Chapter 756: Tactical Explanation
I ate melon on my own head and wanted to watch a play, but found that the protagonist was myself.
There is no time to waste, it is true that Leon and his men should be evacuated as soon as possible.
There was some lag in the intelligence, and what was seen on the screen was at least two hours ago. This time was enough for the Egyptians to go further, tighten their pockets, and maybe even start.
"how so?"
Jane looked very puzzled when she looked at the information. She was not a military person, but it didn't mean that she knew nothing about the war. In her understanding, this was not how the war was fought, and the current situation was abnormal.
"The Egyptians obviously have a huge advantage, but the Titians successfully reached the vicinity of Addis Ababa. They left a large number of troops unused, and now they are thinking of surrounding the Titians.
Vanguard, what are you doing?"
Jane frowned. She looked at Otto with confusion and said, "Shouldn't we fight around the Tiren Formation and compress the war within the control of the Tiren Formation?"
Otto thought for a while and said: "Maybe...well, well, the Egyptian formation was too slow to respond and had no time to mobilize troops."
A senior executive of the Department of Homeland Security is used to American-style warfare. Although she is a woman, Jane is also full of American-style thinking.
Americans lack wisdom in fighting because the US military is too strong. When faced with a weak enemy, it can just use its absolute superiority to crush it. The overwhelming firepower will solve everything.
Therefore, Americans don't need much war wisdom when fighting a war. After all, what can be done in a straight line is why there is no need to go through all the twists and turns.
As for Otto, what does he know about fighting as a killer?
He is engaged in intelligence, but his understanding of war is probably still in the era of the torrent of steel. He, an East German, lives on the front line of the confrontation between the East and the West. All he thinks about is nuclear bombs opening the way and tanks fighting decisively, so what does he know?
What about tactics?
But this is obviously a typical way of luring the enemy deep, it's very simple.
Gao Guang was busy making phone calls, but he just couldn't listen anymore, so he said to Jian: "This is to lure the enemy deeper."
After saying that, Gao Guang continued to say to Leon: "Have you started to retreat? Listen, first of all, ensure the safety of people. I will now call more drones to monitor the fighting situation between the two sides in real time. But now, you leave first
Convoy, avoid being covered by artillery fire, drive the convoy off the road, and pay attention to see if there are armored units and artillery scouts around."
Leon said anxiously: "I know, let's find a place to hide first, and then decide how to evacuate based on the situation."
Gao Guang hung up the phone, then he looked at Jane and said with a serious face: "What does it mean to lure the enemy deeper!"
Chinese people are close to 100%
I have heard the idiom "lure the enemy deep" a hundred times, but ninety-nine percent of them don't know how precious this idiom itself is.
The art of war has been condensed into an idiom and turned into an everyday expression. Of course, I don’t think this sentence is valuable. But the problem is that this idiom is a tactic and comes from the art of war.
The words you take for granted may, in the eyes of others, be the supreme law of war. Every Chinese has a master of war, but no one has thought about it deeply and has not had the opportunity to truly apply the war tactics that they have been exposed to since childhood.
But when it comes to the Tiren Formation, their main officer team has learned it.
Then, most of the officers of the Egyptian People's Front also went to Gaoguang's hometown for further studies.
Therefore, the Egyptian Formation has an advantage in terms of military strength, but its combat experience is not as rich as that of the Tien Formation, so they actually
However, he adopted the tactic of luring the enemy deep and then killing them all in one fell swoop. This was obviously a tactic used by the weak side in defensive operations.
As for the Tiren Formation, they had fewer people and their equipment was not as good as that of the Ai Formation. However, they adopted a strategy of attacking Huanglong directly, capturing the thief first and capturing the king first.
Both sides went in the opposite direction and wanted to achieve suddenness in their tactical actions.
It's just that Gao Guang has never been to the military academy, but he can understand the secrets after a little thought. However, he can understand it, but it doesn't mean that he can make Jane and Otto understand it with just one idiom.
Gao Guang felt that it was understandable that Jane didn’t understand.
, it makes no sense that Otto, who was born in the Stasi, didn’t understand either.
After all the important things were said, Gao Guang simply gave the two of them a tactical lesson full of Eastern wisdom.
"Is it difficult to understand how to lure the enemy deep? It's just..."
Gao Guang thinks it’s not difficult to understand or explain, but it’s really
When I wanted to explain it to the two of them, I found that I didn’t know what to say.
An idiom is related to a series of events that occurred in a series of historical backgrounds. If you want to explain it simply, you have to understand Chinese culture. But to explain it to two people who don’t understand Chinese culture at all, it seems like there are too many things to say.
.
"Luring the enemy deep is to lure the enemy to terrain that is beneficial to me, and then fight on the premise that it is beneficial to me."
Gao Guang stumbled and literally translated the meaning of the idiom, without much connotation.
Jane's eyes were still full of confusion.
That shouldn't be the case. With Jane's knowledge and experience, she
Still don’t understand?
Gao Guang looked at Otto again. Otto spread his hands and said with a puzzled expression: "Why? The Egyptian Formation is fully capable of carrying out a decisive battle. It only takes one battle to solve the threat of the Tiren Formation."
Thinking about the Soviet Union's tactics, well, OK, Otto's thoughts are understandable.
In the era of bipolar hegemony, the Soviet Union wanted to use thousands of tanks to push all the way across the European plains, while NATO wanted to slow down the Soviet Union's steel torrent and then fight back.
There is no such thing as luring the enemy deep, making detours to the left or right, or encircling the enemy to mobilize reinforcements.
One of these two people is American and the other is Soviet. It is a bit difficult for them to understand the war that Ethiopia is fighting, because the civil war in Ethiopia is filled with too much Eastern wisdom.
Gao Guang thought for a while, then he pulled the tablet and said: "Come on, let you see and you will understand. The Egyptian formation is overpowering the Tiren formation, so the battle can take place in Tigray, but the main point of the Tire formation is
If all the troops are concentrated in Tigray, then the troops will appear to be very dense. It is difficult for the Egyptians to attack if they want to penetrate, that is, the space is small and the density is high. This reason is very simple."
Otto and Jane are on the same side.
Gao Guang scratched his hand and said: "So instead of pressing down and fighting, they opened their mouths and let the Tiren formation take the initiative to fight, lengthen the front, and leak the main force from Tigray. This is called luring the enemy."
Going deeper, it’s easy to understand, right?”
The two nodded again.
"Okay, the front line of the Tiren Formation is very long now, and their supply and transportation lines are lengthening with the front troops. At this time, the Egyptian Formation suddenly comes to intercept the front troops, completely surrounds the front troops of the Ti Ren Formation, and then annihilates them all.
Without this main force of the Tiren Front, does that mean that the Tiren Front has lost its most important force? Not only has it lost the ability to attack Addis Ababa, but it will also be much more difficult to defend Tigray.
If one hundred thousand people defended a state, but now less than one hundred thousand defended it, then the Egyptian People's Liberation Army has a good chance of conquering Tigray in one fell swoop and completely disarming the Tigrayan people, thereby permanently eliminating this threat."
Jane and Otto looked at each other and then Otto suddenly said: "Then the Tiren Formation has been fooled and they are going to lose?"
Gao Guang shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Not necessarily, because the Tiren Formation also wants to do the same thing. The Ai Ren Formation wants to lure the enemy deep, divide and surround them, and finally gather them together to annihilate them. But the Tiren Formation also doesn't want to fight.
The fire has burned its own base and completely destroyed Tigray.
Therefore, the TPLF wants to take the initiative. Although it is going deep alone, as long as it quickly captures Addis Ababa, it can completely solve the current Ethiopian government, thereby ending the war at the minimum cost and regaining control of Ethiopia.
They have political power, so it’s right to propose a human formation. They have to do this. This is called capturing the thief first and capturing the king first.”
If Gao Guang hadn't used so many idioms, Otto and Jane might have understood, but there was no way. Gao Guang had no time to break it down and explain it to them. He could only explain it quickly using idioms that contained too much information.
.
Otto wanted to ask, but his dignity made him reluctant to speak, so he glanced at Jane.
Jane hesitated for a moment and said, "Then..."
Unfortunately, Gao Guang's phone rang again.
Gao Guang answered the phone and listened to Hank hurriedly say: "I
Let the drone return, focus on monitoring the convoy, and conduct a careful search around the convoy, but this will take time."
"Okay, first determine the surrounding environment and then decide how to evacuate. If there is any news, let me know."
The phone hung up again.
Gao Guang originally wanted to sit at home and make a phone call to start a business, and make money with a remote control command, but now it seems a bit uncertain.
What matters now is the guarantor.
If the cannon is lost, just throw it away. There is nothing you can do about it. If the cannon is gone, look for it again. If you die, you will not be able to live.
As for counterattacking or forcing a fight, Gao Guang didn't even think about it.
First of all, although these cannons were transported as a whole, they only had cannons and no cannonballs, and there were no artillerymen among the people Leon led. Without artillery, no matter how many cannons there were, they would be useless.
Secondly, we still don’t know how the Egyptians plan to launch their counterattack. It would be fine if it is an artillery attack, but if it is a charge with tanks covering the infantry, in this case, Leon’s convoy will have no resistance at all.
Therefore, we can only avoid it temporarily. After all, the target of the convoy is too big, and the possible attacks are diverse. Before more detailed information is available, people must be protected first.
Seeing Gao Guang put down the phone, Jane said again: "Then..."
But Gao Guang didn't have time to give them a tactical lesson. He grabbed the phone again to call Tom, but Jane could only remain silent again.
Jane turned to look at Otto, and then she frowned and said, "I still don't understand a little bit. How did the Egyptian Formation know that the Tiren Formation was going to do this? Otherwise, why would they prepare their troops for an ambush in advance?"
Gao Guang didn't raise his head and said: "It's just a matter of using the enemy's strategy. Both sides think they can use the enemy's strategy to their advantage."
