A valley more than 4,000 meters above sea level somewhere on the Tibetan Plateau.
It rained and snowed, and the temperature in May suddenly dropped to minus 3 degrees Celsius. The biting cold wind picked up snow particles as big as the belly of a little finger and hit people's faces like knives, making them breathless.
With the roar of armored vehicles, more than 50 officers and soldiers from the first battalion of a motorized infantry regiment on the plateau of Military Region C drove ten armored vehicles through the icy river. At the same time, an artillery company from another battalion on the other side of the road,
Carrying heavy weapons on his back, he was running wildly on the mountain.
More than twenty minutes later, ten armored vehicles drove into the front of the enemy's position and quickly formed a straight attack formation. The officers and soldiers armed with light weapons jumped out of the tanks like wolves and tigers, quickly got into position, and were ready to attack.
preparation.
However, there was no movement from the artillery company.
According to the plan, the artillery battery will first carry out fire strikes on the enemy positions, and then the infantry and equipment coordinated troops carried by armored vehicles will launch the attack.
So, what happened to this artillery battery?
It turned out that the artillery company arrived at the scheduled location nearly ten minutes later than the stipulated time due to weather reasons. They completed the erection of weapons, but were not able to attack yet. However, the infantry and equipment coordination force composed of more than 50 officers and soldiers had already arrived at the enemy's
In front of the defensive position, if you wait for the artillery battery to attack before coordinating operations, you will lose the opportunity to win in a rapidly changing battlefield.
As a last resort, infantry and equipment coordinated troops took the initiative to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.
The valleys of the western Tibetan plateau suddenly resounded with the roar of armored vehicles and bursts of crisp gunfire. The enemy's artillery shells continued to explode in front of the defensive positions. The enemy's powerful firepower made it difficult for the infantry and coordinated troops without artillery support to move forward.
Advancement brought with it serious casualties.
In the end, the 1st Battalion failed in this comprehensive exercise. The most direct reason for the failure was that the artillery company failed to complete the fire strike mission within the specified time.
At a commanding height in the valley, Xu Shengli, the leader of the Motorized Rifle Regiment, was observing the battle through binoculars. After seeing the defeat of the first battalion, his black and red face instantly turned fiery red, and his eyes, shining like beasts, were filled with anger.
The fierce flames burned the surrounding air until it was extremely thin.
"He fucked the artillery company commander! Tie him to me! I evacuated him today!" Xu Shengli slammed the telescope onto the sand, put his hands on his hips, and roared hatefully at the mountainous valley.
The motorized infantry regiment he leads is a mechanized unit in high-altitude areas of the army. Since its establishment, it has been rated as a "first-level military training unit" by superiors for many years. The artillery company to which it belongs is the last company to be formed in the regiment, and also
He selected the elite officers and soldiers of the Motorized Infantry Regiment. Although it was not established for a long time, the artillery company was a company that Xu Shengli had high hopes for. It was the trump card he focused on launching to the military region this year. Unexpectedly, the artillery company participated in a comprehensive military exercise for the first time.
He was completely beaten by an imaginary enemy!
The results of the military exercise will be reported soon. By then, I don’t know how many people will laugh at his defeat. The indelible shame slapped Xu Shengli’s face as hard as a whip!
The commander of the artillery company came up quickly. The original color of the gray camouflage uniform on his body was almost invisible. His trouser legs were half wet, and there was still snow frozen into ice on them. It was obvious that he and the artillery company had just rushed to attack.
On the way, we encountered extremely difficult situations.
"Report to the commander! Su Lichuan, commander of the 1st Battalion Artillery Company, is here to report!" He stood like a javelin in front of the purple-faced commander, not daring to move.
Xu Shengli walked straight in front of Su Lichuan with a straight face. He first looked up and down at Captain Su, who he had personally selected, and then, unexpectedly, he blew Su Lichuan's military helmet away. A strong wind swept the top of the mountain, and the soldiers
The helmet fell rapidly toward the valley more than 200 meters deep like a cannonball!
The biting cold wind immediately blew Su Lichuan's hair into leeks, but he seemed not to feel it and still stood upright on the spot, not moving at all!
Feeling the resistance from his subordinates, Xu Shengli became even angrier, and punched Su Lichuan's chest with a steel-hard fist, "You're good! Learn how to play tricks on me! Why didn't you show your strong backbone?
In the drill?! Ah... that's right!" Xu Shengli slapped his forehead and pretended to remember something, "I forgot, you are only good at penalty kicks! Just like when I put you in the golden nest of the motorized infantry regiment, you
But it’s like laying eggs for me. This time, even the eggs can’t be laid, right?!”
Su Lichuan moved his black and purple lips, "Yes! Captain! Please withdraw me!"
Immediately, his abdomen received a heavier blow. In this attack, Xu Shengli struck fiercely and used all his strength. Su Lichuan narrowed his eyes and held his breath in pain. His burly body also shook a few times with the leader's fist.
"Withdraw you? You think so, Su Lichuan! Removing you now is a reward for you, do you understand?! It was just a drill, and the lives of more than a hundred people were killed by you.
If war comes, wouldn't you send all your comrades to hell... Su Lichuan!! Company Commander Su!!! You really... deserve a beating!" Xu Shengli is famous for his fiery temper.
It was a miracle that Su Lichuan had not been dealt with until now.
Su Lichuan knew that any explanation he gave would be useless, because the result was there. They lost, or the artillery company he led failed to complete the mission on time and lost the battle.
Just like the leader said, if this is not a drill, but a real war, then he... Su Lichuan is the executioner who bears the blood debt!
If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no need to find objective reasons to defend yourself. It is not that Su Lichuan cannot accept failure, but that he cannot accept the defeat of stepping on the corpses of his comrades and having his hands stained with blood.
After venting, Xu Shengli's mood stabilized slightly, but it was still a powder keg that could be ignited. He glared at Su Lichuan: "Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Su Lichuan was startled, thinking that he heard wrongly, and looked directly at the leader.
He was kicked on the ankle, "What are you looking at? You still want to be beaten!" Xu Shengli yelled at him.
Only then did Su Lichuan realize that the regiment commander had no intention of punishing him. He asked himself what to do next, because he still wanted to keep the artillery company and the ace company he had built himself.
Su Lichuan suddenly felt waves of scalding heat coming out of his cold heart. Wherever the heat flowed, there was fiery passion.
He slapped his feet, saluted, and replied in a sonorous voice: "I would like to ask the regiment commander to send someone to train the artillery company!"
Xu Shengli asked in surprise: "Who?!"
"Gao Lie! Captain officer of the First Battalion Teaching Brigade, Gao Lie!"
