At nine o'clock in the evening, after the night had completely darkened, Li Qiu finally heard the first explosion in the command vehicle.
Has the Red Army started attacking?
Li Qiu and the others in the command center instantly became alert!
Zhou Xing ran to the satellite communication equipment and took the headset from an officer. He listened to the reports of the troops in front and gave orders.
"The enemy doesn't have enough air power, so they won't launch a large-scale attack.”
"Order the air defense battalion to activate the radar station and intercept the air-to-ground missiles immediately!”
"Also, the original plan remains unchanged. The reconnaissance battalion will continue to investigate the enemy's distribution and preparations. Report immediately if you find anything!”
Zhou Xing's voice was impassioned and powerful as he immediately issued orders to the Red Army.
Then, he took off his headphones and gave the commanding position to the staff officer, returning to his original position.
"The Red Army launched an air-to-ground attack on your armored fire force and important command communication radar facilities?”
Lieutenant General Liu Zhenguo from the Ministry of Defense asked Zhou Xing.
"That's right, the Red Army's air force launched air-to-ground missiles to strike us with precision, but I believe in our air defense battalion.”
"Moreover, the Red Army has limited air power to attack us. I estimate that they can only organize an effective round of attacks and will not cause too much damage to us.”
Zhou Xing said calmly, not worried about this.
However, at this moment, new information came from the front."The armed reconnaissance company, instrument reconnaissance company, and drone reconnaissance company of our reconnaissance battalion have discovered that the Red Army is moving around the periphery of the city.”
"The Red Army estimates that after the aerial attack ends, they will launch a multi-directional attack and three-dimensional attack on our city!”
The combat staff officer reported to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing's face was filled with joy at this news.
"In a new type of war, discovery is destruction, especially when facing a heavy armored synthetic brigade!”
"Although our Blue Army's mission goal is to defend the city, this is a real battle. Since Yuan Cheng dares to expose his special forces, don't blame me for taking the initiative to attack!”
"Order, the Firepower Battalion will coordinate with the coordinates provided by the Recon Battalion and immediately launch long-range artillery attacks.”
"Send the heavy infantry and tank companies of the 123rd synthetic battalion to push forward. The assault vehicles and tanks will catch them off guard.”
"Also, send the assault helicopters from the support battalion over. We'll end this quickly!”
Zhou Xing quickly arranged the orders and battle instructions.
However, Zhou Xing's series of commands clearly shocked everyone present.
Everyone did not expect the Blue Army, which was the city's garrison and defense, to take the initiative to attack under Zhou Xing's command and annihilate the Red Army special forces that were preparing to attack.
"Military Commander Zhou, are you planning to end the actual combat training that was supposed to end in three days earlier than usual tonight?”
Liu Zhenguo, the core leader of the Ministry of Defense, asked Zhou Xing with a helpless expression.
He and another lieutenant general from the General Assembly Department had come to observe the actual combat confrontation training. They originally wanted to test and inspect the special forces 'special combat and street combat capabilities, as well as the performance of the new equipment in the special forces.
However, who would have thought that Zhou Xing would do the opposite and annihilate the enemy before the Red Army attacked?
" Modern troops fight with information and machinery. They all have the ability to strike accurately and cover fire. If the coordinates are exposed, it means destruction. There's no other way.”
"The armed conflicts in other regions have already proved this point to us!”
Zhou Xing replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, the command post heard continuous gunfire.
It was obvious that after receiving the command from the command center, the firepower battalion had already begun to bombard the coordinates of the special forces.
Immediately after, gunshots that sounded like stir-fried beans were heard continuously.
Obviously, with the Blue Army's armored forces taking the initiative to attack, the two sides had already engaged in battle in front.
Three hours later, at midnight, everyone in the command center was in high spirits, waiting for the battle reports from the front.
"Report, the battle command at the front has called. We have completed our mission and eliminated a total of 892 enemy soldiers.”
The staff officer in the command center saluted Zhou Xing and reported.
After hearing this news, Li Qiu and Chief Instructor Gu's hearts suddenly sank. The two of them looked at each other in disbelief.
Yuan Cheng's special forces were annihilated just like that?
However, compared to Li Qiu and the other two's gloomy expressions, Zhou Xing's face revealed a bright smile. He asked,""How are the casualties on our side?”
The staff officer looked at the data and immediately reported,"We lost a total of 30 tanks, 5 assault helicopters, 50 armored assault vehicles, and 613 people!”
Zhou Xing and Liu Zhenguo were clearly shocked when they heard this number.
"What's going on? We've already detected the enemy's coordinates and were attacked by the firepower battalion, yet we still used armored troops to advance.”
"Who can tell me what's going on?”
Zhou Xing slammed the table and asked angrily.
"Report, according to the report of the frontline combat staff on the seized weapons, the Red Army is equipped with a new sniper grenade launcher.”
"Based on the number of people and the number of weapons, the Red Army is equipped with a new type of equipment for every six people. This new sniper grenade uses programmed ammunition and can explode above our armored vehicles, avoiding the front of the thickest armor plates such as tanks.”
"Even the low-altitude assault helicopters can carry out effective strikes. We are starting to cause a lot of losses without knowing the enemy's equipment.”
"Fortunately, we managed to adjust in time and wiped out all the Red Army troops within the target range!”
the staff officer reported.
After listening to the staff officer's report, Zhou Xing forced himself to calm down.
Because he was the commander and decision-maker responsible for causing such a huge loss!
However, at this moment, Lieutenant General Wang Hang of the General Assembly Department looked at Chief Instructor Gu in surprise.
"Chief Instructor Gu, this new sniper grenade is the masterpiece of your 521 factory, right?”
"Although the Red Army lost this battle, this new sniper grenade is a brilliant counter weapon!”
Lieutenant General Wang Hang said to Chief Master Gu with joy in his eyes.
Beside him, Lieutenant General Liu Zhenguo also nodded in agreement. The performance of this new sniper grenade was so outstanding that it was indeed feasible to install it on a large scale throughout the entire army.
"Right, the Red Army Special Forces has a full force of about a thousand people. What about the remaining hundred people?”
"What about Yuan Cheng? Was he killed or captured alive?”
"Whoever catches Yuan Cheng alive, I'll give him a third-class merit!”
Zhou Xing asked again.
"Report, no sign of the rest of the Red Army or Captain Yuan Cheng.”
the staff officer said truthfully.
"What? You didn't find Yuan Cheng?”
Zhou Xing was shocked. With most of the Red Army's special forces wiped out, how could Yuan Cheng escape?
However, at this moment, an urgent message was sent to the command center again. An elite squad of the Red Army had landed near the hospital in the city. This squad had taken advantage of the battle to enter the city by airborne means. They were expected to carry out a beheading mission!
