Chapter 1277: Bloody Battle Shoal 3
After Liu Qingshan heard this, first of all, he couldn't help but be deeply infected by the spirit of General Erbi Hibit. You know, as a soldier, it is not easy to be fully aware of this, especially if it can consider the problem from the perspective of the entire war situation and forget about death.
However, having said that, Liu Qingshan knew very well in his heart that it would be impossible to deal with the attack of the enemy's entire two armies by relying only on the beach-grabbing landing combat force in General Hibbit's army. In addition, General Hibbit is his own designated successor, so no matter what, Liu Qingshan doesn't want General Hibbit to have any accidents. In addition, General Hibit shrunk his head and led the beach-grabbing landing combat force, which is an extraordinary combat force, and it is one of the best combat units in his ironclad God of War interstellar team. He didn't want to sacrifice such a combat unit just to be able to hold on to that piece of Roman-Barras Shoal, and finally be completely annihilated by the enemy.
From this point of view, Liu Qingshan felt that although General Hibbit was in a commendable spirit, his vision was still relatively short-sighted after all. Sometimes, in many cases, although courage is very important, there is something more important than that, and that is combat strength. In order to defend a defensive position, but to consume the most basic combat troops, let his combat forces contain the losses of Yan zhòng, and his vitality is greatly damaged, such a tactic is actually not clever.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan has long realized that being brave and strong is the same thing. However, whether we can consider the problem from a truly global perspective and find solutions is another question. At this point, of course, he will stick to his ideas. It's just that he knows that if he wants to make his mental work of this General Hibbit work, he has to go through a little tongue.
Liu Qingshan knew very well in his heart that in fact, what General Hibbit said was very reasonable. After all, that Roman-Barras shoal is indeed of great strategic importance. Liu Qingshan has never doubted this.
And, as General Hibbit said, they did pay a heavy price in order to occupy a shoal of Roman-Baras, and they did make great efforts to carry out a beach-grabbing landing operation at last. Now, it is naturally not so easy to imagine that such a beach-grabbing landing operation was carried out so lightly as it was before.
-----------------------
At that time, thanks to General Barras, who commanded the main force of ground warfare, and did his best to launch a fierce attack on the Maca Pass, this attracted the enemy's First Army, which was defending the coastline. Under such circumstances, good conditions were created for General Hibbit's beach-grabbing landing operation. As a result, General Hibbit, without much cost at all, finally succeeded in the beach-grabbing landing operation, and occupied the Roman-Barras shoal in one fell swoop.
But now, time has passed. On the enemy side, they must hate General Hibbit's Marine Corps combat unit to the core, and regard it as a thorn in the flesh, because the position of General Hibbit's Marine Corps combat unit is really too official. It happened to be in the hinterland of the enemy's base camp military base, which naturally made the enemy feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, the main city of Roman Rio, which directly threatens them. That's all that matters.
It can be said that a beach-grabbing landing operation commanded by General Hibbit was finally successful and firmly established, and indeed posed a great threat to the enemy army. At the same time, it was precisely because of that beach-grabbing landing operation that the enemy's deployment was completely disrupted, so that the enemy's side could not look at both the end and the end of the battle, and the position was in chaos, thus creating a very good combat opportunity for its own side. From this point of view, General Hibbit's command of a beach-grabbing landing operation is indispensable, and it is of great significance. The impact is far-reaching.
Therefore, from this point of view, it is understandable that General Hibbit advocated that the Shoal of Roman Barras must be held. After all, once you voluntarily abandon this piece of Roman-Barras Shoal, it is not so easy to regain it from the other party's hands. Moreover, as General Hibbit has just emphasized, once this piece of Roman-Barras shoal is controlled by the enemy, it will be more difficult for the follow-up landing combat troops on their own side to log in again than to ascend to the sky.
--------------------------
As far as Liu Qingshan is concerned, this time in the battle for the Spartar region, from the perspective of the entire strategic pattern, it is his established combat plan to attack from the east and west, advance by land and water, and conduct a three-dimensional joint operation. However, once this piece of Roman Ballas shoal is lost, it will directly affect the subsequent landing of his troops. Liu Qingshan naturally knew this very well in his heart.
However, despite this, it is still the same sentence, preserving strength, and on this basis, consuming the enemy's living combat strength to the greatest extent is the real way to use troops. If, in order to hold on to this piece of Roman Barras Shoal, the entire Marine Corps combat unit that has been successfully logged is buried, then for him, it will definitely outweigh the loss. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood. As long as you have a strong enough combat force, then you can finally win this war.
------------------------
Therefore, in this case, Liu Qingshan plans to consider a combat plan that combines the best of both worlds. On the one hand, they were able to hold on to this piece of Roman Barras Shoal, and on the other hand, they were not allowed to let General Hibbit's Marine combat unit suffer repeated heavy losses. It seems that this is another opportunity to test yourself.
At this moment, Liu Qingshan frowned and thought hard. He knows that this is a very critical moment, and if there is any problem at this step, then it is very likely that he will lose everything. Therefore, he must be cautious, he must think left and right, and at the same time, he must not mess with himself, but also remain calm. As a commander-in-chief, now is really the time to test him.
At this moment, General Hibbit has been in another point of the long-range communication system for a long time, and he has not heard Liu Qingshan's voice, so he can't help but wonder a little, and then, General Hibbit said: "Commander-in-chief, why don't you speak?" Isn't it feeling a little uncomfortable? "
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he felt a little crying and laughing, but he still said slowly: "General Hibbit, let me think about it again, let me think about it." You know, that's a tricky question. If we don't handle it well, if we are not careful, we will lose everything. It should be said that now is a critical moment, a strategic node. If we fight this battle well, then the initiative of the entire battle situation will be completely in our own hands. However, if this battle is lost, then it is certain that we will lose the initiative in the whole battle, and even lose control. The consequences are unimaginable. "
When General Hibbit heard this, he nodded slightly. Generally speaking, no matter how great the difficulties encountered, no matter how strict the problems encountered, no matter how powerful the enemy he faced, no matter how cunning the opponent he faced, he could always speak calmly to the point of talking and laughing freely, rarely using this kind of flustered situation, and at the same time, he rarely hesitated so much, it seems that the current situation really makes the commander-in-chief very difficult.
However, General Hibbit knew Liu Qingshan very well. He knew that at such a time, no one could disturb Liu Qingshan casually. Many excellent combat plans and many excellent ideas were just thought out of Liu Qingshan's thinking as if no one was around and there was nothing else to do. General Hibbit was well aware of this.
-----------------------
Now, Liu Qingshan did not hang up the long-range communication changes to General Hibit. He knew that at this moment, on General Hibbit's side, the situation was still very pennant. In this way, it means that he must come up with a combat plan in the shortest possible time. Yes, time waits for no one. For this, Liu Qingshan knows very well in his heart. target
However, it is naturally very difficult for Xiu to make such a heavy decision in such a short period of time. After all, this is a matter of great importance and far-reaching implications. If there is a slight difference, it will have a huge impact on the entire battle situation. It's a matter of success or failure.
However, Liu Qingshan knew that no matter what, one thing was certain, that is, General Hibbit's Marine Corps, no matter what, could not defend this piece of Roman Barras Shoal. Because, in the face of the fierce attack of the two armies that the enemy has already pounced on, if it is only to defend to the death, this piece of Roman Barras Shoal is tantamount to throwing itself into a net and asking for hardship.
However, if they give up lightly, as General Hibbit said, the enemy, after occupying this Roman-Barras Shoal, will inevitably send heavy troops to defend it, and it will not be easy to take it from the hands of the other party again.
-----------------------
At this time, Liu Qingshan's thinking seemed to have traveled through time and space, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly received guidance from heaven. Immediately, he immediately picked up the long-range communication phone, and continued: "General Hibbit, now, I formally order you to retreat this Marine Corps combat unit in your hands immediately. However, the thorough direction was not to rendezvous with General Barras, but to retreat near the coastline. That is, the area where you were carrying out the beach-grabbing landing operation at the beginning. "
After hearing this, General Hibbit couldn't help but feel for a while. What, to retreat near the coastline where the beach-grabbing landing operation was carried out? In that case, wouldn't it be a last battle? This goes to the sea, and beyond that, there is a vast sea, and there is nowhere to retreat. In such a situation, once the enemy attack comes, then will they not have to retreat into the sea?
After thinking of this, General Hibbit pondered for a while, and then continued: "Commander-in-chief, this, this, hehe, what kind of combat plan is this?" In my opinion, even if you have to rendezvous with General Barras, you can't retreat to the shoreline. Because if that's the case, behind us, it's the vast sea. If the enemy attackes, where are we going? Do you really want to retreat into the sea to feed the fish? "
-------------------------
After Liu Qingshan heard this, he smiled, and then said: "General Hibitt, naturally I will not let you retreat to the sea to feed the fish." Do you think I'm really that cruel? Now, I can tell you that our other three long-range heavy battleships have departed from the Moon Bay military base and are now sailing along the Gatsbit River toward the Andaman Sea. It is estimated that, at best, in another hour, the Andaman Sea will be reached. In such a situation, your Marine Corps combat unit retreats to the vicinity of the coastline, where it will build up a defensive position with all its might, and thus will be able to gain a foothold there. Then, when the three battleships arrived, they were able to carry out the landing operation smoothly and create the conditions.
"At that time, your combat strength will be significantly improved, and your combat strength will definitely be greatly improved. And this time, one of them, a long-range heavy battleship, specially carried twenty of the most advanced heavy tanks. In this way, you will have a certain number of heavy weapons. It plays an extremely important role in substantially improving your combat effectiveness. "
-------------------------
So, after thinking of this, Liu Qingshan used the long-range communication system and said earnestly to the general Hibit: "General Hibit, I think there is one thing that you must understand. That is, in the current situation, we must first preserve our own strength as the primary purpose of the war. I actually understand your mood very well. After all, as you said, that Roman-Barras shoal is really important to us. I also understand this.
"Nevertheless, I can tell you here unequivocally that, on the one hand, we will not block the Roman-Barras Shoal. But on the other hand, we can't hold on there. In this way, the solution I just mentioned can solve this problem in a certain way. I don't know how General Hibbit is? ”
Until now, General Hibbit seems to have some specific intentions of the combat plan mentioned by Liu Qingshan, the commander-in-chief of the civilian administration...... Turning to what the commander-in-chief said, now, from his Moon Bay naval base, there are three long-range battleships heading towards the Andaman Sea. In this case, if nothing else happens, after two or three hours, the Andaman can be reached.
Under these circumstances, in accordance with the operational intentions of the commander-in-chief, his own Marine Corps combat unit first withdrew from the defensive positions now announced by itself, and then, in the direction of the coastline of the Roman Ballas Shoal. Then, where the valley lords the defensive line, gaining a foothold, the hardness is coming, reinforcements of the combat troops. In this way, naturally, he will be able to increase the combat strength of his own troops, and General Hibbit seems to have understood this.
However, despite this, then again, even if the three Long-Earthquake Heavy Battleships were really loaded with a large number of combat troops, even including some heavy tanks and other heavy combat units, they were still not very strong compared to the enemy's two group armies.
What's more critical is that after Haoqi planted a coastline, once the enemy army attacked on a large scale, then they had no other way to retreat. Behind him is the Andaman Sea, so in that case, it will really be a kind of last fight. Generally speaking, this kind of strategy and tactics should be resolutely avoided. However, this time, why did the commander-in-chief Liu Qingshan do the opposite? What is the mystery of this?
-----------------------
Immediately, under this circumstance, General Hibbit gave up all his doubts and said to Liu Qingshan: "Commander-in-chief, although I have some understanding of the battle plan you just proposed, I am worried that in the face of a large-scale attack by the enemy, if there is any accident, where will we retreat?" You know, behind us is the endless Andaman Sea. Stepping back, you'd really have to be driven out into the sea to feed the fish. ”
It should be said that Liu Qingshan did not give in-depth consideration to this General Hibbit's remarks. However, before that, in fact, he had already calculated, even if there were some risks, but he also felt that this risk was also worth the risk.
