Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

在1团1营被轰炸的同时，3团1营已如期抵达1号高地前，按计划对1号高地实施试探打击。

The intensity of the so-called test strike is very small.

The 3st Battalion of the 1rd Regiment sent out only one platoon, and after a little testing, they found out the firepower point of the defenders. Request artillery support first.

Artillery support is divided into two categories: direct support and general support.

Direct support means that the artillery regiment only serves the 3rd Regiment and 1st Battalion; while general support supports the entire Red Army.

This time it is a general support. Therefore, the 3st Battalion of the 1rd Regiment cannot directly call the artillery regiment, but needs to report to the 3rd Regiment first. After the 3rd Regiment approves, it reports to the Red Square Headquarters. After the Red Square Headquarters approves, it reports to the dispatching headquarters, and the Guidance & Control Department notifies the artillery regiment. Regiment, what shells to use, how many rounds, when, and where to shoot.

When the 3st Battalion of the 1rd Regiment reported to the 3rd Regiment, they found that they could not make contact.

The 3st Battalion of the 1rd Regiment also responded quickly and immediately realized that the communication system had been hit. Then he thought that the war was one-way transparent to the blue side, and his position had been exposed.

因此3团1营撤离1号阵地，向西汇合1团3营，一起扎进了13号地区山区隐蔽了起来，同时派人寻找各参战单位位置和红方架设电话线的工程兵。

Use the most primitive manual reconnaissance method to fight independently.

This has been the case for many years, and most of them won't fight without communication being interrupted.

The 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment was only bombed before they realized that communications were interrupted and their whereabouts were exposed, which led to their death before leaving the army.

“报告，红方3团1营和1团3营失去踪迹，我营判断其进入了13号地区。”4团3营向蓝方指挥部报告。

"Use drones to conduct reconnaissance, find possible hiding places of the Red Army, and conduct long-range artillery strikes. Order the 4rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment to be transferred to the command of the 6th Regiment, and jointly encircle and annihilate the 1nd Battalion of the 2st Red Army Regiment. Order the remainder of the 4th Regiment to move northward from Area 11 Arrive at Area 8 and annihilate the Red Army's air defense regiment and artillery regiment. The 2nd Regiment advances rapidly toward Area 10, holding back the Red Army's 5th Army Regiment and part of the 3rd Army Group. Yuanhuo Battalion uses long-range rockets to bomb the Red Army Airport. All departments must act quickly, it is estimated that the red team's communication system will return to normal in one and a half hours," Zhu Haipeng ordered.

Guidance Department:

"Report, the blue side used 12 fighter jets to attack the red side's air defense group using low-altitude assault and radar jamming methods."

"Inform the red and blue sides that the red side's two search radars, two guidance radars and 12 launch vehicles, and one command vehicle were destroyed. The blue side lost 4 fighters."

There are no target drones in air defense operations. The guidance department can only deduce the outcome of both sides based on the measures taken by the red and blue sides. The parties involved did not know.

In sharp contrast is the infantry and artillery engagement area. ,

In Area 14, long-range artillery fire hit the artillery battalion, support battalion, support battalion, and air defense battalion of the 1st Red Regiment. It was a frightening, earth-shaking, earth-shaking attack, and the Red Square position was on the verge of collapse.

In less than half an hour, these four battalions had suffered all their casualties. Only the support battalion took advantage of its own advantages and dug many holes, determining half of the casualties.

The remaining three battalions were ordered to withdraw from the exercise.

The auxiliary battalions themselves were small in number. Under normal circumstances, when encountering long-range artillery fire, on the one hand, we can call our artillery to counterattack; on the other hand, we can only disperse and hide.

The artillery of the regimental artillery battalion has a maximum range of 15 kilometers, and it has to be located high up.

Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to play against long-range artillery regiments.

Now the red side is unable to contact the artillery regiment, and a battalion was destroyed by aviation just after the war started. This is equivalent to a difference in strength of at least one regiment and one battalion.

However, the blue side needs to leave one battalion to guard the five highlands, which narrows the gap between the two sides.

The gap in military strength is secondary. The key is that the red side is now unable to call for aviation, long-range artillery fire, and air defense regiment support.

Although the situation on the red side is obviously unfavorable, it also depends on the initiative of each camp.

Not without the power to fight back.

For example, 1 regiment and 2 battalions.

Except for being bombarded by long-range rockets at the beginning of the war and losing dozens of people. The 1nd Battalion of the 2st Regiment immediately realized that the red side was now at a disadvantage.

At this time, the opponent's troops are several times our own, and their equipment is the same as our own.

Now is not the time to take the initiative, and it is impossible to think of a similar battle to Sakata United.

At this time, you must defend yourself and hold back as many "enemy troops" as possible.

Therefore, the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion dispersed first and then started digging holes.

This area is also suitable for digging holes.

During the Battle of Lijiapo, the Japanese used cave dwellings and left the 772nd Regiment helpless.

The dug holes eventually formed a connection. After one cave entrance is blocked, go to other cave entrances.

In short, the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion used tunnel warfare to deal with the blue siege.

The method of drilling into the ground is a magic weapon for the weak.

Not to mention now, even if it happened to Xiong Da after 80 years, he would have a headache.

Under the protection of this simple but solid fortification, the artillery regiment bombed for 30 minutes, causing only a loss of 40 men on the Red side.

After the bombardment, 40 fat pigs that had been killed were carried down from the simulated position.

Moreover, it gave other troops 30 minutes of precious time to avoid being bombed.

使得3团能够腾出手，分出一营阻击向8号地区穿插的4团1营、2营。

Later, the Blue Artillery Regiment switched to support the 2nd Regiment.

The 2nd Regiment has fewer troops than the 5th Regiment and 3nd Battalion of the 2rd Regiment. But with the support of artillery fire, the two sides fought evenly.

In front of the 1nd Battalion of the 2st Regiment, the commander of the 6th Regiment was a bit over the top, "I don't believe that 4 battalions, plus long-range artillery support, can't defeat 1 of his battalions! The artillery battalion pulled up and fired directly at the entrance of the hole, and the infantry fighting vehicle Cover. Heavy machine gun suppression, infantry rush up, throw gas can grenades at the hole!"

The artillery battalion of the battalion does not have a 155-caliber howitzer. The standard configuration is a wheeled self-propelled 120mm mortar.

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

As the mortars continued to fire, the hole in the simulated position of the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion continued to collapse.

The infantry fighting vehicles continued to fire at surrounding places where skirmishers might be hiding.

The infantry also fired at places where there seemed to be pigs in the simulated position. Every time a pig was killed, it was judged that one of the opponent's pigs had been killed.

But then the mortars and infantry fighting vehicles were fired back by the recoilless rifles of the 1nd Battalion of the 2st Regiment.

Of course, it's not really a face-to-face fight, it's a bombardment against a target vehicle.

Although the mortar is armored, its protection is very weak and it will be destroyed after one hit.

The infantry fighting vehicle can withstand two or three rounds.

The Independent Brigade spent a lot of money on target vehicles, sacrificing more than [-] infantry combat vehicles that had malfunctioned during training.

Target vehicles are recycled, so the 6th Regiment lost more than twenty mortars and infantry fighting vehicles!

The 1nd Battalion, 2st Regiment also used programmable artillery shells against attacking troops. However, the infantrymen of the 6th Regiment wear body armor that can protect against most shrapnel.

It just doesn't work on shock waves.

Dead pigs were continuously dragged out from the simulated positions of both sides.

There were pigs howling everywhere.

Some pigs were originally the reincarnation of devils. When they were reincarnated, they found connections through the back door and became system pigs, hoping to shorten their time as pigs.

But he didn't expect to die again on the anti-Japanese battlefield.

If you're lucky, you can die a third time.

For every dead pig pulled out from the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion, four to five were always pulled out from the blue side.

At the same time, equipment losses also skyrocketed.

Zhu Haipeng had no choice but to issue an order to the 6th Regiment to stop the attack one hour after the attack, shrink the defense, and prepare all battalions for artillery defense.

The 6th regiment did not dare to attack with confidence. There are two red battalions hidden in Area 13. It could jump out at any time and take a bite.

These two battalions also contributed 100 pigs to the brigade when they were hit by heavy artillery. And determined a certain amount of equipment loss.

But it didn't break any bones.

Fighters at each airport are scattered at various field airports, and where possible, the aircraft are placed in caves or reinforced fortifications.

Oil and ammunition must also be closely guarded.

This is currently the only way to deal with long-range rocket launchers.

Once the opponent uses long-range rocket launchers, these are basically the methods. You can only hide but cannot intercept.

It's okay to intercept with surface-to-air missiles, but there aren't that many missiles and they can't be launched that fast.

The red team's communication system will be restored soon!

4团1营和2营刚刚突破3团3营防御，双方互有伤亡。

Among them, the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment suffered more casualties. After all, there was no long-range artillery fire and aviation support.

However, after the 4th regiment broke through the defense, the fighter plane was lost. They had to turn to attack the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment to expand the results.

The 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment moved closer to the 5th Regiment.

When the red team's communication system was restored, the two sides returned to a confrontation.

In the first phase of the exercise, the red team lost one airport, but the aircraft had been dispersed at multiple airports beforehand and were placed in caves or reinforced fortifications, so the loss was not significant; the air defense regiment lost one-third; and a complete synthetic aircraft was lost. battalion and three and a half auxiliary battalions; the total losses of other troops were about one and a half battalions.

The total losses of the blue team were about one battalion. In the attack on the 1nd Battalion of the 2st Regiment, the losses were larger, more than half a battalion.

After the red party's wired phone was connected, the blue party's interference with the red party was removed.

It doesn't have much effect anymore, but it can easily expose itself.

这样无法接通电话的1团3营，1团2营，3团1营也与红方指挥部取得了联系。

The red side launched long-range rocket attacks on the tunnel fortifications on Highlands 1 to 5. Retaliatory long-range artillery fire was carried out on the identified Blue Army battalion positions. But the density is not that high.

Because the battlefield is not one-way and transparent now, the artillery on both sides can only fire a few shots and then run away. Stick to the 8-minute rule.

An artillery battle also broke out between the two sides, but there were no obvious losses on either side.

The 1rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment stationed on Highlands 6 to 3 was deep underground and suffered no obvious losses when it was hit by rocket launchers.

The red side did not expect to capture these five highlands in one attack.

The two sides made a temporary truce and each built defensive positions and dispersed and concealed themselves.

After fighting for most of the night, Zhang Dabiao was very tired; Li Yunlong and Political Commissar Zhao were not relaxed either. The heavy burden cannot be placed on Zhang Dabiao’s shoulders alone.

Finally, no calls came in from both parties, so Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong and others took a nap.

The next day, after breakfast.

The red side began to organize a strong attack.

The red team's goal is to capture highlands 1 to 5 and cannot be satisfied with preserving itself; while the blue team will win as long as they hold on.

因此已经钻洞的几个营都拉了出来。3团两个半营攻击1号高地；1团2个营左翼；5团2个营右翼；剩下一个营保护后方重要部门。

The red team also interfered and destroyed the blue team's communication system. However, under Wang Huaibao's suggestion, Zhu Haipeng did not let go for fear of causing Fan Yingming's dissatisfaction.

Therefore, the Blue Team communication system remains open at all times.

The red side's radar interference with the blue side also failed. As long as the radar system is working properly, fighter planes will not dare to take off.

With the current performance of the Japanese aircraft, being discovered means being shot down.

Blue also has no passive defense.

In addition to the 6rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment holding its position, the 2nd Regiment and the 4th Regiment harassed the Red Army's attacking troops on both sides.

If you find an opportunity, never let it go.

The two sides fought until noon, each losing two battalions of troops.

The blue team gave up Highland 1.

The five highlands are arranged in a diamond shape, with highland No. 1 located at a vertex.

After the red team occupied Highland 1, it was hit by Highlands 2, 3, and 4 and long-range artillery fire.

Because they had just captured Highland No. 1, their footing was not stable, and they had no time to build defenses in the future, so they suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the large forces have not yet reached Highland No. 1.

The red team retreated from Highland 1.

Because the fortifications on the high ground have been destroyed, the blue team does not dare to reoccupy high ground No. 1.

The focus of the red side's attack shifted to Highland No. 2.

If you can capture Highland 2 and Highland 4. You can attack Highland 3 and Highland 5 from three directions at the same time.

The competition for Highland 2 is extremely fierce.

As the attacking side, the red side cannot rely on solid fortifications, and the red side suffers greater losses.

However, in order to achieve strategic goals, we still attacked regardless of casualties.

The artillery regiment directly supports the 5th regiment, which means that the 5th regiment can directly contact the artillery regiment to determine the method of support. It is not necessary to go through the headquarters.

The 3rd Regiment also shelled Highland No. 2 from the side. The regimental artillery battalion does not have artillery pieces larger than 155 mm. It was just to suppress the defenders of No. 2 Highland so that they did not dare to show their heads.

Under the fierce artillery fire, although Highland No. 2 was still in the hands of the blue team, the soldiers' supply channels were blocked by the artillery fire. Ammunition and water were in short supply.

Originally, the water in the soldier's kettle could be drunk comfortably for a whole day. But in high-intensity, highly stressful battles, water is consumed quickly.

After killing the pig for a long time, the throats of the defenders on Highland 2 were filled with smoke.

Someone asked the Guidance Department: Is drinking pig blood considered a foul?

The Guidance Department replied: When fighting against the Japanese, if you have the conditions to "drink the blood of the Japanese", then hand-to-hand combat will often occur. Therefore, if the pig is killed in a "hand-to-hand combat", the survivors can drink the blood. Otherwise, you cannot drink it. Then he gently reminded me that drinking pig blood is unhygienic.

At night, the support battalion braved the hail of bullets and sent ammunition and supplies to Highland 200 at the expense of 2 people.

After a short rest, both sides quickly ate self-heating rations and replenished ammunition.

The blue team then launched a counterattack.

The red side suffered greater losses in the daytime attack, and the blue side had an extra battalion because it had the upper hand in starting the battle.

Therefore, during the counterattack, the red side was beaten back steadily.

The 1nd Battalion of the 2st Regiment drilled back into the hole they originally dug.

Facing this group of "underground workers", the Blue Army had no better way, and only adopted the strategy of surrounding but not attacking. I want to come to a spot to call for help.

However, both sides knew that this was an exercise and it only lasted three days. Therefore, the red team did not go to the rescue.

This is the difference between exercises and actual combat.

No matter how close it is to actual combat, it is still very different from real combat.

For an army to truly mature, it still needs to go through the baptism of war.

to the early morning of the third day.

Li Yunlong and Political Commissar Zhao saw that Zhang Dabiao had not slept much for two days and two nights; the troops had also been trained, and the next fight would be a head-on battle to increase proficiency, but the effect was no longer obvious. I ordered this military exercise to end here.

Throwing down the notebook, Zhang Dabiao leaned on his chair and fell asleep.

Talking about the past two days and two nights without sleep, there are many things that I have done. But that is mainly a waste of physical strength, and you can do whatever your superiors ask you to do.

This is the first time Zhang Dabiao has done such a brain-consuming task!

After hearing the news that the exercise was terminated, the two sides were fighting to the death one second, and immediately began to call each other brothers again.

With Li Yunlong's agreement, 20% of all system pigs killed in battle will be given to troops who did not participate in the war. The rest will be distributed according to the proportion of pigs killed.

After adding the battalion initially determined to be bombed by aviation on the blue side, the proportion of pigs killed was significantly higher than that on the red side.

Both parties went back to have a pork dinner. The summary meeting will be held at 8:[-] the next day.

Zhang Dabiao first summarized the exercise process:

"After the exercise began, the blue team quickly detected the red team's communication nodes and carried out electronic interference; at the same time, it interfered with the red team's radar and gained the upper hand. With the help of drones, the blue team found out the movements of the red team's troops; it used aviation , taking advantage of the red side's radar being jammed, destroyed a red side synthetic battalion.

After that, aviation was used again to destroy one-third of the anti-aircraft regiment. However, the Red Army artillery position was not found and the Red Army artillery regiment was not attacked.

The 1nd and 2rd Battalions of the 3st Red Regiment and the 3st Battalion of the 1rd Regiment of the Red Army responded quickly and did not wait until communication was interrupted. Quickly adjust tactics. Especially the defenses built by the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion caused the blue side to suffer heavy losses during the attack.

In the end, the red team suffered higher losses than the blue team and only captured one high ground. The red side should be considered defeated.

However, the red side is the attacking side and is equal to the blue side in terms of strength. There is a certain degree of irrationality, so there is no criticism of the red side's defeat.

Through this exercise it was discovered:

1. Pay attention to information warfare and electronic warfare. The communication system needs to be planned and cannot rely on only one communication channel.

2. Each unit must adapt to the new battlefield environment. The personnel density of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment was too high during the march. After the command and control department notified the enemy aircraft of incoming attacks, they responded too slowly and could not disperse and hide quickly, resulting in heavy losses.

3. Airports and air defense forces lack effective defense methods when facing long-range artillery strikes. Currently, aircraft can only be dispersed among multiple field airfields.

4. Our army’s long-range artillery has adapted to the “hit and run” tactics.

5. When facing tunnels and solid underground fortifications, even heavy artillery such as 155mm howitzers are less effective.

6. Anti-tank missiles are a powerful weapon for attacking armored vehicles and solid fortifications, but no one knows how to use them. "

Afterwards, Li Yunlong made a concluding speech:

"Comrades, this exercise is completely over.

But the comrades' major military training has just begun.

To be honest, after hearing that the red side's communications were paralyzed as soon as the war started, I was so angry that I wanted to curse.

Later I thought about it, everyone came here because of poor communication.

When I was still in the New Regiment, a regiment-level unit did not have telephones or radio stations. To deliver a message, people had to ride horses, and sometimes there were even no horses. A round trip takes one day.

Everyone is used to fighting independently. This time I don’t blame everyone.

But it will have to be changed later.

The Chief of Staff summed it up well, but failed to sum it up in one point:

There are still problems with the cooperation between our various military services, and it is not tight enough.

For example, when attacking Highland 2, if long-range artillery bombing can be carried out, aviation will also arrive. When the artillery fire extended, the infantry followed. In that case, two battalions would fight one company, and later 3 or 4 battalions would fight one company. Even if there are tunnels in the position, it is not that difficult to fight.

Because our cooperation was not good, the artillery bombardment was finished, and more than [-] minutes later, the infantry was still lingering behind. So what was the previous shelling for? Let’s set off firecrackers and listen to the sound?

I've been fighting for a whole day and still can't win.

The blue team started with a very novel idea, electronic warfare, which even our old man Li did not think of before the war started. You are such a fucking talent!

It’s so fucking timid, in three hours, it didn’t even eat up a red-side synthesis camp! Are all the damn fire sticks you’re holding in your hands?

When the red team attacked Highland 1 and Highland 2 from behind, the peripheral troops did not effectively contain them.

These are the problems we have exposed.

If there is a problem, correct it.

How and when to change? Do you want to change it in training or in battle? Think to yourself. I'm too lazy to talk.

If the commander of the 1st regiment and 1st battalion can't do it, then stop doing it. Don't occupy the latrine without shit! "

Political Commissar Zhao quickly took over and said:

"Comrades, we agreed beforehand that the enemy of this exercise is ourselves. Finding our own problems is victory. So, no matter what, this exercise ended successfully.

After everyone returns home, they must strengthen training, look for their own shortcomings, and do more criticism and self-criticism. Especially be self-critical.

I believe that our brigade will undergo a radical change in the near future! "

At the same time, the aforementioned Kazuki Yamamoto was not idle either.

He is also training the new Yamamoto special agent team intensively.
