Yuan Lang knew the strength configuration of the Blue Army and also knew what the rules of the confrontation exercise were. There was only one last key link left -
how to spell!
So Yuan Lang asked: "One battalion fights one division. This is a tough battle. What are the criteria for victory? Do you have a specific action plan?"
"The disparity in strength between the two sides makes it indeed a tough battle for us."
Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing led the team to the sand table, pointed to the mountainous area in the middle, and said in a deep tone: "The Red Army Infantry Division is the defender in this confrontation exercise.
This mountainous area 20 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide is a position where the Red Army is stationed. We currently don’t know exactly how the troops were stationed.
Our blue army is the main attacker. How to win? The exercise headquarters gave three plans.
First, destroy more than 30% of the Red Army's effective forces, destroy more than 50% of its tanks, and destroy no less than three regiment headquarters.
Second, completely destroy the division's helicopter brigade, air defense regiment, tank regiment and artillery regiment.
Third, destroy more than 60% of the Red Army's tank units, find the Red Army's division headquarters, and completely destroy its headquarters."
None of the three conditions mentioned by battalion commander Liu Zhongxing are easy to achieve.
Regardless of the disparity in military strength between the two sides, the amount of tasks the Blue Army has to complete is extremely exaggerated. On average, it is equivalent to killing four times the size of the Red Army.
One can imagine.
How difficult is this confrontation?
"The first two plans are very troublesome. Only the third plan is relatively simple. Do you know where the Red Army's division headquarters is?" Jackie Chan asked.
"Easy? This is the hardest thing."
Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing held the command pole, pointed on the sand table and said: "This, this, and this road, all intersections deep into the hinterland of the Red Army positions are blocked by their armored infantry regiments.
If you want to cross their defense line into the hinterland and find the Red Army's division headquarters, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Before you came, we were already discussing the preliminary battle plan, and we were more inclined to go with the first or second option.
Our electronic reconnaissance company has an absolute advantage and can conduct comprehensive reconnaissance of the Red Army's forward positions, find breakthroughs, and then wait for opportunities to act.
Wage mobile warfare around the perimeter of the Red Army positions and continuously annihilate enemy combat units."
Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing's strategic direction is correct. As a combined battalion that can fight alone, its biggest advantage is higher collaboration efficiency.
The tank regiment of the mechanized infantry division is a tank regiment, the armored infantry regiment is an armored infantry regiment, and the artillery regiment is an artillery regiment...
Each regiment cannot fight independently and needs to cooperate with other troops. There will definitely be a big difference in combat efficiency and reaction speed.
Using mobile warfare to fight can indeed better leverage the advantages of the combined team.
To be able to become the battalion commander of Zhu Rihe's combined battalion, Liu Zhongxing must have a lot of skills, and his battalion staff are not just for free.
The strategic execution plan they chose is indeed more conducive to combined battalion operations.
There was nothing wrong with the general direction of the combat plan. Yuan Lang had nothing to say and went straight to the final core question: "Then how do you arrange my team?"
"Your team has a difficult mission."
Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing said solemnly: "The electronic reconnaissance company can only obtain external intelligence and further analyze the intercepted electronic signals.
Specifically, it is difficult to find the main forces such as the tank regiment, helicopter group, and artillery regiment of the Red Army, and you need to infiltrate them.
Penetration behind enemy lines is Lao A's specialty, I believe you will be able to complete it easily."
Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing seemed amiable, but when it came to the difficulty, he was not lenient at all and even blocked the escape route.
Go deep into the hinterland of a division to conduct reconnaissance, and it is in a high-density area of 20x25km.
If it were as simple as what Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing said, the military region would not specially transfer the Ace of Spades as the ultimate test for the Ace of Spades team.
A man as monstrous as Yuan Lang instantly understood what Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing meant.
but.
Even though he knew that the battalion commander Liu Zhongxing was playing tricks and handing over the most difficult task to the Ace of Spades by provocation, Yuan Lang did not reveal it to his face and refused.
Because he knew that Old A was here to gnaw bones, he was already prepared in his heart.
"When will the drill start?" Yuan Lang asked.
"It will officially start at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will send you to the starting point then. You still have half a day to prepare. If you need anything, just ask." Battalion Commander Liu Zhongxing said generously.
"Okay, so be it."
Yuan Lang did not hesitate and arranged: "Jackie Chan, you go down first and bring the equipment and materials needed for relative preparation. Write down everything you need. The synthetic camp is very rich, so don't be polite to them.
You are the captain of the team in this operation. This is a test for you and a trust in you. I hope you can successfully complete the mission."
"Yes, captain, I'm going down then!"
Jackie Chan stood up, put on his hat, saluted and strode out of the headquarters.
Yuan Lang did not leave with Jackie Chan. As the leading officer of the old A team, he still needed to have more communication with the combined battalion.
He will also remain at the combined battalion headquarters throughout the entire confrontation exercise.
"Playing infiltration? Now it's fun. Due to time and venue constraints during the special training period, there was no way to start training. Now I can finally make up for it."
Jackie Chan didn't feel any pressure at all, his emotions were only excitement and anticipation.
After leaving the tent of the synthetic battalion headquarters, Jackie Chan found a guard to take him all the way, and successfully entered the dormitory of the old A team, and conveyed all the information he heard at the synthetic battalion headquarters to the Ace of Spades team.
"Armed infiltration? Now it's fun." Tuo Yonggang said excitedly.
Tuo Yonggang, who has a bit of a fierce personality, has completely let go of himself since the fear in his heart was eliminated by Jackie Chan.
All I can think about is defeating the Red Army!
Now that I heard that Ace of Spades was going to engage in infiltration operations, as a paratrooper who was destined to jump into the enemy, I was extremely excited to return to my old profession.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If we can find the Red Army headquarters directly, can we just eat it?" Wu Liuyi said very worriedly.
"When fighting within an area of 500 square kilometers, it is too difficult to find the enemy's division headquarters. It is simply impossible."
Wu Zhe analyzed rationally: "I think our main targets should be the artillery regiment and the helicopter group, and then the tank regiment.
The artillery regiment and helicopter brigade are the main units. As long as they can be destroyed, the Red Army's firepower will be reduced by at least half.
If the tank regiment can still be found, the Red Army will basically be useless. Without heavy firepower and front row, the combat effectiveness will be ten or ten."
Wu Zhe's analysis is quite accurate.
Xu Sanduo immediately said happily: "If we find the air defense regiment again, wouldn't we win? It doesn't seem that difficult."
"Don't think it's that simple."
Jackie Chan poured cold water on them and warned: "The Red Army is not a bunch of fools, they are a heavy-duty mechanized infantry regiment that has defeated the Blue Army many times.
We know that these four units are important, and the Red Army must know it better than we do.
In order to prevent them from being found and killed, the Red Army will definitely find ways to hide them. We want to find them, but it's not that simple."
Xu Sanduo, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly stopped after Jackie Chan said this.
Jackie Chan hit the stick, then gave the candy and said: "It's difficult, but it's not impossible. As long as the methods are in place, there's still a high probability of finding it.
When you wait to distribute supplies, remember to bring detailed military terrain maps.
At that time, I will manually grid it. The total area of the Red Army positions is only 500 square kilometers, which can be divided into 50 large grids and 500 small grids.
Our Ace of Spades team can be divided into two groups, or even three investigation groups.
Distribute these grids evenly to each group and search grid by grid. No matter how deeply it is hidden, we can dig it out.
There is only one thing we have to do, and that is to hide it invisibly.
As long as we are not discovered and caught by the Red Army, we have enough time to search the entire war zone and uncover the hidden targets."
Jackie Chan's grid plan is so essential that the Ace of Spades team feels it is very feasible.
Throw away all the worries in your mind, feel at ease with this infiltration deep into enemy lines, and discuss the details of the next action together.
He also listed the supplies that needed to be carried one by one in a list and handed them over to the logistics battalion for preparation.
Penetrating special operations deep behind enemy lines requires a very special fighting method, which mainly focuses on reconnaissance and intelligence, and will not engage in actual combat unless absolutely necessary.
You have to be particularly careful about carrying equipment.
