"This move again? Start the backup equipment, the main attacking force will attack the whole army, the second echelon will follow up, the fast advancing group will follow up after the first echelon and the second echelon have opened their mouths, and the reserve team will be ready to respond." After being informed by Marshal Ustinov, he issued several orders with confidence. First, use the first echelon to open a breakthrough or carry out a penetrating attack, and then use the subsequent echelon to carry out high-speed, multi-channel, and large-depth attacks to achieve breakthroughs and expansion. This is the traditional way of fighting in the Soviet Union, the big deep assault...

   The conditions for the implementation of the large-scale and in-depth campaign, the attacker must have a larger military advantage, and at the same time have a powerful mobile force to undertake the task of rapid breakthrough and expansion. In the past two days, the red side under the command of Ustinov has been there, so he did not hesitate to crush the blue side's position with the strongest attitude, until all the resistance of the blue side's troops was crushed.

"Attack the connection point of the red team's combat echelon with all the firepower. The air force is concentrated outside the ground air defense circle. Don't confront Ustinov head-on, delay the opponent's assembly time, and the allied army will attack the red team's first echelon." When Serov issued the electronic interference, he quickly issued a second order.

"Ustinov forgot one thing, I am also a national defense commissar, I know my country's army, and I also know about the deep assault!" Shelov shouted to all the combat staff, "The most important thing is, I know very well. he."

  The big deep assault is not only familiar to Ustinov and perfected, but Serov is also very familiar with it. Familiarity with the entire country makes up for the biggest shortcoming of the blue side. Maybe let Serov command the NATO army and resist it for two or three days. But will he betray the Soviet Union? If he was young, he might have met, and now he can't get rid of more Mao sisters, and there is no such opportunity.

Serov chose to attack. Once all the preparation steps of the Soviet Union were completed and the huge ground force was activated, it was impossible for the blue side to win. You must know that the general political commissar did not contribute at all. The ground forces of the Soviet Union are stronger than in history. Much more, in this case, once Ustinov is activated, the Blue Army will be crushed.

  In the Kremlin, some surviving old marshals watched the whole exercise from the perspective of God through live connection.

"Yura knew every step of the big and deep assault, as well as the direction of the attack, the required preparation time and the speed of the assault, so he attacked first before the defense minister moved, wanting to disrupt the deployment of the defense minister." Bagramyan The marshal carefully observed the situation of the entire battlefield, and finally shook his head and said, "But even if this is the case, he has almost no chance of victory. It is already a super-level performance to be able to use it to the fullest."

"It can't be said that Lan Fang's main equipment is in the air force field, and the Alliance Army has been serving as an imaginary enemy force. In fact, it is stronger than the general army." Another old marshal, Cui Kefu, who had not yet entered the coffin, said, "The exercise is only for the exercise. It's just the beginning, let's take a look first, it's still a long time."

  Sheloff's EMI works, but not much. Just like the general political commissar knows the defense minister well, the defense minister also knows the general political commissar very well. For example, electromagnetic interference, which the KGB is good at, has already been extended to the entire Soviet army by Ustinov. After starting the standby high-power radio , the command system of the red side has been fully restored.

   But immediately, Ustinov received reports from various units, and many units were attacked by surface-to-surface missiles. Suffered a bad loss, "The original plan is as usual, the first echelon will conduct a forced march and tear open."

"The Union Army is the first echelon, the Warsaw Pact coalition is the second echelon, and the Greek Defense Forces, the Cheka Division and the KGB Division are the reserve teams. They are deployed as scheduled to launch a large and deep assault." Serov gave orders to the troops by phone, "Don't forget, my subordinates are also the Warsaw Pact army, and I will make a big and deep assault, and I will..."

"All the forces affiliated to the Air Force were launched, and the ground air defense forces followed the first echelon to block the superior air force equipped by the blue side, creating a 200-kilometer sheltered area. The surface-to-surface missile force counterattacked and destroyed the blue side's airport." Ustinov is also constantly adjusting and deploying at his own headquarters. The Su-27 fighter jets equipped by Serov's blue team are more threatening than their own MiG-29 fighter jets, but they are useless heroes and are very dependent on the airport. .

  Any battle is determined by ground power, and it is impossible for any aircraft to stay in the sky forever. Knowing this, Ustinov immediately made targeted deployments. From the attack of the first wave of ground missiles from the blue side, he realized that Serov was not preparing to come over to go through the motions, but to win.

"The army, not the division, should be regarded as the main combat unit on the battlefield, and the "deep attack" should be regarded as the key to victory. It is required that the troops carrying out the deep attack must quickly cross the front line of their own and charge the enemy in depth to engage the selected enemy. , destroy the enemy's follow-up echelons in motion; at the same time, due to the obvious risks of using troops in the enemy's rear areas, air-land warfare must achieve full coordination and unity with the air force to implement battlefield air interdiction and offensive air support." Serov said in After the alliance army's imaginary enemy force, a different change began.

That is the air-land battle that NATO is still groping. Unlike NATO, the ground armed forces in his hands are not as disparate as that between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Although the ground forces of the blue side are not as good as those of the red side, there are definitely some fights. . So he used the Soviet Union's own deep assault as a cover for the air-land battle, making Ustinov think that he was going to attack him.

"No, this deployment of the General Political Commissar is not a big and deep assault. This is a strategic idea that NATO is still groping for, NATO's air-ground battle!" Deputy Chief of General Staff General Ahromeyev combined the situation on both sides and made a decision. After realizing his own judgment, he suddenly stood up and said, "The General Political Commissar's troops are equipped with Warsaw Pact troops, as well as the high-ranking KGB Inner Guards, the Blue Side's traditional imaginary enemy troops, the Allied Forces, and the ground forces and the Soviet troops of the same number are the same. It is equal or even more than the ordinary NATO troops, because the blue side has few troops, and the air force assigned to the blue side before the exercise is skewed. If the general political commissar follows NATO's operational thinking, this is a team with NATO and China. About double-benefit troops."

"Huh?" Brezhnev raised his head, thought about what Akhromeyev said, and said slowly, "Yura knows the Ministry of Defense very well, although the command may be worse than Ustinov's. Less, but in modern warfare, with the assistance of many staff officers, mistakes can be avoided, and it seems that Comrade Ustinov will usher in a hard battle."

  Brezhnev of course hopes that the red side will win, because the red side represents the Soviet Union. If the blue side wins, doesn’t it mean that the Soviet Union can’t beat NATO? But he didn't want to interfere with the commanders on both sides, and wanted to know what the outcome would be in the situation that was closest to actual combat.

   Time passed little by little, and within four hours, the situation map in front of Brezhnev was updated, and other senior Soviet commanders were also waiting here, waiting for the final result.

   In the early morning of the third day, the two armies of the red and blue sides using the same strategy collided, with a large and deep assault on a large and deep assault. Fighting was carried out within a range of hundreds of kilometers, and battle reports were continuously sent to the Kremlin. Because of the huge losses on both sides, more than five divisions had withdrawn from the exercise.

   "If this is a real battle, we will be in big trouble." Brezhnev said with a heavy heart to many old marshals, many people here have experienced the Great Patriotic War. The loss of more than 70,000 people in one day was rare during the Great Patriotic War. According to this ratio, even if Ustinov won, there would be nothing left.

Marshal Bagramyan, Marshal Cuikov, and General Akhromeyev all nodded their heads. Although the blue side took advantage of the plan, this kind of data still makes people feel terrified. At the price, the leaders of the Ministry of Defense will now have to figure out a way.

   "Can't chew?" In the afternoon, Ustinov and Serov discovered the problem almost simultaneously. The Soviet troops under Ustinov were as hard as tortoise shells. Coincidentally, Ustinov also thought so.

  The military observers of other countries were dumbfounded. At least the Soviets did not lie to them on this point. This is indeed a very close to actual combat exercise, so that the most critical soldiers of any country can't find faults.

On the fourth day, after a night of deliberation, Marshal Ustinov finally decided that the entire army should press all echelons to advance in unison to defeat the Allied Army. Serov also knew that once the Allied Army encountered several times his own Red Army, it would be wiped out. The speed was greatly accelerated, "The second echelon is ready to fight and fight to the end."

  Shelov is very helpless, Ustinov’s move is shameless, the red side is purely composed of the Soviet Red Army, and his own blue army is made up of the Warsaw Pact troops of various countries, there must be some unsatisfactory command.

The air reconnaissance forces on both sides kept feeding back the latest situation. When they learned that Serov had crushed the second echelon, Marshal Ustinov laughed and said, "You know what? After the Confederate army was surrounded, he concentrated on defeating the troops of the Warsaw Pact countries, and cut off the connection between the first and second tiers of the Blue Army. Naturally, his deep assault would fail..."

Everyone knew that the decisive battle between the red and blue sides was about to begin. When the troops of the second echelon of the two sides arrived, Ustinov immediately ordered to concentrate on attacking the blue side's second echelon composed of the Warsaw Pact coalition forces. .
