How can we fight a war without a plan?
Especially for such a large-scale battle, more plans are needed, and it may be necessary to prepare several sets of plans.
Li Xin looked at Liu Yang on the side and said, "Old Liu, you have to work harder."
"You don't need to make a plan. Recently, you should focus on obtaining intelligence on the Gaswu Submersible Order, Dewan Technology, and Nordon Castle!"
"You can use some unconventional means. I'll ask the finance department to approve the funding for you!"
Liu Yang nodded heavily. Compared to others, Liu Yang was the one who needed military merit more.
The previous strange case almost locked his promotion ceiling. The fact that he can still be the head of the garrison is already because Li Xin gave him the opportunity and he paid a huge price behind the scenes to stay.
Everyone else has made contributions to the peace in Yadun's region and the suppression of the rebels, but he can only be said to have made up for his shortcomings.
He needed military merit more than others, and now that he had the opportunity to attack other forces, Liu Yang was really happy.
Li Xin thought for a moment and then said, "There should still be people in the garrison who can contact the two rebels who escaped."
"Tell them to contact the Beacon Fire Resistance Army and the Unyielding Shield."
"We used to be enemies in Yadun, but now they are no longer in Yadun, so we can definitely cooperate!"
"Let's get some information from them, and then we can cooperate and win together!"
"If we can make money, they can make some too!"
Liu Yang immediately responded: "It's the supervisor. I will arrange for someone to contact them after I return!"
Li Xin nodded.
I am increasingly looking forward to what will happen next.
…
After the meeting, all senior officers returned home and began to prepare battle plans.
Of course, they were not working alone. The army's staff officers were also mobilized. With everyone working together and pooling their wisdom, combat plans were quickly completed.
Formulating a battle plan is not as simple as drawing lines on a map. There are many things to consider.
The first is the mission overview. For example, if this time it is an attack, then a brief description of the combat mission is required.
It includes the causes of the conflict, the necessity of the combat area, and the main combat objectives.
Next is the analysis of the combat environment, which requires a detailed description of the terrain, weather conditions, and enemy intelligence in the combat area.
This step is very critical and requires a complete military map to understand the local environment, roads, various supply points, etc.
Intelligence on the enemy is of utmost importance, including troop deployment, unit numbers, troop size, weapons and equipment, and other configuration information.
At the same time, it is necessary to evaluate the enemy's combat capabilities, including combat quality, training level, command system, etc.
Next comes the combat information of one's own side, including the number of troops to be dispatched, their numbers, training status, combat force composition, etc.
Third, it is the deployment of combat forces.
Troops need to be allocated, and participating troops need to be reasonably distributed to various combat directions, including those for the main attack, feint attack, and flank cover.
The various weapons and equipment and quantities required for the battle need to be deployed and prepared in advance.
Fourth, that is the action plan for the battle.
The previous ones were all preparations, and only at this step do we start to get serious.
The stages of combat are divided into: what to do before the war, what to do during the combat, and what to do after the war.
It includes a series of tasks such as troop assembly, material preparation, fire reconnaissance, assault by assault troops, and consolidation of occupied areas.
The coordinated combat plans of various units and how to call for support, every step requires planning and preparation.
Fifth, that is logistical support.
Once the war begins, there are so many things that need to be used, including supply plans for food, drinking water, energy, and ammunition.
How much of these materials are needed in total, where these materials will be stored during combat, how to transport them, etc.
Sixth, risk assessment, alternative plans, and response measures.
The battle may not proceed exactly as planned, and the enemy's reaction is completely uncontrollable.
At this time, the plan needs to have backup plans for various plans, so that the troops can still have plans to follow if the main plan goes wrong.
Although the battlefield environment is ever-changing during combat, that is only for individual soldiers and small-scale units.
For large-scale troops and wars, the outcome of the battle is not determined by how many enemies a soldier kills.
The larger the scale of the battle, the more likely it is that it will proceed step by step according to the plan.
A soldier may be able to kill several more enemies.
But the combat effectiveness of an army is generally fixed.
Sometimes, on a large-scale battlefield, senior commanders are like playing a military chess game, and these troops and numbers are consumed at will like chess pieces in their hands.
The last point is the arrangement of combat time.
This requires advance planning.
The battle plan is like an outline, and the army will do its best to ensure that the mission is carried out according to this outline.
To win a war, you need to work hard not only in the battles but also in the planning.
This time, not only the officers under Li Xin were making the plan, but Li Xin himself was also doing it.
A battle can never be decided on a whim, unless it is an encounter. Even if it is an encounter, there are strategies for dealing with encounters during routine training.
Large-scale military operations can never be accomplished by one person alone. Even the most powerful commander needs a command team.
This is why senior military commanders will be very sad when elite soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but if even officers suffer heavy casualties, it will be the end of the military commander's life.
Li Xin did not formally learn advanced command skills in a military academy, but he had become a military commander and learned through practice.
At the same time, the blueprint of advanced command skills and knowledge would be downloaded into his chip at ordinary times. Li Xin had never studied so seriously in his previous life, but in this life he was able to calm down and study.
He made the plan not just for combat use. After all, even if it was a plan he made, it was still unclear whether it could be used in the end.
The purpose of making a plan is just to let Li Xin think about the process of this operation, and to have more understanding and ideas about the upcoming battle in written form.
Sometimes it is not enough to just think in your head, as thoughts are messy. Writing them down will make them more organized.
