Chapter VIII Military Exercises in the Whole Region

The annual military exercises of the whole military region are arranged in a mountainous and forested area crisscrossed by a network of swamps, lakes, and water. In terms of terrain, it is more complex than last year's, and in some areas it is dense jungle with little to no danger. Qin Xiao's A regiment is the red side, and the opponent is still the special operations team that made Ma Jinshan return last year. Regiment A's strategic objective was to annihilate the isolated enemy forces of the Blue Side, which had penetrated deep into our side by a few hundred men throughout the intricate jungle swamps. Compared with last year's military exercise, this time it is obvious that the time and place are more unfavorable to Regiment A, and the heavy troops of the whole regiment cannot quickly intersperse and detour, and it is easy to fall into a passive stalemate.

However, because of the experience of the previous experience, the regiment commander Ma Jinshan decided to leave the headquarters in the rear and only use it as a shadow to attract the opponent, and he only brought a radio station with him and personally commanded the third company at the front line -- just in Luochuan. In addition, Ma Jinshan issued a strict order that all company and platoon units must keep radio stations, and only when contact is interrupted for more than half an hour, and until it is absolutely necessary, can each company and platoon use long-wave radio stations to make contacts, and if anyone turns on it in advance, they will be severely punished.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the exercise officially began, which lasted for 48 hours. The moon hung obliquely, the nightingale wailed, Ma Jinshan knew that the time had come to decide the life and death honor of him and his troops, he made a generous statement at the summary meeting, and tried his best to ask for battle, and it was a shame before the snow, for the whole division, it was natural for Regiment A to lose again, because this exercise was even more unfavorable than the last situation. But for Group A, this is a good opportunity to be ashamed, but at the same time it is a great risk.

In fact, war is the biggest venture capital in human history, and what it presses up is no longer money, status and power, but the life and national fortune of the entire combat unit, as well as the right of the people behind it to pursue a happy life. This point of view, Ma Jinshan experienced more deeply than ever at this time, so he must win!

Qin Xiao immediately built a Majin Mountain and stopped air reconnaissance, transportation, and fire support. Ma Jinshan had already put on his equipment, if he didn't know him, he really thought that he was just a communication soldier of the third company, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said:

"Reason."

Luo Chuan said thoughtfully:

"Actually, although we will not be able to gain air superiority in this way, superiority is sometimes a bad thing, and if the other side uses information warfare to attack the command center of our army, it is very likely that our air superiority will turn around and cause great damage to ourselves, or even fatal. Last time, our armored troops were defeated because of the enemy's electronic countermeasures, and the planes commanding our army inflicted fatal damage on the attacking tank armored units, and finally the attack was frustrated, Qin Xiao made sense. ā€

"Captain, if you are a sanda fighter and you want to compete with a boxing player, if you say in advance that you can't use your upper limbs, what will be the result?" Qin Xiao explained with a smile.

"You kid really have an idea." Ma Jinshan was greatly relieved when he heard this, and immediately notified the command headquarters to give an order:

The whole regiment stopped air reconnaissance, transportation and fire support, and the air search radars of all units found any targets.

Shoot them all down.

Ma Jinshan suddenly asked Qin Xiao:

"Qin Xiao, why did you kid conclude that we would suffer losses in electronic warfare? And as far as I know, you are not a major in electronic information engineering, how can you know so many details of electronic countermeasures? ā€

Qin Xiao said:

"Regiment commander, in fact, everything in the world is the same, everything to keep the truth from the false, it is just a little bit of truth, the same is true of electronic countermeasures, it is just an invisible state of war, but it is crucial, as a conventional combat force, tactical tactics must be thoroughly studied by special operations, otherwise they are not worthy of the word 'special'. Why do the special operations brigade dare to argue with our main force of nearly 2,000 people? In fact, equipment and personnel are secondary, and the most important thing is that they can grasp more, more comprehensive, and more realistic battlefield information, and our side is not only inferior to the opponent in this regard, but on the contrary, we are even restrained by it everywhere. ā€

"As for why we will definitely suffer, there are too many reasons, just to put it simply, their soldiers are the best of our soldiers to fight us, just like a grade set up a real yĆ n class of top students in the whole grade, compared to the average score of our ordinary class is no matter what. Generally speaking, we suffer from electronic countermeasures because they are 'special operations' troops. Qin Xiao continued:

"But we can compare the total scores."

Ma Jinshan smiled approvingly.

Luochuan built yƬ Majin Mountain, armored troops, attack and occupy favorable terrain, do not blindly attack, form a fixed fire support point, and send two armored troops, arranged on both sides of the command center, ready to dispatch. The rest of the troops, in company and platoon units, advanced to the deep search of the Blue Army.

Song Jindong, commander of a special operations brigade of the Blue Army, received a report that two infrared detection and reconnaissance planes had been shot down and had withdrawn from the exercise and fighting. He paused, smiled and said to Liao Kai, the training staff officer next to him:

"See, this old guy Ma Jinshan is here prepared."

Liao Kaidao:

"Boss, if we're going to get close to the line of fire between the two sides, do you think we're the command to change from the plane to the communication vehicle? Although we can carry out electromagnetic interference in a large area, it is difficult to evade the opponent's passive detection methods, and if we are shot down, we will lose. ā€

Song Jindong agreed, so he immediately changed to a communication vehicle and continued to approach the front line to command. å®‹ę™‹äøœ says:

"It seems that you can't underestimate the other party this time, after all, they have suffered a loss."

Liao Kai smiled:

"Boss, you are also becoming more and more timid, the last time they were defeated by us, they will definitely come up with a lot of coping strategies, but they can't escape those routines, we are good at interspersed operations with small units of jungle troops, as long as we take Ma Jinshan's nest, this exercise will be over."

Although Song Jindong felt that something was wrong, he was not sure, so he didn't care about anything anymore, and ordered all the infiltration troops in front to continue to advance, and when he found that the enemy army must be completely annihilated, pay attention to staying hidden.

It was already early in the morning, the sky had not yet dawned, Qin Xiao's three companies did not go too deep, Ma Jinshan continued to send sentinels to find out the situation in front, and the large army moved forward. After the Blues suffered a loss in the air, they no longer carried out aerial reconnaissance, but one of their own armored units was eaten by the opponent because it was exposed. Ma Jinshan was pondering the next strategy at this time, if he attacked blindly, he might cause casualties, and if he didn't attack, he would definitely have no chance of winning.

Qin Xiao saw Ma Jinshan's thoughts and said:

"Regiment Commander, are you afraid that you will suffer a loss, so you dare not attack? In fact, there is no need to be afraid, if we do not attack at this time, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the other side, not only will we not flinch, but we will continue to attack, it is best to order all the attacking troops on the front line to go on the offensive, the more violent the better, so that the play can be realistic, and only then can we try out the enemy's troop deployment. ā€

Ma Jinshan said thoughtfully:

"That's what I thought, it's just a bit too bad to attack blindly. But fortunately, it is a good time for us to attack during the day, so that the other party thinks that we are desperately coming this time, but only the tank battalion is all attacking, and the strength of the other two battalions is only allowed to take out half, I want to see what kind of formation he Song Jindong is. Let's continue to be covert and standby, and we are not allowed to attack without my orders! ā€

At this time, the sky was already dawning, and the armored troops of Regiment A were advancing in three directions with half of the troops, and Song Jindong said to Liao Kai in the command post:

"The red side is going to fight hard, one of his main regiments is in the deep mountains and old forests, putting on this posture, this is a battle of encirclement and annihilation, this is actually to use firepower and numerical superiority to find us for a decisive battle."

Liao Kai looked at the map and said:

"Because of the loss suffered last time, I think that the red side did this, although it is a bit small and big, relying on brute force to win, but it is also a method, otherwise after a long time, our infiltration is successful, he is a million male division, isn't he also a headless fly, can he be captured?"

Song Jindong continued:

"We must fight, but we can't use all our strength, otherwise once we get into a scuffle, we can't get out, and the decapitation operation can't go smoothly. In this way, you let your main force fight with another squadron, pay attention to the strategy, this battle is basically our vitality, but we must keep a squadron of fresh troops, so that we still have a backhand to use. ā€

"Boss, it's good to be like this, but there may be fish that slip through the net, and it will be troublesome in the future, it's better to wipe them all out, and it's better to fight like that again."

Liao Kai was puzzled.

"Actually, what you said makes sense, but wouldn't that be a lose-lose situation? We don't have any room to fight back then, so let's do as I say, and it's okay to leave a few remnants of the soldiers to go back. In addition, it will be easier to break through the protection of the red side's command information transmission. Song Jindong said.

"Yes!" After Liao Kai finished speaking, he went out to arrange.

The advance of the armored forces was actually very slow, but Ma Jinshan just wanted to bluff, and Song Jindong also expected this, so he did not put all his strength into it, but there were swamps everywhere, so that Song Jindong's two squadrons were armed to swim across, interspersed with detours, and the ambushes were also successfully successful, but after all, the firepower and numbers were inferior to the other party, and nearly half of the casualties were also killed.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Jinshan's attacking troops were subjected to a series of blocking and interference, and the armored troops were completely annihilated, but only half of the casualties were inflicted. This also caused a lot of annoyance to Song Jindong's troops, often the soldiers who explored the way passed by and did not find it, and the entire army was ambushed, although it was a special operations force, but the casualties were further increased.

However, at nine o'clock in the evening, Song Jindong successfully implanted the virus in the command center of the red side, paralyzing the red side for two hours, and in these crucial two hours, Liao Kai led a squadron to accurately reach the headquarters of the red side and destroy it. When Liao Kai was about to report to Song Jindong, he saw artillery fire coming, and the entire headquarters was subjected to heavy shelling. Liao Kai and a whole squadron were burned by artillery fire.

In fact, this was arranged by Ma Jinshan in advance, and even Qin Xiao didn't know. He deliberately arranged the gun emplacements near the headquarters to protect the headquarters and second, once the headquarters encountered an accident, the artillery would immediately receive the final procedural order to fire at the headquarters so that the enemy who attacked could also come to the funeral.

Liao Kai never expected that the special combat team members who followed a squadron would be eliminated so easily. Song Jindong didn't expect Ma Jinshan to have this hand, as Qin Xiao said, the self-confidence of special combat personnel is essential in battle, but it is also a huge weakness.

In addition, if contact with the command headquarters is interrupted for more than half an hour, all combat units will immediately activate the radio system, and all units must report the casualties at the position level every half hour in accordance with the order.

Song Jindong now only has less than one squadron left when he was blocking during the day, and his squadron leader and training staff officer Liao Kai are also "hanging", but the good news also came, although he learned that the other party had adopted the original radio contact, but the red signal soldiers he captured and the captured codebook could turn defeat into victory.

So, Song Jindong immediately reorganized the troops, divided into three combat groups, used the radio and code book, and played a game of cat and mouse with Ma Jinshan, and then obtained Ma Jinshan's location and killed him with one blow.

Ma Jinshan didn't expect this in Sanlian, in fact, he had foreseen this when he talked to Qin Xiao for the first time, and Song Jindong would also foresee that Ma Jinshan would have any screening measures such as passwords and codes, but he never expected that Qin Xiao would think of using the dispatcher's reporting method to screen, that is, to use the secretly recorded dispatcher's reporting record, and use the dot timer to type out the map, only he and Ma Jinshan knew, and called it "fingerprint", even Luo Chuan didn't know it, and there was nothing wrong with the screening.

The current situation is that Ma Jinshan has a battalion of troops, about a few hundred people, distributed throughout the exercise ground, searching for the remnants of Song Jindong and the blue side; Song Jindong had about 100 people, divided into three squads, and then divided into several combat groups, and looked for the Red Command in three ways. Although Ma Jinshan lost his command, he was only a shadow command, and the entire combat effectiveness was still there; Although Song Jindong also lost his troops, he still had a great possibility of victory with a radio station and a code book in his hand. But if you add Qin Xiao's screening system, then it is actually difficult to say the battle situation.

It was already early in the morning, and the exercise had passed for a day, but Ma Jinshan and Song Jindong knew very well in their hearts that the real battle had just begun. Ma Jinshan asked Qin Xiao:

"Now how do you think you can find out the remaining special forces, it's best to catch Song Jindong."

Qin Xiao said:

"Now it is estimated that the commander of the blue side has known that we have enabled long-wave radio contact, and may have obtained the code book, our current troops, no, every half an hour will send a report to report the location, this Song Jindong will definitely do this, and there is one thing he doesn't understand, that is, our screening system, but I am worried that he will let the captive soldiers send a report."

Ma Jinshan shook his head and said:

"This will not be, because the exercise is an exercise after all, and the director department takes into account that the captive soldiers will defect to the enemy and will also prefer to die unyielding, which is an uncertain factor, so it is stipulated that during the exercise, it can only obtain basic information such as passwords and passwords, and cannot serve the enemy, otherwise, it is better to completely turn the prisoners into their own soldiers?"

"That's the case, it's the best." Qin Xiao said.

Luo Chuan said to the head of the regiment:

"Regiment leader, you see what to do next, since Qin Xiao said that he can screen the authenticity of the other party, then our people's report half an hour before being captured should be accurate, if the person who sent the report is changed, it means that the other party will also be nearby. How do you think it can be done? ā€

The three of them suddenly fell into deep thought, in fact, the problem is not that they cannot use this point to destroy the enemy, the key is the problem of the size of the results achieved by using this point, and once they succeed, the other party will immediately feel that it is being counter-reconnoitred, and moreover, this kind of fighter may appear at any time, and it will be fleeting.

At present, Ma Jinshan now has more than 20 small detachments in ambush in all corners of the war zone, and there may be a certain team exchanging fire with the other side at any time, so it is easy to be captured and the radio station is captured, and the blue side will definitely send a report on time to conduct intelligence reconnaissance, then Ma Jinshan's side will definitely detect that it is fake, and the fighter plane will appear, and if the fighter plane is not used well and delayed, the other side will be lost in the sea and nowhere to be found.

At this time, Ma Jinshan received a telegram from the 17th Combat Group, and Qin Xiao took out the map for comparison, which was the other party's false information!

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, all thinking about how to respond. At this time, Qin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up and shouted:

"Shuttle bombing!"
