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

Chapter 249: Full-scale attack, going straight into the heart of the Blues

The engineer detachment had already confirmed Qin Dong's identity, and the other party did not take off the epaulettes and armbands. They just led the two soldiers outside the fifth battalion command vehicle.

"What do you call comrade?" Qin Dong stood still, looked at Chen Ming briefly, and guessed that he should be the commander of this unit.

But he didn't know Chen Ming.

"My surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Ming."

"Oh, chief staff officer of the fifth medium-sized reinforced battalion of the 169th Synthetic Brigade?"

"Hello, Staff Officer Chen, I am Qin Dong, commander of the 71nd Special Operations Battalion of the [-]st Special Operations Brigade."

The two shook hands with each other, which was considered a real acquaintance.

I learned that the unit in front of me was the fifth battalion, the unnumbered unit.

Qin Dong smiled in surprise and shook his head with a slightly helpless expression. No wonder, no wonder such a combat force appeared in the hinterland of the Blue Army, but there was no notification from the headquarters above.

The combat troops stationed by the Blue Army have correct tactical arrangements. Special forces from the Red Army did come to attack tonight.

Their Second Special Operations Battalion was the unit ordered to attack the Blue Army.

It's a pity that I couldn't find the opportunity. I finally waited for the right opportunity and prepared to launch an attack. The sudden sound of artillery in the middle of the night completely made the already alert Blue Army even more alert.

The offensive plan of the special operations battalion was blocked, so it could only be put on hold temporarily and wait for the opportunity.

At first, Qin Dong thought it was just a small group of troops carrying out the attack, but then the bombs exploded every half an hour, and the bombs became rhythmic.

However, they who were observing in secret realized that the layout of the Blue Army's station was much more than they imagined.

The fifth battalion did not know the firepower of the blue army ahead, but Qin Dong could see it clearly from the dark.

He came here to remind and at the same time cooperate with the fifth battalion to cut off the retreat of the Blue Army's frontline troops.
As for why they knew where Chen Ming and the others were stationed, that was easier.

As the commander of a special operations battalion, he has an electronics team accompanying him to perform missions. If he can't find such a large combat unit, he might as well just change his job and go home to farm.

After receiving detailed information about the firepower dispatched by the blue army ahead, Chen Ming's eyes lit up with joy and he finally pulled out the opponent's turtle head.

The fire continued for half the night, but the opponent never took action and defended desperately, so that he did not dare to risk being exposed.

If there was no movement, he would have no choice but to retreat.

Now, there are no worries.

"Battal Commander Qin, are you saying that the blue army not only dispatched two tank companies in the front, but also a light firepower battalion in the rear?"

"There is so much firepower at the Combined Eighth Division station that has not been dispatched?"

Chen Ming frowned. The mountain assault brigade in the Southern Xinjiang Military Region has a different combat positioning. Their entire brigade is specialized in special operations and focuses on fast maneuverability. Their role on the battlefield is to mark the enemy.

Provide intelligence for rear firepower.

Therefore, when bullying such a single combat unit, the fifth battalion has the advantage.

But it is not easy to face the light battalion of the combined division plus two tank companies.

Their air defense strength is not bad, and their reconnaissance capabilities are not weak. They have JY series ground detection radars for detection. Once the Fifth Battalion fights against the opponent, it will be a war that exposes their strength.

The number of all combat vehicles can be seen at a glance, which is equivalent to fighting under the eyes of others.

The shortcomings of the light battalion will also be made up for by the two tank companies. Chen Ming is not afraid of them. If there is only one light battalion, he will treat them like a play.

But if too much firepower is exposed, it will be troublesome if the Blue Army's Eighth Division still has back-up troops and can lock it remotely.

After all, the fifth battalion only has company-level air defense, and does not have the backing of brigade-level air defense equipment.

But so what?
Chen Ming was worried for a moment at most, but he was not timid at all.

Just now, he was worried that there was only one fifth battalion and no reinforcements. This time, there was still a second battalion holding down the formation. All he had to do was contain the heavy firepower of the Blue Army.

After figuring out the purpose of the other party's visit, Chen Ming immediately waved his hand and said: "Battle Commander Qin, I know what you mean."

"The fifth battalion will be the main attack to contain more of the Blue Army's main forces. Your special operations battalion will make a sneak attack and destroy the Blue Army's frontline reserve forces."

"no problem."

"But I have one condition."

"You said it." Qin Dong grinned. He was in the midst of a war and there was no one else who could offer conditions except Chen Ming.

"There are no special conditions. If your second battalion successfully breaks into the Blue Army's material reserve, don't rush to blow it up. Leave the fuel and ammunition to me."

"Don't finish the fight by then. You just slap your butts and retreat, leaving us units with empty ammunition behind. We can neither advance nor retreat."

Chen Ming pointed to the seven companies of the fifth battalion. There were many tanks, but they were all fuel hungry.

You cannot do business at a loss. This must be made clear in advance.

"No problem." Qin Dong smiled happily, looked down at the time and said: "There is less than an hour and a half until dawn. You try to hold off as many of the Blue Army's main forces as possible."

"We will launch a raid in half an hour. If it goes well, I will assist the fifth battalion in the rear to kill the remaining units of the Blue Army."

Qin Dong hurriedly evacuated after delivering the intelligence.

Chen Ming turned around and looked at the company commanders of the fifth battalion gathered around him, calling for mobilization in a high-pitched voice.

"Comrades, the Blue Army finally couldn't bear it any longer. Our test tonight was not in vain."

"Did you all hear what Battalion Commander Qin said just now?"

"Right in front of us, apart from the dozens of assault vehicles of the Mountain Assault Brigade, there are two tank companies and a light battalion waiting for us to jump into the hole."

"The time has come to defend the glory of our fifth battalion. The enemy has already drawn his sword, so we have no reason to retreat."

"Now I order each company to get into position, and the entire battalion will be dispatched in one minute to take the initiative to face the Blue Army."

"I want to see how tough the Tianshan [-]th Division is."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Facing Chen Ming's impassioned statement, all the members of the fifth battalion were filled with excitement, shouts of killing lingered in the sky, and their morale broke through the sky and lingered for a long time.

buzzing.
Fifteen helicopters from the helicopter squadron were in place.

Boom.
Several artillery vehicles, tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles from the fire company returned to the formation.

Don't ask how they could escape the pursuit of the Blue Army. Three minutes after Chen Ming issued the order to withdraw completely, the Blue Army cut off the fire company's reconnaissance equipment.

Those drones didn't come back because they couldn't control them and could only stay where they were.

The reason why the artillery carriages can come back is because they have wheels and can run on their own.This is the first battle in the true sense of the Fifth Battalion, and each company is ready for the decisive battle.

"Every unit, except the artillery company, the whole battalion is moving forward at a rapid pace, aim at the Blue Army station, load the artillery shells, use full firepower, and set off."

Boom.
The artillery positions could not accompany them, but the infantry detachment belonging to the artillery company moved with the main force.

In addition to the armored infantry company, tank company, and three infantry detachments, thirty 08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles took the lead, maneuvering forward at extremely fast speeds.

The manually launched drones from the rear and the vehicle-mounted detection and attack drones soared into the air, densely packed over the tanks, and flew forward.

There was no concealment of the movement at all.

Hundreds of tanks maneuvered and only advanced two kilometers. When they were still three kilometers away from the Blue Army's station, the Blue Army in front had already noticed it.

"coming."

"Damn it, I knew the Red Army gangsters had a conspiracy. This movement is not as simple as a few artillerymen."

Within the defenses of the Second Battalion of the Mountain Assault Brigade, the few remaining sentries felt the vibrations on the ground, and their faces turned pale.

Fortunately, the opponent did not use this level of firepower at first, otherwise the entire second battalion front line would have been destroyed long ago.

"beat."

Chen Ming saw the coordinates of the Blue Army appearing in the drone again and immediately issued an order.

Fifteen helicopters at high altitude, thirty wheeled infantry fighting vehicles on the ground, ten 99A main battle tanks on the flanks, rear truck guns, mortars, self-propelled howitzers, and anti-aircraft guns fired simultaneously.

In the night sky, it looked like lumps of live coals being thrown into boiling water.

On the Blue Army's position, puffs of white smoke suddenly rose.

Hearing the sound of cannons, the Blue Army gathered their troops and immediately divided into two wings and began to outflank them.

Hearing the sound of artillery again, the Blue Army Combat Group was extremely excited. It was too aggrieved by the beating just now.

They are all veterans who have been in the army for several years, more than ten years, or even decades. How have they ever suffered such a big loss?

The two sides exchanged fire and were extremely jealous.

In an instant, over fifty light assault vehicles from the Blue Army rushed out and twenty tanks opened fire.

The Fifth Battalion came with a fierce force, and the Light Battalion of the Eighth Division, which was originally hiding in the rear, was also forced out.

Fifteen Warrior long-axis assault vehicles, three Warrior 120mm mortars, eight Warrior 6×6122 [-]mm howitzers, eight Warrior anti-tank launch vehicles and other combat vehicles clustered out of the pupa.

The fifth battalion was instantly sandwiched between the combat forces on both wings.

"You are the ones waiting." Chen Ming's eyes turned cold. He saw dozens more tanks appearing on the radar detection and immediately issued an order.

"Helicopter squadron, electromagnetic interference bombs are targeting the Blue Army's follow-up troops, attack."

Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Boom boom boom! ! !
Zizzi. The visualization system was interfered by the blue army, and the big screen made an interruption sound, but Chen Ming didn't care at all.

In a battle of this scale, the distance is almost three kilometers. He is cutting into the Blue Army's positioning system and firepower system.

Naturally, the Blues will not remain indifferent.

The two sides were at war and had nothing to say.

The fifth battalion's rear artillery position ignored Sanqi 21 and bombarded desperately according to the original coordinates. It didn't matter if they couldn't receive instructions from the front line. The blue army's coordinates would never be wrong.

The soldiers in each platoon of the artillery company were very happy. They took turns to use firepower. It was like a shooting training at night. The explosions were very enjoyable.

With electromagnetic interference, although the Blue Army has a large number, it cannot take advantage at all. The helicopter squadron has more fun, but the ground tanks have no such restriction because of line of sight interference.

The helicopter squadrons of the Air Assault Brigade are all focused on air combat, unlike the squadrons sent by the Light Combined Battalion Army Aviation Brigade, which are focused on transportation.

The Blue Army's assault vehicles, which were lightly armored, encountered helicopters and were almost massacred one-sidedly.

Anti-explosive bombs, armor-piercing bombs, and interference bombs are fired in turn.

As soon as the intensity of the battle came into contact, the soldiers of the Blue Army suffered a heavy blow. At first, no one expected that a full-fledged combat unit of the Red Army would reach the rear.

It was originally thought that the firepower of more than 50 assault vehicles, two tank companies, and a light battalion would be able to give the Red Army a head-on shot.

But who would have thought that what came over was a reinforced medium-sized synthetic battalion, also equipped with a helicopter squadron.

A roofless combat unit like the Lynx assault vehicle was mowed down by heavy machine guns in mid-air as soon as it entered the battlefield.

puff puff puff
Streams of white smoke curled up, and it was so frustrating to die.

The situation at the front was like this, and everyone in the Blue Army headquarters was so angry that their blood was rising.

The commander of the mountain assault brigade was even more pale. According to this style of play, it won't be long before all the assault vehicles in their brigade will be eliminated.

The Eighth Division's light battalion will also be left here, which is a consequence they cannot afford at the moment.

"Withdraw, the Red Army's firepower is too strong, arrange for the troops to withdraw to the fortifications, quickly."

"Call the Eighth Division station and activate the air defense battalion and artillery battalion. No matter what, you must destroy the Red Army's air combat power and the artillery positions in the rear."

When a group of battalion commanders of the Blue Army heard the order, their lungs almost exploded with anger.

It was so damn frustrating. I originally thought that by arranging two tank companies and one light battalion, I would be sure of victory.

Who would have thought that they would be beaten like this in less than 10 minutes of contact?

But it's too late to withdraw at this time.

The fifth battalion was not a combat unit. Qin Dong, the commander of the second special operations battalion who was hiding in the dark, twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard the fierce fighting in the distance.

He picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and gave the order.

"Command, attack!"

brush brush brush
In the shadows, under the turf, and in the hollows, more than 400 soldiers of the Second Special Operations Battalion stood up and rushed into the Eighth Division's station like civet cats in the dark night.

In places with open terrain, this kind of combat unit will only get beaten when encountering a combined division.

But inside the station, they encountered hundreds of special operations battalions armed to the teeth. Their destructive capabilities were no less than a helicopter squadron's all-out bombing.

In an instant, the Eighth Division's station was filled with people from the special operations battalion.

The second battlefield in the hinterland of the Blue Army has begun.
