Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 156 Fatal Weakness
"Chief of Staff Chen said that Division E won its first battle in the Niutauling area—"

Solemnly synchronized the screen of the laptop to the computer in the small conference room, and soon, a map of the battlefield situation appeared on the screen.

He picked up the electric pen, walked to the screen, and drew a blue circle on a position on the map.

"This is the security position set up by the Blue Army in the Niutouling area. The strength is a battalion of the 113th Brigade, and a fire support position is set up 10 kilometers behind it. This information is detected by the drone unit of the E Division's reconnaissance battalion. get……"

He called up a picture-in-picture, which was a bird's-eye view of the Niutauling area, which was obviously taken by a drone at high altitude.

From the screen, we can see that there are some camouflage nets covering things on the ground. Although there are not many of them, it can be seen that there are things covered underneath.

Niutauling is the frontier of the blue army's defense area, and Niutauling is an important position to guard the nearby traffic arteries. From a tactical point of view, it is reasonable to set up a warning position here.

The chiefs of the G military region stared at the screen, as if they didn't see any problems.

UAV reconnaissance is also a common method on the battlefield.

It is more intuitive and clearer than satellite reconnaissance.

"Has Division E sent a ground reconnaissance team to verify?"

Commander Xu of the G Military Region asked.

As a senior general, he is well aware that positions also have military camouflage.

Although the current technology is very advanced, there are still some things that machines cannot replace humans.

Especially for the blue army, the reconnaissance time is relatively short. If it relies on satellites or drones for reconnaissance, it must stare for a long time, compare the pictures before and after, and compare the pictures before and after the blue army enters the Niutauling position to distinguish the authenticity.

Therefore, a drone reconnaissance alone cannot be used as a reference for issuing orders.

Especially this time, the blue army opposite the E division is the two brigade-level units that were first reorganized into synthetic troops.

They are all selected from the best establishment, the former trump card.

Zhuang Yan certainly understood what Commander Xu meant, and immediately said, "Of course there is. I believe Chief of Staff Feng will not ignore this kind of mistake."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "They did send a ground reconnaissance team to conduct on-the-spot observations, and the information they sent back also confirmed the existence of a Blue Army synthetic unit in Niutuling. Therefore, Division E made a very bold decision. In this regard, I think Division E has made progress. Oh, yes, when I say progress, I mean compared to the tactical level when I confronted my coyote army on the prairie.”

While talking, he called up another battlefield situation map.

"This picture is a picture of the battlefield situation sent back at 12 am on the 7th."

He took a pen and drew two long arrows on the left and right wings of Niudou Ridge.

"At about 7 o'clock, the E division adopted the tactics of feinting in front, but in fact the left and right wings quickly maneuvered and interspersed with outflanking tactics, intending to take Niutauling in one fell swoop..."

"and many more."

The solemn discourse is interrupted here.

It was Shao Xianyong, deputy commander of the military region, who interrupted him.

"What time did you say Division E launched the attack?"

"Seven o'clock in the morning." Said solemnly.

Shao Xianyong frowned involuntarily: "I remember that the total attack time for this exercise was 8 o'clock, why did they start at 7 o'clock?"

"Soldiers never tire of deceit." Zhuang Yan smiled: "This is the experience I learned on the prairie. Wars never say a good time, nor can they determine the location. Tactics are especially sudden. Throughout military history, raids and surprise attacks have also It's not something uncommon."

Shao Xianyong suddenly realized.

Back then, Division E went to the prairie to participate in the red-blue confrontation, and suffered losses at the hands of the prairie wolf army where Zhuang Yan was.

Wang Xinjun and Feng Huaijin must have fresh memories of this. This time, they heard that Zhuang Yan had returned to the director department of the military region. He was afraid that he was directing the blue army, so they simply came here.

"Surprise." Commander Xu said: "Soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. No problem."

Zhuang Yan said: "The problem is that there is no problem, it's just that Division E made a mistake."

This remark once again aroused the surprise of the chiefs of the G military region, including the D group army.

Chen Shouzheng felt uncomfortable when Zhuang Yan described E Division's good start victory as a defeat, and reminded him: "E Division did win the battle in one fell swoop. battle."

Zhuang Yan said: "I have a basis for saying this. I would like to ask, before the E Division attacked, did it conduct an effective assessment of the commanders of the two brigades in front of it? Did it collect their main commanders' personalities, Behavior, tactics, and other characteristics? The combat performance of a unit is actually the embodiment of the character, will, and tactical level of their commander. It is very useful and necessary to analyze the enemy commander. It is an essential part of battlefield intelligence gathering. If Division E’s Commander Wang and Chief of Staff Feng had done the investigation, they might not have rushed in and attacked Niutouling easily. It is not a piece of fat, but a piece of poisonous bait.”

Shao Xianyong seemed to have heard some clues, and raised his hand to signal Zhuang Yan: "Okay, you continue."

Zhuang Yan said: "The brigade commander of the 113th brigade is a deputy division commander of the former ace division of the military area. His name is Song Yiming. I know this person and have fought against him. He graduated from a certain armored army academy. He is very good at the application of armor tactics. Surrounded by mountains, if I were Song Yiming, I wouldn't want to fight to the death with the E division of the motorcycle system on this kind of mountain."

"So, when I received the first briefing on the battlefield, I had a feeling that something was wrong. Then I looked at the map and understood Song Yiming's combat intention. Combined with another brigade of the Blue Army this time, the 32nd Air Assault Brigade , and his brigade commander, I understand what they are going to do."

After speaking, another map was called up.

This time, Zhuang Yan directly drew a blue circle on a relatively flat area behind Niutou Ridge.

"Here, this is where Song Yiming will fight to the death with Division E."

This time, Commander Xu, Shao Xianyong and others couldn't sit still anymore, they stood up directly, walked to the big screen, and stared at the hoop.

"Wolf Valley area?"

Solemnly said: "That's right."

He picked up the electric pen and drew several arrows and circles on the screen.

"Xu Xingguo, the brigade commander of the 32nd Air Assault Brigade, and I are old comrades-in-arms, and I know his thinking mode clearly. He once served in the special forces, and also studied infantry command at the Army Command Academy. After the military reform, he served as the brigade commander of the Air Assault Brigade. , taking into account his experience and resume. This person has a stable and fierce combat style, tenacious and daring, but his weakness is suspicion. Therefore, I made a preliminary judgment based on his and Song Yiming's combat styles—"

He tapped on the screen and said to the senior generals in front of him: "The Jue Lang Valley is about 130 kilometers away from Niutou Ridge. If I were Song Yiming, I would put my headquarters in the Jue Lang Valley, and pass the signal frequency, The army’s trajectory, troop deployment, etc. intentionally or unintentionally released false information to the E Division of the red side, letting them know that the headquarters is in the Valley of the Wolf.”

"From a military point of view, if Niutouling is captured, Jue Lang Valley will be safe to defend. E Division can completely attack Jue Lang Valley with a full force and wipe out Song Yiming. Xu Xingguo's air assault brigade is a lightly armed brigade. The combined 113th brigade, relying on the armor strength of the E division, has a great chance of winning against a 32nd air assault brigade attacking the ground."

Chen Shouzheng couldn't help but asked again: "This kind of tactic is not a problem at all...it's just..."

Smiling solemnly, he said: "It's just that Division E didn't expect that there was a false position above Niutou Ridge. They attacked it very smoothly, and the battle ended in less than 10 minutes, right? Unfortunately, this is just a bait. When E The division captured Niutou Ridge, that is, it has already bit the hook."

"I think Chief of Staff Chen knows what happened later. The E Division immediately made a troop march along the highway to the east side of the Valley of Unrequited Love, all the way through the canyon, and relied on the tracked armored troops to go through the valley and go around to the west of the Valley of the Absolute Wolf. On the other side, continue to launch a pincer offensive to encircle Jue Lang Valley, trying to eat Song Yiming's headquarters."

"Originally, it was a good move to launch a general attack early. Unfortunately, the commanders of Division E used the wrong place and overestimated their joint combat capabilities. When they captured Niutauling, a surprising thing happened. The unexpected episode also fully exposed the fatal shortcomings of traditional division-level combat units..."

"What fatal flaw?" Shao Xianyong's brows were full of doubts. He knew that the lunatic Zhuang in front of him was not only sharp-tongued, but also a ruthless character in military command. He had been the chief of staff of the Prairie Wolf Army all these years and abused the entire army. I don't know how many Red Army troops there are.

Solemnly said: "The helicopter unit and the air support unit of the E division are all temporarily assigned, one is deployed from the group army, and the other is a certain brigade of the air force. This has a fatal problem, because the early attack is a temporary decision. Yes, so the original coordinated combat plan studied by the three parties has been disrupted. The tactical arrangement is like a chain, one link changes, and the other changes. They will definitely notify the helicopters and air force of the Army Aviation that there is a change in the plan. The original plan It was temporarily canceled and the new plan was moved forward by half an hour. At that time, I guess that Division E did not know that their attack would be so smooth. They occupied the high ground in 10 minutes, which greatly exceeded their original thought that they would have to attack for at least two hours to take Niutauling. As a result, the entire Niutou Ridge is full of people from Division E. The Air Force was supposed to fly to the area to provide some fire support, but they were notified that the bombing would be cancelled. , the communication between Division E, Army Aviation, and Air Force was completely messed up, and the plan changed again. At the same time, the blue army had already deployed long-distance fire in the direction of Juelang Valley to cover Niutauling, and the Red Army would either stay in Niutauling and be bombed To become slag, or send the air force to bomb the Valley of the Wolf, but the intelligence on the Valley of the Wolf is unknown, the location of the enemy's air defense equipment and remote fire equipment is unknown, and the battle plan has been changed twice. There is no way to make adjustments in a short period of time to support, which leads to the only one way for E Division, which is to send the main force to attack in the direction of Juelang Valley, and reconnaissance while fighting, but in this way, they will completely It's on..."

Commander Xu pondered for a moment, and saw some clues.

"Well, this is probably the reason why Master E lost everything later on and lost everything..."

Solemnly said: "As I said just now, the good show doesn't stop at the Valley of the Absolute Wolf, where the 113th Brigade performed, and the actions of the 32nd Air Assault Brigade later confirmed what I predicted for my old comrades in arms. The show just started..."
