Chapter 159: Exercise (2)
This stage is the first of the four subjects of the exercise: anti-enemy cluster tank attack.
In fact, this subject is not the focus of the anti-enemy cluster tank attack, I personally think that the focus should be on the seizure of air supremacy or the weakening of the enemy's air power.
Because the anti-cluster tank offensive is actually quite simple, and that is artillery. A large number of artillery fired at the forward positions, that is, the open areas through which the enemy's cluster tanks would pass...... As a result, as long as there are enough shells and artillery, the enemy's cluster tank attack will inevitably suffer losses or be delayed.
But this has a premise, that is, air supremacy is already in the hands of the other side or the enemy's air power is greatly weakened. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it will not be able to withstand the bombardment of enemy aircraft.
The Red Army was very successful in this regard, the air power of the Blue Army was greatly weakened by the paralysis of the forward airfields, its bombers could not carry out repeated bombing of the Red Army in a short time, and the anti-aircraft fire deployed by the Red Army on the ground was also a great threat to the air power of the Blue Army.
I think this is also the strategy of the Red Army, if it can't be done...... Then the next battle can almost be said to be crushed.
I have to admit that the Red Army artillery fire was accurate...... With a sharp whistling sound, rows of shells accurately landed on the open ground of our army's cluster tank attack, creating walls of fire.
Moreover, on closer inspection, the Red Army's anti-tank is not just a simple artillery bombardment, its alert positions also have a variety of anti-tank firearms to shoot with it, such as bazookas, recoilless guns, and even anti-tank missiles.
After more than ten minutes of earth-shattering bombing and shooting. The verdict came in: the Blues lost more than 70 tanks and armored vehicles.
I was surprised by the verdict. Because this is almost a third of the total number of armored vehicles that our army sent to the battlefield this time. Although the artillery of the Red Army was very fierce, our tank group was also prepared to hide in the dead corner of the artillery fire, and it was really hard to believe that there would be such heavy casualties, and even at this time I was a little suspicious that the director team was deliberately biased in favor of the Red Army.
But then I learned that this time I was a villain's heart, and this is indeed the real combat effectiveness of the Red Army, and the accuracy of the tank targets they hit with anti-tank equipment on the exercise ground was quite amazing. Among them, the Hongjian 73 anti-tank missile, which actually scored six shots and six hits, and the targets were all 2,000 meters away.
Of course. These six Red Sword 73s are all immobile targets or a few immobile tanks as targets, but we who have used Red Sword 73 anti-tank missiles know ...... Although each of these things is worth 30,000 yuan, because it has just been produced, some of the technology is not yet mature, so many missiles will malfunction during launch.
For example, if it falls to the ground as soon as it is launched, and then it does not fly according to the control after launching, etc., plus it is still controlled with a handle, so it is quite good that this missile can have an 80 percent hit rate, and the missile shooters of the 38 th Army can actually hit 100 percent in that kind of situation where the shells are flying and the smoke is filled...... Even I had to be surprised.
Later, I learned that in fact, one of the missiles fired by the 38th Army actually failed, that is, the sixth missile was actually out of control when it was launched...... The missile shooter was unable to hold the missile down, but the missile shooter reacted surprisingly. Within fifteen seconds of the missile's launch and arrival at the target, a flash of inspiration sensitively detected that the missile was only partially out of control. That is, he did not accept the "down" command, so he alternated the "left down" and "right down" commands, and finally the missile staggered and hit the target.
This is not to say that there is no element of luck in it, but I know very well that luck also requires a cool head and sensitivity to missile operation. Otherwise, it's just luck that's about the same as winning a million-dollar jackpot.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but wonder: how did the 38th Army train such a high-level missile shooter!
After asking, I realized that I had actually used all of their methods, but I only used them to train snipers.
To put it simply:
After practicing the heartbeat, cross-country long-distance running, single parallel bars, and climbing, he suddenly issued a shooting lesson.
In order to accurately calculate the flight time of the missile, the reading of 30 seconds must be exactly the same as that of the second hand.
Three practice anti-interference, when the shooter is practicing with the simulator, there is a gong beating and drumming next to him, and there is the sound of gunfire and explosions.
In this way, he practiced desperately, and he finally developed the ability to use anti-tank missiles as sniper rifles.
This has to make me marvel at the training of the 38th Army, and at the same time, I also know that the original missile shooters can also use the same training method as snipers, and in the future, I will have to put more effort into those missile shooters in the synthetic battalion.
However, these tactical victories of the 38th Army could not make up for their strategic mistakes, and they were completely unaware that our aerial reconnaissance planes had taken pictures of the position of their artillery positions and even shifted their direction with their cameras.
Of course, the artillery fire of our army also suppressed these artillery positions that were detected...... It is normal to have suppression, otherwise it will make the Red Army suspect that we have something to do with it.
This judgment of the director team also means that the attack of our cluster tanks has been blocked, and it is obvious that if we are still forcibly attacking with tanks at this time, then our tanks are afraid that they will soon be killed and wounded with the cooperation of the Red Army's long-range artillery and infantry anti-tank equipment.
So we quickly moved on to the next stage, sending paratroopers to the rear of the Red Army.
This time the parachute into the rear of the Red Army was two battalions, and of course this was also a feint, and as we said before, its real purpose was to allow our reconnaissance units to blend in.
Needless to say, who led this reconnaissance unit, of course, it was Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, two tracking masters, whose task was to find out the location of the Red Army's artillery positions and tank regiments as much as possible, and report this position to us through a walkie-talkie.
In other words, these two battalions were actually thrown in just for a little information about the Red Army.
Sometimes I wonder if it wasn't a drill but a real battlefield, would we have just thrown these two battalions into it as bait.
From this point of view, the exercise will be better commanded than the real battlefield, because we don't have the guilt and pressure of putting a living soldier to death. (To be continued......)
