Military / Defense
Chinese term or phrase: 纵深
纵深 is a phrase I always have a hard time translating into English. It is frequently used in military writings such as in 纵深突击,纵深之敌 (as an adjective), and 敌纵深 (as a noun). Could anyone help me with translating the phrase both as an adj., and as a noun in these kinds of context? Thanks.
