※When Yi Ya arrived at Li Dongshi, Yuan Chenhao was on a video call with Xiao Li, the first combat unit?

Because the vanguard of the 1st Combat Unit had been marching to the limit, it was only after the Beaters Reef had reached Bafg. Fortunately, with the active cooperation of the Iranian Air Force, the logistical support unit has already arrived in Bavg ahead of schedule and is ready to serve the vanguard troops. Because 3 pounds of hours ago, that is, when they arrived in Bam, the vanguard had rested for half an hour, so they did not stop in Bafge, and the troops completed the charging operation on the march?

In order to communicate with Yuan Chenhao, Ling Yunxiao's single directly subordinate guard company rushed to the front.

As we all know, Ling Yunxiao is the first fierce general of the Republic Army, and he has only respected one person in his life: Peng Maobang. Only one person has been obeyed: Xiang Linghui, and only one person has been admired: Pei Chengyi. If there is a fourth person who has received his attention, it must be Yuan Chenhao.

Ling Yunxiao has very complicated feelings about this young general who assisted Pei Chengyi in fighting the Indian War and then became the supreme commander of the South Asian Theater, who is almost 20 years younger than himself? When lamenting that the creator made people, Ling Yunxiao did not despise Yuan Chenhao, but loved this catty very much, "little brother". After the first combat unit was incorporated into the South Asian Theater, Ling Yunxiao became much more honest than before. Although the role of Xiang Linghui cannot be ruled out, after all, after Xiang Linghui, the life of the army generals is not very good, and the South Asian Theater has almost become a paradise for army generals, and Ling Yunxiao must set an example, but this also has a certain relationship with Yuan Chenhao, because Ling Yunxiao was the first to publicly say that in time, Yuan Chenhao will become a military commander like Pei Chengyi.

After years of cooperation, the relationship between Yuan Chenhao and Ling Yunxiao has long been extraordinary?

It was with this in mind that when the combat was deployed, Pei Chengyi left the first combat unit in the northern battlefield that Yuan Chenhao was responsible for, which was previously called the Eastern Theater, and gave Yuan Chenhao the greatest freedom of command. In Pei Chengyi's words to Ling Yunxiao, as long as no mistakes of principle are made, the Joint Command will not dictate the combat operations of the first combat unit.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Although in Pei Chengyi's deployment, Luo Shaopeng's second combat unit will remain in the northern region of Iraq, not only responsible for guarding the junction of the two fronts, but also acting as a campaign reserve. In other words, if it doesn't work well, Yuan Chenhao can ask for individual assistance in the second battle at any time. But Yuan Chenhao and Ling Yunxiao have a common idea, until the last moment, don't let Luo Shaopeng interfere in the combat operations on the Iranian side.

The relationship between Ling Yunxiao and Luo Shaopeng is not a secret.

During the Indian War, Luo Shaopeng was dissatisfied with Xiang Linghui's arrangement, and messed up two operations, if it wasn't for the bravery in the combat operation against Surat, I am afraid that Xiang Linghui would personally sign Luo Shaopeng's retirement document before leaving office. Luo Shaopeng saved his future in the last few chances of the Indian War, but did not save his relationship with Ling Yunxiao. According to Xiang Linghui's arrangement, Luo Shaopeng, as one of the army generals who "deserves to be trained", was also sent to the South Asian Theater to take charge of the second combat unit under Yuan Chenhao. Judging from the comments from the outside world, Xiang Linghui's move is nothing more than to leave a virtuous name of "employing people not nepotism", because when Xiang Linghui left office, generals like Luo Shaopeng in the Republic Army were no less than murderers, and Luo Shaopeng was the only one who dared to express his dissatisfaction with Xiang Linghui.

Anyway, the relationship between Ling Yunxiao and Luo Shaopeng is not much better.

It is precisely for this reason that in the past few years, although the first combat unit and the second combat unit have been stationed in South Asia, they have never conducted joint training, and even if they have participated in two theater-level exercises together, they are still opponents.

The relationship between Yuan Chenhao and Luo Shaopeng is not so extreme, but it is not harmonious.

Although Ling Yunxiao has also stepped out of the famous thorn, even if his temper is much better than before, he is still a standard military character, and he will fight for everything he encounters. often makes Yuan Chenhao unable to get off the stage, but no matter what, Ling Yunxiao has never been right about things and not people, even if he has quarreled, he will not go to his heart, let alone be cautious. Luo Shaopeng is completely an old kind of soldier, he rarely argues with Yuan Chenhao in public, but he is very stubborn, and when he encounters dissatisfied things, he often says one thing and does another, which makes Yuan Chenhao very helpless.

It's obvious. Yuan Chenhao prefers to work with straightforward people like Ling Yunxiao.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, before Pei Chengyi made campaign arrangements, Yuan Chenhao solicited Ling Yunxiao's opinion and determined that the first combat unit could complete offensive combat operations in the Iranian direction alone and did not need support forces. When Pei Chengyi was deploying, Yuan Chenhao patted his chest and assured that the first combat unit would be responsible for the frontal offensive operation alone, and the Iranian army would be responsible for logistics support. It was Yuan Chenhao's assurance that made Pei Chengyi make a later deployment, that is, the main task of the second combat unit is to defend Syria, not to attack Turkey in the north?

In fact, it is impossible for Pei Chengyi not to know Yuan Chenhao's thoughts.

It can be said that apart from Xiang Linghui, the person who knows Yuan Chenhao best is Pei Chengyi?

When Yuan Chenhao proposed that the first combat unit be responsible for the frontal attack, he did not mention the second combat unit, which made Pei Chengyi believe that the relationship between Yuan Chenhao and Luo Shaopeng was not very good. As for the relationship between Ling Yunxiao and Luo Shaopeng, Pei Chengyi has no reason to think that they are comrades-in-arms who can fight side by side.

It is the factory, : Er Chengyi stayed, years. That is, Li Dongshi's tenth combat unit

Ling Yunxiao will not cooperate with Luo Shaopeng, but he will not give Li Dongshi face. As the youngest of the commanders of the old combat units, Li Dongshi can be said to have a bright future in the Republic Army. According to outside estimates, this lieutenant general, who is less than 4 years old, will definitely become an army general when he is young, and become an army commander when he is at the age of Wu or at the age of so. If Yuan Chenhao hopes to make a difference outside the army, Li Dongshi could become chief of the general staff years after being a thug. Even if Yuan Chenhao plans to stay in the army for the rest of his life, Li Dongshi will make a big difference. More importantly, Li Dongshi is recognized as the No. 2 fierce general in the Republic Army. If it weren't for the qualifications, it would be much worse than Ling Yunxiao. He's definitely the number one general. For a soldier who believes in strength, Ling Yunxiao has no reason not to admire Li Dongshi.

Of course, Pei Chengyi won't give Ling Yunxiao face?

Since Ling Yunxiao guaranteed that the first combat unit could take on the heavy task of frontal attack alone, Pei Chengyi would not doubt it. After all, Pei Chengyi also respects Ling Yunxiao very much. It was this that the 10th combat unit did not go according to plan. Arrived in Iraq before the outbreak of war, but stayed in the port of Gwadar. Although this is also related to the inability of the strategic projection fleet to come out in time, Pei Chengyi will definitely have some concerns when making deployments. Judging from the tasks he assigned to Li Dongshi, even if the frontal offensive operation of the 1st Combat Unit ran into trouble, the 10th Combat Unit would not turn to the Iranian battlefield alone, but would attack Turkey from the northern region of Iraq, that is, from the right flank of the Turkish army, so as to achieve the 1st Combat Unit. The purpose of the campaign to unite the encirclement and suppression of the Turkish army and the American army.

Because the tenth combat unit has not yet come out, Yuan Chenhao and Ling Yunxiao don't know about it. Arrangement.

When talking on the phone. One of the issues that the two discussed the most was the U.S. military that had just been sent out of Iskenderun.

"The front-line command has received the second satellite reconnaissance report from the Military Intelligence Agency, two pounds. The main force of the U.S. Army Brigade left Iskenderun and headed for the southeastern region of Turkey was confirmed, Yuan Chenhao's expression was calm, but his tone was very serious. "According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, these two brigades are an armored brigade of the 1st Fighter Armored Division and a mechanized infantry brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division, and these two units are the units that the US Army has approved for reorganization. Although the reorganization of the US military is not as thorough as ours, and the problems in the establishment are still quite conspicuous, the combat effectiveness of these two brigades should definitely not be underestimated. In terms of equipment, both brigades have the most advanced main battle equipment of the US Army, except that the main battle equipment of the artillery is a little worse than ours and a little smaller. Otherwise the former is no worse than the first battle single. The size of the armored forces was even above the first combat individual

"It's not the troops that fight in the war, if we can win with more equipment, we can't even beat the Turkish army

Yuan Chenhao smiled and said, "There is no doubt that the US army is not a Turkish army. Although we defeated the U.S. Marine Corps, also commanded by Duchway, in the Korean War of the Peninsula, the U.S. military has been lying on its back for nearly 20 years in order to achieve shame, and we absolutely cannot underestimate the enemy

"I know this, those who can go to the battlefield are not weak brigades, Ling Yunxiao paused slightly. said, "Is there any specific situation of US military equipment?."

"The Military Intelligence Agency has been contacted and will give us details shortly

"It's better to let the intelligence brake deal with it, and then put it on the tactical information sharing platform."

Yuan Chenhao nodded and said, "I have made arrangements to ensure that the grassroots combat units can obtain the most accurate information before you go to the battlefield?"

The "tactical information sharing platform" mentioned by Ling Yunxiao is actually a network terminal that specializes in storing war information. In the process of informationization, the Republic, the United States, and other major countries have completed the construction of "information networking," that is, the information needed by various units is placed on the military network, and whatever information they need during combat can be smoothly obtained.

Although this seems to be a very simple project, that is, to provide a pound for command units at all levels. Network terminal access equipment, but the actual implementation is extremely cumbersome and expensive. Not to mention anything else, hundreds of billions of yuan have been spent on providing network terminal access equipment for the most basic combat units of the combat units of the Republic Army at all levels, and with the investment in the construction of a high-level wireless security network, the army alone has spent more than a trillion yuan on informationization.

Huge investment corresponds to huge results.

Long before the war in India, the republican team realized the information network. Although it is not the first army to realize information networking, the US military has achieved information networking in the first year, but it has benefited from the advantages of the latter. That is, more advanced basic equipment has been adopted, and the information network of the Republican ** team has been more thorough. In the Indian war, the role of information networking was tested in actual combat. According to the relevant information released by the Republic, the outstanding performance of the airborne thugs is very much related to the fact that it was the first to realize the information network?

After the war in India. The Republican ** team began to tap the expansion potential of information networking.

The "Tactical Information Sharing Platform" is one of the important systems established during this period. Although the basic technology of the system is not complicated, and it is very similar to the civilian Internet search engine, but the military equipment is very different from the civilian equipment, in addition to the strict requirements of security, communication bandwidth, reliability, etc., the massive information to be stored in a centralized manner is also a key factor that limits the use of the system in our era. You must know that the innumerable military information is concentrated, and the information that needs to be saved is calculated in gall, even Zhao, until the advent of the quantum storage system, which makes it possible to store and read so much information.

As a senior commander. Ling Yunxiao and Yuan Chenhao did not entangle technical problems.

"The question now is that you have to consider the impact of the U.S. military...... Yuan Chenhao said as he lit a cigarette, "According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, the two US Army brigades will definitely arrive in Hakkari Province before we attack. Although judging from the current deployment of the Turkish army, there will be no exchange of defensive positions with the US army, and the US army's action is very hasty, Du Qiwei will not risk the only two catties. The army brigade went to the front, so it is very likely that the US army will set up a defensive line behind the Turkish army, but for us, this is not a good thing, because when we break through the Turkish defense line, we will give the US army enough time to prepare for defense, and the battle will become more difficult in the face of the US army. ”

Ling Yunxiao nodded and said, "What other information did the Military Intelligence Bureau provide?"

"The information is very limited, after all, this is a matter of Internet filth, Yuan Chenhao paused slightly. He said, "I will contact the Joint Command as soon as possible and ask for air power to bomb the bridges and passes along the US army's advance route to delay the US army's march?" But General Pei Chengyi has just canceled the third round of bombardment scheduled for two hours ago, indicating that our air power is very tight, so don't get your hopes up. According to the MIA, the United States is mobilizing, the U.S. Air Force will soon deploy more heavy air supremacy fighters to southern Europe, and the U.S. authorities are stepping up lobbying the Greek government, so in the next few pounds. During the fight, the main task of the Air Force is to fight with the opponent and maintain air supremacy, and the air support that can be provided to us will be very limited. Because the US Navy has already taken action, it is very likely that our carrier-based air force will first participate in the battle for air supremacy after entering the war, and will not actively cooperate with ground operations. ”

"When will the Army Aviation be deployed?

"It is being transferred, and it will be more than ten hours at the earliest, that is, before the first combat unit starts to attack." Yuan Chenhao sighed and said, "Because supporting air operations consumes a large amount of strategic airlift forces, and even the 10th combat unit cannot be airlifted to the front line, so the transfer of the army aviation is very troublesome, and it is very good to be able to prepare for the battle before the first combat unit attacks."

In other words, I can only watch two catties. The U.S. military brigade is in front of us? ”

I have two suggestions, although they are not good suggestions, but they are stronger than none Yuan Chenhao reluctantly smiled and said, "First, the first combat unit will attack in advance and tear apart the Turkish defense line before the US army deploys the defense line. The problem is very straightforward, in the case that the army and aviation support forces have not been deployed, and the Iranian army that is cooperating with the operation is not ready, the first combat individual can only rely on its own strength to complete the offensive combat operation, that is, do not have too much hope for reinforcements. In the same way, if we attack in such a hasty situation, I am afraid that the mental state of the officers and men of the first combat unit will not be very ideal. ”

"What's the second suggestion?" Ling Yunxiao asked very directly.

Although Ling Yunxiao is recognized as a fierce general, it does not mean that he has no brains. Before arriving at the battlefield, the first combat unit had already made a hasty march of many kilometers at the time of its death, and not to mention the mental state of the officers and men, it had to first consider the state of the main battle equipment, and it had to spend many hours on maintenance. All in all, if there was another choice, Ling Yunxiao definitely didn't want the first combat unit to attack as soon as it arrived on the battlefield.

The second option is to promote one's own strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings Yuan Chenhao paused a little and said, "Leave the heavy responsibility of the frontal attack to the Iranian army, and the first combat unit will only leave a small number of troops as the vanguard." After tearing through the Turkish defense, the Iranian army attacked the American defense, and the main force of the 1st combat unit made a detour to the north. Two U.S. Army brigades can only hold a 50,000-kilometer-long defensive line at most, as long as they can bypass and appear behind the U.S. flank, there is nothing to fight in this battle, we just need to prepare prisoner of war camps for tens of thousands of U.S. troops? ”

Ling Yunxiao thought for a while and said, "There is no third choice? ”

"If I want a third option, I will talk to General Pei Chengyi and try to get him to send the second combat unit over."

"There's no need for that, we can handle the fight here

"Although I am a front-line commander, I have great respect for General Ling's judgment. You don't have to rush to give me an answer, and when you get to the front, think about how to fight. ”

Ling Yunxiao nodded and said, "I'll think about it, and I'll contact you after I think about it."

"No problem, I'll get back in touch when the time comes

At the end of the call, Yuan Chenhao breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Ling Yunxiao didn't need to think about it at all, and he had already made a choice before the call ended.

Yuan Chenhao did not delay the time, and asked the staff officer to immediately contact the chief of the general staff of the Iranian Defense Forces.

At this time, thousands of kilometers away, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic published its first briefing on the situation of the war.
