard as turtle shells, and coincidentally, Ustinov thought so too.

Military observers from other countries were dumbfounded, at least the Soviets did not lie to them on this point, this was indeed a very close to the actual combat exercise, so that the most discerning military personnel of any country could not find fault.

On the fourth day, after a night of consideration, Marshal Ustinov finally decided that the whole army pressed all echelons and marched together to defeat the Union Army, Serov also knew that once the Union Army encountered several times the Red Army, the speed of destruction would be greatly accelerated, "The second echelon is ready to fight and fight to the end." ”

Serov is very helpless, Ustinov's move is very shameless, the red side is purely composed of the Soviet Red Army, and his own Blue Army is composed of Warsaw Pact troops from various countries, and there must be some unsatisfactory places in command.

The aerial reconnaissance forces of both sides constantly fed back the latest situation, and when it was learned that Serov had crushed the second echelon, Marshal Ustinov laughed and said, "Do you know? The General Political Commissar lost, informed the troops, and after surrounding the coalition forces, concentrated on crushing the troops of the Warsaw Pact countries and cutting off the connection between the first and second echelons of the Blue Army. His great depth assault will naturally fail......"

Everyone knew that the decisive battle between the red side and the blue side was about to begin, and when the troops of the second echelon of the two sides arrived, Ustinov immediately ordered to concentrate his forces on attacking the second echelon of the blue side composed of the Warsaw Pact coalition forces.
