With this kind of basic information, there is no need for the Major General Chief of Staff to repeat what he told Lin Yi here: Lin Yi is so powerful, but you are just a deputy battalion commander. Looking at the entire conference room, you are at the lowest level.
But since the chief of staff said this, the meaning is naturally obvious, that is, I am very optimistic about Lin Yi. In his heart, Lin Yi's status is far superior to the several battalion commanders here.
Several battalion commanders also understood that Lin Yi's ability was so outstanding that it was normal for him to be taken seriously.
After giving the basic information, the chief of staff looked at everyone and said, "I don't keep you here to do post-war inventory. We will do the inventory later and slowly. This meeting is mainly to talk about the biggest mistakes you have made.
.Let’s start with the third battalion first. As the victors, you have this priority.”
The third battalion commander stood up quickly after hearing this, but before he could speak, the chief of staff said, "Deputy battalion commander Lin, please speak first."
These words made the third battalion commander unable to get off the stage. He had to sit down quickly. Lin Yi knew that the leader was slightly dissatisfied with the third battalion commander, but there was no way. The army is a place that emphasizes strength. If the assessment is a real battlefield, your headquarters
They've all been touched off. As a battalion commander, do you still have the nerve to be the first to speak?
Lin Yi stood up quickly and said: "My biggest mistake was that I failed to cooperate with the battalion commander and do a good job in guarding the camp, which led to a sneak attack on the battalion headquarters."
A discerning person could immediately tell that Lin was taking the blame for the Third Battalion Commander. Deputy Brigadier Chen couldn't help but interjected, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, you don't have to be so humble. The Third Battalion headquarters was attacked by surprise."
At that time, you and the third company were harassing the troops outside the fourth battalion. Why are you taking the blame for your battalion commander? He has to pay for his mistakes himself. He cannot bear this responsibility, and he can still fulfill the position of a battalion commander.
?"
Brigadier Meng also said: "Xiao Lin, don't be a good person. We are not meeting here at night to talk about these trivial things. Please tell us whether there were any shortcomings or mistakes in the process of leading the third battalion to fight.
Any obvious mistakes, etc.”
Since it was brought to this point, Lin Yi didn't change the topic casually, "I think the third battalion's biggest shortcoming during the battle against the enemy, apart from not doing a good job in preventing penetration, was that it fought too conservatively, or maybe it could
It is said that we failed to eliminate the special operations battalion in the outer positions of several battalions, but instead delayed the special operations battalion for an extra week. This is too inappropriate."
As soon as these words came out, all the battalion commanders were stunned. Is your third battalion still playing conservatively?
Let’s not talk about sending troops to support each battalion. Let’s talk about fighting the enemies outside ourselves. Your third battalion also fought the most aggressively. In the end, you even used tricks to lure the fourth special operations company out to carry out encirclement and suppression. If you do this
If the fight is still conservative, then what kind of fight should be called radical?
This energized the chief of staff, "Please elaborate."
Lin Yi nodded, "In fact, in terms of military strength, the strength of our four battalions is far better than that of the special operations battalion. Not only the strength of the troops, but also the weapons and equipment. But why can we be beaten like this by a mere battalion?
?That means playing too conservatively.
I won’t talk about the other battalions for now. I’ll just talk about our third battalion. Our third battalion has 800 people, and the weapons and equipment are as good as the teeth. But the enemies on our periphery are only more than 200 in full force. If we could at that time
Stop and have a good fight with them, and you won't even be harassed for so many days later, and the battalion headquarters will naturally not be stolen.
Passive defense is never as good as active attack. As long as you hurt them and make them scared, they will definitely not provoke you casually, and then this defense will naturally be the most successful."
The chief of staff nodded, "This principle sounds simple to say, but it is really difficult to do. Especially the fifth and sixth battalions. In the first night of battle, more than half of the troops were lost. Such casualties seem to be shocking.
People are shocked.”
Deputy Brigadier Chen also quite agreed with Lin Yi's style of play. It was more like-minded than agreement, because Lin Yi's style of play was very different from the usual practice of his special operations brigade. Naturally, he was interested in this.
I really appreciate this tactic.
But Brigadier Meng expressed a different opinion, "Chief of Staff, although Lin Yi was once my assistant, his combat style is different from mine.
I have always sought stability, and I believe that stability is the first priority in modern warfare. It is essentially correct to use dangerous tactics to move troops, but your tricks are unique, and it is difficult to make waves in the face of beyond-visual-range attacks.
As a battalion-level commander, Lin Yi naturally has the best view of the overall situation, but as a leader of a grassroots agency unit, he cannot lead people to charge personally like a commando or company commander.
When Lin Yi said that the attack was too conservative, he just meant that the third battalion had too few charges and did not dare to press forward in large numbers. Lin Yi, am I right?"
Lin Jing was a little surprised to see that the brigade commander who was supposed to be supporting him took the initiative to provoke the assassination, but he still nodded, "The brigade commander is right, I just want to push up the troops in large numbers."
Brigadier Meng asked: "Have you ever thought about a question? Your combat troops are pressing forward. Who will be responsible for the safety of your logistics and technical troops? Just rely on a guard platoon? But this guard platoon is even a battalion.
If the headquarters cannot be defended, how many troops do you expect them to defend?"
Lin Yi scratched his head, "But our large forces are pressing forward. How can they have other troops to attack?"
Brigadier Meng smiled and said, "Is it okay for you to take the Third Company to poke others' tails and not allow them to attack you? If I were the commander of the special operations battalion, as long as you dare to overwhelm the large troops, I will definitely defeat you in the shortest possible time.
If you eat your logistical baggage within a certain period of time, you will be faced with the dilemma of no food and no ammunition. What should you do then?
And I can clearly say that the Special Forces Squadron did have a support unit at the beginning. You didn't feel it because the fifth and sixth battalions exposed too many flaws. Your battalion and the fourth battalion were relatively stable.
They can't eat meat, so they won't come to you, but once you attack aggressively and expose your flaws, they will come over and bite you like wolves smelling fishy smell."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yi was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. If this was really the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Suddenly Lin Yi remembered that when he took the 2nd and 3rd companies to support the 5th and 6th battalions, there was indeed a squad of special forces that moved to the 4th battalion.
At that time, I was still wondering why only one class of people passed by and where were the rest?
Later I figured out that the remaining special forces were going to blow up the reservoir, but I never thought about why they didn't go together to blow up the reservoir instead of being separated into another class?
Now that I think about it, this special forces squad must be a traveling support force.
