"All platoons, all squads assemble, quickly point out the personnel, go to the ammunition supply vehicle to replenish ammunition, and each company commander arranges sentry posts."

"It's fast."

Outside the carriage, someone slapped the tin sheet and shouted loudly.

The moment Xi Minghui braked, he tensed all over his body, urging together with the outside.

It made everyone in the carriage nervous.

Chen Ming packed up his bags, raised his hand and lifted the curtain covering the back of the car, and a cold wind poured out, making the soldiers who were packing up shiver, and the whole person was a lot more sober.

This is the area where we are stationed this time?

Chen Ming propped up the car board with his hands, jumped out of the car lightly, carried his bags on his shoulders, and looked around.

After arriving at the location, there is no such mighty convoy as a long dragon galloping on the road, it seems a little depressed, and the terrain of the location is more like a basin, surrounded by mountains, and the middle terrain is low.

In the distance, there were already soldiers carrying large electronic anti-jamming planes ready to launch into the air, and radar detection vehicles were also walking nearby.

There was also a group of warriors busy driving stakes, apparently preparing to set up tents.

Chen Ming was looking around, suddenly felt a little moistness on his eyelids, looked up at the sky, and didn't know when the sky began to float fine snowflakes.

The ground is not yet white, depending on the situation.

Xi Minghui saw Chen Ming in a daze, jumped down from the carriage and reached out to pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry young man, it's normal to be a little nervous about the first battle preparation, just go through it a few times."

"You will follow the squad deputy for this combat preparation, what he does, what you do, gather first."

"Yes, squad leader." The corners of Chen Ming's mouth were tilted upward, revealing a hint of indifferent smile.

Where was he afraid, on the way for the past two days, he listened to the squad leader tell him how frequent and dangerous the previous battles were.

In particular, when I heard that some soldiers had been beaten in a hurry and drilled under the tank with a bundle of grenades, I was shocked that all the two sides of the war at that time ordered a two-hour truce to rectify.

That kind of battle scene is an experience that the training ground can't give, Chen Ming is not afraid, but faintly has some expectations, otherwise, why practice hard all day?

"Assemble, assemble in a row and two shifts."

Xi Minghui's shout interrupted Chen Ming's thoughts, and the nine people in the second class lined up quickly.

"Arrange for today's work."

"Qin Chao, Wang Baoding, Fu Mingming, Liu Dazhuang, the four of you go to check the gun truck, cooperate with the comrades of the fifth class to load the ammunition with the crane, and make all the preparations."

"Yes."

"Lao Feng, take Chen Ming and Shuai Bing to connect with the company commander to connect with the area where our second shift will be on duty tonight."

"For the rest, follow me to pitch a tent."

After Xi Minghui finished explaining, his expression began to become serious, he pondered for a moment, and did not announce the disbandment, but waved his hand and shouted: "All of them, stand upright, take a break."

"Comrades, this time the opponent is the 73rd Army, in the annual New Year's war preparations, and we have met with 71 more than once, it is our old opponent, there was no division to change to brigade before, when we were still an artillery division, we often encountered night raids."

"You should have all heard that the name of the 73rd Army has always been described as a brave and invincible iron division, and the special operations brigade on their side has a very strong combat effectiveness."

"With the acceleration of the development of military science and technology and the acceleration of the deployment of troops, the threat of special forces on the battlefield is no longer as high as that of seven or eight years ago."

"If they run into a synthetic battalion, they don't have the ability to fight back at all, but for us, they are still a great threat, because we don't have a fully coordinated combat vehicle to maneuver, let alone a joint combat terminal that integrates attack, defense and measurement, and we can't detect the enemy's traces from a few kilometers away."

"Special operations pay attention to efficiency, everyone must cheer me up tonight, and we must not let others step on us as soft persimmons."

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes, squad leader." Everyone in the second class responded in unison.

"Disband, get the preparations in place as soon as possible."

Watching Xi Minghui take the two veterans to set up a tent, and then looking at Qin Chao, the four of them quickly ran to the side and began to prepare for the loading work.

At this point in the meeting, there were heavily armed and nervous soldiers everywhere, and the on-site command center in the distance had even set up a command platform.

On a command vehicle next to it, several microcomputers connected with satellites began to monitor the whole process in the vicinity, and there were busy figures everywhere, and there were snowflakes in the sky.

A crane transports rockets several meters long for reloading.

Is this how modern troops responded to the war before the war began?

Chen Ming muttered secretly, it was indeed the first time he had come to this kind of occasion, which was not the same as what he imagined, and it was not the same as what he saw in the film and television.

"Let's go, we'll be assigned peripheral work by the class, and we'll get the guns first." Feng Xiaodong, the deputy of the squad, greeted and took the two of them towards the mobile ammunition truck.

After receiving his gun, Chen Ming pulled the bolt to fill it with bullets, and according to Feng Xiaodong's request, he carried another pair of bazookas.

On the way to the command platform, Chen Ming couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Deputy squad, I remember that there was no time for the start of the war at the time of the large-scale military training?"

"It was said that it started at noon, and when the time came, we all heard the sound of artillery in the distance, why didn't it start suddenly this time without a specified time?"

"How can it be sudden?" Feng Xiaodong said with a smile: "You don't understand the difference between the large-scale military training and the New Year's combat preparations, the purpose of the military training is to hone the combat ability, not to temper the units in the face of unexpected situations, before the large-scale military training, the war game deduction simulates the entire battlefield combat situation, and the rest is to fight according to it."

"New Year's combat readiness is the real war, and we will be attacked anytime and anywhere, and our artillery does not have the ability to take the initiative to provoke, so we can only passively meet the battle."

"Anyway, let's be smart tonight, we are the day before yesterday's mobilization signal for combat readiness, and this afternoon the 73rd Army should be sounded, if it is sounded at the same time, it is no exaggeration to say that on the way over, we will suffer a comprehensive attack from the enemy, or even annihilate the whole army."

"So ruthless?" Chen Ming was slightly shocked.

"Hehe, it's not a question of being ruthless or not, it's that people don't need to move long distances, they can quickly enter the battle, and we will be caught off guard if we are attacked during the move.

"It shouldn't be easy tonight, in the war, the other side will definitely find ways to destroy the artillery first, the front line is ready for defense and a full-scale strike, but who knows what methods these special forces will use to infiltrate in."

"What's more, the special operations brigade of the 73rd Army is already powerful, even the commander has praised it more than once, and he has suffered from them before, that group of people is too powerful, and the battlefield is like a fish in water for them, and it is impossible to prevent it."

"Oh" Chen Ming nodded, and didn't continue to ask, as for what special forces sneak attack, he had already thought of it.

This is all a small scene, if the enemy reconnaissance personnel find out the true coordinates of the Yuanhuo battalion, it is not only the special forces, the artillery, air force, and even the navy at sea will gather enough strength to fight here.

No one would tolerate a group of artillery trucks that could fight hundreds of kilometers and suppress the battlefield from the rear.

Chen Ming followed Feng Xiaodong to the command platform and got a patrol map of the patrol and sentry from the company commander Chu Xiongqiao.

In the early days of the war, both sides of the war were only tentative attacks, and neither of them knew the specific coordinates and locations of the other side's units, so the artillery was useless.

Avoid being sneak attacked.

Chen Ming's second class was assigned to an open field three kilometers outside the station, where there was nothing around but a few large banyan trees.

There are three people in a shift at a time, and everyone else in the second shift is busy, so the task of duty does not fall on them.

It was the first time for Chen Ming to participate in the sentry.

found a hidden place, quietly shrank in a sheltered position, stared at the distance and observed, silently thinking about whether someone would really come to attack tonight as the squad leader said.

At this time, it was already evening, the sun was about to fall, and there were snowflakes in the sky, but a few fiery clouds appeared in the sky and floated quietly in the air.

Looking up from the ground, it seems that half of the sky is burning, red and red, and the strange atmosphere makes people feel dull.

Even Wang Shuaibing, who is usually a talker, shrank not far away, pursed his lips and remained silent, and followed Chen Ming on duty.

The twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, dusk.

At the General Headquarters of the 71st Army, Commander Luo Wentong and Chief of Staff Feng Chunyang sat at the front of the conference table of the headquarters.

The leaders of the other combat units, uniformly on both sides, silently looked up at the projection screen in the conference room, and it could be seen from the projected electronic map that the combat units had arrived at the specified positions.

Commander Luo Wentong picked up a small infrared spotlight from the conference table, turned on it and accurately projected it to the artillery brigade, where the second battalion of the Yuanhuo was stationed, and said: "Old Tang, wait for the end of the meeting and notify the second battalion to strengthen its vigilance."

"It won't be calm tonight, our location is the territory of the 73rd Army, and their familiarity with the surrounding cities is far greater than that of our troops who have crossed thousands of kilometers."

"Just through the map, I believe they have the ability to judge the approximate directions, and they will definitely come over tonight to investigate, and once they find anything suspicious, they will be cleared immediately, and they will not be tolerated."

"Army Aviation Brigade, arrange a helicopter squadron to be on standby nearby, and cooperate with the 2nd Yuanhuo Battalion to defend."

"Synthetic Second Brigade, arrange a light synthetic battalion, be sure to be in place tonight, set up a defensive line on the periphery of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, and also cooperate with the defense."

"I have only one goal, to give me a hard blow to the arrogance of the 73rd Army, these old boys, before the war started, clamored for labor and management to break a leg first, I see how he will break it for me."

Luo Wentong said, slammed the conference table with a "snap", and said fiercely.

"In short, tonight, we will go all out to prepare for the battle, face the battle, and seventy-three is not the first time we have fought, we all know how ruthless these wolf cubs are, they have noses more intelligent than dogs, fangs more fierce than wolves, the second battalion of Yuanhuo is the shortcoming of our whole army, and it is also the firepower output guarantee of our whole army, and there must not be the slightest difference."

"Did you hear that?"

"Roger!!"

More than a dozen senior officers on both sides of the conference table stood up neatly and responded in unison.
