Gao Yang habitually wanted to hang up the phone, but before saying goodbye, a spark flashed in his mind, and he said loudly, "Wait, Nate, do you understand the battlefield situation now? Can you give the distribution of both sides’ front lines?"
Nate said strangely, "I’m one of the major forces on the battlefield. If I don’t have a grasp of the battlefield situation, how can I fight?"
Gao Yang snapped his fingers and laughed, "That’s great, old chap. Can you tell about the battlefield situation? It would be best if there was so map or sothing. Could you send soone to give a copy?"
"What do you want it for?"
"This is a big scene, my friend, a real battle with over ten thousand troops on both sides. Do you think I, being so eager to learn, would miss this opportunity?"
There was another reason Gao Yang didn’t ntion. He’s about to set up a big scene himself. If he doesn’t take this opportunity to practice, then he’s not being professional.
After pondering for a mont, Nate said in a low voice, "Alright, I’ll give you an electronic map. The distribution of forces is very detailed. Ram, if you want to participate in this high-quality war, rare in recent years, I can give you a team to lead, or even a battalion. It’s a rare opportunity, think about it."
Gao Yang pondered for a while and said firmly, "No, I would never muddy the waters in Ukraine, so I just need to know your battlefield situation. Hmm, I just want to conduct a war ga on a map."
"I’ll send you the electronic map and give you tily information. That’s it."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang snapped his fingers and said loudly, "Guys, there’s so ti before we eat. Now go find a military map of the terrain nearby, both large and small scale. We’re going to conduct a war ga."
Currently, Satan’s status in the rcenary group industry isn’t low. Their record is good, and they’ve done many significant things, but ultimately, Satan is still just a small rcenary Corps, and Satan’s mbers are all small soldiers with no commander, not even a company commander above rank.
Although Gao Yang holds the honorary rank of major general, that’s an honorary rank, not representing that Gao Yang truly has the abilities of a major general. Additionally, although Gao Yang and all Satan mbers now have a deep understanding of special operations and strong capabilities, when it cos to commanding a unit to fight a conventional war, unfortunately, they don’t have that ability.
Even though they have commanded the Skull Gang in Somalia, the level of combat they engaged in was too low. Satan also commanded many people in Syria, but those could only be regarded as expanded-scale special operations. Thus, no one in the Satan rcenary Corps can command a large-scale conventional war, perhaps they can handle one or two companies, but if given a regint, Satan certainly cannot command it. Modern warfare is not that easy to fight.
Strictly speaking, within Satan, Rebrov might have the deepest understanding of conventional war because he is, after all, a graduate of an advanced artillery command school.
On a particular point on the battlefield, Satan is a very powerful presence, but no one in Satan has the ability to control an entire large battlefield.
The military map has been found, and Yake transposed the battlefield situation from the tablet onto the military map pinned on the wall at its original scale.
Looking at the gradually clarifying distribution of friend and foe on the military map, Glolov murmured, "Who here knows how to do a war ga?"
According to the operational map, issuing combat orders is sothing only done by those at the regint level or above. Gao Yang and the others, unfortunately, haven’t received training in this regard. They can understand the map, but they don’t know how to do a war ga.
War gaming is a complex and ticulous affair, a topic that a bunch of operational staff spend all day researching. It’s hard for the bunch of big-headed soldiers in Satan to tackle this.
Gao Yang rubbed his head and said loudly, "Let’s try it, at worst treat it as a ga. Whether the simulation is correct or not doesn’t matter, we’re not really commanding troops to fight, let’s treat it as a ga."
Number Thirteen shook his head vigorously and then said loudly, "Please, I’m a killer, just a killer. I can’t even read a military map, I don’t know how to look at contour lines, and you want to participate in a war ga? Forget about it, guys, have fun."
Gao Yang said fiercely, "Don’t go! How can you be so unambitious? So what if you’re a killer, you are now a rcenary, so you might very well change careers to beco a general, so you can’t leave. Buddy, you’ve got to have so ambition."
The map was already covered with red and blue markers, the red representing militia and the blue representing governnt forces, with the smallest unit being a company, encompassing the entire battlefield situation of Donetsk Oblast.
Eileen cautiously said, "Isn’t this battlefield situation too big for us? There are around forty thousand governnt troops crowded here in six brigades, and the militia has over thirty thousand forces. This is a battle on a campaign scale. I think maybe we should simulate a smaller-scale battle? Like, simulating two regints?"
Gao Yang murmured, "No, we’ve got to aim high. Commanding just a regint would be too dull. If we’re going to fight, let’s fight a big battle. Co on, guys, let’s first determine the main offensive direction of the governnt forces."
After speaking, Gao Yang cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, express your opinions, I’ll go first."
Gao Yang looked for a stick, but after looking around, he didn’t find anything suitable. At this point, Li Jinfang broke a broom handle placed in the corner and handed the stick over, "Use this."
Gao Yang picked up the stick, pointed at a spot on the map, and said, "I reckon the primary attack direction of the governnt forces is here, between Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. I’ll explain: there’s a tank brigade, an armored brigade, an infantry brigade, two artillery regints, and an engineer battalion of the governnt troops. It’s the standard assault force, and these two places are strategic key points. Once you take these two cities, the gates to Luhansk and Donetsk open. Whether it’s heading east to hit Luhansk or south to strike Donetsk, both are convenient, and the strategic situation for the militia will beco very passive. Most importantly, the fighting here has already started."
Glolov nodded and said loudly, "All other forces are parallel dispositions, coming down a single line. Alright, it looks like the main offensive direction of the governnt forces can only be here."
Everyone agreed with Gao Yang, not because they wanted to flatter, but because their knowledge was limited to this. The enemy’s force distribution was very obvious; there could only be this one main point of attack.
Number Thirteen remained silent. Gao Yang said loudly, "Hey, Number Thirteen, join in."
Number Thirteen pointed lazily at a place far from where Gao Yang and the others were focused and said loudly, "That’s the main offensive direction."
