Chapter 1087 The Way of War
The result of the maritime exercise ended with the victory of the island troops, but it also paid a heavy price. It did not look calm like the usual exercises. Four small boats, one overturned, all personnel fell into the water, and another was severely damaged. Two combat team members "dead", six of the fifteen crew members on the cargo ship were "shot" and three were injured, and the other six were captured.
"Young Master Jie, let's take a look at our island defense operations. Imagine that because the armed cargo ship was investigated, the enemy's large troops launched a beach landing, and we wanted to block the enemy's landing, that is, anti-landing operations." The helicopter did not stop, but flew towards the beach, and Zheng Jun explained in advance.
The combat force of landing on the beach was 2 to 1, with one hundred people on the defense and two hundred people on the landing.
Of course, there will be no landing craft or amphibious tanks. The landing uses charge boats and helicopters, while the defense relies on the terrain and some helicopters to launch a fierce battle.
When I was inspecting at the airport just now, only heavy equipment jeeps and large trucks appeared on the road. In fact, because this is an offshore island, there is much more equipment on the sea than on the road.
At sea, in addition to freighters and transport ships, the troops also have more than 20 high-speed boats, including assault boats, inflatable boats, etc.
This exercise is to assume that the landing party is approaching the island and 20 charge boats below to rush to the beach, and the standard combat team members on each boat range from eight to ten people.
Looking from the sky in the distance, under the cover of five transport helicopters, the scene of twenty high-speed boats rushing to the beach was still spectacular, with the white waves stirring up in one piece, as if the blue sea was burned.
If the defense personnel did not fire from a distance, the effect they could not have been too great besides wasting bullets.
The place where the defense personnel waited was not on the beach, which was very stupid, because there was no danger to defend, and there was no cover for themselves and avoiding bullet attacks. They chose a forest behind a width of more than 50 meters. In this way, in addition to using thick trees and large rocks in between, they could also use leaves and shrubs to hide their whereabouts.
Just as the boat was about to rush to the beach, dense gunfire came and the defense opened fire in a dense manner.
Fortunately, the use of real gunpowder bullets was not used. Otherwise, many small boats might be blown up if they were not densely packed gun holes at this time. The firepower net was really airtight, and the side of the ship was hit and crackling.
Relying on high-speed inertia, the boats still managed to rush to Shanghai for more than ten meters. With the advantage of the number of people, if they can advance more than thirty meters, the defense will undoubtedly lose.
But the defense obviously made some relevant preparations. Even when time was tight, they still buried some "landmines" on the beach.
Although there were not too many, four boats still encountered each other and were immediately blown up and "humans were overturned". This was the result of imagination, because it was impossible to use real mines for exercise, but the thick black smoke that emanated did show that these four boats and the combat team members above had basically sacrificed or lost their combat effectiveness. As the relevant rules that had been used before acting, these four boats and people above could only remain unmoved, and the "dead people" would not move. Others who were hit also treated the same way. Except for the fact that their hands and feet could resist, they had to fall down consciously when they were hit, indicating that they had been shot dead.
Speaking of which, this is very similar to the popular WARGAME a few years later. Through that simulation game, everyone can experience the fighting passion of soldiers. Many units even regard organizing employees to participate in WARGAME as a new expansion activity to exercise their team awareness and agility and physical coordination.
The current method Zheng Jun and his team adopts is very similar to WARGAME, except that the level is much higher and the sense of reality is much stronger. The pain of being hit by a bullet is also more skin-wrenching. The smoke is rolling on the beach and the gunshots are loud.
Although the small boats that did not step on the "land mines" stopped, it was difficult for the offensive players on the boat to cross the line, and the dense firepower suppressed them tightly behind the charge boat.
The opponent is in the woods, with trees and stones as a cover, which is equivalent to being in the dark. The attacking players hiding behind the boat in the scorching sun feel that it is in the bright spot. They are easily aimed at it. They are not completely beaten, and they also take out guns to fight back. They just can't see the detailed location of the opponent's personnel, so the gun fired is aimless. If they hit the opponent, it is largely luck that works.
They also sent some personnel to form a stormtrooper to crawl forward, trying to think that they could get close to the woods and carry out mountain warfare.
However, the defense has a better way. In addition to throwing out "grenades", they also used their ammunition to set up "mudspray guns". The red smoke emitted from the "mudspray guns" can cover the crawling soldiers like flames. If it is a real flame, these soldiers will either be burned to death or burned, and will definitely lose their combat effectiveness.
In the air, some helicopters responsible for cover fired violently from the air into the woods, but the helicopters on the island who helped to let go also came over the battle and fired violently at local helicopters, squeezing local helicopters into the ocean for air combat.
Chen Kangjie, about one kilometer away from the battlefield, kept scanning the battlefield situation with a telescope in his hand.
"It seems that although the offensive side has a large number of people, they are completely in a state of being beaten. Their casualties will obviously be much greater than those of the defensive side. Now that the air support has been squeezed out, it is probably unlikely that they will completely land on the island," Chen Kangjie commented without putting down the telescope in his hand.
Zheng Jun and Ouyang Zhenhua also watched every move on the battlefield with telescopes in hand. Although Ouyang Zhenhua didn't know much about war, he could also see a rough idea.
"Indeed, they were beaten so hard that they could hardly raise their heads. They had already suffered one-third of their casualties just after the battle began," Ouyang Zhenhua echoed Chen Kangjie.
Zheng Jun did not speak immediately. He continued to observe for a while before saying, "This may not be the case. The war changes rapidly, and everything may happen until the end."
Zheng Jun's words seemed to be more cautious and persistent, and he did not say anything to death. On the one hand, his words reflected the way of war, and on the other hand, it also showed that he knew better about the two troops in the fierce battle below, especially their commanders.
Chen Kangjie put down his telescope and looked at Zheng Jun. Zheng Jun looked serious and was very confident in his opinions and judgments.
But for a long time, Zheng Jun's judgment was verified.
Just as the offensive party sent a team to launch a new round of attacks and was blocked and eliminated, the left side of the defense party made a loud gunfire, and their flanks were suddenly attacked. For a moment, the trees became chaotic, and the branches and leaves were trembling. It was obvious that someone was moving quickly inside.
When this sudden change occurred, the barriers and suppression of the beach in the defensive position immediately became weaker. Taking advantage of this opportunity, all the combatants behind the charge boat on the beach were impulsive and launched a reckless attack.
"What the hell is going on?" The person who asked this question in confusion was not Chen Kangjie, but Ouyang Zhenhua.
Of course, Chen Kangjie was also full of doubts, but he had to be more sensitive and did not ask such a simple question directly. Instead, he searched for clues on the battlefield and thought about it in combination with various information.
According to Chen Kangjie's inspection of Christmas Island and the detailed map, there are only two places around the island suitable for landing, one is the beach below, and the other is located in the north of the island, where there is also a beach suitable for landing. The rest are either rugged rocks or cliffs. Of course, you can also log in from the port, but there are people on duty there and the equipment is more complete. If you do not invest heavy firepower, it is almost impossible to directly occupy the port.
The key point is that there are only twenty small boats assigned to the attacking party, and the other few are battlefield assessors and battlefield rescue pilots on the outer sea surface. Since all the attacking ships have been put into operation, it is impossible for the attacking party to land elsewhere.
Chen Kangjie was a little puzzled. On the right side of the battlefield was a cliff more than 20 meters high. Could it be that the attacking party sent a team to climb up?
In order to confirm his guess, Chen Kangjie asked the pilot to fly the helicopter around the sea opposite the cliff. Zheng Jun only smiled on his face at Chen Kangjie's behavior and did not comment.
After coming to the designated area, Chen Kangjie raised his telescope to search for that area.
Not long after, everyone made new discoveries. Two ropes were hung on the cliff, and on the rocks below, there were about twenty sets of diving devices discarded there.
"It seems that someone has jumped into the sea during the process of advancing, avoided observation by diving, and then climbed up on this cliff that others could not imagine. As long as they can go up the mountain, they will not be able to appear on the left side of the defensive position of the defensive side." After his guess was confirmed, Chen Kangjie made a statement.
"Yes, at the beginning, I noticed that there were no two hundred people on the boat, but I couldn't find it from the perspective of the defense. Moreover, in order to confuse the opponent, several full boats were arranged to rush forward. In addition, their offense was not weak, so the defense did not expect that their purpose was to play a role in hindering the production. The real idea was to cover these people to penetrate from the side," Zheng Jun added.
"If you say this, wouldn't the offensive side definitely win? They are already large in number, and now the defense is caught off guard," Ouyang Zhenhua asked.
"This is not necessarily the case, but the same sentence. Until the end, no one knows the result. This is the real war. This is the biggest difference between our exercises and domestic military exercises." Zheng Jun still seemed cautious.
Due to the unexpected incident of attacking him unpredictable, the troops on the beach successfully attacked the jungle, and the offensive and defensive battle suddenly turned into jungle mountain guerrilla warfare.
