If this is not the case, it is impossible for the leaders of the Joint Command Command to invite Zhuang Jianye over to explain the performance of the relevant equipment to these director-level officials. Child pressure is impossible.

After all, the shadow of the Soviet mechanized group in the 1970s and 1980s was too large. Even if the old man is not as good as it was in the past, the basic concept has not changed at all.

Because of this, the leaders of the Joint Command Command are divided on what strategy and tactics should be used in the battalion-scale back-to-back live ammunition exercise.

The more qualified chiefs advocated that in accordance with our army's strategy to deal with the Soviet Union in the 1990s, the defense with large depths and the defensive counterattack of the reserve team should be used to deal with this confrontation with the old Maozi troops.

The advantage is that the relevant forces themselves are familiar with this set of defensive counterattack tactics, and the relevant military weapons are also targeted. Once implemented, they can be deployed quickly and have a considerable chance of winning.

On the contrary, the reform cadres headed by the Chief of Staff of the Joint Command Command Zheng Quanli advocated the use of forceful means to launch a strong offensive, and attack Lao Maozi's battalion-level troops head-on.

The reason is that after several years of development, the level of training and equipment of domestic troops has been greatly improved. In particular, some weapons and equipment are not only devastating, but more importantly, they have overturned traditional strategies and tactics.

Based on this, even if the domestic forces are not as good as the Russian army in actual combat experience, if they flexibly use the brand-new tactical tactics given by the new equipment, it is still no problem to compete with the Russian army head-on, and there is even a great chance that they will be blown head-on. .

And this significance is extremely significant for the morale of domestic troops and the future new military reforms.

That is, the idea of ​​defending the enemy outside the country, which has been so long in the past, has finally taken root.

But the problem is that Zheng Quanli's offensive aspect is good, but the risk is too great. If he loses the confrontation, he will lose face from the chief to the ordinary commanders, and it will make foreign troops laugh.

However, the combat plan of using veteran chiefs is too conservative.

The country has spent so many resources to promote military reforms, and the results are still old products more than ten or twenty years ago. Even if this exercise is won, it is not easy to explain to the major domestic leaders.

As a result, the two sides have been arguing about this, and have not yet decided on the final plan.

Therefore, the focus of Zhuang Jianye's introduction this time is mostly on the reliability and adaptability of the equipment. After all, the climate in Central Asia is relatively harsh. If the new equipment can play a role, it is crucial to the final formation of the combat plan.

"So, can these equipment be guaranteed to be effective during the exercise?"

After a detailed introduction, the head of the Joint Command Command finally asked.

Zhuang Jianye nodded without hesitation: "As long as the training is in place, I believe our commanders should be able to bring out the performance of the equipment!"

"In that case..." The head of the Joint Command Headquarters looked around the surrounding leaders: "Then let's make up our minds!"

...

Just as the leaders of the Joint Command Headquarters in Ulu, the capital of the border region, made a decision, Zheng Quanli and Xiaoman were anxiously awaiting the final decision of the Joint Command Headquarters in the Bakir base in Kazakhstan.

As the leader of the team, Zheng Quanli needless to say. From the airborne to the current leadership and position, Lao Zheng's style has always been offensive, offensive, and offensive. He never knew what defense was, and advocated offense. .

However, Xiaoman, as the commander of the synthetic battalion this time, is a steady person. Whether it is offensive or defensive, Xiaoman is very balanced, especially in defense. As the main commander of the first professional blue army in China, Xiaoman has been in recent years. The best thing is to defend and counterattack.

And this is also the reason why the superiors selected Xiaoman as the commander of this combined battalion composed of elites. No matter how bad they are, they can still fight the defensive counterattack that domestic troops are good at.

However, in fact, Xiao Man Da believes that offense is in his mind. It is said that the best defense is offense. This is the correct way for men to open the battlefield.

With the same equipment and the same strength, being beaten up for a while and unable to fight back, it was too frustrated.

But Xiaoman can’t help it. Whoever asks his superiors to always take care of the emotions of the Red Army troops at critical moments, for fear that the morale of those old troops with a glorious history will be frustrated. Obvious flaws.

In this case, how do you let Xiaoman fight?

It can only be the most reliable defensive counterattack. The Red Army's offensive is like a broken bamboo, the Blue Army resists steadily, and defends in depth, so that the overall picture is beneficial to the Red Army troops.

As for Xiaoman's defensive counterattack well, he didn't practice it deliberately. It's just that he has done a lot of red and blue confrontation. Practice makes perfect.

But in fact, what Xiao Man most wanted to fight was offense. Because of this, in this exercise with the Russian army, Xiao Man's proposition was the same as Zheng Quanli's, directly facing Lao Maozi.

The training level of the troops is not bad, and the equipment is not bad. The only thing lacking is actual combat experience.

If it had been more than ten years ago, Xiao Man could not do anything about it, but now the synthetic battalion with a large number of new equipment in hand can make up for the lack of experience with technology, and it may even be reversed.

In this case, there is nothing to be conservative, just lift up your arms, and you're done.

However, the superior seems to be too cautious about the offense. The plan has been discussed for more than a dozen rounds and has not been finalized. Seeing that the exercise is about to start, Xiaoman is quite nervous to tell the truth with which plan.

While the two were waiting anxiously in the temporary resident, the communications staff hurried in and handed a telegram to Zheng Quanli: "Call from the headquarters!"

Zheng Quanli hurriedly got up ~lightnovelpub.net~ and took the message, only glanced at it and laughed: "I'll just say it, I should hit it!"

After speaking, he looked towards Xiaoman: "Give the troops an order, use the fifth plan!"

"Yes!" Xiaoman shook his head in excitement. He swept away his hanging heart in the past few days. He picked up the phone on the table and ordered directly: "Order the ministries to implement the fifth set of plans, and prepare firepower in half an hour. Attack immediately after nightfall!"

As the so-called military order is like a mountain, as Xiaoman’s order was transmitted to the various units, the 12 89-type 122mm self-propelled howitzers and 6 83-type 152mm self-propelled howitzers, attached to the artillery unit of the synthetic battalion on the vast Central Asian grasslands, roared at the same time. Covering the Russian army's position more than 20 kilometers away, accompanied by the evening sun, a cruel, **** setting sun was staged on the vast prairie.

At the same time, Xiaoman commanded a main mechanized squad composed of 6 Type 96 tanks and 12 Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles on his side, and entered the offensive starting position. Only when night fell, he transformed this mechanized elite into one. Stabbed the sharp knife directly at the junction of the Russian army...
