Volume 2 Fog of Suspicion Chapter 23 Large-scale detours
This tactical training is relatively simple, nothing more than maintaining the attack distance of each squad, some cooperation with each other, who is the main attacker of each squad, who is covering, etc. Towards the end of the afternoon training, I was told to go to the command center.
The wide command center was massive, not as small as the temporary command center on the battlefield during my last expedition to the Red Flame Star. Its hall is more than ten meters high, and a huge physical sand table is arranged on the left side of the center of the hall, which is very unusual in the modern warfare where 4D maps are dominant. A curved track stands high in the middle of the hall, and an elevator is parked on the track, and two people are standing on the elevator. They were looking down at the sand table from a high vantage point, and they were talking in whispers, one of them was Huntley, and the other was in military uniform, and they didn't know each other. If you draw a circle of the hall, these tracks occupy exactly 90 degrees. On the right side of the hall is a small meeting room, and there is a 4D projector in front of the rostrum, and more than a dozen people are already seated. It's a little strange to me that these dozen people are supposed to be squadron leaders in various squadrons, and I'm just a detachment leader! It stands to reason that I will not be able to attend this kind of pre-war arrangement.
Seeing the personnel arriving one after another, the dean and the uniformed man walked down in the elevator. The two of them walked to the rostrum, and I saw the appearance of the man in military uniform, the straight colonel's military uniform was worn on his body, meticulous and straight, as if he had just been sent from the garment factory. The majestic face of the national character made him even more unapproachable, a person who looked stern and old-fashioned.
I have seen a lot of real soldiers on the battlefield, but few of them seem as rigid as him, you must know that the battlefield is very solemn, usually everyone will be casual regardless of meetings or normal activities, but when the battle comes, it will immediately become a different state. After the dean beckoned everyone to take their seats, a smile spread across his face, and the smile showed the erosion of time on his face without reservation. He pointed to the next one with his right hand and began to introduce.
"Students, this is Colonel Pan Chengli. Colonel Pan Chengli, who has participated in many actual battles and has a high level of technical and tactical attainment, is the chief of staff of our side this time to assist in commanding our academy. There was also a chief of staff sent by the military named Greenham from the Gilmet Academy. Colonel Pan Chengli will explain to you the overall battle arrangement of our confrontation next, and everyone should have a good understanding of it and work hard to learn and improve their tactical level. ”
The corners of Pan Chengli's mouth only moved slightly, and he nodded again, even if he had greeted everyone. He pointed at the 4D map with his baton, and a neutral sound rang out, which didn't particularly match his rugged appearance.
"First of all, this 4D map is different from the one on the outer sand table, which has a larger range. The 4D map provided to us is the same as that of Guimet Academy, and this is your home turf, so you should be more familiar with this area. When I'm done, the first thing you have to do is keep in mind the area on the sandbox outside that is more than on the 4D map. "Pan Chengli's language is concise, he doesn't bother to say anything, he directly says a key point, and he has a very military demeanor, which makes my impression of him change greatly.
"This confrontation area is divided into six areas, A~F, A, B, and C areas are Guimet's defense areas, and our side is D, E, and F. Each of the three brigades is responsible for an area. The first strategic goal of this confrontation is to destroy the enemy's command center, not to destroy how many enemy troops there are, so everyone must not fall in love with the battle and resolutely carry out the command center's orders. Pan Chengli paused, looked up and saw that everyone was listening carefully, and continued.
"This time, in addition to the frontal position, we will send three small troops. The number of each unit is about 15 in three squads. Two of these units will be sent to enemy areas to gather intelligence and find enemy headquarters. They will set off at midnight on the day of the confrontation exercise and move rapidly along the junction of the AB and BC defense zones. These two troops must move quickly, pay attention to concealing themselves during the march, go out day and night, and wear anti-infrared clothing. When encountering the enemy, as long as you judge that it is not the command headquarters, you can avoid it, and if you can, you can go around, and try not to expose yourself in battle. ”
"Wu Yongjun and Chen Sunjian serve as the squadron leaders of these two units, and Wu Yongjun and Chen Sunjian are out of the ranks!" As soon as Pan Chengli gave an order, Wu Yongjun and Chen Sunjian immediately got up from their seats and walked to the rostrum, and gave a straight military salute.
"Do you know what the detachment's march is going to do?" Pan Chengli stared at the two and asked extremely seriously.
"Report!" Wu Yongjun shouted, "Fast, hidden!" ”
Pan Chengli nodded with satisfaction and added: "Especially in the first few hours, you must quickly pass through the enemy's junction, the speed must be maintained at about 30 kilometers per hour, and the forward position of the junction must be passed within 3 hours." Because as far as I know about the other side's chief of staff, Greenhan, he is accustomed to arranging two lines of guard lines at a distance of 30 kilometers in the front line, and as long as you quickly pass through those two guard lines, you will be safe in a short time. To be on the safe side, I asked the march to pass through the cordon in 3 hours, otherwise if it takes a long time, the enemy is likely to reinforce this weak area and encrypt the cordon line, and then you will be in trouble. Understood, no. ”
"Got it! Captain! The two replied aloud.
As soon as Pan Chengli said this, the detachment leader sitting below began to talk quietly and in a low voice, the speed of 30 kilometers is close to the limit of the field weight-bearing march, but only this speed will quickly pass through the defense line, and the other side is unlikely to expect that at the beginning of the exercise, there will be troops marching at maximum speed to break through the defense line. This arrangement minimizes the probability of detection of the two units that entered the enemy line for reconnaissance during the initial period, and everyone agrees.
Pan Chengli waved his hand to signal the two to step back, and continued: "Actually, these two troops can be said to be only secondary forces to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and the possibility of them being discovered is still very great over time. And it will be another unit that will actually conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines. ”
"Ahh Everyone was very surprised, just now they thought that the plan of this chief of staff was already very powerful, but they didn't expect that there were stronger tricks.
"The small force for this mission will be a little larger, and the initial consideration is 50 people. The march route of this unit is quite long. Pan Chengli said as he changed his baton and walked towards the sand table.
Dozens of puzzled eyes were brought to the elevator by his pace, and then followed the elevator to the platform. The baton shot out a blue glow, swimming around the sand table. Everyone looked at the traces of its swimming, but saw that it was only wandering in the area outside the 4D map, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the person holding the baton, expecting to solve the answer.
"Huh! Scold! The team headquarters would follow this line, and after a large detour, enter the enemy defense zone from the rear, which was a little farther but safe. The enemy army will not think of it. This unit can be very effective whether it is engaged in reconnaissance or direct attacks on enemy forces. Pan Chengli laughed twice, it was rare to pass on a trace of his smug emotion, and he was still very satisfied with this plan.
Someone looked at the route and couldn't help but ask, "That's outside the 4D map area!" It's not the area of this operation! ”
"The confrontation drill command didn't say that you can't march outside the area, and the range on the 4D map is only the deployment area!"
People are talking louder, some applauding it, and some suspecting violations. There were still different voices again: "Do we ask the command what the code of conduct is outside the specified area, and it is not good to be judged to have violated the rules at that time." ”
"No, if you're afraid that the command will sentence you for violating the rules, then I'll take the responsibility." Pan Chengli said coldly.
"Even if we don't violate the rules, will the people of the Gemet Academy say that we take advantage of our geographical advantages, and even if we win, we won't be able to win!" A certain person with a sense of justice asked.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! If the people on the Gimet side only know that the boundaries on the map are the real borders, and do not observe the surrounding environment to take appropriate precautions, then they can only blame themselves. ”
"The list of personnel who will carry out the roundabout mission is announced below." Pan Chengli glanced at the audience, saw that everyone had no objections, and continued: "The Puggs squadron removed the 27th squad plus Su Jingtian's 66th squadron, a total of 50 people. “
Everyone immediately looked at me, and I realized why they called me, the team leader, to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility!
Everyone looked at me with a lot of eyes, and all kinds of emotions came to me. I was unmoved, and my sharp eyes catapulted them back with all kinds of eyes, just waiting for Pan Chengli's explanation.
Pan Chengli really explained: "Su Jingtian participated in the expedition and actual combat last year, and as far as I know, he has a strong battlefield adaptability, and is a powerful candidate to carry out this mission. He deliberately turned to Puggs and said, "This detour is headed by you, Su Jingtian is your deputy, and the two of you must cooperate with each other to carry out this mission well." ”
"Yes! Captain. Puggs stood up from his seat and stepped forward to reply. He smiled at me again and motioned for me to sit next to me, and I walked over and spoke softly to my future partner.
Puggs was very easy-going and welcoming, and after a while we got acquainted, and I learned that he had a friend who had also been on the expedition last year, and that he knew something about how I had behaved on the expedition, which made me very fond of him.
After the meeting ended, the dean and Pan Chengli deliberately left us behind to explain and asked some ideas for dealing with the battlefield situation, and finally the dean said: "After returning to the position, if it is discovered or encounters some special circumstances, you can also consider dividing the troops." If the troops are divided, Su Jingtian will be the supreme commander, and if the troops are combined, Paggs will be the first commander. ”
"Ahh The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a figure full of surprise in each other's eyes.
