Chapter 409: Exercise (2)
(Before you know it, this book has already passed a million words, which is really not easy)
Three companies of the Red Army tank battalion lined up in a row and ran over at high speed, which was in accordance with the new tactical requirements to ensure that the first round of strikes could devote more firepower and fire before the enemy fired.
The three companies of the Blue Army Tank Battalion lined up in the usual zigzag formation, which could ensure that sufficient firepower was concentrated to form a powerful fist to break the opponent's defensive line, and if it was a head-on confrontation in peacetime, almost both sides would use this tactic.
Soon the red and blue sides approached within 10 kilometers, and on the observation systems of both sides, the shadows of opponents began to appear, and the gaze focal plane thermal imager originally equipped with 99A2 began to discover each other's existence.
The Blue Army Hunting-Fighter fire control system is a relatively new type of domestic large closed-loop fire control system integrating sight and guidance, the commander can surpass the fire control system (gun commander) control, including shooting, tracking targets and indicating targets, etc., soon, the Blue Army Arrow Assault Tank Company found all the targets on the screen.
At a distance of more than 5 kilometers, the 99A2's firepower was largely powerless against the target, so the Blues lead tank companies began to communicate frequently and coordinate with each other, with each tank selecting an opponent tank as a tracking target.
Inside the tanks of the tank battalion of the Red Army, the same screen is displayed in a completely different way, no longer showing a specific tank, but under the action of the observation system, all the opponent tanks that can be observed appear on the screen in the form of dots. Each dot is numbered, and the size of the dot indicates how much the system determines the threat of the opponent's target to its side.
According to the threat level and the location information of your own tanks, this system also displays in real time which tanks on your side should attack at a certain moment, and how many targets each tank should attack the opponent.
Although the preset battlefield is roughly a plain area, the ground is uneven, the tanks are undulating in high-speed travel, and the targets displayed on the Red Army's screen are also changing at any time.
All they need is to drive the tank for a quick maneuver and then pull the launch button.
In the high-speed relative driving, the distance of 5 kilometers almost passed in a flash, when the tankmen of the Blue Army's leading company were still nervously carrying out aiming operations, most of the Red Army tankmen who entered the range of 5 kilometers of artillery-launched missiles had already appeared on the screens of the target and could fire, accompanied by some sharp prompts, the Red Army tankmen opened fire one after another in accordance with the requirements before the exercise.
In the first round, more than 20 tanks of the Red Army tank battalion were fired almost simultaneously, firing precious artillery missiles at the opponents—each tank was equipped with only one missile. Firing at such a distance as this first round has never been seen in past exercises.
"Duke, how many tanks do you estimate the Red Army can destroy in the first round?" Before the Red Army opened fire, Old Man Liu asked Duke with interest.
"According to the results of the simulation test, about 8-10 vehicles can be destroyed in the same level of competition." Duke replied with some unconfidence that the battlefield situation here should be more complicated than the computer-simulated terrain, although under the new fire control system, the probability of a single shot of artillery missiles being destroyed is as high as 85 percent, after more than two dozen tanks are fired, it is very likely that the Blues will act as the lead of the arrows, and there will be no one left.
Duke's words came out, and even the most optimistic spectators in the military had reservations about Duke's statement, and everyone began to discuss it one after another. Because in their eyes, this result seems too unbelievable.
The destruction of the opponent's 8-10 tanks in the first round is equivalent to the elimination of this pilot in their eyes, how is it possible? In order to ensure the authenticity of the exercise to the greatest extent, the Beijing Military Region Command, after receiving the order, strictly selected two tank battalions of similar peacetime level to prepare for the exercise.
It can be said that the only difference between the two tank battalions now is that the combat electronic systems of the two sides are different.
"Dr. Duke, according to your statement, this battle, the Blue Army tank battalion is destined to be wiped out?" Lieutenant General Wu Xiangguan, deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region, interjected.
"Yes, the difference is how many Red Army tanks they were able to destroy in the final counterattack," Duque affirmed to this question.
"If they react quickly, in the case of heavy losses in the vanguard, they can shoot all the artillery missiles in time before the distance between the two sides is close to 2,000 meters, or now avoid the Red Army's edge and open up a distance fight, then more Red Army tanks will be destroyed, and if they hesitate to let the Red Army enter the effective killing range of the main artillery, then the Blue Army will lose the battle faster."
Duke paused for a moment, then pointed to the current offensive formation of the red and blue sides on the large curtain wall, and continued, "A battle formation like today's is very advantageous for the red side, it is conducive to the red side to concentrate firepower to annihilate the blue team's rising troops, and can quickly cross the unfavorable area of the battlefield to carry out a second round of concentrated strikes on the remaining blue forces." ”
As if to confirm Duke's words, after the Red Army opened fire on the enemy, the first round of Red Army losses was quickly displayed on the big screen, and the vanguard company except for one that escaped from the blow by luck, the remaining eleven without exception emitted smoke.
The exercise shells are all warheadless, and after hitting, they will emit thick smoke, and the hit tank will be locked onto the fire control system and cannot fire again, although this is still a little different from the real battle, after all, not every part is critical, and there are many cases in real battles where even if you are lucky enough to be hit, you still have the ability to fight.
Even so, seeing the results on the large curtain wall, Old Man Liu's eyes lit up, while the rest of the generals who watched the exercise were stunned.
What's going on?
Are the Blues tankers stupid? All obediently waiting for the Red Army to attack, but unlike ah, the Blue Army has been maintaining a high-speed state of advancement, even if it is colluded in advance, it is difficult to achieve such a good "cooperation" effect, how difficult it is to hit a tank during the march, who of the generals here does not know in their hearts?
"A total of 24 shots were fired," Duke said quickly, looking at the data given on the curtain wall, "11 vehicles were destroyed according to probability calculations, which is basically in line with expectations." "He's not as strange as the others, this is the effect of the simulation test, every Blue Army pilot company tank has been attacked by two artillery missiles, with the new fire control system of up to 85 percent of the destruction efficiency, it can really be said that it can only be said that it is luck.
