For commanders, how to grasp the key points in the massive battlefield information, rationally allocate combat forces, quickly adjust operational deployments, and issue operational orders in a timely manner are all very important, which have a decisive impact on the outcome of battles. 【Reading.com】

Although more and more advanced computers are able to significantly reduce the intensity of the work of the commander. However, in the foreseeable future, it will not be possible for computers to replace people, analyze the form of the battlefield and judge the trend of the battle situation like people, and it will be impossible to issue combat orders to combat units on behalf of commanders. Computers are tools, not decision-makers. As a result, the scale of the staff officers' establishment has become larger and larger, and the division of staff officers' duties has become more and more detailed. It is not surprising that the command authority of staff officers is getting higher and higher, and it is also the inevitable direction of the development of the military command system. Because the staff officer is not a decision-maker, he must command the operation according to the commander's decision-making. The most important thing that can reflect the commander's decision-making is the operational calculation, so the operational plans of modern warfare are becoming more and more detailed and complicated, and a complete set of operational plans is often divided into several stages. Each stage is aimed at a different operational purpose and combat mission. There are several, if not dozens, of backup plans.

When exercising command authority, staff officers must know what battle plan to use when and when, so the demands on staff officers in war are getting higher and higher.

Strictly speaking. Pei Chengyi is also a staff officer and knows the pain of being a staff officer. Unlike Xiang Linghui, Xiang Linghui came from a combat unit and did not serve as a staff officer before entering the General Staff. Although Pei Chengyi has very strict requirements for staff officers, he never puts too much pressure on staff officers, because he knows that staff officers can only complete their missions when they are mentally relaxed, and the more nervous they are, the easier it is for them to make mistakes.

As the supreme commander of the campaign, most of the time. Pei Chengyi is judging the direction of the battle.

Command work is basically the responsibility of the staff officers, as long as there are no fundamental changes in the operational planning and fighting. Staff officers will be able to find a set of plans that are most suitable for the current battle situation among the various operational plans that have been drawn up long ago, make timely adjustments to the combat operations of the troops, and effectively display the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Pei Chengyi didn't ask everything in detail, and he didn't want to create an overly tense atmosphere.

"General, the battalion of airborne thugs has reached Guwahati."

Pei Chengyi clicked the cross and asked the staff officer to put the image on the "demonstration platform".

The first one said, said, that the battalion commander of the Xiaoma battalion was on the captain's plane.

The main wheels of the transport plane landed on the runway and immediately bounced. The pilot immediately activated the reverse thrust device, forcing the transport aircraft to fall on the runway. The Indian counterattack force is at the front of the runway, and if the 6 fails, the small thug tax must fly over the head of the Indian army. It is inevitable that it will not be attacked by machine guns and man-portable anti-aircraft missiles. A transport plane is not a fighter, let alone a missile, which can be shot down by a heavy machine gun. Pilots can't take risks, they have to succeed the first time! As the main wheels touched the ground again, the pilot activated the emergency braking system. Forcibly let the transport plane reduce. The runway is too short, less than a meter. Although it would be nice to be able to stop in the bungee. Using the emergency brake before the degree drops can easily cause the transport plane to roll over and fall. Fortunately, the pilots had prepared for the worst and did not think about pulling up and go-around after the failure of the 6, so the degree was reduced to a minimum before the 6. As Ganhua taxied on the runway, the nose landing gear had been compressed to the limit. If the degree is a little faster, the nose of the plane will definitely touch the ground, causing the transport plane to roll over and fall.

When the signal of the transport plane landing smoothly appeared on the "display platform", Pei Chengyi let out a sigh.

Thousands of kilometers away, Lieutenant Colonel Li Dongshi rushed out of the transport plane with the first batch of airborne soldiers. After learning about the battlefield situation from Sergeant Major Sheng Jiayu, Li Dongshi took over the command and ordered the battalion headquarters guard platoon to immediately go to the eastern defense line. Help the assault force to crush the counterattacking Indian army.

Although there are only hoe airborne vehicles, they have the value of determining victory or defeat in a battle that is swinging on the balance point.

In the next minute, the other handfights went smoothly 6, and each other airborne combat vehicles and each other's airborne infantry squads were sent.

Because the runway is too short and the fighting around it is not over, the other thugs must wait until the transport plane that was holding 6 before it takes off. Send another airborne infantry squad into battle.

One way or another, the power to decide the outcome of the battle has arrived.

"Adjust the bombing plan, focus on clearing the remnants of the Indian army on the periphery, and provide support for the airborne troops to occupy the base."

After Ji Chengyi issued the combat order, the staff officer immediately adjusted the combat operations.

At this time, the battles in the other two locations had come to an end. Because the geographical conditions are relatively good. The assault troops successfully reached the battlefield. So before the empty sweat coaxes to reach the point. The assault force has been occupied After receiving a new battle report, Pei Chengyi glanced at his watch, 3 o'clock.

From the time the first anti-radiation missile hit the Indian air defense alert mine to the capture of the three most important military targets by the Airborne Forces, it was not yet time for the thugs.

It's not bad, it's not ideal.

According to the operational plan drawn up by the General Staff, the first phase of the offensive operation was for all the battalions of thugs and nephews to reach Guwahati. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "The first phase of the operation is over, and the second phase of the combat operation will begin."

After the staff officers got busy, Pei Chengyi called the staff officers who were responsible for counting the battle losses and battle casualties. Let him come up with the statistics as soon as possible.

Before the start of the second phase of the combat operation, Pei Chengyi left the battle when the thugs in the tactical command were holding a coffee cup. There will be nothing to worry about in the battle that follows.

According to the operational plan drawn up by the General Staff, there are two main aspects to the second phase of combat operations.

It is an all-out air strike led by the Air Force and assisted by the 6th Air Force. At this stage, the Air Force will dispatch nearly two field fighters to carry out focused bombing of strategic targets of the Indian army within the theater of operations. Including theater command center, division and brigade command center, communication center, air defense command center, large military camps, long-range artillery positions, traffic nodes, and so on. After the completion of this round of strikes, the Indian troops stationed in eastern India will lose their battlefield strength and will not be able to form a unified strategic defense line. It will also be impossible to concentrate superior forces against the airborne forces, which are also scattered in combat.

The second is to complete the task of airlifting the campaign. In addition to transporting more artillery of the Airborne Forces and Airborne Corps to the front, it is necessary to deliver engineering troops and engineering materials and equipment to the front line before dawn. Enhance the airlift throughput capacity of Guwahati and Kuchibihar to lay the foundation for the next shipment of war materials, heavy weapons and equipment, the establishment of front-line aviation bases, and the support of the Air Force and the deployment of air strike forces to the front line of the 6th Route. More importantly, only after enhancing the airlift throughput capability can the airborne troops expand the scope of their offensive and uproot the Indian army's military strongholds in southern Tibet.

If Pei Chengyi can rest assured and boldly go to sleep, it is definitely not right.

At least there is one thing that Pei Chengyi can't put at ease, that is, the Indian Air Force that has not yet participated in the war.

The battle began, and the thugs were surprised.

According to pre-war estimates, the Indian Air Force should take part in the battle within minutes of the start of the war, and for this reason, the Air Force has allowed dozens of petty fighters of at least three groups to carry anti-aircraft ammunition to carry out air supremacy combat missions.

The Indian Air Force has been slow to counterattack, and there are only two possibilities. First, the Indian Air Force Command was indeed slow to respond and failed to issue combat orders to combat units at all levels in a timely manner. Second, the Indian Air Force Command has responded and is carrying out a large-scale counterattack in Tsego.

Pei Chengyi would rather believe the latter than the former.

For many years, India attached the most importance to the Air Force. With the painful lessons of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, India has not only imported a large number of advanced fighter planes from the United States, but has also established a more efficient war command system. Even before the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War. The Indian Air Force will also not have a long reaction time for the fighter.

If the Indian Air Force is planning a large-scale counterattack, is the Air Force committing a little too few air supremacy fighters?

When he returned to the combat command center with a cup of hot coffee, Pei Chengyi dispelled this doubt.

In order to coordinate with this combat operation, the Air Force dispatched several large early warning planes to carry out alert patrol missions over the airspace over the western border of China and India and the eastern border of many kilometers wide. AWACS aircraft are capable of detecting fighters at a distance of kilometers. Covers almost the entire Ganges River basin. As soon as the fighters of the Indian Air Force take off from the airfield, they will be presented. In order to be foolproof, the thug Huaxia, who is operating in the southern waters of Sri Lanka. The aircraft carrier battle group dispatched four AWACS aircraft to patrol the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea to monitor southern India. As soon as the Indian fighters deployed in the area take off. will be revealed.

There are only two air bases near Bhopal and Jabalpur in central India, and the fighters deployed in Daoya will not pass through the blade, and they are all relatively backward Russian-made Sun Borantian fighters, which can hardly pose a threat to the air force of the Republic.

The net has been cast, just waiting for the fighter jets of the Indian Air Force to throw themselves into the net.

There really is nothing to worry about. The Air Force deployed a large group of fighter jets to withstand the first round of the Indian Air Force's counterattack, and then more air supremacy fighters were deployed to break the Indian Air Force's will to resist.

I'm not afraid of a surprise attack by the enemy, I'm just afraid that the enemy won't come to the door!

Of course, Pei Chengyi didn't know, and his guess was not entirely accurate.
