Military Region B.

In the huge multimedia conference center, Li Zhenxiang, deputy commander of the Military Region, and Liu Heng, deputy chief of staff, were watching intently at the screen several meters high in front of them.

All around, dozens of staff members are performing their duties, summarizing all kinds of data and analyzing the real-time battle situation.

This is the command center of the "Hurricane-05" exercise of Military Region B.

As a member of the "director team", Su Qiyue was also not idle.

He was sitting next to Wang Qidong, deputy director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Communications, to assist in processing the information reported from the front.

At eight o'clock last night, the acting officially kicked off.

At the beginning of the war, the air forces of the red side began a tentative attack on "City D".

After two rounds of bombardment, the outer defense forces of "City D" were forced to retreat.

The last line of defense outside the city no longer exists.

However, after clearing the firepower points on the periphery of the blue side, the red side did not immediately dispatch ground troops, but chose to wait.

Obviously, they wanted to get more information about the Blue team's defensive forces in the city before launching a full-scale attack.

"Judging from the first stage of the firefight, the air superiority of the red side is still obvious!"

Standing in front of the screen, Li Zhenxiang said thoughtfully.

When Deputy Chief of Staff Liu next to him heard this, he bowed his head lightly and said, "Yes, Commander Li." ”

"Army Group C itself has an army aviation group, coupled with the fire support of an attack group on the side of the air force of the military region, there will be no suspense in gaining air superiority!"

Li Zhenxiang replied without hesitation, and turned his head to look at the few people behind him.

Standing behind the two chiefs were undoubtedly several chief officers of the War Department and the Communications Department -- Deng Jiahua, Zhang Chunhua, Shen Ruyong, and others.

His eyes fell on Deng Jiahua, and Li Zhenxiang asked in a loud voice: "Minister Deng, does your War Department have any results of the analysis of the battle situation between the red and blue sides on the first day?" ”

After listening to the chief's question, Deng Jiahua hurriedly responded: "Chief, our war department has already analyzed last night's battle. ”

"Judging from the current situation, the two sides are still in a balance of power."

After listening to Deng Jiahua's answer, Li Zhenxiang asked curiously: "Oh, where did this result come from?" ”

"Chief, this is the case."

Deng Jiahua continued, "The Red side has the Army Aviation Group of Army Group C, and the Air Force has an attack group to help it, so it does occupy a certain air superiority. ”

"But the surface-to-air forces on the blue side should not be ignored either......"

Hearing the minister say this, Zhang Chunhua next to him added: "The Blue Army K has three anti-aircraft artillery regiments and artillery regiments, which are enough to pose a great threat to the air forces of the Red side. ”

"Until they are precisely located, the red side will not dare to rashly carry out continuous air strikes......"

When Li Zhenxiang heard this, he nodded with relief and said, "This is the reason why the red side did not launch the ground for the time being after the tentative attack." ”

After listening to the chief's words, Deng Jiahua echoed: "Yes, chief." ”

"According to the analysis of our War Department, the red side should be looking for a suitable fighter. Once the opportunity comes, they will do their best to use the idea of 'blitzkrieg' to break down the blue defense line and occupy 'City D' in one fell swoop. ”

"Oh? This is the conclusion that your war department came to after analyzing the battle situation of the two sides and comparing it with the combat strength? ”

Li Zhenxiang asked with interest.

Deng Jiahua nodded, and then explained: "The first person to propose that the red side might use the 'blitzkrieg' tactic was Comrade Su Qiyue. ”

"He has a very accurate analysis of the battle situation between the two sides. Our comrades here in the War Department also agree with his point of view......"

Hearing this, Li Zhenxiang couldn't help but glance at Liu Heng beside him.

The eyes of the two of them glanced at Su Qiyue at the same time, who was flipping with his hands and tapping the keyboard quickly.

As for Su Qiyue's ability in operational command, the two leaders had actually expected it before.

The last time the Special Operations Brigade commented on a series of performances of the "DA Division", Li Zhenxiang and Liu Heng discovered this.

This time, he was asked to join this "director group", and the two leaders just wanted to investigate his ability in this area again.

At this time, after Deng Jiahua finished speaking, Li Zhenxiang took the opportunity to say: "Then let Su Qiyue come over." Listen to his thoughts on the next trend of this exercise. ”

After getting the chief's order, Zhang Chunhua hurriedly went over to call Su Qiyue.

After a while, Su Qiyue followed Vice Minister Zhang to the front of the big screen.

Seeing Su Qiyue standing in front of him, Li Zhenxiang opened his voice disapprerovingly: "Comrade Su Qiyue, listen to Minister Zhang, you have some experience in operational command. Then you might as well tell us about your analysis of the trend of this exercise. ”

"Yes, Chief!"

Although I don't understand how Commander Li could think of this, since the chief has opened his mouth, Su Qiyue naturally can't hide it, so he can only tell his thoughts one by one.

"On the first day of the exercise, both sides were still in a state of tentativeness."

Su Qiyue pointed to the big screen and calmly analyzed: "Judging from the current battle situation, the combat strength of the red and blue sides is basically the same. ”

"The red side has a certain air superiority, but they are not as familiar with 'D City' as the blue side that has settled in first."

After a pause, Su Qiyue continued: "According to the direction of the red side's tentative attack on the first day, they should break through the northern part of 'D City' through a strong attack in the future, and then directly occupy the city......

Hearing this, Deputy Chief of Staff Liu couldn't help but be curious: "North? Why not the east direction? Obviously, the terrain in the east is more open, which is more suitable for mobile troops? ”

Li Zhenxiang also nodded and agreed: "Chief of Staff Liu is right! ”

"The Red side's attack yesterday has always been based on attacking the bunker east of 'City D'. Moreover, it has also achieved certain results. ”

"In this case, how can they launch a general offensive from the north? Isn't this making things more difficult for yourself? ”

After listening to the questions of the two leaders, Deng Jiahua and Zhang Chunhua glanced at each other and bowed their heads slightly in agreement.

Shen Ruyong next to him had been observing Su Qiyue's expression.

In his opinion, if this was a normal situation, an operational staff officer would definitely be a little panicked if he was questioned by the two chiefs in this way.

But on Su Qiyue's face, he couldn't see any change in expression, and he was still calm.

Noticing this, Shen Ruyong couldn't help but nod secretly: This young man's psychological quality is really good.

"Chief, there is a reason why I have come to such a conclusion."

Su Qiyue pointed to the screen in the upper right of the nine split-screens and said: "When the red side launched the first wave of attacks, it seemed that they were cleaning up the dark fort on the east side of the city, but their cleanup like this was also effective for them to break through the two defense lines in the north and south. ”

In fact, after the first wave of temptation, both sides already have a certain understanding of each other's arrangements. To the east, it was clearly heavily guarded by the Blue side. ”

"Even if the first wave of losses in these dark forts at the East Gate is not small, the rest of the fortifications at the East Gate are still very strong. Even the fire of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, which has not yet shown its true face, may be arranged on this side. ”

"So if Red forces a breakthrough from this direction, it will be very difficult......"

Hearing Su Qiyue say this, Li Zhenxiang and Liu Heng both nodded suddenly.

Indeed, although the commanders and fighters of the red side could not see the distribution of the blue forces as clearly as the exercise headquarters, they could still get the results of a simple analysis.

Since the defense line on the east side of "City D" is so strong, it is not worth it to choose to break through from here.

Su Qiyue then opened his voice: "After some of these dark forts in the east are cleared, their firepower coverage of the south gate and north gate will also be partially reduced. ”

"In addition, there is another moat at the south gate, which is not conducive to the deployment of mobile troops. In this case, I judge that the red side has the greatest probability of breaking through from the north gate......"

"Chief, that's how I see it."

After finishing his opinion, Su Qiyue stood aside and kept silent.

Li Zhenxiang nodded at him, looked left and right, and said, "Well, if you have any different ideas, you can talk about it." ”

Deng Jiahua pondered for a moment, and then was the first to speak: "Chief, I think there is still some truth in what Comrade July said. ”

"In the first round of exploratory attacks, the Red side failed to find out the specific location of the Blue anti-aircraft artillery regiment and artillery. But they can probably still see the strength of the opponent's defensive line in various places. ”

"They deduced that it was difficult to attack in the direction of the east gate, and it was entirely possible to switch to other directions to attack."

After Deng Jiahua finished speaking, Zhang Chunhua also echoed and said: "Yes! Army Group C had several tank regiments, armored regiments. The number of tanks and armored vehicles is much higher than that of Army K. ”

"So for them, even if they don't attack from the east gate in the open area, it won't be difficult."

Everyone naturally understands the meaning of Vice Minister Zhang's words.

In fact, for tanks and armored troops, the restrictions on battlefields such as cities are very limited.

After all, no matter how strong the city wall is, it can't stop the artillery fire and rampage of the tank group.

After listening to the opinions of the two war ministers, Li Zhenxiang nodded with relief.

"There's some truth to what everyone says. However, the message of change on the battlefield is changing. Let's wait and see how the next battle will develop. ”

After saying this, Li Zhenxiang stretched out his finger, nodded at Su Qiyue and said, "Comrade Su Qiyue, you don't have to go to the information office to help for the time being." ”

"I'll give you a temporary appointment to be our operational staff officer. Tell us all your views on the battle situation! ”

Turning his head to look at Liu Heng, Commander Li asked with a smile, "Deputy Chief of Staff Liu, what is your opinion?" ”

Of course, Liu Heng would not have any objections to this, and nodded in agreement with a smile.
