Chapter: 3275
The government army commander spoke coldly: "Don't play games with me! It's normal for there to be troop losses in war. You want me to explain something? I've lost almost a thousand people here, who will give me an explanation then?"
As he was speaking, the other side gave Lu Zhansheng a warning look and reminded him: "What's more important is that only this way can we avoid being punished by our superiors! If we lose so many people without taking down Hamid, my superior won't spare me, but I believe your superior won't spare you either!"
Lu Zhansheng was left speechless.
The other side spoke correctly, after all.
War losses are not feared, but the worst is when one receives losses and has not yet achieved victory.
If we really can't take down Hamid, I will definitely become a laughingstock at Wándrón Diàn, and even my future will be ruined!
So he looked at the government army commander and said coldly: "Your artillery just bombarded them so many times, but they still have such strong firepower. This proves that their permanent fortifications are quite solid. If this battle turns into a siege war and we attack from below up, it won't be easy to win!"
The government army commander gritted his teeth and said: "Then I'll let the artillery bombard them some more!"
"Nothing works!" Lu Jianjun said. "The artillery bombardment didn't work after so many rounds, and I'm afraid it won't be effective even if we bomb them again!"
He paused for a moment, thinking carefully before speaking: "Alright, send your soldiers to launch a feint attack from the front with heavy weapons, while I lead our brothers of Wan Long Temple to circle around and sneak up to high ground. Then, we'll directly surround their flank!"
As soon as the government army commander heard Lu Jianjun's plan, his eyes lit up.
"A feint attack from the front and a flanking maneuver!"
"This is absolutely a feasible battle plan! This Lu Jianjun really has some talent!"
Lu Jianjun had no idea that his ordinary siege warfare tactics were considered brilliant by the other commander.
This was mainly because the other side's military training was incredibly low, to the point of being laughable.
Although there are continuous battles in the Middle East region, one must admit that the entire modern Middle East is not good at prolonged wars.
Since World War II, the demands on military tactics and strategies as well as geographical layouts have become increasingly high. The entire world has gained a massive amount of war experience from that war, even for those originally weak Southeast Asian countries, which have all become capable warriors. However, in terms of warfare aptitude, the Middle East region has not made any progress and remains far behind other regions.
Countries like Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq have been at war for so long, their armed groups regardless of size are basically guerrilla warfare patterns.
The low military proficiency is a major problem for most countries in the Middle East, except for Israel.
The soldiers' training level is insufficient, the officers' command level is inadequate, and the coordination abilities between different departments and branches within the army are extremely poor. Additionally, the troops often lack strong combat morale, making many times seem like large armies but actually fragile.
Not to mention countries like Syria that are plagued by constant war, even super-rich oil-producing nations with huge military budgets have armies that are a mess except when buying equipment.
For example, Saudi Arabia, which is almost entirely equipped with advanced US-made equipment, had its M1A2 main battle tanks captured by the Houthis during combat. As a result, it earned the nickname "Transport Group Leader".
The military proficiency of oil-rich nations is so woeful, let alone Syria's.
This government army commander who partnered with Lu Jianjun actually never received professional military education. With a team of several thousand people, how would they arrange their troops or develop battle plans? He was basically clueless.
Even the simplest infantry-artillery coordination was proposed by Lu Jianjun. JrNovels.com
