Chapter 541: This Can't Be Done
Only after the attacking troops completed a roundabout outflanking and formed a three-sided siege posture on the No. 1 Heights of Jia, did they launch a full-scale attack.
This whole set of tactics is the roundabout outflanking tactic that the troops of the Daheng Unification Army have liked to use in the past two years.
In the past few years, the Daheng Unification Army has actually played various tactics, and even large-scale strategies, in fact, they have come and gone in a roundabout way, but the specific details of the implementation are not the same, but in the final analysis, it is still a roundabout tactic.
Even Lin Ziran himself admitted that the Daheng Unification Army would only play roundabouts!
Because Wu Guanlin led the way in the early days, the new infantry tactics that came up were mainly played with scattered infiltration and roundabout attacks, and the time for grassroots officers to study in school was relatively short, even now, the army officer school under the Daheng United Army still has only a short period of half a year, and most of the time they will graduate early.
It's actually hard to learn too much in such a short period of time, and it's good to be able to learn roundabout tactics.
The limitation of the military quality of grassroots officers is also an important reason for limiting the inability to diversify the tactics of the Daheng unified army.
However, in the past two years, the Daheng unified army has played a roundabout outflanking set, and it has played quite slippery, although sometimes it has a roundabout way and collided headlong with the enemy's main force, but it is still able to force a breakthrough with its own powerful firepower.
So for the time being, the roundabout tactics of the Daheng unified army are still very reliable.
And the army is actually very conservative, and when this set of effects is good, it will not be easily changed.
The same is true of the current garrison division exercises, and the attacking troops are still playing the same trick of outflanking.
Sending part of the forces to contain and part of the forces to make a detour, its main detour force, an infantry regiment and a divisional cavalry regiment, successfully bypassed the interception of other units of the 3rd regiment of the defending side.
The detour was also very smooth, and the troops of one of the battalions managed to make a detour from the north flank, when they were less than 500 meters away from the defender's position, and successfully cut off the direct communication between the first high ground and the other units in the northern position.
A three-bread situation has been formed for the entire Jiayi Heights!
At this time, according to the usual tactics of the Daheng Unified Army, that is, the front-line troops once again launched a large-scale artillery bombardment, and after the large-scale artillery bombardment was over, rapid-fire mortar guns and rifle fire were used for the final attack.
Therefore, after the artillery bombardment, the attacker's artillery fire began to extend, the infantry began to launch a rapid leap charge, and the rapid-fire mortar began to fire rapidly.
At this time, the defenders of the defending side also came out of the anti-artillery hole and began to return fire.
Especially those machine guns, which began to strafe the attacking troops!
Of course, this is just a drill, and the so-called crazy strafing is just a show, firing some drill empty shells......
But ten minutes later, the commander of the attacking side, who was the result of the exercise command, expressed a serious protest, so much so that the exercises were suspended!
Zhan Xinyu Shaoqing, commander of the 1st Garrison Brigade of the Garrison Division, who was responsible for attacking the Jiayi Heights, personally rode to Lin Ziran and complained: "Teacher, less than 10 minutes after a battalion under my command launched an attack, it was ruled that 50 percent of the casualties were lost! ”
"How is this possible, even if they use all their firepower to intercept and shoot at my battalion, it is impossible to cause such a large number of casualties!"
"The referee team is blatantly biased!"
Lin Ziran glanced at him, and then said: "Originally, the opinion given by the referee team was 30% casualties, but I asked the referee team to change the casualty rate to 50%. ”
Hearing Lin Ziran say this, the young Zhan Xinyu's face instantly turned red, and after holding it for a few seconds, he finally cried and mourned: "But...... This casualty rate is too high! ”
In fact, not only Zhan Xinyu has such an idea, in fact, the referee team and many people have the same idea, when Lin Ziran wanted to change the ruling of the referee team before, some people dissuaded him, saying that even if the artillery fire is fierce and the machine gun fire is fierce, it is impossible to cause the casualty rate of an entire battalion to reach more than 50 percent in just five minutes.
Lin Ziran looked around, and then said slowly: "You have all seen the dense fire of machine guns, but you still underestimate the threat of crossfire composed of multiple heavy machine guns!" ”
He pointed directly to the sand table and said: "When the attacking troops launched the final attack from the northwest side, the width of the frontal attack was about five hundred meters, although there was part of the terrain that could be used as cover, and the troops were also dispersed to form multiple waves of attacks, but these attacking troops were still completely under the crossfire of the machine gun pillboxes of the defending troops, and if they forced the attack, they would inevitably suffer large-scale casualties!" ”
Speaking of which, he felt that it was meaningless to just say it verbally, and that they had to be allowed to see with their own eyes the horrors of the heavy machine-gun crossfire.
It is necessary to shoot with live ammunition!
Of course, it is impossible to really hit his own people with live ammunition, so Lin Ziran directly asked the troops to erect numerous wooden stakes on the exercise ground to simulate attacking troops.
The exercise was suspended, and a group of people erected a large number of simulated offensive troops such as various wooden stakes on the preset exercise battlefield!
When everything was ready, Lin Ziran personally ordered the four heavy machine guns deployed here to fire with all their might!
With a click, countless bullets erupted, tearing apart all the wooden stakes in their path!
In the next moment, the brigade commander of the First Garrison Brigade, Zhan Xinyu Shaoqing, was half-open with his mouth open, looking dumbfounded!
Under such dense firepower, there are barbed wire fences along the way, and if the infantry battalion attacking under his command launches a forced attack in actual combat, I am afraid that more than half of the casualties will be light.
However, it is impossible to really brave such dense fire to force a charge in actual combat, it is not an attack at all, but suicide.
During the exercise, the soldiers did not have any fear, and when they were asked to charge and attack, they would charge and attack, and they all looked like they were going home, so they launched a series of multiple waves of attacks during the exercise just now, even if one of the companies attacking in front was completely wiped out, the companies behind could still continue to attack.
In the end, in just ten minutes, more than half of the casualties were judged.
But in actual combat, when the attacker sees such a strong defensive firepower on the opposite side, after the infantry company that rushed up in the first wave suffered heavy casualties, there is a high probability that they will adjust the offensive method, or simply stop the attack and find another way.
Therefore, the difference between the exercise and the actual combat is still very big!
However, it was precisely through today's exercise that the officers present saw the true power of the heavy machine gun.
When they watched a few heavy machine guns use crossfire to knock all the wooden stakes on the preset battlefield, it was natural for them to replace these wooden stakes with enemies in their minds.
It's a defensive weapon!
