Chapter 386: Leapfrog Combat, Air Assault

386 leapfrog combat, air assault

Gao Cheng lowered his eyebrows, looked solemnly, and fell into deep thought.

Naturally, he had heard of the term "leapfrog combat" as he was well-read in history books.

But to be honest, the impression is not very deep. The only feeling is that it is a battle example.

Therefore, he did not know what Chen Fan meant by leapfrog combat and what thoughts it contained.

Therefore, he needs to think, analyze, summarize, and deduce.

Gao Cheng was thinking.

Chen Fan didn't interrupt or speak. He just ate in silence and continued to think while eating.

Leapfrog operations on Earth, air assaults, military developments here, and all these things were brewing in his mind.

Wu Liu, Niu Zhiguo and Chengcai were surrounded by two people. The three of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They had ten thousand doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing Gao Cheng, so you just looked at me and I looked at you. .

After watching for a while, Niu Zhiguo shrugged and said secretly: "I don't understand!" He still couldn't figure out what Chen Fan meant by leap frog combat, so he simply stopped thinking about it and just ate.

He stopped participating in this kind of thing. He knew that his brain was not strong enough. It was fine to be a big-headed soldier, but it was too hard for him to think about those profound things, so he didn't think about anything else and just concentrated on cooking.

Wu Liuyi stayed for a while, then lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

He didn't bother to think about it.

Chen Fan's thoughts were not something that Wu Liuyi could understand.

Chengcai was also stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his head to eat.

After thinking for about half a minute, Gao Cheng raised his head and asked Chen Fan: "The leapfrog combat you are talking about means using helicopters to transport combatants to the target area to fight. Like a frog, they don't get hung up on the midway, but go straight to the target. area, just jump over?”

"Yes." Chen Fan nodded.

Gao Cheng frowned and said: "We have tried this combat method before, and the effect is limited. The helicopter drives straight in. It can indeed catch the Blue Army by surprise, but the problem is that our subsequent troops cannot keep up and can't open the relevant channels. , the troops in front and the troops behind were still cut apart, unable to form a joint force."

Before Gao Cheng could finish speaking, Chen Fan said: "Company commander, why do we need to join forces with the troops behind us?"

"Why should we form a joint force?" Gao Cheng was dumbfounded when asked, and he quickly said: "If the follow-up troops can't keep up, then what are the troops in front doing to conquer such a place? Just transport it there by helicopter. There is no way we can occupy that place with our military strength. If the Blue Army randomly brings in a company with some heavy firearms, it will basically be surrounded and annihilated!"

"Why do we occupy that place?" Chen Fan asked again.

"Why do you want to occupy that place?" Gao Cheng was asked again.

After a few seconds, Gao Cheng said: "If we don't occupy that place, then why are we attacking that place?" Chen Fan smiled: "Company commander, the essence of leapfrog operations is not occupation, but guerrilla warfare.

Our Red Army has carried out raids before, but the purpose of that operation was to occupy that place. If you want to occupy that place, then - indeed, the few troops and firepower transported by helicopters will not have much effect!

But why must it be occupied?

Just like our confrontation this time, the Blue Army occupies the right time and place, and deploys heavy troops on the road we must pass. According to traditional combat thinking, if we want to invade inside, we must clear the Blue Army's checkpoints one by one. In this way Only then can the troops enter, occupy and digest one stronghold one by one. "

"But if we change our thinking, instead of occupying, we conduct air assault, or can we call it air guerrilla?"

"Through reconnaissance, we found that a large number of Blue Army troops were deployed on the outside. Then we gave up the outside line and used helicopters to secretly transport combatants into the hinterland of the Blue Army. We specifically selected weak strongholds for attack. If we destroy them, it would not Occupy it, leave immediately in a helicopter, and then, like a frog, swish directly over five or six Blue Army strongholds, enter our next target, repeat the same trick, and kill another Blue Army stronghold."

"We are jumping around like a frog in the heart of the Blue Army, specializing in attacking those weak strongholds. At this time, should the Blue Army return to support or continue to hold on outside?"

"If they continue to hold on, then we will continue to fight and remove the Blue Army's strongholds one by one! Empty their bellies!"

"If the Blue Army returns to support, that's great. The pressure on the front line will be greatly reduced, and we can even attack from both front and back! And the Blue Army returning to support can also become our target!"

Chen Fan talked about his thoughts while eating. Gao Cheng frowned a little in confusion at first, but as he listened, his eyes gradually brightened up. By the end, before Chen Fan had finished speaking, he Throwing away his chopsticks: "Chen Fan, you guys eat slowly, I'll go first!"

A group of people eating in the cafeteria all raised their heads and looked at Gao Cheng, who was dancing with joy, but the guy didn't seem to see him and just ran away as fast as he could.

"Brother Fan?" Cheng Cai looked away from Gao Cheng, who had disappeared, and then looked at Chen Fan and asked: "You seem to have never mentioned the term leapfrog combat before?"

Chen Fan smiled: "I have never mentioned it before, but leapfrog combat is actually not a new thing. It appeared during World War II, but there is really not much research on it now."

What he said is true.

Although this is a parallel world to Earth, military development is not the same as on Earth, and generally speaking, it is later.

According to public reports, our army’s first true air assault brigade on earth was actually only established in 2017.

Of course, before this, there were actually troops similar to the air assault brigade, which were adapted from a certain motorized infantry brigade of the original ** Group Army. They were the pioneers of our army's exploration of air assault troops, but their superiors did not give them The helicopters are equipped in the same way that the Army Aviation Brigade allocates aircraft. Therefore, although the brigade is organizationally closer to the Air Assault Brigade, it is not an Air Assault Brigade in the true sense.

Because of the so-called land-air joint operations at this time, the helicopters of the Army Aviation were just aerial trucks for infantry and could not become aerial combat vehicles. Moreover, they were temporary combinations. They often had disadvantages such as unsmooth command, untimely communication, and insufficient support.

Therefore, the Army's first real air assault brigade belongs to the 75th Group Army and was only established in 2017.

In addition to the traditional infantry battalion, this brigade also incorporated a helicopter battalion. These helicopters came from the newly formed 12th Army Aviation Regiment.

Even the Earth did not have an air assault brigade until 2017, so this parallel world is even more lagging behind. As of now, there is not much research on related aspects, and there is not much theoretical research, so there is not much to mention the corresponding establishment. and construction.

Therefore, Chen Fan's idea is absolutely novel and refreshing.

In fact, the military also has units such as airborne divisions, but they are still somewhat different from the leapfrog assault of air assault.
