Chapter 5 Two Second Class Merits?!
The military attaches great importance to this big show at the beginning of the year.
Chief Lin personally led the team to Night City to ensure that this exercise could achieve the expected results.
The confrontation between the two armies was much more complicated than the exercise between the special operations brigades in Queshan.
This exercise will further test the troop deployment and logistical support capabilities of both sides.
The reason why the exercise area was set in the northwest was, firstly, because there were fewer people on the roads during this period, and secondly, to test the mobility of each unit in extreme environments.
We are all ace, what you have I have too.
Your special operations brigade is unparalleled in killing, and my protection system is invincible; you have a self-propelled artillery regiment, and I have an organized drone swarm; you have the home advantage, and I have the best logistics team in the entire army.
Under such circumstances, it is no longer realistic to imagine that Queshan could win by beheading the enemy's headquarters as he did that time.
Your Wolf Brigade can move freely in the northwest, but once I turn on my all-round radar, do you dare to show your head?
The same is true in reverse. The headquarters of the 76th Army stood carelessly in the Gobi Desert, but not only the Red Army's scouts, but even a red bird couldn't fly over!
To put it bluntly, in a confrontation of this scale, it is almost impossible for a small force to change the overall situation.
But precisely because of this, when the command and control team discovered that a five-man squad of the Red Army had advanced thousands of kilometers on the map overnight, heading directly for a high-altitude military station of the Blue Army, a group of bigwigs immediately became interested.
"Commander Lin, I protest!"
Suddenly, a leader wearing glasses stood up from his chair. It was Luo Jian from the 76th Group Army.
Before Commander Lin could say anything, Zhuang Shisi, deputy commander of the 75th Group Army, who was sitting across from him, sneered, "What do you have to protest about? There are so many of us watching. You're not trying to say our men broke the rules, are you?"
For this exercise, the military required the red and blue sides to send one person each to serve as a member of the command and coordination group. Unexpectedly, both sides sent their deputy chiefs.
Commander Lin got a headache when he saw these two guys. They were notoriously difficult to deal with in the entire army!
"What's going on? What's going on? They started arguing right from the start of the damn exercise. How many times have they argued since then?" Commander Lin said angrily, "Luo Jian, what do you want to say?"
"Commander Lin, the Tianshui Naval Station did not participate in this exercise due to its special geographical location. We did not distribute equipment to the people in the station, and they didn't know about it." Luo Jian said truthfully.
"That's strange! Could it be that this military station doesn't belong to your 76th Army?" Zhuang Shisan didn't want Luo Jian to interfere with the command and control team's judgment. "And you say it's a special geographical location? What's so special about it? How come I don't know?"
"Damn, you like to interrupt so much. How about I let you be the commander-in-chief?" Commander Lin got angry and glared at Zhuang Shisan and cursed.
Zhuang Shisan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, Chief Lin, please continue. I'll shut up!"
Chief Lin was still furious: "You're in your sixties, but you're still acting like a new recruit! You're both chiefs, but have you ever thought about why you're only deputy chief?"
Luo Jian: ???
No, did Chief Lin scold me as well?
"Luo Jian!"
"arrive!"
"You mentioned the unique geographical location of the Sweetwater Marine Station. I acknowledge that. You also mentioned not notifying the station staff to participate in the exercise, which I understand."
Commander Lin looked at Luo Jian and said, "But that's your unit after all. Since the 75th Army has come all the way here, you can't just ask them to abandon the operation just because you didn't notify them of the exercise, right?"
Luo Jian knew he was in the wrong. Ultimately, it was his own fault. However, he had just figured out why the 75th Army had chosen to target the Tianshui Marine Station. He definitely couldn't let them succeed, so he said:
"Commander Lin, it's just a military station, not an important location. They can just change their target!
Besides, there are only two soldiers guarding the mountain all year round. The cold and snowy weather is hard enough. If they are captured by the 75th Army, you can imagine how much of a blow it would be to their physical and mental health. I really can't bear it! "
This is the beginning of playing the emotional card.
Commander Lin is aware of the situation at the Tianshui Marine Station.
After all, this place is known as one of the border defense units with the highest altitude and the most difficult conditions, and it is often reported.
To be honest, Luo Jian's words also touched him. Putting himself in their shoes, he thought that two soldiers who were already enduring loneliness and hardship were suddenly attacked by the Red Army from the opposite camp. It must have been a huge blow.
"Thirteen, what do you say?" Chief Lin looked at Zhuang Shisan again.
Zhuang Shisan knew that Chief Lin's question was a sign of sympathy, so he quickly stood up and said, "Chief Lin, you can't be fooled by that bastard Luo Jian!"
Chief Lin was stunned: "Oh? What do you mean?"
"Tianshui Marine Station is very important. It is a target unit that our Red Army must control in this exercise!"
"If it's so important, why are the Blues so defenseless?"
"That's because they didn't realize it before!"
Commander Lin was even more puzzled. "From what I hear, you know your own depot better than the 76th Army does?"
"I don't understand, but our military's latest AI knows!"
Zhuang Shisan smiled. "As long as we input the currently known troop deployments of both sides, the system will automatically calculate the locations of key nodes."
Luo Jian's face darkened. "Zhuang Bi, you're fucking cheating!"
Zhuang Shisan glared, "Fuck! It's not like you haven't used it before. You probably use it more often than we do. Otherwise, how did they find our air defense regiment the day before yesterday?"
Commander Lin didn't bother to listen to the two guys' quarrel. He led the others to the large screen and said, "Enter the location of the Tianshui Naval Base into the system, as well as the troop deployments of the Red and Blue forces. Set the time nodes and start reverse-calculating the changes in the battle situation."
"yes!"
The data from the guidance and coordination team is much more comprehensive than that obtained by the red and blue sides respectively.
As soon as the operations staff typed the command on the keyboard, the screen scrolled quickly and the result appeared a few seconds later.
The bosses were all surprised.
"It turns out the 76th Army is going to conduct a secret march tonight. Two mobile reinforcement brigades are rushing to the Pangong Lake area overnight!"
"They were supposed to stop at Sanshili Barracks to resupply, right? Why didn't the Red Army intercept this information?"
"Why didn't they intercept it? Didn't you see that the squadron from the infiltration company is almost reaching the Sweetwater Sea?"
"Are you confused? This team set out yesterday, and at that time the Blue Army hadn't even decided to deploy troops! I guess the Blue Army sent a messenger hundreds of kilometers to the military depot to notify them!"
"Right! So the Red Army used AI to calculate this in advance?"
Commander Lin looked at the analysis results on the screen without saying a word, but he was also quite surprised.
According to the calculation results, if the action team of the 75th Army really captured the Tianshui Marine Station, as long as the communication was destroyed during the time when the two mobile brigades of the Blue Army arrived nearby, it would inevitably delay their advance speed, and thus the advantage of the entire battle situation would slowly shift to the Red Army.
Looking back from a global perspective, Tianshui Sea may really become the deciding factor in the entire exercise!
Now, everyone's interest was piqued.
"Quick, send the video of the 75th Army Action Team over here!" someone shouted immediately.
Soon, several pictures appeared on the screen in front of everyone. It seemed that everyone was still in the car. According to the map, these people were almost reaching Tianshui Sea.
. . .
. . .
Inside the Tianshui Marine Station, Yi Cheng had already been taken away, and Zhou Qiang was talking on the phone with Xu Ge at this time.
"Xu Ge, the stuff has been delivered, right? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Xu Ge's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Stationmaster, I plan to have a meal in town and then do some shopping. Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this route and will be back before dark!"
"Then you must not run around!" Zhou Qiang warned again.
Laughter rang out from the other end of the phone: "Stationmaster, look at what you said, you really treat me like a child? Don't worry, I will call you if anything happens!"
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiang stood there in a daze for a while.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Xu Ge's voice had become much brighter... To be more precise, it seemed as if the kid's humanity had returned!
Didi!
A horn sounded outside the door.
Zhou Qiang was a little puzzled. Didn't Yi Cheng just leave? Who could be coming here at this time?
When I got to the door, I saw a truck parked next to the gate, and several people were jumping out of the truck.
"Hello, brother! I heard that we can stay here, right?" When Tian Xiaohu saw Zhou Qiang coming out, he hurried over to offer him a cigarette.
Zhou Qiang waved his hand to refuse, took a look at the license plate, and said with some surprise: "You came from the snowy area? Good boy, I heard it snowed a lot over there!"
"you do not say!"
Tian Xiaohu nodded and said, "If there is no important work, who would want to go out in this weather!
Well, I don't know what's wrong with my car, and I need to get it repaired later, so I thought I'd stay here for the night. I don't dare to go any further! "
Zhou Qiang looked at the others with a puzzled look on his face: "You five are out here working together?"
"The three of us are together. The other two are just hitchhiking to Xinjiang. We take turns driving. The car keeps going even when we're resting!" Tian Xiaohu said casually.
Since these five people were quite professional in disguise, had been engaged in investigation for many years, and had good acting skills, they really fooled Zhou Qiang.
"You can stay at my place. It's 40 yuan per person, and boiled water and instant noodles are 10 yuan!"
"No problem!"
"I don't have a quilt here, but there is heating in the room."
"That's great!"
Tian Xiaohu gave the money, and the five people immediately followed Zhou Qiang in with their bags on their backs, and came to the room specially prepared for passers-by.
"Brother, are you alone in such a big place?" Tian Xiaohu asked.
"One of them went to town to buy something and will be back later. It's just the two of us."
Zhou Qiang reminded them, "We are in the military here, so please stay in your room and don't wander around. Otherwise, don't blame me for chasing you away!"
Several people quickly expressed that they would abide by the rules.
After giving some instructions, Zhou Qiang left, and the five people began to discuss the next action plan in a low voice.
"This old squad leader isn't wearing any equipment, and it looks like there aren't any preparations at the military depot!"
"So they don't know anything about the drill."
"Captain, what should we do? Should we take action?"
"Wait a little longer. I'll find a chance to figure out the location of the communications room during dinner."
They waited until it was almost dark, and when the five people came out of the room, they found that Zhou Qiang had also come over with a cell phone.
Tian Xiaohu frowned. He had a vague feeling that the camera of the other person's phone was facing him. Just as he was about to go forward to test it out, the other person's phone rang.
"Hello? Are you back?"
"Yeah, okay, I know!"
Zhou Qiang hung up the phone and looked at the five people: "The people who went out to buy things are back. Your car is blocking the entrance. Someone go and move the car... Forget it, just drive the truck into the yard."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Tian Xiaohu nodded to the driver: "Go and drive the car in."
"good!"
After the driver followed Zhou Qiang out, Tian Xiaohu immediately waved his hand: "Hurry, find where the computer room is!"
The four men immediately dispersed in the yard.
Tian Xiaohu came to the room that Zhou Qiang had entered before and pushed the door open.
After a quick glance inside the room, I realized that this should be the dormitory for the two soldiers. There were also communication equipment such as telephones and radios on the table.
There are two lower bunks, and the quilt on the inner bed is folded neatly.
Tian Xiaohu was a little surprised. Why was he still folding the quilt in this place?
With doubts, he cast his eyes on the wardrobe beside him, walked over and opened the door, and what came into his sight were several military uniforms of the rank of corporal.
Under the wardrobe is a row of boxes containing military medals.
"What the hell! Two second-class merits?!"
Tian Xiaohu was shocked and felt something was wrong.
How did a corporal with so many military achievements end up in this place?
He hurried back to the bed, bent down and carefully searched for something at the head of the bed, and soon pulled out a study notebook from under the pillow.
The two words "Xu Ge" were clearly written above the name column on the cover.
Tian Xiaohu: ???
"Xu Ge? Which Xu Ge? It can't be the one I know, right?"
"Fuck! I doubt it! Who else but him could have so many military achievements in one year?"
"No, why is this guy here?"
I'm so fucking unlucky!
The next moment, Tian Xiaohu suddenly thought of something and rushed out of the room.
By this time, the other three had finished their search: "Captain, we've found the engine room..."
"Forget about the computer room! Hurry up and call them back... Never mind, it's probably too late. Hurry, hurry, retreat and establish a defensive position!"
Tian Xiaohu pulled out his pistol and returned to the dormitory without saying a word.
The other three team members' faces changed drastically. After they followed in, they each took up their firing positions. One of them then asked, "Captain, what happened?"
Tian Xiaohu wanted to cry but had no tears: "Damn, the other person in this military station is Xu Ge!"
"Which Xu Ge?"
"The new recruit who beat up more than a dozen of us last time at Queshan!"
“What the hell???”
