From the squad, the good news came one by one to the Koji, located in Guadalbai, and the other ones.

.

The first victory was Lieutenant General Ling Yunxiao's first battle single. After less than a few words, the small armored division and the 3rd Infantry Division, known as the "Devil Division", achieved the impressive record of annihilation of the enemy and capturing the four enemy people, including about 8 wounded men.

I have to say that Ling Yunxiao’s sword is not old.

Because Ling Yunxiao is already very young, even if he can be promoted to general of the army immediately, he will not be able to become chief of staff until he becomes chief of staff, or even become chief of staff of the army. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, Ling Yunxiao is likely to be promoted next year, leave the front-line combat troops, and obtain an important position in the Army Command as an outstanding general with outstanding military achievements, becoming another senior general who can make significant contributions to the development and construction of the army after Tang Yinglong. To put it bluntly, it is to serve as a stepping stone for generals who are much younger than him, such as Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao.

In fact, Ling Yunxiao’s actions in recent years are almost the same as this speculation.

In a sense, when Xiang Yinghui sent Ling Yunxiao to the First Battle Unit and deployed the First Combat Unit in Pakistan, hoping that he could play the role of the "Standard Seed". To put it in the army, the greatest value of Ling Yunxiao's existence is to protect young generals like Yuan Chenhao, who have a bright future but have not yet had a strong wings, so that they can become the backbone of the army after the New Year. Objectively speaking, although Ling Yunxiao is the commander of the First Combat Unit and has no direct relationship with the South Asian theater, his existence does play a great role.

Not to mention anything else, as long as he is in Pakistan for one day, the General Staff will not think about how Yuan Chenhao is. At the end of the year, the most important thing Ling Yunxiao did was to clarify the relationship for Yuan Chenhao and solve the troubles in the war zone. For example, during the military exercises within the war zone, Ling Yunxiao taught Luo Shaopeng many times, so that this lieutenant general commander who likes to be proud of who is the boss of the South Asian War Zone. To be honest, if it weren't for Ling Yunxiao's efforts, Yuan Chenhao would definitely not be able to control Luo Shaopeng. From this perspective, Ling Yunxiao was undoubtedly a very good "regent"

Affected by this, when Pei Chengyi arranged combat missions, many people opposed letting the First Combat Unit go to Iran and shouldering the heavy responsibility of the southeastern Turkey. At that time, in addition to Yuan Chenhao, even Yang Shaoyong, who had a great influence on Pei Chengyi, believed that Ling Yunxiao was no longer Ling Yunxiao of the past. Although the combat effectiveness of the First Combat Unit was there, Ling Yunxiao was likely to be unable to complete the task when he needed to stand alone. Because when planning the war, Pei Chengyi only planned to invest in a combat unit in the southeastern Turkey, and the battle in this direction determined whether the situation could be opened up. Laying the foundation for victory, the performance of the First Combat Unit is crucial. There must be no mistakes, and we must not miss opportunities because of the commander's mistakes.

It must be admitted that Ling Qixiao's receipt of the gift received a reward.

If it weren't for Yuan Chenhao's firm support or even without any other choice, Pei Chengyi would have really put Ling Yunxiao on the side and let Li Dongshi's tenth combat unit or Luo Shaopeng's second combat unit enter Iran.

Strictly speaking, Ling Yunxiao's performance in the previous few days was sorry for Yuan Chenhao's height.

.

Because the situation changed, the first combat unit did not stand alone after the ground war broke out.

Although the performance of the First Combat Unit in the attack on Van Province was remarkable and successfully completed the campaign mission, after the US military arrived in Hakari, the performance of the First Combat Unit was far from being ashamed of the title of "The No. 1 Ace Unit of the Republic Army". Especially after the 10th battle marched into Turkey, it failed to march into Silt in time after occupying Tatwan, giving the US military the opportunity to defend Silt.

Of course, the individual accusations against the First Battle are mostly related to their reputation.

If the First Combat Unit was just an ordinary unit, it would not only not be criticized so much, but it would even be considered outstanding. Compared with its previous performance, the First Combat Unit's performance in the first few days before the battle in Turkey was indeed unsatisfactory, and it is difficult for people to associate it with the ace troops.

Objectively speaking, the responsibility is not on Ling Yunxiao.

The phenomenon of decline in combat effectiveness exists in most combat units, and the reason is that it is related to the third military reform.

Like the two previous military reforms, the loss of talents was the most important side of the third military reform. Although before the military reform, Wang Yuanqing, then head of state, clearly proposed the military-building strategy of "talent first", requiring all troops to effectively protect the interests of officers and soldiers, and to improve the social status of soldiers by improving the treatment and welfare of soldiers during the reform, no one could resist the impact of military reforms under the influence of the general environment. In the tide of disarmament, many talented soldiers left the army.

Mu Yong doubted that this was definitely a loss to the Republic.

By the beginning of the Lihuan year, the third military reform was basically over. In contrast to the loss of a large number of outstanding soldiers, as some soldiers retired, the troops began to absorb fresh blood, and their hands were enough to lift... and the foundation was the most of them were technical sergeants or officers. There were only a few officers and soldiers of grassroots troops.

The biggest impact of this change is the decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Republic Army has been improving and has not declined. The "slope" mentioned here is actually compared to the peak period of the Republic Army at the end of the Shu year, that is, the Indian War just ended.

The predecessor of the first combat unit was the Knife Army, which was the most outstanding unit during the Indian War.

Obviously, in people's minds, the first battle should be a victorious army that is invincible, invincible, unbeatable, and unbeatable. Not to mention failure, there should be no setback.

There is no doubt that this is a very wrong view.

In fact, both Yuan Chenhao and Pei Chengyi highly praised the performance of the First Battle on the battlefield in the battle report. Objectively speaking, before the tenth combat unit was buried in the territory to fight, the first combat unit took on the heavy responsibility of attacking Fancheng and Tatwan, and had to sweep the entire northern front and encircle and annihilate hundreds of thousands of local troops in just a few days. If it is not a plea for casualties, it is definitely a miracle among miracles.

For those who like to pick on the bones in the eggs, the only thing that the first combat unit did not do well was that it could not perform well, and seize the crucial Silt before the US military, and quickly encircled and annihilated the European Legion with the tenth combat unit to avoid the siege behind.

In fact, this is also what Ling Yunxiao is most dissatisfied with his officers and soldiers.

If the support brigade that was dragged behind at that time, that is, the support brigade that assisted the Iranian army in annihilated Hakari could be quickly inserted and replaced the combat brigade to attack Tatwan, which was defended by the Turkish army, the first combat unit would have been likely to occupy Silt before the US army. The operation to encircle and annihilate the US European Legion in the most beautiful way.

Affected by this, when Pei Chengyi arranged the task of attacking Silter, Ling Yunxiao took the lead in the position of the main force.

In front of Yuan Chenhao and many other generals, Ling Yunxiao only made one guarantee, that is, to capture Silt within an hour and annihilate the US European Legion. At that time, Ling Yunxiao did not propose to provide support from the tenth combat unit, but only required the tenth combat unit to defend the defense line in the west and prevent the US military from breaking through. Considering that the first combat unit was the first to participate in the war and occupied the most extensive area, Yuan Chenhao took the initiative to coordinate. Fortunately, Li Dongshi was not Luo Shaopeng, not only did he not have the idea of ​​watching jokes, but he was also very active.

No matter what, the first combat unit is the main force that attacks Silter.

Although Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao knew Ling Yunxiao's character and did not urge the first battle to accelerate the attack speed alone, Ling Yunxiao was a general with a big view of the situation. When he led the sword army to the battlefield for the first time, he helped the Jiaojun to capture Seoul with a large-scale attack that would never be remembered for life, laying the foundation for the Republic's Army to advance to Busan. When the US 7th Infantry Division rushed towards Batman, and Li Dongshi did not want to defeat the US army in such a way as Ranchi defense warfare, Ling Yunxiao knew that the tenth combat unit could not always stand in the west of the European Legion. Therefore, shortly after the attack began, he issued an order to accelerate the attack speed.

It must be admitted that age has not changed Ling Yunxiao's tactical style.

Like the sword army back then, in the battle of the tough battle, the single attack of the first battle was still sharp and unparalleled.

.

Before the tenth combat unit moved its focus, Ling Yunxiao used the Lido vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft specially sent by Yuan Chenhao to send the troops of the three combat battalions to the northwest, southwest and southeast directions of Silt, strengthening the siege in these three directions. According to Ling Yunxiao's arrangement, the task of these three battalions is only one pound. That is, after the offensive troops of the tenth combat unit withdraw from the battle, they locked the US troops tightly in the encirclement. In order to strengthen this encirclement, Ling

Yunxiao made a very critical arrangement, that is, to establish direct communications with three artillery battalions, and to provide artillery fire support for this fifteenth battle battalion during defense operations. In other words, in order to prevent the US military from breaking through, Ling Yunxiao asked the artillery battalion to perform fire blockade missions. Judging from the battles behind, if this arrangement is not available, even if the three combat officers and soldiers can defend the defense line, they will not be able to control the number of casualties within persuasion.

Only after deploying the defense line will the first combat unit start attacking.

At this time, it was noon on the 8th. In other words, in order to siege the European Legion of the US military and ensure that the combat force with a total strength of more than 20,000 was wiped out, Ling Yunxiao spent about half of the time to do a "foreplay to make the subsequent attack extremely sharp.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife will not delay cutting wood.

After making enough preparations, the attack of the No. 1 combat unit will be unstoppable.

Starting from the battlefield time, Baghdad time, the six combat battalions of the first combat unit were all-round, each of which was launched from the north, northeast and east. In order to increase the intensity of the attack, each battalion can directly contact the two artillery battalions and obtain quick artillery support. In order to ensure that the firepower channel is unobstructed, Ling Yunxiao not only applied for communication support for several large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but also interrupted all communications except tactics. The address of this site has been changed to: Except for Gu, Zhou, please log in to read!

Fortunately, Ling Yunxiao was the one who had been replaced by someone else, Yuan Chenhao would definitely not agree.

You should know that when the first battle attacked Silter alone, the front-line commander Yuan Chenhao could only understand the battle situation on the front line from the tactical sharing information platform. Because in the fierce battle, no unit will update tactical intelligence in a timely manner. Even any unit has developed the habit of updating tactical intelligence in battle, so on, the information sharing platform can only obtain outdated tactical information, and it is impossible to command the troops to fight based on these tactical information. It is precisely because there is no need to command the battle of the first combat unit. Therefore, Yuan Chenhao was not greatly affected.

According to the report of the single Tihuan in the first battle, the three attacks were very fierce.

In the words of Ling Yunxiao after the war, the European Legion was indeed the first ace unit in the US Army to complete the adaptation work. It not only has very advanced equipment, but also has very flexible tactics and strong fighting will, which basically represents the highest combat effectiveness of the US military. However, from the actual combat results, the battle against Silter was very fierce, but it was far from reaching the "risky" standard. In any case, the total number of casualties in the first combat unit was meritorious, and the number of casualties in the US military was just over meritorious. In other battles that met the "risky" standard, such as the battle of guarding Ranchi in the 3rd Brigade, the casualties must be several times, or even several times, of these two.

Because of the poor communication, I can only learn about the situation at that time from the battle report of the first combat unit and the memories of some veterans.

There is nothing to say about the war report. The real public war report has been processed by the Military Intelligence Bureau. Some of the contents that are unfavorable to the Republic or the Republic's military must have been deleted, and some contents involving confidentiality have also been deleted or modified. What is placed in front of the people must have been a glorious battle.

.

Relatively speaking, the memories of some veterans are more trustworthy.

According to the memories of a tank soldier who participated in this battle and threw away his left arm during the battle. From the beginning, the battle was not very smooth. Before entering the city, the new anti-tank missiles of the US military posed a great threat. Nearly one-third of the damaged tanks were killed by the new anti-tank missiles of the US military. After entering the city, the main battle tanks of the US military became the biggest threat. Because the European Legion had fought with the Iranian Grass Team before, and in Bartmann also met with the vanguard of the tenth combat unit, he was more clear about the performance of the war. Zhishan's electromagnetic gun could only be used as a thug.

Mine penetrated the frontal armor of Tuoyan, which was a common combat distance in urban warfare, so the US military hid all the tanks in the city buildings very early and used them as fixed anti-tank fire points. Although this method greatly restricted the application of main battle tanks and made the US military lose the ability to break through prematurely, it was definitely a huge nightmare for the attacking Republic troops, especially those tankers. When they hit the back, the offensive troops called artillery fire to destroy all buildings on the offensive route, and only then would they continue to advance after they were sure that there was no possibility of ambush.

If that is not the case, the battle will end before dark.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the officers and soldiers of the first combat unit being timid and afraid of things.

Once you go to the battlefield, no one is the same. Why should you bleed and sacrifice when there is no need to fight against the enemy?

Strictly speaking, this situation has a lot to do with Duqixian, because before that, Duqiwei's order was to defend Silter to the death and wait for reinforcements to arrive. As a result, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the European Legion did not intend to break through. They all believed that they could rely on urban buildings to repel the attack of the first combat unit.

Until decades after the war, the Republic's authorities did not announce the number of civilian casualties in this battle, and shortly after the war, the Republic paid for a new city of Silt on the banks of the Tigris River to the west, which was closely related to the casualties caused by the battle. According to some Western news media estimates, half of the residents of Silt died of artillery fire in the siege that lasted for an old hour. In other words, civilian casualties were close to 10,000. Other Western media believe that civilian casualties exceeded 10,000.

In any case, compared to civilian casualties, the casualties of the army are nothing.

Of course, Western news media that support those who firmly believe that more than 10,000 civilian casualties in the Battle of Silt have produced three so-called "evidence." First, Silt is a Kurdistan region, a few large and medium-sized cities dominated by Turks. Before the Republic's army siege, except for about 30,000 Kurds left the city. More than 10,000 Turks were basically left in the city, and Western news media only contacted thugs after the war and 10,000 Turks. Second, the Republic's authorities did not ask reporters to go to Silt until the end of the war, instead of releasing control after the battle, which was the same as the attack on the year.

The situation in Kolkata was exactly the same, and Western news media have confirmed that in the Battle of Kolkata, the number of civilian casualties was dozens of times that of the Republic's official announcement. Finally, shortly after the end of the battle, before the early morning of the day, Pei Chengyi handed over the heavy responsibility of occupying Silt to the Iranian army that followed. Three days later, the Iraqi army replaced the Iranian army, which made Silt's situation become chaotic. No one knew what had happened in the past few days, so there was no way to accuse the Republic's army of what they did when attacking Silt. The address of this site has been changed to: Be prepared for your heart. 8. Please log in to the Dharma to read it if you delete it!

Pei Chengyi knew very well what Silter had become.

As the supreme commander of the Joint Command, there was no reason to ignore the safety of thousands of Republican soldiers and Allied soldiers for the sake of the war before the end of the war.
