"Ask them how long it will be before they arrive!" Sitting in the car, even though they were wrapped in thick military coats and there was no heating on the minibus, the Iranians were a little unbearable.

Especially along the way, in addition to the military station, you can rest, drink hot water and eat some hot food, most of the time it is dry food, which is really unbearable for them.

It was as if the whole body was about to fall apart.

After three days in a row, the road became more and more desolate, and the road became more and more potholed, and they suspected that the Chinese side had deliberately made them suffer.

"General, it's an hour away at most. It's only thirty kilometers......" The serviceman, who was sitting next to the driver's seat, heard the inquiry, asked the front with the walkie-talkie, and asked at the back.

The road has been stretching along the ravine in front of it, and the tops of the mountains on both sides are covered with snow, and the slopes on both sides of the road are sparsely covered with vegetation, without the slightest trace of green at a glance.

This is more inhospitable than most places in Iran.

If it weren't for the fact that there were barely artificially visible traces on the road, the Iranians would even think that there would be no traces of human activity in the area.

On the top of a hill far from the road, several soldiers wearing white cloaks and blending in with the surrounding snow were holding binoculars in the direction of the road.

"Here, report to the command!" said the soldier holding the binoculars to the signal soldier with the radio communication equipment of the individual soldier on his back.

The communications officer nodded, took down the radio, and began to call command.

On the open river beach in front of the highway more than ten kilometers from this side, several heavy howitzers of 122 mm caliber were unanimously lined up, but the headquarters was not set up here.

This is an artillery position that has already been purchased.

At the gate of the southwest entrance of the base, several small military tents appeared, and Zheng Yucheng, He Chao and others were waiting for news inside.

"Report, report from the observation post, convoy appears. The correspondent quickly reported the news to He Chao and others.

"Keep watching, keep watching. He Chao ordered.

The correspondent turned around and continued to guard the radio station, while He Chao turned around and asked Zheng Yucheng, "Director Zheng, will this scare them......?"

"Let's conduct an exercise to explore the use of joint operations and special forces in warfare......," Zheng Yucheng said calmly, "artillery can be regarded as a salute to welcome them." ”

Zheng Yucheng said as he looked at Xie Kai next to him.

In this way, Xie Kai is not sure at all.

But only in this way will the Iranians be able to hit their own plans by seeing their new methods of joint operations, seeing the performance of avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, and even seeing the shortcomings of towed howitzers.

The convoy continued to move forward, and the ammunition on the artillery position, the ammunition on the ammunition truck, was neatly arranged next to each heavy gun.

These cannons are the same type of guns that were originally fired at the New Year base.

The artillery of the garrison regiment has now been transformed into armored units, these things, they are all old guys, but they are exerting their spare heat for the future of the base.

"There's still a kilometre to get them ready. "The convoy was constantly approaching the artillery positions, and the position of the convoy was constantly reported by the scouts who had been arranged long ago.

He Chao's heart became more and more nervous.

"Be sure to fire again in front of the Iranians and adjust the target. Xie Kai emphasized. "The target plane is ready to take off. ”

"Now, if they don't buy missiles, we'll suffer a big loss. Wang Guilin said, "The Air Force has agreed to replace five retired Jian-6s for our transformation." ”

"Isn't it not there yet?" Xie Kai said.

Previously, after obtaining orders from the Iraqis, there was also a debate about what to do with the remaining two target aircraft.

After communicating for a long time, the Air Force agreed to exchange the retired J-6.

However, the efficiency of the Air Force is not as high as that of the base, and in addition, the target aircraft still needs some improvement during the Chinese New Year, so it has not been transported away until now.

Xie Kai didn't want to shoot in front of the Iranians, but now he had to do so, otherwise he couldn't fool the Iranians.

"When the artillery is fired over there, we are ready to let the target aircraft take off, and when the time comes, I will personally show them the avant-garde air defense performance. Xie Kai said.

This is the approach that the entire Management Committee has to take when there is no way to do so.

The convoy was still moving forward, and there were many detours because it was a road built along the entire ditch in the ravine.

"Report, the convoy will turn around immediately!"

"Order the artillery positions to open fire!" He Chao gave the order.

"Ready, release!" On the artillery position that had already been prepared, the commander began to wave the red flag in his hand as soon as he received the order.

At the bend in the road, the first jeep had just turned.

The gunner, standing behind the 122-mm howitzer, at the moment of hearing the order, jerked the rope tied to the lead iron of the firing device.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The rumble of a barrage of cannons began to sound.

"Ga~~"

The convoy was moving, and in the middle of nowhere, a sudden cannon fire was heard, and the experienced drivers jerked off the brakes.

It's all slow, otherwise you have to get into a car accident.

"Get out of the car!" Hearing the sound of artillery outside, the Iranian, who had been recuperating after the car stopped, rushed towards the car door.

The Iranians in this car, most of whom had been on the front line, knew exactly what the sound of artillery was like.

Even Li Mingshan was so frightened by the sudden sound of artillery that he jumped out of the car, "What's the matter? Everyone get out of the car and get out of the car!"

He was napping just now.

The bumps along the way made everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

Suddenly I heard the sound of cannonballs, especially in this deserted place.

The reaction of Li Mingshan and the others was far less rapid than that of the Iranians, and as soon as they heard the sound of the artillery, the Iranians got out of the car and threw themselves on the hillside next to them.

"Protect them, don't let them fall! Go ahead and see what's going on!"

Without waiting for Li Mingshan's order, the soldiers in the front car rushed to the front.

The sound of artillery continues.

Li Mingshan and the others stopped before they could fully react.

On the artillery position, the 122-mm howitzers that had just been fired, after firing several shells each, were ordered by the commander to stop, and began to adjust the firing of Zhu Yuan, and within two minutes, the artillery was opened again.

"Comrade, there is a military exercise going on ahead, please stop advancing!" As soon as the soldiers who went to check on the road turned a corner, they found a barricade on the road, and several soldiers wearing military overcoats and carrying automatic rifles on their backs were guarding the side of the barricade.

"What kind of military exercises are you doing, do you know who is in the convoy behind?" After figuring out the situation, the middle-aged military cadres who came to check on it immediately became furious.

He had to admit that he was frightened by the sound of the cannons.

The squad leader guarding the barricade looked at the soldiers in front of him wearing the uniforms of four cadres, and calmly replied, "I'm sorry, chief, we just acted on orders!"

"Acting on orders? You are conducting military exercises and setting up roadblocks less than 200 meters from the artillery positions?" No wonder the middle-aged cadres are angry, these guys are too lazy.

"What's going on?" Li Mingshan and his party walked towards the front when they heard the sound of cannons, and no shells fell around for a while.

Find yourself under the rant of your men.

The middle-aged cadre hurriedly explained the matter.

"What's the matter with you? Conducting military exercises, don't you know where the roadblocks are set up? Who is responsible for the accident?" Li Mingshan looked stern.

"Chief, this road will only be taken by the supply convoy once a week, and it has been like ......this before," the squad leader who led the team said aggrievedly.

Li Mingshan had no choice.

"Artillery exercises?" The Iranians, who had come to their senses, also came.

They can't figure out the way the Chinese think.

Knowing that they are coming, it is clear that such military exercises should not be carried out while they are moving forward.

Li Mingshan can only explain to the Iranians one more time.

At the same time, they told the Iranians that there was no man's land around here, and the nearest place for people was also dozens of kilometers away, which was already a military restricted area.

"They're just training routinely. In the end, Li Mingshan added.

"Routine training?" the Iranians apparently didn't believe it, but they met them on their way.

But when they saw the old 122mm howitzers not far away, they really believed it.

Such artillery, even they are rarely used, too old.

"Report to the chief, this is an exploratory exercise for multi-unit joint operations, not a routine exercise......," the squad leader said loudly.

"What are the troops?" the Iranian next to him hurriedly asked when he heard the interpreter's words.

Li Mingshan glared at the squad leader in front of him, "It doesn't matter what drill you have, let your responsible cadres come over!"

"Report to the chief, our company commander is directing the artillery bombardment, and we are about to transfer positions!" replied to Li Mingshan.

The meaning is obvious, our company commander is very busy and has no time to pay attention to you.

Li Mingshan was about to get angry, but he was asked by Ihor what kind of joint operation of multiple troops, and he could only deal with the Iranians first.

At the artillery position not far away, the firing stopped at this moment.

All the artillerymen began to busily prepare for the transition.

The shells were quickly loaded into the liberation vehicle, and the military vehicle began to drive backwards towards the artillery with the bracket folded, ready to hang the howitzer in the rear of the vehicle and transport it away.

In the northwest sky, two small black dots appeared, and they were rushing towards this direction at high speed.

"Woo~~" Suddenly, the poignant air defense siren sounded.

The artillery positions suddenly became flustered.

"What's the hurry? Keep working and quickly complete the transition preparations. Guard platoon, anti-aircraft missiles ready!" A soldier in his thirties, seeing the artillerymen panicked, stood up and blew the whistle in his hand.

"Where are their air defense units?" asked Li Mingshan, who was observing with a telescope, suspiciously, and kept looking around the position.

As a result, a number of figures were found on the slopes of the hills on either side.

These people worked in groups of three, one in the middle carrying a shoulder-fired missile, and began to point at the increasingly large fighter planes in the distant sky......
