Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 105 Decisive Adjustment

Before the loss of the staff was counted, Pei Chengyi contacted Lieutenant General Wang Xueyang

Although it was not yet certain whether the US military had bombed areas outside Aleppo Province in northern Syria, the strategic warning radar deployed in northern Sudan accurately detected the group of aircraft launching missiles over the Western Mediterranean. It can be roughly inferred that the US military had no intention of bombing Iraq.

When Pei Chengyi received the news that Aleppo was bombed by missiles, he knew that Du Qiwei was intentional.

Although Pei Chengyi is not as magical as Duqiwei imagined, he can definitely see through Duqiwei's battle attempt and knows that Duqiwei has no other choice.

In fact, Pei Chengyi's situation is not very ideal.

The main force of the Eighth Combat Unit had left Aleppo, and the support units left behind were also evacuated after receiving the bombing alarm. The casualties and equipment losses were not large. The problem was that the combat brigade of the Eighth Combat Unit that arrived at the front-line attacking position only carried about a day of combat supplies, while the other materials were transported by the Support brigade. According to Wang Xueping's report, the US military not only focused on bombing the military supplies warehouse in Aleppo, but also bombed the Qiaoliang tunnel north of Aleppo, which clearly did not want the Eighth Combat Unit to launch a smooth attack. With only a few combat supplies, the Eighth Combat Unit was not unable to launch an attack, but needed more support and support forces.

Pei Chengyi was not in a hurry to give an answer, but asked Wang Xueping to collect combat supplies as much as possible.

It can be said that the focus of the US bombing is very directly indicating Duchwie's intention.

For Pei Chengyi, before adjusting and deploying, it is necessary to figure out how much material has been lost and what material has been lost.

When he was on the phone with Wang Xueping, Dongfang Wen organized a staff officer to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

Two hours after the bombing, Pei Chengyi received the first material loss report. Although it was not a detailed report, most of the data came from the damage assessment results of the units ahead, and some were conclusions drawn from the analysis of the photos taken by the drone, so it was not very accurate. Pei Chengyi did not need a very accurate report. He only needed to figure out one thing. That is, whether the remaining materials could make the eighth battle smoothly launch an attack.

The conclusion disappointed him. The losses were too heavy!

In the bombing less than the old minutes before and after, dozens of military facilities in Aleppo Province were devastatingly hit, while dozens of military targets in the neighboring Idlib, Hama and Raqqa provinces were also hit hard, and the destroyed military facilities were above the thugs. It is obvious that the bombing revolved around Aleppo Province, and any targets that were conducive to the attack of the Republic's Army were bombed.

Of course, the bombing was not thorough.

Except for some important bridges and tunnels in the north of Aleppo Province that were bombed, the US military did not bomb the transportation infrastructure in other areas. Of course, this does not mean that the Duchi event missed these important strategic goals. In order to prevent the Republican Army from invading southern Turkey from Syria, Duchiwei even used strategic bombers. Will he still be ruthless in the bridges and tunnels in Syria? From the perspective of preventing the Republican Army from launching an offensive, in addition to destroying military supplies, the most effective way is to paralyze the transportation infrastructure. Although doing so will not have too much impact on combat troops, field troops have the ability to build bridges and open roads in mountains, but for logistics support, this is an absolute disaster.

Even wheeled vehicles with the best off-road mobility can not leave the road for off-road maneuverability like crawler vehicles. Because the main ground transport tools of the Logistics Support Force are trucks with gravity tons and field tons, the former can carry a standard aviation container, while the latter can carry a standard container. Both vehicles do not have off-road maneuverability and cannot even pass through ordinary boat bridges, so when the bridge passes are damaged, the ground transport capabilities of the Logistics Support Force will definitely be affected.

If you cannot transport supplies from the ground, you can only transport supplies from the air. The address of this site has been changed to: I will be relieved, please log in to read it if you delete it!

Ying Jian is here. Pei Chengyi does not have enough tactical airlift power in his hands.

It is obvious that Duqiwei was attracted by this key point and first exploded the combat materials prepared for the Eighth Combat Unit and the Fifth Combat Unit. According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, Duqiwei was not in a hurry to bomb the bridge tunnel. It was not that he did not want to bomb, but that the US strategic aviation force had only this level of strike ability, so he could only deal with the bridge hidden tunnel in the second round of bombing. Because most of the US strategic bombers were deployed in the local area, in the entire European region, only the air base in the suburbs of Stafford in the UK can support the US strategic bombers, so the second round of bombing had to wait until the night of the 6th, and might be dragged until the early morning of the 7th.

It seems that Pei Chengyi has plenty of time to prepare.

In fact, the situation is not optimistic at all.

There is enough intelligence to prove that US bombers used the most advanced air-launched hypersonic cruise missiles, and the throwing volume was around the thugs. Because the United States increased its ammunition inventory after the Syrian-Israel war was to provide Israel with strategic reserves, and its inventory was in the case! The above achievements may have exceeded that of the concave ones. Soran's strategic aviation of the US Air Force can use at least two strike missions. In this way, Pei Chengyi did not have to consider intercepting US strategic bombers at all. Because when attacking civilian targets such as bridges and other civilian targets that were not covered by humming. The US bombers can launch missiles over the Azores in Yabayang. It does not need to enter the Western Mediterranean, and it will not enter the interception area of ​​the Republic's Air Force heavy air combat aircraft. Duqiwei basically chose high-value military targets in the first round of bombing. He just didn't want to let the strategic bombers take risks during the second round of bombing.

The US bombers can perform the second round of bombing missions within a concave hour, but Pei Chengyi cannot strengthen defense in such a short time. Besides, there are too many road bridges that need defense, and there are not so many interception systems at all, so they can only pick a few of the most important bridges for defense. This is why when considering the tactics, the first thing Pei Chengyi does is to let Yang Shaoyong determine the thug to strip or lick the main ground supply passage. When shortening the route as much as possible, it is necessary to ensure that the river that is easily destroyed and cannot be built with mechanical bridges is as little as possible. No matter what, at least the ground supply passage must be kept.

From the actual situation, the best choice is to set up the logistics supply center in Azaz and Gatema in the north of Aleppo, rather than set up the supply center in Gerabruce in the upper reaches of the Euphrates River as planned. Because it takes three times to go from Aleppo to Gerabruce! The new address of this site has been changed to: Excuse me for the heart, please log in to read it if you delete it!

The problem is that moving the supply center westward by hundreds of kilometers will bring about a more serious problem.

The troops heading north to attack must first pass by the noses of the US troops deployed in Iskendron.

To put it bluntly, the difficulty of the US military intercepting the eighth combat unit will be greatly reduced.

There is no doubt that this is what Duqiwei wants to achieve!

The Military Intelligence Agency has long provided the exact news that the rapid fleet that transported the 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Infantry Division will definitely arrive at Iskendron on the night of the 6th. Because these two troops were ready for combat before departure, and the large ships in the fast fleet have complete living and scraping facilities, and three trimarans with wide decks also have shooting ranges, so two US Army divisions can enter the battle after Iskendron get ashore.

Before this, Pei Chengyi selected the assault location in the upper reaches of the Euphrates River, hoping to avoid the two main divisions of the US military. Although this would expose the flanks of the offensive troops to the US military, Pei Chengyi did not think about fighting with the US military at all, but hoped to use a faster speed to get rid of the US military in a complex shape of Asia Minor. Because all supplies can only be completed through air transport and airdrops, and only vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft groups can be used, so in order to improve air transport efficiency, the supply center must be placed a little further.

It can be said that changing the breakthrough location has brought many problems.

Not to mention fighting head-on with the US military, it is possible to be counterattacked by the US military. Pei Chengyi would not expect Duqiwei to make mistakes. As long as Duqiwei calms down, he will know that capturing the supply center of the offensive forces is more effective than besieging the offensive forces. Azaz and Gatema are less than kilometers away from Iskendron, and are less than 4,000 meters away from the coastline. Because the carrier battle group of the Republic's Navy did not enter the Mediterranean. Therefore, Duqiwei did not even need to dispatch ground troops. He only needed to send several large warships into the Bay of Iskendron and use large-caliber electromagnetic guns to easily destroy the supply center of the offensive forces.

No matter what, the tactical arrangements that were made before would not work, and Pei Chengyi must consider them more.

Replanning the thug. It is not difficult to re-plan a set of offensive tactics, but it is almost impossible to complete the offensive deployment in such a short time.

It can be said that the choice before Pei Chengyi at that time was to fight or not.

Obviously, Pei Chengyi would not choose the latter.

Just like Du Qiwei's situation. When the battle on the southern front had begun, as long as Pei Chengyi didn't want to lose all his money, he had to do something in the north. Choosing to give up the attack is to choose to fail.

After choosing to continue the attack, Pei Chengyi arranged two tasks for the staff officer.

It is to figure out whether the strategic transport aircraft group can continue to carry out air transport tasks after completing the task of transporting the fifth combat unit. The second is how many vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft can be assembled to Aleppo Province within the hour after the attack begins, and how strong these transport aircraft can be dispatched.

Long Hongen and Yang Shaoyong, who were in charge of these two things, did not disappoint Pei Chengyi and quickly gave the answer.

After the strategic transport fleet completes the mission of the Fifth Combat Unit on July 8, it must rest for hours before it can continue to perform air transport missions.

The Army Air Force has deployed approximately locking vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft to the front line, which can send the concave fat to northern Syria. These transport aircraft can hold the thugs at the strength of each sequel for months, or hold the old days at the strength of six sequels per day.

After receiving this reply, Pei Chengyi immediately relaxed Xu Bai

No matter what, the advantage of strength cannot be changed.

After asking Yang Shaoyong to contact the aviation force and let the land aviation gather transport planes to the Nineveh Province in western Iraq as soon as possible, Pei Chengyi contacted Wang Xueping, who was worried about the attack on the front line.

"The attack will continue as planned, but the eighth combat unit must move to the town of Gatema north of Aleppo before attacking." Pei Chengyi said, while looking at the war zone map on the left screen. Because the tactical information sharing platform is used for communication and communication, Wang Xueping can also see the same war zone map.

The distance is about 200 kilometers, not too far or too close. According to the "preparation time when the thug is enough to complete the preparation work before the attack."

"The problem is, we don't have enough combat supplies."

"I am trying to solve the material problem and I will definitely be able to provide you with timely supplies." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said. "I have dispatched more than 200 transport aircraft from the Army Air Force. The strategic transport aircraft of the Air Force will also participate in tactical air transport work in four days. In general, before the fifth combat unit participates in the offensive, it can transport about 15,000 tons of combat materials to the front line every day. It can basically ensure the combat needs of the eighth combat unit."

After hearing what Pei Chengyi said, Wang Xueping's expression became more relaxed.

"But, Duqiwei has seen through our offensive plan, so I have made some adjustments to the tactics." When Pei Chengyi said this, the staff responsible for assisting the meeting replaced another map. "After the eighth combat unit entered Turkey, it first captured Killis, and must occupy this border city as quickly as possible. After adjusting the state, the troops set out in two ways, and the main force advanced west along the road north of the border line, and took the initiative to attack Iskendron. This attack must be fierce, accurate and fast, and there must be no hesitation. Even if there is a blockage, you must be firm and decisive. There is only one goal, so that Duqiwei believes that even if you can't defeat Iskendron, you will surround this port city."

"That is, isn't this the real purpose of the offensive?"

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "I will pay close attention to the situation, contact you in time, and adjust the offensive operations. After the second line of troops heading north from Kilis and conquering Gaziantep, they will penetrate north as quickly as possible, just like the first line of attacking troops. Remember, the destination is not Ankara, but to penetrate west at the appropriate time. In other words, when attacking, you must always pay attention to the situation in the west and arrange more scouts."

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly and said, "You mean that the task of the second attack is to cover the first attack and encircle Iskendron?"

"That's true. Anyway, your mission is to attack Iskendron, and you must make Duqiwei believe that our purpose is not to capture Ankara, but to capture Iskendron Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "We have received the news that the two main divisions of the US military will arrive at Iskendron, and they will be able to enter the battle after they arrive. Judging from today's bombing, Duqiwei will definitely not let our armored troops head north easily. Instead of exposing their flanks to the US military, it is better to take the initiative to force the US military to fight."

"If you fight like this, you may not be able to win."

"But it can force Duqiwei to invest more troops in the northern battlefield."

Wang Yuanqing nodded, indicating that he understood Pei Chengyi's meaning.

"The second batch of reinforcements of the US military will arrive soon. If I guess correctly, Duchewei will definitely use the strategic airlift power of the US Air Force. Although according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, it would be very good for the US transport fleet to transport an infantry division within 24 hours, the direction this unit will definitely have an impact on the battle situation and even completely change the situation. Imagine that if there is an additional US military advisor in the south, Su Jinhui may not be able to defend it. We will continue to increase troops to the southern line, and we can only turn a war with hope of victory into a meaningless war of attrition. Obviously, this is the result that the opponent hopes to appear, but it is the result that we must avoid. There is no choice but to attack fiercely in the north. Whoever loses this war depends on whose defense line collapses first."

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just a single battle to attack the defense line formed by two US military divisions, which is very difficult."

"This is certain, so the eighth combat unit does not require the eighth combat unit to defeat Iskendron." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "No matter what, Duqiwei's situation is much more difficult than ours. Su Jinhui only needs to defend Damascus, while Duqiwei must defend Ankara and Iskendron. If we do not attack Iskendron, we will march directly to Ankara, and the thugs Duqiwei is likely to take a gamble. Let the Turkish army guard Ankara desperately, and the two main divisions of the US military will storm the northern part of Syria from Iskendron, and will sweep the northern part of Syria to Damas.

G. At that time, it will not be up to who can defend the defense line, but who can first capture the other side's capital. Turkey is a mountainous country, while Syria is a desert country. From the terrain alone, we will not be able to gain advantage and cannot hold too much hope. For this reason, we can only attack Iskendron and force Duqiwei to invest more troops. In short, the attack must be decisive and resolute, even if Duqiwei knows that we do not really want to capture Iskendron, we must let him know. As long as the US military relaxes a little, we can capture Iskendron."

Wang Xueping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will do my best.

"For other things, I'll ask Dongfangwen to contact you. You can ask any requests. I'll try my best to make a decision for you."

Wang Xueping did not make any requests, and in fact he could not make any requests.
