Chapter 2672

Both Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo learned their military skills from their fathers, and their level of combat command and tactical thinking were far ahead of their time. In addition, they had more than 20 years of practical experience gained from the Haihan Army's campaigns, which enabled them to become more capable at their age.

You can command complex combat missions such as amphibious landings at a very low speed.

The combat plan is very simple in their words. It seems that they only need to follow the deployment steps. However, if the troops are not well-trained in relevant subjects, confusion will easily occur during the implementation process. For example, a landing is being carried out at this time.

of North Korean troops.

Since the landing target location is a beach terrain, a large sailing ship with a deep draft can easily run aground if it is too close to the shore. Therefore, during the operation, the small boat was lowered to carry the infantry to the landing. However, it is not known whether there was a problem with the equipment on the ship or whether it was due to participation in the exercise.

The soldiers were too nervous and there was some confusion during the process of lowering the boat. Several troop transport ships failed to hoist the boat smoothly into the sea.

After lowering the boat, the soldiers on the boat had to go down to the boat along the rope net and ramp on the side of the ship. During this process, some soldiers slipped and fell into the sea. Fortunately, this was not an actual battle, and there was still time to spare.

These soldiers who fell into the sea were quickly rescued, but these small episodes inevitably delayed the overall attack rhythm.

In order to achieve the simulation effect of actual combat as much as possible, the fire cover provided by the Haihan Fleet at this time was all live ammunition. Although the fictitious enemy on the island did not counterattack the landing North Korean troops, the rumbling sound of the artillery was still shocking.

The North Korean troops who were landing were very nervous. After landing on the beach, it took a long time to deploy their formation and build a beachhead position.

Regarding the poor performance of the North Korean army, Wang Anguo and Shi Chengwu did not pretend to ignore it, but frankly pointed out its shortcomings to Li Xie who was watching the battle together.

Not only did Li Zhi not feel that this was a loss of face, but he was very grateful that they could tell the truth. After all, North Korea has invested huge resources in the construction of the new army in the past ten years, and what they want is not just a showy show. If Haihan will

If officials do not point out these shortcomings, it may become a matter of success or failure when they step onto the battlefield one day.

In fact, from Haihan's point of view, the two young officers did not think too much. They simply believed that if the North Korean army had these problems, they would not be able to arrange for them to cooperate with the Haihan army in similar circumstances in the future, otherwise the North Korean army would commit crimes.

This mistake will probably involve the Haihan Army to bear the consequences.

Fortunately, the training foundation of this unit is pretty good. Although there were small mistakes during the landing process, they were not serious. After a while, they established a beachhead position relatively smoothly, erected several temporary forts, and used field battle equipment transported ashore.

The artillery launches an attack on the enemy target. After this step, the main part of the landing exercise is basically over.

As far as the performance during the landing process is concerned, although it cannot be compared with the Haihan Army, it is definitely much better than the surrounding countries. When Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo saw the back, they both praised it a few times.

Li Zhi put down the telescope in his hand and sighed sincerely: "Our army still makes frequent mistakes in this kind of exercise environment. It seems that it still needs to continue training. I will have to trouble your military advisers in the future!"

Shi Chengwudao: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. Our two countries have been united for twenty years and it is our duty to provide military support to your country."

Li Xie said: "Thanks to your care, there have been no wars around our country in recent years, and we have lived in peace for more than ten years. However, as a result, the army inevitably lacks opportunities for actual combat. It may be difficult to rely only on this kind of exercise with imaginary enemies.

There will be further improvement. Therefore, I have a heartless request. I hope that your country will allow our country to send troops to participate in combat operations against enemy countries in the future, so that our soldiers can hone their combat capabilities in actual combat."

In fact, this is not the first time Li Zhi has mentioned this request. He has mentioned it repeatedly during the more than ten years he has been in office. However, when it is implemented, it will always be difficult to realize his request due to various objective reasons.

expect.

In the early years, the North Korean military was weak and relied almost entirely on the protection of the Haihan Army to defend itself against foreign enemies. At that time, even if there were coordinated actions by the two countries' coalition forces, because Haihan completely did not believe in the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, he would only assign the logistics tasks to North Korea.

They will not be allowed to participate in combat operations.

It was not until North Korea formed a new army in full accordance with Haihan's arrangements that Haihan began to let it participate in some combat operations. It had some actual combat experience along the coast of Japan and the Liaodong region. Only later did Japan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty ask Haihan

He expressed his resignation and promised not to invade North Korea again. As a result, the new army that North Korea had finally formed gradually fell into a situation where it had no battle to fight.

Of course, Li Zhi did not believe in the promises made by the two evil neighbors, so he never relaxed his military construction over the years. However, as time went by, the veterans with actual combat experience retired year by year. Although the current troops are in good training conditions,

The inability to verify their actual combat capabilities made Li Zhi uneasy after all. So whenever he had the opportunity, he would mention this matter to senior military officials in Haihan.

Moreover, Wang Anguo had previously mentioned that North Korean troops would be given priority in future military operations in areas surrounding North Korea, which also made Li Zhi think twice.

Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo looked at each other. Shi Diwen had given them instructions before setting off from Hangzhou, so they had a plan for this.

Wang Anguo said: "If your Majesty wants to train the actual combat capabilities of the army, I am afraid that there will be no chance for the time being around North Korea. Our country's current military deployment directions are, first, the South China Sea, and second, the other side of the ocean where our advance fleet is located. If your Majesty is relieved, that's okay.

You can send a fleet to go there. But it’s a long way. After leaving your country, you won’t be able to come back for a year and a half. Your Majesty needs to think carefully.”

Of course, Haihan was well aware of North Korea's old grudges with its neighboring countries. On the surface, Li Zhiming said he was looking for opportunities for actual combat training for the North Korean army, but in fact, in a roundabout way, he wanted Haihan to support North Korea in retaliating against its neighbors.

But the problem is that Haihan now has many industrial projects in northern North Korea, and the foreseeable profit period is very long. If North Korea goes to war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it will inevitably affect the operation of these projects. There are also many trades belonging to Haihan in the Busan Port in the south.

share, going to war with Japan will also damage Haihan's interests. Therefore, although North Korea enjoys the status of an ally, Haihan does not want to support North Korea in avenging its past revenge through war.

Of course, if Li Zhi is willing to hand over his elite troops to Haihan regardless of the cost and send them to the distant North American continent or the South China Sea Islands to engage in some low-intensity battles with Western ethnic groups, then Haihan will not refuse to join the Confederate Army.
