Chapter 163: Exercise (6)
"What are you doing?!" Unexpectedly, as soon as we returned to the base, Commander Zhang was already waiting in the command headquarters, and as soon as he saw me, he said a little angrily: "I said you Yang Xuefeng, you are fighting hard, right, tell you not to fight too hard, you can almost finish the Red Army tank regiment and artillery at once, so how can you let the Red Army fight down?!" Originally, we still had defensive positions and reserve counter-assaults behind us, but what are you holding on to when you surround them? You have eaten all the tank regiments that others used for counter-assault, and you are a fart! ”
"Commander!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but reply with some embarrassment: "I'm ...... It's true that the fight is a little unbearable, but you also understand the things on the battlefield, sometimes it's either you die or I die, and there is no question of whether you fight hard or not......"
"The question is how to clean up this mess!" Commander Zhang interrupted me with a dark face: "You must know that the Soviet devils are also good at using airborne troops, and they are the happiest to let them see them like this...... With a helicopter like your synthetic battalion that can fight like this, then aren't they even more capable of beating the Chinese army to a mess? And now we still want the Red Army to win? Still won?! ”
As soon as I said this, everyone was silent, and I also felt that this problem was a bit tricky, but I didn't expect that this battle would be fought so smoothly, and the Red Army's artillery units suffered heavy losses easily, and the tank regiment was even completely annihilated.
It is conceivable that without tanks, artillery, and air superiority, can the Red Army still fight in the future? Our airborne troops will drop a few battalions behind them, and they won't be able to stop them. In this way, the supply lines of the Red Army will soon be cut off, and the main forces of the Red Army stationed in the Yinshan area will soon be surrounded...... It is true that they have strong fortifications and occupy favorable terrain, but if there is no ammunition supply, then in the end it is not only the fate of being surrounded and annihilated?
Now this kind of shape can only be understood by anyone, and this is especially true of the Soviet Union, so it is not that we can say that the Red Army won.
"Commander!" Zhao Jingping, who was next to him, said, "Why don't you ...... Let's let the Blues storm tomorrow and then the Blues suffer a lot of casualties......"
"How can the Red Army defend it?" Commander Zhang asked rhetorically: "The artillery has let you fight almost, and there is no air superiority, so it will only press and fight you, even if it is a little advantageous, it will not be able to hold for long." Besides. The Blues could clearly cut off the supply lines of the Red Army and encircle the Red Army. Why did the Blues suffer a large number of casualties? Even if there were fools who were willing, the Red Army would not have so many bullets! ”
As soon as Commander Zhang said this, Zhao Jingping had nothing to say.
"Commander, or else!" The instructor interjected on the sidelines: "The Red Army also has a sneak attack on the Blue Army......
"Sneak attack?" Commander Zhang glared at him and replied, "You guys are using helicopters to sneak attack." In this way, there is suddenness and timeliness. However, the Red Army was only equipped with a few ambulance helicopters. What do you let them do with the sneak attack? Walk down the Yin Mountain, through the minefield, and feel your defense line under your noses? ”
Commander Zhang's words are also reasonable, you must know that the terrain in this area is different from Vietnam, which is full of jungles and hills. Therefore, it is also common to touch the enemy's defense line under the nose of the enemy. And now this area is full of flat open land except for the Yinshan Mountain Range, and in this situation, a few sentries can be clearly detected.
So there was silence in the headquarters, and everyone didn't know what to do with this situation.
It's also a bit ironic to say that while others are worried about not being able to win the battle, we are on the contrary, worrying about winning the battle.
"Commander!" Commander Xu said: "Since the battle has been fought like this, do you see if you can ...... Simply end the exercise with a victory for the Blues. I'm not saying good things for the Blue Army or hoping that the Blue Army won, but whether there is such a possibility, that is, the Blue Army that Battalion Commander Yang said is also our Chinese army, which will also make the Soviet devils realize that we are not what we used to be! And the battle of our Red Army has also been refined, which is also very meaningful! ”
"We've thought about this too!" Commander Zhang nodded: "This can indeed make the Soviet Union look at our army differently on a certain chengdù, but it is only a certain chengdù." In actual combat, because the Soviet army will have absolute air supremacy on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of our combined tactics will actually be greatly reduced! ”
"Oh!" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this.
Commander Zhang is right, in the past, I was just concentrating on collaboration and synthesis, but I didn't expect this.
First of all, without air supremacy, there can be no air-step coordination, and secondly, without air supremacy, artillery and infantry will be greatly restricted, and they may be attacked by the enemy's air power at any time, right? Even tanks had to be prepared before they could be dispatched, because Soviet helicopter gunships were undoubtedly the natural enemies of tanks.
In other words, if our opponent is the Soviet Union, it may be more practical to use the same tactics as during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
"So!" Commander Zhang continued: "Even if the Soviet Union will be impressed with our army because of this, because our army's air power is insufficient, the deterrence against them is very limited. On the other hand, the victory of the Blues in this special period is likely to cause panic among the people and cause internal contradictions within us! ”
Needless to say, if the people knew that the Blue Army would assume that the enemy Soviet Union would be able to win easily, then those who knew that "good birds choose trees to perch on" should have action, lawbreakers would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos again, and the people would lose confidence in the army again, etc., in short, they would have a trigger and move the whole body.
After thinking about it, I said: "Commander, I have a way to deter the Soviet devils externally and win the hearts of the people internally!" ”
"Say!" Commander Zhang was visibly impatient.
After a pause, I finally made up my mind and said, "My solution is tactical nuclear weapons!" ”
"Hmm!" Commander Xu responded: "This should have been for the Blue Army!" ”
One of the items in our exercise schedule was that during the Red Army's counter-assault, the Blues used tactical nuclear weapons in order to fend off the pursuit of the Red Army.
In fact, this is not very likely in actual combat, because the Soviet Union has a powerful air force, artillery and armored forces, and it is not too easy to escape from the pursuit of our army, and it is enough to use air power or artillery cover.
This clause was added to the exercise only because the Soviet Union could use nuclear weapons, and our army did some necessary training for this.
Now, though, I want to switch that up. (To be continued......)
