Chapter 53: Exercise (3)

This fully shows that the enemy on the battlefield is not a fool, and the enemy we will think of is also likely to think of it......

But I don't think Liu Guoyan is learning from us...... First, because this method has been used by the Volunteer Army for a long time, since Liu Guoyan even knows the tunnel tactics of the Volunteer Army in such detail, it is impossible not to know this trick.

Second, the Reds don't have air power and the Blues do...... In the case of complete air supremacy, as long as this commander is not a fool, he knows how to use the tunnel to hide his living power!

"Don't think about it so much...... Chen Yiyi interjected at this time: "Let's just hit it directly...... The Red Army's defenses were very thin, with only three lines of defense in front and behind...... Each line of defense is two or three heights in depth, and our army has rich field experience, plus there is artillery and helicopter cover...... It's okay to break through directly! ”

"I agree with that!" Chen Qiaoqiao thought about it, and then said, "I think...... Our army has a wealth of combat experience, some of which were cultivated on the battlefield in Vietnam to deal with tunnel fortifications, and it is such tunnels that we are facing now...... On the other hand, the defensive front of the Red Army was long...... Therefore, although its total strength is much larger than ours, it does not have an advantage in the local direction...... When we attack a certain high ground, just pay attention to the reinforcements that block the other high ground with artillery fire...... It's only a matter of time before you take a few high grounds! ”

I also agree with Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao's views...... You must know that they all have rich experience in tunnel operations, and they also have a considerable understanding of the strength of our army...... So they say that a frontal attack can take these high grounds...... That's eight or nine is not far from ten!

Merely......

"It's not a problem to take these high grounds!" I said, "But that's all there is to it...... But it doesn't mean that they can break through their defenses! ”

"This ......" Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao were puzzled by what I said.

"The defense of the 391st regiment is not as simple as it seems!" I said, "Have you noticed...... They put the sapper battalion on another row of heights in the rear? They're not hiding...... It's about getting ready for construction. We attack in front...... When we are about to capture the first line of defense, the engineer battalion will have established a fourth line of defense in the rear, and the Red Army of the first line of defense will leave a small number of troops to entangle us in the tunnels, and the main force will withdraw into the fourth line of defense by night...... Then there will be the fifth and sixth courses...... What lies ahead of us is far more than just three lines of defense, but endless...... Until we run out of troops! ”

The cadres in the conference room were dumbfounded...... They never expected that there would be so many articles in this seemingly simple and ordinary fortification...... And these articles are still simple and practical, as if they are tailor-made for our strengths, that is, air power, so that our air power can not play a role in application at all!

However, this does not seem strange, you must know that it was on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea...... When the Volunteers fought against the United Nations forces led by the United States Army, they fought with basically no air supremacy, so their tactics were naturally to avoid the enemy's air strikes as much as possible. In the end, it will become a war of attrition between infantry and infantry...... And this is again the shortcoming of the US military!

In a nutshell...... This is actually the art of war, "promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses". At that time, the volunteers used this method to block the US troops with planes and artillery from the 38th parallel with only millet and rifles......

And now we'...... It seems to be standing in the position of the Yankees back then, although they have air supremacy, they are not fighting or not fighting...... If you don't fight, you admit defeat, so let's fight...... Our forces were significantly inferior to those of the Red Army. To fight a war of attrition, that is to be consumed. The result is still losing!

At this time, I can't help but understand a little why Liu Guoyan insisted on keeping the enemy out of the country. It turns out that he still has a way......

But I soon realized...... On the contrary, this will put our army in greater danger, because this method may be suitable for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in the 50s, and it may be suitable for the mountainous areas of Korea...... But it won't necessarily be for China......

On the one hand, it is because during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the combat bombers of the US military were still at the level of Sabre and Black Widow. And now the Soviet army uses the Su-27...... The high development of science and technology has brought about changes in the battlefield, and the tactics that were once able to deal with the Yankees may not be able to deal with the Soviet Union now!

On the other hand...... The Korean battlefield was full of mountains, and it was also inconvenient for the U.S. military to resupply...... And what about China? China's northern, northeastern, and northwestern parts of China are full of plains suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops, but it is difficult to find several high grounds!

If there is not even a high ground...... So how can you use tunnel tactics? And the plains are precisely the terrain where the enemy's air power can be displayed......

From this point of view...... There was a problem in the selection of the exercise venue for this exercise, and even if Liu Guoyan succeeded in winning this battle, it would not mean that we could keep the enemy out of the country......

It is unlikely that Liu Guoyan did not know this...... But he apparently selectively ignored it, and it was even possible to ...... The choice of this exercise ground is his hands and feet, otherwise it would not be possible to conduct exercises in such a terrain that is completely inconsistent with actual combat or most of the actual combat situations!

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping asked beside him: "Can we ...... Starting with the sappers of the Red Army? ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Jingping: I thought of this with me.

"That's the way to do it!" I said: "The Red Army is constantly building new lines of defense in the rear with sappers, so that its vital forces can be continuously protected by fortifications...... Then if we can annihilate its engineering troops...... Although this is a non-combat force, it can cause them a lot of trouble! ”

"That's a good idea!" The instructor, who had not spoken, nodded and said: "The Red Army has placed the main forces on the defensive front...... Its sappers are in the rear, and they did not expect that we would attack such non-combat troops as soon as we started fighting, so the vigilance must be relaxed...... This gives us an opportunity! ”

"It just so happens that we have helicopters!" Zhao Jingping said: "Although the helicopter has limited ability to fight at night, it can carry the fighters of the special agent company to cross the enemy's defense line and launch a sneak attack......

"That's right! That's it! The cadres in the conference room agreed. (To be continued......)
