Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

They said there would be an exercise mission as soon as he returned, but it was a week later when Zhang Anbang finally received the mission.

Overall, Zhang Anbang was quite satisfied with this business trip, as he got to eat and drink for free and didn't even have to take the old-fashioned green train to and from the trip.

I also got a pack of cigarettes that I'd never seen before, and after smoking it, I found it quite good.

The only regret was that he didn't get to see the submariners who had just come ashore; he really wanted to see his ancestors who had just landed.

There are four types of tyrannical military police that you shouldn't mess with: the young master of the motor transport company, the old man of the cookhouse, the princess of the medical team, and the ancestor who just landed.

An earlier version of the story said that the resentment of a submariner who had just come ashore could kill four Sadakos. Later, the story changed to say that one could make the Evil Sword Immortal break the box from the very beginning.

The most miserable one was the political commissar, who not only had to comfort others, but also himself.

These guys, whose food and benefits are even better than those of pilots, are fearless and will fight if the police dare to investigate them.

For them, is solitary confinement even a big deal?

Being locked in a small, dark room is a kind of enjoyment; at least it's a private room, without high temperatures, noise, and good air circulation so it doesn't shake.

Zhang Anbang spent a long time looking around the campsite and the beach, hoping to find any ancestors lounging there, sunbathing and smoking.

It's a pity I didn't get to see them, but that's normal. These comrades who stayed in harsh conditions for dozens of days at a time, apart from their leaders, no one knew when they would be able to get ashore.

Zhang Anbang could only hope that he would have time to meet them someday. After all, he had already met the young master of the motor transport company, the princess of the medical team, and the old man of the cooking squad. He had to get them all together eventually.

Of course, he wasn't idle during this time either; in his spare time from training and studying, he did handicrafts.

He made a semi-modular modification to the existing fixed carrying gear, removing the original fixed magazine pouch and moving it to a more convenient position.

I also added a few straps to achieve a simple mounting function.

After some testing, the results were quite good. The equipment fits the body better, doesn't wobble or get stuck, and makes various tactical movements smoother.

The reload efficiency has been improved by two seconds, and the movement is also very stable.

The holster was also modified; the extra buckles were removed, the tilt angle was readjusted, and a drawstring was added.

The test results were acceptable. It pulled out a little too quickly, but when putting it back, the pull cord needed to be adjusted, so the speed was about the same as before.

……

The new exercise mission was not much different from the previous battle against 702, except that the opponent was different. This time it was the 77th Regiment of the 3rd Division of Army Group A, a veteran Class A motorized infantry regiment.

This is a mountain-type assault regiment with a total strength of 2,800 men.

Regiment Commander Liang Xi is a tough, old-school officer who is also extremely skilled in offensive warfare. In previous exercises, he often took the lead and charged ahead of his men.

The subordinate battalion and company commanders were also brave and daring officers who valued tradition, and the soldiers were hardworking, skilled in close combat and night fighting.

It consists of three infantry battalions, one regimental artillery battalion, and directly subordinate communications, motor transport, and special service companies.

This is an old unit that has maintained the traditions of the Red Army. While most regiments were reorganized into police and reconnaissance companies, police and communications companies, it still retained the name of the special service company.

Unlike the previous 702 exercise, this exercise did not involve a large-scale meeting. Instead, it only established a rapid combat strategy with Yuan Lang leading the overall command and Zhang Anbang serving as the ground commander.

It's not that Regiment 77 lacks talent, but rather that the number of invitations for trial training for the new season of Old A has already been largely determined, so there's no need to conduct additional talent assessments now.

The goal is to resolve this exercise quickly and achieve its objectives.

Yuan Lang, acting chief of staff and battalion commander of the 1st Operations Battalion, and Zhang Anbang, acting deputy battalion commander, briefly discussed and formulated a strategy.

February 24th, 6:00 AM, is the official start time of the exercise.

Old A is also on the defensive side, still holding the 034 high ground.

On February 23, the 77th Regiment had moved to its designated position. The more than two thousand men of the 77th Regiment were all busy setting up camp, constructing positions, and laying defensive lines...

Everyone was busy as bees.

团属炮兵营的6门100mm 迫击炮已经034高地的一侧布置完毕，射程15公里的18门122mm 牵引榴弹炮更是停在了极为安全的位置，布置了炮兵阵地。

Clearly, they had heard about the fighting style of Team A, the Blue Team.

The anti-aircraft artillery company deployed its four twin-barreled 37mm anti-aircraft guns and Hongying-5 man-portable air defense missiles around the howitzer positions.

The regimental headquarters was only guarded by a special operations company.

The objective was extremely simple: to wait for the exercise signal to start, then immediately begin shelling and, with coordinated infantry and artillery fire, capture Hill 034, which served as a springboard for the advance.

At this time, there was no one at the Old A position. Zhang Anbang, the ground commander who had bombed the Old A before, knew that the 034 could not hide anyone when he saw the 18 122mm howitzers of the 77th Regiment.

A single shot from 122mm can cover half a football field; 18 shots down, even Batman couldn't withstand it.

After finalizing the plan with Yuan Lang, Zhang Anbang went to Zhao Dezhu, the head of the ordnance department, to apply for the use of plastic-1 simulated explosives for the exercise.

As a veteran ordnance section chief, Comrade Zhao Dezhu, a battalion commander, has served in the Old A unit for ten years without ever making a mistake.

All conventional weapons, ammunition, explosives, detonators, fuses, training explosives, and special operations equipment were neatly categorized and organized under his command.

Therefore, he has a catchy nickname that sounds like his name: "Zhao De Zhu" (meaning "able to protect").

No matter what equipment is being retrieved, as long as Section Chief Zhao is present, he can tell you directly which room and which shelf it is without needing to look through any records.

Upon seeing the application form in Zhang Anbang's hand, Section Chief Zhao Dezhu readily signed it. "Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, we've never used this thing in any previous exercises. What were you thinking?"

Zhang Anbang smiled and said, "Hey, Section Chief Zhao, those 18 122mm howitzers from the 77th Regiment look a bit too scary. I'm going to decorate them a bit so they'll look better."

"Haha, you little rascal, that's the only heavy firepower in their entire regiment. If you do this, won't their regimental commander curse you out?" Section Chief Zhao joked as he signed the papers.

"Hey, that's none of my business. My mission is to win this exercise. If you need anything else, go find the battalion commander and the chief of staff. I'm just a soldier following orders," Zhang Anbang cleanly passed the blame.

"Okay, that's very much our tradition. I'll send someone to deliver it to you in a bit. The more the merrier, right?"

"Absolutely, the main selling point is that it's generous in portion and filling."
