Chapter 108 Going Deep into the Enemy's Territory 3
On the sixth day of the military exercise, the Blue Army's attack became even more fierce, because they were still far away from the expected goal set by the exercise director. The Red Army's quagmire tactics brought down the Blue Army's mechanized troops, and at the minimum cost,
Won the greatest victory.
One of the most critical victories was concentrating firepower to completely annihilate a main armored regiment of the Blue Army. Dozens of the latest main battle tanks and another mechanized infantry regiment were ambushed by the main force of the Red Army after they broke through the pass.
Although the Red Army also suffered a lot of losses, the losses were much lower than those of the Blue Army. When the two armies faced off, the Red Army deployed all the air power of the Army Aviation Regiment, plus several ordinary armored regiments and the coverage of guided weapons.
The Blue Army suffered heavy casualties as soon as they entered the position, and many tanks were unable to move forward.
However, the commanders of the Blue Army were not vegetarians. After knowing that the exit they captured was a pocket formation set up by the Red Army, they also severely damaged two ordinary armored regiments of the Red Army and verified the performance of the Type 99 main battle tank.
With the cooperation of the opponent's land and air force, they broke into the trap again and achieved such results, which is enough to make the people of the General Armament Department proud.
Although it severely damaged two ordinary armored regiments of the Red Army, it did not severely damage the main force of the Red Army. This ace armored regiment was completely wiped out, but it was also a loss. From a strategic point of view, the Type 99 main battle tank is powerful, but expensive to build.
Although the ace armored regiment has achieved results, it is still used improperly.
Therefore, although the two ordinary armored regiments of the Red Army were severely damaged, they were not completely wiped out. At least they still had combat effectiveness. If it was really during the war, the Type 99 main battle tank would be completely wiped out for the first time in battle, which would have a negative impact on morale.
The impact and subsequent development are all a huge limitation.
The exercise director team determined that the Red Army was completely victorious in this armored confrontation. Both tactically and strategically, the Red Army destroyed the Blue Army's most valuable resources at the minimum cost.
In fact, Commander Zuo was extremely smart. He was not prepared to confront the Blue Army head-on from the beginning. He guarded every pass and gave the Blue Army the illusion of being unable to sustain itself.
But in terms of tactics, Commander Zuo used the tactic of refueling, killing some people, and the people on standby immediately added them, shooting all the people up, guarding every pass, and he had already killed Lu from the beginning.
As the most mobile force, the aviation group supports various passes, so although the Blue Army is contained in this quagmire, it thinks that the Red Army's strength is also extremely scattered.
Therefore, the main armored regiment was dispatched, preparing to attack Huanglong and catch the Red Army by surprise. However, what they didn't expect was that the Red Army's Army Aviation Regiment quickly assembled. The Blue Army was ambushed by the Red Army's artillery fire before they had crossed the pass.
This is not the main reason.
What the Blue Army did not expect was that the Red Army initially used only one ordinary armored regiment to contain their main armored regiment regardless of casualties, allowing their main Army Aviation Regiment and other armored regiments to quickly arrive, gaining valuable time.
The disadvantage of the Blue Army was that they underestimated the speed of the Red Army's arrival. Otherwise, any main armored regiment, guided by some air power, could sweep the entire battlefield, but they did not expect to encounter many times the number of enemies.
, and first of all, it is weaker in air power.
So if you lose at one step, you will lose at every step.
Yi Xiaochuan followed Commander Zuo. In the past few days, the command post was so busy that no one paid attention to him, a student. However, Yi Xiaochuan observed extremely carefully and saw Commander Zuo whether on the electronic map or on the electronic map.
At the meeting, everyone was calm and composed. Even though several key passes of the Red Army were almost captured, Commander Zuo remained calm.
At the beginning, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't understand what Commander Zuo was doing at all. Later, with the reports and suggestions of the staff and the development of the battle situation, Yi Xiaochuan understood a little. As long as he was in Commander Zuo's command post, he could watch
From the signs on his map, it was clear that the Blue Army's power was completely dispersed, and the main force of the Red Army never went up. It only gave the Blue Army a few symbolic scratches, making the Blue Army mistakenly think that the Red Army was resisting with all its strength.
After all, the Blue Army was several times larger than the enemy. It is hard to imagine that the Red Army actually preserved its main force and used small groups to hold on to each pass.
Moreover, Commander Zuo did not neglect the arrangement of small details. He personally ordered the defense of almost every pass, as well as the connected terrain and support forces. At first, Yi Xiaochuan was surprised that there were so many
Commander, why does a commander-in-chief care about the defense of these small passes?
But as the battle situation became clearer, he suddenly realized that it was precisely because these passes blocked the Blue Army's assault from all aspects that the Blue Army was now in a slightly weak position against the Red Army. Once the exercise period expired, the Blue Army would undoubtedly lose.
"It's almost time to launch a counterattack. Order all units of the Red Army to attack freely and fight back for me." Commander Zuo looked at the map, took off his eyes and said calmly.
Yi Xiaochuan, who was standing aside, suddenly felt that the old man had an aura of fighting and fighting, and he was also surprised, because the staff just assessed that the Blue Army still had the possibility of counterattack, and if the Red Army held on to its position to delay the attack,
If so, support will arrive, and the exercise will end when support arrives.
This exercise, codenamed "Soul of the Sword", simulates a sudden attack on the border by a certain country. The border guards are caught off guard to defend and await reinforcements. As long as the Blue Army captures the pass of the Red Army, they can drive all the way in, enter the border, and occupy all the territory.
The Red Army has an opportunity to hold the pass for seven days. If it holds the pass, reinforcements will arrive. If it cannot hold the border, it will be invaded. The reinforcements will not be able to take any advantage and may even disrupt subsequent deployments.
Commander Zuo's pre-war mobilization told everyone that this was not an exercise, this was a real war that could happen at any time on the border of our country. As soldiers, they cannot be without any sense of fighting like the common people, because behind them is the motherland.
The problem that Yi Xiaochuan didn't understand was also the problem that the staff didn't understand. Why did the Red Army take the risk of counterattack despite having the advantage? This is extremely unreasonable, because the Red Army's current strength is enough to defend the territory at most, but cannot counterattack. On the contrary, the Blue Army
But it is possible to organize an attack again.
Any commander would never leave the position he had held and launch a counterattack that might fail in the face of such an outcome.
However, looking at the hesitation of the young staff officers, Commander Zuo said: "This is not an exercise, this is a real war. When the enemy gives up peace and invades our country, we have to do more than just
It is to defend the land under our feet. We must fight back and make them frightened. Premier Zhou once said that the Chinese people love peace, but we are not afraid of any enemies who dare to invade our territory. The Republic was fought. If such a war
If something happens on our border, are we really just defending our territory?"
The staff officers looked at me and I looked at you. Although they had heard a lot of rhetoric and oaths, they had to say that Commander Zuo’s words made their blood boil the most. And from his words, the staff officers seemed to understand
This is what Commander Zuo wanted to express.
Just like the code name of this exercise, the sharp sword points directly to the enemy's soul. This sharp sword does not refer to the Blue Army, but to the Red Army. If the Red Army just holds the land under its feet and waits for reinforcements, this first war will be an invasion.
If the opponent loses, he will not be able to show the military might of the Chinese soldiers.
Only counterattack is the real sword. Only counterattack can boost the morale of the incoming reinforcements and prevent the recruits who have experienced the war from flinching.
No matter which war it is, the fighting at the beginning is the most critical. The defending party or the attacking party must drive the fighting will of the entire army, so that the subsequent troops can follow this fighting will and penetrate into the heart of the enemy.
, to make the enemy fearful, this is the true meaning of the sword soul, and it is also the soul of an army.
It was difficult for Yi Xiaochuan to understand the true meaning of this, but his blood was boiling. Just those words of reply made his heart unable to calm down for a long time. This was an encouragement, and even he himself could not think of a word to give it.
It inspired his courage. At this moment, he even wanted to fight the Blue Army with a gun, regardless of his life or death. This was really unbelievable for him who had always been timid and cowardly.
Yun Feiyang stayed in the tank, and his camouflage uniform was stained with some oil. For him who always loved to be clean, this was absolutely unbearable. But not only did he not care, he was very proud of the oil stain on his body, just like the military
It's the same as the medal awarded to him personally.
This was acquired while following the squad leader to tinker with tanks. Although he was a racing driver, he did not have the opportunity to drive a tank. He followed the armored regiment and experienced the battle just now. Unfortunately, he and his
The tank is dead. If it were a real battlefield, maybe it would be a pile of meat connected to the tank's armor.
After experiencing the Snow Dragon Mountain track and the military exercise, he had a deeper understanding of life, and from this squad leader, he no longer looked down upon people born in ordinary families, because he knew that if this
It's a war. No matter where you are born, the cannonballs will not have eyes because of your family background. The only people you can trust are the comrades around you, no matter how rich or poor you are, because only your comrades can save your life. This is the squad leader and his
Speak from the heart.
Hu Ping'an felt the thrill of flying for free. This guy was pretty promising and not afraid of heights. Although he was not flying in an armed helicopter but a transport helicopter, for him, the feeling of flying in the sky was better than buying a lottery ticket.
Winning one million still made him excited.
Unfortunately, not long after the exercise started, he was determined to have been hit by enemy ground fire, causing the aircraft to crash and killing everyone. Therefore, he could only follow the pilot to maintain the aircraft on the tarmac. He was treated like a living dead.
What's exciting is that after the exercise is over, if he doesn't slack off, the pilot will take him on another flight.
Ye Qiu followed the director team in the simulation room of the exercise and watched with great pleasure. The entire battlefield was simulated with game graphics, and it was extremely lifelike. He even found it a bit incredible that there would be game-like scenes in the army.
Simulation, but the technician told him that not only did the army have simulations, but there were also games specially designed for soldiers, all of which were independently developed for training.
So Ye Qiu became more determined to play games in the future, and he had to tell his parents when he went back that games were not only harmful, but also had beneficial aspects.
During this period, he thought of Canglong's words again, because he could hardly use the game simulation equipment in the army. This was not because of his poor game skills, but because of his limited knowledge. If it was just for
If he just plays games for the sake of playing games, maybe he will really have to stop moving forward in his life and become a netizen.
At a certain moment, he decided to study hard, master knowledge, and design his own games in the future. Maybe that would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.
