Rumble.

As the large-scale military training began, there was movement in the distance again.

The piercing sound came from far and near, pulling out hundreds of meters of light in the dark night sky, rumbling, the sound was like a drum, like a thunderstorm.

Soon it was over the fifth battalion.

The sudden change made the soldiers who were gathering on the ground lie down in the camouflaged trenches, and the military uniforms issued have the effect of heat insulation, so they don't have to worry too much about being discovered.

One, two, ten, and twenty Chen Ming silently counted his voices, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, the blue army was quite cautious.

At this juncture, we don't forget to take stock of the surrounding area.

Fortunately, they had already made up their minds to go around, and they did not dare to step into the Blue Army area in advance, and camouflage the chariots in all directions early in the morning, turn off the fire, cut off all communication equipment, and wait for the army to set off before they acted.

Otherwise, with this density of reconnaissance, the slightest negligence will expose the whole battalion.

The rumbling doesn't stop.

More than a thousand fighters lay on their stomachs on low ground, their hands clasped tightly on the ground, motionless, waiting for an opportunity.

The reconnaissance planes in the air flew at a low altitude and were stunned for more than half an hour before their frequency began to slowly decrease.

But no one relaxed their vigilance, because the reconnaissance was only the vanguard unit, and reducing the frequency could only indicate that the large forces of the Blue Army began to make purposeful sorties.

Sure enough, on the horizon seven or eight kilometers away in the distance, hundreds of combat vehicles were moving slowly, which was a joint dispatch of the Blue Army's synthetic division and the mountain synthetic brigade.

The dense, black-pressed chariot cluster, separated by more than ten miles, was already able to make the five battalions aware of it, lying on the ground, faintly feeling the restlessness of the ground.

On the side of the 71st Army, it was also not to be outdone, and the large forces continued to assemble and move towards the red and blue junction line, and the Eastern Theater was the one with the largest number of heavy composite brigades.

And Chen Ming's battlefield is only one of the sections of this large-scale military training area, the 2nd Brigade, the 35th Brigade, the 178th Brigade, the 235th Brigade, the 71st Artillery Brigade, and the 71st Army Aviation Brigade.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

Boom, boom, the sound of artillery fire seemed to break a hole in the sky.

The flames in the distance soared into the sky, almost affecting the side of the fifth battalion.

With such a big movement, concealment or concealment is no longer effective, even if the cannon is fired here, no one will pay attention to them at this time.

All eyes are on the frontal battlefield.

Du Longfei got out from under the chariot, looked at the fierce battle in the distance, his pupils shrank sharply, and scolded: "His grandmother's bunnies are really ruthless."

"As the host, it's not good to hide in the turtle shell and shrink, how many troops have been dispatched?"

"Lao Chen, are you leaving?"

Chen Ming got up and patted the hay on his pants, turned his head to look at the firelight in the distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He guessed that the Blue Army would attack tonight, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce, and the movement just now would have hundreds of chariots in clusters to participate in the battle, which could directly lead to more than 20,000 people on the frontal battlefield being involved in the battle.

He thought that this place was far enough away to be affected, but he didn't expect that because the Blue Army had too many people, the battle line was lengthened vertically, and the main battlefield was almost led here.

"There's no hurry." Chen Ming shook his head and said: "Battalion commander, you first arrange for each company to have a meal, don't be afraid of the loss of dry food you bring, eat hard, and eat enough."

"Now the front has just started, and many combat preparations in the rear have not yet been dispatched, and material transportation has not been invested."

"It's not the right time to go around, and we will act when they have casualties, the battle has entered a stalemate, and it is difficult to withdraw."

"Yes, it's always right to be cautious." Du Longfei agreed with Chen Ming's idea, it was really not appropriate to dispatch at this time, the combat units of the fifth battalion were still too weak compared to the Blue Army.

The front is fighting, and the rear units are paying full attention, and when they encounter people who sneak around the rear, they don't rush out desperately to fight.

For the Fifth Battalion, the gains outweigh the losses.

Chen Ming got into the command car alone with a box of self-heating pots, took out the blue army defense map and began to observe.

At present, more than 50 minutes have passed since the start of the large-scale military training, and the distance is calculated according to the number of troops they can deploy.

For such a long time, the dispatch must have arrived on the battlefield, leaving those cats in the nest to guard the house, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have other actions in a short time.

In the mountain assault brigade, Chen Ming aimed at one of the stations on the deployment map, and the deployment map was not detailed, and it was not carefully divided into companies to be stationed, and they were all estimated.

The synthesizer can't afford to mess with it, not even a synthesizer regiment, and God knows how many combat troops they still have left in the garrison.

The mountain assault brigade is similar to a light synthetic battalion, except that they are faster and mainly infantry battalions.

Chen Ming took out a pen and marked the location of the Mountain Assault Brigade, turned his head and shouted, "Kong Wu."

"Here."

"Go, take this map and go to the security company Chen Yuandong and Chen Company Commander, and ask him to arrange someone to reconnoiter this area."

"Don't rush in, if you don't feel right, retreat immediately, give him an hour to come and report."

"Yes."

An hour later.

Chen Yuandong, commander of the support company, came back with the map, got into the command car and spread the map on the platform.

"Staff Officer Chen, this is the result of the reconnaissance, it is all drawn on the map, the battalions of the Mountain Assault Brigade are too close, and they are less than three kilometers apart."

"Wouldn't it be too risky to hit them?"

"Don't worry." Chen Ming put down the work in his hand and took out the marked map, and sure enough, the marked location of the mountain assault brigade, through reconnaissance, the stations of their battalions were almost in a combined formation.

The battalions surrounded the brigade headquarters.

This is obviously not for the sake of fighting long-term attrition, but for the sake of being able to quickly assemble combat units in response to tonight's big battle.

The mountain assault brigades in the Western Theater are indeed not easy to mess with, and they are collectively realizing the special operation of infantry, and the biggest characteristic of their speed of maneuver and the role of their equipment is that they "light up the target."

Provide reliable intelligence support for rear attacks and long-range attacks, once this kind of combat unit is provoked, it is very likely to stick to the body like a dogskin plaster, and it can't be shaken off.

However, this does not mean that their combat capability is weak, and every squad and individual soldier of the mountain brigade has the ability to independently guide the informationization of air strikes, and this is what is prepared for Ah San.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ming himself wanted to try the power first.

But there is no way, there is a Tianshan Iron Cavalry Synthesizer and a Mountain Brigade on the deployment map, choose one of the two, and no one will choose a synthesizer.

That guy doesn't have the strength of a brigade, who would dare to provoke rashly.

It's okay to fight mountain brigades, but you can't fight rashly.

After Chen Ming figured out the general situation of their station, he waved his hand and ordered: "Go, notify the whole battalion of combat vehicles to start and check the situation of the vehicles."

"Departing in ten minutes."

"Do you really want to fight the Mountain Assault Brigade?" Chen Yuandong looked at Chen Ming dumbfounded, a little dazed.

From a combat point of view, the Mountain Assault Brigade is more difficult to mess with than the Synthesizer, as their role is to mark the enemy's position.

Isn't this the same as rushing to let people mark it?

"What nonsense, if you don't beat him, do you want to fight the synthesizer? Are you a pioneer? Chen Ming scolded angrily, he was also entangled, but just these two, what can be done?

"Then, let's fight the Mountain Assault Brigade." Chen Yuandong stammered and hurriedly ran out to give an order.

Compared to calling a board compositor, the latter is always a little longer safe.

As soon as the battalion's combat vehicles were started, the battalion commander Du Longfei ran over and asked with a solemn expression: "Lao Chen, do you really plan to fight the Blue Army's mountain assault brigade?"

"If you want me to say, just test the water with the unit under the synthesizer, no, we still have a chance to retreat."

"The mountain assault brigade is almost all infantry battalions, and the establishment of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region is different from ours, in case their troops have a large number of combat units, dozens of lynx assault vehicles come out to chase us."

"No matter how fast we move, we can't avoid that thing."

"The Bobcat assault vehicle can climb a steep slope of more than 60 degrees, and it is too easy to chase us."

"That's the mad dog kennel, you can't mess with it."

"Battalion commander, fighting a war is not just about fighting to expose problems, retreating can expose problems even more."

"What's more, I didn't say that the whole battalion would go up to fight." Chen Ming explained confidently: "Fighting a war around the back is not a hard battle."

"In the first round of attack, arrange three tanks, three armored infantry fighting vehicles, and some fast-moving artillery trucks to take the lead."

"Test the reaction of the Blues first, and then see the reaction of other nearby units, whether they can fight or not, and then retreat after alarming them."

"If they fight but don't chase them, it means that the fire in front has been pinned down and they can't give artillery support to the rear at any time, or they don't have enough fighters left behind in their station."

"If you chase them straight in, then find a way to get rid of them, change places and fight again, there is heavy fire pressure in the rear, forgive them and don't dare to chase too hard."

"At present, we can only fight like this to ensure that we are not too passive, and besides, we are not facing the entire mountain assault brigade, but the remaining troops after the army goes out."

Du Longfei sighed, he had to admit that Chen Ming had a point, now it is not a question of who to fight, it is a matter of finding the cooperation of the five battalions first.

To fight, it is impossible to be without risk.

Du Longfei was silent, and Chen Ming took over the command of the whole battalion and began to give orders.

"The whole battalion is ready, and the special investigation team cooperates with the support company to reconnoiter the forward route, and uses modified drones to conduct low-altitude forward reconnaissance."

"Armored infantry company, ground guidance vehicle towards the marked point."

"The rear armor, tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles are protected by three hundred meters on both wings, the artillery company and support company are in the center, and the engineer detachment is temporarily cut off, and the whole battalion sets off."

After Chen Ming finished explaining, according to the location of the Blue Army station that Chen Yuandong had reconnoitred just now, he marked a coordinate on the screen of the visual terminal command system.

In a flash.

The three military raptors responsible for ground guidance roared out, and in the rear, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks pulled out from the flanks to advance in the simplest protective formation.

The troops in front were bombarding and bombarding, but they didn't know that there was a sixth man in the rear who was going to steal his home.

Just now, the fifth battalion was not very far from the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade, only about twenty-five kilometers.

Seeing that more than half an hour had passed, the chariot team of the fifth battalion was less than five kilometers away from the marking point.

The special reconnaissance detachment never reported back to the movements of the enemy troops, and the support company did not detect the enemy's reaction.

Chen Ming gave the order again.

"The whole battalion stopped advancing, the artillery company arranged a mortar platoon, a truck gun platoon, a tank company, an armored company each dispatched a platoon, and the infantry passed a detachment."

"You move on to the forward markers, and remember, as soon as you find the Blues' positions, no matter how they are arranged, as long as you reach the distance of the attack, to the point where the Blues can see your firepower, open fire on me."

"Don't fall in love after a round, return immediately, and wait for the next instruction."

"The support company arranges for a drone squad to follow, provide reconnaissance, support the company, carry out air defense arrangements, artillery company, build artillery positions, and be ready to respond with fire at any time."

"Yes, the artillery battery received."

"Armored infantry company received."

"Tank company received."

~~~~~~

With a response, a small group of mortar platoons, truck gun platoons, tank platoons, armored platoons, and infantry detachments continued to advance.

The fighters of the fifth battalion, sitting in the chariots, clenched their fists tightly, nervously waiting for orders, they did not know what the outcome of this tentative attack would be.

But there is no doubt that a major war is inevitable.

In the command vehicle of the fifth battalion, the company commanders, including the battalion commander, were all staring at the advancing troops on the screen, their lips squirming, but they did not make any sound.

Only Chen Ming, Du Longfei, and Zhang Jintao behaved very naturally, but it was not natural, at this time, anyone could panic, but the three of them could not do it.

This is the area of the Blue Army, and all sides are enemies except for them.

"Five kilometers and four kilometers. Three kilometers. Two kilometers."

According to the positioning screen of the drone, someone silently counted the distance of the advancing unit from the marked point.

Finally, in the drone picture, the fortifications of the Blue Army appeared.

People in the rear could see it, and the artillery platoon and armored platoon fighters of the fifth battalion naturally saw it.

The Blues didn't react at such a close distance, and their mouths were almost grinning under their ears with excitement.

His grandmother's, the turtle calf of the Blue Army, accept the baptism of artillery fire.

After entering the attack range, the small combat force of the fifth battalion began to adjust the muzzle and aimed at the Blue Army station.

At this time, the internal station of the Blue Army's Mountain Assault Brigade was silent.

There were patrols everywhere in the corner, and next to them were military dogs one after another, sticking out their big tongues and staring viciously at the station.

In order to give the red side a head start this time, they did send a large number of combat troops, but there were also a lot of left.

They know that the front line is tense, and in order to relieve the pressure on the front line, according to the custom, the special forces will inevitably come to make trouble.

You must know that the special operations of the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region, the whole army is famous, the Golden Eagle Special Operations Brigade, the Northwest Sky Wolf Special Forces, and the Snow Owl Commando are all subordinate to their side.

They know very well that the best way to prevent special operations personnel is not high technology, because now the science and technology of special forces are playing more and more slippery one by one, and what early warning settings and secret sentinels are useless at all.

People can hack into the defense system and change the equipment.

The only way that works, and the most primitive, is to place military dogs in a large area of the station, and this thing will not be disturbed, right?

However, what the soldiers of the second battalion and the first company of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade did not expect was this.

The special forces of the red side did not come, but ran over a synthetic battalion, and at this time, a kilometer away from them, the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the position of the station.

It's no wonder they can't think of it.

The fifth battalion was not at all in the combat sequence, it was not taken into account by the Blues, and the other combat units were already blocked at the front line.
