They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 245 The army gathers and the blue army attacks

Looking at the direction of the 169th Battalion's maneuver, Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the [-]th Brigade, also stood at the entrance of the temporary headquarters of the brigade at some point, looking leisurely into the distance.

Hehe smiled and said: "That's good. Our brigade has not been arranged to fight from above. The fifth battalion has to fight by itself. I hope the Blue Army's large-scale attack tonight will not be touched by them."

"If we encounter one, the Blue Army's synthesizer is no joke."

"He's not that stupid." After regaining his composure, Wang Junwei gradually realized something was wrong. After getting to know each other for a while, he knew Chen Ming's temperament very well and he had a strong purpose in doing things.

Belongs to the Lord who will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit.

It is almost impossible for a commander like him to fight a weak battle from the front. He is determined to use the blue army's defense map to go around and pick out the weak.

This kind of arrangement is not difficult to guess, but ordinary people can't do it. The risk is too high, and how can they go around and fight when the morale of both sides is high?

At the beginning of a war, each unit usually has the highest defense level, so it is difficult to stand a chance.

"Forget it, let them figure it out on their own." Wang Junwei roughly figured out the movements of the fifth battalion.

Turning around and returning to the conference room, he was not worried about what Chen Ming would do, or it was useless to worry.

The Blues' attack tonight will definitely use most of their frontline firepower. Whether they can withstand it or not is a matter of debate.

He simply stared at the defense map on the table and began to discuss the next battle.

The major military training is about to begin, and the military region headquarters will soon gather them, the No. [-]s from the brigade, in the command room to discuss coordinated operations and respond to the Blue Army's offensive.

Before that, the first thing Wang Junwei had to do was to ensure that the units in the 169th Brigade could withstand the Blue Army's frenzied attack tonight.

Even if they are not blocking the front line, no one is sure that the Blue Army will not come. There are four elite main divisions in the Xinjiang Military Region, and Southern Xinjiang accounts for the second.

Wang Junwei can't guarantee how powerful their combat effectiveness is, but the environment here is really harsh. Since ancient times, the more difficult it is to survive in an area, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops that appear.

In addition, they traveled a long distance and were not adapted to the plateau environment, which put them at a disadvantage. The Blue Army had no reason not to launch an attack.

The brigade headquarters is discussing, and the Fifth Battalion is also studying.

Inside the battalion command vehicle.

Chen Ming, Du Longfei, and Zhang Jintao gathered around the defense map and praised it.

The strength of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region cannot be underestimated. Although it is only a military region under the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region, it also manages six military divisions. However, a hundred kilometers in front of them is stationed the famous Tianshan Iron Cavalry, a fully-manned combined division.

Chen Ming pointed to the Blue Army station and said with a smile: "Batalion Commander, instructor, we must avoid the frontal battlefield. This is not a place where we can play around."

"The Tianshan Iron Cavalry has five regiments, three composite regiments, one firepower regiment, one support group, and nine composite battalions."

"We have no chance of winning against any team."

"In order to ensure maximum firepower and mobility, the Blue Army also arranged for a mountain combined brigade to be stationed. According to the establishment of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, this mountain combined brigade should be a combat unit adapted from the previous Baiyun Mountain Regiment, right?"

"That's right." Du Longfei nodded with twinkling eyes, "It's the former Baiyun Mountain Regiment. This is a combat unit that focuses on maneuverability."

"The equipment of our 71st Army is completely different. Their infantry battalion mainly fights and is equipped with Lynx assault vehicles and Warrior protected assault vehicles."

"In such rugged mountainous areas, our wheeled armor has an even greater advantage. Once locked by a combat unit like theirs, no matter how well prepared we are, we will not be able to get rid of the infantry battalion of the Baiyun Mountain Regiment."

"Then go around them and avoid a head-on collision." Chen Ming smiled nonchalantly.

When we come to other people's territory, the weapon configuration of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region is definitely more suitable for the combat environment here. A light combined battalion, or a medium-sized combined battalion like the fifth battalion, is considered good.

The heavy ones basically lay down and fought in positional battles. Once they moved, they would be beaten hard by the blue army like flying a kite, and they could kill the heavy combined forces.

After all, the area here is too big. The gain of heavy equipment movement outweighs the loss. It cannot defeat the host and can only passively resist the attack.

Chen Ming thought for a moment, compared the defense map, marked a position on the visual command terminal screen, and shouted to the radio commander: "Helicopter squadron, stop advancing and gather at the marked point."

"To fight tonight, you are temporarily separated from the fifth battalion. You do not need to participate in the battle unless there is an order."

"Other companies, pay attention to the forward speed, conduct comprehensive cooling of the tanks every [-] kilometers, inspect and maintain the tanks to ensure normal operation."

"There are less than seven hours until the start of the major training. We are more than 60 kilometers away from the target point. During the cooling down period of each company's tanks, each company commander arranged to rest and prepare for the night battle."

"Helicopter squadron received."

"Armored infantry company received."

"Tank company received."

~~~~
With one response after another, the helicopter squadron followed Chen Ming's instructions, changed direction, and went to other locations to standby.

In a night attack, the position of the helicopter squadron is too easily exposed. The buzzing sound from a long distance will be directly targeted by the Blue Army's air defense warning.

If placed in other positions, if the fifth battalion is chased by other fire units, it can also be a rescue force when necessary.

Soon, Chen Ming and the others arrived at the preset position. The altitude where they were located was not very high, only about 300 meters.

The physical strength of the soldiers will not cause much problems in adapting to this level of altitude. The instructors of each company, together with the squad leader and the health worker, conducted a simple check on all personnel to ensure that there were no problems. They ate some dry food and the whole camp began to rest.Other units are busy building headquarters, launching anti-jamming aircraft, and deploying a large number of early warnings to prepare for the night battle.

However, on the Fifth Battalion's side, all the tanks were extinguished. They were not in the battle sequence, and there was no place for them on the defense map.

In the early stages of the war, the Blue Army would not conduct large-scale inspections of the fighting area. They were relatively safe.

Just simply arrange sentry duty and wait for the big training to begin.

Seeing all the staff members resting in the temporary tents set up, Chen Ming did not feel sleepy at all. He got out of the command vehicle and walked around in this unfamiliar area.

Looking up at the sky in southern Xinjiang, the sky here is bluer than in other areas, and the scenery is more pleasant. However, Chen Ming felt helpless. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the war was less than four hours away.

It's not dark yet.

The moon hung high in the sky, seemingly not far from the sun. This strange sight made Chen Ming feel a little dazed for a while.

rustling.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him. Battalion Commander Du Longfei held two bottles of mineral water in his hand and threw one to Chen Ming. He sat down next to him, looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Why is it, old Chen, this is your first time in southern Xinjiang?"

"Yes, it is indeed the first time." Chen Ming nodded in response.

"Hey, you have to appreciate it." Du Longfei unscrewed the bottle cap, took a few sips and said, "I've never been here, but I've heard a lot of legends here before."

"For example, the Snow Girl, the legend of the Snow Girl in the Snow Mountain, do you know?"

"You are still thinking about the legend." Before Chen Ming could say anything, instructor Zhang Jintao also came from behind and sat on the ground.

The three commanders of the fifth battalion looked at each other and smiled, with worries and yearning deep in their eyes.

Worrying about tonight's battle, I look forward to a good turnaround tonight so that they can make a name for themselves in this big training session.

No matter how detailed Chen Ming's plan was, this was a war after all, not an outing, and no one knew what the battle situation would be like tonight.

Without the Blue Army's defense map, at least part of the mystery could be maintained, and the pressure would not be so great. Now that I know that a large Blue Army force is stationed dozens of kilometers away, the calmer I feel, the more nervous I feel.

The three of them chatted for a while. Du Longfei raised his hand to look at the time and warned: "There are less than three hours left, and the military training is about to begin."

"I'm going to inspect each company to see if the tank camouflage is in place and all heat sources must be cut off. Otherwise, if a large number of Blue Army reconnaissance planes pass by here right after the war begins, we will really take the initiative to deliver it to others. Too fat."

"Old Chen, you should go and rest. You will take the lead in tonight's battle. Once the military training begins, it will be difficult for us to have such a leisurely rest."

Chen Ming nodded without responding. He looked at the night sky that was starting to turn dark, and the tension he felt just now slowly dissipated.

Their position is too close to the Blue Army, only a few dozen kilometers away. At this distance, once the Blue Army has a whim and arranges armed reconnaissance aircraft to patrol before a major training, they will be considered disguised.

Even if they turn off all electronic facilities and cut off all heat sources, there is no guarantee that they will not be discovered. Once locked, they must move.

Darkness is sometimes the best protection.

Judging from the position on the defense map, they are definitely in a position where they can avoid heavy firepower confrontation, but who can say for sure when it comes to fighting?
Who can guarantee whether the Blue Army will suddenly clear a vacuum area at the red-blue junction line in advance.

Fortunately, the other party didn't do this.

Chen Ming got up and returned to the command vehicle, leaning on the back of the chair and forcing himself to sleep.

That night, at 23:55, a dozen bombers at high altitude passed by the fifth battalion with roaring sounds.

The rumbling sound wave came from far and near, waking up many sleeping soldiers, including Chen Ming, who was resting with his eyes closed. He was also awakened by the sound and quickly came outside the command vehicle.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

There was a faint sound of bombing in the distance. This was the early stage of the military training. The military region specially arranged for bombers to drop live ammunition into the uninhabited area at the outermost edge of the training to simulate a real combat environment.

At the same time, a notice from the director's department came from the public radio stations of the red and blue sides, indicating that the countdown to the military training had officially begun.

As soon as the radio announcement was completed, dozens of kilometers away, the Blue Army's large forces began to move, and hundreds of Type 15 light main battle tanks emerged from the chrysalis.

Following closely behind were hundreds of 100A infantry fighting vehicles equipped with 04mm main guns, followed by more than a dozen 20-barreled rocket launchers and Hongjian-10 anti-tank missiles.

Behind them were hundreds of Lynx assault vehicles, gathering quietly under the cover of night.

Each vehicle can carry hundreds of kilograms of supplies, or combat infantry, ready to move forward and press into the Red Army combat zone.

Chen Ming seemed to be able to feel the vibrations of the ground amid the dense cluster of black chariots, dozens of kilometers apart.

Staring at the position where the Blue Army was setting up defenses, I felt a faint sense of oppression as the training began.

All suppressed.

The soldiers of the fifth battalion began to gather in a tacit understanding, and there was no sound at all.

They waited for the Blue Army to launch an attack, and then it was time for them to take action.
