In fact, it wasn't just their regiment. There were only a few people in the entire Southeast Military Region who knew that the drill would be held today. Some of the division commanders were kept in the dark.
The military region had suddenly set up such a place to test the ability of the various units to adapt temporarily. They wanted to see how much combat power each company could unleash in an emergency!
"What should we do now? Did the higher-ups give any instructions?" Hu Wang asked again as he looked at the team that had gathered quickly.
"No, I haven't."
Matthew shook his head and said with a dark face,"The higher-ups told us to stay put and wait for orders.”
Hu Wang could not help but frown when he heard Matthew's words.
The drill had already begun, but the higher-ups had told them to wait for orders. This was not good news.
Could it be that their side had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage at the beginning of the exercise?
Otherwise, they should have let them occupy the strategic points that were close or easy to occupy first.
"Little Chen, go organize the team first." Matthew ordered as he looked at the increasing number of soldiers on the training ground.
"Yes, sir!"
After Chen Guotao left, Matthew looked at the quickly assembled team with deep eyes and said in a deep voice,"Looks like this exercise is a little tricky.”
He had participated in many wars and even more exercises, but this was the first time he had received an order to " stand by."
"Uncle Miao, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Right now, we still don't know what's going on, so there's no need to worry unnecessarily.”
Looking at Old Miao, who was frowning, Wang Hu comforted him,
"Moreover, the people above have to ensure fairness. If we don't know, others and our opponents won't know either.
In this aspect, we are also at the same level. I quite agree with this because sometimes we don't know the specific information of the enemy.
"This is already considered good. Sometimes, we might even get some wrong information.
Would there be no war then? This will test our abilities even more. Don't worry, we will definitely surprise everyone this time!”
"I can only think so." The two of them talked as they walked towards the team that had gathered quickly.
"Attention!"
"At ease!"
"Attention!"
"Count off!"
"All in a row!"
"Second Platoon is here!"
"Third Platoon is here!"
"The kitchen crew is here!"
After seeing that all the members of Night Tiger's reconnaissance company had arrived, Chen Guotao turned around and saluted. He looked at Matthew and said,
"Comrade Company Commander, Night Tiger's reconnaissance company has assembled. Please give us your orders!”
"Attendant, platoon leader Chen Guotao!”
Matthew saluted back to Chen Guotao. Then, he looked at the hundred people in front of him and ordered," At ease!”
Everyone stretched out their left feet in unison.
"Comrades, according to the urgent order we just received from the military command, the annual confrontation exercise has begun.
Our regiment is the vanguard regiment of the entire Red Army. Our Night Tiger Recon Company is our eyes and daggers!
Comrades, do you have the confidence to complete the mission?”Miao Lian shouted.
"Yes!"
"Alright, you've trained your troops for a thousand days and used them for a moment. The confrontation exercise is war, and in front of you is the battlefield!
I've seen how hard you've been training these past few days. Whether it was a mule or a horse, it was time to bring it out for a walk!
"Report!" Before Matthew could finish, a soldier holding a mobile phone suddenly ran in from outside the training ground and interrupted Matthew's pre-battle mobilization.
"What happened?" Matthew frowned slightly and looked at the person with dissatisfaction.
"Company commander, the command center is calling.”The person did not care if Matthew's expression was good or not. He handed the mobile phone in his hand to Matthew and explained.
"Hey!" As Matthew spoke, he straightened his body and said 'yes!'
After a long while, he hung up the phone and said to Wang Hu,
"The mission is here. Let's go!"
Half an hour later, military vehicles passed through layers of sentry posts and arrived in front of a temporary camp.
This was one of the frontlines, and their mission was in this direction.
Old Miao and Wang Hu got out of the car one after another and walked straight to the command center in the center of the camp.
There were dozens of military computers in the command center.
The satellite images were projected on the walls, and in the middle was an 8*3 meter sand table.
A few advisors stood beside the sand table, frowning and looking worried.
The colonel standing at the front of the sand table had a gloomy expression, completely different from the smiling regiment commander he had seen before.
"Guild Leader!"
After he came to the regiment commander, Matthew raised his hand and saluted.
When he shouted, not only did the regiment commander look over, but many battalion commanders surrounding the sand table also looked over with unfriendly gazes.
He seemed to be blaming Matthew for interrupting their train of thought.
"Yes."
When the regiment commander saw Old Miao and Wang Hu, he nodded and replied. Then, he looked at Wang Hu and said,
"Wang Hu, come over and take a look. What should our regiment do next?”
As soon as the regiment commander's voice rang out, the officers beside the sandbox subconsciously looked at Wang Hu.
Ignoring the gazes around him, Wang Hu nodded at the regiment commander and looked directly at the sandbox in the middle.
The sand table simulated the current situation of the red and blue teams in the Southeast Military Region, as well as their current mission target.
According to the situation on the sand table, the Blue Army only occupied one-third of the positions on the sand table, which meant that the Blue Army's strength in this military exercise accounted for one-third of the entire Southeast Military Region.
In other words, the Red Army had twice the strength of the Blue Army!
However, the regiment commander and the officers in the command center were still worried when they had twice the number of troops.
Because on the sand table, many of the areas occupied by their army had been marked with a cross, which meant that these places had been lost or that they had lost contact!
"Although the Blue Army only has half of our forces in this exercise, they have the Wolf Fang Special Forces.
Just as the exercise began, Wolf used his unique high mobility and advanced combat equipment to pull out several of our mechanized troops.
What's more, our allies sent many scouts over, but there was no news!
Now, it's our turn. How about it? Do you have any good ideas?”
The commander pointed at a few places marked with crosses on the sand table and said in a deep voice.
" So many mechanized troops were pulled out in just a few minutes…"
"Captain, has Wolf Fang infiltrated our own system?" Wang Hu pondered.”
No matter how powerful the Wolf Fang Special Forces were, they couldn't pull out so many mechanized troops at the start of the exercise.
Even if they were flying, it was impossible for them to have such speed. In that case, their side should have been infiltrated!
Sending the wrong information and launching the wrong target could easily lead to a situation where they were fighting against themselves.
That was why Wang Hu had this guess, and the higher-ups had probably guessed it long ago. Therefore, they had no choice but to delay their actions.
