Chapter 29 Military Exercises (Part II)

Blue Army Command. The signal soldier quickly ran in and said loudly: "Report, battle report ahead"

"Speak" Zhang Zhizhong's concise and concise words,

"The red side sent three companies to form a straggler front to approach our forward positions, and there is no artillery fire at the moment." The Signal Corps reported,

"Got it, let's find out." Zhang Zhizhong said, facing the pressure that the principal is about to come to the scene tonight, Zhang Zhizhong doesn't want to be too embarrassed, don't be embarrassed by the red side's charge to kill the command headquarters.

"Order, the fourth company is in formation, ready to support the main position attacked by the red side at any time." Zhang Zhizhong ordered,

"Yes" a herald hurried out,

"Report, go to the battle report" Another signal soldier ran into the headquarters,

"Speak!" Zhang Zhizhong frowned and said, praying in his heart, "Don't break the defense of a company with a single charge, then it will be a shame and a big loss." โ€

"The red side began to dig trenches at the edge of the range of our machine guns, and the commander of a company in front asked for instructions on whether to take the initiative to attack and hit the other side by surprise," the signal soldier reported.

"No, tell the company commander that his main task is to guard his own defensive line, don't fall for the red side's plan, and be transferred by the red side to fight a field battle without trenches, that is just looking for death." Zhang Zhizhong scolded sharply,

"Yes," the communications soldier ran out again.

The red and blue sides opposed the front line of the anti-resistance exercise, and the blue cadet brigade was obscene in the trench according to the commander-in-chief's order, watching the opposite side dig the half-meter-deep trench bunker step by step towards its own side.

"Company commander, they are digging fortifications and constantly approaching us, they must want to shorten the charging distance and avoid large-scale casualties, if they call for artillery support within 500 meters of our defensive line, then we are finished! As long as the referee team determines that our position is destroyed, then we will come out from behind this defense line and go straight to the simulation city! A cadet said to the commander of a company, Wei Guoxun,

"Yes, their tactic is indeed the best tactic that can be thought of at the moment, as long as we break through our defense line and there are no major casualties, it is really possible to attack the city directly, then we will lose half of it, the signal soldier, notify the command and ask for an order to deal with it." Wei Guoxun turned his head to the communication soldier and said,

"Yes" The messenger turned and rode away, and after a while, the messenger returned.

"Report, the commander-in-chief ordered: 150 behind our line of defense to build a second line of defense, all light and heavy machine guns are transferred to the second line of defense, the main force of infantry is defended in situ, if a large-scale cluster charge is launched on the opposite side, the infantry retreats to the second line of defense after three rounds of fire, and there are light and heavy machine guns to fire a large number of living forces on the opponent."

After receiving the order, the commander of the first company suddenly became enlightened, and it seemed that the command headquarters wanted to fight for consumption. Although this will not be a great achievement, it will not be a great failure, after all, no one dares to take risks in front of the headmaster and General Sickert.

The two companies of the advancing Red Army, led by the colonel's staff officer, were observing the situation of the cadet brigade with binoculars, and the blue side of the cadet brigade was still not moving.

"Do we launch an infantry attack when we reach the 400-meter area, after all, after reaching the 400-meter area, the blue side will definitely not let us dig trenches quietly, and when we reach the 400-meter area, the geological environment is not suitable for large-scale excavation, and it is very difficult to excavate." A captain, company commander, consulted the colonel's staff officer.

"Don't worry, I think we can use the cover of artillery fire to directly break down the defense line of the cadet brigade on the opposite side, so that we can build a defensive line under the opponent's city tonight and wait for an opportunity to attack the city." The colonel's staff officer said proudly,

"Signal Corps, report our battle plan to the commander-in-chief and request artillery support." The colonel's staff officer called out to the communications officer and said,

The command of the Red Army, "report, report on the front-line combat situation. The signal soldier shouted in,

"Speak," Gui Yongqing said, and after the communications corps relayed the suggestions of the front-line staff officers, he stood upright.

"Tell the forward troops that it's now 3:30 p.m., and it's about 7 o'clock to 7:30 o'clock when it's dark, and at 6:30 p.m. I will call them artillery support, and after artillery support, you must rush across the opposite position in one fell swoop," Gui Yongqing ordered,

In the forward position of the Red Army, the colonel's staff officer, after receiving the order, ordered the two company commanders to advance the trench to 400 meters, and then informed most of the brothers to rest, recuperate their strength, and prepare to break the opposite position in one fell swoop at dusk; Sending two companies of veterans with accurate shooting to stay in the forward trenches and take advantage of the opportunity of the opposite side's negligence to shoot cold shots at the opposite side, it is best to cause casualties, and it is best to make the student soldiers on the opposite side tired under pressure without casualties.

With the sound of "bang, bang, bang" rifles, the attacking troops of the red side began to carry out long-distance killings on the opposite blue cadet brigade, and in the initial time, the blue side was judged by the referee to have 5 dead and 6 seriously injured, basically losing its combat effectiveness. After receiving the order from the headquarters, the blue cadet brigade decisively sent cadets with good shooting results to start firing back, but the effect was not great, and basically did not cause combat attrition to the red side.

In such a war of attrition, the time was imperceptibly six o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the two company commanders on the front of the red side were competing for the attack task in front of the colonel's staff officer, "I see that the opposite side is no longer breathless, and I suggest that after the artillery bombardment, our company will launch an attack to ensure that a wave of attack will directly defeat the opposite side." A captain company commander said,

"Cut, our second company promises to advance the battle line directly to the red side's city." Another captain, the company commander, was not convinced,

"Don't argue, so be it! The total defensive strength on the opposite side was only one company, and I decided to attack by the first company, and the second company directly crossed the first company and attacked the opponent's simulated city after the first company took the opposite position. The colonel's staff officer said,

"But, second company commander, you must pay attention to the fact that if you encounter a counterattack by a large force of the opponent on the way forward, you must defend on the spot and hold the defensive line, you know?" The colonel's staff officer said,

"Yes, guaranteed to get the job done. I said that we should not defend on the spot at all, and with the strength of our second company, we can directly defeat the student soldiers on the opposite side in the field battle, so as not to have to play with them tomorrow. The captain and company commander said with a smile,

"No, carry out the order, beware of the gutter capsizing; General Zhang Zhizhong on the other side is not a vegetarian," the colonel's staff officer said solemnly,

"Delusional to crush our morale with cold guns, I think the teaching corps still lacks a good pair of teeth" Seeing that the blue side could gradually shoot at each other in the cold guns, except for the more than 10 people who began to die or were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, basically no personnel withdrew in the next few hours, and the commander of the first company, Wei Guoxun, said to himself,

Finally, at about 6:45, the referee informed the commander of the first company, Wei Guoxun, that because the opponent had used one of the three artillery attacks, according to the situation of the blue trenches and the distribution of personnel, all personnel were declared dead except for the light and heavy machine guns of the second line of defense. Exit in general.

General Zhang Zhizhong, who was informed of the situation, secretly said that it was not good, and urgently ordered He Jianye to lead the fourth company to urgently reinforce the second line of defense, and asked the second line of defense not to open and rob when the red side passed through the first line of defense, and to put it 100 meters before opening fire, and strive to eliminate the living forces of the red side in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the company of his side easily occupied the first line of defense of the Blue Cadet Brigade, the colonel's staff officer stood up and said: "The commander-in-chief is far-sighted, the defense line built by the blue side was simply occupied by our army, and the casualties were less than 20 people, while the red side directly lost a company, it seems that we will win a big victory in this battle and annihilate all the blue troops in two days!" โ€

"Second Company Commander, attack quickly, hit the opposite side by surprise," the colonel's staff officer then ordered,

Under the leadership of the captain and company commander, the officers and men of the second company of the teaching corps quickly rushed out of the position, ran directly through the position occupied by the first company, and rushed to the front in a straggler formationใ€... "Da Da, Da Da, Da......" Suddenly there was a sound of shooting from the Makqin heavy machine gun and the Czech light machine gun in front, and in an instant, the second company advancing into a skirmish line was judged by the referee to be killed 60 people in the sudden gunfire, and the rest of the people immediately lay on the ground under the command of the second company commander to shoot, at this time, the fourth company under the leadership of He Jianye felt the battlefield in time, but He Jianye did not reach the second line of defense according to the requirements of the command, and went around directly from the right, In the midst of the charging fire, the second company of the red side was judged dead. Gui Yong, who learned the news, beat his chest angrily, he could have behaved well in front of the principal, but the damn stupid second company commander was all reimbursed this time, in addition to occupying a defensive line, the personnel loss was greater than that of the other party, and the most important thing was to waste an opportunity for artillery support, and a total of three artillery support could be called in this exercise!

Zhang Zhi, who got the battle report, was in a good situation, and his own side was originally pressed and beaten, but He Jianye hit the opponent's vital point this time and directly destroyed a company on the opposite side. "Not bad! He Jianye was informed that the Fifth Company would serve as a mobile unit, and the Fourth Company would be converted into a guard company and a unit with the right to dispatch on its own. Zhang Zhizhong ordered,

"Report, the principal arrived at the referee's tent and is inquiring about the exercises on both sides" The signal corps came to report.

Zhang Zhizhong looked stunned, hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and hurriedly said to a few people: "When the night comes, the red side will basically not launch a large-scale attack, tell the frontline troops to hold their combat positions, if you feel that the other party is pressing on you, notify He Jianye to support, I will go to meet the commission!" โ€

Gui Yongqing, who also received the news, also went straight to the referee's tent after arranging the defense for the night.

Zhang Zhizhong and Gui Yongqing arrived at the referee's tent at the same time, the two looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Zhizhong shouted loudly: "Report, Zhang Zhizhong, the chief of education of the Central Army Military Academy, came to report!" Gui Yongqing then reported loudly: "Report, Gui Yongqing, the head of the Central Army Teaching Corps, came to report!" โ€

"Come in" came from inside the tent with a thick Fenghua accent. After the two lifted the curtain of the tent and entered, they stood up in unison and saluted Jiang Zhongzheng.

Chairman Jiang looked at Gui Yongqing and Zhang Zhizhong and said with a smile: "Wenbai, frank, a few of us just said that your confrontation at dusk today can be described as wonderful and good!" But it's your command! โ€
