Unlike the reconnaissance battalion, which could only "crawl in the shadows" in the dense forest.

Zhao Weihong made no obstacles along the way and quickly reached the outer perimeter of the 116th Division's artillery position.

At first, Zhao Weihong adhered to the principle of "caution first," stopping to listen to the sounds every few steps and sending people out to scout. The speed of their advance was practically "creeping."

But soon, Zhao Weihong realized that she seemed to be fighting against thin air.
"Platoon leader, I have a feeling that the other side hasn't set up any sentries behind their positions at all."

"I've been back and forth four or five times, but I haven't seen any movement in the camp."

"The brothers of the 447th Regiment's reconnaissance company searched every possible spot for hidden sentries, but found nothing but insects and leaves."

After listening to Wang Fei's somewhat suspicious report, Zhao Weihong remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke with a sigh.

"They probably didn't expect a group of enemies to suddenly appear from behind them."

Zhao Weihong's words actually hit the nail on the head.

It's not necessarily true that the 116th Division was negligent or complacent; otherwise, they wouldn't have forced the reconnaissance battalion to "crawl in the shadows."

However, it is also true that they neglected the defenses behind their lines.

After all, who would have thought that a group of enemies would suddenly appear behind them, not only with heavy firepower far exceeding the standards of the troops, but also because they were all elite troops?
"This will make things much easier for us!"

"Call Li Sanqiang and Platoon Leader Zhou from the Sixth Company over here. I need to explain the combat mission!"

In fact, this kind of thing should be explained before the operation begins.

But apart from Zhao Weihong, the others who could take on the main responsibility were always on the road to gathering up the remnants of the army and had no time to learn about the situation of the 116th Division's artillery positions.

Zhao Weihong had no choice but to take them to a location where they could observe the entire artillery position and then make detailed arrangements for them.

At this moment, Zhao Weihong and his group were on a small hill behind the artillery position, only two or three hundred meters away. Although the night was obscuring the view, they could still vaguely make out the general outline of the position.

"Now, let's begin assigning combat missions!"

"It's too late and we're not close enough. Hand over the Type 89 rocket launchers and all the grenades to the assault team for use when we get closer."

"I'll lead the assault team, yes."

"Platoon leader, may I interrupt for a moment?"

Before Zhao Weihong could finish speaking, Li Sanqiang, who couldn't stay still, volunteered.

"Why don't you stay here and oversee things from the rear? I'll lead the assault team!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong rolled her eyes at Li Sanqiang and asked impatiently.

"You're leading the team? Do you know the specific layout of their artillery positions? Do you know where the key targets are?"

"Obey orders obediently, and you'll be fighting in the war!"

Upon hearing Zhao Weihong's words, Li Sanqiang immediately fell silent.

Although some of the layout of the artillery camp can be seen here, it is limited to relatively obvious things such as tents.

It looked like a self-propelled artillery piece positioned in the woods, complete with concealment facilities. Even at this late hour, Li Sanqiang couldn't find it anywhere.

Only Zhao Weihong, who had spent a long time observing the artillery positions during the day, was capable of completing this assault mission, instead of leading the assault team around like headless flies.

"The first targets of the assault team were the field tents inside the position."

"We will take about a minute to eliminate as many enemy personnel as possible, and then begin to attempt to destroy the enemy's self-propelled artillery!"

"Time is of the essence, and there will definitely be some who slip through the net. That's when we need the cooperation of our comrades on the outside!"

"Li Sanqiang!"

"To!"

"You will lead a ten-man squad to find advantageous positions on the outskirts of the position and provide support to the assault team through precision sniping!"

"Remember, eliminating the enemy is not the main objective. The goal is to distract them, make them hesitant to act, and buy time for the assault team!"

"Yes!"

After giving her instructions, Zhao Weihong looked at the platoon leader of the Sixth Company, who was one of only two officers in their temporarily assembled combat unit.

"Platoon Leader Zhou, I'll leave the 60th mortar squad to you."

"It is currently unclear whether the enemy has armored forces such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles."

"Even if they do, the assault team is mixed in with the enemy, so they won't dare to recklessly charge around. At most, they'll act as a fixed firing point, which will make it convenient for you to strike!"

"Even vehicles that the enemy might send as reinforcements from other locations need to be handed over to the 60th Mortar Team!"

To be honest, the Type 60 mortar is not very effective against armored forces, especially tanks, and is not as effective as the Type 89 rocket launcher.

The primary mission of mortars in actual combat is to kill enemy infantry, not enemy vehicles.

But now, Zhao Weihong can only hope that a large number of 60 mortars can cause some trouble for the enemy's vehicles.

If possible, Zhao Weihong would also like to get some howitzers or even rocket launchers to bombard them, but there's no way to do that!
"After completing the mission, the 60th mortar squad will be responsible for covering the assault team's withdrawal."

"Don't worry about the shells. As long as we can take this artillery position, even if all of us more than a hundred men are wiped out here, it will be worth it!"

"Of course, a safe evacuation is always the best!"

Zhao Weihong's hastily devised battle plan can be described as very comprehensive.

Zhao Weihong managed to organize the team of over a hundred people into three sections.

The attacks, the cover attacks, and the flanking maneuvers—it's practically a template for mobile warfare behind enemy lines!
Is there anything else that's unclear?

Seeing that no one spoke up for a long time, Zhao Weihong made a quick decision and immediately called to Wang Fei, preparing to lead the team to break into the enemy's artillery position!

Meanwhile, the reconnaissance battalion sent out by Guan Jiwu was still struggling to get closer to the position. They crawled on the ground and moved forward very slowly. If they could advance three or four meters per minute, that was considered fast!
Just when they thought they were one step closer to completing their mission.

Zhao Weihong led a commando team of more than eighty people, advancing swiftly like ghosts under the cover of night.

Everything was proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner according to Zhao Weihong's plan.

However, the night vision cameras, which flickered between light and shadow in the treetops, captured Zhao Weihong and his group's movements and transmitted the data back to the command center dozens of kilometers away!
Inside the command center, the daytime bustle had subsided. Military observers from various countries, along with leaders at all levels who were observing and learning, had all gone to rest. Only a few staff officers on duty were monitoring the movements of the entire exercise area through cameras.

"Ok?"

"Quickly wake the commanders up! The reconnaissance battalion of the 149th Division is about to launch an operation!"

It's obvious that the directing department knew all along that Guan Jiwu was planning to attack this artillery position; otherwise, they wouldn't have kept waiting until now.

Not long after.

One by one, the leaders were awakened from their sleep and came to the conference room in their pajamas, ready to witness this surprise attack that could change the course of the exercise!

Compared to the daytime, there were significantly more leaders in the conference room.

Among them were Zhou Kehu, and even the leaders of the Thirteenth Army Group!

"Old Peng, if you ask me, you should just order your division to surrender!"

"So as not to cause us any trouble late at night!"

“Our artillery position is protected by the division’s armored reconnaissance battalion next to it, and an entire mechanized infantry regiment is responsible for its protection in front.”

"You think you can take our artillery position with just an armed reconnaissance battalion? You don't even know if you have the guts!"

"Isn't this a waste of our time!"

Upon meeting the leaders of the 13th Army Group, Zhou Kehu immediately launched into a barrage of attacks.

It wasn't that Zhou Kehu was being mean, but rather that the 39th Group Army had already lost three exercises to the 13th Group Army.

Now that Zhou Kehu has finally gained some advantage, shouldn't we let him show off a little?

Upon hearing this, Peng Jia'an, the commander of the 13th Army Group and a fierce general who had served on the southwestern front, immediately rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay him any attention.

Although Peng Jia'an did not retaliate, his silence revealed a lot.

It seems that even Peng Jia'an, the army commander, is not optimistic about this raid. Although the reconnaissance battalion of the 149th Division did successfully infiltrate the defenses of an entire mechanized infantry regiment and reached the outer perimeter of the artillery positions.

But getting in is easy; getting out is difficult.

Once the battle begins, the armored reconnaissance battalion not far from the artillery position can provide support within ten minutes.

Meanwhile, the mechanized infantry regiment on the defensive line would immediately dispatch troops to cut off the 149th Division's reconnaissance battalion's retreat route, creating a situation where there was virtually no chance of survival.

Moreover, the artillery positions were heavily fortified on the perimeter, with numerous visible and hidden sentries. Even if the 149th Division's reconnaissance battalion had wings, it would be extremely difficult for them to detect them.
"Old Zhou, don't just keep having fun."

"Take a good look, where have the 149th Division's infiltration troops gotten to?"

It would have been better if Zhou Kehu hadn't looked at it.

When he saw it, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
A large squad from the 149th Division had bypassed the inescapable encirclement and successfully reached the rear of the artillery position!

"Damn it! What are the sentries even doing?"

"How can we let the enemy sneak up here without them noticing?"

As Zhou Kehu exclaimed in surprise with a puzzled look, Peng Jia'an, who had been silent, immediately expressed a hint of schadenfreude.

"Old Zhou, I think your men have a really big problem!"

"Why is it that even after changing all the equipment, my skills haven't improved?"

"The enemy has gotten right under their noses and they don't even know it. Their vigilance is just too poor!"

"I think you should give up on the idea of ​​making us surrender."

"You'd better hurry up and give your soldiers a proper combat readiness training!"

"Hahahaha!"

These words immediately sparked a burst of laughter in the conference room, dispelling the lingering drowsiness among the leaders.

Zhou Kehu sat in his seat, staring wide-eyed, his face turning pale and then red. He pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out how this "reconnaissance battalion" had gotten behind the lines!
Despite having so many hidden sentries, they didn't alert a single one!
Could they really fly?

And on the screen.

The team has already begun the next phase of their operation.

The artillery tents were not placed together, but rather scattered in a triangular pattern in three corners of the position.

This squad seemed to have been aware of the situation beforehand, and immediately split into three squads, which approached each camp from the outside.

The screen then split into three sections, each displaying the movements of a different squad.

Zhou Kehu's face was gloomy, and he was still thinking about the question from earlier.

The next second, he saw a very familiar face flash by in the middle of the screen!

Zhao Weihong!
Upon seeing this, Zhou Kehu's eyes widened immediately, thinking to himself, "Isn't this kid in the 446th Regiment?"

How the hell did they get involved with the division's reconnaissance battalion and start targeting my artillery positions?

However, Zhao Weihong on the screen was clearly unable to answer Zhou Kehu's question.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the leaders, Zhao Weihong finally arrived outside the target camp.

After a few crisp sign language exchanges, Zhao Weihong's team pulled out grenades in unison, casually made a few cuts in the tent, and threw them in!

As the grenade made a muffled thud during the exercise, thick white smoke immediately rose from inside the tent, mixed with several bewildered and angry curses!

"What the hell? What are the sentries doing? How did I get killed?"

Seeing that the noise inside the tent was getting louder, Zhao Weihong barged into the tent with his Type 81 pistol and shouted sternly.

"keep quiet!"

"You are already dead!"

this moment.

More than three years of military academy life swept away Zhao Weihong's "bookishness"!

In its place was the murderous aura that had once terrified countless people!
Inside the tent housing almost a platoon of soldiers, silence immediately fell, and they turned to look at Zhao Weihong in front of them with complicated expressions.

Zhao Weihong had no interest in wasting words with them. Seeing that they had quieted down, she immediately walked out of the tent, raised her hand and fired a shot into the air, completely shattering the tranquility of the night!

The other two squads that were split off immediately received the signal and began bombarding the tents in front of them with grenades. Wang Fei's squad even used Type 89 rocket launchers. They were utterly inhuman and cruel!
In an instant, thicker white smoke rose up throughout the camp, announcing the annihilation of the vast majority of the troops stationed there!
"Enemy attack."

"Boom!"

With a casual volley, he took out two sentries who were patrolling inside the position.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Weihong immediately led his soldiers towards the location of the self-propelled artillery, ready to wipe out these things that had caused the 149th Division countless troubles!

The tent Zhao Weihong had just entered was now eerily silent.

"The person who just came in."

"Doesn't this look like the old 'living father' from the 347th Regiment?"

"What the heck?"

And the other side.

The reconnaissance battalion, which had been "creeping" in front of the position for almost half an hour, also received the "signal" to launch an attack!

"A shot has been fired! The battalion commander has given the signal!"

"go!"

With a gunshot piercing the night, a cacophony of footsteps echoed through the dense forest!

As the soldiers of the 149th Division's reconnaissance battalion strode forward, they wondered if there was something wrong with the signal their battalion commander had given.

They were still two or three hundred meters away from the camp, so how did the "battalion commander" manage to charge into the position?
However, now is clearly not the time to delve into this issue.

As the scouts ran, they noticed the increasingly dense footsteps around them.

Years of hard-earned combat skills made them subconsciously move toward the direction from which the footsteps sounded.

"Comrade, which class are you in?"

"Artillery Regiment Direct Reconnaissance Company, what about you? Which unit are you from? The 346th Regiment or the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion?"

"You guys reacted pretty quickly. How did you manage to come over bare-handed?"

"Ok?"

The footsteps abruptly stopped, and after a moment of silence, the soldiers of the 149th Division's reconnaissance battalion fired a shot without saying a word in the direction from which the voices had come!
Damn it! This battle is terrible!

They've gone and mingled with the enemy!
It is clear.

At this moment, it wasn't just the soldiers of the 149th Division's armed reconnaissance battalion who were advancing towards the position.

There were also a large number of sentries originally stationed in front of the position by the 116th Division!

This second shot, following Zhao Weihong's, seemed like a dangerous signal, instantly making the atmosphere in the forest tense!

The next second! The once quiet dense forest was filled with chaotic gunfire, which grew increasingly intense!
Hearing the sounds of gunfire coming from directly ahead, Zhao Weihong frowned slightly, wondering why Li Sanqiang was moving so fast.
They've already engaged the enemy in front of the position?

In that case, Zhao Weihong needs to buy even more time!
"What about the Type 89 rocket launcher?"

"Yes! Bomb it like that!"

"Those who can open the door, throw grenades inside; those who can't, use rocket launchers. The rest of you, stay alert!"

at the same time.

The leaders in the command center looked at each other, none of them speaking up to express their views on the battle situation!
It wasn't until the 149th Division's reconnaissance battalion clashed with sentries at artillery positions in the woods that the commanders realized what was happening.

The squad that launched a surprise attack on the 116th Division's artillery positions from the rear was not the reconnaissance battalion of the 149th Division.

Instead, it was a group of troops whose origins even they, as leaders with a "God's-eye view," did not know!
