Chapter 1003: Under the gun
Liu Weihong said with a smile, "You kid, you have caught the key point all of a sudden." The 12 Brigade was to expand their tank unit by adding a battalion of tanks. ”
"That's not a heavy mechanized unit anymore. Li Mu was surprised.
"Heavy mountain mechanized troops, to be exact. Liu Weihong said, "In addition to equipping the southwest and western Z troops, the northwest is another major equipment direction." A batch of new equipment specially developed for highland and mountain operations will be put into service one after another. ”
"In this way, my Lao Li's kick can be regarded as a kick on the iron plate. ”
"There's no shame in losing, your border regiment is not enough to stuff people's teeth. Liu Weihong said with a smile, it is rare to see Li Mu deflated.
Li Mu said, "It's an iron plate, and I'm going to kick a few holes for him." That's it, hanging. ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Dakang, Li Hangpeng and Xue Meng returned one after another, and Li Mu and them gathered around the sand table and began to discuss the operational deployment.
Zhao Yiyun is on the way back, and the more specific situation needs to be explained after he returns. But I am basically certain that the so-called long-range mobile combat exercise of the 12th Brigade is a ploy that is both true and false. Li Mu said.
Zhao Dakang asked, "How do you understand this word?"
Li Mu pointed to the Baixue Scenic Area, "Zhao Yiyun found a new type of light tank of a company here, I learned about it, the 12th Brigade has newly entered service with two new light tanks. That is, they added at least twenty tanks. ”
"Commander, you're talking about an increase. Xue Meng's reaction was very piecemeal.
"That's right, it's the increase. Li Mudao, "It is certain that their 59th Tank Battalion is indeed on the way to maneuver. ”
Xue Meng's brows suddenly furrowed, "The most important question now is not that the strength of the Blue Army is far beyond our expectations, but what is the purpose of this newly emerged light Tan force." ”
He pointed to the sand table and said, "Their location is deep in the southwest of the Snow Scenic Area, which is a strange position, and it is neither a suitable position for sorties, nor a place for the reserves to stay. Even if it is used as bait, Huang Youquan is really willing to do it, and this position is not the best choice. ”
Zhao Dakang said in a deep voice, "The Snow Scenic Area is a very primitive place, and there are not many artificial facilities there. I guess the 12th Brigade probably didn't even know that the place they entered was under the jurisdiction of the scenic area. In the big picture, this position is indeed puzzling. However, you have found that if you look at the location of our regiment's command post alone, and then look at the location of this light tank force......"
Li Hangpeng's brows jumped sharply, and he said in surprise, "How can it be prepared for our command post? How can they know the location of our command post?"
Everyone can see that a county road passes through the Snow Scenic Area and goes northwest, and the regimental command post is in this direction. There are roads, and for the light Tan troops, it is easy to run dozens of kilometers.
The 701st Regiment was able to use the Snow Scenic Area to conduct infiltration reconnaissance, but did the 12th Brigade really not know the situation in the Snow Scenic Area and would not use the roads in the Snow Scenic Area to bypass the entire defensive position and go directly to the Red Army command post from the flank?
Absolutely!
"How did the location of our command post leak out?" Xue Meng was stunned and looked up at the top of his head in disbelief, "Satellite reconnaissance? Aren't they scoundrels?"
Li Mu said in a deep voice, "There is no point in pursuing these now, even if there is evidence to prove that the 12th Brigade used superior reconnaissance forces in violation of regulations, it can only be a war of words." ”
"The top priority is to shift positions, we can't expose the chain of command to the enemy before the fight starts. Li Hangpeng hit the nail on the head and pointed out the most urgent thing.
Li Mu pondered.
Everyone's mood was not easy, and it was depressing to find that their command center was right in front of the opponent's gun muzzle, when they were supposed to be studying how to adjust their deployment to deal with the sudden increase in the number of blue tank troops.
With a decision in his heart, Li Mu said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, at least we have at least two days to adjust." Now the question is, what is the purpose of this light tank force that has emerged. Our chain of command? That's speculation. Is there any other possibility?"
As he spoke, the baton in Li Mu's hand pointed to the place where the Blue Army's light tank troops were located, and slowly moved towards the defensive position along the route between the mountains where vehicles could pass, and said, "If their target is not a command post, where will it be? The weight of the new light tank is much lighter than that of the 59, that is, there are many places that we originally thought could not pass through the tank, and they can pass through." ”
"Looking at it this way, their other possible purpose is to attack the flank of our main defensive position as a reserve armored assault force?" Zhao Dakang's eyes stared at the baton, and an offensive line was formed in his mind.
Xue Meng frowned and said, "There is such a possibility, but how do I think that Huang Youquan will not put on such a simple attack posture." ”
Li Mu said, "Although Huang Youquan is arrogant, he is not a showman, he has real talent and learning." At that time, he was the squad leader of the experimental class. He has great experience in the study of new tactics. The ability to command tactics has been recognized. ”
"Let's analyze it from another angle, for us, what is the weak point of the 12th Brigade, and what are they most afraid of?" Li Mu asked.
Xue Meng didn't think about it, and said, "Of course, it's a logistics supply line." Those iron lumps, without oil, are just a pile of scrap iron. Their artillery regiment, without ammunition supply, could only carry out artillery preparation on a base basis. ”
"The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first. The main combat unit of the 12th Brigade is still on the way to maneuver, so what about their logistics units? There are so many vehicle personnel, until now, I have not received any information about this. Li Mu said.
Zhao Dakang said, "It must be on the way to maneuver, otherwise it would be impossible for the reconnaissance personnel we sent out to find it without the slightest discovery." ”
"If, in the middle of the maneuver, according to their plan, the attack is to be carried out, at least five hours after the director's office gives the order to start fighting, or even longer. This is a lost opportunity. Huang Youquan would never have been unaware of the trouble he would encounter when the logistics troops were not in place to launch an attack. Li Mu said.
Li Hangpeng said, "The head of the regiment is right. It takes a lot of time for the logistics troops to arrive at the predetermined place at least before the attacking troops, to establish front-line supply bases, supply lines, and to adjust the supply plan. ”
Xue Meng slowly understood, "Regiment Commander, do you suspect that their logistics troops have already arrived, and it is very likely that they are hiding in the Snow Scenic Area?"
Zhao Dakang suddenly said, "It's very possible." From the perspective of logistics supply, the northwest area of Baixue Scenic Area is the most suitable place as a logistics supply base. This position became even more pronounced as soon as the offensive posture of the 12 Brigade unfolded. Fuck, these bastards think they'll be able to break through our forward positions and enter the depths soon after the war starts!"
