In the 308th Brigade headquarters.
The recon battalion commander jumped up.
"Found it! We found the location of their artillery battalion!"
Hong Tai immediately stood up, his face full of nervousness.
" Where?!"
"Report! It's 6 kilometers east of the 512 defense line, 9 kilometers away from us. It's not the place we imagined!”
Hong Tai nodded and said loudly.
"Special forces, I order you to attack quickly and seize…"
"Report!" The recon battalion commander said loudly.
"Brigadier! Let us go!"
"The reconnaissance mission of the enemy's artillery position has been completed.”
"The special forces are stronger. It's more useful to leave them behind!”
"Let us go!"
Hong Tai could not help but hesitate.
Such a surprise attack would definitely cause a large number of casualties.
Only by leaving the special forces behind would they be able to perform better in the final battle.
How could he not know?
But the reconnaissance battalion…
"Brigadier!" The recon battalion commander immediately panicked.
"We are the reconnaissance battalion. We are not weak in the first place!”
"Besides, we were played like monkeys for the whole day during the empty city exercise!”
"We have to tell Ferocious Tiger!"
"Our recon battalion can fight tough battles! We are not monkeys!"
His eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing heavily.
He was like a mad bull.
This expression made Hong Tai's heart tremble.
He finally made up his mind.
"Reconnaissance Battalion!"
"I order you to set off immediately!"
"Raid the enemy artillery battalion and seize all the enemy artillery!”
"You have to be fast! You must complete it within an hour!"
"Yes, sir!"
The recon battalion commander grabbed his gun and rushed out like a gust of wind.
"Reconnaissance Battalion, assemble!"
"Let's go! Revenge!"
Hong Tai looked at his departing back and was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses.
"Cannon Battalion!"
"Here!"
"I order you to set off in 10 minutes as the second wave!”
"As fast as you can, reach the enemy's artillery camp and take over the artillery.”
"After taking over, immediately move three kilometers east, find a suitable launch site and hide there, wait for orders!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Liu Ruiming looked at everything quietly and suddenly said.
"Su Meng, tell me, what is Brigadier Hong's motive for making such an arrangement?”
Su Meng pondered for a moment and slowly said.
"The Blue Team is the 602nd and 603rd Brigade of the T Army. There should be two artillery battalions.”
"But only one has been exposed.”
"So, after Brigadier Hong seized his artillery battalion, he will find a way to force out his second artillery battalion.”
"Then we will destroy his artillery battalion.”
"This way, we have cannons and they don't. We have the advantage in firepower.”
Liu Ruiming nodded and shook his head.
"You're not entirely right."
"Even if we destroy his artillery battalion, we won't have the advantage in firepower.”
"Brigadier Hong's real intention is to drag the war back to the initial stage.”
"That would be a pure infantry confrontation.”
"All of us have turned into infantry, and they are caught off guard. It will be difficult for them to organize a large scale infantry.”
"This way, we will have the advantage.”
Hmm?
Su Meng was stunned.
If they destroyed their cannons, how could they not have the firepower advantage if they had cannons?
Liu Ruiming saw his confusion and smiled.
"Cannons!"
Cannons?
Su Meng was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization.
That's right. Without any supplies, the artillery battalion could only carry a limited number of shells.
Now that the enemy was firing at the 512 defense line, it would definitely consume a wave of artillery shells.
If he destroyed their artillery battalion, how many shells would he have left?
Without cannonballs, the cannons were just a pile of scrap metal!
Liu Ruiming saw his expression and knew that he had figured it out.
He couldn't help but nod his head.
A promising child!
……
In the eastern war zone's joint operations command hall.
Shen Liang Jun, who was sitting beside Long Tian Gang, couldn't help laughing.
"Military Commander Liu is really bold to hand over the command to Brigadier Hong.”
"You really don't care.”
" However, Brigadier Hong was not blinded by hatred. He tried to create a local advantage when the overall situation was unfavorable.”
"This is really beyond my expectations.”
Long Tiangang nodded slightly.
"Brigadier Hong is brave and resourceful. He is also a rare good general.”
"He's just a little arrogant. The last Sky City exercise was a big blow.”
"This time, Military Commander Liu arranged this drill to show the courage of 308.”
"Whether it succeeds or not, we'll just have to wait and see.”
"By the way, is the young man beside Commander Liu Su Meng?”
Shen Liang Jun nodded and added.
"This young man has just joined the army for a month, but he has caused quite a stir.”
"The training results have broken many records in the army.”
"He's also quick-witted and has a clear train of thought. His tactical awareness isn't bad either.”
"He's just a little inexperienced, inexperienced, lacking in training, and sometimes a little…not too good.”
Lieutenant General Fan Jing Wei, Political Commissar of the Eastern Theater of Operations, laughed.
"In this military exercise, Commander Liu went to the war zone to ask for Su Meng.”
"I reckon that after the drill is over, Commander Liu will come to go through the recruitment procedures.”
"At that time, I don't know how Captain Duan will react.”
Long Tiangang shook his head and said slowly.
"The recruitment of Su Meng this time might not be a test for him.”
"Political commissar, make the arrangements."
"If he performs well and Military Commander Liu comes to ask for him, have the Political Work Department suppress him first.”
"Yes, sir!"
The commanders of the theater of operations turned their attention back to the battlefield.
……
"Cannon Battalion! Open fire!"
The commander of the 602nd Brigade Cannon Battalion gave the order.
18 155mm Howitzers roared at the same time.
18 flames shot out from the huge cannon.
What needed to be explained was…
During the exercise, the guns were filled with blanks.
There was sound and smoke, but no lethality.
The laser simulation system was used to determine the casualties.
After hitting the target, the target will emit smoke of different colors.
It represented the death or injury of the warrior.
The cannons were the same, firing empty shells.
However, the laser simulation system would calculate the trajectory and landing point based on the firing parameters of the cannon.
Red smoke rose from the top of the soldiers 'heads.
……
Just as the cannon battalion of the 602nd Brigade was about to unleash its might.
At the 512 defense line a few kilometers away.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion were already hiding in the artillery fortifications.
Thank you, Blue Team!
This was originally the first line of defense against the Red Team's attack.
The company that was originally stationed here spent a few days to build the fortifications.
Moreover, in order to prevent the Red Team from firing, their fortifications were extremely sturdy.
However, the Red Team did not play by the rules.
Without firing a single shot, the infantry had taken down this line of defense.
And those fortifications also smoothly changed their surname to Hong.
The existence of these fortifications also greatly weakened the firepower of the Blue Team's artillery fire.
But even so, after a full minute of continuous bombardment.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion still suffered casualties.
After all, that was a total of 18 155mm self-propelled howitzers!
What kind of concept was this?
Modern self-propelled howitzers could fire up to eight rounds per minute!
The 18 cannons would fire 144 155mm shells every minute!
The killing range of each cannonball was about a circle with a radius of 60 meters.
In other words, if 144 cannonballs covered the area perfectly.
Theoretically, it could cover an area of 1.6 million square meters in a minute!
That was 1.6 square kilometers!
As the first line of defense, the 512 defense line was mainly responsible for guarding and stalling for time.
How big was his range?
……
Zhang Caiying looked around.
Red smoke rose from the top of many people's heads.
This meant that they had already sacrificed themselves in this exercise.
His heart ached.
Each and every one of them was a soldier that he had personally brought out!
Even though this was a drill.
But everyone knew what this drill meant.
It meant the honor of the 308th Brigade.
It meant the dignity of every soldier in the 308th Brigade!
And now, they had sacrificed themselves at the very beginning of the war.
This meant that they could not use the steel guns in their hands to personally take back their dignity.
It meant that every surviving comrade had to shoulder this mission for them!
Zhang Caiying felt the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders.
"Company! Report the casualties!"
"Report, 26 casualties, 19 heavy injuries, and 12 light injuries.”
"Report, 2nd Company has 31 casualties, 11 heavy injuries, and 9 light injuries.”
"Reporting, Third Company…"
The low and deep reports made the atmosphere at the scene heavy.
The previous round of artillery fire.
More than 30% of the weak infantrymen had died!
Even the Blue Team warriors who had already died were confused.
He knew that he would be bombarded by cannons.
But why were they all like moths to a flame?
What they didn't know was…
At this moment, the 1st Battalion was not just a 1st Battalion, but a suicide squad!
A real suicide squad!
