Chapter 355: I can't even copy it clearly? ?
The Russians in the Red Army's General Command originally wanted to let the 7th Steel Battalion take the lead, so as to consume the 7th Steel Battalion's manpower and find out the details of the Blue Army.
When the battle between the 7th Steel Battalion and the Blue Army is almost over, they will send more troops to take advantage of the situation.
Perfectly achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone!
As a result, the 7th Steel Battalion took the initiative, but easily resolved the battle without any chance for them to attack at all.
In the most anticipated first battle of the exercise, the limelight was completely stolen by the Chinese troops.
This made all the Mao troops in the Red Army General Command, from the commander-in-chief Dmitry to the Russian soldiers below, feel like there was a suffocation in their stomachs.
It's worse than accidentally eating shit!
Even though the 7th Steel Battalion belonged to the Red Army camp, and killing the Blue Army troops was equivalent to helping the Red Army, it did not dispel this feeling of frustration in the slightest.
"The Chinese troops have already won the battle. We can't be so passive any more, otherwise we won't be able to report to our superiors."
Dmitry originally wanted to reap the benefits, but the facts before him clearly told him that China's Seventh Steel Battalion could not be viewed with common sense.
If the beginning of the exercise was all about the Chinese performance, the Russian army would not make any movement for a long time.
Dmitri was 100% sure that no matter what the final outcome of this exercise was, as the commander-in-chief, something big would happen to him.
It is probably a big question whether he can still wear the hat of the group leader.
and so.
No matter what the current situation of the Red Army is and to what extent the intelligence information has been collected, Dmitry must do something quickly.
If they could capture a Blue Army position, it would be great if the Russian army could save face.
Even if they cannot capture a Blue Army position, the Red Army must show the power of the Russian Army and regain the leading role in this exercise.
We must never allow the Chinese troops to take over the show and become the absolute protagonist of this Russian military exercise.
The battalion and regiment-level cadres under the Red Army's main force were deeply shocked by the Chinese 7th Steel Battalion, and their ideas were the same as Dmitry's.
They couldn't suppress their restless and competitive hearts and were eager to perform well.
So after Dmitry's order was issued, the Red Army troops below quickly moved and launched an attack on the three Blue Army positions at the same time.
The three Blue Army positions chosen all had sufficient intelligence support and were considered easier to attack by the Red Army.
As for the source of this information.
It was not the intelligence discovered by the Red Army scouts, but the intelligence that Chen Jun sent deliberately in order to disgust the Russian soldiers.
At first, he was not trusted by the commander-in-chief Dmitry, who suspected that it was false information, but now he has become his only support.
have to say.
This is really a slap in the face.
Commander-in-chief Dmitry himself felt his face getting hot, but in order to regain the limelight that was snatched away by the 7th Steel Battalion, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't say it himself, no one will know that he used the intelligence of the 7th Steel Battalion.
The purpose of this attack launched by the Red Army was to regain the position of the protagonist of the exercise, so the offensive tactics were designed with special care.
On the surface, they launched an attack on three Red Army positions at the same time, but in fact only one route was really fought.
The other two routes are feint attacks.
Responsible for providing cover and attracting the attention of the Red Army.
He was also responsible for the main attack on this route of the Red Army. Dmitry also played a trick of "not being ashamed to ask questions". He did not say anything on the surface, but secretly learned from the 7th Steel Battalion.
They copied the tactics used by the 113th Steel Battalion to capture Hill , made some slight modifications, and then used them openly.
The modifications made are mainly for strengthening.
The five most elite companies of the Red Army were dispatched, including the 4th and 8th Companies of the Motorized Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Tiger Company of the Tank Regiment with the most combat experience, and two artillery companies.
A powerful joint combat battalion covering infantry, tanks and artillery was formed.
According to the battle report Dmitry received, the 7th Steel Battalion first used artillery bombing, then tank bombardment, and finally the infantry rushed up.
The Russian army is not that strong in equipment, so they make up for the disadvantage in equipment with numbers.
The 7th Steel Battalion had only one armored infantry company, so I would use two infantry companies to charge; the 7th Steel Battalion had only one heavy artillery company, so I would use two artillery companies to support it.
After all these modifications and additions, Dmitry felt that there was no problem.
Analyzing it according to traditional combat methods and taking into account the special mountain jungle terrain, after such adjustments, it seems to be the case.
After all, the combat effectiveness of mechanized troops will be greatly limited in the mountains and forests.
In addition, with the advantage of more troops, there are two other Red Army troops that can feint to attack the Blue Army's position to attract firepower for the main attacking force.
This is something that the 7th Steel Battalion could never do, as they were fighting alone and had no reinforcements.
therefore.
The Red Army commander-in-chief Dmitry was full of confidence, believing that this combat plan would definitely be able to capture the Blue Army's heights. The morale of the Red Army troops below was also high.
When the troops had just set out from the camp, the joint operations battalion responsible for the main attack was already preparing to celebrate.
More than 10 o'clock in the evening.
The three combat units sent by the Red Army arrived at their designated combat areas respectively.
The three troops did not attack in a straight line, but went to three areas separately in a planned manner, with the distance between them exceeding 3 kilometers.
The purpose is to make the Blue Army troops distracted after launching the attack and unable to dispatch troops to support in time.
10 points.
The main attack force remained motionless, and the Red Army troops responsible for the feint attack on the left and right sides took the lead and launched an attack on the two positions of the Blue Army at the same time.
Without the advance bombardment from heavy artillery units, the Blue Army on the high ground would have been given a good bath.
The Russian artillery regiment has no actual combat mechanization, the heavy artillery is not integrated into the chassis, and it does not have the ability to drive autonomously. It is basically still the traditional towed artillery.
Once the enemy finds the position of your artillery bombardment, it is easy for them to counterattack with their heavy artillery.
The Blue Army must have scouts infiltrating. The sound of heavy artillery firing is so loud that if there are Blue Army soldiers within a kilometer or two, they can follow the sound and find them.
The two troops were just making a feint attack to attract the Blue Army's attention, not actually attacking the high ground.
Naturally, there is no need to take the risk of placing important heavy artillery in dangerous areas. It is better to concentrate them all and use them for the next main attack force to launch an attack.
and so.
The fighting styles of the two Red Army units in the feint attack were basically the same.
It was still the old traditional tactics, with tanks in the front providing cover, and infantry following behind, circling around the high ground.
The infantry company's mortars and rocket launchers became the only heavy firepower for the attack.
In order to make the feint attack as realistic as possible, attract the attention of the Blue Army Headquarters and create better conditions for the main attack force.
Even though the two Red Army troops were only making a feint attack, the fighting was still quite fierce.
With the cover of tanks, they moved closer to the foot of the mountain, prepared to charge up the mountain, firing bullets without cost, making the scene very intense.
The Blues' defense was resolute and their resistance was unprecedentedly strong.
Ever since the Red Army broke through Hill 113 and completely penetrated the entire defense line and reached the center of the Blue Army, it has become a threat to the general headquarters.
Although the top leaders including the commander-in-chief Markov were deeply shocked by the failure of this defensive operation, after that period of depression, the top leaders of the Blue Army were extremely angry because of the humiliating tactics of the enemy.
Under the influence of the heated anger among the crowd, the Blues were determined to take back the situation.
Give the Red Army a severe lesson!
Therefore, in the next two or three hours, the Blue Army Headquarters issued a series of new orders and readjusted the entire defense line.
A large number of troops that were originally on standby in the rear were deployed to the front line to strengthen the defense.
If the Red Army launched an attack at this time, it would hit the Blue Army at its most angry, and would inevitably encounter the most fierce defense.
The Red Army troops responsible for the feint attack on both wings never expected to encounter this situation.
They also thought that the Chinese troops fought so easily and took down the Blue Army's position in just a few minutes. It was certain that the Chinese troops had some skills, but the Blue Army's defensive capabilities must have been very poor.
Now it is their turn to launch the attack. Even if they cannot break through the Blue Army's line as easily as the 7th Steel Battalion, if they attack a little more fiercely during the feint, nothing will go wrong.
Therefore, the Red Army troops on both wings who were feinting attacks tried to attack the high ground.
The result of this test...
That would be a serious sin!
The Blue Army, whose morale was high at the time, had received reinforcements in manpower and equipment. When they saw the Red Army attacking, they were like wolves with hungry eyes.
He didn't care about wasting ammunition at all, and seemed to only see the murderer of his father.
Bullets and shells were thrown around without any charge!
All the heavy and light machine guns were set up and fired crazily at the attacking Red Army, and the RPGs were swung like skyrocketing monkeys.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The free bombardment of bullets and artillery shells perfectly demonstrated the value of firepower above all else.
The Red Army had originally only received the mission of a feint attack, so they only needed to go to the periphery to take advantage of the situation. When they had enough fun, they could retreat and their mission would be completed.
But now, because of momentary greed, he went a little deeper, and the result was a huge tragedy.
Under the heavy bombardment of RPG shells, the Red Army tanks on both wings suffered heavy losses, and at least a quarter of the troops were lost.
The infantry who rushed towards the position through the woods suffered heavy losses under the heavy bombardment.
Only two-thirds were successfully withdrawn.
It was just a pretend show, and it would be a big deal if a few people were killed. The tanks were far away and could not be threatened.
But now the losses are so heavy that the feint attack is even more tragic than the failure of the frontal attack.
This made the commander-in-chief Dmitry very angry.
He contacted the battlefield directly through the radio station and scolded the commander in charge of the attack for two full minutes before he stopped.
The commanders of the two wings of the Red Army were actually even more depressed after being scolded.
"The Chinese troops fought so easily, killing the Blue Army was as easy as eating melons and cutting vegetables. Why is it that when it comes to us, the Blue Army on the opposite side is like taking drugs and beating us to death as soon as they meet?"
The two Red Army commanders couldn't figure it out, and the soldiers under them were even more confused.
There is only one thing I figured out.
That is the Blue Army’s high ground opposite, which is not so easy to take down.
After being severely beaten by the Highland Blue Army and scolded by the commander-in-chief, the Red Army troops on both wings became completely obedient.
The next attack was not to be arrogant at all, but to just stay on the periphery and pretend to attack.
Time passed unconsciously.
Half past one in the morning.
It has been three full hours since the Red Army troops on both wings launched the feint attack, and no less than ten attacks of varying sizes have been launched.
Commander-in-chief Dmitri felt that it was almost done and started the second step of the battle plan.
Give the order to the general offensive force to launch an attack!
The combined operations battalion set out with confidence that they would win. Along the way, everyone was so excited that their faces turned red, and they were eager to launch the attack three hours ago.
Now that they have been forced to wait for such a long time, they can no longer bear it.
Finally, the commander-in-chief issued an attack order. The temporary battalion commander of the joint operations battalion was so excited that he immediately organized his troops to start the attack.
Just follow the battle plan step by step, and let the two artillery companies bombard as hard as they can first.
After various artillery shells had been fired for a full five minutes, the tank company launched an attack on the position, with the infantry company following closely behind using the tanks as cover.
After the artillery bombed the tanks, they charged forward, and it seemed like there was no problem.
However, when the coordinated infantry and tank attack force arrived at the base of 259 Hill, they were met with a fierce counterattack from the Blue Army on the hill.
The firepower was too strong and too intense.
The two attacking companies of the Red Army were suppressed and had no way to go up to the high ground. They continued to attack refusing to believe in evil, but the enemy's firepower became even more fierce.
In the end, they lost two tanks and more than twenty soldiers and had to retreat in disgrace.
"How is this going?"
Seeing the Red Army troops running down in disgrace, the commander of the joint operations battalion was stunned.
When the battle report reached the Red Army Headquarters, a number of senior Russian military officials, including Dmitry, were also confused by the result and could not understand why the gap was so huge.
Didn't they bombard the high ground for so long? Why was the Blue Army's resistance still so fierce? Why could the Chinese troops rush to the position easily after the bombing? It was as if the Blue Army's resistance on the high ground was non-existent.
No one can figure it out!
If Chen Jun were here, he would be able to see the problem at a glance.
The summary is just one sentence -
The answer is right in front of us, but we still can’t understand it.
Dmitry did copy the fighting style of the 7th Steel Battalion and made some additions to the troops, but he forgot the most critical additional "attribute".
Using two motorized infantry companies to pair up with a mechanized infantry company might just be enough to just stand there and shoot.
But when it comes to action, the two are completely different.
Not a speed at all.
After the heavy artillery of the 7th Steel Battalion bombed the position, the infantry company rushed over at high speed in infantry fighting vehicles instead of running on foot.
Not to mention that the two legs are not for running, but have to hide behind the tank to move forward.
The speed difference between driving at full speed and walking is at least ten times.
The 7th Steel Battalion was able to rush to the position and break through the Blue Army's defense before the Blue Army could react, thanks to its lightning-fast assault speed.
Before the Blue Army could come out after dodging the artillery shells, the 7th Steel Battalion had already rushed in their faces.
What about the Red Russian Army?
The infantry company hid behind the tanks and walked slowly. If they walked a distance of several hundred meters and then climbed a slope of a hundred meters to reach the high ground, and the Blue Army had not reacted and prepared for defense, they would probably have to replace them with an 80-year-old grandfather.
Dmitriy ignored the speed, which resulted in his attempt to draw a tiger but ended up drawing a dog instead.
The answer was right in front of my face, but I copied it wrong. (End of this chapter)
