"As soon as the advances on the jishu can be used for military purposes, they immediately and almost forcibly, and often against the will of the commander, cause a change or even a change in the way of warfare." Engels' famous thesis revealed the basic relationship between Jishu's progress and theoretical innovation, and became one of the classic bases for military theoretical innovation. In the information age in which science is changing with each passing day, weapons and equipment are constantly developing, and people's quality is generally improving, we should strengthen our sense of urgency to change our way of thinking and focus on pioneering and innovating, follow the law that theoretical innovation is premised on progress, and at the same time attach importance to giving play to the leading role of theoretical innovation, so that theoretical innovation can be enriched with more positive and enterprising ideological qualities.

Demand-driven and jishu promotion are the basic forms of innovation in the army's operational theory. Advanced design and multipolar development are the future direction of the Army's operational theory innovation.

Focusing on the needs of future wars, the Red Guard Corps should also have a tactical and strategic concept that combines its own reality. In just a few years, the armed forces of developed countries have successively introduced new theories such as capability-based operations, network-centric warfare, precision engagements, and rapid and decisive operations. At present, there has also been a flourishing scene in the innovation of the Red Guard Corps' operational theory, and new operational theories, including the theory of information warfare, have initially formed a system. Of course, since innovation has just begun, many new operational theories are still being explored.

The motives for the innovation of operational theories of the armed forces of various countries are multifaceted, and their theoretical systems also have their own characteristics, and Li Lan's instructions to the Red Police Corps are: Draw on and absorb the advanced operational theories that lead the direction of the development of the Shijie Army. But we must not blindly imitate others. Truly advanced systems of operational theory often have their own distinctive characteristics, even at the same level. The advanced systems of operational theory are also different.

In the Second Shijie War, the German army used the theory of "blitzkrieg" with the air force aviation fire assault as the forerunner and the rapid assault of tank clusters as the main body. The Soviet Army, on the other hand, has created the theory of "great depth" with artillery fire assault as the mainstay and heavy encirclement and penetration in depth as the main style, while the US military has created the theory of "joint operations" with the coordinated actions of the army, navy, and air force as the main body...... All of these operational theories have played a winning role in different stages of warfare.

Just as Li Lan said, there is no need for the Red Police Corps to copy those mature tactics on Shijie, but it must formulate strategies and tactics that suit its own actual conditions.

In the face of the challenge of informationization, in order to maintain the advanced nature of the army's operational theory, the most important thing is to scientifically establish the guiding ideology for the innovation of the army's operational theory -- in accordance with the principle of comprehensive planning, advanced design, and step-by-step implementation, with informationization as the base point and integrated joint operations as the goal. In the form of air-to-ground long-range precision firepower strikes and with the innovation of operational methods as the content, efforts should be made to build the army's operational theory system into an operational theory system that meets the needs of future informationized warfare, reflects the development trend of Shijie's advanced operational theory, and has the distinctive characteristics of the Red Guard Corps.

The first is to always maintain the initiative strategically. Future wars should not simply deal with them, but should avoid their sharp edges and give full play to their own strategies and tactics. The second is to focus on the weak points. In general, the combat system is the strong point, and the support system is the weak point. Although the strengths and weaknesses of different combat targets are distinct, I am afraid that it is more advantageous to focus on the weak points. Third, it is necessary to grasp a combat focus. Whether it is a strategic, campaign, or tactical operation, it is necessary to concentrate on the center of gravity, and combat operations can be carried out simultaneously on the entire front. But there can only be one center of gravity.

In terms of integrated joint operations of the three services, due to the lack of spy satellites, various arms of the armed forces conducted coordinated combat exercises. It is still a virtual training, and no substantive exercises have been conducted.

Spy satellites. Li Lan has already made it, and it's not just one. It's just that it hasn't been launched. He had to find the most opportune time to launch. And that time is not far off.

The traffic was rolling, shouting and killing, and in the following time, a comprehensive tactical exercise of confrontation under high jishu conditions was launched on this barren land. Hundreds of grassroots commanders of the No. 1 Heavy Division of the Red Guard Corps skillfully used various equipment to practice intelligence acquisition, information transmission, command and control, and firepower strikes against the same tactical background, and fought wits and courage in the midst of impact and counter-shock, jamming and counter-jamming, and successfully completed drills on more than 20 topics, such as landing battles, positional offensive and defensive battles, urban offensive battles, and field survival, thus comprehensively improving the combat command ability and strategic level of the grassroots Red Police soldiers.

The complex electromagnetic environment, the situation under unknown conditions, the completely unfamiliar combat area, and the simulated professional and advanced weapons and equipment made the exercise full of challenges.

As the first composite unit of the Red Police Corps to be established at the division level, the First Heavy Division has always been pinned on by Li Lan, and it is a benchmark for the establishment of the second and third similar units, and it also provides a data reference for the establishment of light infantry units in the future. In coordination and drills among the various branches of the troops, mistakes should be corrected immediately and the establishment should be adjusted to the most reasonable state.

After 20 months of development, the strength of the army has increased from nearly 40,000 to 60,000. The four independent brigade-level units account for half of the total number of troops, and the strength of the first heavy division has reached more than 17,000 people, and the remaining 13,000 people, except for the 4,000 or so people (mobilized troops) of the total logistics department, the rest are missile units, meteorological support, integrated information confrontation, and army radar...... and other troops.

The total strength of the base has already approached 100,000, and each branch of the base has its own role, from the most basic mobilization troops to the Navy SEALs, it is a multi-service composite force. Even the engineers, all of whom were assigned to the basic support force, were also assigned weapons. The search for military dogs is also counted in the establishment. In order to give full play to the comprehensive reconnaissance work on the battlefield, Li Lan also specially distributed 10 to 16 military dogs to each field company. It is also equipped with a separate six-man sniper team, each with a sniper team of three or two people, and a total of three sniper rifles.

The purpose of this live exercise is to inspect the tactical coordination among various arms of the armed forces, and the exercise will last for three full days.

At the exercise site, combat groups equivalent to the size of companies and platoons were active in all corners of the battlefield. Although the scale of combat strength is not large, the structure of the arms is comprehensive. In addition to infantry, artillery, and armored troops, there are also special forces, air defense forces, and anti-chemical troops...... Wait. In a certain valley, in an encirclement and annihilation battle completed by a combat group independently, the commander flexibly applied all kinds of operations in his hands to exploit his strong points and avoid his weak points, and was unprepared to attack the "enemy." In just 30 minutes of fighting, a small battle group fought a three-dimensional battle of encirclement and annihilation, inflicting heavy losses on a battalion of the "enemy."

In this regard, Brigadier General Zhuang Zhifen, commander of the 1st Heavy Armament Division, commander-in-chief of the exercise, briefed the people who visited the exercise: "The key to victory or defeat in integrated joint operations under modern conditions depends on the overall effectiveness of the combat system. Each of them is a grassroots commander, and only by comprehensively integrating all kinds of military knowledge and skills they possess through integrated training can they realize the transformation of knowledge into comprehensive actual combat capability. ”

Zhuang Zhifen: A third-level elite Chinese soldier with the potential to be promoted to the hero level. Military position: Brigadier General and Division Commander of the 1st Heavy Division. Ability: Senior Commander Ability,......

"The things are all for you, the personnel are all in place, I will give you what you want. As for combat effectiveness, it is a guarantee you have to give me. I want a force that can fight and win battles. As the day's exercise drew to a close, Li Lan said as he walked out of the headquarters: "The exercise is only an assessment, and actual combat is the foundation." ”

"Humble duty understands." Zhuang Zhifen, like many generals, looks very young, and on the surface, he is not much different from Li Lan's age. But like every general, underneath their youthful appearance is a deep strategy.

Li Lan, who was about to leave, was about to step on the helicopter when a figure ran out of the command headquarters and reported to Zhuang Zhifen: "Report to the division commander, the radar unit has discovered a suspicious air target and is heading towards our exercise ground. ”

"Analyze it right away with the database." Zhuang Zhifen walked quickly to the headquarters.

Li Lan, who was just about to get on the helicopter, also stopped, turned around and returned to the headquarters.

"Report to the division commander, according to the analysis of the database, this target is the US military Predator drone. With an altitude of 10,000 and a speed of 200 kilometers, it is expected that we will arrive at the exercise area in 10 minutes. ”

As soon as Li Lan came in, he heard the sound of a report. Zhuang Zhifen didn't dare to make decisions on this kind of issue, and when he saw Li Lan coming in, he stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Commander, how should we deal with it." ”

"Warning to UAVs on an international longwave channel." In the current situation, Li Lan naturally can't take the initiative to act excessively, but if the other party insists on going his own way after the warning, it will be different.

"U.S. Predator drone, please note that you have entered the no-fly zone of our exercise, in order to avoid any misunderstanding caused by accidental injury, please leave immediately, if you insist on approaching our exercise area, all the consequences will be borne by yourself, and we will not be responsible. Repeat,......。 ”

"If this drone enters the airspace of the exercise site, there is no need to scruple and shoot it down for me." After Li Lan instructed Zhuang Zhifen, he left directly.

After Zhuang Zhifen saw Li Lan and the others leave, he immediately issued an order: "Order the air defense missile battalion to prepare live ammunition, and do not turn on the radar without my order to actively search for radars and phased array radars." (To be continued......)
