Chapter 247 The team leader specially invites you to discuss tactics!
The military district's order has been officially issued, and the 702nd Regiment must execute it as quickly as possible.
The strength of the opponent is not a consideration.
There is only one thing you can do, and that is to be extremely alert and not be careless at all, and to defeat your opponent with the force of a tiger pouncing on a rabbit.
The military district issued the order on the 28th, which was five days away from May 3rd.
Moving an entire group is not a trivial matter. It requires sufficient preparation of various supplies. It is not like one person can just go wherever he wants.
Five days is neither long nor short.
With the concerted efforts of the 702nd Regiment, all preparations were finally completed on the afternoon of May 2nd.
After a night of full rest and adjustment, the 702nd Regiment, which was ready for action at any time, assembled at nine o'clock in the morning of May 3rd and began to march on time.
The whole group moved towards the designated direction.
Two hundred kilometers is not considered a long-distance raid for armored forces.
However, for logistical supplies, a mechanized infantry regiment composed entirely of armored vehicles is definitely a big challenge.
It can be said that the tanker trucks are either refueling or on the way to refuel.
strictly speaking.
The confrontation exercise began from the moment the 702nd Regiment left the base.
Because a 200-kilometer march of the entire regiment is already testing a mechanized infantry regiment's mechanized long-range combat capabilities.
Hundreds of armored vehicles and other supporting vehicles rumbled across the Loess Plateau.
What a spectacular scene!
The bare yellow earth without any vegetation was crushed by tank tracks and car tires, and the dust raised by them floated into the air.
The stretch of more than 2 kilometers has turned into a giant loess dragon.
Due to the rugged terrain of the Loess Plateau, the convoy was not traveling very fast, with an average overall speed of only 20 to 30 kilometers.
In order to ensure the order of the entire regiment's movement, the entire regiment was divided into camps based on battalions.
And it is a battle formation.
Treat this march as a war and train the whole regiment's ability to march and fight.
The first battalion is responsible for leading the charge in the front, while the combined battalion follows closely behind to maneuver and protect the regimental headquarters, which is the core of the team.
The second and third battalions followed in succession, serving as the reserve force and rearguard of the entire regiment.
The 702nd Regiment hasn't had such a long-distance movement for a long time. The last time the entire regiment participated in an exercise, it took the train, and the people and the vehicles were separated.
This time, everyone drove to the "battlefield" to experience this long-lost long-distance raid by people and vehicles.
The soldiers' buttocks were numb from the shaking, their noses and mouths were full of yellow dirt, and they couldn't help but spit when they opened their mouths, but their mood was not affected.
Even everyone was full of passion and looking forward to the next confrontation.
Although combat operations in regimental-level confrontation exercises are very arduous, they also provide an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
A soldier's duty is to obey orders and his life is to take honor.
Everyone will naturally be happy and actively strive for the opportunity to be awarded and to showcase their talents and abilities.
What's more, in the last confrontation exercise, many soldiers were awarded third-class merit and second-class collective merit.
Under the situation of large-scale military downsizing caused by information reform, these soldiers who were supposed to be demobilized and return home completely changed their fate.
Among them, Lao Ma is a typical representative!
He was originally forced to retire, but he was successfully promoted to fourth-grade non-commissioned officer.
Under this unique situation and demand, the value of this confrontation exercise is enhanced.
A soldier with relatively weak personal abilities and no outstanding performance in his resume wants to take this opportunity to change his military life.
And warriors who are strong enough would like to take this opportunity to move forward a few steps.
This situation applies not only to the soldiers below, but also to the vast majority of officers and cadres, not just at the company and battalion levels, but even to the cadres in the regiment headquarters.
Everyone wants to demonstrate their value and achieve a breakthrough in this confrontation exercise.
The most important point...
This exercise involved a more powerful combined battalion and the so-far undefeated "genius" Chen Jun, which filled the entire 702nd Regiment with confidence.
Everyone has absolute confidence in victory, so they will naturally start to consider their own needs.
Now that everyone has needs, and they are all urgent needs, the overall morale is naturally high and full of fighting passion.
Compared with the soldiers and grassroots cadres below, they are extremely optimistic about this exercise.
I firmly believe that when the 702nd Regiment only had a combined company, it could force a tie with the Old A Blue Army in an exercise, while the 384th Regiment lost to the Old A Blue Army.
Now that the 701st Regiment has an upgraded combined battalion, how could it fail to defeat the 384th Regiment?
Team leader Wang Qingrui was not so optimistic.
As the regiment commander, he was very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of his own troops, namely the Armored Infantry Regiment. He was even more aware that the victory over Old A was largely due to Chen Jun's strategy.
Captain Wang knows the 384th Armored Infantry Regiment very well, and the opposing 384th Regiment will also know the 702nd Regiment very well.
When both parties understand each other.
It will be extremely difficult to trick the other party into falling into a trap.
This also means that the confrontation with the 384th Regiment will inevitably be more difficult than the confrontation with Old A. One careless mistake could lead to a complete loss.
You must rely on hard power to defeat the opponent.
After all, Old A does not have the steel torrent impact and the ability to end the battle with one blow. The 384th Regiment, as a heavy infantry regiment, has this explosive capability.
In addition, Area 74 of this exercise is the territory of the 384th Regiment.
They usually train in that area and have the natural advantage of being more familiar with the terrain. They were already superior to the 702nd Regiment before the exercise even started.
Even though he knew that this was unfair, Captain Wang had no way to complain and could only accept this passive situation.
because.
The 702nd Regiment has an advanced combined battalion, which is also unfair to the 384th Regiment. They have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, which can only be said to have leveled the two sides.
The advantages of the 384th Regiment are natural and there will be no variables no matter what.
But the advantage of the combined battalion still needs to be operated by yourself. Subsequent operations will determine the size of this advantage, and there are many variables involved.
This forced Captain Wang to be more cautious to avoid an accidental capsize.
The 384th Regiment has the advantage of being familiar with the terrain. If they really get the chance, they will definitely have a chance to wipe out the 702nd Regiment in one wave.
In order to prevent an unexpected kill from the opponent, Captain Wang specially called Chen Jun over and asked him to take a car.
During the half day of marching to Area 74 for assembly, I discussed the acceptance confrontation with Chen Jun.
After the two men discussed the pros and cons of both sides, Captain Wang directly asked Chen Jun about his core views.
"Xiao Chen, in this confrontation exercise, do you think a certain style of play is better? Or, have you designed a suitable confrontation plan in advance?"
The last confrontation with Old A was entirely based on Chen Jun's battle plan, which gave Captain Wang a very high degree of trust in Chen Jun's tactics.
The name was changed from Chen Jun to Xiao Chen. This more intimate-sounding name also shows that Captain Wang treats Chen Jun as one of his own.
The two of them were sitting in the car. It was not a formal occasion, but a private chat.
Calling someone more intimately will create a better chat atmosphere.
"Captain, the other side is also an armored infantry regiment. Both sides know each other well. In this situation where the cards are almost exposed, which side has the more sophisticated tactics will definitely determine the final outcome."
Chen Jun first briefly explained the key situation, and then responded to Captain Wang: "Based on the situation of both sides, I can think of two sets of tactics.
One set is a strategic game strategy of winning in a stable manner, and the other is an aggressive strategy of taking advantage of the situation.
The two fighting styles each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the styles are completely different. I wonder which fighting style you prefer, Captain."
Chen Jun is confident in both sets of playing styles, but it is up to the team leader to decide which one to use.
"Haha, it has to be you, Xiao Chen. The General Staff is completely in the dark right now and can't come up with anything, but you've come up with two different strategies. I think you're more suitable for the position of Chief of Staff of this regiment."
Captain Wang first praised Chen Jun, causing Chen Jun to quickly wave his hands and say modestly: "No, no, I'm just being clever."
There is still eighteen streets between the company commander and the regiment chief of staff.
Chen Jun didn't dare to accept such praise.
"You are so modest, haha."
Captain Wang pointed his finger at Chen Jun and smiled. He liked Chen Jun's attitude towards life and returned to the topic, "Are both of your two fighting styles created by someone? Tell me about them first and I'll make a decision."
"Then I will first talk about the game strategy..."
The tactical play plan had already been in Chen Jun's mind, so he could speak of it fluently.
The two sets of tactics that Chen Jun mentioned actually originated from the flexible application of the three basic offensive tactics he taught to the combined battalion in the third phase.
There are only a few contract tactics in the combined camp, and you must use them when inspecting your opponent, which is so important.
The tactics can only be applied from this perspective.
As the actual commander of the combined battalion, Chen Jun, and since this acceptance is aimed at the combined battalion, the core value of the combined battalion must be reflected.
Therefore, the tactics used by the combined battalion will inevitably guide the tactics of the entire regiment.
That is to say...
The 702nd Regiment has four battalions with more than a thousand people. They must and can only fight around the combined battalion, with the combined battalion as the core to win the confrontation.
What Chen Jun mentioned as a steady game of tactics is to let the combined battalion use breakthrough tactics to attack.
The breakthrough tactic is inclined towards traditional combat. Its core advantage lies in that it is more stable. It needs to break through the enemy from the front, open a breakthrough in the enemy line, and then disintegrate the enemy step by step.
This style of attack that relies on frontal suppression has very obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that you need to compete with the enemy in wits and courage, and engage in various tactical games of all sizes, and advance steadily step by step, in order to win in the end.
The process will definitely be very time-consuming, and even if you win in the end, the data won’t look good.
A strong attack will definitely not result in a good casualty ratio!
The advantage is to advance step by step. As long as your strength is really stronger than that of the opponent, there will basically be no possibility of any accidents.
Can ensure victory to the greatest extent possible.
Radical tactics are the exact opposite of breakthrough tactics. The main tactic is to achieve victory by surprise. The combined battalion will use roundabout tactics.
That is to say, let the combined battalion rush into the enemy's rear and turn the enemy's rear upside down.
Once the enemy's rear is completely disrupted, there will be no way to defend the front line, and even the defensive capabilities will plummet.
As long as they find a suitable opportunity, the front-line troops of the 702nd Regiment will attack on all fronts.
It's easy to defeat your opponent!
The advantage of this tactic is that as long as the plan is successful, the enemy can be defeated at a relatively small cost.
The post-war data will look great, it is definitely a classic battle.
The disadvantage is that you are walking on the edge of a knife. Every step is very dangerous and you may fall into the abyss if you are not careful. It is an extreme test for the commander behind enemy lines.
The two styles of play are clearly distinct, with advantages and disadvantages being obvious.
After listening to this, Captain Wang was truly amazed. He was once again amazed at Chen Jun's command ability and was very interested in both sets of tactics.
Captain Wang was particularly attracted by the radical tactical style of play.
Captain Wang was certainly no stranger to this kind of guerrilla-like fighting style, but his impression of this kind of fighting style was that it involved small groups of troops fighting.
He had never heard of sending an entire battalion behind enemy lines.
This idea is really bold.
You have to know that this is not an airborne battalion, but a mechanized combined battalion with fully armored vehicles. It is dozens of times more difficult to break into it on the ground than in the air.
Captain Wang fully believed that only Chen Jun could think of it.
Only he dared to think.
Even if some people have thought about it, they simply do not have the ability to execute it.
After all, the tactics and fighting styles of this era are still limited to the traditional tactics passed down from World War II. Chen Jun's tactics, which have been overused in later generations, are the ultimate weapon in this era, and he is the first to try it.
This is like the launch of Bitcoin in 2008, when dozens of them couldn’t buy a hamburger.
No one could have imagined that in less than ten years, the price of Bitcoin would suddenly increase by hundreds of thousands of times, becoming a terrifying existence worth tens of thousands of dollars per bitcoin.
This is the huge difference that time brings!
However, although Captain Wang was tempted by radical tactics, he was also concerned about the drawbacks of this tactic and worried that it would be like using a weakling to attack a dog.
If a battalion breaks into an enemy regiment and makes a mistake, it will be swallowed up by the enemy.
A regiment surrounded and devoured a battalion.
Don’t be too simple-minded.
What's more, Chen Jun had no actual combat experience, and the combined battalion fought so aggressively in its first appearance, the possibility of failure was too high.
So after careful consideration, Captain Wang finally gave up the tactic he had in mind.
As a senior veteran, Captain Wang knows it very well.
There is a price to pay for being moved!
"The core of this exercise is acceptance. Our primary task is to ensure that the combined battalion passes the acceptance. I think we should be cautious. I appreciate the radical tactics, but I think it is more appropriate to use them as a backup."
Captain Wang made the decision with a serious expression and directly stated, “When we reach the assembly point No. 74, I will hold a pre-war meeting of the regiment.
At that time, Xiao Chen, you will be the main speaker and explain the game tactics in detail to everyone. In this confrontation exercise, he will be used for the offensive plan. "
"Okay, Captain."
Although Chen Jun felt a little regretful, he also knew that he had to focus on the overall situation now. Winning by maintaining stability would indeed be more conducive to passing the acceptance, so he readily agreed.
