The tasks of this exercise were very sudden, and many of the troops participating in the exercise received orders on an ad hoc basis, and the tasks of each unit were also different, but they were similar, and cross-regional, multi-group, multi-service, and multi-service coordinated joint operations, and Han Song's brigade was a part of the Blue Side, which was under the command of the group army headquarters.

For example, the troops stationed in the north for training have to return to the south, and the troops stationed in the south for training have to return to the north, and in order to ensure that the local order is not affected, the time of departure will usually be staggered, but this time, the General Staff had a whim, and they all wanted to return to their stations anyway, but there was a time difference, so they would go together, and by the way, they would conduct an exercise to test the combat capability of the troops, and just use the terrain and landforms along the way to simulate some post-war cities, villages, and so on, and conduct a large-scale and comprehensive actual combat exercise.

Before departure, the grapevine has already spread that this time the red side will be joined by a mysterious force, which is said to be known as the "troop whetstone", which specializes in picking on the opponent's weak points and striking at them, often beating the opponent without fighting back. Either turn the opponent's tricks, or directly kill the opponent's command center and paralyze the command system. The purpose of this is to test the combat results of the various exercise units, temper their combat skills, and continuously enhance the combat effectiveness of our army.

Han Song's brigade served as the first part of the left flank of the red side, responsible for the security of the left flank of the group army. The military headquarters will send a reconnaissance unit to be responsible for the intelligence collection of the forward positions of the red side, and the reconnaissance battalion directly under the army will be responsible for it, and the rest of the troops will advance normally in accordance with the orders and the order of operations. According to the sequence of operations, the first battalion became the vanguard battalion of the brigade and had to set off for operations in advance, arrive at a predetermined area 300 kilometers away from the training base, prepare for the battlefield, and delay the actions of the blue side when necessary.

As a recruit who participated in the exercise for the first time, it is false to say that he is not excited, looking at the cart full of bullets, grenades, 120 fires and other weapons, the fanaticism in his eyes cannot be hidden, and his blood is boiling. Although this ammunition is an empty cartridge and can't kill anyone, it is also a bullet, and everyone comes standard with five magazines that are fully loaded, plus four grenades, and there are special ammunition trucks to support them in the back, not to mention new unedged bayonets, anti-aircraft shells for machine gun batteries, mortar shells, and armored vehicles that have not arrived. Before departure, the whole venue was already filled with the atmosphere of battle.

"Comrades, due to time problems, in this exercise, the brigade no longer conducts a unified combat mobilization, which is arranged by the battalions themselves. Then I will briefly say that the mission of this exercise can be said to be very sudden, but it is also very practical, and we cannot stop fighting because the mission is sudden. The future battle will only develop towards suddenness and complexity, maybe one second we are on vacation, and the next second combat mobilization will come. Maybe we are enjoying the good life, and the command of the collection comes. We are soldiers, and soldiers must defend their homes and defend the country and expel foreign criminals! Many of us will be injured or even killed. However, you must remember that soldiers cannot be without souls! ”

"Although you will not see the rain of bullets and flesh for the time being, you still cannot take it lightly. Don't think that a small empty bag bomb is playing at home, from ancient times to the present, military exercises have endured! In peacetime, you will maintain long-term combat effectiveness, and when real war comes, you will not be afraid! ”

"Remember, you are the backbone of the people and the backbone of the country! Remember, soldiers can be wiped out, but they can't be defeated! Do you have faith? ”

"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! "Three roars pierced the sky, representing the will to win, the belief in victory!

This roar represents the high spirit and unyielding soul of the warriors!

"Let's go!" At the sound of an order, the 122 transport vehicle puffed smoke, carrying heavily armed soldiers and carrying all the supplies, and headed towards the predetermined assembly area.

The march was long, and although everyone's interest was high, they could not always tighten the strings, and they still had to rest. No, a few people in the second row chatted.

"If the whole army does this, will it also include winter training?" Wang Cong, who was sitting in the back of the car, held his 120 bazooka, looked at the roadside scenery that was rapidly retreating outside, and guessed there.

"You think beautifully, and you count it as if you nest in the courtyard in winter. And what are we going to do, is it okay to train with you? Zhang Yang on the other side disagreed with Wang Cong's opinion.

"Wang Cong, don't dream, it's really all for you, are you waiting for the discharge after you go back? Save it. And I heard that the squad leader helped you hand in your application for transfer to a non-commissioned officer. Fang Xuebing didn't forget to tease him.

"Don't don't, don't be, with Han Song and Yin Bin, I don't want to be transferred to the non-commissioned officer and be hit, besides, how exciting the outside world is, I still have to play." Wang Cong hurriedly said.

I used to hear him say that if he wanted to stay in the army for another three years, he would have to torture himself to madness. Now I heard Fang Xuebing say that Huo Lianjie might have called him to apply for a transfer officer, and he was a little anxious and couldn't find the north.

"Wang Cong, what's wrong with the army, I don't have to worry about work, how easy it is, I really want to stay." The man who said this was a veteran of the fifth squad, with a strong physique, and a pull-up broke the brigade record.

"Isn't there anything brilliant about us, staying here for fear of missing national events, which is like you, with good grades." Wang Cong said with a smile, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Just you? Also a national event? It's too hard to eat and work slowly to pull you to the cooking class to light the fire, so it's better to light you up. A non-commissioned officer in the fourth squad teased, causing laughter from all around.

"Squad leader, what you said, it's a pity that my fat body burns the fire."

"Okay, don't say it, the order is down." The platoon commander interrupted and laughed, and turned up the volume of the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Attention units, suspicious targets were found a hundred kilometers ahead, and the higher authorities ordered us to prepare for battle. The transport vehicle will transport us to a distance of five kilometers from the suspicious point, and everyone will get out of the vehicle and carry their weapons and equipment and run to the predetermined area. Please reply when you receive it! ”

"Received in a row!"

"Second consecutive receipt!"

"Triple received!"

"Machine gun company received!"

"Artillery company received!"

When the order was read, the walkie-talkie fell silent. Wang Kai muttered: "Speaking of which, at the beginning, there will be an armed five-kilometer dismount, to put it bluntly, he is still practicing physical fitness, why is he so serious." ”

The veteran next to him patted him and criticized him angrily: "Don't say a few words, no one treats you as a dumb person." ”

The platoon commander also glared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, check the weapons and equipment." Be quiet from now on and do everything you want, understand! ”

"Understood!" A group of people in the car replied and began to scrutinize their belongings. Halfway through the journey, the Vanguard Reconnaissance Force should have met the Red side and issued a warning. As a part of the left flank, his side will almost have to protect the flanks of the red side.

However, things can not be so simple to start and end, if the troops of both sides are fighting separately, it will become a positional war, and the exercise will be meaningless. The battle plan must be changed at the top, interception in a roundabout way, interspersed with outflanking, and even infiltration of overseas Chinese clothing may occur, there is no most complicated, only more complicated.

"Check the weapons and ammunition, don't open the insurance first, you have to run five kilometers." Fang Xuebing stopped Yin Bin's hand from opening the insurance in time, confirmed that the insurance had not been opened, and glanced at him.

"Raise your spirits, get out of the car in a while, Han Song, Zhang Yang, Liu Tian and a squad leader will set off first to do a good job of reconnaissance, you are fast, you can collect advance information for the company." The platoon commander listened to the meeting on the walkie-talkie and conveyed the instructor's orders. The company commander has been transferred, the new company commander has not yet come down, and the instructor is temporarily responsible for the military work in the company.

"Roger!" Four people received an order to reconfirm the armament. Now there is no sound in the car except the hum of the engine and the occasional sound of turning supplies, and everyone is leaning against the board of the car and squinting, or leaning against each other to rest, for a five-kilometer run.

About an hour later, with a sudden brake, the whole car woke up from the fake sleep and looked at the platoon commander who was holding the earpiece.

"Get off! Assemble the whole team! The platoon commander, who put down the earpiece, immediately ordered.

After a loud noise, the whole car got out of the car at the fastest speed, Han Song, Zhang Yang, and Liu Tian ran forward to join the squad leader, and directly broke away from the large army, and quickly ran towards the destination, putting the walkie-talkie given by the correspondent into his pocket while running.

"This is the first time this year, and I don't have any score in my heart." The leader of the squad on the run was out of breath and his face was relaxed.

Liu Tian looked at the surrounding environment while running, "We're still in the mountains, I'm wondering, if we sent scouts, will the red side also send scouts." ”

The other three all said that they were not sure, the current mode of war is very different from before, like this kind of reconnaissance mission, many times it has been completed by satellites and drones, and they can know what the other party is doing from a distance of hundreds of miles, so how can they send people to reconnoitre.

"Have we forgotten something?" Zhang Yang grabbed a branch and stuck it in his clothes.

"Or you are calm, our IQ fell off the chain at a critical moment, and in a hurry, we forgot to disguise!" The four of them hurriedly stopped running, disguised themselves in the shortest possible time, and then stopped running in the middle of the road, and ran along the roadside embankment.

"A squad leader! A squad leader! Please reply when you hear it! ”

"Roger! Please! ”

"The latest intelligence, there is information warfare on the red side, psychological warfare troops have joined, and the higher authorities have ordered us to stay in place for the time being, and the personnel who have been sent will not be withdrawn for the time being, and continue to operate. So your next move may be detected by the Red side, and then we have to take radio silence, you will not be able to contact us for a while, you should be careful, if the situation is not right, retreat immediately! Before 24 o'clock tonight, no matter what the situation, you must go to the meeting area to meet! ”

"Roger!" After the first squad leader finished speaking, he immediately turned off the power of the walkie-talkie and put it away.

"Information warfare? Interesting, could it be that the unit also went to war? Liu Tian touched his chin and asked with interest.

"It is possible, modern warfare is not information warfare, but what the hell is this psychological warfare unit, and what is their role?"

"Psychological warfare has been systematically appearing since World War II, and the most typical example of warfare is the practice of the US military in the Gulf War, and now it is also frequently used in various non-military fields in society. Zhang Yang explained.

"It's not going to shout at us with a loudspeaker, saying we're surrounded and surrendering right away." The first squad leader said with some wicked amusement.

"Strictly speaking, this is also a kind of psychological warfare, for example, the embattled story is a kind of psychological warfare, and I think that the red side is very likely to infiltrate and spread rumors or something."

"There are quite a lot of twists and turns on the red side, hey, what do you think we should also use psychological warfare to engage in some negative propaganda or something, in case the other party's boss is annoyed and goes wrong, let us win by surprise, we will show our faces." The first squad leader is whimsical.

"The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, your idea is theoretically feasible, but in fact it will not be 100% successful, our acting is not all kinds of dramas, you can infiltrate and succeed casually. Either side's headquarters defense is the most tight, and with the four of us, trying to disrupt the red side's plan with just one mouth is no different from pie in the sky. Zhang Yang unceremoniously pointed out the unreality of the idea of a squad leader.

"Don't take it seriously, I'm just saying, after talking about it, mediate the atmosphere, what should we do next?" The first squad leader also knew that he was a little out of tune, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Keep going, but we can't take the big road, Red is likely to find us through some technical means, we have to slow down, we can wait until it gets dark and then pick up the speed." Liu Tian put forward his own suggestions.

"Dark? It's only four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still a long time before it gets dark, and if a new order comes down, whether it's a quick forward or a shift in position, our mission will be meaningless. The first squad leader disagreed.

"Since the command has told us that the other side has information warfare troops participating in the battle, then we are a bit leaky during the day, unless it is deliberately used to confuse the enemy and have a whole set of other plans, the large troops can only rest in place, so they are not much faster than us." Zhang Yang analyzed.

"I think it makes sense, but we can't stop, although it is not so quick to converge the large forces in the assembly area, but it is very likely that a company will reach the combat area first, let's slowly infiltrate all the way, maybe we can provide them with some information." Han Song listened to them and put forward his own suggestions.

"Well, I'll see it, do a good job of camouflage, don't take the main road, let's walk from the mountains and slowly infiltrate the past, in case we can really reconnoiter useful information." Zhang Yang also agreed with Han Song's view.

The four of them discussed it and decided to immediately do a good job of camouflage, and then pick a place with many trees and grass in the mountains, and slowly walk to the destination, making observation records on the way to facilitate later use.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, on a small mountainside, Han Song suddenly felt a flash of light in front of him, and hurriedly grabbed a few people, lying in a very inconspicuous place, and looked around carefully.
