The target of the Red Third Company's attack was Highland 304.
It was quiet all around.
Although this area is called a highland, its altitude is not particularly high. However, it is mostly surrounded by hills that are only half as high as it is, so this place suddenly looks outstanding.
Of course, this is a very important place. If you occupy this place and rely on the convenient location, you can easily resist the troops attacking from the southeast.
The valley in the southeast direction is relatively narrow, so relying on the terrain of 304, two platoons here are enough to resist the attack of about two companies.
At this time, the surroundings were quiet, with only the cool wind blowing from afar.
The leader of the Blue Army responsible for guarding this place is a second lieutenant and a platoon leader.
It stands to reason that the Blue Army should at least send one company to guard such an important place, but the Blue Army headquarters has another clever plan. The reason why it still sends people to guard this place is just that it cannot be too easy for the Red Army to get, and it is blocked here.
Holding back the Red Army is also part of the plan, so at this time, there are only two platoons here, and of course, they are all elite soldiers.
At this time, the second lieutenant was holding a telescope and looking in the southeast direction, but his field of vision was empty and there was nothing.
After watching for a while, he put down the telescope and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Dongliang, what's the situation over there?"
The walkie-talkie buzzed twice: "Report to the cave, everything is normal here, and there is no sign of the Red Army coming."
The second lieutenant said on the walkie-talkie: "According to normal circumstances, the Red Army should enter your observation range in about half an hour. Tell brothers, cheer up and don't be careless!"
Just after saying the word "It's over", ten meters away from the second lieutenant, at the three o'clock direction, there was a loud bang and a violent explosion.
"What's going on? What do these guys in the director's department do for a living? Can this cause an accident?"
The second lieutenant was very angry and turned away angrily, preparing to attack the enemy.
Those explosive points were all arranged by the director in advance.
This is a strategic location that the red and blue sides must fight for, so the director made arrangements here early. There are many explosive points buried here. Once the red side is covered by artillery fire or other attacks, if it hits, the director will
Ministry staff will detonate some of the explosive spots to simulate a real battlefield.
Of course, the charges of these explosive points will be much smaller, but even so, accidents will happen if you are not careful. When setting up this place last night, a staff member from the director's department accidentally exploded an explosive point.
Fortunately, the Red Army hadn't started attacking last night, otherwise it would have been exposed. But now is a critical moment. If you make such a big noise now, aren't you just reminding the Red Army that we are already ambushing here?
So the second lieutenant was very angry.
From the fact that the director's department is still planting explosive sites here, we can infer that the current level of our military's exercises still needs to be improved.
There used to be many artifacts on our military's exercise grounds. They could be easily operated during training and exercises, improve performance, and enhance viewing pleasure. Because of the above characteristics, many troops liked to use them in the past, so these small methods were called artifacts.
However, the fundamental mission of the military is to defeat the enemy on the battlefield; and the main mission of training exercises is to promote officers and soldiers to adapt to the battlefield and accumulate experience for possible future battlefield conflicts.
Therefore, those artifacts that are "good for drills but harmful to war" will only distort officers and soldiers' understanding of real war, and then affect the improvement of actual combat skills. Therefore, in a few years, those artifacts will gradually be eliminated, but it is obvious that
, these artifacts are still in use, at least in this exercise.
Among these artifacts, three are the most famous. One is the small flag on the tank. For decades, large-scale tank units have often appeared in our military exercises. In the vast wilderness, dozens or even hundreds of tanks are decorated with red and blue flags.
Two-color flags, steel armors staggered, galloping and fighting fiercely, so majestic, and the battlefield situation is clear at a glance. This has two purposes, one is to allow both sides of the exercise to identify ourselves and the enemy, and the other is to allow the referees and observing leaders of the exercise to see more clearly.
However, in actual combat, how can an enemy tank put up a flag so that people can distinguish it? On the battlefield, it is even possible for the enemy to disguise itself as ours.
And if our tanks are equipped with those fluttering flags, they will undoubtedly provide the enemy with the best targeting target.
Therefore, after 2010, many exercises gradually removed the small flags on the tanks. For example, in May 2013, a group army's actual exercise in the Lanzhou Military Region specifically required that everything be conducted according to the standards of war.
, forming a clear direction of real practice. None of the participating troops planted any flags.
Without the small flag, both parties are forced to identify enemy and friendly tanks on their own, and even see through the enemy's camouflage. This is more in line with the actual situation on the battlefield. For departments that evaluate and observe exercises, they used to observe both sides with the naked eye, but now they have
With a real-time monitoring system, the exercise director can clearly see the red and blue parties participating in the exercise through the computer screen. Of course, tanks do not need to fly red and blue flags on the battlefield.
The second kind of magic weapon is slogans and slogans. Needless to say, this exercise was everywhere in the station.
The last artifact is the explosive point.
During exercises, in order to enhance the battlefield atmosphere, some "simulated explosion points" are often set up in advance near the shooting target.
In this way, once you shoot at these targets during the exercise and the simulated explosion points detonate at the same time, you will see the explosion shaking the sky, the fire everywhere, and the smoke filling the air. It is really beautiful.
However, this kind of design that simulates explosive spots only has a "good-looking" effect.
On a real battlefield, of course the enemy will not bury explosives near their own facilities and equipment. At the same time, many simulated explosive points are controlled by the director. Some of the explosive points are set in unreasonable locations and the timing of the explosion is inaccurate, which will have a negative impact on the exercise.
process to cause damage or mislead.
With the popularization of electronic and information methods, the only factor that needs to be paid attention to is to combine weapon performance, distance, shooting skills, weather and landforms, etc., to determine whether the shot hits. As for the explosion and fire after the hit, there is no need to deliberately simulate it. In this way
, it can also prevent energy and financial resources from being diverted to unnecessary performances.
However, it is obvious that this exercise at this time does not have such advanced conditions and simulates explosive points.
So when he heard that sound at this moment, the second lieutenant became dissatisfied and thought to himself, are you people in the director's department just living for a living? How come you can't do such a small job well, what use are you?
He just raised his feet and was about to take the second step. Boom, boom, boom, the explosive points that the director had planted in advance exploded one after another.
"Damn it, it's the Red Army's artillery fire!"
The second lieutenant's eyelids jumped as he finally realized what was going on.
He looked towards a staff member of the directing department, and sure enough, the guy winked at him urgently.
"Hidden! Hidden—"
The ensign screamed at the top of his lungs and jumped into the trench with a whoosh.
The artillery fire coverage at this time is not real coverage, but a simulation.
The Red Army fired special ammunition for exercises from a distance. Every time a shell was fired, the computer would immediately and accurately calculate the trajectory of the shell, calculate the impact point, and then calculate the damage effect based on relevant parameters. Finally, the results were transmitted to the staff of the director's department at Highland 304.
On the terminal, the staff manually gave the damage situation based on the calculation results, such as this one was killed, that one was injured, how many people withdrew from the battle, and so on!
"hidden--"
On Hill 304, Blue Army soldiers shouted one after another and jumped into the trenches to hide.
They had long thought that the Red Army would carry out artillery attacks in this area, so they had already prepared response strategies and dug "strong" fortifications.
However, at this time, the Blue Army soldiers could only resign themselves to fate as to whether they would be killed. The artillery fire coverage at this time was not real, just a simulation, so they could not intuitively feel whether they would die.
Secondly, the director only gave a conclusion on how many people were killed by the Red Army's artillery fire this time, but which Blue Army soldiers were killed was randomly designated by the on-site staff. If you are lucky, you will be alive.
If you were accidentally targeted by the coordinator, you would be dead. So as soon as the Blue Army heard the "hide" command, they quickly jumped into the trench and hid. Everyone was worried that they would be caught by the coordinator if they were slow.
Go be the unjust ghost.
Boom——Boom——Boom——
The explosions exploded one after another.
The Blue Army soldiers were not nervous. They entered the trenches in an orderly manner and each found a place to hide.
The fortifications they dug were very clever and their distribution was very scientific, so it was impossible for ordinary artillery fire coverage to annihilate them all, so the soldiers of the Blue Army were still full of confidence.
But just after a few soldiers squatted down, a staff member from the command team rushed over and shouted: "You have all been killed. Put down your weapons first, and don't come out from squatting on the ground!"
"What?"
Several blue soldiers stared at each other with big eyes.
Our fortifications are so hidden, how could the Red Army's artillery hit them?
"Comrade, have you made a mistake?" Some Blue Army soldiers were dissatisfied.
"Command issued an order, you are already dead, please stay well and don't move, otherwise you will be deducted points from the Blue Army!" The staff of the command team was very dissatisfied and yelled angrily.
"No, comrade, our fortifications are very hidden. The location is so tricky. How could the Red Army blow it up?"
"Then how do I know? The headquarters said that the Red Army was carrying out a precision strike. They all know your coordinates, so you are all dead! Stay well, and I will deduct points if you yell again!"
The staff of the command and control team cursed. He was also very surprised why the Red Army's artillery could fire so accurately. Most of the fortifications of these Blue Army soldiers had been destroyed. He couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't understand the command's order.
Dare not to obey.
Little did he know that at this time, a drone was hovering over Highland 304. Wu Liuyi knew exactly where the Blue Army soldiers were running and hiding. They made a simple calculation and immediately obtained the precise coordinates.
It was teleported back, so the Red Army's artillery troops were very accurate in firing, and what type of shells should be used. The Red Army troops also knew very well. Although the Blue Army's fortifications were strong, they could not withstand the attack of special ammunition.
Fortunately, the artillery unit of the Red Army is still the same as before. If Chen Fei commanded it, after several rounds of saturation attacks, the hills would be bulldozed. How could a few Blue Army soldiers have any chance of survival?
However, the artillery fire coverage at this time was not too severe and only destroyed one-third of the Blue Army's strength.
Just as the Blue Army was hiding in the fortifications and nervous, the Red Army and nine infantry fighting vehicles of the Red Third Company rushed up the slope from the rear of Hill 304 from different angles.
On Highland 304, the explosive points planted by the commander in advance were still exploding with rumbles, so the roar of the infantry fighting vehicles was not so conspicuous, and in some periods it was even completely drowned out.
Every infantry fighting vehicle seemed to be going crazy, roaring and roaring like a tiger out of its cage, killing towards the top of the mountain.
The earth was trembling.
In the fortification, the person in charge of the Blue Army vaguely heard a strange sound and felt that the ground was shaking.
"Did you hear any strange noises?" He used his elbow to nudge a squad leader next to him.
"No? There's no sound? Oh, what about the explosion... Eh, no, it seems like there really is some sound? It seems like the sound of an engine?"
"Engine?" He frowned slightly, then hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Dong Liang, what's the situation over there? Are there any Red Army vehicles coming?"
"Report to the cave, everything is normal here, there are no vehicles!"
"Damn it!" the second lieutenant cursed and punched the ground hard.
"Platoon leader, let me go take a look!" the squad leader next to him gritted his teeth and said.
At this time, we are still covered by artillery fire. If we go out, we will probably be judged dead by the coordinator. Although the director prefers the Blue Army, if we go too far, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, if we go out at this time,
The risk is still very high.
"Okay! Go and take a look! Be careful! Report any situation immediately!"
"yes!"
The squad leader immediately stood up, jogged a few steps, and jumped out of the trench.
"Oh shit--"
He just stood firm and looked behind him. He suddenly took a breath of air and couldn't help but cursed: "Platoon commander, the Red Army is coming from behind us! Nine infantry fighting vehicles!"
"Bang--"
Before he could finish his words, a gunshot suddenly rang out. Before he could give any more warnings, a stream of colored smoke spurted out from his helmet. He was shot dead and he opened his mouth.
, I wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the facilitator’s stern look.
In the fortification, the second lieutenant gritted his teeth. He never expected that the Red Army would come up from behind their butts. He never thought of this.
In fact, it’s not that I didn’t expect it.
He still thought that the Red Army would get behind them, but according to calculations, if the Red Army wanted to get behind them, it would take at least two hours to arrive, but -
At this time, it was still very early. How could the Red Army rush behind them?
The second lieutenant is also a ruthless character. He only thought about it for a little more than a second before making a decision: "Everyone is here, prepare to fight——"
We can no longer control the artillery fire coverage, otherwise if the Red Army all rushes up, then they will all be destroyed.
