Following Leader Jing's order, dozens of uniformed military officers picked up their binoculars and began to observe the changes in the positions of both sides.
For a moment, the director's office became unusually quiet.
The Blue Army's originally assembled 2,000 troops were immediately dispersed in an organized manner into battalion units, and then dispersed twice and three times into company and platoon units.
From the command center, looking from afar, the Blue Army quickly occupied the left, middle and right parts of Snow Mountain B, then began to camouflage and disappeared from everyone's sight.
All the big guys knew that the Blue Army was starting to break up into small groups, entering combat mode and moving forward.
On the red side, as the exercise order was issued, 301 drones quickly took off. The scene was very spectacular, causing the command center to exclaim in surprise.
Captain Fang of the Blue Army also saw the Red Army's drone taking off from afar, but he was not very alert.
You can't blame him. He has never seen the power of a drone. From a distance, it looks like a group of flies buzzing around. How powerful can it be?
If you were a 301 fighter jet, he would still be afraid.
So he gave the order directly over the radio:
"All units, take note! Hiding in platoon units. The enemy's little flies are flying. We have to give them some face, and even pretend to be quite scared."
"First row received, haha."
"Second platoon got it, play with them."
"Six platoons are already in position, waiting for the enemy to fall into our trap."
Lin Sanqi's drone took the lead and was already hovering in the air.
In addition to Lin Sanqi being able to receive the signal, a 100-inch LCD color TV was also placed in the command center, and the signal was transmitted to be broadcast live to all the big guys simultaneously.
Xu Tianxing looked at the big screen and smiled, as if everything was under control:
“When we were fighting in Kongkashan, we first used the terrain to hide, and sometimes we even took the initiative to leave gaps to allow the enemy to attack and lure them deeper into our territory.
After entering the pocket, we can keep the enemy behind with another wave of attack.
Especially in plateau environments, it is not easy for the enemy to escape, because lack of oxygen affects everyone.
We can wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, but the attacking enemy has already consumed a lot of energy and oxygen and can't even run.
Now our soldiers have used the terrain to hide, covering themselves with white cloth in the snow-capped mountains and gray cloth in the rocks.
Look at this screen, if I don't tell you, can you find where our soldiers are?"
At this time, everyone in the command center started talking about it.
Guerrilla warfare has always been a tradition of our army. Everyone is familiar with this tactic, and everyone feels that there is no problem with the Snow Region Army's combat plan.
Aren’t you, the Red Team, claiming to have new weapons and coming with great force?
Then I will avoid your attack, hide and fight a guerrilla war with you first, not giving you the opportunity to concentrate on annihilating me, and see how you break the deadlock.
Leader Jing then asked:
"If this happened on the Kongkazan battlefield, how would Baotou respond?"
Xu Tianxing replied:
"The Baotou Kingdom generally uses the same tactics as us, lying in ambush and not rushing to attack.
As I said before, logistical supplies are beneficial to them, so their idea is very clear, which is to delay the war as long as possible.
They probably want to drag it out until July, the summer, and when autumn arrives, the empty Kazan will begin to be covered with heavy snow. Then our logistical supply will become more difficult, and that will be their opportunity."
Everyone was silent, thinking that if they were the commander of Baotou State, they would also adopt the tactic of "dragging".
We will not engage in a large-scale decisive battle with you head-on, because a decisive battle will be more beneficial to China.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the Jie F Army is not exaggerated. It is an internationally recognized existence that even defeated the United Nations forces led by the United States.
Therefore, it is best for both sides to drag the enemy out together until your food and weapons are all used up, and then launch a general charge against you to defeat you in one fell swoop.
Commander Cao then asked:
"Old Xu, so the tactics you adopted today are actually those of the Baotou Nation?"
Xu Tianxing smiled and said:
"Of course. After all, the weapons Comrade Lin Sanqi brought back are to be used by our Snow Region Army. Whether the weapons are good or bad, and whether they can meet the needs of the battlefield, all need to be tested in actual combat.
I will use the turtle tactic to deal with Lin Sanqi, not taking the initiative to attack, and breaking the whole into small pieces. Then it depends on how Lin Sanqi breaks the deadlock.
If you don't attack, then just wasting time like this will be disadvantageous to the Red side, because you have invested more and need to annihilate the enemy more urgently, and you can't afford to delay.
But if you, the Red Army, want to attack, you have to cross the mountains and advance along the hillside, and then you may fall into our encirclement, and we can surround and attack you. "
The other uniformed officers nodded slightly and looked at the big screen, thinking that this battle was a bit disgusting, like a quagmire.
Only Commander Cao was not worried at all. Instead, he crossed his legs and looked at everyone as if they were a group of fools.
I thought their drones were designed to target this kind of turtle tactics.
Still hiding? I'm here to collect you~~~
At the Red Army's temporary headquarters, Lin Sanqi was quite relaxed. Sitting on the all-terrain vehicle, he looked at the drone camera and said with a smile:
"Want to hide? That's not that easy. Everyone, pay attention. According to the pre-deployment, all teams will immediately arrive at the designated positions and begin fighting in a grid-like manner.
Also, please note that your primary goal is to eliminate the enemies within your own grid. Once you have eliminated them, go support other colleagues. Don't fly around like a headless chicken."
Lin Sanqi had already purchased Mountain B yesterday using a drone and divided it into grids.
One grid corresponds to one drone fleet.
A drone team consists of 30 drones, including the Yunying-3 drone, which is equipped with synthetic aperture radar and optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment, and can also carry bombs, making it a multi-purpose drone.
In addition, some offensive drones are equipped with automatic rifles, and some are equipped with mortar shells. These shells can even easily destroy T80 tanks and armored vehicles. The Russian army has the most experience with this.
In fact, this time Lin Sanqi also bought an extra batch of thermobaric bombs from the Middle East. If this wasn't a drill, Lin Sanqi would have had an easier time fighting this battle. He could just drop thermobaric bombs on any enemy group he saw, and the enemy wouldn't be able to hide anywhere.
In less than 5 minutes, the drone swarm arrived at the designated location.
Lin Sanqi's headset issued a confirmation order: "Report to the commander, the blue army has been spotted."
The Blue Army soldiers hiding on the snow-capped mountains and in the piles of rocks all blinked their stupid yet clear eyes, looking at the drones circling in the sky.
Lin Sanqi's command-level drone had already spotted the Blue Army, so he said with a smile:
"Attention, all teams, you may begin the attack now."
On the ground of Mountain A, a row of 30 soldiers operating drones sat together, and several soldiers flying reconnaissance planes were already providing guidance.
Platoon leader Dai Mingliang issued a clear order:
"Everyone, please pay attention. We now have five platoon-level units within our grid. Ten of you will form two teams and fly over each of these five platoons. Each drone will drop four mortar shells.
The machine gunner was ready. If the Blue Army followed the rules of the exercise and thought they were killed, that was it.
But I guess some people don't want to die, so they'll definitely flee in all directions. Machine gunners, chase them and beat them hard."
"yes!!!"
Subsequently, 10 drones separated from the main air force and flew towards several enemy platoons scattered around.
If someone spots a drone flying in the sky decades later, they will definitely run away, or at least find a way to hide.
But this was the 1960s, and no one had ever seen a drone. The blue army soldiers in several platoons within the grid looked up at the sky curiously, and some platoons even didn't notice that the drone had flown overhead.
After arriving at their positions, Platoon Leader Dai gave the order: "Drop bombs!"
Swish, swish, swish, a total of 40 mortar shells began to be thrown down. At this time, the blue army on the ground felt the danger coming, and the platoon leaders exclaimed:
"The enemy is dropping bombs, scatter and take cover!!!"
But it was too late.
A 120mm mortar shell generally weighs 3 kilograms and has an effective killing radius of about 40 meters, which is equivalent to 5,000 square meters.
If 40 mortar shells are dropped like this, an area of 200,000 square meters can be directly bombed, which is equivalent to more than 300 acres of land.
This has a huge destructive effect on ground forces.
For a moment, the Blue Army's position was in chaos, with people falling to the ground and many people cursing.
They are all veterans, so they naturally know what it means to be hit by a shell in the crowd.
However, since this was an exercise, the shells did not explode. According to regulations, after you dropped a bomb, the command center would confirm that a certain number of soldiers within the range had "died" and then withdraw from the exercise.
A senior military officer noticed the problem. (End of this chapter)
