Nong Chenhao's mood relaxed, but Shousheng's mood was hanging in the half-old. 【Reading.com】

At noon in Ankara, Turkey, Duchway received news from Stark that a highly mobile unit suspected to be the elite of the Republican Army had appeared in central Iran. It is very regrettable that the satellite system has been jammed, so it is impossible to accurately judge the nature of this force, and only one thing is certain, and that is that the operation of this force has been carried out by thousands of kilometers per hour, because by the time the reconnaissance satellite arrives again after a few minutes, the unit is already thousands of kilometers away.

It is definitely not easy to march through the ground forces with a combat force of 4,000 meters per hour.

You must know that at the beginning of the century, even theoretically, no main ground force could march more than kilometers per hour, because the maximum road driving degree of main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and other main battle equipment at that time was below the kilometer per hour. It was not until the advent of the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles with a combat weight of about Wang Stew and within a ton that the theoretical marching degree of the main force on the ground exceeded 4,000 meters per hour. In reality, no army would march so quickly. The reason is simple: with the maximum march, the vehicle's power system and walking gear will be seriously worn out, the failure rate will be greatly increased, the combat efficiency of the troops will be greatly reduced, and it will not even be able to enter the battle when it reaches the battlefield. Even during the Indian War, the maximum march created by the Republican Army was within a kilometer per hour, and only when a tactical assault was carried out, the armored units would sprint at a distance of more than four kilometers per hour.

Needless to say, it was certainly not a combat unit of the Iranian Army.

The problem is, Dudgway can't be sure that it must be an elite unit of the Republican Army.

The first combat unit is famous, and Ling Yunxiao is even more famous, but this fierce general has no reason to let the troops exhaust all their strength on the march.

Besides, even so, Ling Yunxiao had a reason to arrange a feint force to make the opponent make a wrong judgment.

The reason for Du Nianwei's idea was very simple, the size of the army should be not too big or small.

According to the information provided by the company, the number of the unit should be above the number of the old people, which is equivalent to 2 reinforced battalions or 3 ordinary battalions. If it is the vanguard force that opens the way in front, it is undoubtedly a little too big, after all, the total strength of a single person in the first battle is also bullied by 10,000 people, of which the real front-line combat strength is only about 3 people, there is no reason to take out more than four thugs to act as the pioneer If it is the main force, it will be too little, even if Ling Yunxiao leaves the support brigade and artillery brigade behind, where are about eighty percent of the combatants?

It was only in the evening that Du Qiwei changed his opinion.

The unit, which had been advancing toward northwestern Iran, only made a brief half-hour break around the old point local time before continuing on its way. By the time it got dark, this unit had advanced more than 1,000 kilometers on Iran's high-grade highway under the noses of the US reconnaissance satellites. Other words. The amount of the troops' march in one afternoon is equal to the amount of the U.S. army's march in a day. What's more. There was no sign of the unit slowing down or finding a place to rest overnight. That is, there is a high probability that this force will reach the Iranian province of West Azerbaijan before dawn.

The mother is undoubted. This is definitely an elite unit of the Army of the Republic.

Another reason for Duchway's judgment is that "at least the Wangwang train departed from Kerman that afternoon, and the destination was West Azerbaijan Province in the northwestern part of Iran, not Tehran in the north." That is, it is quite possible that the main forces of the 1st combat unit will maneuver by rail, and not by road.

Duchway's suspicion was confirmed that night, when the train to Tabriz, the capital of West Azerbaijan, to be precise, East Azerbaijan, was loaded with main battle equipment and war materiel, and a train was hung with a car on the field. According to the calculation of a carriage carrying young soldiers, there are about 10,000 soldiers on the train, which are basically all the front-line combatants of the first combat unit.

The situation was already bright, and Dudgway did not hesitate. The new address of this site has been changed to: Heart. 8. Please read the law!

Before the Turkish sky had darkened, Duchway ordered the strategic reconnaissance planes of the US Air Force stationed on the Italian island of Sicily to immediately take off and patrol the skies over eastern Turkey, using synthetic aperture radar with a detection range of more than 1,000 kilometers to find out the whereabouts of the elite units of the Republic Army. One more thing has to be clarified. That is the assembly of the first combat unit.

Although Du Qiwei still believed that Ling Yunxiao would not attack in a hurry, after all, the march was more than a kilometer, and the officers and men of the first combat unit did not need to rest and recuperate, and so many main battle equipment also needed to be maintained. Besides. It's not too much to spend a day preparing before going on a big attack. However, past experience has taught Du Qiwei that he must not rely on experience and intuition to judge opponents, especially Pei Chengyi's combat style. If necessary, Pei Chengyi will definitely let the first battle attack alone.

Of course, Du Qiwei did not ignore Yuan Chenhao.

As early as the time of his appointment, Dudgway told Stark to find the old and fourth. Asking for all of Yuan Chenhao's personal information, the sixth time was not very important, after all, Du Qiwei's main opponent was Pei Chengyi, not Yuan Chenhao, who was only in charge of the northern front. After getting Yuan Chenhao's profile, Stark didn't think so. Back then, when Du Qiwei was defeated by Pei Chengyi on the battlefield on the peninsula, Pei Chengyi was only a colonel and staff officer. When Yuan Chenhao became famous on the battlefield, he was also a colonel. This is still secondary, and the intelligence officials of the four clearly mentioned that Yuan Chenhao is one of the best generals in the Republic after Pei Chengyi. More importantly, because Pei Chengyi faded out of the army prematurely, especially when he lost to Lin Xiaolei in the competition for the chief of the general staff, it is very likely that Yuan Chenhao's achievements in the army will eventually surpass Pei Chengyi and become the most important general of the Republic in the century.

In any case, Du Qiwei has no reason to ignore Yuan Chenhao.

In fact, it was the evaluation of Yuan Chenhao by the intelligence officers of the fourth that made Duchway make concessions to Dayan in Tel Aviv. Dayan was promised full command of combat operations on the southern front, while he was only responsible for combat operations on the northern front. That is, to concentrate on dealing with the young general who is not much worse than Pei Chengyi.

In Du Qiwei's view, Yuan Chenhao's ** to win must have surpassed Pei Chengyi.

After the Falklands War, Pei Chengyi "disappeared" for several years, and Du Qiwei concluded that Pei Chengyi was working to "break away" from the army. Although the later situation deviated from his expectations, he still believed that Pei Chengyi did not consciously and voluntarily command this war. For this soldier who has climbed to the peak of his military career. If you continue to fight, you won't be able to make a bigger breakthrough, and he's not yet a fallen age! A concave general, as long as he still has a little fighting spirit and does not want to waste the rest of his life, he should work hard in the political circles. In this way, the victory or defeat of this war, to be precise, will not have a great impact on Pei Chengyi. Contrary to Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao's military achievements were not enough to make him proud of the world, and before catching up with Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao had to work hard in the army. In other words, Yuan Chenhao must hope for a great victory. Even if he doesn't expect to take advantage of this to cross Pei Chengyi, he should take advantage of this opportunity to become a soldier with huge influence like Pei Chengyi.

For the general, the prerequisite for victory is a strong **.

Driven by **, Yuan Chenhao has a reason to do anything.

Moreover, Du Kwavi attaches great importance to this opponent who is many years younger than Pei Chengyi.

The US Air Force's strategic reconnaissance planes took off from their base on Sicily, and Duchway contacted General Blucher, who was about to arrive at the front line, and asked this equally brave and fearless soldier to send several unmanned reconnaissance planes to closely monitor the Turkish-Iranian border area in the direction of Van Province when he was deploying defensive positions. The new address of this site has been changed to: a few goo, please log in to read!

This arrangement quickly had an immediate effect.

In the early hours of the morning, several small units of unmanned reconnaissance planes crossed the border and entered Turkish territory.

Although Blucher immediately contacted the Turkish border guards stationed in the border area and asked them to immediately send scouts to intercept enemy reconnaissance troops entering Turkish territory, the US lieutenant general could not hope to put it on the Turkish army and decided to be self-reliant.

After sending several reconnaissance units out on VTOL transports, Blucher reported the situation to Duchway.

Duchway did not make any adjustments to Blucher's arrangement, but only asked Blucher to make preparations for rescuing the wounded, and promised to deliver a special force to the hands of the lieutenant general within hours. Other words. Dudgway did not believe that the scouts sent out by Blücher were the opponents of those scouts of the Republican Army.

The First Combat Unit is the first and most powerful unit of the Republican Army. Although many years ago, the Republic Army brought all the special forces under the name of the General Staff Headquarters and established the world's most powerful special forces, we must not underestimate the "quasi-special forces" in the regular combat units of the Republic Army, that is, the reconnaissance units under the direct command of the headquarters of the combat units at all military levels. You must know that in the case that it is not possible to organize special forces directly under the army, all army commanders have established "reconnaissance units" whose combat effectiveness is far greater than that of ordinary reconnaissance units and that are under the direct command of the army commander in the name of strengthening reconnaissance capabilities.

No matter what these forces call them, their strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, Duchway did not pin his hopes on the US special forces.

Although after speaking with Blücher, he sent out a company of Rangers who had just arrived to report and told them to arrive in the war zone at night and follow General Blücher's command, but Dudgway did not send out the real special forces, the Navy SEALs who had come with the Rangers to report. Strictly speaking, the Rangers are just a more tenacious reconnaissance unit than ordinary troops, far less than the SEALs. Among other things, the Ranger has a strength of several thousand, and the total strength of the Navy SEALs has never been persuasive.

In any case, the intentions of the opponent are already very obvious.

On the phone with Blucher. Du Qiwei did not forget to remind the lieutenant general that while dealing with the reconnaissance units of the Republic Army, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of defensive positions, deploy defensive lines behind the Turkish army as soon as possible, focus on ensuring the intersection of various mountain roads, and set up bombs on important bridges, so as to make ideological preparations for blowing up the lines of communication. It can be said that in addition to not telling Bu to defend it explicitly. Dudgway has already said it thoroughly. The problem is that Blucher still upsets Duchway because he didn't get his warning

Look.

It was precisely like this, when Yuan Chenhao was relaxed, Du Qiwei was very anxious.

Hundreds of kilometers away, Blucher really didn't take Duchway's warning to heart.

In fact, Blucher had long been dissatisfied with the White House's arrangements, and what made him most unhappy was why a retired lieutenant general in the Army should be put in command of the war.

You must know that Du Qiwei's prestige in the US military is far less than Pei Chengyi's prestige in the Republican ** team.

In Blucher's opinion. It doesn't matter how powerful and well-connected Dudgway is. Nor should it be given special care. According to the rules, if Turkey is sent as a NATO ally, then the commander of the Eurocorps, that is, Blucher, is the commander of the coalition forces.

In other words, Duchway robbed Blucher of his job. The new address of this site has been changed to: a few goo, please log in to read!

Of course, over the course of a few months, Blucher's mood stabilized considerably. Dudgway's actions made the arrogant lieutenant general realize that he should not be prejudiced against the Marine Corps general. If Dudgway is not capable enough, he will certainly not be able to gain the trust of the White House.

More importantly, Blucher lacked actual combat experience, especially in commanding large corps operations.

During the Iran War, Blucher, who was still a major in the army at the time, left Iran with the main force of the 1st Fighter Panzer Division and returned to his station in Germany, when Blücher was already a colonel. In order to get a better future, Blucher chose to return to the military academy for further study at this time. In other words, he missed the Peninsula War that broke out immediately after, and when Du Qiwei made great achievements on the Peninsula battlefield, he studied hard at the American Academy in New York State, which is the world-famous West Point Military Academy, with a group of young people who were years younger than him. Although this training paved the way for Blucher's future promotion, and also laid the foundation for his later military reforms, so that his achievements were no less than those of Duchway, but missing the Korean Peninsula War made him lack the most valuable thing, that is, the experience of fighting against the republican team.

In Blucher's opinion. No matter how powerful the republican ** team is, it is also a human army, not a god's

Team.

This is the case, and Blucher believes that as long as it is a problem that cannot be overcome by the human army, the army of the republic cannot overcome it. With his confidence in the US military, he has enough reason to believe that no matter how powerful the Republic Army is, it is impossible to attack a military fortress of more than 4,000 meters with armored forces without basic conditions.

When he received Dugway's warning, Blucher's first thought was that Duchway was too cautious.

In his opinion, the appearance of the reconnaissance unit of the Republic Army across the border line into Van Province does not mean that the Republic Army is preparing to attack Van Province to the west, but to make a feint in that direction to make the opponent think that they will attack on this side, and then enter Turkish territory from the south, which is more easily in the way. In his briefing to the Pentagon, Blucher mentioned that the second combat unit of the Republican Army had reached Nineveh Province in Iraq, less than a kilometer away from Turkey, and although the First Combat Unit that had reached West Azerbaijan Province in Iran was less than four kilometers away from Turkey, it had taken into account the terrain. As well as the reputation of the two combat units, it is quite possible that the Republic Army will make a feint with the first combat unit and attack Hakari province from the south with the second combat unit, thus breaking through the border defense line of the Turkish army.

Based on this judgment, Blucher insisted that the defense should be deployed in the province of Hakkari, with the line facing south.

Mother Yong undoubtedly said that this was something that gave Du Qiwei more headaches.

When it's almost dawn. Duchway had to hold a video conference with Blucher through the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In front of the generals of the Joint Staff, Blucher was like a stimulated rooster, trying to convince Duchway that his judgment was absolutely not wrong. There is no doubt that Du Qiwei is also a general who will not give in easily. Although it is not good for him to accuse Blucher of disobeying orders to his face, after all, Blucher is a big celebrity in the US Army. It is even possible to become a major member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Bengnei, but on the issue of operations, Du Qiwei will certainly not budge.

Argument to the end. The two had to make concessions to each other.

Blucher agreed to deploy the defensive line by placing at least four battalions to the east of Van province, placing the campaign reserve in Bashkale in the south-east of Van province, and building the eastern line of defense after the arrival of reinforcements. In addition to arranging for the transportation of the European Corps, the 1st Panzer Division and the 3rd Infantry Division, as soon as possible, Duchway also promised to give priority to the European Corps in arranging air support.

In fact, it was a result that didn't make much sense.

For Dudgway. The problem has just popped up. Blucher's self-imposed actions are only the tip of the iceberg. For Dugway, who was promoted to the rank of commander of the coalition forces upon his return to the army, he had to watch out for enemies within the army in addition to the enemies on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, Blucher dared to go against Duchway, and he must have the support of some senior US generals.

The question is, does Dudgway still have enough time to address these issues?
