Chapter 228: The attack started. Who the hell is so wicked?
Return to the Blue Army camp from the directorate.
The entire camp became bustling with activity. As Chen Mo had stayed in the special forces brigade for too long, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning when he returned.
The railway heavy equipment led by Gao Jin and Liu Heli has arrived.
Around the base, rows of military green tents rise from the ground, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The air was filled with the strong smell of military-standard diesel, which was simply explosive. More than a dozen refueling points were working in a tense and orderly manner, and the logistics sergeant team was operating the No. 22 nozzle high-pressure refueling spray gun.
In three minutes, the tank's two main and auxiliary fuel tanks of 400+300 liters can be filled.
The nearby commands, the sound of the fuel tank being closed, the sound of unscrewing the protective lock of the thickened composite armored fuel tank at the rear of the tank, and the sound of the high-pressure oil gun spraying diesel were all intertwined together.
Looking around, tanks were constantly driving past more than a dozen refueling points and lined up in an orderly manner.
The 12/200ZL water-cooled turbo pulse-charged diesel engine roars continuously.
The shocking roar shook the earth and the sky.
Under the scorching sun, a group of fully fueled Type 96 heavy tanks gathered together. The green paint job of the high-horsepower steel machinery blended in with the gray color of Qinglong Gorge.
The muddy ground and the bumpy ride of the vehicle increased the friction between the ZGMn13 high-manganese steel tracks and the six pairs of road wheels. Combined with the roar of the engine, it felt as if the entire world had turned into an ocean driven by a torrent of steel.
This is the commander’s greatest confidence.
After Chen Mo got off the cabin, he kept staring at the refueling and assembly scene, watching the armored group, rocket group, mechanized infantry group, and aviation group gradually gather.
Forming a huge open space land group.
He then clapped his hands, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the command vehicle confidently.
He boasted to the chief in the directorate for a long time, saying that he had single-handedly cut off the Blue Army Division's battle deployment, and he almost patted his chest.
The reason why we can make such a guarantee is that the source of our confidence is the equipment of the Blue Army Camp.
Tonight, War Zone No. 7 will be the first to start the battle.
By then, the 61st Division will not only have to guard against the Blue Army Camp, but also against the surprise attack of the 139th Division. This battle should not be as difficult as imagined.
Wait until Chen Mo comes to the command vehicle.
Gao Jin, Liu Heli and others had already pulled down the sun-proof net from the roof of the command vehicle and set up a simple tent.
Seeing that all the officers of the squad were present, Chen Mo walked into the tent, looked at Liang Hongjie and said, "We'll distribute glucose and Huoxiang Zhengqi water to each squad based on the number of people. It's too hot here."
"Resist during the day and take action at night. Don't let your guard down."
"So soon?"
Gao Jin was stunned when he heard about the action. He had just brought the team here to meet up and was not clear about the reconnaissance arrangements last night.
"We have to hurry. We only have the equipment for one battalion. Once the full-scale exercise starts, we won't have a chance."
Chen Mo smiled. Before he could ask, Dudu, who was sitting under the tent, spoke first: "The eight groups that set out yesterday are all back now. The reconnaissance situation is better than we expected."
As he spoke, Captain Cheng walked into the command vehicle, took out another topographic map, spread it on the table, and quickly circled a few points with a pencil. He said, "The scholar's analysis is correct."
"From the east to the northwest and then to the south, the Blue Army Division's fuel and heavy equipment are basically stationed around the Seventh War Zone."
"During our reconnaissance last night, due to the environment, our personnel were relatively close. Apart from marking Areas 2 and 7, we didn't find any Blue Army bases."
"The remaining six marked points all showed signs of Blue Army activity."
"The most complex one is Marker Point 3. Within a three-kilometer radius, there are three Blue Army battalions stationed there: two tank battalions and one mechanized infantry battalion."
"The densely packed company-level garrisons around here are almost filling up this area."
"Marker point number three?"
Upon hearing the news of the reconnaissance, Chen Mo immediately took out the map he carried with him from his pocket.
After finding the location of the mark, he frowned.
This marked point is located northwest of the Blue Army Camp, on the main tactical line where the enemy artillery regiment is gathering and heading south to join the anti-aircraft artillery and infantry regiments.
Whether it is to protect fuel supplies or to send troops directly south to the main battlefield, it is the best tactical point.
Chen Mo had never intended to list this kind of place as the main area of attack from the beginning.
There is no other reason, it is just too obvious, so obvious that the Blue Army Division will definitely send heavy troops to guard it. It is a pass that must be strictly defended.
With the firepower of the Blue Army Battalion, if they fire a shot, the other side might react and fire back more than ten shots.
This is a hard bone that is not easy to chew.
But Chen Mo is the stubborn type, and he feels itchy when he hears about fat meat.
"Where's Captain Zhou?"
After pondering for a long time, Chen Mo looked up at Cheng Dong.
"He's probably resting. He didn't sleep last night and waited until all the reconnaissance teams returned before going to rest."
Cheng Dong responded without thinking. After all, Zhou Xiao was the battalion commander of the division reconnaissance battalion, and the burden on him was much heavier than that of Chen Mo and the others.
Naturally, they are more concerned about the Blue Army Division’s fuel sector and main battalion base.
"Wake him up and tell him we have something to discuss." Chen Mo waved his hand and rolled up the map again.
He walked around the tent with a serious expression on his face.
Anyone could see that Captain Chen was interested in marker point number three.
Cheng Dong is a practical man. He doesn't care where to hit, as long as he hits. He gets up and goes to find Zhou Xiao.
But they were not the only two people in the tent.
Deputy Battalion Chief Gao Jin, Political Instructor Liu Heli, and Rocket Team Captain Wang Jianbin saw through Chen Mo's thoughts.
The three of them looked at each other. Even though they didn't understand what was happening at first, they could figure it out after listening for so long.
Gao Jin spoke first, "Captain Chen, I just heard you discussing this with Captain Cheng. I understand that since Site 3 is where the Blue Army Division's heavy equipment is concentrated, I think it would be prudent for us to reconsider it."
"What are you considering?" Chen Mo was stunned when he heard that.
When asked this, Gao Jin, who had spoken, was a little confused: "Thinking about attacking Site No. 3."
"Don't think about it. I didn't plan to fight there. To be more precise, I didn't plan for us to fight there."
Chen Mo's smile remained on his face. He distributed cigarettes to a few people and then sat on the bench. He already had a detailed offensive plan in his mind.
"Then who should go and fight?" Gao Jin took the cigarette, his mind still not wrapping its head around it.
Just at this moment.
Cheng Dong hurried over, leading Zhou Xiao, who still looked sleepy.
Battalion Commander Zhou saw two colonels suddenly appear in the tent.
He almost thought he was half asleep. He rubbed his eyes, then stood at attention and saluted, "Comrade Colonel, Commander Zhou Xiao of the Reconnaissance Battalion of the 139th Division of the 47th Army has arrived to report. Please give me your instructions!"
"It's okay, they're all family." Chen Mo stood up and pointed at Gao Jin. Liu Heli said, "These are Captain Gao and Instructor Liu from our Information Battalion."
"Our battalion is quite special. The cadres are all assigned by the military region."
"Haha, Captain Zhou, please sit down. Please sit down." Liu Heli brought another chair.
Several people sat down one after another.
Gao Jin and Liu Heli are both veteran cadres of the General Staff. If they didn't understand what Chen Mo meant when he said he would not mark point No. 3, what did he mean?
Now, seeing Captain Zhou coming over, everything became clear.
After everyone sat down, Chen Mo briefly explained the director's intentions, which did not cause much discussion.
Originally, according to the mobility of each unit, almost all the units participating in the exercise would be able to arrive this afternoon.
Even if there is a delay, it is because some units did not prepare well enough and it has nothing to do with the overall mobility plan.
After all, the 139th was so far away that the entire division could arrive in the afternoon, and the same could be said for other units.
"Based on last night's reconnaissance, let's assign the tasks."
After Chen Mo finished explaining the directorate's intentions, he got straight to the point: "According to last night's reconnaissance, there are no enemy troops stationed at the eight marked points, except for No. 2 and No. 7."
"The remaining No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 8 are all garrisoned by the main battalion or company-level units of the Blue Army Division."
"I plan to launch a raid on these marked points tonight. Everyone, if you have any suggestions, please bring them up now so we can discuss them together."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the battlefield tent looked at each other but no one responded.
It's not that I don't have any opinions.
But the Blue Army Camp only has this little wealth and is also being watched by the directorate. No one says anything about matters concerning the combat plan, even if Chen Mo is wrong.
Because no one wants to bear the consequences of the experimental camp's casualties.
It’s fine to chat and argue casually, but since Chen Mo said “assign tasks”, no one will make different suggestions.
Chen Mo simply didn't plan to seek advice from others. Instead, he looked at Zhou Xiao and said, "Captain Zhou, can your division reconnaissance battalion follow along?"
"No problem. The order from our division headquarters is to cooperate with all military operations of your information battalion."
Zhou Xiao responded quickly.
After analyzing the situation of the Blue Army Division with Captain Chen last night, he had no objection to this cooperation.
There is no other reason, he is a cadre who can analyze the enemy's strategic objectives, heavy mobile routes, fuel sectors, assembly routes, and main camp locations with just a small amount of intelligence.
There are only a few people like him in the entire 139th Division’s staff. You won’t suffer any loss if you cooperate with such people.
What's more, there is an order from the headquarters.
"OK."
Chen Mo nodded.
"Captain Cheng."
"arrive!"
"Captain Wang."
"arrive!"
"Staff Officer Feng."
"arrive!"
Cheng Dong, Wang Jianbin, and combat staff officer Feng Guoqing stood at attention.
"After the meeting, the Arrow Company will draw ten people, the Reconnaissance Company will draw fifty people, and the Battalion Staff will select five people."
"Each group consists of twelve people, using a 10+2+1 formation, divided into five groups in total."
"The first team, led by Staff Officer Feng, will assist the First Company of the Division Reconnaissance Battalion in deploying Tactical Point 1."
"Team Two, led by Captain Wang, is responsible for assisting the First Platoon of the Second Company of the Military Reconnaissance Battalion with the deployment of Tactical Point 4."
"The third team, led by Captain Cheng, is responsible for assisting the second platoon of the second company of the Military Reconnaissance Battalion with the deployment of tactical point 5."
"Team Four, led by Platoon Liang, is responsible for assisting the Third Platoon of the Second Company of the Military Reconnaissance Battalion with the deployment of Tactical Point 6."
"Team Five, led by Wang Jianyong, will go to Mark Point 8 and lead the tactical sniper team."
"Planning points, using helicopters from the Army Aviation Brigade to deploy scouts, and placing booby traps, anti-tank mines, and communication jammers in the areas designated for the points."
"Remember, the mission of the first four groups is to lie in wait for the enemy, and then launch a sabotage attack on their communications equipment and reconnaissance radar!"
"Fifth Group, select comrades with good marksmanship from the reconnaissance company. Subject: Field assassination. Target: All lower-level commanders of the Blue Army Division. Requirements: None, no time limit. Until all of you are killed in combat or the exercise is over."
"Is that clear?"
"clear!!"
The cadres who received the order shouted in unison.
The reconnaissance company and staff have all participated in training at the base, so some technical operations are not too difficult for them.
But it seems that everyone has a task.
Even the two companies under his command were sent out, but he was the only one left without any assignment.
Zhou Xiao was a little anxious. He stood up and said, "Captain Chen, this is not right."
"The first and second companies in the battalion have cooperated with you. What about me?"
"Don't worry, Captain Zhou." Chen Mo smiled and stood up, patting Zhou Xiao on the shoulder. "The area you are responsible for is the most important. Marker Number Three is now handed over to you."
"But remember, the Blue Army has the most main forces in this area. We will only harass, not attack. It's best to sneak into the camp and carry out assassinations at close range like Group 5 did. Don't make too much noise."
"Any questions?"
"No, there's no problem at all."
Zhou Xiao waved his palm, which was as big as a palm leaf fan, and responded very quickly.
There are no fools here.
Marker point No. 3 seems to have the largest enemy force, but the other five locations have been infiltrated by the Information Battalion, which has planted booby traps and blocked communications.
Accidents happened simultaneously in several important places, and the entire Blue Army Division was in a panic tonight.
The Blues are indeed the host, they are indeed very strong and very familiar with the terrain.
But it is impossible to suppress the abnormalities occurring in so many places at the same time.
No one asked Chen Mo what he was doing.
Because there is no need to ask.
The Blue Army Division has so many important assembly points, and the main camp has been attacked and its communications have been cut off. A large number of reinforcements must be mobilized nearby.
Chen Mo only needs to take the main force and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out on the linear battlefield connecting the Blue Army Division's eastern line and the northwest line, and he can then eliminate a lot of reinforcements.
During night raids, the targets were never the eight marked points detected during reconnaissance.
Instead, after the garrisons at these marked points lose contact, reinforcements can be quickly mobilized from the surrounding areas.
The Blue Army Battalion has drones, radars, and air-to-ground firepower.
As long as the arrangements are made properly, the Blue Army Advisor will definitely suffer a great loss.
The meeting was disbanded.
This is the first real confrontation that the Blue Army Camp has had in all these long training sessions.
The cadres of each team began to mobilize with all their strength.
The reconnaissance company, division reconnaissance battalion, battalion staff, rocket-propelled troops and other personnel responsible for breaking up the raid began to recuperate.
10pm on the 9th.
The sun in Qinglong Gorge was so strong that it hurt our skin during the day, and there was a sandstorm at night, but fortunately, it was not as strong as the strong wind last night.
Fifteen Z-9 helicopters from the Blue Army Battalion's Aviation Brigade were launched simultaneously, and with several groups of personnel, they began to maneuver towards the predetermined marked point.
Because there were too many people, it was impossible to transport so many people in one trip, so we had to do it in batches.
On the battlefield covered with yellow sand, the armed helicopters flew almost close to the ground.
Low-altitude flying is one of the means to reduce radar reconnaissance predictions.
One by one, group members were sent by helicopter to a place more than ten kilometers away from the marking point.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company and the division reconnaissance battalion, carrying equipment and 85 sniper rifles, quickly disappeared into the night.
The helicopter responsible for transporting them quickly turned around and flew back with all its might, its speed many times faster than before, which was cautious.
Anyway, there is no need to worry about being detected by the radar, because it will not come to this direction again.
The Blue Army Camp was busy transporting troops to the front line.
The senior non-commissioned officer in the radar duty room of the 2nd Battalion of the 61st Armored Regiment stared at the warning on the screen for a long time before shaking his head.
"Damn! Red Army, why don't you fly forward a little more?"
"The missiles are ready and waiting for you. Damn it, why did you run away?"
The Blue Army Sergeant's face was filled with disappointment.
He did not realize that this was an action of the Information Battalion, and thought that the Red Army of the Seventh War Zone had begun to take action.
In fact, even if he knew that the Red Army was sending scouts here, he didn't care, because this was normal.
Their Blue Army Division is also constantly deploying scouts to the Seventh War Zone. When it comes to fighting, the tactics are all the same.
Of course, no matter how normal it is, the sergeant still reported the situation here to the regiment combat duty room.
After careful consideration, the regiment reported to the division headquarters.
Darkness enveloped the entire camp.
11:30 at night.
Inside the temporary base of the Night Tiger Company of the 182nd Regiment of the Blue Army Division, the entire base was quiet, without a single sound.
After a day and night of maneuvering, their Sixth Company, except for the necessary guards, all other officers and soldiers had already fallen asleep.
But Chen Mo was not the only one who could calculate information such as the Blue Army Division's baggage area, assembly point, and transportation lines.
Wang Songhe, the commander of the Type A division of the 61st Division, is no pushover.
On the morning of the 8th, the Blue Army Battalion led by Chen Mo had not yet arrived at Qinglong Gorge, but the staff group led by Division Commander Wang had already calculated the enemy's mobile route to reach the Seventh War Zone based on the headquarters of the 139th Red Army Division.
The 6th Night Tiger Company was assigned by the division headquarters to dig trenches and build tank cones on the route that the Red Army division had to take to specifically disrupt its maneuvers.
Don't ask why.
The question is war, and we must use any means necessary.
And this is also allowed by the director's department, because real war is often accompanied by various unpredictable accidents.
This little trick may seem insignificant, but a Night Tiger Company managed to disrupt the advance speed of a mechanized infantry battalion and a logistics detachment of the Red Army on the mobile route.
This resulted in a large number of tanks being grounded.
In the end, a mechanized infantry battalion could only gather one company of people to ride in tanks and arrive at the designated location within the specified time.
The remaining two companies were all declared lost due to their late arrival.
This also resulted in Ye Lao Hu not being idle for a whole day and night, and everyone was exhausted.
About 11:40.
Suddenly, a lieutenant appeared in the originally quiet camp. He looked hurried and held toilet paper in his hand. He came to the simple field toilet 300 meters away from the base.
Urgent, very urgent!
After running around outside all day, he could handle the mosquitoes that almost ate him when he slept, but he couldn't handle the diarrhea.
There is still a mission tomorrow.
The lieutenant was only thinking about going to the toilet quickly and going back to sleep, watching him take off his pants.
The white and tender buttocks were just placed on the wooden tank, ready to burst out.
Bang!
A gunshot was heard without warning.
The lieutenant's eyes widened and he felt his chest vibrate. The next second, white smoke began to emit from the sensor.
What the hell? ! !
Am I being sniped?
Sniping someone while they are in the toilet, damn, no one would do such a wicked thing, right?
But I don’t know whether ghosts are immoral.
It was not far from the 6th Company of Night Tiger, in the 2nd Company’s base.
The company commander had just finished his patrol and felt a slight urge to urinate.
When he took it out and started to spread it with all his might.
Bang!
The familiar sound of 85 sniper rifle rang out.
The company commander looked stunned, his urge to urinate was abruptly stopped, and his face was filled with shock.
Damn it, who the hell is so wicked as to lie in ambush near the toilet?
The gunshots quickly alarmed the entire camp.
The Blue Army soldier, who was sleeping, rushed out of the tent with his pants up, looking for traces of the enemy.
After everyone learned what had happened, their faces turned blue with anger.
As if running wild, he began to look around for the damn sniper.
Searching and cursing at the same time.
If I catch him, I'll make him eat the tank alive.
No more diesel.
Damn, I've seen wicked people, but I've never seen anyone who specifically shoots people while they're in the bathroom.
This is not a matter of war, it's so fucking infuriating.
