The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Having been in China for such a long time, the two German generals have fully understood the Chinese custom of saving face, as well as certain taboos that must not be touched by Chiang Kai-shek. can't be discouraged

On the sand table, there were almost no command adjustments made by Zhu Bin on his own initiative, but all kinds of action changes fed back from the front by the referees of the director department. Surprised, many people even thought that this was simply a performance show Zhu Bin's task force, cooperating with the teaching team to carry out a scripted drama

This is ridiculous. The two sides used nearly 2 soldiers, dozens of fighter planes, more than a dozen warships, tanks, artillery and armored vehicles. The huge battlefield spanned hundreds of kilometers, and even specially prepared a series of warships. The money spent on expensive exercise equipment is enough for them to arm a few divisions. It is a foolish joke to act at such a price for the whole world to see.

The Chinese are neither rich nor stupid to that extent, so this guess cannot be established

The people in the room are not amateurs, and the whole exercise will last for three days or more, they have enough time to judge everything, just wait patiently

Just when Gui Yongqing issued a detailed command order in almost a minute, instructing the commanding units in front of the corps to act as stiffly as puppets on a string, the task force finally saw the movement. They first brushed the four transport planes Put on the paint logo of China Airlines, and then carry four fully armed reconnaissance teams, and drop them directly to the periphery of the exercise field

"Nonsense" Lao Jiang almost ran away. This is a drill, how can he do it like this?Pretending to be a civil aviation company to drop paratroopers, how shameless to wait for the parachute?

Lao Jiang had heard that all of Zhu Bin's subordinates were capable of parachute jumping, but he didn't believe it. Not to mention anything else, the strength of two regiments, even if only half of them were infantry, would require three battalions of two to three thousand men. How much time does it take to learn skydiving?The transport plane is busy all day long... It seems that their Zhoushan Airport is really busy

Taking a ten thousand step back, the real parachute is not so easy to succeed, not to mention the large population of transport planes in China is so dense, they will be easily found wherever they jump off, once they are trapped, they are just looking for death. Even fighter jets can't handle it, parachute landing of large transport planes is a fantasy

But Zhu Bin actually figured it out, and the scouts parachuted?What is he going to do?

Needless to say, someone immediately went to Zhu Bin to ask about the situation, and then came back to report: "According to the requirements of the director department, everything starts from actual combat. We believe that in a real war, as long as we can get ahead of the enemy, we must flexibly use our enemy. Pretend to create incidents and investigate intelligence, so this kind of practice is normal”

It's hard for Lao Jiang to say anything more, because the foreign observers in the room stared at the fake parachute, and immediately asked Yu Baoguo, the representative of the task force who was here to explain the liaison. With the temperament of an army school background, he is proficient in using English, French and German to answer all kinds of questions. As long as the military secrets are not too exposed, the answers are appropriate and sufficient.

Colonel Grant of the U.S. Navy exclaimed with great interest: "This is a very imaginative combat operation. It falls from the sky when it is difficult for the enemy to detect and block, and establishes multiple reconnaissance posts that go deep behind the enemy's rear, and can even launch small-scale attacks." Raids and sabotage operations, such as yours to seize a key bridge, create accidents and delay enemy reinforcements, can have a huge positive effect”

The Americans are rich and powerful. Although the economy is in a downturn, the navy's procurement has never stopped, especially the aviation force. Over the past few years, there have been hundreds of aircraft tenders. Zhu Bin, Douglas and Curtiss cooperated Many models have been successfully selected, and now it covers fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, water patrol aircraft, medium transport aircraft, etc., and orders are full

At the same time, because of the naval escort cooperation project, the U.S. Navy has brought tens of millions of extra income, which makes a bunch of guys so happy that their mouths are crooked. That is quite pleasant.

Therefore, it is normal to take the opportunity to say a few more good words

General Falkenhausen also nodded in agreement: "If you can concentrate a large number of airborne troops, suddenly launch a large-scale airborne operation, and break through the enemy's strategic goals in one fell swoop, such as controlling a city center or a bridge or warehouse, it will have an impact on the battle situation. The important role has to be said, the combat plan of the task force is very bold"

The room was full of people talking about it. This is the beginning of the exercise, which made their eyes shine. It is worth looking forward to how many surprises there will be in the future.

Lao Jiang heard their arguments in his ears. Most of them don't understand foreign languages, but the foreign language adjutants are very honest in translating them. The more he listens, the more worried he is for Gui Yongqing. The first move is out of their plan.

Gui Yongqing did exactly what he was told. The designated exercise plan was personally approved by Lao Jiang, and the air defense was mentioned emphatically in it, but he didn't think much about the opponent's disguised infiltration. Someone mentioned it, and Zhu Bin had A large number of transport planes, possibly airborne, was rejected after some analysis. Unless they can airborne one regiment or one heavy battalion at a time, they will fall into the ocean of the people's war and die

Besides, the design scene of the battle is inland, as long as any plane takes off from the coast, it will be found without suddenness. Isn't their airborne suicide suicide?

It can be disguised as civil aviation... Now there are countless civil aviation planes all over the country, most of them are domestically produced DC2, and they all look the same except for the different paintwork. The enemy plane is coming from the southeast coast, but he wants to make a big circle?Who will notice the scattered civil aviation planes coming from Ningbo, Shanghai or distant places?

Sad reminder

The feedback from the referee team was indeed the same. Gui Yongqing had no idea that the other party would do this. After a long time, there was no report of any airborne soldiers being found. Not long after, four shocking nails were marked on the sand table. Four groups of airborne reconnaissance The team all successfully entered the predetermined location

Lao Jiang had a vague feeling that Zhu Bin was actively cooperating on the surface, and he was a moth when he came up. Maybe there is some trick behind him? Xiaogui, you must fight for my father

Look at the sand table, as soon as Gui Yongqing came up, he mobilized all his forces like a thunderbolt, and successfully built the Wufu defense line to block the enemy's land attack. Build multiple defense fronts. At this time, assuming that the Songhu defense line in front is gone, it is an ideal state to seize the opportunity before the arrival of the enemy to enter and build a position.

In addition, another team has already stationed in the Jiangyin Fortress, stationing the Huangshan Frog Fort on the river bank and the east and west forts on the opposite bank. The six 305mm fortress guns purchased should be strong enough to defend. The amphibious landing ships of the Special Service Fleet may not dare to approach the two types of cannons. They all have a range of more than 150 kilometers. Facing the narrow river, there is nowhere to hide of

It seems... there shouldn't be much problem?

"You can't take it for granted when you're in a war. If you don't calculate everything clearly in advance, if you just rely on the commander's wishful thinking and think it can be done, then there won't be so many irreversible low-level mistakes in the world."

In the headquarters of the Blue Army, Zhu Bin crossed his legs, shamelessly eavesdropped on all kinds of discussions in the opposition and director department, opened his mouth and showed a sarcasm smile, and directed at the chief of staff Hu Yibo who was leaning over on the small sand table, hehe straight music

Hu Yibo was not as relaxed as he was. He dutifully listened to the reports on the movements of various lines at any time, and after restoring it on the sand table, he marked the news from the reconnaissance team one by one.

After the four teams landed, they quickly dispersed and all changed into the costumes of the teaching corps. They each went around to investigate Changshu, Jiangyin, Wuxi and Zhenjiang. The topography of the water town fluctuates from east to west. There is a serious lack of communication tools and the teaching corps is busy seizing the line of defense. The teaching corps is busy patrolling the long river defense. It is impossible to imagine that four waves of monkeys have already got into their stomachs.

Seeing that all the deployments of the red side were marked, Hu Yibo also sighed secretly. This is still teaching the corps. Wars are so rigid and dogmatic, and their own homeland defense operations are full of loopholes. I really don't know if they are facing the Japanese army or What would the German army do? Such a line of defense can't stop people at all.

It's no wonder that they failed in succession in their battle against bandits. The commander kept gesticulating and ordering in the rear.The enemy facing the people in the front is different from what you know behind. You haven’t fought yet, and you are all exhausted. When the army is under pressure, is your mind at a loss?

No wonder Zhu Bin can't lift his spirits, this one is enough, so many countermeasures of the staff are useless. Against such an opponent, you can almost follow the path you need, and lose the advantage of numbers. I'm afraid they won't be able to fight this battle

Just when Zhu Bin thought that half a day would be boring, he was suddenly stimulated by a piece of news and called out: "Hey? Some of these guys are sober-minded, and they actually discovered two fake freighters?"

Twenty minutes ago, on the Changshan position outside the Jiangyin Fortress, more than a hundred soldiers from the 10rd Battalion and 1st Company of the Teaching Corps, driven by the two commanders and deputy company commanders, rushed up the hill facing the Yangtze River and began to build a position

The company commander Zhang Yansong took off the heavy steel helmet and held it in his hand. He casually wiped his sweat with his sleeve, panting heavily, and shouted, "Master, why did he send us such a bad job? Digging ditches and building fortifications!" , what year is it still doing this? People's ships are bombarding them, and all fortifications have to be shut down."

Sima Jinming held a large binoculars in his hand, kept scanning the river, and said with a faint evil smile: "You can stop talking nonsense. In this kind of position, the artillery of the battleship doesn't necessarily take advantage, but you can deal with it from the frontal position." That’s enough, the focus is on the artillery positions on the anti-slope. Our task is not to engage in combat. Being able to detect the enemy’s situation in time is a great achievement.”

"Impossible unless their brains are broken, otherwise they will come up against the heavy artillery of the fortress, wouldn't they be courting death?" Zhang Yansong disagreed

Sima Jinming shook his head: "Don't underestimate the opponent. They have too many methods that we are not familiar with. Let alone other things. From the Yangtze River Estuary to the river beach here, they have too many places to land. What do you think? Where can I stop their chariot raid?"

Zhang Yansong shook his head like a wave drum: "That's pure nonsense. We gathered a heavy artillery company. It is said that their cannons have caught up with a regiment. Even if they can't pull them all, it will be enough to drink a pot. Anyway, they are attacking!" , we are defending."

Sima Jinming raised the corners of his lips and did not talk to him. He looked at the river and suddenly his smile froze. He suddenly took away the binoculars and squinted to look at the river. Suddenly he pointed to two large freighters that were less than one kilometer apart: "Pay attention to the problem with those two freighters"

"Freighter, what's so weird about running around on the river all day long?" Zhang Yansong took the binoculars and looked at it twice. He couldn't see anything wrong, but he was full of praise for the guy in his hand, "Oh, I say you Boy, if you are willing to buy a big guy with 40 times the cost, it’s not too heavy, it’s still a product of Haizhuang Institute, it’s a lot of fun.”

Sima Jinming grabbed it seriously, and said sharply: "You nainai cheer up, those are two seagoing ships, and many things on the upper deck are different, there are things covering the bow and the back, don't forget Yes, the task force was started by using armed freighters to seduce the Japanese Navy."

"I just forgot about this, yes, yes, why did the ocean liner run into the Yangtze River waterway when they have nothing to do? Aren't they afraid of bottoming out? If this is their armed freighter... what the hell, two ships so big , a group transported up is easy and comfortable, if it docks from the upper reaches, we will all have to be dumped and quickly call the fort to sink it."

Zhang Yansong jumped up anxiously and was about to report to the battalion at the back. Sima Jinming grabbed him: "I just suspect that the identity of the other party is unknown, so you can't shoot casually. Let someone stop and investigate, anyway, the First Fleet also has them." Jiang Fang cooperates with us"

"Hey, that's okay, as long as you find the enemy army, it's a great achievement!" Zhang Yansong grinned and giggled

Sima Jinming smiled slightly, and continued to observe the freighter, but in just 2 minutes, the two big guys suddenly lost weight, turned around and walked back

Sima Jinming was startled again, jumped up and shouted: "It's not good that there are their investigators around here!" Hurry up and order people to catch up with Zhang Yansong to report, and at the same time order to strengthen the vigilance, and start a full-fledged search for more than half an hour. , not even a ghost

Zhang Yansong asked suspiciously: "Are you a little nervous? Let's arrange at least one battalion along the way. How can they have a chance to investigate? How long will it take to start the drill?"

But Sima Jinming sighed: "I'm afraid I will be very aggrieved by defeat this time." (To be continued)
