At the same time, Patton also called the division commander and chief of staff of the 82nd Airborne Division to his office.
The commander of the 82nd Airborne Division was none other than Ridgway, and his chief of staff was Taylor. In another time and space, on the Korean battlefield ten years later, this old pair caused a lot of trouble to the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
But now, in terms of command experience, these two are just freshmen, even though they are more than one round older than Zhong Yi.
Patton said: "Ridgway and Taylor, I don't want to say more, I just want to say one thing, I don't want to lose to the Chinese at all, especially not to that young boy, do you understand what I mean!"
Ridgway exchanged a look with Taylor and said, "General, don't worry, we won't lose."
"Yes, our 82nd Airborne Division will definitely annihilate their defenders before the National Army's 1st Airborne Division." Taylor also said confidently, "There is no doubt about this."
Barton nodded and said, "I want to hear your specific thoughts."
"There's nothing new, it's all taught in military school classes." Taylor said, "Colonel Smith's A regiment will put up a standard defensive formation."
"The three infantry regiments of our 82nd Airborne Division will form a standard assault formation."
"The mortar regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division will provide strong artillery support."
"With absolutely superior strength, good training and advanced offensive tactics, we will win the final victory without any doubt. It is impossible for the Chinese to defeat us."
¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Barton had a vague premonition.
Li Qiwei shrugged and said: "General, the main reason is that we have never had any contact with the Chinese army before, especially the national army led by General Zhong Yi."
"So, we can't make targeted deployments."
Speaking of this, Li Qiwei suddenly said: "By the way, General Stilwell and General Zhong Yi are partners. He should know General Zhong Yi's style and the characteristics of the national army under his command very well. Why don't you send a telegram to ask for advice? Him?"
"I have already asked Stilwell for advice." Patton frowned and said, "But he could only provide some very general statements. He repeatedly said that Zhong Yi's command style is very radical, but also very safe. I really I can¡¯t imagine how the two words radical and prudent can be unified into one person?¡±
"And the army under Zhong Yi's command is very tenacious."
"However, without losing their cunning, the Japanese army always suffered heavy losses on the battlefields of China and Southeast Asia."
"So when you estimate the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, you must use the highest standards, exceeding the standards of the German army, and treat them as the most dangerous opponent."
"Is thisis this necessary?" Taylor looked at each other.
Li Qiwei said disapprovingly: "General, you said General Zhong Yi's commanding attainments are very high. I believe this. In any case, he can be regarded as a top student who graduated from our West Point Military Academy."
"But you have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army under his command is comparable to that of the German army."
"I cannot agree with this point. How can the Chinese army compare with the German army?"
Patton insisted: "Just formulate a combat plan according to the German army's standards, and immediately re-formulate the combat plan."
"Okay, okay." Li Qiwei shrugged and said, "Then make a combat plan according to the German army's standards, although I think this is not necessary at all."
¡¡
Ten days later, the exercise finally began.
Zhong Yi and other senior generals of the national army, as well as senior generals of the US military such as Patton, all came to the rostrum to observe the scene, but none of the senior British generals such as Mike showed up.
On the one hand, it¡¯s because I¡¯m angry.
On the other hand, it is also because this is an exercise between the Chinese army and the US military and has nothing to do with the British army.
Zhong Yi and Patton didn't care either. To be honest, from the beginning, Zhong Yi didn't expect much from the British army because the composition of the British army was too complicated.
There are servant armies from Australia and New Zealand.
There are servant armies from Canada and Southeast Asia.
?????????????? More are the servant armies of India and Nepal.
Such a servant army has no sense of identity with Britain, so where can it get its fighting power?
There won¡¯t be any big problems when fighting against the wind, but once fighting against the wind, these armies are almost made of sand.An army falls apart when the wind blows.
So Zhong Yi never came to the British Army with any expectations.
On the contrary, Zhong Yi has great expectations for the US military.
Because facts have fully proven that the US military is also a force capable of fighting.
In order to facilitate senior generals to watch the battle, the rostrum is dozens of meters above the ground.
Therefore, looking down from the rostrum, you can have a panoramic view of the positions of the US Army A Regiment on the left and right sides and the defensive positions of the 1st National Army Regiment.
Seeing that the A Regiment of the US Army and the 1st Regiment of the Chinese Army dug a trench around the camp and introduced seawater, Zhong Yi and Patton immediately showed tacit smiles on their faces.
In this game, both sides were evenly matched.
The Chinese people are really smart, but Americans are not all stupid pigs.
Immediately afterwards, smoke and dust began to rise from the desert in the distance, but the main forces of the Chinese 1st Airborne Division and the US 82nd Airborne Division drove over.
Since it is an exercise, it is impossible to conduct airborne operations.
Because airborne landings in this era are very dangerous.
Even under the best weather conditions, the airborne mortality rate is over 10%!
If you encounter harsh weather conditions, the mortality rate of airborne landings will even exceed 30%!
This means that nearly one-third of the soldiers will die just by parachuting!
With such a high mortality rate, of course the airborne troops could not actually parachute during the exercise, but could only simulate airborne landings, so they came in Dodge trucks.
As soon as the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army arrived on the battlefield, it immediately deployed its troops and surrounded the 1st Regiment of the Chinese Army from three directions. Only the side near the sea was left unencircled, so it was actually equivalent to an encirclement on all sides.
However, the 1st Airborne Division of the National Army was not in a hurry to launch its operations after arriving on the battlefield.
By noon, the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army had completed its deployment and immediately launched a fierce attack on the 1st Regiment of the National Army.
I don¡¯t know if it was because of the exercise, but the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army was very willing to spend money. It started a battalion-sized group charge. After one battalion was "bathed out", it immediately put in the second infantry battalion.
The engineers of the 82nd Airborne Division were also very brave, risking their lives by jumping into a trench filled with seawater to build a pontoon bridge.
However, there has been no movement from the Chinese 1st Airborne Division. The US 82nd Airborne Division has been fighting all afternoon, but there is still no movement from the Chinese 1st Airborne Division.
