The sneak attack began the next day......

One of the benefits of being a Blues is that you don't need to warn the Reds before a sneak attack...... Because the actual combat is also like this, it is impossible for the Soviet army to sue us before launching a sneak attack.

Of course, we still told the director team about the sneak attack...... It is necessary to sue the director team, because only then can the director team prepare an observation plan for our sneak attack in advance...... This observation program will not be as simple as sending a few observers...... Sometimes it should be said that an exercise is more complicated than a real war, because the director team must stagger the two participating units in time or space, which makes the exercise have to have a detailed observation plan for each battle, and only in this way can the exercise achieve the desired results without confusion and casualties......

Some people may think that it is just a drill, how can there be chaos or even casualties......

But in fact, casualties during exercises are very common, such as improper arrangements by the director team...... When one side needs to be shelled, the troops that should be withdrawn are not withdrawn, or the area of shelling is not clearly defined...... It will directly lead to accidental injuries in the exercise!

Of course, this will not be the case in our current exercise...... The director team is a high-ranking cadre, and some of their staff officers are...... You can arrange this drill very carefully!

Then the plan quickly unfolded......

The time of the sneak attack was undoubtedly chosen at night...... The reason why we chose night is not because the night is more secretive to us, which is convenient for our army to sneak attack, of course, this is also one of the reasons.

But more importantly...... Still through a period of observation, we find that the sappers of the Red Army are day and night...... That is, they spread out during the day and rested in various tunnels. Only at night will the construction be concentrated near the fourth line of defense......

The reason for this goes without saying. To avoid the air power of our army, of course...... Know if they're working during the day. Then we only need to send a few helicopters to fire a round of machine guns and rockets at them from time to time, or direct artillery fire to bombard their construction positions indiscriminately...... This makes it easy to make it impossible for the engineering unit to work.

The Red Army, of course, was not fools...... So from the very beginning, they chose to build at night, which is the same as the volunteers of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea...... Because air supremacy is completely in the hands of the United Nations Army, the vast majority of volunteers choose the night whether they are fighting, marching, construction, etc.!

Of course, the fact that the Red Army sappers chose to work at night did not mean that they would be able to avoid the blows of our air power, and they also had to work in the dark (the lights would indicate the targets to our artillery)...... This will undoubtedly affect the speed of their construction, but at least they will not be purely a target for our air power!

Originally, I thought that the sneak attack plan would go smoothly...... We're not prepared for it. And with such a strong combat power as a special agent company and a helicopter, they attacked the engineer battalion of the Red Army...... That's not all it takes!

But two sneak attacks were launched in two consecutive nights, and the results ended in a miss...... Helicopters with troops appeared in the sky above the Red Army engineer battalion...... When the spotlight shines down, there is no shadow of the construction of the engineer battalion at all, leaving only a large pile of freshly dug up soil, and a lot of logs, steel frames and other construction materials that have not had time to be taken away......

"What kind of fame?" When he got the report of the helicopter formation, Zhao Jingping slammed the microphone in his hand on the table: "The Red Army knows the news in advance!" ”

Although Zhao Jingping didn't explain what he said, I knew what he meant...... There was a lot of new soil and materials left at the scene, which showed that the helicopter formation had found the right location. But there was no one...... It means they know we're targeting them!

"Could it be that the director team told the Red Army about our plan?" Zhao Jingping said with a frown.

"Huh!" The instructor immediately objected: "The matter has not been clarified yet, don't be suspicious...... The director team is composed of senior cadres like Commander Huang, how could they leak the news! ”

I know why Zhao Jingping has this suspicion...... From the very beginning, it was obvious that his superiors were favoring the side of the Red Army, so naturally he would suspect the director team after something happened!

But......

"I don't think it's about the director's team!" I said: "If it was the director's team who leaked our plans to the Red Army...... Then it would not have been the Red Army sappers scattered in a hurry. Instead, the Red Army has set a trap waiting for us to drill into it! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but nodded, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Then ......" After a pause, Zhao Jingping said again: "Could it be that there are spies in our troops?" ”

I shook my head: "First of all...... If it was the cadres of our troops who leaked the news. The result is the same as what the director team leaked...... The Red Army should have laid a trap. If it's a fighter...... They didn't know where we were going until they got on the helicopter, and they didn't have the conditions to leak information after they got on the helicopter! ”

"That'...... It's ......"

"I want to ......," I said, "it should be that there is something wrong with our actions, and we still underestimate Liu Guoyan!" ”

"Underestimating Liu Guoyan?" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but look at me in surprise: "What does the battalion commander mean...... Is this Liu Guoyan discovering our sneak attack plan? But...... How is this possible?! ”

"Of course it's possible!" I said, "Do you remember...... How did our volunteer soldiers launch air raid alerts for other units or logistics units? ”

"I know this!" The instructor interjected: "The volunteer soldiers are warning in the form of 'anti-aircraft guns'...... The 'anti-aircraft gun' here does not refer to shooting planes with guns...... However, because the communications equipment of the Volunteer Army was backward at that time, many soldiers were unable to warn other units although they found enemy planes flying in the air...... The enemy planes are flying too fast, and when we notify the other troops, the enemy planes have completed their bombing missions and returned home!

So the superiors came up with a solution...... Divide some of the troops into small detachments and distribute them in various locations like loose beans...... As soon as they heard the sound of enemy planes passing in the air, they fired several shots into the sky in a regular manner...... It's like a beacon for delivering news, especially in the dark...... When the other troops heard the gunfire from afar, they knew that the enemy plane was nearby, so they hurriedly did their job of concealment...... There are even times when the superiors can get through the guò anti-aircraft gun route...... deduced the target of the enemy aircraft ......"

Speaking of this, the instructor and Zhao Jingping couldn't help but "hmm", and said in unison: "Liu Guoyan is using an 'anti-aircraft gun'!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded and said, "Liu Guoyan uses 'anti-aircraft guns', but they don't need to shoot guns now, they only need to distribute walkie-talkies everywhere like beans...... When they hear the noise of the helicopter, they report it to their superiors, so they can roughly deduce our target from the direction of our flight! ”

"it!" Zhao Jingping couldn't help scolding: "I didn't expect this Liu Guoyan to have two hits!" ”

The political commissar nodded and said, "Without two brushes, how can you be the head of this hero regiment...... I think it's strange that the tactics used by Liu Guoyan seem to be related to resisting US aggression and aiding Korea......"

"This is not strange!" Zhao Jingping replied: "I have investigated Liu Guoyan...... His father was a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea...... I didn't take it to heart before, but now that I think about it...... Maybe it all came from his father! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, the political commissar and I couldn't help but suddenly realize.

Then Zhao Jingping sighed: "So...... Our plan to attack the engineer battalion is only ......."

I understand what Zhao Jingping meant...... You know, we have not only targeted the engineer battalions of the Red Army more than once, the first time it may be said occasionally, and after the second time...... I'm afraid that the fools will know what we mean, in other words...... The Red Army already knew what we were aiming for...... That's not a sneak attack.

Next...... Even if the Red Army engineer battalion does not hide...... We are afraid and dare not launch a sneak attack on it as planned, because it is likely to be a trap for us!

"Battalion commander......" the commissar frowned and said, "Then what is next......"

There was silence in the battalion headquarters......

And then there's a problem...... This was a difficult problem not only because our plan to attack the engineer battalion was declared bankrupt, but also because the Red Army was heavily prepared...... If they do, our helicopters will basically not be able to escape their sight, even at night.

At this time, I couldn't help but think with some anger...... This is not bullying, we are using straight five changes! You must know that the helicopter of the Soviet army is Mi-24...... This helicopter is not something that can be taken down by a single anti-aircraft machine gun or a small-caliber anti-aircraft gun...... If we have 24 meters in our hands...... What if the Red Army had set a trap? Under the defense and firepower of the Mi-24, it is not only the share of being beaten?!

From this point of view...... Our Blues who play the role of the Soviet Army...... It's really fucking not at all the advantage of the Soviet army.

"In that case...... "The commissar hesitated, "and we can only turn this sneak attack in other directions......

I shook my head...... It was not easy to turn the target of the sneak attack in other directions, for the Red Army at this time already had complete fortifications, and a considerable amount of time was aimed at our air forces...... The so-called air power here is not only the defense of tunnels, but also the configuration of anti-aircraft firepower...... In this case, the sneak attack of the straight five changes is likely to turn into a fiasco!

And it seems that there is no strategic point in sneaking up on other units, unless it is the command of the Red Army that is attacking......

So I shook my head and said, "No, our goal is still the Red Army engineer battalion!" (To be continued......)
