101 Mechanized Infantry Brigade northeast of the Zhurihe exercise ground in Inner Mongolia

The gloomy night seemed to be people's mood, more like the heaviness of the faces covered with black camouflage paint. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation is already obvious, even veterans for many years have never seen or even heard of the current tragic situation of 101 - nearly 10,000 troops have been killed and wounded, and the road from Zhurihe railway station yard is full of tanks, armored vehicles and personnel carriers that have been marked and destroyed. Battlefield pickets unceremoniously separated people from the ranks, sometimes directly pointing out the casualties of the entire detachment and putting death badges on them.

Tanks and armored vehicles were sealed, young fighters wept, were taken to personnel carriers and taken to the reception center, and everyone from the leaders to the cadres was moved.

The remaining cadres and fighters were already assembled in front of the heights, waiting for orders. In people's eyes, there is confusion, grievance and anger.

According to battlefield discipline, from the moment the brigade leader was declared dead, the commander of the artillery regiment continued to serve as the head of No. 01, but in the subsequent round of air raids, the new leader who commanded the evacuation of the troops was also mercilessly labeled as a sign of death, and the commander of the anti-chemical battalion took over as the brigade leader and continued to lead the troops forward.

The term of office of the battalion commander was only more than three hours, and he was declared seriously injured in another round of missile air raids and lost his command ability, so the instructor of the 3rd Battalion, who was also a lieutenant colonel, took over the command of the 101st Infantry Brigade.

However, a first-class mechanized infantry brigade, the Shenyang Military Region's dignified Northeast Tiger Special Rapid Reaction Unit, can only let him command a few dozen people in front of him.

"Summarize today's casualties!"

Unlike other cadres and soldiers, the solemn voice of the instructor of the 3rd Battalion was low and dignified, and his face was the same as that of the commanders and fighters, full of smoke and dust, but he still maintained the domineering and self-confidence of a man.

"The last air raid from zero to 22 o'clock. Our 101st Mechanized Infantry Brigade withstood a total of 81 air and missile strikes. 278 tanks and infantry combat vehicles were lost, 120 transport vehicles of various types, the results of the inventory of troops, the special operations platoon remained intact, the army aviation company evaded air raids and the tracking of blue fighters, and only 7 helicopters remained. One tank remained in the tank regiment, and the artillery regiment had one self-propelled mortar and two Warrior off-road vehicles. Including the special operations platoon, there are a total of 41 personnel. Light weapons are well preserved and have combat effectiveness!"

"Cry!" whispered in the night: "The instructor has a meeting!"

The solemn mood was heavy: "Comrades, we didn't expect that the intensity and intensity of this military exercise would be so great, and the first air raid just after getting off the car was a nuclear bomb strike.

He stood up and walked to the mound, only at this distance could he tell that the mound was actually a Type 96 tank covered in mud.

He gently wiped the front armor plate of the tank, and faintly showed two lines of large letters:

Siberian Tiger, Northeast Soldier.

Able to fight, win battles.

He turned to the crowd:

"I just received a notification from the referee that the Blues have decided to start the second phase of the exercise plan, which means that the fuck has already decided that we are finished, not worth mentioning, and think that we are finished with the Siberian Tigers!"

People's faces are full of atmosphere,

"On a battlefield of this intensity, you can laugh best until the end. 101 And we have more than forty brethren. Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing, and we have fraternal units -- this round should be two mechanized infantry brigades or mixed brigades from the other two military regions, and the infantry brigades will enter the battlefield. However, for us, the Blues decided that we lost and asked the referee to ask us if we were out of the fight!"

The faces of the people were full of grief and indignation.

"Fuck, we can't just do it!"

"That's right, the referee department is too arbitrary, aren't I still alive!"

"What is the Blue Army, it is the Second Artillery and the Aviation, and I haven't seen anyone until now!"

"Yes, there is a kind of face-to-face fight, hiding in the bunker and relying on the second artillery and the air force to fight, what kind of hero!"

Everyone was indignant and nodded solemnly:

"Yes, 101 is definitely not a good stubble, not easy to mess with, 101 is a Siberian tiger, a tiger coming down the mountain, we are not only alive, but also to complete the task!"

The communication soldier interjected: "Instructor, I just received a notice from the referee department that the blue army announced that the time for the second phase of the exercise is 24 o'clock tonight, and the 3741 mechanized infantry brigade of the Beijing Military Region and the 2025 mechanized infantry brigade of the Jinan Military Region will enter the battlefield as the second stage of the Red Army. The Blues announced that the command post would be transferred to the vicinity of Zhucun!"

Everyone was shocked, and everyone realized what the announcement of the Blues meant.

The special operations platoon commander came over: "Beijing's 3741 has fought with me, long live the army is not easy to mess with!"

nodded solemnly: "The 37th Army is undoubtedly the trump card of the Chinese army, General Peng's Long Live Army, in the last Luoshan exercise, we and 3741 were red-eyed, and they worked hard, but they won a miserable victory, and there was only one cook left!"

The platoon commander nodded: "I am the last one of 101, I rushed into the command post and there was nothing, I was about to report the victory, and I was about to report the victory, and the phone calls to the director's department were dialed, who knew that the cooks had diarrhea and came back to give me a shuttle, only then did I know that 3741 was left with the little soldiers of this cooking class, and I was so angry that I ......"

"Yes, on the battlefield, the one who survives is the winner!" said solemnly: "101 There are 41 heroes, the brigade commander is killed in battle, the regiment commander is killed, the battalion commander is killed, and I am the instructor." We must not only survive, but also win!"

Everyone's eyes sparkled with hope.

He said solemnly: "101 has always been good, the Siberian Tiger is a tiger descending from the mountain, as long as there is one person in 101, then you have to rush me!" -- I order, the troops continue to advance towards Zhucun, the special operations platoon, prepare to land and assault the command post of the Blue Army!"

Inner Mongolia Zhurihe Railway Station

Under the gloomy night, two flashing railroad tracks separated the commanders of the red and blue armies who were facing each other. On one side, there was Liang Chu, the commander of the Blue Army, and opposite him was Chen Lei, the commander of the 3741 Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Red Army, who was also dressed in camouflage combat uniforms and carrying submachine guns. According to the regulations of the exercise, the troops deployed in the second phase, including the Beijing Military Region and the Jinan Military Region, which were deployed at zero point, and the troops of the Chengdu Military Region and the Lanzhou Military Region, which were deployed the next day, were all under the command of the Beijing Military Region to fight against the arrogant and domineering Blue Army.

Liang Chu smiled: "There is still one hour, bring the chemical protection suit!"

Chen Lei smiled: "Anyway, your kid is also from the Beijing Military Region, how did the imperial capital produce such a wolf lamb like you?101 is also the benchmark of the whole army, you just bombed 80 times and wiped out the Siberian tigers!"

Liang Chu smiled: "I'm just a copycat, and I'm afraid of even copycats?" Speaking of which, the genuine US military still has F-22, and there is also a stealth fighter aircraft carrier battle group, and it is said that a US infantry division entered Baghdad back then, and you think Saddam's Republican Guard is easy to provoke? But you can't see the US troops, so you can't fight, so you can only stay there and wait for the US troops to bomb them, just like today's 101 Siberian tigers, they can't do it in a hurry. ”

He smirked: "As a Chinese soldier, you won't surrender, will you?"

"I can't wait to kill you right now!" Chen Lei single-handed flat-ended Type 95 automatic rifle, the muzzle of which was pointed at Liang Chu.

Liang Chu glanced at his watch: "It's a pity that you are not Einstein, you can't turn back time, let alone advance." In 55 minutes, you can give me such a shuttle, you are the winner of this military exercise, and now you are violating the law by firing, and you will be kicked out of the training ground!"

Chen Lei's muzzle drooped: "Okay, your investigation should be over, I want to return to the team!"

Liang Chu said: "I admit it, I didn't find your troops, but calling you to meet is not a personal investigation, it's just for a little personal matter!"

He smiled: "Full-band electromagnetic suppression, if your wife can find you, she won't ask me to change the word!"

"My wife?" Chen Lei was surprised.

"Well, your wife gave birth, and he is a fat son, six pounds and three taels!" Liang Chu smiled: "There are more men and fewer women in China, and he will be a bachelor again in the future!"

Inner Mongolia Zhurihe Railway Station Freight Yard

A group of Blue Army guards had already been labeled dead, and behind the gloomy shadow of the train, a brigade of Red Army 3741 infantry was getting on board. The referee was dumbfounded: "Raid on the station?"

"It's all from a military region, so be merciful!" a Blue Army soldier with the label "seriously injured" shouted: "I promise not to say it!"

"No, the order of the superiors, leave no one alive!"

The special combat team waved their daggers, and the referee came over: "Kill the prisoner!"

The special combat team scolded: "It's up to me whether you kill or not, you do your thing, hang the label, change him for a dead one, shut up!"

On the platform, Liu Zhendong and Zhuang Chu were surrounded by a group of Red Army soldiers with loaded guns, and the staff officers were showing their documents from the referee department.

"God, the Long Live Army is really powerful, and it actually copied the back road!" Zhuang Chu said

"Using the railway assault, Chen Lei is bold!" Liu Zhendong was surprised and looked very satisfied: "At this moment, there is at least one motorized infantry company on the train!"

"Although Zhu Rihe has a direct railway to Zhucun, Liang Chu is the head snake of the land, and the troops sent by various military regions to participate in the exercise, who dares to take the railway if he eats the courage of the ambitious leopard?"

Zhuang Chu said: "I think it's very troublesome for this mechanized unit to get on and off the bus!"

Liu Zhendong smiled, "Perhaps, Chen Lei of the Long Live Army has taken a fancy to this, the example of the Siberian Tiger of the Shenyang Military Region in front of him is placed there, waiting, waiting for death, the second artillery and air force superiority of the Blue Army will win in less than a few hours, they will wait, and the Siberian Tiger will end up together, but if you gamble and take the railway raid successfully, it will be a complete victory, even if the assault fails, the shock to the Blue Army is enough to shake the overall situation and create opportunities for the brother troops, it is not an ordinary concept!"

Suddenly, the air raid sirens went off again. But at this moment, the military train covered with camouflage nets has started slowly, and the armored vehicles and the high-level dual-purpose guns of the infantry fighting vehicles on the flatbed cars are looking for targets in the sky, and some fighters have climbed onto the roof of the cars and picked up the portable individual anti-aircraft missiles in their hands.

Suddenly, flames streaked out in the air, and Zhuang Chu shouted: "It's not good, the Blue Army is using helicopter gunships to raid!"

The train was suddenly extremely miserable, the blue army helicopter gunships sprayed honeycomb rockets at the train and at the same time strafed the train with multiple barrels, flames came out of the carriages, and the armored vehicles carried on the flatbed cars were shot and caught fire, but the train did not show weakness, sending out flames of anti-aircraft missiles into the air. Armored convoys on both sides of the railway were also shooting wildly into the air.

Bursts of fire erupted in the air, and it was clear that a Blue Army helicopter had been shot, and in the thick smoke and flames, the train seemed to become a fire hedgehog, spraying tracer bullets into the air, and the speed of the car was getting faster and faster.

Liu Zhendong glanced at his watch: "At 0:15, if the train breaks through successfully, then it will only take two hours to reach Zhucun, the command post of the Blue Army!"

Headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces of the Ministry of Defense, Tokyo, Japan

When Prime Minister Nomura arrived at the underground platform of the Ministry of Defense Headquarters by subway, Hosokawa Daisa of the Self-Defense Forces Intelligence Department was already waiting on the platform, along with Defense Minister Yasuo Noyama. Compared with the new defense minister, Hosokawa Daisa is well-versed in the Chinese situation and has a good reputation in the Japanese intelligence community for his knowledge and grasp of military intelligence.

"Imperial Flower Report," Nomura and his entourage had just stepped out of the carriage, and Hosokawa Osa gave a succinct briefing: "The Chinese army is conducting an extraordinary military exercise in the Inner Mongolia region of North China, so the Intelligence Department of the Self-Defense Forces believes that the situation should be reported to the cabinet in detail!"

Hosokawa, a middle-aged man in his 40s with the demeanor of a scholar, was promoted from the Defense Agency to the Ministry of Defense, and the Cabinet established an intelligence department at the headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces Command to collect intelligence in Northeast Asia and share information with the U.S. military. But it's more about intelligence on the Chinese side.

Nomura said lightly: "It is not surprising that before and after the Yasukuni Shrine bombing, China encountered too many things. There are also strategic considerations to support Russia's annexation of Crimea, and the Sino-Japanese drone incident. Their military exercises are just to boost our morale and put pressure on us at the same time!"

Hosokawa frowned: "Prime Minister, if it was a simple general military exercise, I wouldn't have rushed back from Beijing to report it!"

Nomura raised his eyebrows: "What, is there any difference?"

Hosokawa said seriously: "This is the first military exercise after China's new leader took office, and its characteristics naturally deserve attention; as far as China is concerned, a country with deep feudal traditions and habits, the leader's intentions are mostly expressed in his administrative skills and concept of governing the army. This is the political aspect, but the military aspect also deserves attention. ”

He flipped through a chart: "This is information provided by our Chinese military informants, and according to credible information, the military exercise, which is called 'extreme crisis', was held in northern Chinese mainland and is believed to be still at the Zhurihe military base in the Inner Mongolia grassland." The troops participating in the exercise came from the seven major military regions of the country, and the General Staff Headquarters and the General Political Headquarters ordered that each military region should send its own trump card troops, and even the Guangzhou Military Region and the Nanjing Military Region, which had increased their combat readiness because of the smashing of Chinese enterprises in Vietnam, were no exception. The scale of each military region is a machine infantry brigade or an infantry brigade, and it will arrive at the exercise base within a limited time by means of long-distance maneuvers by rail and road, and by air. Moreover, the order stressed that there was no director's office for the exercise, but only a referee's office, and that the troops participating in the exercise in each military region were the Red Army, which were put into force in turn, with two or three military regions at a time, while the Blue Army was the 777 mixed brigade of the Blue Army directly under the General Staff, equipped with two aviation divisions and a tactical missile brigade. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides of the exercise!"

Nomura Yiren frowned: "Regarding the intelligence of the Chinese military, we are currently paying more attention to the problem of corruption within the military. It should be said that the determination of the Chinese leaders to fight corruption this time is unprecedented, and the results are also shocking, and under normal circumstances, they will damage the morale of the troops!"

"It cannot be ruled out that the military exercise may revive morale!" Hosokawa said. But the message sent by the flower of the empire is shocking, because the chief of staff has given the exercise an unprecedented intensity requirements, according to the information just obtained, the first batch of participating troops just arrived at the exercise base, and in the process of getting off, they were attacked by the blue army using simulated nuclear missiles, and then used the H-6 bomber to simulate the US B52 bomber to carry out carpet air strikes, including anti-armor submunitions and chemical munitions used in the air strike, and then carried out a fixed-point strike by the attack aircraft, completely simulating the tactics of the US military!

Nomura Yiren frowned and took Hosokawa's report: "What do you think of the Self-Defense Forces?"

"Because the exercises are underway, the SDF may not have more reliable sources of information than we have from Beijing," Hosokawa said. However, the Institute for Defense Studies believes that the Chinese Communist army is simulating a battle with the US military!"

He pointed to the report: "The Chinese leadership specifically asked for nuclear, biological and chemical conditions, the information superiority and air superiority of the US military, and the flood of armored steel of the former Soviet army. It is under these conditions that the PLA must also win!"

Nomura Yiren read the report and put it aside: "Impossible, whether in terms of equipment or training, the PLA cannot compare with the US military, and the scale cannot compete with the former Soviet army!"

He smiled: "This kind of exercise is just self-inflicted humiliation, the Red Army only has one or two infantry brigades, how can it compete with the Blue Army, which has two air forces and tactical missile units?"

Hosokawa said: "On the surface, it is true, the Self-Defense Forces believe that the Chinese leaders are testing the role of the human spiritual factor in high-tech conditions!"

"Compete with the U.S. military with electronic silicon chips, stealth fighters, and satellite positioning technology and equipment?" Nomura Yiren smiled: "Do you think it is possible?"

Hosokawa paused: "But my subordinates asked for a coordination meeting to gather information from the Self-Defense Forces and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because this military exercise is too unusual!"

"The coordination meeting can be held!" Nomura said, "However, we must give full consideration to the impact of the Chinese military's actions on Japan's national security!"

He said, "That's what I want!"
