The gunshot immediately alerted the troops on both sides.
The Borneo officer picked up his binoculars and looked directly at the enemy's position.
They saw that the Chinese troops exercising opposite them were all aiming at them from their respective bunkers.
"???"
“I’m Joe.”
"You fired first, don't blame me!!"
"Attention all personnel! Aim at the troops behind the boundary marker and fire!!"
The leader of the Borneo delegation immediately issued the order to attack.
They belong to the border defense regiment, and they did not bring heavy weapons when they came to provide support.
"Da da da, da da da, da da da."
Light and heavy machine guns and rifles fired directly at the 3rd and 4th Regiments behind the boundary marker.
Upon hearing that Borneo dared to fire first, his face flushed with excitement.
"Comrades, the enemy has launched an attack on us!"
"The time to make a name for ourselves has come!!"
"Beat them!!!"
At that point, there was no time to ask for orders.
As the saying goes, strike first.
The enemy has now launched an attack on their positions.
They fired bullets inside their border.
How could one possibly restrain oneself and ask for permission before attacking at this point?
By then, the daylily will be too cold.
The battalion commander immediately issued the order to retaliate.
They did not bring heavy firepower this time; heavy firepower would require long-range artillery support.
The two sides immediately engaged in a gunfight.
The commotion attracted the attention of Yuan Yi and the soldiers of the first squad who were not far behind.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You just fired a shot?"
Wang Kui looked at Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi nodded: "Didn't you tell me to shoot?"
“Yes!” Wang Kui nodded as well.
Then the two looked at each other again, dumbfounded.
Looking ahead at the battle zone.
The same question arose in both of their minds.
"Could it be that they all thought the gunshots were fired by the other side?"
Wang Kui glanced at Yuan Yi speechlessly.
His eyes seemed to say, "See, this is all your doing."
Yuan Yi blinked innocently, "It wasn't me! I fired a shot because you told me to!"
"Go back quickly."
Wang Kui led Yuan Yi directly from the small hill towards the position.
It wasn't just the two of them; it was also in the command post five kilometers behind.
Yu Guanghui and Zhao Yan were in the command post, looking at the electronic platform in front of them.
They had received orders from their superiors and were preparing to order the 3rd and 4th Regiments to withdraw.
They planned to put on a grand show for the Borneo people to boost their confidence and launch a direct attack, and also to put on a show for other countries in the islands.
While they were showing weakness, did anyone else jump up in protest?
Then they cleaned it all up for them at once.
But things happened so suddenly.
The gunfire ahead immediately drew the attention of everyone in the frontline command post.
"What happened?"
Yu Guanghui asked directly.
"Report! The two opposing forces at the front have now engaged in combat!"
Yu Guanghui and Zhao Yan were both taken aback.
Wasn't this a standoff? How did it suddenly escalate into a firefight?
Zhao Yan walked directly to the side and picked up the communicator.
"This is the regimental headquarters, calling the first battalion."
"Political Commissar, this is the First Battalion."
"What happened?"
"Report! We don't know either. Suddenly, the Borneo people opened fire on us!"
The communications officer quickly handed the communicator to the battalion commander.
The battalion commander reported.
Everyone in the command post naturally heard what the battalion commander said.
"What do we do now?"
Everyone turned their attention to Yu Guanghui.
Yu Guanghui rubbed his head.
What can he do? What can he do?
Plans can't keep up with changes, but since the shooting has already started!
Then act as realistically as possible.
"Give them the task and tell them to withdraw from the border in an orderly manner."
"Pretend you can't withstand their firepower."
"Make them act more convincingly!!"
Yu Guanghui was pleased, as their 226th Division was a combined arms division, except for the border defense regiment under its command.
It is also a field division fully capable of fighting tough battles.
The number of troops under his command is almost twice that of a combined arms brigade, and he has more artillery, tanks and armored vehicles.
Their combined arms divisions can independently carry out long-range deep strikes without the cooperation of other land-based units.
This is one of the reasons why the military region directly appointed him as the frontline commander.
Now that Borneo has fired the first shot, besides completing their mission, they also have other options.
They also served as the vanguard in the attack.
Young soldiers are eager to make contributions, and Yu Guanghui was naturally one of them.
He also longed to achieve great things like his predecessors!
It's important to understand that without war, their level would be difficult to adjust.
In addition to meeting the requirements of merit, a certain number of years of service are also required.
Generally, junior officers gain one star every three years, while field-grade officers gain one star every four years.
After reaching the rank of senior colonel, he wanted to advance to the rank of general.
He has been a senior colonel for four years, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will have to wait to be promoted to general.
But now that they've started fighting with India, all they need to do is fight fast and fiercely.
It's not a problem for him to be promoted to general this year.
·······················
On the front-line defensive position, the battalion commander was dumbfounded after hearing the political commissar's words over the communicator.
