Chapter 84: Triangle Tactics
After the preparatory bell rang, Qin Ge took his textbook and walked towards the podium in the lecture hall, while Prince of Wales and Qin Ge's three ship girls sat in the specially reserved seats in the front row.
As soon as he arrived at the lecture hall, Qin Ge saw the three commanders with the rank of major general and colonel sitting in the front row.
Seeing this, Qin Ge's mouth curled up. Thinking back to when he was at the Naval Command Academy on Earth, he was sitting below and listening as attentively as they were now.
But now, I use the knowledge I have learned to explain what tactics are to soldiers of this level in this world.
This is really fate!
"Attend class!"
Following Qin Ge's voice, everyone stood up.
"sit down!"
After seeing everyone sitting down, Qin Ge placed his textbook on the table.
"In the last class, we talked about what defensive tactics are and the concepts behind them. In today's class, I plan to explain what tactics are from another perspective, and then talk about another tactic within tactics, the offensive tactics."
After Qin Ge finished speaking, he looked at the commanders and ship girls below and continued speaking.
“After the last class, someone asked me if tactics were boring and if there was a better way to learn them.
So I brought this question to this class. It is indeed a boring process to understand the principle of tactics, but it is actually very simple to explain.
For example, I am holding a watermelon in my hand now. This watermelon is the enemy, and we and our ship girls are the knives that cut the watermelon.
Put the watermelon here, take a knife, and cut it along the lines of the watermelon 1, 2, 3. This is called breakthrough. Cutting the watermelon into several pieces is called segmentation. Picking up one of the pieces is called encirclement. And eating the piece of watermelon is called annihilation.
Doesn't it sound very simple? And this is the so-called tactics, breakthrough, division, encirclement, and annihilation. "
Following Qin Ge's vivid analogy, some students who were troubled by tactics suddenly understood. Especially the commanders of the large fleets sitting in the front row and the commanders who had returned from the front line , they all nodded.
"In the last class, I also talked about the defense system. Everyone understands that it is difficult to completely eliminate the enemy's defense system, but if you can find an attack point in the defense system, you can attack it and create a breakthrough.
The key to breaking through it lies in two words: false and real. Identifying the enemy's weak links is a basic quality for a fleet commander, which is not very smart. The smart way is to be good at creating the enemy's false and real, that is, to be good at mobilizing the enemy.
As long as the enemy is mobilized, the previously immovable defense system will reveal flaws and weaknesses, so that the weak links can be found and attacked.
Segmentation is to divide the enemy's defense system into two or more small pieces after the breakthrough. The key to this is to create a situation, that is, to create an arrow that penetrates into the defense system after the breakthrough.
Encirclement means to select one of the enemy forces to form an encirclement after dividing them. The important thing is to isolate a part of the enemy forces or all of them after they are divided.
As for annihilation, it is easy to explain. The enemy has been surrounded, so the last step we take is to annihilate them and win the war.
We can see very clearly that breakthrough is to create conditions for division, division is to create conditions for encirclement, and encirclement is to create conditions for final annihilation.
So next, I will explain to you a breakthrough tactic, or a breakthrough method, to provide favorable support for our attack breakthrough behavior. "
As Qin Ge continued to talk, many people picked up their notebooks and began to write down what was happening.
Especially for the commanders in front, since they were cutting watermelons just now, what Qin Ge said had always brought them a sense of freshness, making them think that this was what war was all about.
Especially when Qin Ge said that he was going to talk about the breakthrough tactics next , everyone looked at the stage intently.
"The tactic I'm going to talk about next can be used in both the defensive and offensive systems. This tactic is called the triangle tactic."
As Qin Ge spoke, he drew a triangle on the blackboard behind him.
"You all know that among all shapes, the triangle is the strongest, so when applied to tactics, whether it is defense or offense, it can echo each other.
Therefore, the triangle tactic is an integrated offensive and defensive tactic. It can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. This is where the characteristics of this tactic are most reflected.
Take the Siren Tide that we are about to face as an example. When the Siren Tide comes, it is not an all-out attack. Instead, it is divided into several large Siren fleets to carry out assaults on various points in our city.
At this time, we can use the triangle tactics to defend and attack. "
As Qin Ge spoke, he tapped the blackboard and drew a circle just below the triangle.
"Assuming that this circle is the Siren's large fleet, if it wants to break through our triangular tactical defense system, it must split its forces to attack point A or point B.
However, due to the relationship between the battle area and the sea area, points A and B are at a disadvantage in terms of enemy attacks, but our fleets at point C can move freely.
Then our fleet at point C will go to support point A, causing the combined forces of points A and C to be greater than the Siren's invading fleet, and quickly destroy them, and then go to support point B.
Therefore, at this time, there can be a gap in strength between points A and B, and the point to be supported must be the weaker side. The point to be defended alone must be guaranteed to have strong firepower to ensure that it will not be lost before the other two points annihilate the enemy.
If the enemy concentrates all its forces to attack one of the two points A and B, then the remaining two points can continue to fire at the Siren army from the side of the Siren fleet and annihilate them.
If the enemy concentrates all its forces to attack our point C, then the attack power of points A and B will be greater , and the enemy will be like being trapped in our encirclement. You all know how to fight back, right?"
As Qin Ge continued to explain, he kept drawing the corresponding formations and marking the attack arrows on the blackboard. This intuitive feeling made everyone very clear about the intention of this tactic, how to build a counterattack strategy in the later stage, etc.
