Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

"That's right, that's exactly it. Weapons and equipment are the responsibility of the researchers, while training soldiers is the responsibility of us soldiers."

While we must be prepared for potential crises even in times of peace, the probability of a large-scale war is low due to the deterrent effect of our nuclear weapons. However, local wars could break out at any time, and we must be ready to face modern warfare at any moment.

……

In the conference room, the officers were engaged in a lively discussion, each offering their own perspective.

Everyone has different opinions, but generally speaking, the discussion is no longer about the various tactics the Blue Team displayed in the exercise.

The discussion focused on what preparations our military should make in the face of the threat of modern warfare.

This is exactly what Wang Jianguo wanted to see, and it is also the purpose of their continuous selection of the main regiments of various army groups for military exercises, in order to comprehensively promote the reform of mechanization and informatization.

With our current national strength and weaponry, a complete overhaul is certainly impossible, but conducting pilot programs and exploring different approaches is definitely feasible.

First, we need to figure out the right approach. Once the weapons and equipment are in place, we can directly follow that approach to rapidly upgrade the troops and comprehensively improve their combat effectiveness.

Listening to the enthusiastic exchange among the crowd, General Wang Jianguo himself was also reflecting.

The exercise showcased the correct aspects, but the Blue Team's weapons were not only comprehensively advanced, but their personnel were also far too elite, with individual combat skills far exceeding expectations. Therefore, its reference value is not actually very high.

It's unrealistic to train all the troops in the country to be as elite as the Blue Army.

However, it might be worth trying to form a small, pilot unit with elite personnel, comprehensive equipment, and a full range of troop types to serve as a professional opposing force.

This approach requires minimal upfront resources, allows for faster setup and easier operation, and enables you to test the effectiveness and identify problems without attracting too much attention.

……

"Report."

A loud report came from outside the door, pulling General Wang Jianguo out of his thoughts.

"Come in."

Soon a lieutenant colonel entered. He looked quite young, and most of the officers in Army Group A had never seen him before.

Liu Weimin, the commander of Army Group A, carefully examined the visitor. He remembered that he had met this commander of the Blue Force before, who had come to their army group with a colonel.

I never expected to meet you again on an occasion like today.

Seeing Yuan Lang come over and give a standard salute, General Wang Jianguo smiled and returned the salute. Then he pointed to an empty seat next to him and said, "Come on over. You came quite quickly. Have a seat."

Let's hear what everyone's thoughts are like, and then we'll discuss it all together when the Red Team's commander-in-chief arrives.

"Yes," Yuan Lang pulled out a chair and sat down.

I felt a bit emotional. Since I was promoted to acting chief of staff, I've had more and more of these things to do. Back then, the battalion commander did all this work.

After the exercises, he would either go and take a look at anything that interested him, or go back to base to rest. Now that the battalion commander has disappeared, he has to do a lot of the work, and it's not as fun as it used to be.

"So this is the Blue Team's commander-in-chief. He looks very young."

"Just as I expected, the Blue Team's commander is very young. I could tell from his voice that he was very young."

"No, you're mistaken. The one on the radio is the Blue Team's ground command, and this is the Blue Team's overall commander. They're not the same person."

……

"Their fighting style is good and very realistic, but it requires too much equipment and also puts a lot of demands on the commander, especially since they use several different attack methods."

This requires commanders to be proficient in even more areas.

"What you're saying isn't a problem. We can solve it by equipping ourselves with more operations staff. The important issue is equipment."

……

With Yuan Lang's arrival, the discussion in the conference room veered slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

Time ticked by until nine o'clock, which was two hours and fifty minutes after General Wang Jianguo issued the order.

Another loud report rang out outside the conference room.

"Come in."

As the conference room door opened, another colonel walked in; it was Liang Xi, the commander of the 77th Regiment.

"Haha, Commander Liang is here. Please sit down," Wang Jianguo said, pointing to a seat opposite Yuan Lang.

"Yes, sir."

After Liang Xi saluted, he sat down and looked up to see Yuan Lang opposite him. Noticing that the other man had his face covered in greasepaint, he knew that this was the commander-in-chief of the Blue Team.

Liang Xi carefully examined the other person, who was wearing an unfamiliar camouflage uniform and whose helmet was different from their Type 80 steel helmet.

Although the camouflage cover obscures the helmet's material, it appears to fit the head shape better, is lighter, smaller, and more streamlined than their large, round steel helmets.

Although his face was covered by greasepaint, it was still clear that he was a very young officer, a lieutenant colonel, yet he was already the commander of the Blue Force, a clear case of a high rank being a low-ranking position.

"The younger generation is truly formidable," Liang Xi couldn't help but think to herself.

"Alright, now that our two main characters for today are here, let's officially begin," Wang Jianguo clapped his hands, his gaze sweeping across the room, finally focusing on Yuan Lang and Liang Xi.

"I've called you two commanders over here, not to criticize or praise anyone, but simply to have a chat with you both."

"Tell me your thoughts. Say whatever you think, be open and honest, say whatever comes to mind. Is that alright?"

"No," Yuan Lang and Liang Xi answered in unison.

"Alright," General Wang Jianguo looked at Yuan Lang and said with a smile, "Since the Blue Team won today, Lieutenant Colonel Yuan, as the Blue Team's commander-in-chief, you go first."

Explain your strategy and battle plan. Let everyone hear how you managed to almost completely annihilate an entire main force regiment in just a few minutes.

"Yes, sir," Yuan Lang straightened up and moved the microphone in front of him. "Comrades, comrades, actually, our operational plan for this exercise is very simple."

Our primary task is to defend our position, but we are far outnumbered by the 77th Regiment. We can only rely on our superior equipment. Once we eliminate the 77th Regiment, we will naturally be able to hold our ground.

Our helicopters can ensure that our combat personnel can move freely in this mountain forest at any time, and our communications system allows me to contact each of my combat personnel at any time.

For a main force regiment like the 77th Regiment, which has a 122mm howitzer group, it was obviously not feasible to fight a positional war. Therefore, we drew on the three-wave attack strategy from the Gulf War.

First, infiltrate the 77th Regiment's defense zone to ascertain its command center, communication routes, heavy firepower positions, and logistics points. If infiltration is successful, plant timed bombs directly.

If not, record the coordinates, and then use missiles for precision bombing.
