The exercise codenamed "Assault 2005" finally began.
A jeep convoy drove out of the 702nd Regiment like a snake, and then quickly dispersed, each rushing to their respective target areas. Some went to the train station, some went to some village intersections, and some were scattered on the roads.
Both sides.
These cars are filled with soldiers wearing red sleeves. Their mission is to control traffic and ensure safety.
After a while, the armored troops also drove out of the gate of the regiment headquarters and drove onto the special tank channel next to the highway.
In the small town, the motorcade rumbled past.
A broken tree on the roadside was crushed into two pieces like matchsticks, and then a car ran over it.
The two-story tavern was actually level with the soldiers with live ammunition on the roof of the car. The diners on the second floor of the tavern were in sharp contrast with the steel giant outside. The people who were eating felt their bodies and houses shaking involuntarily.
"Drilling again -" some diners sighed.
"It's an old rule, there will be one in the middle of the year, just wait, there will be another one at the end of the year." Some people are used to it.
"Huh? Their armored vehicles seem different from before?" Someone said in surprise, as if they had discovered a new world.
Smoke and dust billowed as the convoy moved slowly towards the train station.
Among the rolling traffic, there was a No. 703 armored reconnaissance vehicle from the third squadron of the 702nd Regiment Steel Company.
Chen Fei drives a car.
Shi Jin sat aside.
The two of them were responsible for driving the car to the train, and after arriving at the destination, they were responsible for driving the car to the exercise area.
Crawler vehicles must rely on trains for long-distance travel. Unlike wheeled vehicles, which can maneuver for long distances, there is no way. This is the disadvantage of crawler vehicles, so Chen Fei and Shi Jin can only take trains.
Others in Class Three were much more relaxed and took military trucks directly to the exercise area.
Chen Fei's head was exposed, looking at the road conditions, while his hands and feet were skillfully operating in the car, shifting gears, pressing the brakes, and pressing the accelerator.
During the war, armored vehicle drivers would huddle up in the armored vehicle to operate, and all observations could only be made through the narrow observation hole in the front. However, driving on weekdays does not need to be so difficult. You can stick your head out and observe the road surface directly.
Rumble——
Traffic roared across the road.
On both sides of the road, some sheep and cattle looked nervously, with their ears pricked up and their eyes alert. However, the people standing among the sheep and cattle were much more relaxed. Many people were smiling and talking, and there were also a few who were 1.4 meters tall.
The children on the left and right raised their hands and saluted the motorcade with a non-standard military salute.
When Chen Fei's No. 703 tank passed by the saluting children, those children raised their hands again and saluted Chen Fei again.
Most of the other armored vehicles were indifferent to the salutes of those children. Even if someone occasionally saw them, they just smiled. However, when those children saluted Chen Fei again, Chen Fei felt that he should express something.
He wanted to blow the horn at first, but when he raised his hand, he couldn't help laughing. Combat vehicles such as armored vehicles and tanks do not have horns. It is said that they were canceled during World War II to prevent accidents.
He sounded the horn by mistake and exposed his position. After thinking about it, he stepped on the accelerator and quickly accelerated, then put the armored vehicle into gear and let the armored vehicle run forward for a while.
At this time, the speed of the vehicle was very low, less than twenty yards, and there was a sufficient safe distance between each armored vehicle, so Chen Fei stepped on the accelerator without much hidden danger.
Tank No. 703 rumbled to life, the diesel engine roared deafeningly, and the armored vehicle sped forward while spitting out a large puff of black smoke.
The children over there noticed it immediately and looked over here in surprise.
Chen Fei freed up his right hand, raised it, and returned a salute to the children. The children were overjoyed and worked harder, holding their chests high.
"Chen Fei, what's going on?" Shi Jin was startled when he saw Chen Fei suddenly speeding up.
"It's okay, there are some kids over there, let me say hello to them!"
Shi Jin was actually a little dissatisfied with Chen Fei's approach, but he didn't say much.
The armored vehicle rumbled to the station, drove into the train carriage, and was secured. After that, Chen Fei and Shi Jin went to the first carriage to escort the vehicle.
After a not too long journey, the train finally arrived at the station. Chen Fei and Shi Jin got into tank No. 703 together and drove the tank to the exercise area.
"Squad leader, Chen Fei, here -"
As soon as Chariot No. 703 arrived at the target area, Bai Tiejun rushed out like flying, waving a small flag wildly.
"Chen Fei, direction of ten o'clock!" Shi Jin discovered Bai Tiejun first and ordered to Chen Fei.
"Understood!" Chen Fei glanced over there and spotted Bai Tiejun, so he turned to the left and drove the armored vehicle there without any haste.
The first lesson everyone will do next is the disguise drill.
The soldiers of the third squadron who arrived here in advance have found an excellent hiding and camouflaging place. Bai Tiejun came out to direct Chen Fei. Chen Fei wanted to drive the car there, and then put a camouflage net on the car to hide the car.
.
at this time.
The prairie goes deeper.
The green grass is green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is as beautiful as ever.
Upon closer inspection, we found that a simple hut suddenly appeared on the roadside. There was also a pile of dried sheep dung beside the house, as well as a few goats tied to stakes.
But sitting inside were the regimental commander and chief of staff.
This is a temporary command post built by the 702nd Regiment Headquarters.
Outside, a herdsman passed by the roadside on a motorcycle. When he saw this house, he thought it was a new herdsman. He stopped the car and pushed the door open. He was still muttering: "When was it built? Why didn't anyone tell me?
Woolen cloth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two heavily armed soldiers stood in front of him.
"Go quickly!" the soldier ordered softly.
The herdsman couldn't help but be startled, and was about to say something when he suddenly saw a wooden board lifted up in the middle of the empty house. Wang Qingrui and other regimental officers and several staff officers came out of the hole below. There was a hole under the wooden board.
The cave was filled with the sounds of radios, voices, and generators. It was impossible to figure out how big the space was and how many people were hiding there.
Wang Qingrui smiled and said to the herdsman: "Fellow, let's bother you for a few days and then leave."
The herdsman was confused for a moment, turned around and staggered away on his bicycle.
A patch of turf he had just driven through was lifted up, and hidden soldiers underneath were watching the smoke disappear behind the car.
Wang Qingrui smiled proudly: "Sure! If we can hide all the locals, I feel a little more confident about this disguise exercise."
The chief of staff warned him: "This is not concealment, but exposure. If we have concealed it, the herdsman will not come here."
Wang Qingrui thought for a while: "Yes. This is a flaw. It's unreasonable to pretend that there is no living person outside our private house! Find two soldiers who can speak the local language and take off the camouflage for me to herd the sheep!"
