Now that the battle plan has been decided, our defense will be launched according to this plan.
What I need to worry about is whether SAS will be fooled so easily... After all, this is SAS, a special forces unit that is quite famous internationally.
Of course, in addition to its own strength, part of the reason why this special force is so famous is that the BBC broadcast their successful operation in real time. This successful operation has since become a model for other countries to form special forces.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the blueprint is even a textbook.
But I still believe that sas is likely to fall into the trap I set.
There is no other reason. First of all, sas does not know us as much as we know sas.
It should be said that it is quite difficult for SAS to understand our Chinese advisory group. This is mainly due to the relatively closed information in our country. If this is in modern society, as a British special forces, you want to understand the situation of our unit.
, then you can collect information on the Internet or even use hackers
, so they can easily get the past combat situation, training situation, and growth situation of our unit, and use this to infer what training level we Chinese people should be at now. After all, our predecessors also
The deeds of Erlian are often published in newspapers and occasionally on TV.
But the problem is that there is no Internet at all in China now, which determines that the information about us that SAS can obtain in this short period of time is very limited.
I think all SAS can get is the part of Smith's cooperation with us in Afghanistan, but to be honest, our cooperation with Colonel Smith is only more at the training base. As for the Afghan battlefield... Smith has never
Entered it myself.
Besides, most of our training in Afghanistan was low-level training for the Afghan guerrillas, which did not reflect our strength at all.
On the contrary, we know much more about sas.
I use "we" instead of "I" here because I am not the only person who knows SAS.
Indeed, I know more about SAS than the soldiers. Needless to say the reason... As a modern person, I will always know more than them.
But in fact, the soldiers know a lot about this SAS, because the training they usually receive is almost exactly the same as the SAS they hear now.
For this reason, Scar asked me with confusion after the meeting: "Battalion Commander, what sas I heard you and Major Will talking about at the meeting, how come it is so similar to us?"
"Yeah!" Liang Lianbing also interjected: "I also find it strange. For example, using helicopters to parachute, rappelling... I also secretly asked Xu Jianping, they also use flash bombs, smoke bombs, those tactics are
Our synthetic camp did this!"
"Is there a traitor?" Xiao Shitou came up and said: "It is very likely that the traitor passed our training methods to these British guys..."
"Hey!" I interrupted them and explained: "What's so strange about this, because these methods are more suitable for actual combat! We figured this out after fighting on the battlefield, and others didn't.
They also figured out this trick? What’s so strange about the similar tactics? How can it be different if they were all forced out of actual combat?”
When we said this, the soldiers said "oh" and nodded in agreement with my words.
In fact, what I am embarrassed to say and cannot say is...the reason why we do this is because of the knowledge I brought from modern times. Historically, our country's special forces have indeed lagged far behind other countries. This is an objective fact.
Therefore, we Chinese ** people can be said to know the tactics of SAS very well. But SAS knows nothing about us, and they may even learn some wrong information from Smith, such as these Chinese **
People are good at camouflage and using fortifications to hide.
What's more, SAS also knew very well what kind of training level the British army had, so he took it for granted that he already had enough information.
So... it is inevitable for sas to have a mentality of underestimating our enemies.
It is precisely because of SAS's mentality of underestimating the enemy that they will be convinced after receiving the information that "the focus of defense is on the front of the beach. The defense time will be in the middle of the night"... This information coincides with their assessment of us.
That is to say, they believe that it is Chinese talents with this level of training who can formulate such a combat plan.
But what they didn't expect was that not only did they seriously underestimate us, but every step they took made us count for death.
The location of the exercise is more than an hour away from our base... Speaking of which, South Georgia Island is quite large, with a length of 160 kilometers and a width of 32 kilometers, with a total area of more than 3,000 square kilometers. Just put a point on it
It is more than ten kilometers away from our base, and because of the cold weather, there is ice and snow everywhere, which makes our fleet have to slow down and drive carefully.
When marching on ice and snow, especially when marching on mountain ice and snow, you need to be even more careful, because some places seem to be very flat, but it is not until you sink into it that you realize that it is a big pit... This big pit has been covered by
The soft snow layer was filled up and nothing could be seen on the surface.
Then when we arrived at our destination, we discovered a new problem. That was that there was frozen soil everywhere. We could only dig up a small handful of soil with a shovel with all our strength, so we built fortifications.
brought great difficulties.
However, Colonel Gale, who is the director of the team, also said about this: "All you have to do is deploy troops and firepower at the corresponding locations, describe these situations in the document, and hand it over to me!"
This Colonel Gale is Major Will's immediate boss, and he will become the person who formed the director team of this exercise. It is because of SAS's proposal... Obviously, the purpose of SAS's proposal is to make Major Will's immediate boss
Take a good look at how sas defeated their troops.
Colonel Gale was quite dissatisfied with this... As long as he was a soldier with integrity, he would not give up easily, even in exercises, not to mention that this SAS was deliberately trying to make the Army lose face.
As for the fact that we don’t need to build fortifications, it’s not that Colonel Gale intentionally favored us.
In fact, Colonel Gale had discussed this matter with SAS.
The main reason is of course that the purpose of this exercise by SAS is to simulate the battle to land on the Falklands. The Argentine soldiers on the Falklands have enough time and conditions to build complete fortifications, but we only have a few hours.
, all the tools are just a pair of hands and a shovel.
In other words, if SAS does not agree with this, it will be defeated without force, and the exercise will become completely meaningless.
So this saved us a lot of trouble... Of course, in order to make the exercise more realistic and also to provide some necessary training to the British soldiers, we used the snow to pile up to look like trenches.
Of course, trenches made of snow are of little use in actual combat, but they can still be used for drills.
The next step is to collect ammunition.
Colonel Gale and his men ordered us over and over again to check whether there were live ammunition on our bodies or in our guns, and then he sent boxes of blank ammunition to us, and finally deployed several observers at various locations.
...The preparations for the exercise are now complete.
Of course, just like the previous plan, everything we did before it got dark was an illusion.
This is mainly in response to SAS's reconnaissance... What I know is that SAS's collection of intelligence will not just be as simple as extracting it from the British army, but will be followed by various reconnaissance methods, such as
Use reconnaissance planes to take photos, send reconnaissance teams to monitor from a distance, use telescopes, etc.
So everything we did during the day was as step-by-step as conventional warfare... laying mines facing the sea, laying barbed wire, etc.
But it's different at night.
"Get up!" As soon as we saw the sky getting dark, the British soldiers who had just finished dinner and hid in the tent to rest were kicked and screamed by us.
"What happened?" The British soldiers all had puzzled expressions after getting out of the tent: "Didn't you say that you should have a good rest in the first half of the night to refresh yourself?"
"What the hell? I just fell asleep!"
…
I couldn't help but faint at this. It seemed that these British soldiers really had no sense of urgency about this exercise, and they could fall asleep so quickly under such circumstances.
But it seems that we can't blame them. First of all, this is just an exercise and not a real battle. In fact, in such a barren ice and snow, they are building fortifications and laying landmines. For them who are already pampered, it is indeed
It still makes things difficult for them.
"The situation has changed!" I said: "There is reliable intelligence that SAS will launch a surprise attack from behind our army, and the attack time is in the middle of the night, so we have to build a defense line in another direction!"
Before I finished speaking, the British soldiers let out a cry.
"What is it called!" Scar couldn't help shouting angrily: "If it were a war now, would you have the same attitude? Obey orders!"
When Scar called him like this, the British soldiers fell silent, even though they didn't understand what Scar was saying.
I also know from one point that Scar's training of the British soldiers during this period was quite effective. As for me...because I have been staying in the fleet these days, I don't spend much time with the British soldiers.
So this prestige is actually not as good as Scar.
Later I found out that there is actually a reason for this, that is, Scar's "cruelty" towards the British soldiers is not comparable to mine. For example, during the training on the first day, a British soldier's hand gave way to the knife.
