"Battalion commander, this small group of Red Army troops made it clear that they were disgusting us here, and simply pursued and destroyed them."

In the command room of the second battalion of the Blue Army, a staff officer got up indignantly and suggested.

The losses of the two consecutive attacks are not large, and at most a dozen people are eliminated, but they are always aggrieved when they are beaten passively.

There were a few grumpy fighters, and their lungs were about to explode.

At every turn, they came up and fired two cannons, and the soldiers of the whole battalion were shocked, and no one knew when they would be bombarded coldly.

How many guns are staring in the dark, who can stand it?

The commander of the second battalion of the Blue Army's Mountain Assault Brigade forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and waved his hand with a trembling face: "Tell me to go down, press the troops, the enemy is obviously trying to lure us out."

"Comrades, don't forget, we are a mountain assault brigade, based on the speed of maneuver, all the supplies on the front line are in our rear, and if we move, I am sure that there will be more combat units infiltrating in the future."

"Go, arrange the backbone of the company, appease the emotions of the soldiers, stand by the position, and no one is allowed to take the initiative to attack."

"Yes."

The second round of the attack of the 5th battalion fire company did not have any effect.

Chen Ming sat in the command car of the fifth battalion, raised his hand and touched his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, through the temptation, he has now determined that there are not many people in the Blue Army station.

Otherwise, in the face of provocation, it is impossible to keep shrinking and not moving, and all forbearance comes from insufficient firepower, which is an iron law.

"Interesting." Chen Ming smiled, and saw that the time was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, according to the estimation of the time of dawn in the spring in southern Xinjiang, at most two hours later, the sun should come out.

It is very likely that there will be a truce on the front line during the day, and even if the battle is not stopped, the director will arrange for the follow-up troops of the Blue Army to continue to support the front line, considering the intensity of the war, and their position is too dangerous.

We have to get a result tonight and get away from the battlefield and get up and look for another chance.

If the fifth battalion wants to survive on the battlefield for a long time, it must be obscene, avoid the edge of the army, and lurk in the shadows to make trouble.

"Pass the order, the firepower company maneuvered to within two kilometers of the Blue Army garrison, this time do not retreat, wait for me to fight hard, when to give me a rush to beat the Blue Army, when to withdraw again."

"Be careful and don't be too greedy."

"Yes, the firepower company received."

Harassing the combat units of the Blue Army one after another, seeing that the other side still did not show a fighting attitude, even several platoon commanders were happy with the improvised firepower.

Not as nervous as it was at first.

The fighters were ordered to load the shells and again advance to the designated position.

Wait for the order to open fire.

Dozens of drones of the support company were scattered within 100 meters of the perimeter of the Blue Army fortifications for low-altitude reconnaissance.

One after another pieces of investigative information appeared on the big screen of the visualization terminal like a movie, and Chen Ming stared at these pictures.

He's waiting, waiting for the Blues to let their guard down.

It was only after half an hour before they attacked, and this time the Blues will definitely be on guard, and if they are prepared, it will be boring to hit them.

At this time, in the fortifications of the second battalion of the Blue Army, several soldiers sat on the assault vehicle and looked into the distance with depressed expressions, lighting a cigarette and waving it into the darkness.

An attempt to attract the attention of the enemy in the shadows.

The battalion command has already issued an order to lift the state of alert, and the whole battalion will remain sober and ready to fight.

Smoking is allowed in addition to the secret whistle.

It's not just Chen Ming who is testing the Blues again, they are also testing the reality of attacking the enemy to see what the other party wants to do.

The Blues soldier who lit the cigarette waved it twice, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth boringly, and cursed: "Fuck, this battle is really fucking embarrassing."

"Originally, it was to prevent the special attacks of the Red Army, and I wanted to catch a few special forces to have fun, but now it's good, out of nowhere, a few artillery soldiers come out of nowhere to harass from time to time, it's really his grandmother's bad luck."

Another Blue Army soldier heard him scolding, and also took out a bite in his mouth, lit it, and looked up at the dark night sky in the distance, if there was really a special forces attack at this time, they would be the first to be named for this action.

But at this time, no one had any scruples about the attack, and they were all annoyed by the Fifth Battalion.

"Hey, don't you say it's strange, why do I always feel that in the dark, there is a cannon pointed at me again?"

"Don't be foolish, where did the cannon come from? If those Red Army cubs just now dared to come again, the labor and management backhand would destroy them. ”

"Don't worry, it took an hour to fire last time, this time I estimate that these rabbits are set to the alarm clock, and they will definitely play later."

"What do you say the command department thinks, it's just a grasshopper after the autumn, just shoot it to death, why don't you let it be chased."

"Who knows."

A few old oilmen complained, and the scarlet cigarette butts were clearly illuminated on the big screen of the fifth battalion command.

Chen Ming couldn't hear what they said again, but he could guess one or two through his expressions, and he looked at it with a smile and didn't give an order.

Another half hour passed.

At this time, it is close to dawn, the darkest time period, and it is also the most sleepy time for people.

Seeing a few old oilers go from calm at the beginning, to impatience later, to silent napping and resting.

After a few minutes of silence.

Chen Ming once again gave the order to attack.

"Fire company, open fire, give me a bomb at the Blue Army garrison, a truck artillery platoon, pull away and aim at the Blue Army garrison ten kilometers away from the rear to bombard, I don't believe they can still move."

"Yes, the firepower company received."

Boom boom boom

The soldiers of the 5th Battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, aimed at the target and fired their guns energetically.

This time, I didn't say that I would change places with a shot, it was a fatal bomb.

120mm self-propelled mortars, Type 09 truck guns, 08 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, roared in unison.

There was a "bang", and the ground was raised in a cloud of dust.

Whoosh whoosh !!

More than a dozen shells launched an attack on the Blue Army camp area.

The Blue Army soldiers, who had just closed their eyes and rested, were once again awakened by fright, and their lungs almost exploded.

"Fucking bang. "A puff of white smoke rises.

"Conceal, quickly conceal, all patrols enter the fortifications, be careful not to be injured by shells."

"Fuck, if it weren't for our tanks going to the front line, we would have been guilty of letting these turtle grandsons of the Red Army go on murder over and over again."

"The ballistic radar is turned on, and I will destroy these two gangs."

The second battalion was once again in a mess, shouting everything, but the people could only shrink up to avoid being injured by the falling shells.

At the headquarters of the second battalion, the battalion commander listened to the sound of artillery in the distance with a pale face, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

As a soldier, he was beaten twice and three times, no matter how good his psychological quality is, he is a little unbearable.

"Contact the brigade headquarters for me, and call the first battalion and three battalions at the same time to prepare for the attack."

"Yes."

He can call the shots when he closes the siege, but if the troops left behind want to pursue, it must be allowed by the commanders and fighters above.

But Chen Ming was also ruthless here, vowing to force out all the hole cards of the Blue Army station, and insisted on directing the firepower company to move forward.

The car stopped, the cannon rang, and the car moved.

Pressing forward, from a distance, the mortar shells fired by the fire company at close range were like coals thrown into the Blue Army garrison.

The rear five battalion support companies, artillery batteries, and even a large rear helicopter squadron were ready for full-scale combat.

The artillery fire was roaring, and the Blue Army seemed to be aware of the determination of the small combat units of the Red Army this time, and the firepower of a company was not large, but if they were allowed to bombard like this, it would not take a few minutes for a battalion to finish.

The news quickly spread back to the brigade headquarters of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade, and the brigade commander listened to the sound of artillery in the distance, and looked at the chief picket referee of the director's department sitting at the headquarters with a puzzled expression.

"Old Sun, which unit of the Red Army has infiltrated the rear?"

"There's no tonight in the battle plan."

"Could it be that the dragon's teeth of the Seventy-third Army have come around again? No, it's not their fighting style, the dragon's teeth won't drag on for so long, and if there's no chance, they will retreat on their own. ”

"I don't know." The chief referee shook his head decisively, now that the battle at the front is so fierce, there is no way to count the establishment of various units, in case it is a Red Army combat unit that breaks away from the main battlefield and runs to the rear to make trouble, where does he know.

The scale of this operation is too large, and the director has the head of the military department in charge, so I am afraid that there will be no result if I call to inquire at this time.

In large-scale operations, some rules become dispensable, for example, the five battalions, which are not sequenced, are allowed to enter the battlefield.

The commander of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade frowned, it was not that he did not attack, their brigade was responsible for transporting logistics materials, even if there was no such duty, the combat effectiveness of the whole brigade was less than one-fifth.

If you don't find out the enemy's firepower arrangement, you won't rush out.

The forward positions were blocked by fortifications, and a company of the Red Army could not penetrate him.

But it's different when you go out to pursue, and the only people who are left will be explained.

Just when he couldn't make up his mind, the battalion commanders ran over from the headquarters.

"Brigade commander, let's fight, the brothers in the front fortifications can't stand this anger, just a company of the Red Army, repeatedly shelled the position of our second battalion."

"Yes, brigade commander, you see that they are pressing so urgently, they must think that we dare not attack, it is expected that we have no one, and now is the right time to fight back."

"Brigadier Commander, give the order."

Calling for battle, the brigade commander heard that the brigade commander was loud for a while, how could they be afraid of a Red Army company.

is worried that the other side has a back hand, no matter how big the tank group is, the fortifications dig a trench a few meters wide, and they can't cross it.

If you chase it out, it is equivalent to giving up the terrain advantage, the vast world, and it is not necessarily who has great achievements.

But if you don't fight and let the enemy bombard, the losses will not be small, especially on morale, which will be a big blow.

"Brigade commander, contact the Tianshan Iron Cavalry in front, they still have a composite combat unit there, and arrange a tank company to assist us, which will not affect the protection of combat materials, and will not suffer a big loss if we have no heavy firepower."

"Fight, Brigadier."

Several battalion commanders almost complained in tears, and looking at that posture, they couldn't wait to bite the commander of the Red Army a few times to vent their anger.

The dignified mountain assault brigade was forced to this by the fire of a company, and there was no one.

Although the strategic arrangement is important, it also has to consider the current situation, and the commander of the Blue Army's Mountain Assault Brigade is moved.

He waved his hand and said: "Go, contact the 8th Division in front, dispatch two tank companies, and give me a severe blow to the arrogance of the Red Army."

"If you find that the situation is wrong, stop it immediately and focus on the main battlefield, understand?"

"Yes."

Several battalion commanders roared in unison, and their waists instantly hardened.

The mountain assault brigade has no confidence in fighting without tanks, and now with the assistance of two tank companies dispatched by the Eighth Division, what is there to fear?

That's it.

At this time, the fire company of the 5th Battalion was less than a kilometer away from the fortifications of the 2nd Battalion, and the truck guns did not move, and after shelling several shots at the rear of the Blue Army in a row, the attack was stopped.

Prepare for the next big battle with all your might.

Chen Ming listened to the report of the support company and the special investigation team, and his eyes were firmly locked on the battlefield, the blue army had scruples, and he also had scruples.

No one can figure out whose reality is true.

Both sides are betting.

When the atmosphere was tense, the latest report from the support company suddenly stunned all the soldiers of the fifth battalion.

"It was reported that a military jeep was detected maneuvering towards us ten kilometers to the southeast."

Ten kilometers away? Jeep?

The 5th Battalion, which was in intense preparation, received the news, and almost instantly, the artillery of the artillery company and the support company attacking from a distance turned the turret and locked onto the jeep.

"Report, do you lock in the attack?"

"No, how much more movement can a jeep cause, how many people can he stuff."

Chen Ming shook his head slightly and continued to give instructions.

"Order the fire company to stop advancing, retreat while fighting, and continue to attract the Blues out in pursuit."

"Keep an eye on distant vehicles, and if the other person deviates from the direction he came from, give him a ride."

"Roger."

"Report, our command system has just been invaded, and the interference frequency band of the other party is not strong, so it cannot be tracked continuously."

"Report, the source of the intrusion signal has completely disappeared."

News also came from the special investigation detachment.

The situation on the battlefield began to become delicate, and the Blues, who had been indignant all night, did not move this time.

The truck artillery shelled the Blue Army's position for a long time, and the station in the distance did not respond, and all kinds of signs made Chen Ming a little uncertain.

It was always calm before the storm, Chen Ming pondered for a moment and gave a decisive order.

"Fire company, retreat immediately, retreat at full speed."

"Helicopter squadron, lifted into the air, ready to rush to the rescue at any time."

Less than three minutes after Chen Ming gave the order, the Blues finally moved.

More than fifty warrior assault vehicles, Bobcat assault vehicles slumped out of the Blue Army position, and in the front row of the assault vehicles, twenty tanks took the lead.

The picture has just been projected onto the big screen of the command of the fifth battalion, and before everyone can figure out the operational firepower configuration of the blue army this time.

At the same time, the signal of the UAV in front was suddenly jammed, and the support detachment of the fire company, which followed it, lost control of the UAV.

Communication with the Fifth Battalion was also lost, and the electromagnetic signal was completely cut off.

The 8th Division of the Tianshan Iron Cavalry was dispatched.

It's not that they didn't hear the sound of shelling, but on the battlefield, even if the rear is attacked, it is a common thing, tactical deceit, and variability.

In the absence of an order to rush to help, and without finding out the enemy's firepower arrangement, they generally do not take the initiative to transfer troops.

But this time it was different, the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade called for help, and the 8th Division not only sent two tank companies as decoys, but also followed a light battalion in the rear.

In order not to expose their firepower, the praying mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch was behind, and the nearby reconnaissance equipment was immediately interfered with.

"Report to Command, the fire company is disconnected from our chain of command."

"Report, the southeast jeep is only four kilometers away from us."

"Report, the special investigation team is working hard to find the source of interference."

"Report."

One message after another was summarized in the command vehicle of the fifth battalion, and the battalion commander Du Longfei clenched his fists to the extreme.

At this time, it is the best way to train a commander's on-the-spot command ability, the vanguard is lost, and the intelligence of the night is zero.

The fifth battalion may have been targeted by the Blues.

All this is unknown, and he doesn't know if Chen Ming can handle it.

And Chen Ming listened calmly to all the reports.

"All combat units should not panic, and the special investigation detachment will carry out counter-jamming."

"Helicopter squadron, sortie."

"Support company, radar detection to the maximum range, do a good job of air defense arrangement."

"Armored infantry companies, tank companies, artillery companies, fully combat-ready."

"Support the company, launch a vehicle-mounted investigation and combat integrated drone, and expand the scope of investigation."

"The whole battalion is ready to fight."

"Yes, the helicopter squadron received."

"Guaranteed even received."

"Received by the Special Reconnaissance Team."

"The artillery battery received."

~~~~~~~

Just as the fifth battalion was in combat mode, the jeep that came from a distance finally arrived.

According to Chen Ming's guess, if the car deviated from the direction on the way, it would mean that the other party had hit him by mistake and sent him away with a shell.

If it rushes straight ahead, it's likely to be your own people.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly again.

The jeep came to a stop, and a lieutenant colonel, led by the commander of the engineer detachment, led two heavily armed fighters, passed through the five-battalion tank cluster and came to the command vehicle.

When Chen Ming saw the person coming, he was also a little surprised, the person who came was none other than Qin Dong, the commander of the 2nd Special Operations Brigade of the 71st Army Special Operations Brigade.

In the past, Tang Zhen, the commander of the artillery brigade, mentioned that the one who was very similar to himself was the last time they met when the second recruit brigade was training in the field, because the large-scale training was about to begin.

There were people from the special forces who stood up for the helicopter comrades and they left, and that time it was Qin Dong who led the team, and Chen Ming had seen him.

With his own memory, he saw it this time and recognized it at a glance.

But, what is he here for?
