The solemn car quickly arrived at the Niutou Ridge area and followed the sound of gunfire to the tactical confrontation site.
This site is very large, because this area is an exclusive area provided for each battalion and company to conduct mountain, forest, and urban operations.
There are not only hilly areas and mountain forest areas here, but also highlands such as A/B/C/D/E/F. These highlands all have defensive fortifications and trenches. Here, corresponding defensive positions can be deployed according to offensive and defensive needs, such as hybrid mines.
Field, comprehensive obstacle course, etc.
In the past, battalion-level actual combat confrontations within the 433rd Brigade were held here.
Today is the day for the actual military confrontation between the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion.
Three months have passed and the standings for the first quarter are out.
Wang Liansheng, commander of the first battalion, and He Nan, deputy commander of the second battalion, entered the finals together.
There is no longer any need for electronic force selection. The finals are all about actual force confrontation, with one person commanding a battalion and drawing lots to choose offense and defense.
Wang Liansheng drew a defensive side this time, and He Nan chose an attacking side.
In the 433rd Brigade, Wang Liansheng's command expertise was well-known, and this time he was drawn to the defending side, which gave him an even greater advantage.
His style is somewhat similar to that of brigade commander Wan Xiangdong. His command is calm, and he is very consistent with his commanding temperament when serving on the defensive side.
Therefore, most people believe that the champion of this quarter must be Wang Liansheng, and no one can break through the iron wall he has set up.
Zhuang Yan got out of the car, without wearing a coat, and walked towards the tent of the guidance group in his shirt.
The command and control team's tent is on a piece of grass by the roadside. The battlefield is about ten kilometers away. The battle situation is monitored by on-site monitoring and countermeasures systems.
When Zhuang Yan walked outside the tent, two sentries on guard saw a man without military rank but wearing military trousers and a shirt walking towards him, and they immediately wanted to stop him.
As a result, one of the veterans recognized Zhuang Yan and was startled, his eyes rounding up.
"Don't make any noise!"
Zhuang Yan smiled at them and gave an order.
The veteran quickly shut up and remained silent.
Zhuang Yan walked straight towards the large tent of the guidance team. Another recruit standing guard looked at the veteran with confusion on his face and pointed at Zhuang Yan.
"Veteran, who is he?"
The veteran glared at him: "The leader of our army!" The recruit Danzi was also startled and stuck out his tongue.
Zhuang Yan walked into the big tent, and there were already two rows of monitors lined up inside. On them were situation maps of the confrontation between the 1st and 2nd Battalions and some pictures from helmet cameras.
The tent is very big and everyone inside is busy.
The war came to a critical juncture, and no one noticed the solemnity coming in from outside the gate.
Zhuang Yan didn't say anything. He gently pulled a mat and found a corner to sit down.
There is a large physical sandbox in the place closest to him. Although everything is electronic now, the traditional skills of the PLA cannot be lost, so in addition to electronic maps and situation charts for every exercise, the traditional physical sandbox is still used.
However, with the electronic map and sand table, the use of physical sand tables has been greatly reduced. There is only one brigade staff standing there, with his back to solemnity, staring at the instructions in the confrontation system, constantly updating the red and blue sides on the sand table
battlefield situation.
Zhuang Yan stood up and slowly approached the sand table. Without disturbing the staff officer, he stretched his head and took a look at the sand table.
At first glance, I was a little surprised.
As a senior commander, you only need to take a look at the sand table to know who has the upper hand and who is at the disadvantage on the current battlefield.
Judging from the troop deployment and position on the sand table, the 1st Battalion was actually at a disadvantage!
Moreover, the disadvantages are very obvious.
His first line of defense has been completely broken through, and a hole has been ripped open in his second line of defense.
Now, judging from the constantly updated troop positions of this staff officer, the Second Battalion is now in full swing. It has organized its superior forces from the opening on the right side to form an armored cluster and insert itself directly into the rear of the First Battalion. Judging from the speed of advancement,
It was obvious that the troops deployed by the first battalion on the second line of defense had no time to retreat to defend the Stone Town headquarters, so that they could break through the first battalion headquarters in one fell swoop and directly capture the thief and the king.
Staring at the sand table, Zhuang Yan conducted a review in his mind.
Obviously, the second battalion commander's fighting style is very fierce.
Looking at the trajectory of the advance, we can tell that he had no intention of entangled with the first battalion from the beginning. He used frontal feint attacks, creating a fog of confusion with the fire support of drones and rocket launcher units, and then sent elite troops to the right to force a breakthrough, and broke through.
The speed seems very fast, almost without any pause.
He solemnly looked at his watch.
It is already afternoon.
If this confrontation started in the morning, it would have been able to advance to its current position at three o'clock in the afternoon, which meant that the intersecting troops on the right side of the Second Battalion did not even have time to stop for lunch.
This is simply a matter of fighting will and endurance.
There is a limit to the advancement speed of armored forces, let alone when the enemy is heavily blocking it.
Zhuang Yan also noticed that the defensive position originally laid out by the 1st Battalion Commander was considered impregnable, but there was only one area on the right where the density of the Dragon Tooth Obstacle Field was slightly sparse. The 2nd Battalion chose to make a breakthrough there, which was obviously very important for battlefield reconnaissance.
excellent.
The first battalion is the main battalion of 433.
It is also the oldest and most glorious battalion in the history of the 433rd Army.
In my impression, the Second Battalion was a relatively weak battalion.
Among the four battalions, the combat effectiveness of the second battalion ranked second to last.
What happened this time?
Surprisingly, the salted fish turned over?
Directly overthrow Wang Liansheng's main camp?
Zhuang Yan was suddenly very interested in the commander of the second battalion.
Li Zheng previously proposed this confrontational elimination mechanism, and many people questioned whether it would be effective. If the current commander of the second battalion is not the original battalion commander, then it means that Li Zheng's "Challenger Plan" has really achieved some results.
of.
At this time, the staff officer responsible for operating the sand table suddenly turned around and saw the solemnity behind him.
For a moment, he was a little confused.
Who?
You didn't even put on your military uniform. You were still wearing regular uniforms, not camouflage uniforms, so you ran into the big tent of the command and control team?
When I looked again, my heart skipped a beat and almost jumped into my mouth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Army——"
"Shh!"
Zhuang Yan said: "Don't make a fuss."
After saying that, he walked up to the sand table and lowered his head to look at the sand table.
The staff officer asked cautiously: "The chief, the brigade commander's political commissar and the chief of staff are all over there."
As he spoke, he pointed to the other end of the big tent.
I saw Li Zheng, Wan Xiangdong and political commissar Wang Wei sitting in a row, looking up at the monitor in front of them.
Zhuang Yan said: "No, I'll just take a look."
After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, who is commanding the first battalion? Who is commanding the second battalion now?"
When the staff officer heard that the chief asked about this, he suddenly became interested and said with a light in his eyes: "Chief, you won't believe it. This time we simulated confrontation selection in stages. Wang Liansheng, the commander of the first battalion, and He, the deputy battalion commander of the second battalion.
Nan entered the finals. Everyone originally thought that Battalion Commander Wang would win, but unexpectedly, Deputy Battalion Commander He's performance today simply exceeded the level of any previous confrontation, with a completely overwhelming attack..."
As he spoke, he excitedly pointed to the movement track of the Second Battalion on the sand table and said: "Look, the confrontation exercise started at 6 o'clock in the morning, entered the starting position at 7 o'clock, and started fighting at 7:20. After that, the Second Battalion conducted a two-hour feint attack and artillery fire.
The preparation lasted for an hour, and they fully engaged in tactical deception and ordered the first battalion to move the main force to the front. Unexpectedly, they suddenly used one of their tank companies and two infantry companies as sharp knives to bypass the strongest defense of the front battalion.
Breaking through from the weak right side of the defense line, it took just over four hours to break through to the second line of defense. The main force of the 1st Battalion began to return to fill the second line of defense, trying to deploy to the right side to withstand the sharp knife of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion.
, Unexpectedly, the Second Company of the Second Battalion actually penetrated directly between the main force of the First Battalion and the First Company of the Second Battalion, and blocked it. Now the Second Battalion has broken through the second line of defense. It seems... the First Battalion is here.
The next disaster is worse. As long as the sharp knife of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion can penetrate into Shitou Town, and several tank companies and infantry companies of the 1st Battalion on the main defense line are entangled and unable to escape, they can only rely on the town's security platoon and
The staff officers at the battalion headquarters fought tooth and nail..."
The young staff officer was beaming as he spoke, excited and happy.
After all, he had been bored to death until this morning. He had been standing here updating the situation, but none of the brigade commanders came to take a look. They only looked at the big screens.
Now that the head of the group army came in person to explain it to him, the level was suddenly raised a lot.
Even now, he is unwilling to inform the brigade commander that Zhuang Yan is coming.
