Military career: Starting with a recruitment letter

Chapter 337 Night Battle, Raid on the Red Army Camp

The evening of July 1.

Chen Mo, who went out to patrol around the Zhuri River in the afternoon, did not return to the camp until after 8 p.m.

During the inspection.

Chen Mo had a vague sense of unease in his heart, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

This intuition stemmed from a sense of vigilance towards the 61st Division. Logically speaking, wouldn't such a large troop movement seem a bit too obedient?

along the way.

He carefully considered in his mind whether, if he were in command of the Red Army, he would really arrange all the main forces so honestly and move in an orderly manner.
According to its organizational structure, the Red Army already had the rudiments of a heavily armed combined arms division.

Those high-ranking officers who have been leading troops in battle for half their lives, especially that old bastard, are not so easy to deal with.

Why is it so calm?
The patrol convoy stopped at the artillery and vehicle range on the outskirts of the camp.

Chen Mo got out of the car.

He looked around at the quiet environment. Early warning radars and reconnaissance jamming vehicles were all activated around him, and the Silver Sword aircraft occasionally passed overhead.

No abnormalities were found.

But this is precisely the biggest anomaly.

Upon arriving at the operations duty room, Cheng Dong and the communications staff were both on duty.

Chen Mo casually offered the two of them a cigarette: "So, any news from the Red Army this afternoon?"

"No."

Cheng Dong shook his head: "The main force of the Red Army in all the garrisons of Qinglongxia, Tianshui, Longxi, Pingji and Wuzhong has set off and everything is normal."

"By the way, where's Lao Wang?" Chen Mo asked subconsciously.

"He left this afternoon. Before he left, I heard from Liu Min that he scolded that little girl. This old man's personality is really unpredictable."

“Wang Luyi is such a good kid. He stood downstairs for more than 20 minutes in the cold wind. Instead of saying a few nice words when he met me, he came up and started scolding me. What a terrible father he is.”

Cheng Dong's tone was clearly filled with resentment.

This person truly embodies the saying, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near 'silence' gets stained black."

Even though Company Commander Cheng of the reconnaissance company was a bit domineering and had a short temper, he was at least polite.

He would never complain about high-ranking officials in public.

Now, Chen Mo keeps calling him an "old bastard" behind his back, so much so that he's started calling him "old man" too.

Listening to the company commander complain.

Chen Mo raised his hand to touch his nose, chuckled dryly, and walked away.

I went to the information command center for another look.

Wang Jianbin is still struggling, but he hasn't noticed anything unusual.

Think about it too.

Since the 61st Division dared to deploy troops in advance, it must not be a large-scale operation, but just a small-scale routine movement. No matter how many nearby cameras are deployed, it will be useless.

Isn't it normal for a few troop transport vehicles to occasionally appear from the military?
Furthermore, the other party adopted a strategy of consolidating their efforts and gathering at a station a full 700 kilometers away from the Qinghai-Gansu-Ningxia region.

Even if Wang Jianbin racked his brains, he couldn't possibly have sensed such a distant place.

Finding nothing amiss only deepened Chen Mo's suspicions.

During his inspection of the camp, he unknowingly arrived at the technicians' dormitory area, where the academy's mentors, the arsenal technicians, and the female soldiers of the camp lived.

This place has little to do with the main combat units.

Chen Mo didn't intend to linger. As he hurried past, a soldier on duty at the entrance of the dormitory building suddenly stood at attention and saluted: "Good morning, Battalion Commander!"

"Ah."

"Ok?"

The voice sounded very familiar. Chen Mo turned his head and saw that Wang Luyi was wearing a helmet, holding an 81 rifle, and standing at attention in front of the duty station at the dormitory entrance.

"Why are you on duty?"

Chen Mo frowned. New recruits who haven't been awarded ranks don't have the ability to perform duties alone. Even when on guard duty, they should be accompanied by veteran soldiers.

Even though the technicians' dormitory area is inside, it is not part of the combat company's accommodation area.

We shouldn't be so careless; rules are rules.

Seeing that the battalion commander's expression was not right, Wang Luyi hurriedly explained, "Report, our captain went to check the other duty posts and will be back soon."

The voice just fell.

Liu Min rushed over from a distance.

Seeing the battalion commander standing in front of the sentry post, her head buzzed and she cursed her bad luck.

After all, the technician dormitory area consists of two three-story buildings, one for male staff and one for female staff, and the duty posts are right next to each other.

This silly girl, she probably didn't come up with an excuse that she went to patrol the sentry post, did she?
You can't just make up a lame excuse during a wartime standby period. The medical team only has a dozen or so people, where are you going to find so many duty posts?

"battalion commander!"

Liu Min stood at attention and saluted with trepidation.

Chen Mo glanced at her and nodded slightly: "Captain Liu is so busy. She doesn't forget combat readiness while on duty, and she still remembers to check the sentry posts. She is worth learning from."

That's obviously sarcastic; that's just a sarcastic remark.

The battalion commander was about to leave.

Liu Min gritted her teeth, turned around and quickly followed. She glanced at Wang Luyi, who was still on duty, and said in a low voice, "Battalion Commander, you can't blame me for this."

“The new comrade was scolded by her father, and she didn’t feel like eating dinner. I went to the canteen to bring her some steamed buns to fill her stomach.”

As she spoke, Liu Min reached into her coat sleeve and pulled out two steaming hot steamed buns.

"Also, Battalion Commander, Division Commander Wang said that after the New Year, he will transfer Comrade Wang Luyi, an outstanding new recruit from our armored regiment's medical team."

"Our regiment has always asked other units for personnel, but we've never actually given them to anyone. Of course, we have given them to others, but that's only because well-trained cadres were transferred to Guangzhou and Nanjing. That's what we decide."

"We absolutely cannot be passive this time. Our medical team won't release anyone."

Liu Min spoke with particular firmness, her eyes looking as if she were about to swear an oath to join the Party in front of the national flag.

Chen Mo was somewhat puzzled by what he heard.

Damn it, when did it become your decision whether or not to release them?
Moreover.

What kind of officers are in this Blue Army battalion? Can our provocation tactic be any more rudimentary?

"Let's talk about it when he's in the mood to transfer people after the New Year," Chen Mo snorted twice.

Liu Min's provocation tactic was indeed low-level, but he was right about one thing: the Ironclad Regiment had always only asked their superiors for people or released them voluntarily; they had never had anyone snatched away by others.

Especially Old Wang, who wants to transfer people across major military regions. Even if you are the deputy commander-in-chief, it's not that easy for you.

"At worst, I'll go to Kyoto and accompany him to the lawsuit." This was a phrase Chen Mo learned from Commander Fu of the Kyoto Military Region.

As for how the lawsuit will actually be handled, he didn't know, but he sounded quite confident.

A defeated general has no right to speak!

Even before the fight, Chen Mo didn't think the Ironclad Regiment would lose. After all, things were different now, and Zhurihe was his territory.

However, he is not in the mood to think about these things right now.

Chen Mo took a few steps, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

Turning to ask, "By the way, which direction did Commander Wang take the helicopter this afternoon?"

“South!” Liu Min said confidently.

This information is not difficult to obtain. The armored regiment's base has early warning radar, and any movement trajectory that is identified as enemy by the IFF system will be locked.

Tianshui is located southwest of the Zhuri River, so it's not unusual for a helicopter to take off and maneuver southwards.

But Chen Mo felt like he had overlooked something.

"Where's Wang Luyi's phone?" Chen Mo suddenly asked.

"In the logistics warehouse."

"Go, send it to her tonight. She just got scolded, so she must be upset. Just tell her to call her superior after her shift and talk things out. There's no such thing as a family conflict."

"alright."

Although Liu Min was puzzled as to when the battalion commander had become so kind, she didn't ask any further questions and simply gave him the money.

After Liu Min left.

Chen Mo strolled to the sentry post, looked at Wang Luyi who was blinking, and smiled: "It's nothing. I heard from your Captain Liu that the leader wants to transfer you."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't want to leave, I'll do everything I can to keep you here, even if it means running all the way to Kyoto."

"It's nothing serious, just focus on your duty."

"Thank you, Battalion Commander. I will do my job well." Wang Luyi lowered his head slightly, deeply moved.

After all, how many new recruits can withstand such rhetoric?

"It's alright, don't worry about your duty. The sky won't fall. I'll have Captain Liu return your phone to you later. Call the commander when you have time. We're all family, there's nothing we can't talk about."

A few simple words of comfort.

Chen Mo then turned and left.

However, he did not leave the dormitory area directly, but waited outside for Liu Min to retrieve her phone.

He led Captain Liu straight to the information command room, placed the Nokia phone in front of Wang Jianbin, and said, "If this phone makes a call, with our current technology, can we pinpoint the area where the call will be received?"

“It’s so easy.”

With a confident smile, Wang Jianbin pushed up his glasses: "The signal source is linked to the Wild Dog satellite system. As long as a signal comes in or goes out, satellite positioning can lock on very quickly."

"Okay, get ready and arrange for someone to be in charge of the signal source for this phone."

Chen Mo's action was a casual arrangement.

After all, Wang Songhe's phone call occurred before the exercise started, and he may have inadvertently revealed some information.

However, once the military exercise officially begins, the troops will not usually use external communication methods other than wartime encrypted communication and wired communication.

As the deputy commander-in-chief, there's no reason why the other party wouldn't know even this most basic thing.

Therefore, Chen Mo was just trying it out and didn't expect the phone to be of any real use.

Liu Min stood aside, listening in stunned silence.

This information warfare is truly terrifying. What if Wang Luyi actually manages to get through to her father? Wouldn't that mean the Blue Army could pinpoint the location of the Red Army's command post immediately?
of course.

The most terrifying thing was their battalion commander, who would stop at nothing, even using the new recruits' communications.

Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against later, or being ganged up on by the Wang family?

As a woman herself, Liu Min is very perceptive. The battalion commander has been spending a lot of time with Wang Luyi lately. The two people involved may not have noticed, but that doesn't mean that people around them can't see the clues.

This guy, he'll rip off someone relentlessly, and then he'll never get married.
However, she dared not say these words to his face, and could only wait obediently after Wang Jianbin bound the phone to the Wild Dog command system signal source.

Only then did he leave with the phone.

. . . . . . . . . .

into the night.

Chen Mo still had no clue, and Wang Luyi's phone call also went unanswered.

This is not surprising.

It wasn't until after 11 p.m., when Chen Mo was about to rest in bed, that the dormitory door was suddenly banged on.

"battalion commander!!!"

Wang Jianyong's urgent voice came from outside the door.

Judging from the noise, there's a high probability that something bad has happened.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo quickly sat up in bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and grabbed his overcoat and military cap.

He walked to the dormitory door and opened it: "Make a long story short, what's up?"

Wang Jianyong took a deep breath and said urgently, "Our reconnaissance team has some news. According to Captain Zhang Chuan, when he followed the Red Army's mobile unit, he found that many of the troop transport vehicles were empty when they took a break to refuel."

"The number of personnel is less than half of the approved number of people in the motor vehicles."

"Xu Dong also reported that the Red Army may have hidden its troops, and that they had infiltrated the stations along the way. The main force's troop composition was also incorrect, with a large number of Red Army soldiers missing."

Wang Jianyong spoke somewhat hastily.

However, you can't blame him for this.

The Red Army had a strength of over 10,000 men. Even with some missing, there were still at least several thousand.

The fact that such a large force disappeared without a trace during the war inevitably caused panic among their troops, and even made them feel like they were seeing enemies everywhere.

In fact, he just came over to deliver a message.

Wang Jianyong even wondered just how many enemies might be lurking in this pitch-black, boundless grassland.

In wartime, losing control is the most terrible thing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo calmly smiled.

"Let's go, notify all cadres to assemble in the conference room."

Done.

Chen Mo went downstairs first.

He wasn't really worried. War is a game of deception and trickery, truth and falsehood, which is perfectly normal.

It's much better to discover the Red Army's tricks than to be kept in the dark forever.

He was never afraid of any arrangements his opponents might make; he would simply meet force with force and water with water.

The most terrifying thing is that you are completely unaware of someone else's arrangements and cannot defend against them.

The two arrived at the operations room.

The core members of the armored regiment have arrived, and a map of the Zhuri River has been hung on the wall.

Led by Cheng Dong, a group of cadres were studying the map in detail.

They saw the battalion commander push the door open and come in.

The crowd quickly made way and stood quietly.

Seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the group, as if facing a formidable enemy, Chen Mo smiled and said, "There's no need to be so serious. I was thinking during the day that the Red Army's movements were too calm; there must have been some underhanded tactics behind the scenes."

"Now, their main force hasn't arrived yet, but the vanguard has arrived ahead of time. That's no different from courting death."

"The key to the tactic of hiding troops lies in hiding. If you hide them well, you can achieve the effect of attacking them unexpectedly. If you hide them poorly, they will become the protruding rafters and rot first."

Say it.

Chen Mo picked up the baton and pointed out several areas on the large map, saying, "The Red Army's advance maneuvering methods are nothing more than military trains and high-speed maneuvers."

"Based on our current reconnaissance, the Red Army's mobile equipment has not decreased, which means that it is in line with the enemy's manpower."

"Based on this, the possibility of the Red Army taking a high-speed maneuver is basically ruled out. They couldn't have hidden their troops without hundreds of transport vehicles. If they had, the supply depots along the way would have found them."

"They always need to refuel, and they always need to replenish their water and eat."

"If we rule that out, then it can only be military trains."

"Our guard battalion and reconnaissance company's drone patrols during combat readiness can extend to a distance of about 150 kilometers."

"If a large number of enemy troops were to enter this area, it would be impossible for them not to be detected."

"According to these reports, the locations of the Red Army's hidden troops are nothing more than Erlian Station, Jining South Station, Guhehot Station, Sangenda Station, Saihantala Station, Sunitezuoqi Station, Xiwuqi Station, and Xilinhot Station, etc."

With just a few words, Chen Mo almost cleared away the fog and pointed out the approximate area where the Red Army was hiding.

The officials present all brightened up upon hearing this. Knowing where the person was made things much easier.

Chen Mo ignored the reactions of those present. He swept his gaze across everyone and said solemnly, "Order!"

Swish!
The cadres, who had been standing scattered around, immediately lined up and stood at attention upon hearing the word "order".

"Order! Mechanized infantry company, immediately proceed to the vicinity of the nearest Second Company Station and conduct a thorough search."

"Once the enemy is discovered, they will be wiped out immediately. It is unlikely that the Red Army's troops, who are hidden over long distances, will carry large-caliber weapons and will not concentrate in crowded places."

"Order: Tank company and artillery company, proceed to the vicinity of Jining South Station and conduct a thorough search. Once the enemy is discovered, eliminate them immediately."

"Reconnaissance Company, deploy all Silver Sword aircraft to pre-position these stations, search for enemy traces, and transmit data in real time."

"I'd like to see what the Red Army can use to fight us with all these main forces they've sent."

"If so many of their main forces are depleted, who will be able to control their war machines tomorrow?"

"All right."

"Attention, all personnel! Execute this order!!"

"Yes!!"

The meeting was dissolved.

All cadres began to take action.

*Clap clap clap clap clap*
Inside the camp, corridor lights, street lights, and vehicle and artillery range lights were all turned on simultaneously, without any particular order.

The sound of whistles, "beep beep beep," echoed throughout the camp.

During periods of combat readiness, even when resting, they remain fully clothed and ready to be deployed at any time.

Not long after that.

One after another, Type 92 armored vehicles, Type 63 armored vehicles, and Type 142 transport vehicles drove away from the camp.

The Silver Sword aircraft dispersed in different directions, each carrying four missiles, and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

Wang Songhe's deployment of hidden troops was originally not flawed; it could even be described as a surprise attack.

But he failed to consider two points.

First, the armored regiment had long been incorporated into special operations teams. Such small combat units were nothing compared to the massive Northern Class A motorized infantry division.

They weren't even cannon fodder on the main battlefield.

However, the role of special operations teams is not on the front lines. They excel at disguise, concealment, and infiltration, and their abilities far surpass those of ordinary reconnaissance soldiers.

If someone can infiltrate a mobile unit through various means, and doesn't cause damage, then they're gathering intelligence.

The second point is the easiest to overlook, but it is also the most fatal.

Wang Songhe only knew that the Ironclad Regiment was equipped with new drones, but he had no idea that the Silver Sword's performance far surpassed that of the original ASN-206 model.

The maximum cruising distance of the 206 drone is only about 100 kilometers.

If it were any bigger, not to mention control, the power supply wouldn't last that long.

But the Silver Sword is different; it has been converted to fuel-powered operation. The massive fuselage carries fuel tanks, resulting in better flight speed, altitude, and payload.

The technicians from the Academy of Sciences and the arsenal have been staying in the armored regiment for three months and are reluctant to leave.

The reason is that the new drones have indeed seen a significant improvement in functionality.

However, it also has significant limitations in its use.

More complex maintenance is required, including regular oil changes and cleaning of the air filter.

Even the people at the Academy of Sciences haven't fully figured out the maximum flight distance and altitude of this new type of drone under extreme weather conditions, and it still needs to be recorded here.

Not to mention Wang Songhe, who studied at the National Defense University for several months.

He knows nothing!

The armored unit suddenly set out in the middle of the night, startling the entire directing staff, who also got up and ran to the window to check.

At the same time, battlefield observers were assigned to accompany the Blue Army troops, and reconnaissance aircraft were deployed to monitor the battlefield in real time.

Xu Hong, wearing a military overcoat, gazed at the main force of the Blue Army camp disappearing on the horizon, as well as the Silver Sword aircraft group that had already taken to the air.

He shook his head slightly and smiled, "I've said it before: hiding troops is not suitable for modern warfare. The reconnaissance methods are too advanced and can't be hidden. The Jincheng Military Region has already suffered a great loss once, so why would it make the same mistake again?"

"The Red Army is probably in big trouble."

Upon hearing Chief of Staff Xu's conclusion, Deputy Director Xu Wu'an, who was also the commander-in-chief of the 47th Army, fell silent.

But he's not worried.

The main force of the Red Army that hid this time consisted of three to four thousand troops, and they never intended to hide for long.

Moreover, how big is the Ironclad Regiment in total?

If the main force is deployed in this way, and if they fight all night, they will have to wait for the real main force of the Red Army to arrive later.

What could they possibly use to fight the main force of the Red Army head-on?
That's right!

The Red Army was taking advantage of the fact that the armored regiment was outnumbered.

Once the hidden troops are discovered, the armored regiment's garrison will be left vulnerable, and the main forces of the Red Army hidden in other areas will simultaneously launch an attack on the Zhuri River.

Faced with the Red Army's relentless offensive, the Blue Army's main forces that went out and those that stayed behind could not be combined into one force, so how much fighting power did they have left?
More than 10,000 people were locked in a battle of attrition, with only a little over 1,000 fighting back.

Even if they fight in the most rudimentary way, the Blues have no chance of winning this battle.

Looking at the overall battle situation...

The Blues are indeed at a disadvantage.

But don't forget, Chen Mo is the kind of person who never fights a battle unprepared.

Since he dared to send out the main force of three companies, nearly five hundred men, he must have had the confidence to do so.

We are not afraid of a sudden attack on the camp by the Red Army.

On the directing side, as the Blue Team was deployed, they began assigning dedicated personnel to follow and record the process.

Chen Mo then dialed the border patrol base to negotiate with local border defense units to go to other stations to conduct searches of the main force of the Red Army.

Local units certainly do not have the right to launch an attack.

However, their advantage lies in their mobility, allowing them to quickly reach stations hundreds of kilometers away from Zhurihe and conduct a thorough search.

No need to do anything.

As long as the specific coordinates of the Red Army's rest and reorganization are transmitted, the Blue Army base will be confident in launching a hunt for the Red Army's vanguard.

1 a.m. on January 31.

As the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month approached, the residents of the towns along the way went to sleep early.

The notice of the military exercise had already been communicated to every household through local departments to avoid sudden gunfire and shelling that could cause public panic.

A long line of infantry fighting vehicles, equipped with heavy machine guns, moved along the dark road. Yellow sand swirled in the air, and the headlights of the vehicles were like the sharp eyes of a giant dragon opening its eyes in the desolate northern wilderness.

One after another, silver swords tore through the clouds and flew toward their destination.

Inside the camp, the early warning radar was set to its maximum range to protect the entire grassland.

The reconnaissance and jamming vehicles dispersed in three directions and kept rotating, while the enemy was still hundreds of kilometers away.

The entire armored regiment's base was set up for a decisive battle.

In addition to the infantry fighting vehicles deployed, all tanks, howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, and long-range artillery in the entire regiment were put on combat readiness and ready to be deployed at any time.

The dim streetlights, amidst the yellow sand, reflected the cold light of the main battle tank's composite armor.

at the same time.

Inside the Red Army command post in the small town of Jining.

Wang Songhe set up a cot inside the bungalow, and burned coal for heating. Old Wang lay on the cot to rest.

Qin Hui, the commander of the 61st Division, and Lin Yifeng, the chief of staff, sat in front of a brazier, warming their hands by the fire and smoking while on duty.

The main force is on the move.

They stayed at the Jining command post, and could only redeploy the next phase of the battle plan after ensuring the main force's safe arrival the next day.

The main force, which came from Tianshui, Longxi, Pingjibao, Qinglongxia, Wuzhong and other places, had to report a detailed mobilization report every half hour.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night; the command post must have a senior leader on duty.

Qin Hui and Lin Yifeng were quietly discussing the battle situation and planning their attack after dawn.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound cut through the air from high above.

These were all veteran cadres, and even though the Silver Sword machine group made very little noise and there was a strong wind outside, they were still aware of the situation.

They still couldn't escape their vigilance.

"what happened?"

Wang Songhe was awakened by a slight noise. When he got up from his cot, Qin Hui and Lin Yifeng had already walked outside the bungalow, dressed in civilian clothes, looking up at the night sky.

"It must be some kind of operation by the Blue Team. It sounded like a helicopter, but it was too fast, so I couldn't see it clearly."

Lin Yifeng shook his head slightly, not taking it too seriously.

After all, this place is more than 200 kilometers away from the Zhuri River. He didn't believe that the Blue Army had such great ability to expand the reconnaissance range to this extent.

But Wang Songhe didn't believe in coincidences.

He stared at the night sky with a serious expression, but after a long while, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

He immediately said, "We cannot be careless. There are more than 300 of our main force troops from the 183rd Regiment stationed about 40 kilometers away from here."

"Contact them and strengthen defenses tonight to prevent a surprise attack by the Blue Army."

"Yes!"

Lin Yifeng responded and quickly returned to the command room.

Wang Songhe continued to stare at the night sky, a hint of worry flashing between his brows. He knew all too well the command abilities of that kid from the Blue Army Battalion.

The Blue Army battalion was already well-equipped, and now with the addition of new drones, these things have the ability to tear apart the traditional battlefield.

We must not be careless.

Indeed, we cannot be careless. Wang Songhe was also extremely cautious, but it was precisely because of his caution that the main force of the 183rd Regiment, which the Red Army had joined at Jining South Station, was completely destroyed.

To know.

The Silver Sword UAV not only has reconnaissance and missile launch capabilities, but it can also reach a speed of 260 km/h at an altitude of less than 1500 meters, which is definitely not comparable to fighter jets.

But this thing also has infrared heat source sensing, which can achieve signal coverage of 30 square kilometers at a height of no more than 1500 meters.

Normally, this feature might be somewhat useless.

After all, searching for nearby signal sources on the battlefield is not very effective; radar can do the same thing, and it is more accurate.

But in Jining, it would be extremely fatal.

A silver-gray Silver Sword skimmed low overhead, searching a 20-kilometer radius around Jining South Station.

Furthermore, through heat source sensing, it was found that, apart from the surrounding residents being resting at home, no place was found where hundreds of people had gathered.

Just as the reconnaissance company's remote control console was preparing to travel to more remote areas to conduct reconnaissance and provide ground troops with coordinates for a surprise attack.

The phone call arranged by Wang Songhe suddenly lit up in a desolate area forty kilometers away from Jining South Station.

It's the middle of the night.

And in 2000, in a place where mobile phones were not common, an unfamiliar signal source was suddenly discovered.

The sergeant in charge of operating the drones in the reconnaissance company, driven by mere curiosity, controlled Silver Sword from the terminal to head towards the location where the signal source had lit up.

Less than ten minutes.

Rows of gray military tents erected on the ground appeared in the drone's field of vision.

"found it!"

"We've found the Red Army's location!!"

The old sergeant stood up, his expression filled with excitement.

The sudden commotion startled Chen Mo, Wang Jianbin, and Cheng Dong.

Chen Mo quickly walked to the control terminal.

The soldiers patrolling near the camp were clearly beginning to gather, as if they had received orders to move.

Chen Mo's gaze sharpened, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Quickly, bring all the drones within a 100-kilometer radius here. There's no time to wait for ground-mobilized personnel."

"Mobilize all air firepower and wipe out this Red Army camp."

"Yes!"

Nine more sergeants from the reconnaissance company responded loudly.

The Silver Sword fleet is equipped with a Wild Dog command system for coordinated positioning, and the distance between each other's controls is displayed.

About ten minutes later, six more Silver Swords arrived over the Red Army camp.

Meanwhile, the ground Red Army troops had dispersed and were targeting the tents with camouflage canvases to block heat sources.

Six Silver Swords, plus the original one, make a total of seven, carrying twenty-eight air-to-ground missiles.

Although these missiles were insufficient to destroy a camp of several hundred men scattered across the area, they were enough to rout them.

Chen Mo didn't hesitate any longer, since three more planes were on their way anyway.

"Descend to low altitude for launch."

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Upon receiving the order, seven Silver Swords swooped down from the sky and launched missiles at the ground almost simultaneously.

Boom boom boom! ! !
The soldiers in the Red Army camp on the ground were either carrying ground equipment for camouflage or pulling up tarpaulins; none of them understood what was going on.

Countless explosions rang out all around.

Yellow dust instantly filled the entire camp area with the sound of the explosion.

puff puff puff
One laser simulator after another was triggered, emitting white smoke.

A bombing raid.

Three out of five of the Red Army's main forces were wiped out, and the battalion commander leading the troops looked at the pitch-black night sky and couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy, yet his own side had suffered heavy casualties.

His lips trembled as he dialed the command center's number again.

Just then.

One of the three Silver Swords sent from distant air support locked onto the command post's signal source once again as it passed high above the Red Army's command post.

Out of vigilance.

The veteran sergeant of the reconnaissance company controlled the drone, turned it around, and headed towards the command post.

A tense and exciting battle of annihilation.

And so it began.

. . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . .

P.S.: I was supposed to update a lot during these two days off, but it's been raining at home and we need to harvest the crops, so I can only update when I have time. I can't let the food rot in the fields.

After finishing the farm work these two days, I will definitely update a lot. I hope my readers will understand.

However, this update isn't too meager; eight thousand words is about enough to meet the standard for a two-in-one update, hehe!
