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

Chapter 248 The Eighth Division is dispatched, unexpected visitors come to the battlefield

"Battal Commander, this small group of Red Army troops have made it clear that they are here to disgust us, so we should simply pursue and destroy them."

In the command room of the Second Battalion of the Blue Army, a staff officer stood up and made a suggestion in anger.

The losses from two consecutive attacks were not big, at most a dozen people were eliminated, but it was always frustrating to be beaten passively.

There were some hot-tempered warriors whose lungs were almost exploding with rage.

He came up and fired two rounds at every turn, and the entire battalion was startled. No one knew when they would be bombed unexpectedly. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are more afraid of being missed.

Who can stand these damn artillery vehicles watching in secret?
The second battalion commander of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and waved his hands with a trembling face: "Go ahead and stay still. The enemy is obviously trying to lure us out."

"Comrades, don't forget, we are a mountain assault brigade. We must move quickly. All supplies on the front line are behind us. If we move, I'm sure more combat troops will infiltrate in the future."

"Go, arrange the backbone of the company, calm the soldiers' emotions, and stand ready. No one is allowed to take the initiative to attack."

"Yes."

The second round of attacks by the Fifth Battalion Firepower Company had no effect.

Chen Ming sat in the command vehicle of the fifth battalion, raised his hand to touch his chin, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Through testing, he had now determined that there were not many people in the Blue Army station.

Otherwise, it is impossible to stay still in the face of provocation. All forbearance comes from insufficient firepower. This is an iron rule.

"Interesting." Chen Ming smiled and looked at the time. It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. According to the time of dawn in southern Xinjiang in spring, the sun should come out in at most two hours.

It is very likely that the front line will cease fighting during the day. Even if the fighting does not cease, the director will consider the intensity of the war and arrange for the Blue Army to continue to support the front line. Their position is too dangerous.

We must get a result tonight, and then stay away from the battlefield and look for opportunities again.

If the Fifth Battalion wants to survive on the battlefield for a long time, it must be humble, avoid the sharp edge of the army, and lurk in the dark to cause trouble.

"Give me the order. The fire company will maneuver to within two kilometers of the Blue Army's station. If you don't retreat this time, you will fight hard for me later. When the Blue Army becomes desperate, I will withdraw again."

"Be careful and don't be too greedy."

"Yes, continuous firepower received."

They harassed the Blue Army combat troops one after another. Seeing that the other side never showed a fighting attitude, the temporarily assembled firepower even made several platoon leaders happy.

Not as nervous as at the beginning.

Order the soldiers to load the artillery shells and advance to the designated position again.

Waiting for the order to fire.

Dozens of drones from the support company were scattered within [-] meters of the Blue Army's defenses for low-altitude reconnaissance.

One piece after another, the investigation information together with the pictures appeared on the big screen of the visualization terminal like a movie, while Chen Ming stared at these pictures.

He was waiting for the Blues to let their guard down.

It had been half an hour before they launched the attack. This time the Blue Army would definitely be prepared. If they were prepared, it would be pointless to attack them.

At this time, within the defense fortifications of the Second Battalion of the Blue Army, several soldiers sat on assault vehicles and looked into the distance with depressed expressions, lighting a cigarette and waving it into the darkness.

Trying to attract the attention of the secret enemy.

The battalion headquarters has issued an order to cancel the alert state, and the entire battalion remains awake and ready to fight.

In addition to concealed whistles, smoking is allowed.

Not only is Chen Ming testing the Blue Army again, they are also testing the strength of the attacking enemy to see what the other side wants to do.

The Blue Army soldier who lit the cigarette waved it twice, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth boringly, and cursed: "Damn, this battle was so fucking frustrating."

"Originally, it was to prevent special attacks from the Red Army. I also wanted to capture a few special forces for fun. Now it's better. A few artillerymen appear out of nowhere and harass me from time to time. It's really unlucky for his grandma."

When another Blue Army soldier heard him scolding, he also took out one, bit it in his mouth, lit it, and looked up at the dark night sky in the distance. If there was a special forces attack at this time, they would be the first to be called out for this kind of action.

But at this time, no one cared about the attack, and they were all troubled by the fifth battalion.

"Hey, do you think it's weird? Why do I always feel like there's another gun pointed at me in the dark?"

"Stop thinking blindly, where did the artillery come from? If those few Red Army bastards dare to come again, labor and management will backhand and destroy them."

"Don't worry, last time we fired after an hour. This time I guess these rabbits have set their alarm clocks, and they will definitely fire again later."

"What do you think the headquarters thinks? It's just a grasshopper after the fall. It's enough to kill it. Why don't you let it be chased?"

"Who knows."

A few old men complained, and the scarlet cigarette butts were clearly illuminated on the large command screen of the fifth battalion.

Chen Ming couldn't hear what they said, but he could guess a thing or two through their expressions. He looked at them with a smile and didn't give any orders.

Another half hour passed.

It was already before dawn, the darkest time, and also the time when people are most sleepy.

I watched these old guys go from being calm at first, to being impatient, to taking a nap silently.

After several minutes of silence.

Chen Ming once again issued the order to attack.

"Firepower company, open fire, aim at the Blue Army station and bombard it. Truck artillery platoon, keep the distance and aim at the Blue Army station ten kilometers behind. I don't believe they can still remain silent."

"Yes, continuous firepower received."

boom boom boom boom
The soldiers of the fifth battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, aimed and fired at the target in high spirits.

This time, I didn't say that I would change places after one shot. That would be a life-threatening attack.

The 120mm self-propelled howitzer, Type 09 truck gun, and Type 08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle all roared.

With a "boom" sound, a cloud of dust arose from the ground.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

More than a dozen artillery shells were launched towards the Blue Army camp.

The Blue Army soldier, who had just closed his eyes to rest, was frightened again and his lungs almost exploded.

"It's not over anymore. Boom." A puff of white smoke curled up.

"Hidden, cover quickly, all patrols enter the fortifications, be careful not to be injured by artillery shells."

"Damn it, if our tanks hadn't been on the front line, we would have let these idiots of the Red Army commit crimes over and over again."

"Turn on the ballistic radar, kill these idiots for me."

The Second Battalion station was once again in chaos, with people shouting and shouting, but people could only shrink up to avoid being injured by falling shells.

At the second battalion headquarters, the battalion commander listened to the sound of gunfire in the distance with a livid face. He could hardly stand it any longer.

As a soldier, being beaten two or three times was too much for him, no matter how good his mental quality was.

"Contact me to the brigade headquarters and call the first and third battalions at the same time to prepare for attack."

"Yes."

He can make the decision in a close encirclement, but if the troops left behind want to pursue them, they must give permission from the commanders above.

But Chen Ming also became ruthless, vowing to force out all the trump cards of the Blue Army station, and commanded the fire company to move forward.

When the car stops, the cannon sounds, and when the cannon sounds, the car moves.

Continuing to press forward, from a distance, the mortar shells fired by the fire company at close range were like charcoal thrown into the Blue Army station.

The five battalion support companies in the rear, the artillery company, and even the rear helicopter squadron are ready for a full-scale war.

The artillery fire was roaring, and the Blue Army seemed to have noticed the determination of the small Red Army combat unit this time. The firepower of a company was not large, but if they were allowed to blast like this, a battalion would be finished in a few minutes.

The news quickly spread back to the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade Headquarters. The brigade commander listened to the sound of artillery in the distance and looked at the Director's Picket Judge sitting at the headquarters with a puzzled look.

"Old Sun, which unit of the Red Army has penetrated into the rear?"

"Tonight is not included in the combat plan."

"Could it be that Ryuga from the 73rd Army has come around again? No, it's not their fighting style. Ryuga will not delay for so long. There is no chance that they will retreat on their own."

"I don't know." The chief referee shook his head decisively. The fighting at the front was so fierce now that there was no way to keep statistics on the establishment of each unit. If any Red Army combat unit left the main battlefield and ran to the rear to cause trouble, where would he know where to go.

The scale of this battle is too large, and the director's department has the head of the military department in charge. Calling to inquire at this time may not be fruitful.

In large-scale operations, some rules will become dispensable. For example, the fifth battalion, an unorganized unit, is allowed to enter the battlefield.

The commander of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade frowned. It was not that he did not attack. Their brigade was responsible for transporting logistics supplies. Even without this responsibility, the combat effectiveness of the entire brigade was less than one-fifth.

If you don't understand the enemy's firepower layout, you won't dispatch rashly.

The forward position is blocked by fortifications, and even a company of the Red Army cannot get in.

But it's different to launch a pursuit. Maybe the few remaining people will be accounted for.Just when he couldn't make up his mind, the battalion commanders ran over from the headquarters.

"Brigadier, let's fight. The brothers in the frontier fortifications can't bear this anger anymore. A mere company of the Red Army shelled our second battalion's position over and over again."

"Yes, brigade commander, you see how urgently they are pressing us, they must have thought that we did not dare to attack. It is assumed that we have no one, so now is a good time to fight back."

"Brigadier, give the order."

The brigade commander's cry for battle made the brigade commander feel dizzy. How could they be afraid of a company of the Red Army?

They were worried that the other side would have backup, and no matter how awesome the tank group was, they would not be able to cross a trench several meters wide if the fortifications were dug.

If you chase them out, it will be equivalent to giving up the advantage of the terrain, the vast world, and it may not be who can make a difference.

But if you don't fight and let the other side bombard you, the losses will be considerable, especially the morale, which will be a big blow.

"Brigadier Commander, contact the Tianshan Cavalry in front. They also have a combined warfare unit. They have arranged for a tank company to assist us. This will not affect the protection of combat supplies, but will also prevent our side from suffering a huge loss without heavy firepower."

"Fight, Brigadier."

Several battalion commanders almost burst into tears and complained. Looking at their posture, they wanted to bite the Red Army commander several times to vent their anger.

The dignified mountain assault brigade was forced to this point by the firepower of a company, and no one else could.

Although the strategic layout is important, we have to consider the current situation. The commander of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade was moved.

He waved his hand and said: "Go, contact the 8th Division in front, dispatch two tank companies, and give me a severe blow to the arrogance of the Red Army."

"If you find something wrong, stop immediately and focus on the main battlefield. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Several battalion commanders roared in unison, their backs stiffening instantly.

The mountain assault brigade would have no confidence in fighting without tanks. Now that there are two tank companies dispatched by the Eighth Division to assist, what else is there to fear?

Just do it.

At this time, the fire company of the [-]th Battalion was less than one kilometer away from the [-]nd Battalion's defenses. The truck gun did not move. After firing several rounds at the rear of the Blue Army, it stopped attacking.

Prepare for the coming war with all your strength.

Chen Ming listened to the reports from the support company and the special reconnaissance team, his eyes fixed on the battlefield. The blue army had concerns, and he also had concerns.

No one can figure out who's true or false.

Both sides are betting.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, the sudden latest report from the support company confused all the soldiers of the fifth battalion.

"Report, a military jeep has been detected moving towards us ten kilometers away from the southeast."

Ten kilometers away?jeep?

The fifth battalion, which was in tense preparations for the battle, received the news. Almost instantly, the long-distance artillery attack of the artillery company and the support company turned the turret and locked the jeep.

"Report, is the attack locked?"

"No need, how much noise can a jeep cause? How many people can it fit in?"

Chen Ming shook his head slightly and continued to give instructions.

"Order the fire company to stop advancing, retreat while fighting, and continue to attract the blue army to come out to pursue."

"Pay close attention to the vehicle in the distance. Once the vehicle deviates from the direction it came from, give it a ride."

"receive."

"Report, our command system has just been invaded. The opponent's interference frequency band is not strong and cannot be continuously tracked."

"Report, the source of the intrusion signal has completely disappeared."

News also came from the special investigation team.

The situation on the battlefield began to become delicate. The Blue Army, who had been filled with indignation all night, turned out to be silent this time.

Truck artillery shelled the Blue Army position for a long time, but the station in the distance did not respond. Various signs made Chen Ming somewhat unsure of the situation.

There is always calm before the storm. Chen Ming thought for a moment and gave the decisive order.

"Fire Company, retreat immediately, at full speed."

"Helicopter squadron, take off, ready to assist at any time."

Less than 3 minutes after Chen Ming issued the order, the Blue Army finally made some movement.

More than fifty Warrior assault vehicles and Lynx assault vehicles emerged from the Blue Army's position. In the front row of the assault vehicles, twenty tanks took the lead.

The picture had just been projected onto the large screen of the fifth battalion command, and before everyone could figure out the blue army's combat firepower configuration this time.

At the same time, the signal of the drone ahead was suddenly interfered with, and the support team following the fire company lost control of the drone.

Contact with the Fifth Battalion was also lost, and the electromagnetic signal was completely cut off.

The [-]th Tianshan Cavalry Division was dispatched.

It's not that they haven't heard the sound of artillery shelling, but on the battlefield, even being attacked from the rear is a common occurrence. The tactics are cunning and changeable.

In the absence of an order to rush for reinforcements or a clear understanding of the enemy's firepower layout, troops will generally not be proactively mobilized.

But this time it was different. The Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade requested reinforcements. The Eighth Division not only dispatched two tank companies as bait, but also followed a light battalion in the rear.

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. In order not to expose its firepower, it immediately implements frequency-cut jamming on nearby reconnaissance equipment.

"Report to command, the fire company is disconnected from our command system."

"Report, the jeep is only four kilometers away from us in the southeast direction."

"Report, the special reconnaissance team is working hard to find the source of interference."

"Report."

One message after another was gathered into the command vehicle of the fifth battalion. Battalion Commander Du Longfei clenched his fists and became extremely nervous.

This is the best time to exercise a commander's on-the-spot command ability. The leading troops lose contact and the intelligence returns to zero overnight.

The fifth battalion may have been targeted by the Blues.

All of this was unknown, and he didn't know if Chen Ming could handle it.

Chen Ming, on the other hand, listened to all the reports calmly.

"All combat units should not panic, the special reconnaissance team will implement counter-interference."

"Helicopter squadron, dispatch."

"Support company, activate radar detection to the maximum range, and make air defense arrangements."

"Armored infantry companies, tank companies, and artillery companies are fully prepared for battle."

"The support company launches a vehicle-mounted surveillance drone to expand the scope of investigation."

"The entire battalion is ready to fight."

"Yes, helicopter squadron received."

"Security company received."

"Special Reconnaissance Team received."

"Artillery battery received."

~~~~~~~
Just when the fifth battalion entered combat mode, the jeep coming from a distance finally arrived.

According to Chen Ming's guess, if the car deviated from the direction on the way, it means that the other party hit the car by mistake and sent him away with a cannonball.

If you charge straight towards him, it's very likely that he's one of your own.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly again.

The jeep stopped. Under the leadership of the company commander of the engineering unit, a lieutenant colonel led two fully armed soldiers through the fifth battalion tank cluster and came to the command vehicle.

When Chen Ming saw the visitor, he was a little surprised. The visitor was none other than Qin Dong, commander of the 71nd Special Operations Battalion of the [-]st Army Special Operations Brigade.

Tang Zhen, commander of the artillery brigade, once mentioned that the man who looked very similar to himself was the last time they met during the field training of the second brigade of recruits, because the training was about to begin.

Someone from the special forces set up a helicopter to comrade them to leave. It was Qin Dong who led the team that time, and Chen Ming had seen him.

Relying on his own memory, he recognized it immediately when he saw it this time.

But what is he here for?
