Chapter 32 Sand Table Operations

Although they had entered the study once, this time Xiao Chen and the others came to another. When the door was opened, the sand table the size of a billiard table in the center of the study was marked with a map of sea and land. Mountains, forests, basins, deserts, and so on are all on the same map, on which are more than a dozen small red flags with patterns of soldiers, tanks, etc., and there are more than a dozen blue flags on the table.

"Okay, I called you here today to teach you some military strategy, mainly to use different terrain and the troops in your hands to carry out a sand table operation. This map is not any corner of the world, but a multi-terrain sea and land map that I have constructed myself for the convenience of overall explanation. Of course, for the content of the explanation, if you are not interested in Liu Han, you can leave, if you are interested, I can teach you from the beginning. Liu Rizhuo said to the two in front of him.

For him, Yuan Hao is a rare smart student, he can always quickly understand what he has told in the past, although he lost to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen obviously goes back and forth more times on the line of life and death than himself, which is not surprising. Today, taking advantage of the sand table explanation, he also wants to see if Xiao Chen's understanding of this kind of content is the same as learning the content of primary school.

"I'm interested! I want to learn. Xiao Chen stared at the sand table and said, from entering this room, seeing Liu Rizhuo looking like a commander, he didn't know why, and there was a faint excitement in his heart, could it be that he used to love war very much? Thinking back to the dream of his almost morbid attitude on the battlefield, this may not be true.

Glancing at Xiao Chen, the corners of Yuan Hao's mouth raised a sneer, and he secretly thought in his heart, since Xiao Chen has a strong personal combat ability, it means that it is very likely that he used to be a mercenary or a special soldier, since this is the case, he can't get in touch with things at the strategic level, and in this regard, he can't compare to himself no matter what.

Seeing Xiao Chen's slightly excited reaction, Liu Rizhuo also nodded, and said to Yuan Hao: "The current sand table situation is that the deployment of the Red Army has been clear, in such a situation, how to deploy the Blue Army to carry out an effective attack, kill and injure the Red Army troops, and seize the plots occupied by the Red Army." You conduct your own research first, and I will tell Liu Han some basic content of tactics and strategies, and we will conduct a drill later. ”

After nodding slightly, Yuan Hao immediately immersed himself in studying the sand table. Putting aside his personal grudges with Xiao Chen, the calmness and rigor on his face when he was studying the sand table made people look sideways. No matter how arrogant he usually is, since Liu Rizhuo feels that he has the talent to be a commander, he must have a reason.

"Okay, since you basically have zero mastery, I'll explain to you the basics of military affairs as quickly as possible." Liu Rizhuo took out a book from the bookshelf and said to Xiao Chen.

"Well, I'll try." Xiao Chen replied.

In the following hour, Liu Rizhuo explained to him through books the vocabulary used in military affairs, the various forms and formations of troops, and the various contents that he needed to know as a commander.

However, as he continued, he was a little horrified to find that the speed of their explanation was as fast as possible! By reading the words of the past and explaining the examples of tactics and strategies, Xiao Chen memorized them all in his mind. Although he can memorize it without saying it, when Liu Rizhuo takes out his knowledge points every time he looks back, he can basically tell it with his own understanding.

Strategic command is a formulaic thing based on countless examples, a technical ability through the study of people's hearts, and at the same time, in many cases, a kind of sensory ability. And Xiao Chen, it seems that his lack of knowledge of words is all made up for by his feelings after analyzing the scene. Even if it was some difficult military exam questions, Xiao Chen also made a solution after a little thought, which was not perfect, but he had only just begun to study in this area.

For two hours, in the two hours, except for Liu Yuehan who came up to visit for a few minutes in the middle, he has been studying. After that, Xiao Chen and Yuan Hao stood on both sides of the sand table.

"Liu Han's learning speed makes people want to cry......" Liu Rizhuo said helplessly, "In this case, Liu Han, look at how to drill for this example?" ”

Xiao Chen immediately began to study this sand table, from various terrains to the deployment of troops on both sides of the enemy, he conducted research for more than ten minutes. During this time, both Yuan Hao and Liu Rizhuo looked at him quietly.

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Chen stopped studying, and then with some confidence, he planted the flags representing the various arms of the Blue Army on the sand table.

"First of all, this is the way the troops are deployed, no matter what the troops, try to stay away from this basin and not get involved in the desert as much as possible. The forests and mountain roads are not suitable for armoured corps and heavy weapons, and even ordinary corps can cause non-combat attrition. Therefore, I decided to use this line and this line as the main offensive line......" Xiao Chen held a baton in his hand, and while moving the movement of the blue team, he calculated the possible actions of the red side, and explained his understanding of this battle example.

As his explanation deepened, Liu Rizhuo kept nodding his head, although he couldn't see much approval, but his eyebrows also revealed his satisfaction with Xiao Chen, a new student. You must know that Yuan Hao couldn't be so good when he first learned these contents. What's more, Xiao Chen, who was explaining, had the confidence on his face and the momentum he showed when he talked, as if he was a commander who was strategizing. Often, a commander with such self-confidence can also inspire the soldiers below, which is a rare quality.

"And so the battle is over." Xiao Chen finally finished his sandbox operation, and under his deduction, the Blues won at a high price, but in the end.

Liu Rizhuo nodded, "This kind of deduction is indeed exciting, but there are also many problems. Next, Yuan Hao, you come. ”

Yuan Hao listened and nodded. Although he also felt extremely terrified of Xiao Chen's learning speed, how could he be worse than Xiao Chen after studying for more than an hour and repeatedly deducing the sand table homework? It can be said that this is one of the few places where he can defeat Xiao Chen.

"First of all, I will partially refute Liu Han's deduction just now, you have exaggerated the combat effectiveness of our Blue Army, and in the process of deduction, you underestimated the possible counterattack of the Red Army. Even so, you still incur a high price, so if it comes to actual combat, if the opposing commander is slightly capable, your consumption will be even greater, and you may even lose the battle. So if it were me, I wouldn't use these two corps to fend off the opposing armoured corps, but I would use this one to make a feint and bring it here......"

Yuan Hao started his side's deduction, and I have to say that his deduction fully estimated the combat strength of both sides, and he had much more considerations than Xiao Chen in all aspects. No matter how embarrassing things were before, now, Xiao Chen is also serious about taking every bit of Yuan Hao's deduction that is better than him, and repeating and learning in his mind.
