Chapter 116: SAS (3)
After the meeting with the British soldiers, there was another meeting within our Chinese advisory group.
Of course, it is impossible for us to exclude Xu Jianping and Major Weir.
"Here's the thing!" I said: "Forget all the arrangements just now, our defensive positions are not aimed at the sea, but on the flanks and rear. The defense time is not the second half of the night, but the first half of the night! ”
"What?" Hearing this, Major Will and Xu Jianping couldn't help but be stunned: "Comrade battalion commander, what you said just now is ...... purpose?"
"Major Will!" I said, "I'm sure what we just said will fall into SAS's intelligence!" ”
"It can't be!" Major Will replied with some annoyance: "I trust my subordinates first, they will never betray us!" Secondly, SAS does not bother to do such things, you are not only an insult to us, but also an insult to SAS! ”
"How do you think that?" I replied, "First of all, it's not that I don't trust your subordinates, but I think that your subordinates will leak information to SAS intentionally or unintentionally, after all, South Georgia is full of people, and your subordinates don't have much sense of secrecy!" ”
As soon as I say this, Major Will will have nothing to say, but it is true that the British are all good at talking, even if a stranger can talk for most of the day with a cigarette, not to mention that we are still conducting exercises rather than real war, and those British soldiers will even regard it as an honor to be able to exercise with SAS, so it is basically impossible to keep it secret in this case.
"Secondly!" I went on to say, "It's not a shame for SAS. Because the task of the special forces themselves is to collect as much intelligence as possible before the war, and then formulate a sophisticated battle plan based on this information, and then carry out a scalpel-like battle against the target, am I right? ”
Major Will nodded, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
I know why Major Will was surprised, he didn't expect that a lieutenant like me also knew about special operations. What he didn't know was that standing in front of him we could be said to be a Chinese special forces.
"So!" I said, "Do you still think it's dishonorable for SAS to get information from your subordinates?" Do you still think this is an insult to SAS? ”
"This is war, Major!" I continued, "We can't think of it as an exercise or a drill. The purpose of SAS's drill this time is to land 6 on the Falklands, so it is normal for them to collect intelligence on the Falklands beforehand! ”
"You're right!" Major Will couldn't help but feel a little ashamed on his face: "It's okay for them to do this!" ”
"So......," I continued, "assuming that SAS already knows the details of our firepower, I think it is very likely that SAS will avoid the sea and carry out a surprise attack on the flank of our line by helicopter parachutes, or that SAS may use a flank attack from several sides." That is, the side and back side cooperate with the helicopters in the air to carry out surprise attacks, and even some troops will harass on the front, so that several sides of our army will be encircled, and we will strive to defeat our army in one fell swoop in a short time! ”
"The battalion commander is right!" Zhao Jingping said: "This SAS, his full name is the British Royal Airborne Special Service, which means that this unit must also be good at airborne ......"
Speaking of which, Zhao Jingping set his eyes on Major Will.
Major Will nodded and affirmed Zhao Jingping's statement: "That's right, their characteristic is to use helicopters to quickly maneuver to the war zone, sometimes not only airborne, but also rope down, diving and other ......"
"Hmm. You're talking about frogmen? I said.
"Yes!" Major Will looked at me with some incredulous eyes: "It seems that we have underestimated the Chinese intelligence officers!" ”
At first, I was a little confused, but after thinking about it, I thought it was a little funny, Major Weir thought that the reason why I knew so much about SAS was because of Chinese intelligence agents!
But of course I wouldn't break it down, so I just smiled and pointed to the map and said, "That's right, the SAS is facing us harassing us, and it's very likely that it's not a regular force." It's a troop of frogmen! ”
"But......" Major Will then said with some embarrassment, "you must know that these are SAS, the most elite troops in Britain, and even if we know that they will fight like this, then how are we going to defend them?" Let's not mention that there is a big gap between our equipment and SAS, and we don't even know how many of them there are! ”
As soon as Major Will said this, everyone was silent, and it was true that the difference between the two sides was not one or two points as Major Will said.
But this does not seem to be unfair, because this exercise is SAS to seize a foothold on the Falklands. And we are playing the Argentine army...... You must know that the equipment used by the Argentine army is not better than that of the British army, and even they use the same rifle. At the same time, it is predictable that the Argentine army will not necessarily be better than the British army.
In this regard, we even took advantage of a little advantage, because our participating troops were based on a Chinese advisory group with very rich combat experience, and the Argentine troops obviously would not have such a primary.
In other words, this is also a more realistic reflection of the situation when SAS seized the island.
But here's the problem. We want to win the SAS in a situation where there is a great asymmetry in all aspects of equipment, intelligence, and so on...... Even if we succeed in confusing SAS, we may not be able to do it!
After thinking about it, I drew a half-circle around the inner perimeter of our army's defense line on the map and said two words: "Mines!" ”
"Landmines?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Comrade battalion commander!" Major Will objected: "Isn't it a way to lay mines on this line?" What about our reinforcements? What about supplies? ”
It should be said that Major Will was indeed right. If you lay mines behind your flanks and the sea is in front of you, you are like surrounding yourself as a lone army.
Of course, we can also choose to leave a lane in the minefield for reinforcements or supplies, but this can also be used by the enemy, who can easily seal these passages with machine guns or mortars.
"First!" "We don't seem to need to think too much about supplies and reinforcements, because when SAS attacks our flanks, our army is actually alone, which means that we won't get more supplies and reinforcements," I said. So no, anyway, why not just make some trouble for SAS? ”
Major Will couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he nodded slowly: "SAS is good at fighting quickly and withdrawing quickly, a battle is often over in ten minutes, and in this regard, the reinforcements and supplies we can get in ten minutes are almost zero." In other words, we are actually already alone! ”
"That's right!" Zhao Jingping also agreed: "So we lay mines in the flanks and backs, no matter what, we can delay some time, and what the special forces are most afraid of is delaying time, because this means that the enemy has more time to prepare and enter a state of war!" ”
"And secondly......" I continued, "we are surrounded by snow, and we can lay a large number of mines in a short time, and it will not be easy for the enemy to see!" ”
This is obvious, it seems that all we have to do is dig a pit in the snow and bury the mines, as for what kind of camouflage...... The heavy snow that is falling on South Georgia can help us solve it, and this camouflage is still "all-natural", if it is not for the skills of Chen Yiyi and the two sisters, it is really not easy to clear mines, not to mention these mines are right under our noses.
"The most important!" I said, "Do any of you have a few SAS members who are armed with MP5 submachine guns in front of us today?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Major Will said, "SAS has a lot of equipment, and they can change to other more suitable equipment at any time!" ”
"No!" I said: "I believe they will use the MP5, because the MP5 is very suitable for melee combat, and its disadvantage is that the range is too short to only 200 meters, and at night, especially in the snowy night, I am afraid that I can't even see the figure beyond 200 meters, so this disadvantage is not a disadvantage, but its advantages such as small gunfire can play a great role in the dark night." ”
This is for sure, we all know that the most common and best way to identify the enemy's position in the dark is to listen to the gunshots, but if the gunshots, cannons and shouts are all in the night battle, the MP5's almost undetectable sound is easy to ignore, which obviously creates an absolute advantage of darkness against light.
"Of course!" I said, "It doesn't rule out that SAS will bring other equipment, such as sniper rifles, mortars and other long-range weapons, but if SAS does come with MP5 tonight, then I believe that a significant number of them will not be able to wield it!" ”
"Why?" Major Will was still a little puzzled: "As you said, you can't see the target clearly from two hundred meters away, right?" Although our rifles have a longer range, they don't do much either! ”
"The problem is that there is still a minefield between friend and foe!" I replied with a smile: "Just imagine, if we placed this minefield behind the flank more than two hundred meters from our defensive line...... What do you think will happen? ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize.
So the plan was decided, and the rest was to see if SAS would fall into the trap we had laid.
