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

Chapter 246: Fighting around the back, wrong defensive arrangement
Rumble.
As the military training began, there was another movement in the sky.

The piercing sound came from far and near, pulling out hundreds of meters of bright light in the dark night sky. The sound was like a drum or thunder.

Soon we reached the sky above the fifth camp.

The sudden change caused the soldiers gathered on the ground to lie down in the camouflaged trenches. The military uniforms they were issued had the effect of insulating heat sources, so they didn't have to worry too much about being discovered.

One, two, ten, twenty Chen Ming silently counted the sounds with a smile on his lips. The Blue Army was quite cautious.

At this juncture, don't forget to conduct an inventory of the surrounding area.

Fortunately, they had already made up their mind to go around and did not dare to enter the Blue Army area in advance. They camouflaged the tank in all aspects early in the morning, turned off the engine, cut off all communication equipment, and waited for the army to set off before taking action.

Otherwise, with this kind of reconnaissance density, the entire battalion will be exposed if there is a slight oversight.

The rumbling continued.

More than 1000 soldiers lay on the lower ground, clasping their hands tightly on the ground, motionless, waiting for an opportunity.

The reconnaissance plane flew at low altitude for more than half an hour before the frequency began to slowly decrease.

But no one relaxed their vigilance, because only the leading units were being investigated. Reducing the frequency could only mean that the blue army began to dispatch with purpose.

Sure enough, on the horizon seven or eight kilometers away, hundreds of tanks were slowly moving. This was a joint dispatch of the Blue Army's combined division and the mountain combined brigade.

The densely packed and black chariot clusters, separated by more than ten miles, could already make the fifth battalion aware. Lying on the ground, they could faintly feel the restlessness on the ground.

The 71st Army is also not to be outdone. Large units continue to gather and move towards the red and blue border lines. The eastern theater is the theater with the largest number of heavily armed combined brigades.

The battlefield where Chen Ming and the others are located is just one of the sections in this major training area. The 2nd Brigade was synthesized, the 35th Brigade was synthesized, the 178th Brigade was synthesized, the 235th Brigade was synthesized, the 71st Artillery Brigade, the 71st Army Aviation Brigade were synthesized one after another. Hold down the battle line and open the battle line.

The war is about to start.

Boom boom boom, the sound of artillery fire seemed to break a hole in Tiandu.

The fire in the distance soared into the sky, almost reaching the fifth camp.

With such a big movement, it was useless to hide or not. Even if artillery was fired here, no one would pay attention to them at this time.

All attention is focused on the frontal battlefield.

Du Longfei got out from under the tank and looked at the fierce battle in the distance. His pupils shrank sharply and he cursed: "His grandma's bunch of blue army bastards are so damn cruel."

"As a host, if you don't stay in your turtle shell, how many troops will be dispatched?"

"Old Chen, are you leaving?"

Chen Ming stood up and patted the hay on his pants, turned to look at the fire in the distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He guessed that the Blue Army would launch an attack tonight, but he did not expect it to be so violent. Not to mention the movement just now, hundreds of tanks would participate in the battle. This intensity could directly cause more than 2 people to be involved in the battle on the frontal battlefield. .

He originally thought that the distance here was far enough and would not be affected. Unexpectedly, because the Blue Army sent out too many people, they stretched the front vertically and almost brought the main battlefield here.

"There's no rush." ​​Chen Ming shook his head and said, "Battalion Commander, please arrange for each company to have meals first. Don't be afraid of losing the dry food you bring. Eat as hard as you can until you're full."

"Now the battle has just begun on the front, but many of the troops preparing for war in the rear have not yet been dispatched, and material transportation has not been invested."

"It is not the time to retreat. We will wait until they suffer casualties and the battle enters a stalemate, making it difficult to withdraw, before we take action."

"That's right, it's always better to be cautious." Du Longfei agreed with Chen Ming's idea. It was really not appropriate to dispatch at this time. The fifth battalion combat unit was still too weak compared to the Blue Army.

When fighting at the front, units at the rear are paying full attention. If they encounter someone who is attacking from behind, they will rush out desperately to fight.

For the Fifth Battalion, the gains outweigh the losses.

Chen Ming got into the command vehicle alone with a box of self-heating pots, took out the Blue Army's defense map and began to observe.

More than 50 minutes have passed since the start of the major troop training, and the distance is calculated based on the troops they can deploy.

After such a long time, those who should be dispatched must have arrived on the battlefield, leaving those cats in their dens to guard their homes. It would be difficult for them to make other moves in a short period of time.

For the Mountain Assault Brigade, Chen Ming aimed at one of the stations on the defense map. The map was not detailed, and it was not divided into company positions. It was just an estimate.

They couldn't afford to offend the compositing divisions, not even a compositing regiment. God knew how many combat troops they had left at the station.

The mountain assault brigade is similar to the light synthetic battalion, except that they move faster and are mainly infantry battalions. You have to pick the soft persimmons to feel good, and it's up to you.

Chen Ming took out a pen to mark the location of the mountain assault brigade, turned around and shouted: "Kong Wu."

"arrive."

"Go, take this map to the support company commander Chen Yuandong and ask him to arrange for people to investigate this area."

"Don't rush in. If you feel something is wrong, retreat immediately. Give him an hour to report."

"Yes."

after an hour.

Chen Yuandong, the commander of the support company, came back with the map. He got into the command vehicle and spread the map on the table.

"Staff Chen, these are the results of the investigation. They are all drawn on the map. The camps of the mountain assault brigade are too close to each other. The furthest distance is less than three kilometers."

"Would it be too risky to fight them?"

"Don't worry." Chen Ming put down his work and took out the marked map. Sure enough, the marked position of the mountain assault brigade, through investigation, showed that their battalions were almost in an encirclement formation.

The battalions gathered around the brigade headquarters.

This is obviously not for long-term consumption, but to prepare for tonight's battle and to quickly assemble combat units.

The mountain assault brigades in the western theater are indeed not easy to mess with. They are collectively turning into infantry special operations. Their maneuvering speed and the role of their equipment are the biggest features of "lighting up the target."

It provides reliable intelligence support for rear attacks and long-range attacks. Once this kind of combat unit is provoked, it is likely to stick to the body like dog skin plaster, and it cannot be shaken off no matter how hard it is.

But this does not mean that their combat capabilities are weak. Every squad and every individual soldier in the mountain brigade has the ability to independently guide air strike informatization, which is prepared for Ah San.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ming wanted to test his power first.

But there is nothing we can do. There is only a Tianshan Cavalry Combined Division and a Mountain Brigade on the defense map. Choose one of the two, and no one will choose the Combined Division.

That guy doesn't have the strength of a brigade, so who dares to provoke him rashly?

It’s okay to go on a mountain tour, but you can’t do it rashly.

After Chen Ming figured out the general situation of their station, he waved his hand and said: "Go, notify the whole battalion of tanks to start, and check the situation of the vehicles."

"Leave in 10 minutes."

"Really want to attack the mountain assault brigade?" Chen Yuandong looked at Chen Ming in shock, a little confused.

From a combat perspective, mountain assault brigades are more difficult to deal with than combined divisions because their role is to mark enemy positions.

Doesn’t this mean rushing to get people to mark you?
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't fight him, why don't you fight the synthesizer? Are you a vanguard?" Chen Ming cursed angrily. He was also confused, but what could he do with these two?
"Then, let's attack the mountain assault brigade." Chen Yuandong stammered and hurried out to give the order.Compared with challenging the synthesizer, the latter is always safe for a little longer.

As soon as the battalion's tanks were started, Battalion Commander Du Longfei ran over and asked solemnly: "Old Chen, do you really plan to fight the Blue Army's mountain assault brigade?"

"If you ask me, let's test the water with the units under the synthetic division. If it doesn't work, we still have a chance to retreat."

"Almost all the mountain assault brigades are infantry battalions. The Southern Xinjiang Military Region's organization is different from ours. If they have a large number of combat units left in their troops, dozens of Lynx assault vehicles will come out to chase us."

"No matter how fast we maneuver, we can't avoid that thing."

"The Lynx assault vehicle can climb steep slopes of more than 60 degrees. It is too easy to chase us."

"That's a crazy doghouse, don't mess with it."

"Battalion Commander, fighting is not just about fighting to expose problems. Retreating is also about exposing problems."

"What's more, I didn't say that the whole battalion would go up and fight." Chen Ming explained confidently: "Fighting around the back is not a head-on fight."

"In the first round of attack, arrange three tanks, three armored infantry fighting vehicles, and some fast-moving artillery vehicles to take the lead."

"First test the blue army's reaction, and then look at the reaction of other nearby units. No matter whether it can be defeated or not, retreat after alarming them."

"If they fight but do not pursue, it means that the firepower in the front has been contained and they cannot provide artillery support to the rear at any time, or they do not have enough soldiers to stay at the station."

"If you are chasing them straight in, try to get rid of them and attack them in another place. There will be heavy firepower from behind, so they don't dare to chase them too hard."

"At present, this is the only way to ensure that we will not be too passive. Also, what we are facing is not the entire mountain assault brigade, but the troops left behind after the army sets off."

Du Longfei sighed. He had to admit that what Chen Ming said made sense. Now it was not a question of who to fight, but a question of finding the fifth battalion to cooperate first.

It is impossible to fight without risks.

Du Longfei stopped saying anything, and Chen Ming took over the command of the entire battalion and began to issue orders.

"The whole battalion is ready. The special reconnaissance team will cooperate with the support company to conduct reconnaissance of the forward route and use modified drones to conduct low-altitude forward reconnaissance."

"Armored infantry company, ground guidance vehicle heading towards the marked point."

"The rear armor, tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles have 300 meters of protection on both wings. The artillery company and support company are in the middle. The engineering detachment is temporarily suspended, and the whole battalion sets off."

After Chen Ming finished explaining, he marked a coordinate on the visual terminal command system screen based on the location of the Blue Army station that Chen Yuandong had just investigated.

In an instant.

The three military Raptors responsible for ground guidance roared out. From the rear, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks moved forward from both wings in the simplest protective formation.

The troops at the front were firing fiercely and shelling desperately, but they didn't know that there was a sixth man in the rear who was going to steal the house.

Just now, the fifth battalion was not very far from the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade, only about 25 kilometers away.

Seeing that more than half an hour had passed, the fifth battalion's chariot team was less than five kilometers away from the marking point.

The special reconnaissance team never reported any movement from the enemy troops, and the support company also did not detect the enemy's reaction.

Chen Ming gave the order again.

"The entire battalion stopped advancing. The artillery company dispatched a mortar platoon, a truck gun platoon, a tank company, and an armored company each dispatched a platoon, and a detachment of infantry was dispatched."

"You continue to move forward according to the forward marking points. Remember, as long as you find the blue army's station, no matter how they arrange it, as long as you reach the attack distance and reach the point where the blue army can see your firepower arrangement, fire for me."

"Don't be reluctant to fight after a round. Return immediately and wait for the next instruction."

"The support company arranges a drone squad to follow, provide reconnaissance, support the company, conduct air defense arrangements, artillery companies, build artillery positions, and be ready to respond with firepower at any time."

"Yes, the artillery company received it."

"Armored infantry company received."

"Tank company received."

~~~~~~
With a response, a small group of main combat forces consisting of mortar platoon, truck gun platoon, tank platoon, armored platoon, and infantry detachment continued to advance.

The soldiers of the fifth battalion were sitting in the chariot, with their fists clenched tightly, waiting nervously for instructions. They didn't know what the result of this trial attack would be.

But there is no doubt that war is inevitable.

In the command vehicle of the fifth battalion, the company commanders, including the battalion commander, were all staring at the advancing troops on the screen, their lips moving but not making any sound.

Only Chen Ming, Du Longfei, and Zhang Jintao acted very naturally. It would be impossible to be unnatural. At this time, anyone could panic, but not the three of them.

This is the Blue Army area, and except for them, everyone is enemies in all directions.

"Five kilometers, four kilometers. Three kilometers. Two kilometers."

Someone silently counted the distance between the advancing unit and the marked point based on the drone positioning picture.

Finally, the Blue Army’s defenses appeared in the drone footage.

People in the rear could see it, and naturally the artillery platoon and armored platoon soldiers of the fifth battalion also saw it.

The Blue Army didn't react at such a close distance, and all of them grinned excitedly, almost reaching below their ears.

His grandma, the turtle calf of the Blue Army, should accept the baptism of artillery fire.

After entering the attack range, the main combat force of the fifth battalion's small group began to adjust the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the Blue Army's station.

At this time, there was silence inside the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade.

There are patrol teams patrolling covertly everywhere in the corner. Next to them are military dogs one after another, sticking out their big tongues and staring fiercely at the station.

In order to give the red side a heads-up this time, they indeed dispatched a large number of combat troops, but not many were left behind.

They know that the front line is tense. In order to relieve the pressure on the front line, as usual, special forces will inevitably come to cause trouble.

You must know that the special operations of the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region are well-known throughout the army. The Golden Eagle Special Operations Brigade, the Northwest Sirius Special Forces, and the Snow Owl Commando are all affiliated to their side.

They know very well that the best way to prevent special operations personnel is not high technology, because now the special forces' technology is slipping one by one, and early warning settings and hidden whistles are completely useless.

People can hack into defense systems and change equipment settings.

The only effective and most primitive method is to place military dogs in a large area within the station. This thing will not be disturbed, right?
However, what the soldiers of the [-]nd Battalion and [-]st Company of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade never expected.

The special forces from the red side did not come. Instead, a combined battalion ran over. At this time, one kilometer away from them, the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the station.

No wonder they didn't think of it.

The fifth battalion was not in the order of operations at all and was not considered by the Blue Army. Other combat units were already blocked on the front line.
