"Can we change our style of play?" Captain Wu asked.
"If you have a better way to fight!" Commander Xu replied: "Of course!"
At this moment, the cadres were stunned again... There was only one place to fight, and that was the Red Army's defense line. The time was also set, that is, at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. What other ways to fight?!
From this point of view, if this were an actual battle, the Red Army would almost be able to predict the future, that is, they would know where we will attack and when we will attack.
Of course, our specific attack time will not be known to the Red Army, but it actually makes no difference, because the exercise time is only five days from beginning to end... Doesn't this mean that we know the attack time? We must attack in these two days, otherwise we will not attack.
There is no time to fight!
"So!" Staff Officer Xu smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "These are the four subjects of the exercise: countering enemy tank attack clusters; counter-airborne; army division solid position defense; combat reserve counter-assault... countering enemy clusters
To attack with tanks, use cannons
The soldiers and the air force bombarded our tank group. Anti-airborne means using motorized infantry to fight quickly. The defense of the army division position is a solid defense for us to attack the 38th Army. As for the counter-assault, it is the reserve force of the 38th Army against us.
Let’s launch a counterattack!”
"Comrades!" The political commissar spoke at this time: "Although this exercise is a bit unfair to our Blue Army, the superiors also have their own thoughts. If you think about it from the perspective of your superiors...the Soviet devils' spy satellites are staring at you.
Let's see, can we really fight this battle based on the actual situation of the imaginary enemy? What's more, this exercise has a lot of propaganda at home and abroad, so what else will the Red Army do if it loses?"
"Political commissar!" Captain Wu couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Isn't there a performance unit for external publicity? What we are talking about is a real fight..."
"Then we have to cooperate!" The political commissar raised his head: "If we really lose the fight and the performing unit wins, what do you think the Soviet spy satellites will say when they see it?"
When the political commissar said this, the cadres became silent.
Only then did I suddenly realize that this exercise had to be more of a performance and publicity exercise due to domestic and foreign pressure.
After thinking about it, I said: "My opinion is this. Even if our Blue Army is going to lose, we still have to show something, otherwise it will be one-sided and the Red Army will fight. The Soviet devils also think it is unrealistic...
…”
"You can still do something good after everything is like this?" Staff Officer Xu countered: "It's not bad if you don't get beaten to a pulp by the Red Army!"
"Of course!" I said, "As long as we can prescribe the right medicine in a targeted manner!"
"Prescribe the right medicine?" All the cadres couldn't help but look at me in astonishment.
I nodded and said: "Actually, this battle was precisely because our blue army's tactics were so rigidly defined. It got to the point where the red army could almost predict the future. This is a shortcoming for us, but it is also a strength at the same time!
"
"Strengths?" Staff Officer Xu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Our army's tactics are within the enemy's expectations. Is this still a strength?"
"Of course!" I said: "Because the Red Army thinks we can only fight like this, we can predict what kind of reaction the Red Army will make. In other words, we also have no idea of the Red Army's reaction, so we only need to add a little bit of force to the key parts.
If you make any changes, it is very likely that you will lose a thousand pounds!"
"Oh!" Commander Wu quickly understood. He said, "It's just like a drill we did before!"
"That's right!" I nodded: "The Red Army's defense looks impeccable. The frontal defense has solid fortifications and geographical advantages. They are a force that has dealt with Yankee aircraft and artillery on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, so I I fully believe that the fortifications they built can withstand the impact of our army's artillery fire, air power, tanks and infantry. For our airborne troops, the Red Army also has anti-aircraft artillery, air power and motorized troops to coordinate, so we basically have no room to operate. But this is only during the day..."
When I said this, all the cadres couldn't help but get excited.
Commander Wu nodded heavily and said: "My opponent! Our fighter planes basically have no night combat capability. The anti-aircraft artillery unit's night combat capability is not strong either, let alone anti-aircraft machine guns and the like... If we make some small adjustments, use By airborne at night, our airborne troops will be able to accomplish much!"
"I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Commander Xu shook his head and said: "Even if our airborne troops can successfully land and occupy several key points, you also know...the Red Army has tank troops and motorized troops. They can assemble large numbers of troops in a short period of time. troops, and then quickly surrounded and annihilated our airborne troops with the coordination of tanks and artillery. During the day, we could even use air power. But our airborne troops went deep alone, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to last long!"
"So the target of our airborne troops is nothing else..." I said: "It is the tank troops and artillery troops of the Red Army. Once these two troops are defeated by our army, the Red Army will be like a tiger with only its teeth pulled out!"
"Destroy the tanks and artillery units of the Red Army?" Commander Wu asked doubtfully: "How is this possible? We don't know the location of these units of the Red Army at all!"
"This is what I think!" I said: "At the beginning, we can use the trick and launch a fierce attack on the Red Army with clusters of tanks under the cover of artillery. Of course, this is just a feint attack. Our tanks and infantry must pay attention to preserving their strength. , try to disperse or take advantage of the Red Army’s artillery blind spots. At the same time, send reconnaissance planes to monitor the Red Army’s exposed artillery positions, so that we can know the location of the Red Army’s artillery positions!”
"Hmm!" Captain Wu nodded.
"On the other hand!" I said: "We select part of the airborne troops to parachute to the rear of the Red Army during the day. They occupy important military areas. We send reconnaissance troops to mix in to detect the artillery positions and tank units of the Red Army. Actual. Once the location of the Red Army’s artillery positions and tank units is determined, immediately launch an airborne attack on them!”
"That makes sense!" Commander Wu agreed: "Our tank attacks and airborne landings during the day can expose the Red Army's artillery troops and tank troops respectively, and the transfer of artillery troops and tank troops will leave obvious traces. As long as If there are a few reconnaissance experts in the reconnaissance force, it will not be difficult to find the location of the artillery and tank units..."
Then all the cadres in the conference room turned their attention to the political commissar and military commander. The plan was there, but the question was whether it could be fought like this, and what if we won?!
