Pei Chengyi was not very satisfied with the tactics of Yuan Chenhao fighting in front of him.

Although in the eyes of many people, as one of the most important subordinates trained by Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao inherited Pei Chengyi's command style and was very clear about Pei Chengyi's combat routines. He would cooperate with him with all his strength, but no one could deny it. Pei Chengyi is a commander with a very personality. Yuan Chenhao is also a soldier with a distinct personality. No matter what their personal relationship is, when commanding the battle, their ideas will definitely not be exactly the same.

Everyone knows that when Pei Chengyi commands the battle, he never formulates detailed combat plans, and he will not use them to restrain his subordinates. In other words, Pei Chengyi often gives his subordinates a lot of free space to play. In this way, when commanding the battle, Pei Chengyi sometimes turns around, that is, adjusts the combat plan according to the actions of subordinate troops and sends the thugs. Although this is often criticized, in the eyes of some people, it even damages Pei Chengyi's image as a commander, no one has ever doubted the role of this command method, especially in large-scale wars.

Among the generals of various countries, Pei Chengyi is probably the only one who can use this method to command troops to fight.

Strictly speaking, Pei Chengyi also formed this command style in a special environment. In the Peninsula War, Pei Chengyi, as a colonel's staff officer, commanded combat operations instead of Xiang Yinghui. Faced with a large group of arrogant generals, even if they received the full support of Xiang Yinghui, Pei Chengyi could not command combat operations as he pleased. Because Xiang Yinghui had just become the chief of staff at that time, and his prestige in the army was not very high. It was at this time that Pei Chengyi mastered how to use the characteristics of the troops and the characteristics of the subordinate commanders to influence the war. This "adaptable to the conditions" command method is undoubtedly the most efficient command method and the most feasible command method. In the subsequent wars, Pei Chengyi was able to allow hundreds of thousands of troops to perform combat tasks like a person, which was not unrelated to his command method.

Since it is adapted to the conditions of the people, we must give full play to the subjective initiative of the soldiers.

When Yuan Chenhao decided to attack Diyabakir, Pei Chengyi guessed that his target was definitely not the city with a population of only a few tens of thousands, but to achieve greater victory with the help of this offensive operation.

From the beginning, Yuan Chenhao used the "surrounding point and attacking aid" tactic.

Although in the eyes of many people, the combat operations on the northern front are all serving the operations on the southern front. No matter how good they are, they cannot achieve decisive victory, Yuan Chenhao did not think so, because Pei Chengyi's pre-war deployment clearly told him that the results on the northern front will determine the outcome of the entire war. Compared with previous wars, the Republic was not facing the vulnerable Turkey or the powerful Israel, but the most powerful opponent of the Republic. The war had not yet begun. The central leadership of the Republic and the military leaders reached a consensus that in the case of limited purpose, a war of a limited scale with the United States.

That is to say, the Republic will not seek to completely defeat the United States in this war, but only to achieve a specific purpose to force the United States to compromise and concessions. When the nature of the war is strictly limited, the means of war and the ultimate goal of the war will naturally be limited. The Republic's military's mission is not to defeat the United States, but to "defeat" the United States. That is, to let the American authorities admit defeat. There are many ways to achieve this goal. However, in specific circumstances, if you want to achieve the final victory at the minimum cost, the only way is to consume the vitality of the US military in the war, let the United States shed all its blood, and ultimately have to resolve the problem with the Republic at the negotiating table.

Yuan Chenhao is a very smart soldier, how could he not understand this truth?

It is precisely because he actively advocated the tactic of "surrounding points and attacking aid", because only this tactic can fight mobile wars with the enemy as much as possible, and only in mobile wars can the enemy's vitality be consumed in large quantities.

In fact, this is also the tactic advocated by Pei Chengyi.

Judging from the battles over the past many days, Yuan Chenhao implemented the tactical idea of ​​"surrounding points and attacking aid" very thoroughly. He first surrounded Blüchel's vanguard, then surrounded the European legion, then surrounded the 7th Infantry Division who came to rescue the siege, and finally surrounded several US military divisions. Each siege operation attracted more US troops.

By this time, the two combat units commanded by Yuan Chenhao and the Iraqi army had already annihilated the US thugs, the Armored Division, the 3rd Infantry Division, as well as the approximately 1000 Turkish National Army, and were about to annihilate the US 7th Infantry Division, the Strategic Division, the Fourth Assault Division, and the About 1000 Turkish National Army.

I have to say that Yuan Chenhao is both determined and ambitious.

You should know that at this time, he still did not ask for reinforcements, but only reminded Pei Chengyi from time to time to send the support force belonging to the tenth combat unit. In other words, Yuan Chenhao only used the main force of two combat units, plus the old ten-liang Yi army that cooperated with the cooperation, and was shocked by such a brilliant record. If this continues, when the war is over, Yuan Chenhao can still kill several US military advisors.

It’s not that Pei Chengyi doesn’t want Yuan Chenhao to fight easily, but at some point, he must take the overall situation.

Heavy.

Pei Chengyi was conservative when it came to besieging Diyabakir.

According to his deployment, when he hit Diyabaker, Yuan Chenhao should stop moving forward and try to use Diyabaker to restrain the main force of the US military, that is, according to the previous tactics, to surround Duan and force Du Duan to increase troops to the front line. Since "the county" has surrounded the points to fight the reinforcements, he has to throw tons and deal with the reinforcements, instead of destroying the enemies in the encirclement in one go.

Of course, Pei Chengyi's purpose of making such arrangements is to do something in sudden actions.

According to Dongfang Wen's recollection, Pei Chengyi was arranging a very important assault at that time, that is, using the sixth combat unit that was about to participate in the war, launched a decisive assault between Diyabaker and Iskendron to capture a crucial city, thereby connecting the two war zones on the northern front, and leveling the front line in the direction of Ataturk Reservoir, forcing the US-Turk coalition forces to retreat northward.

Because Dongfang Wen is not a military adviser, he is not clear about Pei Chengyi's specific thoughts. However, from his memories, Pei Chengyi is likely to have targeted Malatia or Elazze, and the former is more likely. Imagine that if Malatia can be defeated, even if he cannot immediately defeat Diyabaker, he can force the US-Turkey coalition forces to quickly shrink the defense line north and even give up in Toro

The idea of ​​setting up a strategic defense line in the Sshan area. Although from the overall situation of the war, it is unlikely that Pei Chengyi will continue to rush to the north, and after investing in the sixth combat unit, he did not have enough troops to march into Ankara, as long as he conquered Malatia and pushed the front north of the Torros Mountains, he could gain greater bargaining chips in post-war negotiations. He could even force the authorities of the Ten-Erch government to sign a truce treaty with the Republic in extremely unfavorable circumstances.

If you want to defeat Malatia, you must let the US military continuously reinforce Diyabakir.

In other words, after surrounding Diyabakir, they can only put pressure on them, not attack them.

Of course, as the commander-in-chief of this war, Pei Chengyi should know that there is an almost insurmountable problem in his plan. That is, how to send the Sixth Battle Unit to Maratia?

Judging from the situation at that time, the surface assault was definitely not possible. Whether it was starting from Diyabakir or Gaziantep, the sixth battle had to hit hundreds of kilometers in a single attack. If the problem was not great in the early stage of the war, it was almost impossible at this time. The possibility of airborne was not great. It was not that the sixth combat unit did not have airborne combat capabilities, but that it did not have enough carriers. The tasks of the strategic transport aircraft group were arranged very well. Not to mention the transfer of hundreds of transport aircraft, it was difficult to draw several transport aircraft.

A more feasible method is aircraft landing, that is, to use the vertical take-off and landing transport fleet of the Army Airlines to send the Sixth Battle to Malatia individually. The low-altitude attack aircraft fleet of the Army provides air support for aircraft landing operations. This is why Pei Chengyi sent the Army's only set of prefabricated components of the field airport to Mardin and established a forward base there. The Mardin to Maratia is only strong kilometers, and the voyage from Mosul to Maratia is close to 1,000 kilometers, and the distance from Aleppo to Maratia is also more than 1,000 kilometers. According to statistics by the Joint Command, only three support battalions of the Tenth Combat Unit, that is, equipment, and 2,2, tactical air transport camps, the combat brigade and support brigade of the Sixth Combat Unit can be sent to Maratia within an hour.

The question is, is it that easy?

When planning this combat operation, Pei Chengyi first considered not the Turkish army guarding Malatia, but the US military's central assault division.

After this air assault force that was enough to compete with the tenth combat unit arrived in Turkey, Pei Chengyi guessed that Du Qiwei did not let the Division's assault division participate in the battle immediately. It was not that he did not trust the division's combat capabilities, but that he did not want to waste the only low-altitude assault force and wanted to use the good steel on the blade.

As it turns out, Pei Chengyi's judgment is very accurate. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 8 Si, please log in to read.

It was this worry that made Pei Chengyi not interfere in Yuan Chenhao's front-line command work, nor did he stop Yuan Chenhao from attacking Diyabakir.

The reason is very simple. Only when Yuan Chenhao attacks Diyabaker can Du Qiwei send out the TikTok assault division.

Of course, the result was not much better. The main force of the Centre Assault Division was in Malatia, who was in the thug. Because the strike battalion suffered more than half of its losses and was unable to provide full support for ground combat operations when encountering air threats, the combat operation to attack Malatia by aircraft landing had to be temporarily shelved.

After calming down, Pei Chengyi no longer felt that Yuan Chenhao had messed up his plan. Instead, he was secretly thanking Yuan Chenhao.

As the commander-in-chief, Pei Chengyi could not have known that if it weren't for Yuan Chenhao's fierce attack on Diyabakir and let the Digang Assault Division Tisu enter the battlefield, then when he sent the sixth combat unit out, he would have likely suffered the most severe failure after the war began. Objectively speaking, Duqiwei could not have not known the importance of Malatia, and he should not have handed over such an important strategic location to the Turkish National Defense Force. Duqiwei did not deploy heavy troops in Malatia, but hoped that Pei Chengyi would attack the city. Judging from the speed of the Fourth Assault Division's participation in the war, the division had just arrived in Turkey shortly after arriving in Türkiye.

Be prepared and stayed on standby, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the battle so quickly. In other words, Malatia was a trap prepared by Duqiwei for Pei Chengyi, a trap used to turn the situation around. From the overall situation, although Duqiwei may not necessarily know that Pei Chengyi would end the large-scale combat operation of Beikou Xiao Qianqi by attacking Malatia. However, he Xiao was worried that Pei Chengyi would send Juan Gu to defeat Tu and attack Ankara. Malatia entered the necessary place to march Ankara. From this, it can be seen that Duqiwei was likely to have a mistake and regarded Malatia as the main battlefield for the decisive battle.

If Yuan Chenhao hadn't disrupted the offensive rhythm, the consequences would have been difficult to imagine.

After understanding this, Pei Chengyi had to admit that it was the front-line commander who knew the situation on the battlefield.

It’s not that Pei Chengyi’s ability is not as good as Yuan Chenhao, but that he is in the rear and can only understand the situation on the battlefield through the information fed back by the front-line command and various combat troops. He cannot intuitively understand the situation, and he cannot make accurate judgments on the situation like the front-line commander.

Yuan Chenhao did not lack the experience of commanding large-scale wars, so he was able to see the problems on the battlefield.

From this we can conclude that before deciding to attack Diyabakir, Yuan Chenhao not only guessed Pei Chengyi's intentions, but also understood Du Qiwei's thoughts. Although he could directly make suggestions to Pei Chengyi and asked the commander-in-chief to modify the tactics, he did not do so. Instead, he used Pei Chengyi's command style to change the direction of the battle. Obviously, Yuan Chenhao is a very scheming person and a person who knows the worldly style. If he exposes Pei Chengyi's tactical intentions, where will the commander-in-chief be faced?

Fortunately, Pei Chengyi already knew that Yuan Chenhao was a very scheming person.

Objectively speaking, giving up attacking Malatia is not necessarily a bad thing.

As the attack on Diyabakir progressed, that is, the US military began to break out to the west, and the "east to west" offensive operation has been fully launched. Although the significance of putting the sixth combat unit on the battlefield at this time is not obvious, after all, on the plateau south of the Torros Mountains, three combat units cannot be accommodated at all, but through continuous and powerful ground attacks, the final victory can still be achieved.

It can be said that this is a very safe tactic.

According to the evaluation report submitted by Yang Shaoyong, as long as the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit remain in the state. Bit the US military's breakthrough unit, you can push the front line to the vicinity of Severek within hours. Although this will cause the front line to be too long and expose the wide flanks to the enemy, the main force of the US military is in the front direction, so you can use the two Iranian troops to defend the northern defense line to thug or launch a limited tactical attack in the Torros Mountains to restrain the Turkish army, so that the first combat unit or the tenth combat can be moved south alone, sweep the area south of the Ataturk Reservoir, and then turn north after reaching the west bank of the Euphrates River. In other words, the two combat units are enough to undertake all combat tasks in this direction, and the sixth combat unit can be sent to other

field.

Mother doubted it. This gave Pei Chengyi more choices.

Judging from the situation at that time, the one who needed reinforcements was definitely not Yuan Chenhao's side.

In fact, reinforcements are needed on the western battlefield and on the southern front. Because the seventh combat unit will not arrive at the fastest time, how to use the sixth combat unit reasonably and effectively is related to the success or failure of the entire war. To put it more directly, no matter which direction the sixth combat unit is sent, it can ensure undefeated in that direction.

When Yuan Chenhao was able to open up the situation, ensuring that he was unbeaten in another direction could ensure that the entire war was unbeaten.

Pei Chengyi did not hesitate. After reading Yang Shaoyong's evaluation report, he contacted Yuan Chenhao and asked him to leave a gap in the west of Diyabakir to allow the US military to break westward, and then arranged the assault troops of the first combat unit to bite the US military. He must not allow the US military to retreat to Siverek smoothly.

Although Pei Chengyi did not say it too directly, Yuan Chenhao immediately heard what he meant, that is, he used the retreating US troops to break down the defense line of Siweirek, so that the assault brigade of the Assault Division, who had just arrived at the place, had no time to build a defense line, so as to capture this very important city in one fell swoop and push the front line to the west for hundreds of kilometers. Of course, Yuan Chenhao also knew that while advancing rapidly, the flank defense line must be protected and the enemy must not make breakthroughs from the flanks, so the two Iranian troops must be put into battle on the flanks.

When Yuan Chenhao began to adjust the deployment, Pei Chengyi and Su Jinhui spoke on the phone.

There is only one purpose, to understand the situation on the Southern Front and whether it is necessary to provide reinforcements immediately.

From this we can see that Pei Chengyi still did not intend to make a difference on the southern front. Su Jinhui was not a fool, and he immediately understood what Pei Chengyi meant. Because the seventh combat unit could reach the day, Su Jinhui did not make the request to let the sixth combat unit reinforce the southern front, but just hoped to provide supplementary forces for the second combat unit and the ninth combat unit as soon as possible. When talking about the combat operations on the southern front, Su Jinhui also mentioned one thing. That is, before the war ends, the battle situation should be kept in a controllable state as much as possible, rather than completely giving up the southern front for victory on the northern front, and even not even endure unnecessary failures.

Pei Chengyi knew Su Jinhui's meaning very well and promised to take action on the southern front before the end of the war.

After arranging these things, Pei Chengyi contacted Lieutenant General Sai Tanbiao, the commander of the sixth combat unit. He issued the latest combat mission.

This is the last deployment made by Pei Chengyi before the decisive battle and the most critical deployment.
