Chapter XXIII Countermeasures
The phone rang on the table, Li Wei picked up the phone, and the anxious words of the observation post soldier came from the phone: "Two helicopters are flying on the opposite side, it seems to be about to land!"
Li Wei put down the phone, told him about the situation, and immediately rushed to the observation post with Zhu Zhi and the others, and on the way he secretly admired Zhu Zhi: "When Lao Zhu was building an additional barracks, he insisted on leaving the company's communications soldiers for an extra day, and installed telephones in all important positions of the entire outpost. Make sure that if a war breaks out and the phone line is damaged, the stations can stay connected!
Came to the observation post, through the observation mirror, found that two helicopters were parked in the cleared open space, from the plane out of the cobalt out of a fully armed soldier, "one, two ......" Li Wei counted carefully, when the last soldier was counted, his heart cooled, 30, isn't this a standard platoon, there are two platoons on the opposite side, and we only have one platoon, the strength is suppressed by the other side, and there are helicopters that can be reinforced at any time, how to deal with it?
Back in the command room, Li Wei and Zhu Zhi stood in front of the simple sand table, pondered for a while, Zhu Zhi said: "Lao Li, I think it should be reported immediately!" Li Wei nodded, turned his head and said to the correspondent: "Immediately send a report to the company headquarters, the content is: The Soviet army has built a new helicopter airport, and two helicopters have come today, transporting 30 armed soldiers, please give instructions!"
Soon, the telegram was transmitted from the company headquarters to the military headquarters, and the army commander Tan Mingde, the chief of staff of the military department, Shao Dong, and several other staff officers also stood in front of the combat map on the wall, and Tan Mingde stared at the Tasti post on the map, thoughtful. After a few minutes of silence, he turned to a staff officer and asked, "Zhiduoxing, what do you think?" The staff officer looked at the chief of staff next to him, Shao Dong waved his hand and said, "Xiao Xiang, if the army commander asks you, you will be bold to say it!"
The staff officer called Xiao Xiang, named Xiang Wenhua, graduated from the Shijiazhuang Army Command College, studied at the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union, and had a very high level of military theory.
Xiang Wenhua picked up the baton, pointed to the Tasti outpost, and said to everyone: "The location of the Tasti outpost is dangerous, equivalent to the wooden cork of a water bottle, if it is pulled out, the powerful mechanized troops of the Soviet army will be flattened, and they can go south to the Duku Highway, control the Duku Highway, which is equivalent to choking the throat leading to southern Xinjiang, to the east can control the Altun Mountain gold mine and the Karamay oil field, and then go south to control Shihezi and Changji, two important cities in northern Xinjiang, and then capture the capital Urumqi, in short, If the Soviet army is targeting the Tasti outpost at this moment, it must have a plan! "
Everyone deduced on the sand table again, and felt that Xiang Wenhua's analysis was very reasonable, Tan Mingde put the teacup on the table and said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what are the good countermeasures for everyone?"
Xiang Wenhua stood up again and said: "First of all, because half of the soldiers at the Tasti outpost were only enlisted last year, and their combat experience and combat effectiveness are insufficient, first, it is necessary to increase the number of troops, and it is necessary to have elite soldiers, and second, the number is not large, the terrain of the Tasti outpost is lower than the Soviet outpost opposite, the usable area on the top of the hill where it is located is small, the barracks are few, and there are more people, and even accommodation is a problem; Second, to solve the problem of logistical supply, the Soviet army can not only be transported by conventional cars and horses, but also by air and airdrop, and can supply personnel and materials around the clock. Modern warfare is actually a war of attrition, whether it is material consumption or casualties, whoever can't hold out in the end will stand at the negotiating table first! "
Everyone listened attentively, and some people were still making records, Shao Dong said: "Comrade Xiao Xiang, the analysis is very correct, the Korean War illustrates the problem, how to better consume the Soviet army, and solve the problem of supply to the outpost, the key is to staff officer Xiang, what countermeasures do you have?"
Xiang Wenhua said: "A medical station will be set up every five kilometers along the way from the rear supply station to the outpost, and the roof will be painted with a red cross, and the ground in front of the house and behind the house will also be painted with a red cross. The medical station is nominally a medical station, used for the treatment and transport of the wounded, but in fact it is a supply station, using the relay method, a section of supplies and personnel supply, each medical station set up a radio station, stationed about 10 troops, once the outpost is tight, need reinforcements, you can immediately go up, I have calculated, we need to set up 6 medical stations along the way, a total of 60 people, mules, horses, vehicles, so that the supply problem can be basically solved. "
Tan Mingde's brows twisted into the shape of Sichuan finally relaxed, he nodded, and said: "Staff Officer Xiang, you immediately draft a plan, submit it to Chief of Staff Shao for approval, and then immediately report to the military region headquarters, hurry up, be quick, the enemy has not much time left for us!"
Xiang Wenhua stood up and saluted, and replied, "Guarantee to complete the task!"
