In the conference room of the director's department, listening to He Zhijun's detailed narration, the incredible looks on everyone's faces finally recovered.

At the turn of the millennium, drones were used more and more frequently on the battlefield.

Especially in the Iraq war three years ago, the role of drones was even more obvious.

Whether it is reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, or covering fighter groups, these UAVs play a great role.

Even sometimes, the air strikes of the United States will be launched using drones.

After seeing the broad prospects of this technology, our military will naturally not slack off in its research.

In recent years, no less than three research institutes in the military have begun to study and expand this technology.

As of the end of last year, almost all of the army's main divisions and brigades were equipped with drone reconnaissance companies.

The number of drones is basically maintained at about 10~15.

Therefore, the cadres present also have a certain understanding of the technology of drones.

However, drones that are really used for active attack are really not seen by everyone.

Especially at present, the W Brigade of the Blue Party has actually created a "drone combat company" that has never been heard of, which is really confusing.

What everyone wants to know now is whether this "drone combat company" is a trick made by Su Qiyue, or is it really combative.

While everyone was looking forward to it, Su Qiyue was also engrossed in paying attention to the dynamics of drones on the battlefield.

As the Z-9 climbed step by step, the Blue Command Headquarters had risen to an altitude of 5,000 meters.

You must know that the flight altitude of a normal civil helicopter is only about 2,000 meters.

Occasionally, there will be a breakthrough, and it will not exceed 4000 meters.

Although the performance of the Z-9 is very superior, 6000 meters is also a technical difficulty for it.

Approaching 6,000 meters, you are basically at the limit.

At present, the Z-9 equipped with the command center of the blue side has flown to this altitude, which is already an extremely risky thing.

After all, maintaining such a height is very dangerous.

Moreover, the plane includes the deputy commander-in-chief of Lan Fangzheng, and if there is any accident, it will be a big deal.

However, Su Qiyue seems to be very confident in the pilot.

Even at such a height, his face was as usual, and he couldn't see the change in his expression at all.

Glimpsing his indifferent appearance, even Fan Tianlei and Yin Aiyong couldn't help but secretly admire.

"Report 01, twenty-eight drones of the drone combat company have been assembled!"

The voice of Shi Donghai, the commander of the UAV combat company, came from the communication.

After confirming that his drone has entered the combat state, Su Qiyue will naturally not have any more hesitation.

He ordered directly: "Attention units, all-out counteroffensive - Operation Dark Night has officially begun!" ”

With Su Qiyue's order, the feedback of various units sounded in the communication one after another.

"The swarm of drones rose into the air, targeting the enemy's 922,153 positions. Objective: Destroy all tanks and armored units in the forward positions of the Red side. ”

"Yes!"

Shi Donghai responded and immediately gave an attack order to his company's people.

The next moment, twenty-eight helicopters carrying AR-0 missiles rose into the air almost simultaneously.

Immediately after liftoff, they scattered in a staggered manner, and then disappeared into the darkness ahead in batches.

In the Blue Fang Headquarters, after Su Qiyue watched the drone swarm take off, his eyes immediately turned to another unit.

"09, report the position of your squadron striker."

After Su Qiyue asked, Long Xiaoyun's voice quickly came to mind in the communication.

"Report 01, the first squadron of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade and the first squad of the Wolf Warrior Squadron have approached the battlefield, and they are 5 kilometers away from the nearest ground target!"

Su Qiyue sighed, looked at his watch, checked the time, and immediately ordered: "2 minutes and 30 seconds later, the forward battalion set off from the ground and quickly approached the forward position of the red side. ”

"After 10 minutes, the rest of your combat units took the helicopter and made a detour to the rear. Wait for time, feel free to infiltrate. ”

"Roger!"

Long Xiaoyun responded concisely, and then stopped talking.

On the other side, listening to the conversation between Su Qiyue and Long Xiaoyun, the corners of Fan Tianlei's mouth moved.

Su Qiyue noticed his doubts, but at this time, time was pressing, so naturally he didn't have time to explain in detail.

Turning his head to look at Yin Aiyong, Su Qiyue then gave another order.

"Political Commissar Yin, 05 Senior Chief of Staff, you are responsible for keeping in touch. Keep me informed as soon as there is a situation on the southern front. ”

Yin Aiyong readily agreed, turned his head and whispered a few words to the information commander in the cabin, and quickly talked to Gao Dazhuang.

Looking at the movements of this Yin political commissar Mali, Su Qiyue nodded secretly.

After the entire "Operation Dark Night" plan, in fact, the southern defense line of his own fortress was what Su Qiyue was most worried about.

The reason is very simple, the number of left-behind troops on this side is the smallest.

The entire defense line is only four or five hundred people when it is fully fought.

Although these four or five hundred people include the two elite main squadrons of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade.

But in terms of absolute strength, compared to the T division opposite, it is too much worse.

If the commanders and fighters of the T Division learned of their own reality and gave an order to attack, they would have almost no choice but to evacuate the defensive line.

Otherwise, what awaits them can only be the end of the group's annihilation.

What's more, they still have a long way to go.

They had to carry the Red T Division for at least an hour and a half under such high pressure.

The reason is simple: it will take an hour at the earliest for your own "Operation Night" to achieve phased results.

After the operation is confirmed, the main forces on the front can quickly return to help.

During this period, if the T Division insists on launching a strong attack regardless of the shackles of radio and information interruptions, the tall and strong men will be very dangerous.

The reason why such an arrangement was made was that Su Qiyue was not actually taking risks, but had to do it as a last resort.

After all, the exercises are not real combat.

If this is a real battle, after its own drone combat company is dispatched, it will be able to break the armored array of the Red Infantry Brigade in an instant.

However, in the case of an exercise, after a certain round of attacks by one side, it is necessary to confirm and calculate it by the director department and the observation group.

The time for this statistics and calculation is much longer than that of actual combat.

In a way, this also gives the passive party more time to react.

If the commanders of the T Division react quickly and decisively, then they will have a chance to seize the opportunity to attack during their "Operation Dark Night".

Gently clenching his fists, Su Qiyue couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

What kind of results can be achieved in today's all-out counteroffensive, to put it bluntly, depends on the "Operation Dark Night".

If this special operations force led by Long Xiaoyun can carry out the "Dark Night Operation" very thoroughly, then everything is easy to say.

Even before the T Division and the DA Division could react, one of the Red Brigades was already disabled.

However, if the "Operation Dark Night" is strongly obstructed by the Infantry Brigade and cannot break through its defense line for a long time, then the other two battlefields will be very passive.

Seeing that Su Qiyue no longer gave orders, Fan Tianlei, the deputy commander-in-chief, dared to speak.

"Commander-in-chief, why do you want several special operations teams to spare the rear?"

Fan Tianlei said with a little puzzlement, "If the helicopter combat company can play normally, the forward position of the mechanized infantry brigade will suffer heavy losses. The space left is just right for our helicopter units to land and strike! ”

Listening to Fan Tianlei's question, Su Qiyue waved his hand lightly.

"Of course, there is a reason for this...... After the exercise in the past two days, the reason why the red side has not acted rashly is most likely because it is afraid of the infiltration and attack of our special operations forces. ”

"If this is what I deduced, the red side must have deployed a large number of anti-infiltration troops behind the forward positions."

"Even if the drone combat company has achieved good results and paralyzed the armored units in the forward positions of the red side, these anti-infiltration units are a trench across our side."

Su Qiyue said calmly, "No matter how elite the several special operations squadrons and special operations teams led by 09 are, it will be difficult to complete a breakthrough in a short period of time in the face of the anti-infiltration troops that have long been prepared." ”

Hearing this, Fan Tianlei had completely understood.

He patted his head vigorously, nodded again and again, "Yes, how did I forget this stubble?" ”

Indeed, as Su Qiyue said, two days after the exercise began, the red side has not begun to attack on a large scale in the three directions.

This shows that the commanders and fighters of the red side are still very afraid of the forcible infiltration of their own special operations forces.

According to Su Qiyue's analysis, the red side must have placed the most elite reconnaissance troops in its headquarters to prevent a sudden sneak attack by the blue side.

Although the Mechanized Infantry Brigade does not have a special operations squadron, the strength of their reconnaissance unit is also not covered.

Without terrain superiority and fire support, it would be difficult for Long Xiaoyun and her men to break through a reconnaissance force protected by friendly forces around them.

In this case, Su Qiyue simply revised his battle plan.

It was true that he continued to send a "drone combat company" on the frontal battlefield, but in the same direction, he only sent a small number of main forces to attract enemy fire and pack up some shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

The real main force will make a surprise attack by detouring through the rear of the infantry brigade.

Such an arrangement can allow Long Xiaoyun and the main combat troops to maintain more physical strength.

In addition, it will allow them to better choose their targets and reduce the pressure on them.

In the plan of the Soviet Union, after the drone combat series of large-scale missile attacks, it is impossible for the red side to let it go.

They will definitely send another strong force in this direction to reverse their passivity.

Once the infantry brigade began to deploy troops and all of them came to support the front line, their rear would naturally be weak.

At that time, it will be easier for Long Xiaoyun and her subordinates to break through to the core position of the Red Infantry Brigade.

At this time, Su Qiyue had basically determined the general headquarters of the Red Side, which was hidden in the Jibu Brigade.

It's just that he hasn't said this, but he just knows it in his heart.

At present, his "heaven and earth net" has been prepared for the commander-in-chief of the red side, and it depends on how the other party responds.

……

Twenty minutes later, on the battlefield in the north-west.

The first drone, from a height of about 300 meters in the air, dropped the first "AR-0" at the forward position of the red side.

As the "AR-0" accurately hit a tank on the ground, an exclamation rang out in the conference room of the director's office.

"Did you hit?"

Looking at the flash of red light on the big screen, Du Zhongping couldn't help but ask Qin Zhongpei.

Qin Zhongpei knew that Chief Du was in an anxious mood at this time, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and walked to the information analysis team in person.

After carefully watching the information and technical parameters provided by the information analysis group, Qin Zhongpei immediately turned back and prepared to report to General Director Du.

However, when he turned around, the "red lights" on the big screen were already one after another.

Looking at the smoke billowing behind the bunker in the forward position of the red side, Rao is Qin Zhongpei had already been mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"This~This ......"

Hearing his voice, Du Zhongping turned to look at him.

"Zhongpei, it looks like there is no need for data analysis. These precise smoke are already very telling. ”

After Chief Du said this, Qin Zhongpei quickly came to his senses.

Indeed, the weapons of both the red and blue sides were constrained during the exercise.

A lethal weapon such as the AR-0 missile must be non-lethal if it is a tank or armored vehicle that can directly attack the enemy.

There is only a symbolic colored gas, or smoke.

Otherwise, if something happens during the exercise, it is easy to cause serious casualties.

At present, although the dozens of tanks and armored vehicles of the Red Infantry Brigade have certainly not been really harmed, the presence of a large amount of smoke undoubtedly illustrates the problem.

There is no need for the director's department to give the calculation results, everyone can see that the batch of tanks and infantry vehicles on the red side must be reimbursed.

There is no problem with everyone's speculation, as the blue side's drone is raging for a while, the analysis results of the information analysis team of the director's department are finally long overdue.

"It was confirmed that the blue drone attack, causing 16 tanks on the red side to be reimbursed, 3 tanks seriously injured, and 2 tanks slightly injured."

After a pause, the captain continued to speak: "Based on the results of the comprehensive analysis, it is determined as follows: the second and third companies of the tank battalion of the Red Infantry Brigade are all reimbursed, and the first and second companies of the first armored infantry battalion have lost their combat effectiveness......

Listening to the captain's report, Gao Aiguo, who had a solemn face, couldn't help but ask, "What about the blue side?" Are there no casualties at all? ”

The reason why Gao Aiguo asked this question is because he has just seen from the video footage provided by the blue side that the ground troops of the red side have fought back.

It stands to reason that even if tank battalions and armored infantry battalions are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons that only carry rocket artillery, they can bomb one or two drones, right?

However, Gao Aiguo's judgment has deviated a little.

The next words of the captain of the information analysis team made him completely dumbfounded.

"Report to the chief, none of the 28 drones on the red and blue sides were damaged, and all of them returned safely......"
