158. Determine the decapitation plan
Jiang Tao stood in front of the map and said, "First of all, we should figure out what kind of goal we want to achieve in this battle? Is it simply to teach this white-eyed wolf a lesson, or to beat him up or knock him down? ”
Jiang Tao continued, "Obviously, we can't just teach them a lesson, because in '84, we thought that we had achieved our strategic goal, and we had almost learned the lesson, and after the troops withdrew, the enemy still continued to provoke and shell our border residents. My point is that not only do you have to beat them up, but you have to beat them down! ”
"Of course, this is not only to destroy the enemy's living forces, but also to completely destroy the infrastructure we built back then, including factories, mines, roads, airports, bridges, ports and all other targets that can be attacked!"
Jiang Tao paused here and looked at everyone's expressions. Commander Xu encouraged: "You continue!" ”
"In view of the above military objectives, my idea is this," Jiang Tao picked up the stick in his hand, pointed to the targets within the strike range of our side on the map, and said, "In this area, empty the remaining sporadic enemy resistance, build an airstrip, and delineate every 100 kilometers of strike area, our current UAV attack radius is 250 kilometers, forming an air-ground coordinated combat system in which ground forces mainly reconnoiter enemy targets and UAV troops attack, and mainly destroy the enemy's war resources and infrastructure. Psychologically destroy their will to war, fundamentally destroy the foundations of the country, so that they will not be able to recover for decades! ”
After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he paused and said, "The above is my personal immature opinion, and the main purpose is to reduce the casualties caused by the dispatch of ground troops. Heads of State were also invited to propose amendments. I'm done talking. ”
In fact, Jiang Tao knew in his heart that in his previous life, it was this Commander Xu who disobeyed the order and bombed indiscriminately along the way, destroying a large number of factories, bridges and other facilities of the enemy, so that the country slowly recovered decades after the war. After the war, he was punished by his superiors. Therefore, the strategic intention expounded by Jiang Tao now is exactly what he wants! However, this life is different, and now there are advanced unmanned attack aircraft to participate in the attack, which greatly reduces the casualties of ground troops.
Jiang Tao returned to his position, and Commander Wang also agreed with this point of view, because most of the soldiers on the front line were his soldiers, and when the old man saw the casualty figures sent over from the front line, his heart and liver hurt, and almost overnight, his hair turned white! Otherwise, he would have retired long ago, and he would have seen his soldiers return from the front!
General Zeng cleared his throat and said, "I think the whole plan is basically correct, how many of you can talk about it?" ”
A General Chen, who was about 50 years old, said, "In the past, Commander Xu also reported similar battle plans, but they were all rejected, and there were two main reasons for this, the first was that under the circumstances at that time, if this strategy was adopted, it would cause greater casualties, and the second was the influence of international public opinion. However, it now seems that the conditions are ripe and there is no longer any need to think about international implications, and I basically agree with this proposal. ”
General Zeng asked, "What does Lao Huang say?" ”
The general Huang said with a smile, "Actually, several of us are here today, basically all of them are in support of this plan, and there is a main purpose, that is, to understand the actual role of UAVs on the modern battlefield, when we understand through the scene, it is undoubtedly surprising and admired, this war has indeed dragged on for a long time, and it is the will of most people to achieve the strategic goal as soon as possible, and to end this war." I have a question, and I would like to ask Comrade Jiang Tao to answer it. ”
Jiang Tao said respectfully, "Chief, please speak." ”
"Do you think we should end it as soon as possible or continue this stalemate?"
Jiang Tao said seriously, "From the current point of view, the initiative is in our hands, but we have not yet achieved the ultimate strategic goal, my idea is that we are not in a hurry to end it as soon as possible, we can use this as a training ground, a testing ground for new equipment!" The ground forces rotate regularly, and the troops of the whole army can come and go around! ”
The last General Zhang said, "Yes, this is indeed a very good training ground, our troops really lack actual combat training, when the war just began, we did have a lot of recruits who just got guns, and the casualties were not small!" ”
At this time, Commander Xu said, "Actually, I still have a breath to go." ”
Jiang Tao said with a smile, "Commander Xu, is it the enemy's military adviser?" ”
"Good boy! How do you know? ”
"Actually, I have wanted to get rid of them for a long time, but this is a matter for the leaders and leaders to consider, and it may further provoke them and make them come to the front from behind the scenes, then it is not cost-effective."
General Zhang put away his smile and asked seriously, "How sure are you if your superiors agree?" ”
Commander Xu asked happily, "You mean that the above will agree to this plan?" ”
Several old generals nodded in unison, and Commander Xu slapped one hand on the table: "Okay!" Complete the mission 100%! ”
General Zeng said, "This is the second purpose of our visit this time!" Hurt him, our equipment has improved, I'm sure they don't dare to shout! ”
Commander Xu said excitedly, "I'll notify you now, and arrange it immediately!" ”
Jiang Tao spoke: "Commander Xu, in order to ensure that they don't slip through the net, I suggest that they start after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night!" ”
Several veteran generals also supported Jiang Tao's suggestion, and Commander Xu got up and said, "It's lunch time, let's discuss the plan of action after dinner!" ”
After a brief lunch, everyone went to the conference room again, and at the same time two combat staff officers entered.
The staff officer spoke, "After our radio listening for a while, the enemy's field command should be here. After speaking, he pointed to a target on the map with the stick in his hand and continued, "This is an enemy military town, two hundred kilometers away from us in a straight line, we can completely eliminate him at one time!" ”
Everyone was talking one after another, Jiang Tao didn't want to participate in the discussion anymore, he drank tea silently and listened quietly.
After some discussion, the time of the attack was set at 8 o'clock in the evening, and twenty minutes before the start of the attack, ground artillery fire carried out no less than twenty minutes of shelling of a target directly in front of it to cover the frontal attack of the drone.
Everyone agreed, and the two staff officers went out to make arrangements.
