Chapter 1064 The Reverse Island Seizure Plan Under "Leapfrog Tactics"
[Unmodified version, tossed all night last night, very sleepy, revise later]

Hearing Jiang Chen's tone, Lei Zhan laughed and said, "The tone is not small, do you know what it means to fight this battle?"

Hehe, Jiang Chen looked at Lei Zhan and smiled, "Compared to the benefits gained in this battle, what is the difficulty and loss?"

Hearing this, Lei Zhan thought for a while, then lit a cigarette and looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Tell me your thoughts, how you came to fight this battle."

Hehe, with your old man here, I won't play big swords in front of you.You smoke less, it's not good for your health.Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The old man waved his hand and said, "This is today's ration. I haven't smoked it yet. It's okay. Don't pretend to be confused in front of me. You are much better than me in terms of special operations. Hurry up and say, I have limited time."

All right.Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Lei Zhan, "Do you know the leapfrog tactic?"

The old man was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "You are talking about the tactics used by Lao Mei in World War II to seize the island?"

Yes, it is the island-taking tactics used by the United States in World War II.Jiang Chen nodded and said: "For a long time, in the thousands of years when the land battlefield dominated, the confrontation between the two sides of the war was a clear competition between the "Chu River" and the "Han Realm". In the commander's mind, there is always a clear battle line. Both sides in the battle are based on their own camps and advance one by one, using troops according to the law. In the middle and late stages of World War II, the Pacific War fell into such a state of seesaw, led by the United States The Allied forces of the United States began to counterattack, while the Japanese army was stubbornly resisting. The South Pacific is dotted with islands, and the two sides competed for each island. It came up in my mind. That is to abandon the traditional method of flat push in the past, and adopt jumping forward and attacking across the island. Using this set of tactics, the Allied forces in the Pacific Theater under their command marched in two directions, taking advantage of the naval superiority, avoiding the Open up the Japanese army's first-line defense points, and attack the weaker defense islands in its strategic depth. After succeeding, use this as a support to continue the offensive, thus greatly speeding up the process of the war, and broke through the Japanese army's interior in just over half a year. The defense circle. Because the combat method is exactly the same as the 'combat mechanism' of frogs jumping and predating, people vividly call the latter's combat theory, which escapes the shackles of linear thinking, the 'frog leap' tactic."

Do you mean to adopt leapfrog tactics, take the way of crossing the island to attack, capture the enemy's well-defended island, and then continue to attack as a springboard?Lei Zhan said hesitantly when he heard the words.

That's right.Jiang Chen nodded.

However, you know that the premise of leapfrog tactics is to have a very strong navy and air force as support, so that this plan can be carried out smoothly.Once there is no strong support force, the troops that 'leapfrog' out are likely to fall into the enemy's siege.Lei Zhan said worriedly.

Hehe, Nanban is not a Japanese country, and we are not old Americans.This is different from the Pacific battlefield back then.That is a full-scale war, while ours is just a local conflict, and the nature and intensity of the war are different.And the leapfrog tactic I mentioned is still different from the old Mei's set of tactics.Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

Oh, say what's on your mind, don't go around in circles.Lei Zhan blew his beard and stared.

Yes, take your time.Jiang Chen explained with a smile: "It's like this. According to the distribution of the islands and reefs in this sea area, as well as the actual conditions of the islands and reefs, I think we should adopt a sequence from big to small, and from difficult to easy. The island war. That's the exact opposite of the island war in World War II, and of course, that's what I think it is based on the facts."

Oh, turn it upside down, from difficult to easy, this is a brand new way of thinking, talk about your basis.Lei Zhan said with interest.

Jiang Chen nodded and said to Lei Zhan, "I don't know if you have a map of this sea area. Let's use the map to make it clearer."

Hearing this, Lei Zhan vomited a little, and then motioned to the secretary.The secretary understood, and then walked out. Soon the secretary brought several maps of different scales of this sea area and related information. It can be seen that these are carefully prepared military maps, and some things should be It is newly marked, and it seems that a lot of preparations have been made above.Seeing this, Jiang Chen found a relatively complete map of this sea area and said to the old man:

Grandpa, look, this sea area is mainly divided into several island groups.These are Key West, Middle Key, East Key and South Key.Among them, the Middle Reef Islands and the East Reef Islands are not to be mentioned, basically they are all under our control.At present, our main focus is on the two archipelagoes of the Key West Islands and the South Key Islands.As for the Key West Islands, through our series of actions, they are basically under control now, so there is no big problem.Next, we only need to strengthen the control over this area, and then gradually eliminate the Nanban's participating strongholds in this area.As for this aspect, I think we can take the road of military-civilian integration. On the one hand, we should strengthen the garrison in important areas and islands and reefs, and strengthen the garrison and defense of this area.On the other hand, it is to actively persuade fishermen to go to the islands and reefs to raise fish and consolidate the islands. In addition, we can follow our previous method and set up special militia organizations among these fishermen and fishing boats to cooperate with local troops and relevant departments.

Seeing Lei Zhan nodding his head, Jiang Chen continued, "Then there is only the South Reef Islands, and the South Reef Islands have the largest number of reefs, the largest area, and the largest controlled sea area among these archipelagos. And It is also the most severely occupied area by foreign countries, and our main action this time is aimed at this area."

At present, with the shrinking of Treasure Island's snobbery in this area, it currently only controls Daping Island. This island is the largest in the entire South Reef Islands, and it is also the main island in this area.Of course, although the conditions on this island are very good, due to the special relationship between us and Treasure Island, this island is naturally immobile, so we will leave it alone for the time being.And other islands are being quickly divided and occupied by these surrounding countries.Of course, there should still be some unoccupied blank areas in these islands. I think we should quickly occupy this area, and then garrison and control it to gain a firm foothold and prepare for our next actions.For example, on a suitable island and reef, a field airport is temporarily opened up for fighter planes to take off and land temporarily to prepare for the next battle.At that time, once the battle starts, these fighter planes can quickly transfer here, and then provide air support for our troops and carry out air defense and security work.Of course, the premise of this is that the air force and naval aviation units are required to be proficient in flying operations in a tropical marine environment, so we must let the relevant troops do targeted simulation training in this area before the official battle begins.

Lei Zhan nodded when he heard the words, and besides signaling the staff to record carefully, he also took out a pen and paper to write it down.Facing Lei Zhan's gaze, Jiang Chen continued knowingly: "The next step is to build a pier on this island, which can park various supply ships, combat ships, and landing amphibious ships. When the battle starts After the establishment, this place will become the logistics center of the entire front finger, and will be responsible for the logistics support tasks of the entire attack force. Therefore, correspondingly, a corresponding material storage and transfer center should be established here, such as this oil, fresh water, food, combat equipment, field operations Hospitals and other facilities. And these things can be transported by ships in normal times, and in wartime, they can be transported by armed fleets, or air force transport planes from Qiongdao Transport Road. This distance is not a problem at all if the transport planes fly around."

So after solving the logistics support work, let's talk about how to fight.Jiang Chen looked at Lei Zhan, who marked with his heart, and said, "Fighting in the ocean is different from fighting on land. It has a strong professionalism, so it needs a special force for this kind of combat, so the Marine Corps It was conceived and born. And we also have the Marine Corps in this area, but for some reason, our development is relatively slow. And this mission is thousands of kilometers away from our inland overseas, so an elite The Marine Corps is particularly important. Moreover, this force not only has to undertake the entire combat mission, but also is responsible for future guard tasks. In other words, the success of this campaign plan depends on whether we have such An elite army. Not only can it be defeated, but it can also be defended."

Lei Zhan memorized for a while, then stopped writing and said to Jiang Chen: "You don't have to worry about this. Although our Marine Corps has been rebuilt, it has developed very fast in the past few years. It is enough to deal with these small fish and shrimp."

Well, in this regard, I have no doubts.Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Everything in advance has been prepared, and the next step is to act. This is how I envisioned it. Since we want to act, we should fight quickly and quickly. This is very important to us. We must fight before the enemy wipes us out." Before we realized it, we took the main islands controlled by the entire Nanban with lightning speed, which is their relatively main stronghold, and they are also heavily guarded. When the enemy reacts, then we have already occupied these main islands Then, on the one hand, we will strengthen the defense of these islands, on the other hand, we will continue to sweep away the remaining enemies, and directly sweep the Nanman out of this sea area."

Of course, Jiang Chen took a sip and said, "Because our logistical support is very limited, our actions should not be too scattered, and we must expand and develop from point to point. It's like a drop of ink spreading rapidly in water, and there are so many Drop this kind of ink into this sea area at the same time, then this sea area will quickly turn red. The reason why I want to do this is because if we adopt the traditional method of going from weak to strong, from big to small, easy first If we act in a difficult way. Then after we conquer the small targets, the enemies in these important strongholds will have some defenses. It will be more difficult for us to attack again. And this sea area is relatively close to the Nanban. Respond The southern barbarians will send troops for reinforcements soon, and it will be even more difficult for us to fight these islands again.

And if we conquer these large targets quickly, even if Nanban reacts and sends troops to defend these other small targets, because these small islands and reefs themselves have limited areas, they cannot accommodate many troops.Then, with a powerful civilization gradually mastering the initiative, the enemies on these islands and reefs will appear insignificant.And we, who occupy the convenience of the islands and reefs, against these reinforcements that have nowhere to stay, I think this advantage is self-evident.For example, let's not say anything else, just say that after we occupy these islands, we can deploy corresponding coastal defense artillery units. Can't take advantage of anything. "

Since we can have our coastal defense artillery unit, the Nanman who have already occupied some islands have not arranged it, so how will we occupy these islands by then.You have to know that our navy is very weak and can't fight these coastal defense artillery at all. (In this era, our warships were very backward, and most of them were small gunboats, which could not compete with large-caliber coastal defense guns at all.) The old man stopped and knocked on the table to raise his objection.

Ha ha, in fact, I have thought of this problem a long time ago, and I have solved it.This is why I said before that the battle should be resolved quickly and quickly.Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

Solved it long ago?Lei Zhan frowned.

Yes, it has been resolved long ago.Jiang Chen smiled and replied, "Do you still remember the previous series of exercises?"

At this time, Lei Zhan suddenly realized: "You mean, the comprehensive amphibious and island-seizing exercise between you and the Naval Special Operations Brigade before, no wonder you chose to conduct it in the southern waters for so long."

Hehe, I didn't think about this at first, I just want our troops to adapt to the island combat training in the tropical marine environment.And this time I also suddenly thought of using special forces to infiltrate and facilitate our landing on the island.Even some islands only need to send special operations teams to go. In this regard, they have a very big advantage.And in the future defense process, special forces can also participate in this process, and its main magic city is to defend against the "water ghost" special forces that deal with the Nanban.Of course, I am also somewhat selfish.Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "After all the sea area is recovered, I will apply to establish a tropical combat training base here, specially to train special forces personnel to produce combat, diving, swimming, survival and other subjects skills on islands in the tropical sea. "

Hahahaha,,, Lei Zhan clicked Jiang Chen and laughed loudly: "I'll just say, you are the one who has nothing to gain, how can you be so enthusiastic, so you are here waiting for us. Don't worry. , as long as this piece of sea area is recovered, I will help you."

real?Jiang Chen's eyes brightened and he said excitedly.

When did your grandfather lie to you?Lei Zhan said dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen showed a resentful expression and said, "Aren't you lying to me too often?"

Lei Zhan was full of embarrassment, but he quickly demonstrated his anger and said, "Get lost!"
