Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 88 Ground Combat
You can see through the series of deployments that recognize the best! Pei Chengyi’s overall view and overall consciousness are incomparable.
Everyone was paying attention to how the Republic's Army would launch a ground attack and what methods would the US-Turkey coalition use to defend the defense line. Pei Chengyi was already several steps ahead and began to consider what methods should be used to obtain the final victory and suppress the opponent in the overall situation.
Since you have such long-term considerations, you must be more fully prepared.
On the afternoon of June Blade, the second combat unit stationed in Nineveh Province, Iraq received an order from the Joint Command and headed to the town of Taylor Kochek near the Syria-Iran border under the leadership of Luo Shaopeng. Because the railway line connecting to Turkey also passed through the town of Taylor Kochek. Therefore, the actions of the second combat unit immediately attracted the attention of the other party and had a great impact on Duchiwei's judgment of the war.
That night, the US intelligence agency determined that the 10th combat unit had entered Iran and was about to enter the Diyala province of Iraq from Kermansha Province in western Iran. Because the north of Diyala province is Suleimania and Carnak Province, the appearance of the 10th combat unit once again had an impact on Duchiwei's battlefield judgment, forcing the US Marine General to remeasure the situation on the battlefield.
For Duchwie, the situation can only be described as bad.
Although the situation on the afternoon of the day and after nightfall made the generals of the Joint Conference believe more about Blücher's judgment. They believe that Duchwit had problems in the judgment of the strategic situation, the Republic's Army would not launch an attack from the West Azerbaijan province in northwest Iran, but would focus on the Jarnak province in Iraq. They also sent a mobile force to set off from the northern Syrian region and go around the rear of the US-based defense line to encircle the US-Turkey coalition forces in southeastern Turkey. Based on this, the Chairman of the Joint Conference sent several messages to Duchwit that night, asking Duchwit to attach great importance to Iran.
Lack and the Republic's combat troops in Syria. But this is not the biggest trouble Duqiwei encountered, because he firmly believed in his judgment that Pei Chengyi would not ignore geographical problems and let the troops attack from low to high. For Duqiwei, the biggest problem is that the troops are seriously insufficient. Even if the US military has begun to mobilize, the speed of moving and mobilizing is far from keeping up with the need. In Duqiwei's view, the fatal flaw in the battlefield on the Northern Front is not that there is a directional problem in Blüchel's defense deployment, but that neither he nor Blüchel's hands have enough defensive forces.
Faced with the left-wing man's deep-range encirclement strategy initiated by the Republic Army, Du Qiwei could only sigh.
In the first half of the night, Duchiwei's judgment was confirmed.
As the main assault troops of the First Combat Unit entered the border between West Azerbaijan Province and Van Province, the Republic's Army's offensive intentions were very clear. Although there were still several generals of the Joint Conference who stayed in the rear who believed that this was a feint arranged by the other party. However, Blüchel, who was on the front line, did not think so.
After the information was confirmed, Blücher took the initiative to contact Duchwie.
In addition to the information provided by Si Yuu, there is another reason why the lieutenant general took the initiative to "acquire his mistake", that is, none of the scouts he sent came back and disappeared into the mountains and ridges of the Zagros Mountains. The signs that the Republic's army was about to invade Turkey from Iran was obvious. Blüchel must admit the facts and pay attention to Duchwie's suggestions.
The problem is that Duchway did not give any advice.
After discussing about the thug, the communication suddenly broke down.
This is the June Blade Sun Point Threat of Tehran time. You are divided. About an old minute later, the Turkish border patrol troops in the east of the province sent a message that they were attacked by the main armored forces.
The Republic's Army has invaded Turkey.
In this case, Duchway and Blücher still don't know how to deal with it.
Ankara time, the thug sent the first combat information in three minutes, confirming that the single main armored force of the Republic's Army's first combat had crossed the border and attacked Turkey.
Subsequently, the US Air Force's strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the tactical reconnaissance aircraft coming from the Navy, and large early warning aircraft operating over the Black Sea all confirmed the intelligence that the ground armored forces of the Republic's Army were attacking the border defense line of the Turkish Army and would soon break through the Turkish Army's defensive positions.
The situation was already obvious. Duchwie's first reaction was to ask Blücher to adjust his defense deployment.
It was this second reaction that made Du Qiwei wake up.
The Ankara time thug was not available. Duchway contacted Blücher and asked the Lieutenant General of the Army to concentrate the armored forces, but do not go north immediately to block the attack, but first concentrate efforts to consolidate the defense line in the south. He also always pays attention to the situation on the battlefield and then decides to counterattack after the situation is clear.
Duchway's reminder calmed down Blücher.
In fact, just before Duchway called, Blücher issued a counterattack order, requiring the Armored Brigade and the Infantry Brigade to prepare for departure within ugly minutes, and then use infantry troops to set up defenses on the traffic routes of the Van Province to block the offensive forces of the Republic's Army layer by layer. The armored troops gathered in the direction of the Van Province to prepare for a powerful counterattack from the flank of the Republic's Army's offensive forces.
Obviously, this is what Pei Chengyi expected.
To be precise, it was the situation that Yuan Chenhao expected.
If Duchwie hadn't called off, I'm afraid two US Army brigades would have been recommended to Blücher. The address of this site has been changed to: Defense 8, please log in to read!
In fact, Duqi
The attack was only the first combat unit. The second combat unit had already encircled Blüchel's rear, and the tenth combat unit was about to reach the front of Blüchel. If Blüchel adjusts his defense deployment at this time and sends the main force to deal with the first combat unit, it will not only expose his back to the tenth combat unit, but also expose the soft-length combat unit to the gun of the second combat unit. The result can be imagined that under the joint siege of the three combat units, the two US Army brigades may not be able to hold on for hours.
For Duqiwei, the most lacking force at this time is time.
In fact, Duchwire is only time missing.
According to Duchiwei's arrangement, another armored brigade of the Armored Division in July will arrive at Diyabakir by strategic transport aircraft. All combat troops and most combat equipment of the European Legion can arrive at Diyabakir before the entry point on July 3. The address of this site has been changed to: Grebgu, please log in to the Fa to read!
In other words, as long as there are still hours, nearly two divisions and more than 10,000 US troops arrived, completely changing the strength comparison between the two sides of the war.
From Duchwie's standpoint, he had only one choice, that is, to find a way to fight for the hour.
The solution is very simple, let Blüchel defend Hakari Province to the death. Although the Republic's Army can completely bypass Blüchel's defense from Van and Schernak Province, it is very expensive to defeat Hakari Province. Mu Yong doubted that no matter how brave Pei Chengyi is, he would not look down on the thugs. More than 10,000 US troops armed to the teeth. Considering that the main force of the US military is about to arrive, and the offensive forces sent by Pei Chengyi are difficult to capture Maiyabaker before the night of July 2, Pei Chengyi should kill Blüchel in the encirclement before the main force of the US military arrives, and then concentrate on dealing with the US military reinforcements and fight a head-on battle with the US military in the direction of Diyabaker.
Based on this judgment, Duqiwei would not have any other ideas.
After stabilizing Bu8shere, Duchway held a very short video conference with several generals participating in the Joint Conference. Although facts have proved that Duchway's judgment was very correct, and the Joint Conference made serious mistakes. Duchway did not hold him accountable, but only asked to minimize the losses. Duchway's attitude made the American generals participating in the Joint Conference feel ashamed and forced them to fully adopt Duchway's suggestion, which is to concentrate all airlift forces, including the requisitioned civil aviation aircraft, and send other combat troops of the European Legion to Diyabakirl as quickly as possible. Of course, Duchway did not forget the more important thing, that is, to use strategic delivery fleets to send the local army divisions over.
It can be seen from this that Du Qiwei's actions basically did not exceed Pei Chengyi's judgment.
In July, the thugs will send the third brigade of the European Legion, and it is very likely that an armored brigade will be sent to Maiyabakel, and within an hour, all the combat personnel of the European Legion and all the main combat equipment except a few heavy equipment will be sent to Diyabakel.
This air freight speed is almost the same as the previous estimate.
Although it is impossible to use civil aviation technology to transport main combat equipment, it can be used to transport combat personnel and personal luggage of officers and soldiers, so that all military transport aircraft can transport combat equipment. No, it is not recognized that the United States' strategic air transport capacity is indeed no worse than that of the Republic. Because the United States and European legions are distributed in dozens of military bases in several countries such as Germany, Austria, Italy, and Poland. The main combat equipment is stored in dozens of warehouses. These bases and warehouses are more than four kilometers away from Diyabaker, and the closest ones are also more than a thousand kilometers. So in the same situation, a full-member armored brigade was attacked.
In fact, Mu Chengyi does not care about the strategic air transport capabilities of the US Air Force.
After receiving the news from the Military Intelligence Bureau, Pei Chengyi first contacted General Su Jinhui of the Southern Front Command, asking him to not rush to pay attention to the destination when contacting Luo Shaopeng. The marching speed can be appropriately slowed down, and some tasks that should have been undertaken by the Second Battle can be handed over to the Syrian army. In short, the second combat unit stayed in the border area of Syria and Iran for a longer period of time, which forced Du Qiwei to pay attention to this assault force.
Because this is a tactical adjustment, Pei Chengyi did not say it too much.
No matter what, frontline commanders are not lacking in tactical qualities.
Because he received information from the Military Intelligence Bureau simultaneously, when he received Pei Chengyi's call, Su Jinhui guessed Pei Chengyi's intention. It can be said that Du Qiwei strengthened the air transport force and tried his best to send the European army to Diyabakir, which has proved that Pei Chengyi's combat offensive deployment has achieved results. No matter how efficient air transport is, it will take enough time. If Du Qiwei sees out Pei Chengyi's intention during this period, it may be possible to terminate the air operation at any time and send those US troops that are enough to change the balance of the battlefield to another place. Therefore, Du Qiwei must be convinced that his judgment is not wrong, and the best way is to make him believe that the second battle into Syria is looking for a breakthrough. It is not complicated to achieve this goal. Just as Pei Chengyi arranged, just let the second combat unit slow down the marching speed.
When Su Jinhui contacted Luo Shaopeng, Du Chengyi was contacting Yuan Chenhao.
After inquiring about the situation of the front line attack, Pei Chengyi did not adjust Yuan Chenhao
The first combat unit broke through the border defense line of the Turkish army in just 4 hours. Because the Turkish army did not set up large-depth defense positions, and the advance westward was basically plateau, the battle behind was very easy. Except for very slight resistance at some road intersections, the first combat unit basically did not fight with the enemy.
Because the attack went too smoothly, Yuan Chenhao had contacted Ling Yunxiao many times to let him control his speed and not blindly advance.
This is a very reasonable requirement. In any case, the first combat unit cannot be too powerful before the flanking threat is lifted. According to Yuan Chenhao's estimate, if Blüchel intends to launch a counterattack, he will block the progress of the first combat unit before noon, because by the afternoon of the thugs, the vanguard of the first combat unit may reach about a kilometer north of Bashkale. As long as the first combat unit defeats Bashkale, he will gain a firm foothold in Turkey and can establish a recommended airport on the front line. Use a powerful vertical take-off and landing transport fleet to obtain a steady stream of supplies. At that time, let alone the two brigades in Blüchel, even a US Army division or even four US Army divisions, may not necessarily drive the first combat unit out of Turkey. Because he had talked with Pei Chengyi before, Yuan Chenhao was not very sure whether Blüchel would launch a counterattack.
When talking about this issue, Pei Chengyi only mentioned one thing, that is, if the US military does not launch a counterattack as predicted, Ling Yunxiao should leave all the support brigade and half of the combat brigade, deploy the defense line in the north of Hakari Province, and join the tenth combat unit to abide by the two US Army brigades commanded by Blüchel. Yuan Chenhao did not give any other opinions, because without Pei Chengyi's reminder, he would also deploy in this way.
It can be seen from this that Pei Chengyi’s most worried issue is that Blüchel is a turtle that shrank his head.
No matter what, no one can deny the US military's tenacious defense capabilities.
In the first battle of the Peninsula War, the two American Marine Divisions entrenched in the Lake of War and Changjin Lake caused the attacking Republic Army armored troops to suffer a lot. The Concai Army fought half-severe in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Marine Division, and almost missed all the large-scale combat operations behind. The Zhao Army lost more than half of its troops in the battle to encircle and annihilate the 2nd Marine Division, and the result was not much different from the fallen army. In short, as the front-line commander of the Republic Army of the Peninsula War, Pei Chengyi will not forget the wonderful performance of the US military in defensive operations.
If Blüchel can effectively use the thugs of two brigades, more than 10,000 US troops can entangle at least 2 combat units in a short period of time. The new address of this site has been changed to: Exorcist, please log in to read if you delete it!
Obviously, Pei Chengyi was unwilling to see and never accepted the result.
There is only one solution, that is, to defend against defense. The thugs, the US military can withstand 4 times the strong enemy in defense, and can only deal with one-quarter of the enemy in attack. Of course, because the US military breaks through, Pei Chengyi has to deploy a defensive force of no less than 10,000 on the periphery.
It can be said that the US military did not counterattack and stopped the driving of the desperate defense, which made Pei Chengyi the most headache.
After contacting Yuan Chenhao, Pei Chengyi found the Iranian general Tallinn. Faced with this Iranian Lieutenant General, Pei Chengyi only made one requirement, that is, the vanguard of the Iranian Army must follow the plan and follow the First Combat Force to enter the ground to fight. In addition to carrying out material transportation, he should also make greater contributions in the battle to siege Hakkari Province. In Pei Chengyi's words, even if the Iranian Army's offensive capabilities are not very good, it should have excellent performance in defensive operations, which is definitely not useless.
There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi's arrogant attitude made Tallin very hurt.
After seeing off the Iranian Army Lieutenant General, Pei Chengyi immediately called Liu Xiaobin and asked him to arrange a senior intelligence official to explain the situation to Ahmadinejad and Hash without causing misunderstandings.
Although Pei Chengyi did not explain it, Liu Xiaobin, a wise man, could not be unclear about what he meant.
Under the dual role of Tallinn and the intelligence officials of the Military Intelligence Agency, in the eyes of Ahmadinejad and Hash, Pei Chengyi did not mean to look down on the Iranian army at all. Instead, the enemy was too strong and the battle on the front was too fierce. Pei Chengyi could not bear to let the Iranian army suffer significant losses, so he refused Tallinn's request to participate in the war, and only allowed the Iranian army to siege two US Army brigades that were about to be completely defended by the Republican army in the rear.
I have to say that in order to maintain the official position, Tallinn did not tell the truth completely.
Of course, in the eyes of Ahmadinejad and Hash, no matter how poor the Iranian army is, it is still capable of eating the thug. Wan
.
You should know that without direct assistance from other countries' troops, Iran still defeated the invading US troops. After so many years of construction, if the thugs could not be defeated, the generals of the Iranian army could commit suicide.
When Ahmadinejad and Hash gave instructions, they both clearly mentioned that if they can't beat Hakari, they should not come back to see people.
Now, a small problem has become a big problem that is at stake in General Yiming's life and death.
The most direct result is that Pei Chengyi solved the most difficult problem without a single soldier. Because he was worried that the Iranian army would attack too hard and leave the US military with the opportunity to counterattack, Pei Chengyi still asked the first combat unit to leave the troops equivalent to two Iranian army brigades behind, and acted as a battle reserve.
