Chapter 17 Chapter Eight (3)

Jiao Shouzhi pointed to several computers, "After twelve o'clock, the interference never stopped. If we arrive before 3:30, there are only three hours left." Tang Long said: "The purpose of this long-term uninterrupted electronic interference is to make us unable to communicate. Why can this order be issued? I feel that there is something wrong with this order, at least the higher-ups have misjudged it. I think that after their electronic interference stops , state our reasons and say that it is best not to move a single soldier at this time." Jiao Shouzhi worried: "Isn't this disobedience to the order? You know, Commander Fan and Master Huang... Well, if the regiment doesn't follow the order, it will cause serious consequences."

Tang Long said: "The decision is up to you. Anyway, I came here to reform. I'm afraid I'll have to take off my military uniform once the exercise is over." Jiao Shouzhi said: "Orders must be carried out. Send a reinforcement company there first, and the main force will stay here." Tang Long shook his head and said, "You, if there is something wrong with this order, isn't this giving someone a reinforcement company for nothing? Forget it, let it be like this." At this time, the war room of the Coordination Office has noticed the abnormality on the battlefield.

Zhao Zhongrong stared at the map of the movements of the first-line troops of the red and blue armies, and said in a trembling voice: "Wake up the commander, wake up the commander quickly." A staff officer said: "What is the Red Army doing? The Second Regiment abandoned Area Four, the Tank Regiment went to two places where there were no infantry, and the Artillery Regiment did not concentrate in the center. Everything is in chaos." Chen Haoruo walked in wearing a coat, looked at it, and his face became ugly. Zhao Zhongrong said: "Fan Yingming's approach is too much. Isn't he going to preemptively strike? He forgot the premise of the exercise."

Chen Haoruo threw off his coat, "Look at what the Blue Army is doing!" Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Chen Haoruo scolded loudly: "Playing the piano indiscriminately! What did Fan Yingming do? If there was a fight, wouldn't one regiment and two tank battalions be wiped out?" A staff officer ran in, "Report! The Blue Army Command is calling." Chen Haoruo said with a dark face: "Read!" The staff officer read: "Military Exercise Coordination Committee: It has been confirmed that I have deciphered the code of the Red Army. Now the Second Regiment of the Red Army, most of the Tank Regiment, and most of the First Regiment have been mobilized by me; our army plans to launch an attack on the Red Army defense zone at four o'clock in the morning. "

Chen Haoruo snatched the telegram to read it, walked a few steps, slumped on a sofa, smiled bitterly and said, "Master A is about to suffer a big loss again. How can a well-equipped Class A division make such low-level mistakes repeatedly! It's incredible." Zhao Zhongrong also went over to sit down and said, "Commander, Division A is the face of our army! This time is different from the last time. The last time was an internal exercise within our own army." Chen Haoruo closed his eyes and listened.None of them noticed that Fang Yingda had entered the war room. Zhao Zhongrong continued: "Commander, it's time to remind Division A. If this continues, Division A's combat effectiveness will lose half, and the results of the exercise will not be changed."

"Nonsense!" Fang Yingda turned around abruptly with the Blue Army's report telegram in his hand, "Your mountain-topic thinking is terrible! If this is a war, can you know the enemy's deployment? This exercise started well, electronic war and information war together.” Chen Haoruo said: "Director Zhao loves this army too much. Not to mention him, I can't accept it emotionally all of a sudden. Why didn't Division A take any precautionary measures in advance!" Fang Yingda sighed: "This is more convincing than any other theory. We want to remind the Red Army, can it be done? They may not be able to control the troops now. Director Zhao, please inform the observation group and invite them Also come and feel the electronic warfare and information warfare launched by the Chinese military itself."

After Zhao Zhongrong left, a lieutenant general and a major general sat side by side on the sofa, staring at the big screen with anxious eyes.Fang Yingda said to himself: "Into the ground battle, the Red Army may still have a chance." On the screen, several red lines gradually approached blue traps. In the eyes of several commanders of the Red Army, this dark night was too long.At four o'clock, after they received the order from the Coordination Office to start the exercise, there was no news from the outside world.Accompanied by the faint sound of cannons, they sat and sat silently until they became a few clay sculptures with empty eyes.Staff officers and microcomputer operators watched one five-minute gap after another of electronic jamming flow through their fingertips, unable to get in touch with a unit.

At five o'clock, the staff came in in a panic and reported: "The Military Coordination Office reported the first battle report." Fan Yingming stood up and said, "Read it." The staff officer said: "The second regiment of your department was ambushed by two regiments of the blue army in the third area, and one and a half battalions were wiped out; the first and third battalions of your tank regiment were captured by the anti-tank troops of the blue army in Heilongtan and Baiyutan respectively. Encircle and annihilate..." Huang Xing'an rushed over to snatch the telegram, "Is it wrong? The second regiment is in the second area, and the tank regiment is in the third area. How could it be wiped out?"

Fan Yingming walked back and forth with his chin in his hand, and suddenly said loudly to Huang Xing'an and Jian Fan, who were still entangled in the correctness of the telegram: "You should face the reality! Staff Cao, report to the Military Coordination Committee, because I completely failed in the electronic warfare , has ordered the Air Force to turn around at 5:20." Jian Fan exclaimed: "Doing this is equivalent to giving the blue army the air supremacy for three days. How can you do this?" Fan Yingming sternly shouted: "Stop fighting! If the Air Force doesn't move, we will lose all air supremacy in this exercise." He moved the walkie-talkie from the corner of the war room to the table, picked up the receiver and shouted: "Fox Fox! , I am an eagle, fox fox, I am an eagle, please answer."

Li Tie's voice came out of the microphone: "I am a fox, I am a fox, something seems wrong, what happened?" Fan Yingming said: "Try to inform all the troops as quickly as possible. From 8 o'clock today, use the No. 2 code to communicate, and order all the troops to quickly retreat to the second line of defense." Huang Xing'an said: "You can't give up on the front line, how can you make such a decision? This is to defend the country!" Fan Yingming became tough, "I am the commander of the Red Army, and I am responsible for all military operations. If I am wrong, I can go to a military court. We can no longer argue."

Liu Dongxu glared at Fan Yingming, "Xiao Fan! You can't play with your attitude. The war is not going well, and everyone is in a bad mood." Fan Yingming said: "Political commissar, the password must have been deciphered. If I don't give me a computer to cut off my power, the whole line will collapse." At this time, a huge roar sounded over the command post. Huang Xing'an and Jian Fan both ran towards the door. Fan Yingming smiled bitterly and said: "This is to bomb our airport. We prepared two backup password systems in advance, but did not change the password. The responsibility lies with me. The main reason is to underestimate the enemy." Liu Dongxu still had some fantasies in his heart, and persuaded: "Didn't you say that we must suffer a little loss in the early stage of the exercise? Don't worry, this is just the beginning." Fan Yingming sighed: "Zhu Haipeng and the others have completely taken the initiative on the battlefield. This is caused by our mistakes. I don't know how they are laughing at us!" Zhu Haipeng still couldn't laugh at this time, and the result of the battle was not as he expected. He turned to the monitor and said, "Is there really only one reinforcement company in Area 4?" Chu Tianshu said: "It has been verified several times." Zhu Haipeng turned around and said: "After all, it is a famous Class A division with a lot of talents. The first regiment of Division A is Fan Yingming's direct line unit. It is a bit surprising that we did not carry out our orders unconditionally." Chang Shaole said: "Don't worry." Zhu Haipeng said: "I'm not in a hurry. They were able to report to the plane to transfer when the battle had just started and they couldn't communicate with the troops. The second regiment was surrounded by us, but they were able to escape half of them. It can't be underestimated." Chang Shaole said: "Then let's go all out and take advantage of the chaos to kill a few battalions of them, so that the balance of troops can be achieved, and we won't suffer a big loss in the next step." Zhu Haipeng said: "If they have set up the second line of defense, it will be difficult to break through. The air force is ordered to return midway, and only three bombers are sent to carry out the mission of bombing the airport. The regiment and the third regiment kept two companies to guard against the remnants of the enemy's second regiment, and the rest were put into the third area to encircle and wipe out the enemy's main force." At dawn, the Blue Army's ground forces and air force attacked the Red Army's No. 3 area in several routes. Tang Long had been watching the sand table after the blue army fought and the bombers flew over.Because Jiao Shouzhi saw the fact that Tang Long had saved a group with his own eyes, he felt reliant in his heart, and he also watched the sand table with Tang Long. Jiao Shouzhi said: "This password has been broken, what should we do next?" Tang Longdao: "We must completely abandon the front line, relying on the advantage of our division's good mobility to distance ourselves from the blue army, and form a new defense system on the second line. My opinion is that we should sacrifice another company to cover the main force of the whole regiment from the third line quickly." The area retreats to Area 1." Jiao Shouzhi said hesitantly: "If the teacher didn't think about it, what should we do?" Tang Long said: "When the air force is bombed, it will be your first regiment's turn next time. Zhu Haipeng has already broken up the second regiment, and he will definitely concentrate on eating your regiment. If the first regiment is eaten, this battle will be over." No more calls. Listen to me." Jiao Shouzhi said, "Then let's retreat quickly." Tang Long said: "If you don't retreat, you can only be a prisoner. Report this retreat plan to the military headquarters as soon as possible." A group of main forces had just withdrawn from the original position, and the blue army's black bomber group had already flew over the original position at ultra-low altitude.Jiao Shouzhi looked at the position completely covered by gunpowder smoke with a binoculars in a forest, and said, "Damn it, you really have become Zhuge Liang who knows things like a god." Sitting on the ground, Tang Long cut open a can of yellow peaches with a knife, ate it, and said confidently: "Fan Ying cooperated with me early, and there will be no big defeat today. In modern local wars, defense only pays attention to On the front line, you will definitely suffer. Zhu Haipeng is being polite, it’s early, if we start now, we will send airborne troops to blow up our oil depots while our command system is paralyzed, and we will be trapped to death if we are sleepy." Jiao Shouzhi said: "If you say you are fat, you will breathe. What do you think we should do next? Should we contact the headquarters first?" Tang Long said: "This forest is not bad. I think we'll stay here for a long time. When it's daylight, we will retreat. We can only wait for the bombing. Once the air superiority is lost, if we can hide from the bombing, that's great." Victory. Didn't Saddam bury tanks and planes in the late Gulf War?" Jiao Shouzhi said: "All you talk about is frustration. What is Saddam Hussein? The head of a defeated country. We are not in such a miserable state now." Tang Long hugged the box and took a few sips, "This military canned yellow peach tastes really good. It's a pity that we don't even have a decent tool to open the can. Eating the canned food for an extra minute or two may lead to the victory of a war." Negative. You underestimate Saddam Hussein too much. This is called being able to bend and stretch. In time, he will be a tiger in the Gulf region. If it is not afraid that he will come out to hurt people again, what is the purpose of sanctioning them?" Jiao Shouzhi sighed, "I wonder how Lao Fan is doing now?" Fan Yingming felt even worse at this time. Li Tielai reported to the command post: "Except for one regiment whose whereabouts are missing and cannot be notified, the rest of the frontline troops have been notified." Then, as the Blue Army stopped electronic jamming, the Red Army's chain of command returned to normal.As soon as the command system was restored, Huang Xing'an quickly found out his family background. Huang Xing'an took a stack of telegrams, walked up to Fan Yingming and said, "Xiao Fan, your estimate just now was a little pessimistic. The Blue Army tried their best, but our loss is not too big. In this front-line area, We can't give up just yet." Fan Yingming said bluntly: "The front line must be given up." Liu Dongxu also felt that it would be too embarrassing to give up the front line like this, and persuaded: "Yingming, you should listen to Mr. Huang's opinion before making a decision. Three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang." Huang Xing'an said: "We must not be intimidated by their three axes. The blue army has been attacking with all its strength for nearly four hours. Except for the second regiment and the tank regiment, which suffered heavy losses, the rest of the troops are basically intact. From Looking at the total strength of the battlefield, although we lost nearly 2,000 people, we are still nearly 2,000 more than the blue army. The current situation on the front line is that, except for some positions in the fourth area and the third area, the rest of the first-line positions are in the We have it under control." Fan Yingming argued: "From now on, we will not be able to gain air supremacy for nearly 70 hours. If we stick to the front line, we can only be beaten passively. After three days, the situation will be different." Jian Fan continued: "You have to believe in our division's close-combat capabilities. Although the second regiment suffered heavy losses, the blue army used two and a half regiments without hurting its bones. Besides, the current battle plan is still your genius the day before yesterday." It's settled." Huang Xing'an immediately said: "Air superiority is very important, but we can't be superstitious about air superiority. Now that we have entered the stage of ground combat, as long as we hold on to them tightly, air superiority is not the key." Liu Dongxu also expressed his opinion: "Xiao Fan, the exercise has only started for a few hours, and withdrawing from the front line so quickly will have a great impact on the morale of the troops." The disadvantages of the joint command exercise by the four giants of the Red Army command post have been fully exposed.If Jian Fan remained at the command post, even if Fan Yingming won the support of Liu Dongxu, he would not be able to use organizational principles to implement his own combat thinking.The situation is gradually deteriorating, and it is no longer possible to retreat. Fan Yingming said with difficulty: "I reserve my opinion, follow the organizational principles, implement the decision of the steering committee, and stick to the front line." With a glance, he caught Jian Fan, "Head Jian, do you still remember your self-recommendation?" The promise you made the day you became chief of staff?" Jian Fan was stunned, "You, what guarantee do you say?" Fan Yingming looked at Huang Xing'an and said, "Master, did Commander Jian guarantee that the Second Regiment would never have any problems? The Chief of Staff of the Second Regiment and Section Chief Zhang of the Combat Section obviously did not have the ability to command my right-wing clique to fight. Commander Jian, as the chief of staff of the Red Army, went to the Second Regiment to command the Second Regiment and the three independent battalions, do you think it will work?" Jian Fan looked at Huang Xing'an. Huang Xing'an hesitated for a while, looked at Liu Dongxu and said, "Political Commissar, what do you think?" Liu Dongxu said: "I don't know the specific military work, but I can also feel that the command of the second regiment is insufficient. The first regiment also received false orders last night, but they did not follow them blindly." Huang Xing'an said to Jian Fan: "The right wing will be handed over to you, hand over the work, and go after lunch. We will send the order to the relevant troops immediately." Fan Yingming immediately said: "The situation of the battle may deteriorate at any time, you should have lunch in the second regiment." Jian Fan walked out of the command post and cursed angrily: "Grandma, kill the donkey. Let's all play, who can't play!" Seeing Jian Fan coming out, Qin Yanan immediately went up to meet him and asked, "Chief of Staff Jian, I heard that the battle is not going well, is it true?" Jian Fan slowed down and smiled strangely: "It's okay. In four hours, nearly one regiment was lost. Is it okay? Just stick to the front line." Qin Yanan chased after him and asked, "Where are you going?" Jian Fan raised his legs and got into the jeep, "Lead the death squad and hit it against the rock. I helped but failed." Qin Yanan watched the jeep rush down the mountain, and felt worried for Fan Yingming.Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw the unshaven Fan Yingming come out of the bunker. Even though he had been in the sea, his face was still red, and he asked with a smile: "I heard that the situation is not good, how do you feel as a commander?" Fan Yingming suppressed it for too long, and couldn't help but burst out: "It's hard to say. Commander? Many times, I'm just the hand that issues orders." Qin Yanan followed Fan Yingming, and asked with concern: "Just now I heard from Chief of Staff Jian that the front line could not be defended at all, but he insisted on defending it, and sent him to lead the Death Squad." Fan Yingming was slightly surprised, and then smiled, "You are really smart! It's amazing to be able to use your scheming on the battlefield. I'm really sorry that I forced you to stay here. At this time, you reporters should stand with the victor ." Qin Yanan said: "It's more interesting to stay. You, a Class A division, won't be defeated to the point of being out of control." Fan Yingming said: "Maybe I will take you as a trophy and give it to others." Another round of air strikes by the Blue Army began.
