Chapter 833: The Minister of Defense Shameless
"This trick is done again? Activate the backup equipment, the main attacking troops attack the entire army, the second echelon follows up, and quickly enter the group and follow up after tearing the openings of the first echelon and the second echelon. The reserve team is ready to respond." Marshal Ustinov learned that his communication interference was immediately learned that several orders were issued with confidence. First, use the first echelon to open the breakthrough or carry out a sudden attack, and then use the subsequent echelon to implement high-speed, multi-way, and large-depth attacks, and implement breakthroughs and expansion results. This is the traditional Soviet fighting method, large-depth assault...
In the implementation of the large-scale battle, the attacking side must have a greater advantage in military strength and also have a powerful mobile force to undertake the task of rapid breakthrough and expansion. In the past two days, the red side commanded by Ustinov had all the red side, so he did not hesitate to crush the position of the Blue side with the strongest attitude until all resistance of the Blue side's troops were crushed.
"Use all firepower to attack the connection points of the Red Army's combat echelon. The Air Force is concentrated outside the ground air defense circle. Do not fight head-on with Ustinov, delay the opponent's assembly time. The entire Alliance army attacks and attacks the Red Army's first echelon." When Selov issued electronic interference, he quickly issued a second order.
"Ustinov forgot one thing, I am also a member of the National Defense Commission. I understand my country's army and also understand the Great Deep Assault!" Selov shouted to all the combat staff, "The most important thing is that I know him very well."
Not only Ustinov was familiar with and perfected the large-scale assault, but Selov was also very familiar with it. His familiarity with the entire country made up for the biggest shortcomings of the Blue Side. Maybe Selov could command the NATO army and resist for more than two or three days. But would he betray the Soviet Union? If he was young, he might not be able to do it. No matter how many girls there are now, he would not be able to do it, and there would be no chance.
Selov chose to attack. Once all the preparation steps of the Soviet Union were completed and the huge ground troops were activated, it was impossible for the Blues to win. You should know that the General Political Commissar did not make any contribution. The Soviet ground troops were much stronger than in history. In this case, once Ustinov was activated, the Blues would be crushed.
In the Kremlin, some of the only remaining old marshals watched the movements of the entire exercise from the perspective of God.
"Yula knew every step of the large-scale attack, as well as the direction of the attack, the preparation time and speed of the attack, so he took advantage of the Minister of Defense to attack first before the Minister of Defense moved, and wanted to disrupt the Minister of Defense's deployment." Marshal Baglamyan carefully observed the situation on the entire battlefield, and finally shook his head, "But even so, he had almost no chance of victory. It was already a super-level performance to be able to use it."
"It can't be said that the Blue side is mainly equipped in the air force field, and the Alliance Army has always served as the imaginary enemy force, which is actually stronger than the ordinary troops." Another old marshal Cui Kov, who had not yet entered the coffin, said, "The exercise has just begun. Let's take a look first, it's still a long time."
Selov's electromagnetic interference is useful, but not very useful. Just as the General Political Commissar knows the Minister of Defense very well, the Minister of Defense also knows the General Political Commissar. For example, the electromagnetic interference that the KGB is good at has long been promoted by Ustinov to the entire Soviet army. After the backup high-power radio station was activated, the Red side's command system had been completely restored.
But immediately, Ustinov received reports from various troops, and many troops were attacked by ground-to-ground missiles. He suffered bad losses. "The original plan was still the same, and the first echelon marched forcibly and teared the holes."
"As the first echelon, the Warsaw Pact coalition forces are the second echelon, the Greek Wehrmacht, the Chika Division, and the KGB Division are reserves, and launch a large-scale deep assault according to the reservation." Selov handed over the phone and issued an order to each unit, "Don't forget, my subordinates are also Warsaw Pact troops, and I will also..."
"All the air force's forces took off, and the ground air defense forces followed the first echelon to block the advantageous air force equipped by the Blue Side, creating a shelter of 200 kilometers. The ground-to-ground missile forces counterattacked and destroyed the Blue Side's airport." Ustinov also constantly adjusted and deployed at his command center. Although the Su-27 fighter equipped by Serov's Blue Side's troops was more threatening than his MiG-29 fighter, the heroes were useless and were very dependent on the airport.
Any battle is determined by ground forces, and no aircraft can stay in the sky forever. Ustinov, who knows this, immediately made targeted deployments. From the attack of the first wave of ground missiles on the Blue side, he realized that Selov was not preparing to come over to the formalities, but was preparing to win.
"We must regard the army rather than the division as the main combat unit on the battlefield, and regard "deep attack" as the key to victory. We require that the troops that carry out deep attacks must quickly cross the front line of the existing side and advance towards the enemy's depth, fight with the selected enemy, and destroy the enemy's follow-up echelons in the movement; at the same time, due to the obvious risks of using troops in the enemy's rear areas, the integrated air-ground warfare must achieve full coordination and unity with the air force, and implement battlefield air-to-air interruption and offensive air support." After the Alliance Army imagined the enemy's troops, Selov began a different change.
That is the air-ground integrated war that NATO is still exploring. Unlike NATO, the ground armed forces in his hands are not as disparate as those between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Although the ground power of the Blue side is not as good as that of the Red side, it definitely has some attacks. So he used the Soviet Union's own deep assault as the cover for the air-ground integrated war, making Ustinov think he was going to attack him.
"No, the deployment of the General Political Commissar is not a large-scale deep assault. This is the strategic idea that NATO is still exploring. NATO's air-to-ground integrated war!" Deputy Chief of General Akhromeyev made his own judgment based on the situation of both sides, and suddenly stood up and said, "The General Political Commissar's troops are equipped with Warsaw Pact troops, as well as the KGB inner guards with a high status. The Blue side traditionally imagines the alliance army of the enemy forces, and the ground strength is equal to or even more than the Soviet army of the same number, far exceeding the ordinary NATO troops, because the Blue side has few troops, and the air force equipped to the Blue side before the exercise is tilted. If the General Political Commissar follows NATO's combat ideas, this is a force with the dual advantages of NATO and Warsaw Pact."
"Huh?" Brezhnev looked up, thinking about Akhromeev's words, and said slowly, "Yula knows the Ministry of Defense very well. Although personal command may be much worse than Ustinov, modern warfare can avoid errors with the assistance of many staff officers. It seems that Comrade Ustinov will usher in a tough battle."
Of course, Brezhnev hopes that the Red side will win, because the Red side represents the Soviet Union. If the Blue side wins, does not mean that the Soviet Union cannot defeat NATO? But he does not want to interfere with the commanders of both sides, and wants to know what the outcome is when the situation is closest to actual combat.
Time passed by little by little. Within four hours, the situation chart in front of Brezhnev was updated, and other senior Soviet commanders were also waiting here, waiting for the final result to appear.
Early on the morning of the third day, two armies of the Red and Blue sides collided with the same strategy, using a large-scale assault to the large-scale assault. The alliance army of the 100,000 blue side and the Soviet army of the 150,000 red side collided fiercely. They fought each other within a range of hundreds of kilometers, and war reports were constantly reported to the Kremlin. Because of the huge losses of both sides, the troops that had withdrawn from the exercise had exceeded five divisions.
"If this is a real actual battle, we will have great trouble." Brezhnev said to many old marshals in a heavy mood. Many people here have experienced the Patriotic War. The losses of more than 70,000 people in one day are rare during the Patriotic War. According to this ratio, even if Ustinov wins, there is probably nothing left.
Marshal Bagramiyan, Marshal Cuikov, and General Akhromeyev all nodded. Although the Blue Party took advantage of the plan, this data still made people frightened. If the Warsaw Pact and NATO had to pay this price to go to war, then the leaders of the Ministry of Defense would have to find a way now.
"Can't chew?" In the afternoon, Ustinov and Selov discovered this problem almost at the same time. The Soviet army under Ustinov was as hard as a tortoise shell. By chance, Ustinov also thought so.
Military observers in other countries were stunned. At least the Soviets did not deceive them in this regard. This was indeed an exercise that was very close to actual combat, which made no fault of any country's most picky soldiers.
On the fourth day, Marshal Ustinov, after a night of consideration, finally decided that the entire army would push forward all the echelons and defeat the Alliance Army. Selov also knew that once the Alliance Army encountered a Red Army several times its own, the speed of the Echelon would be eliminated greatly accelerated. "The second echelon was ready to fight and fight to the end."
Selov was helpless. Ustinov's move was shameless. The Red Party was simply composed of the Soviet Red Army, and his own Blue Army was formed by Warsaw Pact troops of various countries. There must be some unsatisfactory command.
The aerial reconnaissance forces of both sides kept feedback on the latest situation. When they learned that Selov was injured in the second echelon, Marshal Ustinov laughed and said, "Do you know? The General Political Commissar lost. Notify the troops and after surrounding the Alliance, they concentrate their efforts to defeat the troops of various countries of the Warsaw Pact countries and cut off the connection between the first and second echelons of the Blue Army. His large-scale assault will naturally fail..."
