Volume 1: The Growth of the King of Soldiers Chapter 163: The Beginning
The background setting of this exercise is a bit shocking. It is assumed that a field army of 10,000 people suddenly crossed the border and quickly occupied Na Cuo, Zilong and two counties looked at Nanshan City.
However, the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China ordered the northern and southern theaters to rush to the aid from two directions.
Because of the deep penetration into the hinterland of China, a large number of enemy troops were stationed in the densely populated county towns, so even if they had air supremacy, they could not bomb them.
The Southern Theater troops left Chinde County in an attempt to cut off their retreat by going around behind them to the McMahon Line, while the Northern Theater assembled in Sara City and went all the way down to the Southern Theater of Operations, creating a situation of flanking and attacking in front and rear, with the intention of annihilating them completely. Of course, this enemy force is played by the Western Theater of Operations, which is good at high-altitude operations.
When Yang Buxing drew the approximate location of the enemy and us on the map, the people present only admired the director team's brains.
Where is this exercise, it is basically to put the two theaters to death. Let's talk about this geographical environment first, the area marked by this is in the alpine and anoxic zone, 79% of the place has been covered by thick snow all year round, and most of the rest are frozen soil.
For example, at this stage, the vast majority of the main battle tanks equipped in the northern theater are Type 99A main battle tanks, and the total combat weight exceeds 51 tons.
Just this one synthetic brigade in the Northern Theater will have to remove forty percent of its combat strength, not to mention the inadaptability of personnel and geography, and the plateau hypoxia reaction will take out twenty percent of your combat effectiveness is quite light.
The southern theater is not much better, so I don't know what the director wants them to fight with the western theater when the personnel and equipment are not superior.
Not to mention that they occupy an excellent geographical advantage, they have long been equipped with light cavalry such as the Type 15 light tank, which is suitable for highland environment fighting. With a total weight of only 33 tons, a 1000-horsepower engine and a 105-mm rifled gun, the Type 15 could turn the Type 99A tank into a dog on the plateau.
"Blame had to assign us a task, just such a comparison of strength, what is the difference between this and sending people to the head for thousands of miles? Don't think that two to one is very awesome, in the end, it should be thankful Amitabha Buddha to be able to maintain fifty percent of the combat strength to meet the enemy. ”
The knife threw away the pen in his hand, and in his opinion, it was a one-sided contest at all. As for the cats and ghosts, the iron-headed popsicles are watching the nose and the nose, and as instructors, they cannot interfere with this kind of decision-making. According to the wolf's head, it is to let the young people's minds play on their own.
Now everyone looked at each other and looked forward to Yang Bu Hunger, and they all wanted to see what kind of plan this guy who could be praised by the wolf head as wise.
"In this exercise, the theater of operations actually gave us a task, and there is more than one!"
Knowing that everyone was confused, Yang was not hungry and explained to everyone without waiting for Yao Bing to raise his hand to ask:
"If you want to know what the task is, you must first look at the overall situation of this exercise. The Western Theater is better than the other two theaters not only in terms of personnel, but also in terms of climate adaptation and equipment.
Man is iron, rice is steel, no matter how strong the person's adaptability to the plateau is, he still has to eat.
In the alpine mountains, the supply of the army has always been a big problem. This is something that even the Western Theater of Operations cannot completely solve. The same is true for equipment, no matter how good the performance of a tank and combat vehicle is, it will always consume fuel, and without fuel it is nothing.
Therefore, our first task this time is to maximize the sabotage attack and harass the enemy's logistical supply. ”
In fact, it is not unrealistic for everyone to think about what Yang Buyu said, but it is just a team of 5 people to harass an army of tens of thousands of people, no matter how you think about it.
As if seeing everyone's thoughts, Yang Bu was not hungry and said with a smile:
"Of course, this task is not mandatory, in the final analysis, we still ask for it. Even if our wolf warrior team just goes to sneak around the wolf head this time, we can't say anything, after all, it is also what he said if he doesn't set a task. ”
Looking at Yang Buxing's appearance, the cat ghost who didn't want to participate finally couldn't help but speak.
"The theater has high hopes for the wolf team, and although there is no clear assignment of tasks this time, we can't be passive and slack off on our work! Don't forget, the southern theater still sent the South China Tigers special operations team this time.
You must know that the establishment of this wolf tooth team was originally fought for by five war zones at the same time, and finally fell on the head of the wolf tooth, but the other four war zones were so hard that they were always ready to wait to see jokes.
This is the first battle, and many people are watching, so we have to get results. I know that although the wolf head didn't say anything on the surface, he was actually more nervous than anyone else, but he didn't want to show it for fear that his will would affect your performance. Especially the Snow Leopard Special Operations Brigade in the Western Theater, it can be said that the establishment of this wolf warrior squad was snatched from them, so this time they will definitely target you. ”
I thought that the cat ghost would take Yang Buying's attitude of talking about things so seriously that he would pay a little more attention, but it can be seen that he still looked noncommittal, so angry that the cat ghost almost slammed the door.
"Brother Kui, don't get angry. ”
Yang was not hungry and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the cat ghost back and press it back to the seat.
"Actually, what's the use of discussing this here now? The large army has just been assembled, and the Southern Theater doesn't know if it has been opened. This whole game of chess has not yet begun, how do you tell me to make a plan, even if I can barely discuss a ugly person, who can guarantee that I will be able to act according to the plan when the time comes. ”
After Yang Buyu finished speaking, he pointed to the backpacks on the side of the wall. Judging from the style, it is just a hiking bag for ordinary travelers.
"This time, we didn't drop or infiltrate, but swaggered and took the train directly to Sara City, stopping by tourist attractions on the way and waiting for their large army to fight. Then the 5 of us slowly went to Nanshan City as travel friends.
Who said that special forces must wear camouflage uniforms and be fully armed to the teeth when they go to the battlefield, we are going for sightseeing this time, and by the way, we will burn grain and grass and fry oil tankers. ”
Hearing Yang Bu's preliminary marching plan, the cat's face was as if he had seen a ghost. I've seen shameless, but he can talk about publicly-funded tourism so high-sounding, and it's the first time he's seen it today.
"Not hungry...... Is this going to work?"
The comrades-in-arms had to go into battle without being able to sleep well overnight, and they could still have time to visit the attractions on the way, which was indeed a bit shameless to think about. Although Knife is looking forward to this sightseeing trip, he is still a little reluctant not to go.
"Surely, what do you think this is?"
Yang Bu was hungry and magically took out 5 different models of mobile phones from under the table.
"One for each person, take more landscape photos on the road, and selfies. It's best to download a few more games, and if the train is boring, we can also do a few online.
There are also temporary thousands of dollars. The head of the wolf approved the funds for the operation. Except for the synchronous communicator, don't bring weapons or anything, and when the time comes, just go to Sara City to find supplies for the large army. ”
Seeing that even the money was put into the WeChat wallet, everyone really believed that Yang Buxing said that he wanted to take everyone to eat, drink and have fun, which was serious......
Under a mountain girder, 50 kilometres north of the city of Sara, white-brown camouflage netting covers almost the entire nest.
This is the temporary headquarters of the 199th Brigade of the Northern Theater, and the brigade commander Zhang Zhijun is having a headache at this time. Now that the enemy has not been engaged, the non-combat attrition of one's own side has reached one and a half. Most of this is caused by the hypoxia reaction of the plateau. As for heavy combat vehicles and logistical equipment, only 70 percent arrived at the designated position on time. The others are either on the road or damaged on the road for various reasons, and it is expected that it will take at least 18 hours to get them all.
Zhang Zhijun, who had not yet succeeded in the division, looked at the report in his hand and was at a loss, worrying that even if all the troops arrived at the designated position after 18 hours, how much combat effectiveness could the soldiers who had never set foot in the plateau climate exert under such conditions?
The speed and intensity of the march across the region were already controlled at a low intensity, but despite this, there were still so many non-combat attritions. If there were no days for the soldiers to get used to it, the speed of the real fight would have been beyond imagination.
But is there such time now? Air supremacy is set for only three days, and after three days the enemy will be allowed to possess and use a large number of anti-aircraft missiles. As for whether we can achieve initial results and take the lead, it depends on the next 36 hours.
Should we use air supremacy in exchange for superiority at the cost of reducing the number of soldiers, or should we rest and recuperate on the spot, preserve our existing combat strength, and make steady progress in an attempt to advance again?
Such a dilemma not only happened to Zhang Zhijun at this time, but Wang Qiuquan in the other direction also faced the same problem. As the brigade commander of the 235th Composite Brigade in the Southern Theater, in the face of the lag of a large number of weapons and equipment and the attrition of soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is overwhelmed now.
From crawling in the tropical rainforest climate all year round, to today's long-distance travel in the alpine and anoxic zone. Due to the lack of relevant combat experience, marching on the roof of the world at an average altitude of 4,000 to 5,000 meters, the low temperature of minus ten or twenty degrees made the hydraulic oil of most combat vehicles coagulate, and some of them even collapsed on the mountain road halfway without catching fire. The troops, who were originally expected to be able to reach the designated position within 24 hours, were given another 48 hours, and I am afraid it is not known whether they can complete it. All kinds of situations emerge one after another, which is completely beyond Wang Qiuquan's expectations.
"Lao Wang, you can't rush like this anymore. If you rush again, something big will happen. At present, the attrition has exceeded one-fifty, and according to the calculation that a wounded person needs to be taken care of by a soldier, the remaining combat strength is now less than half. This is not counting the loss of equipment, how can this battle be fought!
If you want me to say that we must stop and rest for a few days now, and then remobilize resources from the rear! Four days! At least four days will allow the soldiers to get used to it, and after four days, it is estimated that the troops will be able to recover to 90 percent of their combat effectiveness, and I believe that the situation on either side of Zhang Zhijun will not be much better!"
Political Commissar Liu Jizhi said that he didn't think about it. However, it is really unwilling to waste this air supremacy in vain. If the ground forces can cooperate with the bombers to seize the opportunity, then at least half of the battle will be won.
"Where is the location of the South China Tigers special squad, let them identify the enemy's outlying positions as much as possible, and then let the planes bomb me fiercely......"
This is really a helpless move, and the effect is minimal, but it is better than nothing. At this point, the first phase of the exercise came to an unexpected end, and both theaters chose to give up air supremacy.
However, of course, such a situation is also expected by the director's department......
