Chapter 213: Real Confrontation 3
"Eat, eat......"
I don't know who shouted at the top of their voices, and the huge exercise command hall was instantly gone, except for the staff of the exercise director group who were still sticking to their posts. ○
They had to wait until the changing of the guard came before they could go to dinner.
After the officers of these observation groups took the plates one by one, and then they all went to line up, no one made a loud noise, let alone cut the line, and after taking the food, they found a place to sit down in groups and enjoy their lunch!
Very few people talk loudly during meals, and they will nod their heads and give each other a smile when they are quite a lot.
"Commander Dong, this is the rule you set up for the observation group?"
"Yes, it is forbidden to make noise and chat during meals, this is the quality that a qualified soldier should have, especially in public!" Dong Lei nodded.
All the officers were the same, eating quietly and returning the utensils after eating. Then leave.
Su Bingwen also noticed. All the top of the dishes are clean. There is no food leftover!
"There are still many ordinary people in our country who don't have enough to eat, and as soldiers, we are not qualified and dare not waste a grain of food!"
Su Bingwen was moved, such a strict military regulation is probably the only one seen in China.
Extravagance and waste are stubborn diseases in many places, but they are difficult to cure, and before the government dominates the world, many officials are already arrogant and lascivious, living an extremely extravagant life.
Dong Lei and Su Bingwen saw that several grassroots officers were discussing something while eating, so they walked over and asked.
"Commander Dong, we are speculating on the next move of the two red and blue exercise troops!" One of the officers explained.
"What are your speculations, tell me about it?"
"The terrain of Maojingba resembles a saddle, the two sides are high and the middle is low, forming a pass, as long as you hold both sides, it will be difficult to pass in the middle. The officer said.
"And there are hard granite on both sides, which is a natural barrier, if you attack strongly, if you don't have heavy weapons, you may not be able to take down three times the force!" Another added, "Red is in trouble this time!" ”
"It seems that it is not easy, this first stage is so difficult, isn't the second stage even more difficult?"
"The first stage is not to test the troops' ability to attack, but the commander's ability to respond to and command!" Dong Lei said, "If you want to attack, you don't need to have so many restrictions?" ”
"You must know that the second stage is based on the first stage, and if the power lost in the first stage is too large, the second stage will be very disadvantaged!"
"Exercising the unit's continuous combat capability is also a potential goal of this exercise!"
"If you two were the commander of the Red Army, what would you do?" Dong Lei asked.
"I will scout first to determine the opponent's number and weapons, as well as the firepower ratio, especially the combat quality of their personnel."
"In other words, if conditions allow, you will choose to attack?"
"Yes, although there may be some losses in a strong attack, if the opponent only has the advantage of the terrain, the rest is not advantageous, and a strong attack may not be the most suitable plan, especially in such a short period of time!" The officer said.
"What about you?" Dong Lei asked another officer.
"My plan chief of staff is almost the same, first reconnoitre, find the opponent's lair, and then send an elite team to attack the opponent's lair at night, and then join forces inside and outside, seize the pass, and occupy Maojingba!"
"Night fighting is an extreme test of the quality of the troops and the ability of the commander, a unit is good at night fighting, it must be an elite force!" Su Bingwen said.
It is true that being proficient in night combat is not something that ordinary troops can do, many aspects of night combat are more complicated than imagined, soldiers must first overcome the fear of darkness, and in the dark, people's flexibility and six senses have a huge impact, vision trouble, command command transmission and so on.
There are too many examples of failed night raids or even routs because of unfavorable command, first of all, in the case of unfamiliar terrain, night battles are a dead end!
"Night raids, inside and outside, this is a good method, but bandits are generally very vigilant, and they are more familiar with the terrain than the regular army, so even if this method is successful, it will need to pay a lot of price!" Dong Lei nodded.
"There is no way to fight a war without paying a price, you have made such a difficult task, it is good to be able to complete it!" Su Bingwen said with a smile.
"I certainly hope that they will be able to complete the task with minimal cost......"
"Commander Dong, I just received a telegram from the liaison group of the Blue Exercise Force that a detachment of the Blue Exercise Force was attacked by bandits, and one-third of the casualties were imposed!" A left-behind director commanded the staff at the scene to rush over and report in Dong Lei's ear.
"Oh, are there any fatalities?"
"There is no definite news yet, but it is estimated that at least fifty or so members of the Blue Side exercise force will withdraw from the exercise!"
"Send a medical team over immediately and do everything we can to treat the wounded!"
"The exercise director team has already planned and has already equipped the exercise troops with a medical team, but there are quite a few casualties at once, and the number of medicines may be insufficient!"
"Well, immediately transfer it from the warehouse, and the supply of medicine for the wounded must be guaranteed!" Dong Lei ordered.
"Yes!"
The Blue Exercise Force was ambushed by horse bandits and suffered dozens of casualties!
This news immediately caused a shock in the command center of the exercise.
It turned out that the casualty index of the exercise was not a gimmick, but a real one, and the exercise was really done with real knives and guns!
Although the number of casualties is not yet accurate, at this time, no one will doubt the authenticity of this exercise!
It's really playing, and it's still in the middle of the exercise, so what if it's on the real battlefield?
Xiaoshitai, the headquarters of the Blue Army exercise.
There was a feeling of anxiety and defeat in the air, the commander of the Blue Army, the commander of the Soviet battalion, the deputy battalion commander Liu Tingjie, and the commanders of the platoons of each company were here!
The injured don't count.
"Deputy Liu Ying, how is your injury?"
"Let the bullet go through the arm, it's okay!" Liu Tingjie had red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, his right little arm was bandaged with a triangular scarf and hung around his neck.
"Let's go to the medical team and pay attention to the wound, if it becomes inflamed, it will be troublesome!" Su Zhan said with concern.
"Thank you Yingza, it's already medicated!"
"We lost the adults this time, and we actually let the horse bandits ambush them, this fucking bag!" Wei Lian said.
"Old Wei, don't say a word, I didn't see that Deputy Liu Ying was injured!"
"Yes, who would have thought that this horse bandit would have the audacity to ambush us in the middle of the road?" Another company commander said.
"They are not ordinary horse bandits, they are horse bandits disguised by the regular army, we can't use the same tricks to deal with ordinary horse bandits!"
"Is this exercise directed by the team deliberate, this is a drill, it is clearly a battle!" An officer grumbled.
"It has been said in advance, this exercise is real, the bullets are all live ammunition, although it is not allowed to aim at the vital parts to shoot, but if it really starts, who can take care of it?"
"How many casualties do we have?" Su Zhan asked.
"Five killed, thirty-seven lightly wounded, eleven seriously wounded!"
"Fifty-three combat attrition!"
"Our strength has been reduced by one-tenth all of a sudden, but we haven't even noticed a single hair of our opponent, what is this called?"
"Camp. This is not the way to go. We're in Ming. The bandits are in the dark, and although they are outnumbered by us, our mission is to destroy this bandit or capture their leader alive! Luo Dazhi, the commander of the third company, said.
"But where are the bandits, how do we know?"
"Yingza, I don't think this horse bandit is afraid of us, judging from the fact that they deliberately waited for us on the road and ambushed us, the leader of this horse bandit is a person who does not like passive defense!" Liu Tingjie said.
"You mean. Will he take the initiative to attack? ”
"Yes, they are horse bandits, they have no fixed place, but they come and go like the wind, what do horse bandits rely on to survive, it is naturally a robbery, so they will still come out to commit crimes!" Liu Tingjie said.
"They know we're looking for them, but they dare to come out and commit crimes?"
"This is a drill, not a real real fight. If it's true, they certainly won't. But this is a drill, we can play freely, but they have to play their role according to the orders of the director! Liu Tingjie said.
"That's right, if the horse bandits are so powerful, then we have no chance to complete the mission!" As soon as Liu Tingjie explained this, everyone's decadent mood suddenly improved.
"Lao Liu, are you sure, if the director team doesn't give an order to the horse bandits, then won't we be blind?" Su Zhan said.
"Don't worry, since the director team has done such a task, they won't give us a chance to complete the task, if this is a real battle, today's battle damage will not be so much!" Liu Tingjie said.
"Then the horse bandits really came out to rob again, what should we do?"
"Which nearby village is the richest?"
"Poplar Ditch!"
"How's the terrain?"
"Map!"
"Look at the map of Yangshugou, there is a road into the village on the east and south, a mountain on the west, and a forest on the north, if the horse bandits enter the village, there are only these two roads......"
"What if the horse bandits don't go to Poplar Gully?"
"Let's seal the road to the south and set up a card for him, they are all riding horses, and they will inevitably take the road, so as long as we seal the road for him, they will inevitably go north, and they will inevitably pass through Yangshugou to the north!" Liu Tingjie said.
"Yes, that's a solution, but what if they don't go north, or just hide in the mountains and forests in this area?"
"Although the weather is warmer, it is still very cold at night, as long as they make a fire at night to keep warm, we can find them by the light of the fire!"
"Yes, they are all on horseback, and by following the horses' hoof prints, you can find their place!"
"Set up a card first, block the road to the south, and then follow the horseshoe prints, but this time you have to be extra careful, you can't be ambushed again!" Su Zhan ordered.
"Yes!"
