In view of the excellent performance of Xiao Fei and Liu Guoliang in the military academy, Xiao Fei was appointed as the commander of the 1st Regiment, 1st Battalion, and 1st Company of the Independent Mechanized Armored Brigade, and Ding Dong was appointed as the platoon commander of the 3rd platoon of the 1st Company. Liu Guoliang was appointed commander of the 2nd Company, and Tong Zhuang was appointed platoon commander of the 1st platoon of the 2nd Company. On that day, all the officers and men got acquainted with each other, and then they were to engage in a comprehensive exercise in actual combat to test the ability of various units to coordinate operations. Before leaving, He Meng repeatedly stressed that the drill must be close to actual combat.

After dinner, the brothers got together again, and Ding Dong asked: "The two brothers, we had an afternoon meeting at the battalion headquarters, what is the training plan, can you reveal a little." "You two have been silent, could it be that the content of the drill is a military secret?" Tong Zhuang deliberately stimulated. Xiao Fei glanced at Liu Guoliang and said with a smile: "There is no secret, the 1st Tank Regiment plays the Red Army, the 2nd Tank Regiment plays the Blue Army, and the 3rd Tank Regiment temporarily observes." The armored infantry battalion and the motorized battalion were divided into two, which were supplemented to the 1st tank regiment and the 2nd tank regiment respectively. ”

Liu Guoliang said: "In this actual combat exercise, in order to achieve the effect of actual combat, the tank shells are all solid bullets, and hitting the opponent's tank is the win. That is, once the tank is hit by the opponent, it has to withdraw from the battle. When one tank's tank is destroyed by 60 percent, it is considered a failure. If the two sides are evenly matched, whoever can destroy the opponent's headquarters in the last place wins. In addition, the armored infantry battalion and the motorized battalion are mainly used to practice coordinated combat capabilities. ”

Xiao Fei continued: "Everyone, although the solid bullet does not explode, it is also very dangerous. In order to achieve a realistic effect in the exercise, we installed a protective layer of wood on the front and sides of the vehicle, and once it hit the protective layer of wood, it was knocked away. It turns out that the tank was destroyed. The brigade headquarters does not set any rules, and the initiative is completely handed over to us, as long as the other side is defeated. The area of our exercise is 100 square kilometers. The two sides can practice attacking each other, or they can practice covert interspersing, and they can use any means. ”

The next day, the exercise kicked off, and according to the operational plan, the 1st Battalion served as a frontal assault, and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions protected the two wings. The regiment consisted of 53 tanks. Each battalion is 17 tanks. The remaining two tanks were the regimental commander's command combat vehicle and the communications vehicle. The tank battalion consisted of 5 tanks per company, and the remaining two were the battalion commander's command vehicle and communication vehicle. Due to technical bottlenecks, the communication vehicle was only equipped with the battalion headquarters. The whole exercise is 3 days. Day and night, and eating and drinking were on chariots.

The terrain of the exercise area is hilly and densely vegetated, and there are many small rivers in the territory, in order to find out the situation of the other side. Reconnaissance tasks on both sides were assigned to motorized battalions. In order to identify the authenticity of both friend and foe. The Red Army always planted a red flag on the chariots, and the Blue Army had a blue flag. With the instructions of the brigade commander, the exercise officially began, and since the exercise would take place for three days, there was no observation platform, and the officers and men of the 3rd Tank Regiment were scattered within a radius of 100 kilometers to temporarily act as referees.

A flare rises into the sky. The tank tank began to start. The vehicles of both sides are in an attacking state, and the distance between them is at least 20 km. The width of the battlefield is almost 4 km. Therefore, the two sides cannot see each other at all. The tank and combat vehicle rumbled away from the starting place, and the great tremor seemed to express dissatisfaction. The tank Xiao Fei was riding in was a command vehicle, weighing 25 tons and carrying 4 crew members. At this time, Xiao Fei leaned out of the turret and held a telescope to look ahead. The terrain ahead is undulating, with large areas of low wood.

The view is obstructed, and the situation ahead is not clear. Actually, it's a habitual action. "Ding Dong, there is a dwarf forest 1500 meters ahead, and you will bypass the dwarf forest 5 degrees to the right." "Understood!" Ding Dong's loud shouts came from the cab. Xiao Fei moved the telescope to the right side of the turret and found that Liu Guoliang was leaning out of the turret and looking in his direction. Xiao Fei waved his hand and made a few gestures, this was the sign language of the two to achieve the discussion, and Liu Guoliang understood and gestured back a few times.

"Tong Zhuang, I found a dwarf forest in front, Xiao Fei told us to follow up from the right side!" "Understood!" Tong replied loudly. The chariot changed direction slightly to speed up the horsepower, and Tong Zhuang's head squeezed out from Liu Guoliang's side. "What are you doing here? Get back! Liu Guoliang pressed Tong Zhuang in with his arm. Company commander, let me breathe! I'm going to suffocate me! "No, stay at your post, it's an order." Liu Guoliang's angular face exuded majesty.

Tong Zhuang couldn't hold back his loneliness in the car and said: "Company commander, is it obvious that the chariot was hit, what if you can't judge clearly?" "No, there are fireworks in the wooden square, and once hit, it will produce thick smoke, which can be seen clearly from several kilometers away. Notice a small river in front of you and move forward at a constant speed. "The tank slowed down, the tracks made waves in the river, and the clear river grout rolled and was a mess. The chariot easily crossed the creek, its tracks covered with black mud and sand, flying in all directions.

A single motorcycle came galloping, and Xiao Fei ordered to stop advancing. The No. 01 tank in front of it stopped advancing, which means that the whole battalion of tanks stopped in order to find the situation. The motorcycle stopped in front of the tank: "Report to the company commander, the enemy situation has been detected 5 kilometers ahead, and the enemy tank is advancing at full speed in battle formation." Report complete. Xiao Fei saluted the military and said, "All your reconnaissance motorcycles have withdrawn from the combat area, so as not to be injured by mistake." Xiao Fei turned around and picked up the flag to get in touch with the battalion commander's command vehicle behind, and the battalion commander ordered the entire battalion of combat vehicles to enter combat preparation.

After Xiao Fei got into the cab and locked the turret entrance and exit door, the temperature inside quickly soared. I saw sweat coming out of Ding Dong's head, and Ding Dong picked up the kettle and drank it. "Fat, the more you drink water, the more you sweat, you should cool down quickly." After Xiao Fei finished speaking, he quickly took off the tank cap, and then took off the military uniform outside, leaving only a vest inside. Ding Dong was fat himself, so he simply took off his shirt cleanly and naked. The driver and gunner also took off their uniforms, and without the driver's lookout and observation opening, they would not be able to bear it for a minute.

Discovering the enemy's situation, the driver shouted loudly, Xiao Fei immediately raised the telescope to look forward through the observation hole, and sure enough, he found that the tank and combat vehicle of the Blue Army appeared in front of him. "3,000 meters, 2,500 meters??????, 800 meters." At this time, the artillery of both sides began to fire, and the solid shells did not explode, so only the sound of shelling could be heard. 700 meters in front of the gun, wind speed 3 meters to fire. A cannon shot was ejected, and the tank shook violently.

"Didn't hit, fired 0?5 degrees to the left!" "Didn't hit again!" At this time, there was a sound of shaking from the ground on the left, and it was obvious that the other side was also shelling. The driver skillfully walked a zigzag, which was tactically required to deliberately disrupt the opposing side's aiming. Ding Dong hurriedly pushed away the gunner and personally manipulated the artillery, "0?2 degrees to the right to open the cannon!" "Ding Dong skillfully manipulated the cannon and fired the gun. A puff of smoke rose from the opposing vehicle. "Ha Luha, hit well hit." Xiao Fei was overjoyed.

In the No. 06 chariot, Liu Guoliang, Tong Zhuang and others were also sweating profusely. The chariot shook violently, and a shell flew out of the chamber. "Fucking missed again, Tong Zhuang, can you do it, this is the 5th shot," Liu Guoliang roared loudly. His loud shouting affected the driver's quick evasion, and the chariot was violently slammed, and the concussion made everyone a little dizzy. "Company commander, we were hit," Tong Zhuang cried. Liu Guoliang angrily opened the turret door, only to see a puff of black smoke filling the sky.

There is no doubt that their own tank was destroyed. "How did you do it, when you were in the military school, your shooting skills were excellent, and you didn't hit the target with two shots in a row, Jane is a waste." "Company commander, my hand is not smooth today, just a little bit." Liu Guoliang couldn't wait to kick him and said: "A little bit, you can say it, as soon as the battle began, my command vehicle was destroyed, and I, the company commander, were also killed, which is a shame." ”

As dusk came, the two sides ceased fighting and retreated 5 kilometers each, and the tanks had to be replenished with fuel and ammunition. In addition, destroyed vehicles on both sides are to withdraw from the combat area. On the turret of the No. 01 tank, Ding Dong looked proudly in the direction of the battalion headquarters, his face was radiant. Today, Ding Dong killed 3 enemy tanks, which can be described as a brilliant result. Although two tanks were destroyed, the result of the whole company was to destroy four tanks of the opponent and almost reimburse one tank company of the opponent.

A three-wheeled motorcycle suddenly came, and Xiao Fei jumped out of the car in the night. Ding Dong immediately jumped down from the tank and asked, "Company commander, the battalion commander praised us!" "What's the use of praising us? Liu Guoliang of the 2nd Company was destroyed by the enemy as soon as he entered the battle, and their company was destroyed by 4 tanks, and only one enemy tank was destroyed. The battalion commander reported that the whole regiment was destroyed 22 tanks, and the Blue Army lost 21 tanks, are you still happy to hear this news? ”

"Company commander, Liu Guoliang shouldn't be, why did the gutter capsize, Tong Zhuang's shooting skills are better than mine!" Ding Dong was surprised. "I don't know exactly what their situation is, and the battalion commander asked us to continue to work hard and continue to expand the results. On the way back, I thought about it, I had to play some yin. You take someone to chop some branches immediately, and we will secretly move forward 5 kilometers tonight, hiding and ambushing on the battlefield, and taking the blue army by surprise. ”

The next day, the offensive drill between the two sides began again, Xiao Fei commanded 3 tanks to ambush on the battlefield, the branches wrapped the tank chariots, looking like a raised grass hill from a distance, 3 taels of tanks finished glyphs, the blue chariots did not expect that there would be concealment and hiding chariots on the offensive road, so the 3 chariots of the blue side in this direction swaggered and roared. In the No. 01 chariot, Xiao Fei carefully stared ahead through the observation hole and said: "Let the enemy enter 500 and then open fire, you will be killed with one shot." ”

With the No. 01 tank cannon ejected, a blue army tank in front of it emitted thick smoke, and in less than ten minutes, the three or two tanks of the front blue army were destroyed, and Xiao Fei's concealment tactics were a great success. At noon on the third day, the brigade headquarters announced the end of the exercise. The red side lost 75 percent and the blue team lost 79 percent, a difference of 4 percentage points, with the Red Army winning narrowly. The covert tactics adopted by Xiao Fei played a crucial role in the victory of the Red Army's chariots. Xiao Fei's 1st Tank Company destroyed 7 tanks of the Blue Army at the cost of losing 3 combat vehicles, and was rated as the 1st Company of the Tigers.

The second stage was a melee drill, in which both sides won by destroying the headquarters. In the second phase of the exercise, Liu Guoliang was brave and led the whole company to destroy the headquarters of the Blue Army in one fell swoop, and was known as the 2nd Company of Zhiyong. In the third stage, the comprehensive combat efficiency of the mechanized armored brigade increased dramatically with the passage of time. The headquarters of the front army ordered that the comprehensive exercises of the mechanized armored brigade be completed by the end of the year. (To be continued......)
