"Okay, adjust the angle, let's go!"

As Lieutenant Colonel Shinano issued an order from the walkie-talkie, a burst of smoke suddenly rose from the empty dense forest on the opposite mountainside, and a moment later the open space below the two peaks was filled with smoke.

Lieutenant Colonel Shinano took the binoculars and looked at it, shook his head slightly, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "The mortar position will be moved back ten meters again, and your calibration is not in place, remember, we want crossfire, repeat, crossfire!"

After speaking, he coughed lightly, and the discerning adjutant on the side hurriedly handed over a thick Cuban cigar, and then took out a lighter to help light it, Lieutenant Colonel Shinano took a deep breath, only to feel refreshed, his waist no longer hurt, his legs were not sore, and even his cough was better, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and continued: "No. 3 and No. 8 machine gun shooting." ”

At the sound of an order, there was a sound of gunfire in the depths of the dense forests on the mountainside on both sides, and then the small clearing where the mortar shells fell just now was cut and flew by dense crossfire.

Seeing this, Shinano nodded with satisfaction, and was about to let several other infantry machine gun fire points try again, when the voice of the captain of his Ranger detachment came from the walkie-talkie: "Sir, the defense of the anti-slope is arranged." ”

Hearing this, Shinano and the other officers and soldiers of the Sixth Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army were not doing much, but the liaison officer of the director's department who was responsible for coordinating the progress of the exercise on the side chuckled in his heart.

Because he is proficient in Thai, and has been following Shinano and others in this jungle area that is very similar to the Thai-Cambodian border in the past few days, he, the liaison officer of the director's department, knows better than anyone how the Sixth Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army has made the two in front of him look like.

It's an exaggeration to say that it's steel and iron, but it's definitely a killing machine armed to the teeth.

Although the 6th Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army did not carry weapons and equipment, and used all the active equipment provided by the Chinese side, all weapons were judged according to US equipment.

Therefore, in terms of firepower configuration, the 6th Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army is completely constructed in accordance with the defensive posture of the main infantry battalion of the US military.

The characteristics can only be described in four words: the trench is inhumane!

In the two jungle-filled hills less than six kilometers in circumference, there were six mortar positions, each with at least two mortars, in addition to eight fixed machine-gun positions and six mobile general-purpose machine-gun positions.

Each position was made entirely of reinforced concrete, and according to Shinano's requirements, it was judged to be strong enough to withstand a direct attack from a single 122mm shell.

Not only that, but each position has been carefully adjusted to form a dense crossfire between any two firing points, blocking the only offensive route under the two mountains.

Think that's enough?

That would be naïve, there are also four tanks arranged in the foothills on both sides of the two mountains, a total of eight, and the domestic Type 69 plays the role of the American-made MK48 main battle tank of the Thai Army.

Unlike the domestic army, which usually engages the enemy in concealment and strikes with thunder, the position of these eight tanks is not fixed, but they roam the mountain roads on both sides with advanced mobility, and at the same time implement the so-called mobile defense, they cooperate with a large number of anti-infantry mines, anti-tank mines and advanced sensors arranged in the front line to prevent the entry of the artillery scouts of the attacking troops, so as to prevent the enemy's artillery from firing accurately at the two mountain fortifications.

At the same time, the anticline of the two mountains is also arranged with a large number of mines and trigger sensors, as well as all kinds of tripping mines and trick mines.

Not only that, the Sixth Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army has also deployed six American-made 105mm guns played by six Type 54 122mm howitzers and two American-made UH-1 helicopters played by Z-5 in the deep zone.

The former is used for fire support and fire cover, while the latter is used for the rapid transfer of reserves, so as to cooperate with mobile defense tanks to carry out infantry and tank coordinated counterattacks.

A combat battalion of less than 400 people, with tanks, artillery, helicopters, countless mines, trigger sensors, and more than three base munitions, plus the American-made communications equipment carried by the Sixth Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army itself, saw that the liaison officer of the director's department was about to drool out, and said in his heart that when the combat battalion in China could be so arrogant, Lao Tzu would not say a word, but he would also go over to be the battalion commander majestic.

However, after the greed, he couldn't suppress his worry, because he knew very well that the equipment of the Airborne Forces had no heavy equipment except for bazookas, and it was not that the director didn't want to equip the Airborne Forces with artillery units, but he was rejected by the commander named Zheng Quanli, on the grounds that it was too heavy and did not conform to the operational concept of high mobility of the Airborne Forces.

The liaison officer of the director's department almost didn't scold his mother directly after hearing these words, that is, the rules of the exercise did not allow it, otherwise he could run directly to the camp of the Airborne Forces and open Zheng Quanli's skull to see if it contained.

Think that the Airborne Forces will be invincible if they can use drones and engage in electronic warfare?

The Sixth Special Operations Battalion of the Royal Thai Army is not a counterfeit played by domestic equipment, but a real American-made original, all using frequency hopping technology, which not only has strong anti-jamming ability, but also has a strong anti-tracking ability.

The Airborne Forces used the Focus-2 UAV system for reconnaissance and command, and the amazing results achieved in the exercise have long been popularized among various units, and the liaison officer of the director's department is one of the first young officers in his unit to come into contact with and learn the Focus-2 UAS.

Therefore, he knew very well that the Focus-2 UAV system had no advantage at all in the face of the frequency hopping radio equipped with the Sixth Special Operations Battalion, but could be tracked back by the Sixth Special Operations Battalion to the location of the command cabin.

You must know that the artillery and reserves in depth of the Sixth Special Operations Battalion are not only used for counterattacks, but also for active attacks with fists.

Because of this, in the hearts of the liaison officer of the director's department, a battalion of airborne troops commanded by Zheng Quanli is not a question of whether it is hard or not, as long as it does not lose too badly, it will be considered a success.

Under such expectations, how good can the liaison officer of the director's department be?

Fortunately, his expression was well controlled and he didn't show it, otherwise he would have been laughed at by Shinano, you must know that the goal of the commander of the 6th Special Operations Battalion was not to defeat and defeat, but to completely swallow Zheng Quanli's troops.

Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Shinano's ambitions were so inflated, in fact, it was not just him, but everyone up to Lieutenant General Alondo down to ordinary soldiers, which contrasted sharply with the frustration of the liaison officers of the director's department, because regardless of the camp, they judged the situation exactly the same.

Because of this, when everything was prepared and the exercise officially began, Lieutenant Colonel Shinano's command headquarters soon discovered a slow-moving radio source, and without saying a word, he immediately ordered the reserve team in depth to take out the suspected mobile command post by helicopter.

Soon the rotors of the helicopter roared overhead, thinking of the ferocity of the attacker, Shinano stood in front of the radio proudly waiting for the news, and waited for the FM radio station to shine brightly and strobe, showing that a signal had entered, Shinano hurriedly picked it up, and was about to ask if he had caught the enemy commander, when he heard a shuddering Chinese coming from the earpiece: "Surrender the gun and don't kill!"
