Chapter 63 Exercises
Sun Chang and his company were walking carefully in the woods, quietly everywhere, with only the rustling sound of feet stomping on the snow and his regular breathing sounds.
You can hear the sounds coming from time to time on a simple road side by side in the distance. The sounds of car engines are low and the sounds of tanks are rumbling. Sometimes a small group of soldiers with live ammunition pass by, and they have to hide.
This is the first time Sun Chang's company has participated in an exercise in recent years. Perhaps the blood of soldiers is much hotter than that of civilians. In peaceful times, military exercises will be treated as actual combat by real soldiers. Of course, you can also act as acting unless you don't mind being "shot" or "captured". Before becoming an officer, Sun Chang participated in several exercises. Every time he was "dead" when he didn't even know what the enemy looked like, which made him very depressed.
Everything was the same as the tactics practiced in normal times. No accident was discovered by the "Red Army" and the soldiers did a good job. Sun Chang subconsciously looked at the only "civilian" beside him, Li Siming.
Li Siming was still complaining at this time. As soon as he returned to the farm, he was dragged to the exercise site by Sun Chang. He knew that Sun Chang was a professional soldier who truly loved the army and was willing to try any means of victory. Sun Chang's fifth company belonged to the "Blue Army" in this exercise. He tried his best to obtain this reconnaissance mission, so he cherished it very much. He needed a "war" to realize his dream, so he brought Li Siming. Li Siming, who had "enjoyed" at home for half a month during the Spring Festival, instinctively did not want to follow a group of soldiers to struggle in the deep mountains and forests. However, he understood Sun Chang's thoughts. If the reason was found, he might be the culprit.
The causes of this exercise are: First, there are some "signs" of bad international situation recently. A former ally, a country in Southeast Asia, is ready to move, and overseas Chinese are declared "dissidents"; the country has just ended its "*", and the supreme authorities are very worried about the combat effectiveness of the army. The beginning of the rectification of the army, improving the combat level of the army is the top priority; second, the old opponents are conducting military exercises on the opposite side of the Ussuri River, and the other side is sharpening the knife against the disintegrated Afghanistan. It is impolite to come but not go, so
This military exercise was conducted. However, in order not to stimulate the opponent, the scale of the exercise was limited to two strengthened division-level troops. According to convention, the "Red Army" is the defender, representing the actual combat power of the Chinese army, while the "Blue Army" is the "invader". The subject of this exercise was to test our army's combat capabilities when facing the opponent's sudden attack. In Li Siming's opinion, the level of the exercise was relatively low, not only small in scale, but not as complex as the integrated air-ground combat method he had experienced.
They were performing reconnaissance missions, with the purpose of making sure to understand all the enemy's military deployments. For this reason, they had to pass through mountains, woods and swamps and not be discovered. The soldiers marched in combat formations among the woods, and the leading guides carefully searched forward, and the guards also paid attention to the situation behind them. In front was a section of valley, with a low hill on both sides, each with an enemy observation post guarding, standing on the top of the mountain, the valley was full of grass and trees.
"Company Commander Sun, you can't move forward any longer. It's too risky to move forward now." Li Siming said to Sun Chang in a low voice.
"It seems that I have to wait for the evening." Sun Chang said.
They carried military compressed dry food with them, but no one could eat it. The road was still long, and I don’t know if there was still a meal. In the simple tent, everyone wrapped their coats tightly to keep warm with each other.
As night falls, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. The snow is shining brightly under the moonlight, and the trees in the valley can still pass through unimpeded. In order to facilitate action, I only brought one platoon of troops this time. The original armed company has been away, adjusted, and demobilized in recent years. Now only a few people are still in this company. Fortunately, the training outline formulated by Li Siming has been continuing. The black giant Xie Wu and Qiao Xiaolong are now considered old people. They are now platoon leaders. Both of these platoon leaders are competing to participate in this reconnaissance mission, but after Sun Chang considered it, he only brought Qiao Xiaolong's platoon.
After passing through the valley, the reconnaissance platoon came to a cliff. According to the map, they had to bypass the pass and reach the heart of the enemy's army, but this would take a lot of time, and the second was that there were a large number of enemy defenses at the front gate, making it difficult to find loopholes.
"Climb up directly! This should be a commanding height above. Generally, it cannot climb up. The enemy should just set this place as an observation post. The defense should not be too tight, but they must not imagine that we will climb up from here." Li Siming said decisively. In the moonlight, Sun Chang looked at the cliff. There was a gentle slope below. Various thorny trees grew very densely. The end of the gentle slope suddenly became a right angle, which was very steep. Although he had done this kind of training with bare hands, he undoubtedly hesitated with this strange place at night.
"I'll do it." Li Siming saw that he was a little hesitant, so he took the initiative to take on the task.
"Then be careful." Sun Chang made up his mind.
Everyone was carefully walking through the thorn woods. Everyone was pierced. If they were accidentally stabbed, their hands would be cut by sharp thorns, but no one made a sound. Looking at the soldiers beside them, Sun Chang was very satisfied.
After passing through the thorny forest, Li Siming took off his shoes. Although the yellow cowhide shoes were warm, they were too bulky. He tied the shoes to his body, put the rope on his back, and climbed upwards. Fortunately, there was almost no snow on this cliff, and several huge stones protruding from the protruding places could even stand together. The stones in some places were a little loose, and they fell down with a little force, which made Sun Chang, who was below, raise his heart to his throat.
"Damn it, let's be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship, don't explain it here!" Li Siming reminded himself in his heart.
They carefully climbed up the cliff, tied the rope tightly, and threw the other end under the cliff. Fortunately, the cliff was not high, otherwise the ropes brought were not enough, and all the previous efforts were wasted. All the members climbed up the cliff one by one and took a break.
"Damn it, the enemy is so blatant that he didn't even send a whistle." Sun Chang lay next to a huge rock. From here, he could see a tent not far ahead, and the snoring sound was clearly heard. Qiao Xiaolong crawled in front of him, gently lifted a corner of the tent, and came back and reported that there were only ten people.
"Capt them!" Sun Chang and Li Siming thought of each other.
These ten people are in the same class. The surname of Bantou is Niu, but this surname does not make him feel that he is very awesome. In the middle of the night, when he was awakened by the light of the oil lamp, as soon as he opened his eyes, he found a dagger pressing against his neck.
"Ah, who?" Out of instinct, a scream woke the soldiers in the tent, but they were greeted by the black muzzle.
"I declare that you have been captured!" Sun Chang said proudly.
"No, we are all killed." Squad leader Niu disagreed. He was unwilling to be "captured". In actual combat, it is easy to sell off military secrets, so he chose this and added, "We were killed because of resistance!" Anyway, Sun Chang could not deny this possibility, but he didn't care. This is definitely a commanding height, and the enemy's military deployment can be clearly observed.
Squad Leader Niu could not refute it. He was touched into the tent by others. If it were actual combat, he would have been "sacrificed". Squad Leader Niu and others were arranged in the tent and were not allowed to move freely because they were already "dead people". Qiao Xiaolong arranged to cook while cooking, but had not eaten hot food for a day. He had to "hard" himself after all. Squad Leader Niu watched the group of "enemy troops" cooking unscrupulously on his territory, staring at his subordinates, hating that he was too careless, why didn't he arrange a post? On this cliff, even if he arranged a clear post, he could easily detect it.
In the early morning, Sun Chang stood on the cliff, holding a telescope. The situation on the other side of the mountain was clear at a glance, and he quickly reported the observed distribution of enemy forces through the radio station. There was a relatively spacious area, and the Red Army arranged three defense lines in the mountains, and the jeep were frequently traveling in the woods. There might be a command center, and behind the woods was the artillery army position, and the artillery mirror reflected light in the sun. Everything was the same as the analysis after the reconnaissance last night. Last night, he used the radio station to report their progress to the "Blue Army" command center. After receiving the report, the command center made adjustments overnight.
It should be said that the "Red Army" has taken a lot of defensive measures, and a large number of fake targets are made very realistic. However, last night, Sun Chang sent someone pretending to be a squad leader to "visit" friendly forces, sent back a lot of intelligence, and finally figured out the actual situation. From now on, no one comes or goes to the attachment of fake targets, which is too quiet! Sometimes, war is that simple. Although your entire trump card is still hidden, it is already transparent in the eyes of others, but you know nothing about other people's situation.
So a war ended because of this small reconnaissance platoon. The "Blue Army" "hit" the command of the "Red Army" in the first wave of attacks. The command of the "Red Army" was interrupted and they fought on their own. The artillery positions were also used as the focus of bombing by the "Blue Army". Within two hours, the "Blue Army" resolved the battle. In the eyes of many people, this war ended as a joke, and it ended at the beginning, and the "Red Army" was beaten to pieces before they could react.
This exercise broke the habitual thinking of "Red Army" winning in the past. Some people in the director department of the exercise also questioned this because the "Blue Army" did not play according to the previous routine. Of course, it is possible to send small troops, but this small troops directly crossed the layers of defense of the "Red Army" and pretended to enter the command core of the "Red Army", which is something that everyone has never experienced in previous exercises.
In the current director department, the Red and Blue sides quarreled. The two commanders are both hot-minded. They are both soldiers and have made merits and promoted together. They are supposed to be old friends, but in fact they always fight each other. Since they have been born Yu, how can they be Liang? So the Blue Army did not play cards according to the rules, which is not very strange for them. So the Red Army was defeated for the first time, and they were defeated miserably, so of course the other party stopped doing it.
"Monkey Sun, if you have the ability, let's do it again. What kind of heroes are involved in conspiracy?" The Red Army commander pointed at the other party's nose and shouted loudly. The Blue Army commander's surname is Sun and his name is Sun Wei, but he is thin and small. At first glance, his nickname is quite vivid.
"What's the next battle? Can you survive if you die on the battlefield? It's so fresh! Taro, if you lose, you lose. A man can take it and let it go. Our elite reconnaissance team is not a vegetarian!" The Red Army commander's surname is Yu, and this "taro" is his nickname and is known as Yu Lide, but this name is the opposite of his personality.
"What elite reconnaissance team? Have the ability to touch my reconnaissance company."
"We have received the most scientific training in our company. Instructor Li has given us a lot of scientific training, so our reconnaissance team will complete the task successfully." The speaker was Yu Jianzhong, the instructor of Sun Chang. He and Li Siming had never seen each other several times, but the training process and results he saw with his own eyes made him very much agree with Li Siming, the "outside-staff" instructor. His company performed well this time. He wanted to defend his company out of a sense of honor. What he didn't expect was another problem.
"Instructor Li, who is it?" Honglan and the two sides asked together. It seemed that even the commander of the Blue Army was not clear.
"I am an educated youth. We even hired him as our instructor. This time he also participated in the exercise."
"What? Let a civilian participate in the exercise and ask him to be an instructor. What is this? Is there any organizational discipline and any confidentiality regulations?" someone asked sternly.
"This..." Yu Jianzhong stammered and couldn't answer the words. This matter was hard to explain clearly, "But we were all convinced. Instructor Li is indeed capable!"
"Just, I haven't encountered such a strange thing yet. In the actual combat of real swords and guns, many people in front of us also participated in the battle, but I haven't heard of civilians who serve as instructors for soldiers, nor have I heard of those who participated in the command. No, I must report this to my superiors!" Tao cursed, a little angry.
"List...main! The chief is here!" The guards at the door reported. All the officers of all sizes in the house immediately stood like javelins.
"I heard you lost." After the leader came in, he stared at the Red Army commander fiercely, "And someone else exploded his nest when the battle started!"
Chapter completed!
