When the government army commander heard what Lu Zhanjun said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Fake attack from the front, detour from the side!"
"This is definitely a very feasible battle plan. This Lu Zhanjun really has some abilities!"
Little did Lu Zhanjun know that his extremely ordinary attack tactics would turn out to be a genius decision in the eyes of the opposing commander.
This is mainly because the opponent's military quality is so low that it is shockingly low.
Although wars continue in the Middle East, we have to admit that the entire modern Middle East is not good at fighting.
Since the Second World War, wars have become increasingly demanding on tactics, strategies and patterns. The whole world has learned a lot of war experience from that war. Even those originally weak Southeast Asian countries have become stronger.
To be brave and good at fighting, only the Middle East has not improved in terms of war talent. On the contrary, it is still far behind other regions.
Syria, Afghanistan and even Iraq have been fighting for so many years. No matter how large the local armed forces are, they basically follow the guerrilla model when fighting.
Low military literacy is the biggest problem for the militaries of all countries in the Middle East except Israel.
The training level of soldiers is insufficient, the command level of officers is insufficient, and the coordination ability between various departments and arms of the army is extremely poor. At the same time, the troops generally lack a strong will to fight. Many times, a seemingly huge army can actually be broken with a single blow.
Not to mention a country like Syria, which is at war all the time, even those super rich countries that started from oil, their military is better than anyone else when it comes to spending money to buy equipment, and almost all other aspects are in a mess.
For example, Saudi Arabia, which has almost all advanced American equipment, was able to capture even the M1A2 main battle tank sold to them by the United States during a confrontation with the Houthi armed forces, earning it the reputation of "Transportation Brigade Captain".
The military level of the wealthy countries is so worrying, let alone Syria.
The government army commander who partnered with Lu Zhanjun actually had no professional military education at all. When a team of several thousand people came out, he was basically confused about how to arrange troops and formulate tactics and strategies.
Even the simplest infantry and artillery coordination was a plan proposed by Lu Zhanjun.
The reason why the government army commanders did not expect to use infantry and artillery to coordinate is mainly because their artillery training level is extremely low. They can barely do it at close range on the training ground. They really pulled it out and let them bomb in the mountains and hills.
Meade's base, they don't even know how to calculate the coordinates.
If Lu Zhanjun had not had experts who were proficient in calculations under his command, they would not have even prepared to bring the towed artillery when they came out to attack Hamid this time.
Because in addition to using guns, their soldiers are only good at operating one type of heavy fire weapon, which is RPG rockets.
That was too simple for them. There was no need for surveying, no calculation, and no need to coordinate with various departments. If you wanted to blow up whatever you wanted, you could just put the thing on your shoulder, aim it visually, and then launch it.
Even illiterate people can operate it easily.
But behind the artillery thing is a set of complicated tactical systems, including reconnaissance, calculation, location selection, coordination, attack and defense. These elements are indispensable. If the coordinate calculation of an artillery with a range of twenty or thirty kilometers cannot be understood,
Even if you blow it up for a day, you may not be able to hit the enemy.
Therefore, he who didn't understand bullshit tactics immediately accepted Lu Zhanjun's set of techniques and tactics as his guide.
However, a problem has arisen.
Why let your own army feign an attack?
Even if it's a feint, you still have to show off to the opponent on the frontal battlefield, right?
Moreover, you can't feint out of the enemy's fire range, right? In that case, even a fool can tell it's an act.
However, on the frontal battlefield, our side has no advantage. Even if it is a feint attack, many soldiers will be lost.
Moreover, the side that feints to attack will not only suffer losses. The key is to wait for the people from Wanlong Palace to detour from the side and steal the opponent's permanent fortifications. The credit for conquering the enemy camp will still belong to them.
This deal becomes less and less worthwhile the more I think about it.
So, he said: "Your method is okay, but I don't think we should let my team feint attack. How about we change it, you let your team feint attack, and I let my soldiers go around the side!"
Lu Zhanjun said angrily: "Stop dreaming! Let my soldiers pretend to attack? Can soldiers like yours, who are seriously lacking in training, be able to undertake such a difficult task? By then, you can just touch it, but you won't be able to defeat it.
What’s the use of eggs?”
When the commander heard this, he couldn't help but thought to himself: "This seems to be true... The overall strength of my soldiers is much worse. If we really go to fight a tough battle, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat the opponent... What's more, the opponent has permanent preparations.
If the protection of the fortifications cannot be taken down by then, I don’t know how many people will die..."
Wanting to understand this level, he immediately said: "Okay! In this case, it's up to you to weave in and out, and I'll feign a frontal attack!"
Lu Zhanjun glanced at him disdainfully, then snorted coldly and said: "Now the team has withdrawn, but don't let the opponent breathe. Let the artillery in the rear continue to bombard. I will make a battle plan with my team. In 10 minutes
Start turning sideways, and then you will launch a feint attack!"
The commander of the other side also felt that Lu Zhanjun seemed to understand war better than he did, so he immediately agreed and said with a smile: "Easy to say, I'll call right now and have the artillery fire another five rounds immediately!"
…
At this time, Hamid saw that the opponent abandoned more than 1,000 corpses and retreated, and his inner sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.
Immediately afterwards, the adjutant came forward to report and said with great joy: "Commander, each team has just done an inventory. In the battle just now, none of us were killed or injured!"
"Fuck!" Hamid slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "The Chinese people's skills and tactics are so damn amazing! I have to call brother Ye quickly to report!"
Immediately afterwards, Hamid immediately took out his satellite phone and called Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had already rushed back to Tomson Yipin's home and locked himself in the room, waiting for Hamid's follow-up feedback.
He knew very well that he was in Jinling and was really beyond his reach to the situation on Hamid's side.
And this is not a simple matter of rescuing someone, but a war involving tens of thousands of people on both sides.
In this kind of war, it is never a powerful person who can decide the direction of the war, so even if I rush there now, I may not be able to help him.
What's more, with such a long distance and the need to travel to Lebanon, even if Concorde comes over now, it will be a few hours before I arrive in Syria. By then, the overall situation may have been decided.
So what I can do now is to stay on the phone and wait for Hamid's feedback. If he encounters a problem, I must provide him with help in time.
When he received a call from Hamid, he answered the call almost immediately and asked: "Brother, how is the situation over there??"
Hamid said happily: "Brother Ye, you are so amazing. Every move of the other party is within your prediction range!"
As he spoke, Hamid took a breath and continued: "They indeed used the infantry-artillery coordinated combat method you mentioned. They first launched a large-scale intensive artillery attack on my base and positions, and then began to let them go.
Thousands of infantrymen rushed forward forcefully, but they underestimated the enemy. Just now, my troops suddenly opened fire and counterattacked, catching them off guard. They have been pushed back now, and the number of casualties is estimated to be at least a thousand!"
Ye Chen asked: "Then what state are they in now? Have they started preparing for artillery attack again?"
"Not sure..." Hamid said: "They just retreated, and there is no movement yet."
Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "Then I guess they will continue to launch artillery attacks soon, but you must be careful. The other party is likely to take a roundabout approach from the side and directly attack your fortifications."
