Military career: Starting with a recruitment letter

Chapter 229 The raid is launched, who the hell is so despicable?

They returned from the director's office to the Blue Army's camp.

The entire camp became incredibly lively. Because he had spent too much time at the special forces unit, Chen Mo didn't return until almost 10 a.m.

The heavy railway equipment, led by Gao Jin and Liu Heli, has arrived.

All around the base, rows of military green tents rose up as far as the eye could see.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of military-grade diesel fuel. More than a dozen refueling stations were operating in a tense but orderly manner, with the logistics sergeant team operating the No. 22 fuel nozzle high-pressure refueling gun.

It only takes three minutes to fill the tank's two fuel tanks, one main tank and one auxiliary tank, which can hold 400 liters and the other 300 liters.

The sounds of commands being given nearby, the sound of fuel tanks being sealed, the sound of the thickened composite armor fuel tank lock being turned on at the rear of the tank, and the sound of high-pressure fuel guns spraying diesel fuel all mingled together.

Looking around, tanks were constantly driving past more than a dozen refueling stations, arranged in an orderly fashion.

The 12/200ZL water-cooled turbocharged pulse-charged diesel engine roared continuously.

A deafening roar shook the earth and the sky.

Under the blazing sun, rows of fully fueled Type 96 heavy tanks gathered together. Their high-powered steel machinery and green paint blended seamlessly with the gray and drab color of Qinglong Gorge.

The muddy ground, combined with the bumpy, undulating terrain, increased the friction between the ZGMn13 high-manganese steel tracks and the six pairs of road wheels. Coupled with the roar of the engine, it felt as if the entire world had transformed into an ocean driven by a torrent of steel.

This is the commander's greatest source of confidence.

After getting off the plane, Chen Mo kept an eye on the refueling and assembly site, watching the armored team, rocket launcher team, mechanized infantry team, and army aviation team gradually assemble.

They form a vast air-ground landmass.

He then clapped his hands, put them behind his back, and confidently walked towards the command vehicle.

He boasted to the commander in the directorate for a long time, saying that he had cut off the Blue Army Division's battle plan with his own strength, almost pounding his chest loudly.

The source of their confidence in making such a guarantee is none other than the equipment in the Blue Army camp.

Tonight, the Seventh Theater will be the first to engage in combat.

At that time, the 61st Division will not only have to guard against the Blue Army battalion, but also against the surprise attack of the 139th Division. This battle should not be as difficult as imagined.

When Chen Mo arrived at the command vehicle.

Gao Jin, Liu Heli, and a few others had already put down sun protection netting on the roof of the command vehicle and set up a simple tent.

Seeing that all the officers in the squad were there, Chen Mo walked into the tent and looked at Liang Hongjie, saying, "Later, distribute glucose and some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water to each squad according to the number of people. It's too hot here."

"Make sure you get plenty of rest during the day, and don't let anything slip up if there's something to do at night."

"So fast?"

Upon hearing about the operation, Gao Jin was taken aback. He had just brought his team to join them and was still unaware of the reconnaissance arrangements made the previous night.

"We have to be quick. We only have equipment for one battalion. If we wait until the exercise starts in full swing, we'll miss our chance."

Chen Mo smiled, and before he could ask, Cheng Du, who was sitting under the tent, spoke first: "The eight groups that set off yesterday have all returned now, and the reconnaissance situation is better than we expected."

As he spoke, Company Commander Cheng walked into the command vehicle, took out another topographic map, spread it on the table, and quickly circled a few points with a pencil, saying, "The scholar's analysis is correct."

"From the eastern front to the northwest front and then to the southern front, the Blue Army Division's fuel and heavy equipment units are basically stationed around the Seventh Theater."

"During the reconnaissance last night, due to the environment, our people got quite close together. Apart from marking areas 2 and 7, we did not find any Blue Army bases."

"The remaining 6 markers all show signs of Blue Team activity."

"The most complicated one is point number 3, where three battalions of the Blue Army are stationed within a three-kilometer radius: two tank battalions and one mechanized infantry battalion."

"The area is almost completely filled by the densely packed company-level outposts around it."

"Marker point number three?"

Upon hearing the news of the reconnaissance, Chen Mo immediately took out the map he carried with him from his pocket.

He frowned after finding the location of the mark.

This marker is located northwest of the Blue Army camp, right on the main tactical line where the enemy artillery regiment is assembling and heading south to join the anti-aircraft artillery and infantry regiments.

Whether it's protecting oil supplies or directly sending troops south to the main battlefield, this is the best tactical point.

Chen Mo never intended to make this a primary area for attack.

There's no other reason; it's just too obvious, so obvious that the Blue Army Division would definitely send heavy troops to guard it, making it a pass that must be heavily fortified.

With the Blue Army's firepower, they might fire a single shot and the enemy could retaliate with a dozen or more.

This is a tough nut to crack.

But Chen Mo is the stubborn type; the mere mention of fatty meat makes his heart itch.

Where is Battalion Commander Zhou?

After pondering for a while, Chen Mo looked up at Cheng Dong.

"He's probably resting. He didn't sleep last night and waited until all the reconnaissance teams returned before he went to rest."

Cheng Dong responded without hesitation, saying that Zhou Xiao was, after all, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and his responsibilities were much heavier than those of Chen Mo and the others.

They naturally paid more attention to the Blue Army Division's fuel supply area and the location of its main battalion.

"Wake him up and tell him we have something to discuss." Chen Mo waved his hand and rolled up the map again.

He paced back and forth inside the tent with a solemn expression.

Anyone could see that Battalion Commander Chen had his eye on marker point number three.

Cheng Dong was a pragmatist; he didn't care where the attack was, as long as it was fought, he got up and went to find Zhou Xiao.

But there were more than just the two of them inside the tent.

Deputy Battalion Commander Gao Jin, Political Instructor Liu Heli, and Captain Wang Jianbin of Xiangjian Group noticed Chen Mo's intentions.

The three of them exchanged a glance. Even if they didn't understand what had happened at first, after listening for so long, they could figure it out.

Gao Jin spoke first: "Battalion Commander Chen, I overheard you discussing with Company Commander Cheng. Since this No. 3 site is where the Blue Army Division's heavy equipment is concentrated, I think it would be more prudent for us to reconsider."

"What are you considering?" Chen Mo was taken aback when he heard this.

When asked this question, Gao Jin, who had spoken first, was a little confused: "Consider attacking Site No. 3, huh?"

"No need to consider that. I have no intention of attacking there. To be precise, I have no intention of having us attack there."

Chen Mo's smile remained unchanged as he offered cigarettes to the group before sitting down on a bench. He already had a detailed attack plan in mind.

"Then who should do the fighting?" Gao Jin asked, taking a cigarette, his mind still reeling.

Just then.

Cheng Dong led Zhou Xiao, whose face was still sleepy, and hurriedly ran over.

Battalion Commander Zhou saw two colonels suddenly appear inside the tent.

He almost thought he wasn't fully awake. He rubbed his eyes before standing at attention and saluting, saying, "Reporting, Colonel, Zhou Xiao, battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the 139th Division of the 47th Army, is here to report for duty. Please give instructions!"

"It's alright, we're all on the same side." Chen Mo stood up and pointed to Gao Jin. Liu Heli said, "This is our Battalion Commander Gao and Instructor Liu from the Information Technology Battalion."

"Our battalion is quite special; the officers are all assigned by the military region."

"Haha, Battalion Commander Zhou, please sit down, please sit down." Liu Heli brought over another chair.

Several people took their seats one after another.

Gao Jin and Liu Heli are both veteran cadres of the General Staff Department. If they didn't understand what Chen Mo meant when he said he wouldn't mark point number three, they would understand.

Now that they see Battalion Commander Zhou coming over, they naturally understand.

After everyone was seated, Chen Mo briefly explained the director's intentions, which did not generate much discussion.

Based on the mobilization status of each unit, it was expected that all the units participating in the exercise would arrive by this afternoon.

Even if there are delays, it's because individual units didn't prepare their contingency plans properly, and it has nothing to do with the overall emergency response plan.

After all, 139 is so far away, the entire division can arrive in the afternoon, and other units can arrive in about the same amount of time.

"Based on last night's reconnaissance, let's now assign tasks."

After explaining the directorate's message, Chen Mo went straight to the point: "According to last night's reconnaissance, of the eight marked points, only points 2 and 7 are unoccupied by enemy troops."

"The remaining No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 8 are all garrisoned by the main force battalion or company-level units of the Blue Army Division."

"I plan to launch a sabotage operation against these marked points tonight. Everyone, please share your suggestions now so we can discuss them together."

Upon hearing this, the people inside the battlefield tent looked at each other but did not respond.

It's not that we don't have opinions.

The Blue Army camp only had this much resources, and it was being watched by the directing department. Even if Chen Mo was wrong, no one would say anything about the battle plan.

Because no one wants to bear the consequences of the experimental battalion's losses.

Casual chats and verbal sparring are fine, but once Chen Mo started "assigning tasks," no one offered any different suggestions.

Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't bother to ask for advice from others. Instead, he turned to Zhou Xiao and asked, "Battalion Commander Zhou, can your division's reconnaissance battalion join the operation?"

"No problem. Our division headquarters has instructed us to cooperate with your informationized battalion in all military operations."

Zhou Xiaoli responded readily.

After analyzing the situation of the Blue Army Division with Battalion Commander Chen last night, he had no objections to this cooperation.

There's no other reason than that a cadre who, with only a limited amount of intelligence, could analyze the enemy's strategic objectives, heavy equipment movement routes, fuel supply depots, assembly routes, and the location of the main force battalion.

There are very few like this in the entire 139th Division staff; you won't lose out by cooperating with someone like this.

Moreover, there are orders from headquarters.

"Row."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Captain Cheng."

"To!"

"Captain Wang."

"To!"

"Staff Officer Feng."

"To!"

Cheng Dong, Wang Jianbin, and combat intelligence officer Feng Guoqing stood up at attention.

"After the meeting, the 'Sound Arrow' company will select ten people, the 'Reconnaissance Company' will select fifty people, and the battalion staff will select five people." "Each group will consist of twelve people, using a 10+2+1 grouping model, and will be divided into five groups in total."

"The first group, led by Staff Officer Feng, is responsible for assisting the First Company of the Division's Reconnaissance Battalion in setting up tactical marker 1."

"The second group, led by Captain Wang, is responsible for assisting the first platoon of the second company of the military reconnaissance battalion in setting up tactical marker 4."

"The third group, led by Company Commander Cheng, is responsible for assisting the second platoon of the second company of the military reconnaissance battalion in setting up tactical marker 5."

"The fourth group, led by Liang, is responsible for assisting the third platoon of the second company of the military reconnaissance battalion in setting up tactical marker 6."

"The fifth group, led by Wang Jianyong, will go to marker point 8 and be responsible for leading the tactical sniper team."

"Marking the points, utilizing the mobility of army aviation brigade helicopters to deploy reconnaissance soldiers, and placing booby traps, anti-tank mines, and communication jamming devices in the marked areas."

"Remember, the mission of the first four groups is to lie in wait in advance, await the enemy, and then launch attacks against their communication equipment and reconnaissance radar!"

"The fifth group will select comrades with good marksmanship from the reconnaissance company. The subject will be battlefield bayonet. The target will be all junior commanders of the Blue Army division. There are no requirements and no time limit. The training will continue until all of you are killed or the exercise ends."

"Is it clear?"

"clear!!"

The cadres who received the order shouted in unison.

The reconnaissance company and staff officers had all received training at the base, so some of the technical operations were not too difficult for them.

But it seems everyone else already has a task.

Even the two companies under his command were assigned to other tasks, but he himself was left out.

Zhou Xiao grew anxious and stood up, saying, "Battalion Commander Chen, this isn't right."

"The first and second companies of the battalion have cooperated with your operation, so what about me?"

"Battalion Commander Zhou, don't worry." Chen Mo smiled, stood up, and patted Zhou Xiao on the shoulder: "The area you are in charge of is the most important. Marker number three is now in your hands."

"But remember, the Blue Army has the most main force in this area. We should only harass, not attack. It would be best to infiltrate the camp and do the same as Group Five, carrying out assassinations. We should not make too much noise."

"Is there a problem?"

"No, there's no problem at all."

Zhou Xiao waved his large, fan-like hand and responded briskly.

There are no fools here.

Point number three appears to have the largest enemy force, but the other five locations have been infiltrated by the information battalion, which has placed booby traps and blocked communications.

If accidents happen simultaneously in the most critical locations, the entire Blue Army Division will be in a panic tonight.

The Blues were indeed the host team, and they were indeed formidable, possessing a deep understanding of the terrain.

But that couldn't suppress the simultaneous occurrence of abnormalities in so many places.

No one asked Chen Mo what he was doing.

Because there's no need to ask.

With so many important assembly points of the Blue Army Division under attack and their main camps cut off from communications, a large number of reinforcements must have been mobilized from the vicinity.

Chen Mo only needs to lead his main force to wait in ambush on the linear battlefield connecting the eastern and northwestern fronts of the Blue Army Division, and he can eliminate a lot of reinforcements.

Night raids never target the eight reconnaissance markers.

Rather, it refers to the reinforcements that can be quickly mobilized from the surrounding areas after the troops stationed at these marked points lose contact.

The Blue Army battalion has drones, radar, and integrated air-ground firepower.

If arranged properly, the Blue Army Division will inevitably suffer a great loss.

The meeting was disbanded.

This is the first real confrontation in all the time the Blue Team has been training.

The officers of each squad, full of energy, began to mobilize the troops.

The reconnaissance company, division reconnaissance battalion, battalion staff group, and other personnel responsible for sabotage began to recuperate.

10 PM on the 9th.

During the day, the sun in Qinglong Gorge is so strong that it hurts your skin, and at night there is sandstorm, but thankfully it is not as strong as the gale last night.

The Blue Army's aviation squadron launched fifteen Z-9 attack helicopters simultaneously, each carrying several groups of personnel, and began maneuvering towards the designated marker points.

Because there were too many people, one trip was not enough to transport them all, so the operation had to be carried out in multiple trips.

On the battlefield where yellow sand filled the sky, armed helicopters flew almost close to the ground.

Low-altitude flight is one of the methods to reduce radar detection and prediction.

One group after another was transported by helicopter to a location more than ten kilometers away from the marker.

The reconnaissance company, soldiers from the division's reconnaissance battalion, carrying their equipment and Type 85 sniper rifles, quickly disappeared into the night.

The helicopter responsible for transporting them quickly turned around and flew back with all its might, its speed many times more unrestrained than before when it was being so cautious.

Anyway, I'm not afraid of being detected by radar; they won't come to this location again.

While the Blue Army camp was busily transporting troops to the front lines.

The senior sergeant in the radar duty room of the 2nd Battalion, Armored Regiment of the 61st Division stared at the warning on the screen for a long time before shaking his head.

"Damn it! You damn Red Army, why don't you try flying forward a little further?"

"The missiles were all ready, just waiting for you. Damn it, why did you run away?"

The Blue Team sergeant looked utterly disappointed.

He didn't realize that this was the operation of the information battalion, and thought it was the Red Army of the Seventh War Zone starting its operation.

Actually, even if he knew that the Red Army was sending scouts in this direction, he wouldn't care, because it was normal.

Their Blue Army Division is also constantly sending reconnaissance soldiers to the Seventh War Zone. When it comes to fighting, the methods are all the same.

Of course, as normal as it is, the sergeant still reported the situation here to the regimental operations duty room.

After careful consideration, the regiment reported the matter to the division headquarters.

Night fell, enveloping the entire camp.

Half past eleven at night.

Inside the temporary barracks of the Night Tiger Company of the 182nd Regiment of the Blue Army Division, the entire area was quiet and without a sound.

After a day and a night of maneuvering, the soldiers of the Sixth Company, except for the necessary guards, had already fallen asleep.

It wasn't just Chen Mo who could calculate intelligence such as the Blue Army Division's supply depots, assembly points, and transport lines.

Wang Songhe, commander of the 61st Division, was no pushover.

On the morning of the 8th, before Chen Mo's Blue Army battalion even arrived at Qinglong Gorge, the staff group led by Division Commander Wang had already calculated the enemy's movement route to the Seventh War Zone based on the location of the 139th Red Army Division.

The Sixth Company of Night Tigers was assigned by the division headquarters to dig ditches and build tank cones on the Red Army's main routes of movement, specifically to sabotage the Red Army's movement.

Don't ask why.

The question is war, and it requires any means necessary.

And this was also permitted by the directing department, because real wars are often accompanied by all sorts of unpredictable accidents.

These seemingly insignificant tactics, however, were used by the Night Tiger Company to disrupt the advance of a Red Army mechanized infantry battalion and a logistics detachment along their movement route.

This resulted in a large number of tanks becoming stuck in place.

Ultimately, a mechanized infantry battalion could only muster one company of men to ride in tanks and reach the designated location within the allotted time.

The remaining two companies were declared dead due to their lateness.

This resulted in the Night Tigers working non-stop for a whole day and night, leaving everyone exhausted.

Around 11:40.

The once quiet camp was suddenly interrupted by a lieutenant who appeared in a hurry, clutching toilet paper in his hand, as he approached a makeshift field toilet 300 meters away from the camp.

Urgent! Extremely urgent!
I was out all day, and I could even withstand the mosquitoes that were practically devouring me while I was sleeping, but I just couldn't stand the diarrhea.

There are still tasks to complete tomorrow.

The lieutenant was only thinking about finishing his business in the toilet and going back to catch up on his sleep, while watching him take off his pants.

Her fair, tender buttocks were just placed on the wooden vat, ready to gush forth.

boom!
A gunshot rang out without warning.

The lieutenant's eyes widened, and he felt his chest tremble. The next second, the sensor emitted a hissing white smoke.

Damn it? ! !

I got sniped?
Sniping someone while they're in the bathroom? Seriously, even a ghost wouldn't do something so despicable.
But whether ghosts are immoral is unknown.

Not far from the Sixth Company of the Night Tigers, in the Second Company's barracks.

The company commander had just finished his patrol and felt a slight urge to urinate.

Just as they were enthusiastically scattering it, they took it out.

boom!
The familiar sound of an 85 sniper rifle rang out.

The company commander looked bewildered, his urge to urinate abruptly cut off, his face filled with shock.

Damn it, which son of a bitch is so despicable as to lie in ambush near the toilet?

The gunshots quickly alerted the entire camp.

The Blue Army soldiers, who were still asleep, rushed out of their tents, pulling up their pants, and searched for traces of the enemy.

After learning what had happened, everyone turned pale with anger.

Like a madman, he began searching the surroundings for that damned sniper.

They searched while simultaneously cursing.

If we catch him, we'll make him eat a tank alive.

Two more mouthfuls of diesel fuel are not enough.

Damn it, I've seen all sorts of despicable people, but I've never seen anyone deliberately shoot someone while they're in the bathroom.

This isn't just about fighting; it's absolutely infuriating.
