On the sixth day of the exercise, the Blue Army's offensive became more ferocious, because they were still too far from the expected goal set by the exercise director's team, and the Red Army's quagmire tactics dragged down the Blue Army's mechanized troops, and won the greatest victory at the lowest cost.

One of the most crucial victories was the concentration of firepower to completely annihilate one of the main armored regiments of the Blue Army, dozens of the latest main battle tanks and another mechanized infantry regiment after they broke through the pass, and were ambushed by the main force of the Red Army.

Although the Red Army also suffered a lot of losses, but compared to the Blue Army, the losses were much lower, the two armies faced each other, the Red Army dispatched all the air power of the Army Aviation Regiment, plus several ordinary armored regiments and the coverage of guided weapons, the Blue Army suffered heavy casualties as soon as it entered the position, and many tanks could not move forward.

However, the commander of the Blue Army is not a vegetarian, after knowing that the exit they captured was a pocket formation laid by the Red Army, they also severely damaged the two ordinary armored regiments of the Red Army, verified the performance of the Type 99 main battle tank, and with the cooperation of the opponent's land and air, they broke into the trap and scored such a result, which is enough to make the people of the General Armament Department proud.

Although the two ordinary armored regiments of the Red Army were severely damaged, but the main force of the Red Army was not severely damaged, this ace armored regiment was completely annihilated, but it was also lost, from a strategic point of view, the Type 99 main battle tank was hugely powerful, but it was expensive, such an ace armored regiment, although it played a success, but it was still not used properly.

Therefore, although the two ordinary armored regiments of the Red Army were heavily damaged, they were not completely annihilated, at least there was still the existence of combat effectiveness, if it was really in wartime, the Type 99 main battle tank was wiped out in the first battle, the impact on morale, and subsequent development, is a great limitation.

The exercise director team judged that the Red Army had won a complete victory in this armored confrontation, and that the Red Army had destroyed the most valuable resources of the Blue Army at the lowest cost, both tactically and strategically.

In fact, Commander Left was extremely clever and was not prepared to go toe-to-toe with the Blues from the start, holding every pass and giving the Blues the illusion that they were powerless.

But in terms of tactics, Commander Zuo used the tactic of adding fuel to the army, killing all the people, and the people on standby immediately made up for it, and they all went up, guarding every pass, and he used the Army Aviation Regiment as the most mobile force from the beginning to support all passes, so although the Blue Army was pinned down in this quagmire, he thought that the strength of the Red Army was also extremely scattered.

So, the main armored regiment was dispatched, ready to smash the Yellow Dragon, killing the Red Army by surprise, but what I didn't expect was that the Red Army's army aviation regiment quickly assembled, and the Blue Army rushed through the pass and didn't go far before being ambushed by the Red Army's artillery fire, but this was not the main reason.

What the Blues did not expect was that the Red Army began to contain their main armored regiment with only one ordinary armored regiment, regardless of casualties, and bought precious time for their main army aviation regiment and other armored regiments to arrive quickly.

The Blues suffered because they underestimated the speed of the Red Army's arrival, otherwise any main armored regiment would have swept the entire battlefield under the guidance of a part of the air power, but they did not expect to encounter several times the enemy, and they would be weaker in air power in the first place.

So if you lose one step, you lose one step at a time.

Yi Xiaochuan followed Commander Zuo, and the command post was busy for a few days, and no one cared about him as a student, but Yi Xiaochuan observed very carefully, and saw that Commander Zuo was calm and calm both on the electronic map and at the meeting, even if several key passes of the Red Army were almost captured, Commander Zuo was not in a hurry.

At the beginning, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't understand what Commander Zuo was doing, but later, with the reports and suggestions of the staff officers, the development of the battle situation, Yi Xiaochuan somewhat understood, as long as he was at Commander Zuo's command post, looking at the signs on his map, it was clear that the forces of the Blue Army were completely dispersed, and the main force of the Red Army had not gone up, but only symbolically scratched the Blue Army a few times, making the Blue Army mistakenly think that the Red Army was resisting with all its might.

After all, the Blue Army, which was several times larger than the enemy, could hardly imagine that the Red Army actually kept the main force and used small units to hold the passes one by one.

And Commander Zuo is not negligent in the arrangement of small details, the defense of almost every pass, as well as the terrain and support forces connected, almost all of them are ordered by him personally, at first Yi Xiaochuan was strange, there are so many commanders below, what is a commander-in-chief still doing in charge of the defense of these small passes.

However, the clarity of the battle situation made him suddenly realize that it was precisely because these passes were desperately blocking the assault of the Blue Army in all aspects that it had created a situation in which it was now slightly stronger against the Red Army, and once the exercise period expired, the Blue Army would definitely be defeated.

"It's almost time to counterattack, order all units of the Red Army, attack freely, and call me back." Commander Zuo looked at the map, took off his eyes, and said lightly.

Yi Xiaochuan, who was standing on the side, suddenly felt that this old man had a horizontal sword momentum, and he was also surprised, because the staff officers' assessment just now was that the Blue Army still had the possibility of counterattacking, and if the Red Army held its position and delayed time, support would come, and the arrival of support would be the end of the exercise.

This exercise, codenamed "Sword Soul", simulated a sudden attack on the border by a certain country, and the border guards were caught off guard and waited for reinforcements, and as long as the Blue Army captured the Red Army's pass, it could drive all the way into the country, and take the lead, while the Red Army held the pass for seven days, and the reinforcements would arrive, and if they could not hold the border, they would be invaded, and the reinforcements would not be able to occupy any opportunity, and would even disrupt the follow-up deployment.

The pre-war mobilization of Commander Left told everyone that this was not a drill, this was a real war that could happen on the borders of our country at any time, and as soldiers, they could not have any sense of fighting like ordinary people, because behind them was the motherland.

The question that Yi Xiaochuan didn't understand was also a question that the staff officers didn't understand, why did the Red Army take the risk of counterattacking when it had the upper hand? This is highly unconscionable, because the Reds are now strong enough to defend their territory and not fight back, while the Blues may be able to organise an offensive again.

In this case, any commander will never leave the position he has held and carry out a counterattack that may fail.

However, looking at the hesitant looks of the staff officers who were still slightly young, Commander Zuo said: "This is not a drill, this is a real war, when the enemy country gives up peace and invades our borders, we must do more than just defend the land under our feet, we must fight back and fight them terrified; Premier Zhou once said that the Chinese people love peace, but we are not afraid of all enemies who dare to invade our territory." The republic was fought, and if such a war happened on our borders, would we really just defend the territory? ”

Staff officers, look at me, I look at you, although they have heard a lot of bold words and oaths, but I have to say that Commander Zuo's words made their blood boil the most, and from his words, the staff officers also seemed to understand the kind of meaning that Commander Zuo wanted to express.

Just like the code name of this exercise, the sharp sword is pointed at, smashing the enemy's soul, this sword is not talking about the blue army, but the Red Army, if the Red Army just holds the ground under its feet and waits for reinforcements, even if the invaders lose this first war, they will not be able to beat the military might of the Chinese soldiers.

Only a counterattack is a real sword, and only a counterattack can boost the morale of the upcoming reinforcements and keep the recruits who have experienced the war from flinching.

No matter which war, the initial fight is the most critical, the defending side or the attacking side, must drive the entire army's will to fight, so that the follow-up troops along this will to fight, straight into the enemy's heart, so that the enemy is terrified, this is the true meaning of the sword soul, but also the soul of an army.

It is difficult for Yi Xiaochuan to understand the true meaning of this, but his blood is boiling, just that sentence back, let his heart not calm down for a long time, this is an encouragement, even he himself can't think of a word to inspire his courage, at this moment he even wants to take a gun and the blue army to do it, regardless of life and death, which is really incredible for him, who has always been timid and cowardly.

Yun Feiyang stayed in the tank, his camouflage uniform was stained with some oil, which was absolutely unbearable for him who had always loved cleanliness, but not only did he not care, but he was very proud that he had a piece of oil on his body, just like a medal issued to him by a military exercise.

This is when he followed the squad leader to tinker with the tank, although he was a racing driver, he did not have the opportunity to drive the tank, he followed the armored regiment, experienced the battle just now, unfortunately he and his tank hanged, if it was a real battlefield, maybe he is now a pile of meat and tank armor connected together.

After experiencing the Snow Dragon Mountain track and the scene of the military exercise, he has a deeper understanding of life, and from this squad leader, he does not look down on people born in ordinary families so much, because he knows that if this is a war, no matter how you are born, the shells will not grow eyes because of your family's background, and the only people who can believe in the comrades around you who are poor and rich regardless of their birth, because only comrades-in-arms can save your life, this is what the squad leader said to him.

**An Ze felt the excitement of taking a free plane, this guy is still promising, there is no fear of heights, although he is not the main armed helicopter, just a transport helicopter, but for him, the taste of soaring in the sky makes him more excited than buying a million in the lottery.

Unfortunately, shortly after the exercise began, he was judged to have been hit by enemy ground fire, and the plane was destroyed and killed, so he could only follow the pilot to maintain the plane in the tarmac.

And Ye Qiu followed the director team in the simulation room of the exercise, and he was very happy to watch, the entire battlefield was simulated with the picture of the game, and it was extremely realistic, he even felt a little incredible, there would be game-style simulation in the army, but the technician told him that there were not only simulations in the army, but also games specially designed for soldiers, all of which were developed independently for training.

So Ye Qiu was even more determined to play games in the future, and he had to tell his parents when he went back that games were not only harmful, but also had a positive side.

During this period, he thought of Canglong's words again, because of the game simulation equipment in the army, he almost never used it, not because his game skills are not good, but because of the limitation of knowledge, if he really just plays games for the sake of playing games, maybe he can really only stop in this life and be a net worm.

At some point, he decided that he wanted to study hard, master the knowledge, and design his own games in the future, maybe that would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.
