Looking at the mobile direction of the fifth battalion, Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the 169th Brigade, also stood at the door of the temporary headquarters of the brigade headquarters at some point, looking into the distance leisurely.

He said with a smile: "It's okay now, there is no arrangement for our brigade to fight frontally, but the fifth battalion will fight by itself, I hope that the big attack of the blue army tonight will not be touched by them."

"If you do, the Blues' synthesizers aren't just a joke."

"He's not that stupid." Wang Junwei, who was relieved, gradually realized that something was wrong, and after this period of understanding, he knew very well Chen Ming's temperament and had a strong purpose in doing things.

Belongs to the Lord who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

It is almost impossible for a commander like him to fight the front with a weak battle, this is ironclad to take the blue army's defense map and plan to go around the back to eat, pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

This arrangement is not difficult to guess, but ordinary people can't do this, the risk is too great, and when the morale of both sides is high, how can they go around the rear to fight?

At the beginning of the war, it is often the units with the highest level of defense, and it is difficult to have a chance.

"Forget it, let them toss on their own." After Wang Junwei roughly figured out the movements of the fifth battalion.

Turning around and returning to the conference room, what Chen Ming did, he didn't worry, or it was useless to worry.

The Blues' attack tonight must be pouring out most of the front-line firepower, and whether their side can resist it is still two words.

He simply stared at the defense map on the desktop and began to discuss the next battle.

The large-scale military training is about to begin, and the command of the military region will soon gather the number one of their brigade headquarters in the command room to discuss the overall planning of operations and deal with the offensive of the blue army.

Before that, the first thing Wang Junwei had to do was to ensure that the units of the 169th Brigade could resist the frantic attack of the Blue Army tonight.

Even if they are not on the front line, no one is sure that the Blue Army will not come, and the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region has four elite main divisions, and southern Xinjiang accounts for two.

How strong their combat effectiveness is, Wang Junwei can't guarantee the ticket, but the environment here is really bad, since ancient times, the more difficult the survival area, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops that appear.

Coupled with the fact that they had traveled long distances and were not adapted to the highland environment, they had no reason why the Blues would not attack.

The brigade headquarters is deliberating, and the 5th Battalion is also studying.

Inside the battalion command vehicle.

Chen Ming, Du Longfei, and Zhang Jintao surrounded the defense map and praised it.

The strength of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region should not be underestimated, although it is only a military region under the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region, but it also manages six military subdivisions, but 100 kilometers in front of them is stationed a well-known and fully equipped synthetic division, the Tianshan Iron Cavalry.

Chen Ming pointed to the Blue Army garrison and said with a smile: "Battalion commander, instructor, we must avoid the frontal battlefield, this is not a place where we can play."

"There are five regiments under the Tianshan Iron Cavalry, three composite regiments, one fire regiment, one support and support regiment, and nine synthetic battalion sequences."

"We don't have a chance of winning against any of them."

"In order to ensure the maximum firepower and mobility of the Blue Army, it has also arranged a mountain composite brigade to be stationed, according to the establishment of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, this mountain composite brigade should be the combat unit after the reorganization of the previous Baiyun Mountain Regiment, right?"

"That's right." Du Longfei's eyes flickered and nodded, "It's the former Baiyun Mountain Regiment, which is a combat unit that focuses on maneuvering speed." ”

"The equipment is completely different from that of our 71st Army, their infantry battalion is mainly combat-oriented, equipped with Bobcat assault vehicles and warrior protection assault vehicles."

"In this kind of mountainous and rugged place, it has a greater advantage than our wheeled armor, once it is locked by a combat unit like them, no matter how prepared we are, we can't get rid of the infantry battalion of the Baiyun Mountain Regiment."

"Then get around them and avoid a head-on collision." Chen Ming smiled disappreciatively.

When it comes to other people's territory, the weapon configuration of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region is definitely more suitable for the combat environment here, and the light composite battalion, or a medium-sized synthetic battalion like the fifth battalion, is considered good.

Once the position is shifted, it will be beaten by the Blues like a kite, and the heavy synthetic troops can be played to death.

After all, the area here is too big, and the reloading and movement outweigh the losses, and they can't defeat the host, so they can only passively resist the attack.

Chen Ming pondered for a moment, marked a position on the screen of the visual command terminal against the standard defense map, and shouted to the radio commander: "Helicopter squadron, stop moving forward and go to the marking point to assemble."

"Tonight's battle, you are temporarily separated from the five battalions, and there is no order that you don't need to participate in the battle."

"Other companies, pay attention to the speed of advance, carry out a comprehensive cooling treatment of the combat vehicle every twenty kilometers, overhaul, and maintain the combat vehicle to ensure normalcy."

"There are less than seven hours before the start of the large-scale training, and we are more than 60 kilometers away from the target point.

"Helicopter squadron received."

"Armored infantry company received."

"Tank company received."

~~~~

With one response after another, the helicopter squadron turned around and went to other directions to stand by according to Chen Ming's instructions.

When attacking at night, the helicopter squadron is too easy to expose its position, and from a long distance, the buzzing sound will be directly locked by the air defense warning of the Blue Army.

Put it in other positions, in case the 5th Battalion is chased by other fire units, it will also be a rescue force if necessary.

Soon, Chen Ming and the others arrived at the preset position, and the altitude of the place where they were located was not very high, only about 12300 meters.

The physical strength of the fighters will not be too much of a problem with this degree of altitude adaptation, and the instructors of each company, together with the squad leaders and hygienists, will make a simple check on all the personnel to ensure that there are no problems, eat a little dry food, and the whole battalion will begin to rest.

Other units are busy structuring the headquarters, projecting anti-jamming machines, and arranging a large number of early warnings to prepare for the big battle at night.

On the other hand, the tanks of the fifth battalion were all extinguished, they were not in the battle sequence, and there was no place for them on the defense map.

In the early days of the war, the Blues would not have conducted a large-scale survey of the area of engagement, and they were fairly safe.

It was simply a matter of arranging for the sentry post to be on duty and waiting for the large-scale training to begin.

Seeing all the personnel of the staff department resting in the temporary tent, Chen Ming did not feel the slightest sleepiness, got out of the command car, and paced in this unfamiliar area.

Looking up at the sky in southern Xinjiang, the sky here is bluer than other regions, and the scenery is more pleasant, but Chen Ming is helpless for a while, it is already more than eight o'clock in the evening, less than four hours before the start of the war.

It wasn't even dark yet.

The moon hung high in the sky, and it seemed that it was not far from the sun, and this kind of spectacle made Chen Ming a little stunned for a while.

Rustle.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the battalion commander Du Longfei held two bottles of mineral water in his hand and threw a bottle to Chen Ming, and sat next to him by the way, looking at the sky and laughing: "Why old Chen, it's the first time you come to southern Xinjiang?"

"yes, it's the first time." Chen Ming nodded in response.

"Hehe, then you have to appreciate it." Du Longfei unscrewed the cap of the bottle, took a few sips and said, "I haven't been here either, but I've heard a lot of legends here before."

"For example, the Snow Girl, the legend of the Snow Girl in the Snow Mountain, do you know?"

"You still have a mind for legends." Before Chen Ming could say anything, instructor Zhang Jintao also came from behind and sat on the ground.

The three commanders of the fifth battalion smiled at each other, and there were worries and yearning in the depths of their eyes.

Worried about tonight's battle, I hope that I can fight a beautiful turnaround battle at night, so that they can make a name for themselves in this large-scale military training.

No matter how carefully Chen Ming's plan is, after all, this is a war, not an outing, and no one knows what the battle will be like tonight.

If there is no defense map of the Blue Army, at least some of the mystery can be maintained, and the pressure is not so great, and now I know that dozens of kilometers away, the large army of the Blue Army is stationed there, the calmer it is, the more nervous I feel.

The three chatted for a while, and Du Longfei raised his hand to look at the time, and advised: "There are less than three hours left, and the large-scale military training will begin."

"I'll go to the companies to inspect and see if the camouflage of the chariot is in place, and the heat source must be cut off, otherwise the war will just start, in case a large number of reconnaissance planes of the Blue Army pass by here, we will really take the initiative to send fat to people's mouths."

"Lao Chen, you should also go and rest, you will be the leader of tonight's battle, once the large-scale military training begins, it will be difficult for us to have such a leisurely rest."

Chen Ming nodded, did not respond, his eyes looked at the night sky that had begun to slowly darken, and the tension just now slowly dissipated.

Their position is too close to the Blue Army, only a few tens of kilometers, this distance, once the Blue Army has a whim, before the big training to arrange armed reconnaissance planes to patrol, even if they do a good job of camouflage.

Shut down all electronics, cut off all heat sources, and there is no guarantee that they will not be detected, and once locked, they must be moved.

The dark night is sometimes the best protection.

Judging from the position on the defense map, they are definitely in a position where they can avoid heavy firepower confrontations, but who can say for sure that there is such a thing as a war?

Who can guarantee that the Blues will not suddenly clear a vacuum area here at the junction of red and blue?

Fortunately, the other party didn't do that.

Chen Ming got up and returned to the command car, leaning on the back of the chair and forcing himself to sleep.

That night, at 23:55, more than a dozen bombers at high altitude passed by the headspace of the Fifth Battalion with the sound of whistling.

The rumbling sound wave came from far and near, waking up many soldiers who were still sleeping, including Chen Ming, who was resting with his eyes closed, was also awakened by the sound and quickly came to the command car.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The sound of bombing was faintly heard in the distance, and this was the early stage of the large-scale military training, and the military region specially arranged for bombers to drop live ammunition on the outermost no-man's land of the training, so as to simulate the real combat environment.

At the same time, the public radio stations of the red and blue sides sent a notice from the director's department, and the countdown to the large-scale military training officially began.

As soon as the radio broadcast was announced, dozens of kilometers away, the large force of the Blue Army began to move, and hundreds of Type 15 light main battle tanks rushed out.

It was followed by hundreds of 04A infantry combat vehicles equipped with 100mm guns, as well as more than a dozen 20-barrel rocket launchers and Red Arrow-10 anti-tank missiles.

Behind them were hundreds of Bobcat assault vehicles, quietly gathering under the cover of night.

Each vehicle could be loaded with hundreds of kilograms of supplies, or combat infantry, ready to move forward and press into the Red Army theater of operations.

The black-pressed chariot cluster, separated by dozens of kilometers, Chen Ming seemed to be able to feel the vibration of the ground.

His eyes stared at the position of the Blue Army's defense, and a faint sense of oppression followed the beginning of the large-scale training.

All pressed down.

The soldiers of the fifth battalion began to gather tacitly, and there was no sound at the scene.

They waited a little longer, waited for the Blues to attack, and then it was time for them to strike.
