This stage is also the first of the four subjects of the exercise: countering enemy tank attack by clusters.
In fact, countering the enemy's tank attack in clusters is not the focus of this subject. I personally think the focus should be on seizing air supremacy or weakening the enemy's air power.
Because the anti-swarm tank attack is actually very simple, that is, artillery. A large number of artillery blocks and fires at the forward position, which is the open area where the enemy's group tanks pass... So as long as there are enough artillery shells and artillery, the enemy's group tank attack will inevitably be defeated.
to losses or delays.
But there is a premise, that is, air supremacy is already in our own hands or the enemy's air power has been significantly weakened. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it will not be able to withstand the bombing of enemy aircraft.
The Red Army was very successful in this regard. The Blue Army's air power was greatly weakened due to the paralysis of the forward airport. Its bombers were unable to carry out repeated bombings against the Red Army in a short period of time. At the same time, the Red Army's ground-based anti-aircraft firepower attacked the Blue Army's air force.
Strength is also a big threat.
I think this is also the strategy of the Red Army. If it cannot achieve this... then the next battle will almost be said to be fought under pressure.
One thing I have to admit is that the Red Army's artillery fire was very accurate... With sharp whistling sounds, rows of artillery shells accurately landed on the open ground where our army's tanks attacked, creating walls of fire.
And a closer look shows that the Red Army's anti-tank is not just a simple artillery explosion. There are various anti-tank firearms in the warning positions to coordinate with the shooting, such as rocket launchers, recoilless rifles, and even anti-tank weapons.
Tank missile.
After more than ten minutes of earth-shattering bombing and shooting, the verdict came out: the Blue Army had lost more than 70 tanks and armored vehicles.
I was quite surprised by this judgment result. Because this is almost one-third of the total number of armored vehicles sent to the battlefield by our army this time. Although the artillery of the Red Army is very fierce, our tank group is also prepared to hide in the blind spot of the artillery fire.
Yes, it’s hard to believe that there would be such heavy casualties. Even at this time, I had some doubts about whether the director team was deliberately favoring the Red Army.
But later I realized that I was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart this time. This is indeed the real combat effectiveness of the Red Army. The accuracy of the tank targets they used anti-tank equipment on the training ground was quite amazing. This is especially true.
The Hongjian 73 anti-tank missile actually hit six out of six shots, and the targets were all 2,000 meters away.
Of course, these six Hongjian 73s hit immovable targets or several immovable tanks as targets, but those of us who have used Hongjian 73 anti-tank missiles know... Although this thing is
The missile is worth 30,000 yuan, but because it was just produced and some of its technologies are immature, many missiles will malfunction during launch.
For example, it falls to the ground as soon as it is launched, or it flies without pressing the controls after being launched, etc. In addition, it is still controlled by a handle, so the missile has a hit rate of 80%, which is quite good, and the 38th Army
The missile shooter was actually able to achieve a 100% hit rate in that situation where shells were flying and smoke filled... This even had to surprise me.
Later I learned that one of the missiles fired by the 38th Army actually malfunctioned, that is, the sixth missile was actually launched out of control... The missile shooter could not lower the missile, but this missile shooter reacted extremely quickly
.In the fifteen seconds between the launch of the missile and its arrival at the target, he suddenly realized that the missile was only partially out of control. In other words, he did not accept the "down" command, so he alternately used "left down" and "right".
The two commands "Down" finally made the missile stagger and hit the target.
This does not mean that there is no element of luck in it, but I know very well that this luck also requires a cool head and sensitivity to missile operations. Otherwise, just luck would be about the same as winning a multi-million dollar jackpot.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but wonder: How did the 38th Army train such high-quality missile shooters!
After asking, I realized that I had actually used all their methods, but I only used them to train snipers.
Simply put it is:
After practicing heartbeat training, cross-country long-distance running, single and parallel bars, and climbing, shooting lessons were suddenly given.
Second, practice counting the seconds. In order to accurately calculate the flight time of the missile, the 30-second reading must be exactly the same as the second hand.
The third practice is anti-interference. When the shooter is practicing on the simulator, there are gongs and drums and the sound of gunshots and explosions next to him.
After practicing like this desperately, I finally mastered the ability to use anti-tank missiles as sniper rifles.
This has to make me admire the training of the 38th Army. At the same time, I also know that missile shooters can also use the same training methods as snipers. In the future, I will have to put more effort into the missile shooters in the combined battalion.
However, these tactical victories of the 38th Army could not make up for their strategic mistakes. They were completely unaware that our military's aerial reconnaissance aircraft had captured the location and even the direction of their artillery positions through cameras.
Of course, our army's artillery fire also suppressed the detected artillery positions... It is normal to suppress them, otherwise it will make the Red Army suspect that we have something behind us.
This judgment of the director team also means that our group tank attack has been blocked. It is obvious that if we are still forcibly attacking with tanks at this time, our tanks will soon be replaced by the Red Army's long-range artillery.
With the cooperation of infantry anti-tank equipment, the casualties were almost eliminated.
So we quickly entered the next stage, delivering paratroopers to the rear of the Red Army.
Two battalions of troops were parachuted to the rear of the Red Army this time. This was of course a feint attack. As we said before, its real purpose was to allow our reconnaissance troops to sneak in.
Needless to say who led this reconnaissance unit, of course they were the two tracking masters Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao. Their task was to find out the location of the Red Army artillery positions and tank regiments as much as possible, and to pass this location through the infantry
The phone reports to us.
In other words, these two battalions were actually only put in for a little information about the Red Army.
Sometimes I wonder, if it were not an exercise but a real battlefield, would we have simply thrown these two battalions in as bait?
From this point of view, exercises will be easier to command than real battlefields, because at this time we do not have the guilt and pressure of putting living soldiers to death. (To be continued...)
