Commander Xu saw it. Zhuang Yan made a very detailed analysis and summary of all the battles in the past few days, and made notes on tactics, operations, coordination, joint operations, etc. Compared with Chen Shouzheng of Group D That report seemed less in-depth.
He looked at the senior colonel in front of him, saw the bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and knew in his heart that he might not have much time to rest solemnly these days.
Commander Xu had previously seriously recommended Zhuang Yan to Military Region G, but he had a wait-and-see attitude.
Firstly, this was the decision of the headquarters, and secondly, it was based on Zhuang Yan’s former reputation and ability.
This was his first close contact with Zhuang Yan, and he found that this young colonel really had a bit of a desperate streak in him.
I thought I could reach the master level at such a young age because of my background, but this time, it seems that I really have the real stuff.
"go on."
Commander Xu turned around and greeted a staff officer present.
"Bring a cup of tea to Chief of Staff Zhuang. I think his mouth is dry from talking."
Soon, the tea was delivered to Zhuang Yan.
Commander Xu said: "Don't worry, continue talking after drinking."
He solemnly said "Thank you, Commander", then took a sip of tea, put the tea cup aside, and looked back at the big screen.
"The air assault brigade is characterized by its extremely high mobility and extremely fast deployment speed. The ground troops cannot be compared with them at the same level. However, the air assault brigade also has weaknesses. Their equipment is relatively light. When encountering heavily armed troops, Fighting to death is not a good option.”
He tapped the Niutou Ridge on the screen with his pen.
"But the deployment here is different. According to the battle report, the main force of the E Division was greatly blocked when it advanced to the Juelang Valley area. The 113th Brigade lacked mobility and could not deploy when fighting in the mountainous areas, but it entered the Juelang Valley area. In the Wolf Valley area, the terrain in that area is relatively flat, and the altitude of Juelang Ridge is less than a hundred meters, and the slope is also very small, so the heavy-armed troops can exert sufficient combat effectiveness when deployed there."
"Just when the E Division's main offensive force was blocked, the 32nd Air Assault Brigade went directly to the direction of Niutouling and carried out leapfrog tactics. They used their huge helicopter formation to land two assault battalions there, and quickly solved the remaining troops at Niutouling. An E Division infantry battalion stationed on the ground destroyed the communication base established there. The E Division commander originally wanted to occupy Niutou Ridge as a logistics supply and forward support base, but he did not expect that the 32nd Brigade would take advantage of it and take advantage of it."
The solemn statement reviewed the details of the exchange of fire between the two armies in the past few days, and directly pointed out the loopholes in the command of the E Division.
"today……"
Shao Xianyong pondered for a moment and asked, "How is the battle going today?"
"The current situation of the E Division is very passive. They took the Juelang Valley in one go, but unexpectedly, the 32nd Brigade and the 113th Brigade successfully used Niutou Ridge as a bait to conduct a counter-siege. Now they are trapped in Juelang Valley and In the on-site area of more than 100 kilometers between Niutou Ridge, the E Division's rapid response team, which was maneuvering from the east, had been blocked by the 32nd Brigade's airborne armed reconnaissance battalion and a Wuhan direct battalion, and had already given up on the road. The convoy retreated to the mountains to hide and carry out mountain warfare. It has to be said that this is also a choice among no choices. Otherwise, they have no other good choice except entering the mountains. In front of Wuzhi, the ground convoy is a living target. .”
Commander Xu asked: "Where are the air force and army aviation units we sent to E Division?"
Zhuang Yan said: "This is an important issue I want to mention. Since the E Division changed its combat plan twice, the cooperation with the Air Force and Army Aviation was completely disrupted. It even happened that the Air Force received an order while flying mid-flight. Temporarily stopping the action, they had no choice but to return to the airport to land. However, when they were attacked by the 113th Brigade and the 32nd Air Assault Brigade, they called the air force to come for support. The Red Air Force flew to the battlefield and saw that the two sides had already fought together. The regiment was so intertwined that it was impossible to drop bombs for fear of blowing up the ground troops of Division E. Then the blue army's anti-aircraft firepower began to extend, and the red army's aircraft could not guarantee safety and could only pull up and take off."
Shao Xianyong asked: "What about the artillery unit of E Division?"
Zhuang Yan said: "Actually, I'm afraid Song Yiming and Xu Xingguo have already considered this. Since the E Division temporarily changed its combat plan after receiving the reconnaissance results, it launched the attack at 7 o'clock and only sent the news to the artillery regiment at 6:30. The artillery regiment's front-line artillery finger had not yet been fully deployed, and the artillery did not enter the firing position at the hiding hour. Half an hour was not enough. After occupying Niutouling without any danger, the E Division headquarters issued another order to the artillery unit. , asked them to move the artillery to the depression in front of Niutou Ridge, and set up artillery positions to provide fire support for the troops who were harassed by the 32nd Air Assault Brigade Armed Reconnaissance Battalion while driving on the road. Unexpectedly, they had just climbed over Niutou Ridge and entered the designated area. However, the Wu Zhi Battalion of the 32nd Air Assault Brigade came and bombed the position wildly. The anti-aircraft artillery fire was already judged to be destroyed and left the field before it was launched, and it did not play any role at all. "
Shao Xianyong shook his head after hearing this: "In this way, if there is a real war, the enemy does not need to hit you. If you are so confused, you may be able to destroy yourself."
Zhuang Yan said: "The combined brigade flattens the command and integrates the arms. There are few levels of transfer in the command, so it is flexible and can command quickly. The traditional division has a bloated command structure with many levels, many transfers, and command The problem of not being flexible enough was no longer a problem. In fact, the artillery regiment tried its best, but they had nothing to do. They rushed quickly and slowly, and even though they lost a lot of anti-aircraft firepower, they still entered combat mode and fought tooth and nail for the E Division that was intersecting on the road. The motorized rapid response unit provided 70% of the fire support. Unfortunately, my old comrade-in-arms may have expected this. He used a reconnaissance battalion to attack in small unit harassment mode, and the artillery regiment's firepower covered it. , as a result, the effect of killing the enemy was not good, but it caused serious damage to his own convoy..."
At the end of Zhuang Yan's words, he sighed and said: "In fact, even the traditional infantry divisions have been clamoring to learn joint operations and practice joint operations these days. However, they are shouting loudly, but they are inherently deficient. When it comes to actual combat, they must show When the real effort came, the air force and air force were not connected, and the artillery and artillery did not coordinate well. What about the infantry? They can directly command, but without the space to cooperate, it is just spreading beans on the ground, and the local air detachment can only eat the fish."
Commander Xu raised his head and sighed, then asked Zhuang Yan: "Now, does E Division still have a chance to turn around?"
Zhuang Yan said: "Yes, but the chance is very small. The Blue Army has completed the trap of catching the turtle in the urn. There are not many artillery units left in the E Division. The Niutouling position has been destroyed and the communications have been damaged. Fortunately, although their main attacking force encountered When the 113th Brigade blocked the attack, they realized something was wrong and had already retreated into the mountains and jungles between Niutou Ridge and Juelang Valley. Now the Mohua Division has become a mountain division, and a dead horse is a living horse doctor. Can it win the final victory? Victory depends on the wisdom of the commander of E Division."
After the phased reporting meeting, the leaders of Military Region G left with a sullen expression, while the leaders of Army Group D left with a sullen expression.
After seeing these people off and watching them go downstairs and get into the car, Serenity couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha! You, you, are still that unforgiving solemnity!"
He took out the lozenges from his pocket and handed them to Zhuang Yan.
"Take one, stay up late and talk for so long, your throat will become hoarse."
Zhuang Yan took the lozenge and threw one into his mouth.
He asked solemnly: "You will probably work in Group D in the future. Are you so ruthless and not afraid of offending others?"
He solemnly smiled and said, "Have I offended not many people? When I was a steppe wolf, I had already offended everyone!"
Serious couldn't help but laugh heartily again.
Finally, he asked a very serious question: "Do you really think Master E can turn around?"
Zhuang Yan said: "We who are engaged in military command all know that no battlefield situation can be 100%. Even if we say 100%, accidents will still happen. After all, E Division still has two regiments of troops, and the Air Force has The losses on the side are not particularly large, but the armored forces are completely destroyed. It depends on whether Lao Xu and Lao Song are impatient or not. If they are not impatient, they can kill the E Division. If they are impatient...there will be flaws in people's impatientness. , who can say for sure?"
After listening seriously, he said with emotion: "If you were in charge of E Division this time, maybe it wouldn't be so miserable."
