Soldiers Assault: Veteran Special Recruits

Long Xiaoyun has given detailed data, all of which are based on the calculations of the E5W system, which is also an advantage brought by digitalization.

"Call up the countermeasure plan."

Jackie Chan issued combat orders again, still relying on computer big data for calculations.

"Yes."

Long Xiaoyun input the situation into the computer, and the computer, as if it had artificial intelligence AI, quickly came up with three sets of combat plans based on the current battle situation of both sides.

The first plan was to send the Air Force to blow up the Minghe Bridge on Highway 6 and launch air-to-ground missile strikes on the enemy tank group on Highway 3.

The armored battalion moved from position No. 1 to position No. 7, and together with the 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment at position No. 7, formed a pincer attack and counter-encirclement of the enemy.

The special forces launched a surprise airdrop attack on the rear of the enemy's motorized infantry brigade to cut off its retreat.

Our tank regiment advanced to the Longkou Mountain line, blocked the enemy's advance, and surrounded the enemy.

plan B.

The Red Army's possible response plan...

Jackie Chan's side embodies what high technology means. The combat decisions are made by Jackie Chan, but all data analysis is left to the system.

"Chief, do you think the system we developed is of some standard?" As the main designer of the system, Jing Xiaoshu really hopes to get recognition from others.

Especially from the superior leaders!

"Well, it's indeed interesting." The chief nodded and gave a pertinent comment.

"We input famous battle examples from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, various tactics, strategies, battle ideas, and the effectiveness parameters of modern weapons and equipment into the system. It will then conduct a comprehensive analysis and judgment, and provide commanders with a variety of response plans to choose from, which is similar to playing video games," Jing Xiaoshu further explained.

"It seems that you have done some research on this new thing." Deputy Commander Zhong said.

“It’s not just a little bit of research, it’s a lot of research.”

Jing Xiaoshu is not humble at all, and his confidence is mixed with a little bit of arrogance.

Deputy Commander Zhong looked at Jing Xiaoshu in surprise. Since the battle situation had reached a stalemate, he did not continue chatting with Jing Xiaoshu.

On the other side, Jackie Chan gave an order: "Captain Lin, please help me input the command."

"Yes."

Long Xiaoyun replied.

"The third option is the main one, and the following modifications are made."

Jackie Chan began to dictate, and Long Xiaoyun typed in the instructions: "The engineers placed a remote-controlled explosive device on the Minghe Bridge; the Air Force carried out aerial mine laying in the Tugushan area;
Special forces attacked the enemy tank regiment's oil supply line; tactical missiles launched long-range attacks on enemy tank groups; ground artillery moved to the coastal line and used redwood laser guidance to carry out precision strikes on enemy tanks;

Send out unmanned jammers to conduct full-scale electronic jamming of the enemy. That's all. Give the order."

Long Xiaoyun input all the instructions, but did not convert them into orders. Instead, he stood up and said, "Division Commander, you must issue the order yourself. The E5W system only recognizes the commander-in-chief and no one else."

"And this? Very nice design."

Jackie Chan sat back in front of the computer and pressed the shortcut key to issue the combat order.

Deputy Commander Zhong saw the changes made by Jackie Chan and pressed the Enter key to send several missiles, but the location of the missiles made Jackie Chan very confused.

"What's going on? Why did he throw all the missiles into Lingshan Ferry?" Jackie Chan was very surprised.

"Yes, there is no military target there. Why drop missiles there?" Long Xiaoyun didn't understand what Deputy Commander Zhong meant.

Just when both of them were confused, Deputy Commander Zhong walked through the partition door and came to the Red Army command room.

"Chief."

Long Xiaoyun and Jackie Chan stood up quickly.

"How is it? I think this is okay." Deputy Commander Zhong looked like a winner.

Jackie Chan and Long Xiaoyun were confused. They didn't understand what Deputy Commander Zhong meant. Why did Deputy Commander Zhong come over when the confrontation wasn't even over?

"What? Were you all beaten stupidly?" Deputy Commander Zhong said.

"We are not quite sure what the chief means," Jackie Chan said conservatively.

"You've already been annihilated and lost. What else do you want to understand?"

Deputy Commander Zhong suddenly announced the result, and even commented with his fingers: "I admit that your command is good, and this E5W system is indeed interesting.

But your vision is not broad enough, your memory is not rich enough, and you have not considered the comprehensive factors of war thoroughly enough.

For example, the delicate relationships between major countries and the changes in their status.

China's accession to the WTO, the fight against terrorism after the 911/ incident, and the domestic and foreign policy trends of neighboring countries may all have a considerable impact on a local war.

Let’s not talk about the far distance. Lingshan Ferry is within your defense range, but you didn’t even consider its changes. "

Deputy Commander Zhong specifically mentioned the changes in Lingshan Ferry, and Jackie Chan immediately knew what he was referring to.

Suddenly he realized, "The chief is talking about the reservoir that has not been repaired yet?"

"It only takes a few missiles to destroy a 70-meter-high dam and release more than a billion cubic meters of water. What will be the consequences? Think about it yourself."

After saying this, Deputy Commander Zhong turned and left, deliberately leaving the puzzle for Jackie Chan to solve on his own.

Jackie Chan has already reacted.

Lingshandu Dam has not been built yet. Strictly speaking, Deputy Commander Zhong’s tactics have failed and it is impossible for him to bring down Jackie Chan’s Red Army.

The simulated combat is aimed at future wars, and it just so happens that Lingshandu Reservoir is now being prepared for construction.

From this perspective.

Deputy Commander Zhong did win.

Once the reservoir is blown up, it will inevitably cause a devastating flood. Everything will be submerged wherever the flood reaches, and even the entire Linzhou city will be devastated.

By then, no matter what tanks, planes, or missiles, even the most powerful weapons will be useless.

Soaked in water several meters deep, all of this will become scrap metal.

The Three Gorges Reservoir is a vivid example. In order to ensure the safety of the Three Gorges Dam, the country has stationed more troops there than one can imagine.

From space to the sky to the ground to the water, it can be said to be all-round with no blind spots.

Realizing the existence of Lingshandu Reservoir was like a sword of Damocles hanging over the First Division's head, ready to fall at any time.

Moreover, if they fall, there is a huge danger that the First Division will be completely wiped out in an instant.

In addition, a war is sure to break out in the country within the next twenty or thirty years. Building Lingshan Ferry at this time would undoubtedly be digging a big hole for the First Division.

This is definitely not possible.

In order to remove this huge hidden danger, Jackie Chan went to the military sub-district headquarters and found the old company commander who was already the top leader there. After Gao Cheng became the acting commander of the military sub-district, the new official wanted to make some achievements.

So he brought up the Lingshandu Reservoir construction plan, which had been vetoed by the military district for the past decade, and became the leading party.

"Hello, Commander Gao."

"Master Cheng, how come you have time to come today?"

"I came specially to see you."

"Haha, what's so good about me?"

"This office is nice. How is it? Are you used to sitting in this position?"

"What's the point of adapting or not? I haven't even started yet. Sooner or later, I will go back to be a division commander. My dream is to be a new type of digital synthesizer."

Although Jackie Chan and Gao Cheng have different job titles, their ranks are actually the same, which means they are on the same level, so their greetings are more casual.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Jackie Chan got straight to the point and said, "I heard that you are working on a reservoir recently? So I came here specially to talk to you and discuss it further."

"I have been negotiating with the local authorities, and the talks are almost done. Because that is the headquarters of the First Division, I need to seek your opinions. If you don't come to me, I will have to come to you." Gao Cheng said with a smile.

"I think this project needs further demonstration. After all, once a war breaks out, the Lingsandu Reservoir may become a major hidden danger. Some people say that it is an atomic bomb hanging over Linzhou. I have to be on guard against it," said Jackie Chan.

"It has not been built before because we do have concerns in this regard. I want to know your attitude." Gao Cheng restrained his expression and said seriously.

"I think the construction should be stopped, or the pressure should be eased," Jackie Chan said without hesitation.

"Jackie Chan, I originally wanted to have a good talk with you about our friendship and get your support, but I didn't expect you to have this attitude." Gao Cheng said disappointedly.

"National defense issues cannot be ambiguous." Jackie Chan answered seriously.

"The water crisis is a matter of public concern, so how can he be vague about it?"

Gao Cheng asked back sharply, and then said: "You sit in my position now, as the commander of the Lin Army Division, let's put ourselves in their shoes and see if we can make this matter clear today, okay?"

The military sub-district is also a division-level unit, but it is different from the divisional organs of the field troops and the army group.

The military sub-district is structured on the basis of local troops. It not only needs to consider the combat needs of the troops, but also has the responsibility to maintain good relations between the military and the local government.

If the Lingshandu Dam can be repaired, Linzhou will no longer suffer from water shortage and the people will have enough water.

Then the military-civilian relationship will be as solid as steel!

"Okay, okay, Master Gao, please take a seat."

Jackie Chan didn't want to fall out with the old company commander, so it would be great if he could agree. He simply accepted the suggestion and took the initiative on the spot.

"Haha, great, Commander Cheng."

Gao Cheng also took on a new role, and it was a role he had always dreamed of. He sat opposite Jackie Chan and said, "When you are faced with a city with a population of two million people suffering from severe water shortages, the total industrial output value is stagnant, and the farmers are fighting every year for water for irrigation.

All the high-rise buildings in the city have water supply only below the fifth floor. There is no water supply above the fifth floor. The occupancy rate is less than 30%. What would you do?
You have to know that this happened because of the military's veto, which made the people suffer. Do you think this is appropriate?

What is the People's Army? The people always come first, don't they? "

Gao Cheng said it was a role swap, but in reality he just wanted Jackie Chan to put himself in the shoes of the military sub-district commander and consider the situation from the perspective of military-local relations.

This is also a bit of careful thought.

"Yes, we are the people's army, and we must put the people first."

Jackie Chan first agreed with Gao Cheng's point of view, after all, he had said this for decades, but then he changed the subject and said: "But have you ever thought about it, if a war breaks out one day and the reservoir dam is attacked.

With a flood peak several tens of meters high and hundreds of millions of cubic meters of flood water rushing down, will the villages on both sides of the river still exist? Will our Linzhou still be peaceful?
To put it in a broader sense, the achievements of more than 20 years of reform and opening up will be destroyed in an instant.

Old company commander, if you change positions, you have to change completely. If you were the commander of the First Division now, what would you think? What would you do? "

Jackie Chan's attitude is very clear.

Being alive is the most important thing, and we must overcome water shortage first.

“If I were the commander of the First Division, I would definitely provide an umbrella of absolute safety for this city and this dam.

The First Division is the hope for the future of the military region. If it can't even protect a mere dam, how can it protect the country and the people?

If we can't even protect the people, then what is the point of us soldiers? How can we have the face to wear this military uniform?"

Gao Cheng's words were very heavy, but they just happened to hold the lifeline of Jackie Chan.

Yes.

You always say that dams can be attacked, and once attacked, it will cause great loss of life.

If the enemy attacks, won't you defend?

Your First Division has assembled the resources of the entire military region to build a new type of future combat force, but it can't even defend a small dam. How can you defeat the enemy and defend the country?

If you are afraid of enemy attacks and this and that, then what is the purpose of having an army?
All the roads ahead and behind are blocked.

Jackie Chan has nothing to say!

Because if Jackie Chan still opposes it now, it would be equivalent to telling Gao Cheng that I, Jackie Chan, am a loser who is afraid of taking responsibility and is afraid of the enemy's attack before the battle, so I ignore the needs of the people.

Jackie Chan never admits defeat, so it is impossible for him to refute Gao Cheng again.

Jackie Chan and Gao Cheng had a heated debate over the reservoir issue, and the final result was obvious and basically decided.

On the other side, after Deputy Commander Zhong inspected the troops, he invited Secretary Zhang to meet at the ancient artillery fort.

"Oh, Deputy Commander Zhong, you really know how to choose a place. This place is much better than holding a meeting in a hotel." Secretary Zhang smiled with satisfaction.

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who brought me here the first time I came to this ancient fort."

"Hahaha."

As soon as Deputy Commander Zhong said this, everyone laughed.

"That year, we both had just been promoted, you were single, and I was alone. You told me there was a place that was really fun and asked me to go there and take a look." Deputy Commander Zhong said with nostalgia.

"I remember that when you first came here and saw that it was all over with weeds, you scolded me for deceiving you and said that this was not a fun place at all and that it would be better to go to the city and walk around the streets and look at pretty girls. But when you saw this Krupp cannon, you stopped scolding me."

"Hahaha."

Secretary Zhang's recounting of the funny things that happened in the past caused everyone to laugh happily again.

"It's been a flash. More than 30 years have passed. Time flies."

Deputy Commander Zhong was very moved, and then said: "Hey, Lao Zhang, standing on this ancient artillery platform and looking at the night view of Linzhou, it is still very beautiful."
