Chapter 27: A Battle of Wits and Bravery! A Vicious Kick to the Lame Leg!
The red and blue lines of defense both had their weaknesses.
Almost as soon as both sides settled into their positions, the blue side's commander, General Xu, the same one who had staged a ‘fire in the deep mountains’ for Zhao Jianjun, immediately issued orders.
He ordered the blue side's air squadron and all artillery units to bombard the enemy's artillery positions.
He also ordered two nearby units to flank and attack the enemy's artillery positions from both sides.
This was a ruthless strike, taking advantage of the red side's exposed weaknesses.
It was no different from kicking the good leg of a cripple.
Suddenly, the battlefield transformed, the rapid pace leaving everyone breathless.
First, the forced march in the early morning, followed by conflicts during the march, and then, upon settling into their positions, they launched attacks… The exercise was more exciting and stimulating than any blockbuster movie, thanks to the continuous orders issued by the red and blue command centers.
The red side also responded quickly.
The artillery unit, originally exposed at the designated location, hastily retreated while the air force provided low-altitude cover.
He also ordered 8-Ye's air squadron to create an opening in the northeastern direction, allowing three tank battalions to gather and form a spearhead for a targeted breakthrough from this direction!
After that, infantry units would follow, dividing the battlefield and gradually wiping out the enemy.
If General Xu of the blue side was resourceful and his tactics unpredictable, always surprising everyone, then General Qin of the red side was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, exuding an aura of sharpness from start to finish.
Needle against needle.
Under two completely different combat strategies, the red and blue forces clashed fiercely on the battlefield.
In this round, however, the blue side ultimately gained the advantage.
The red side suffered heavy losses in their artillery units due to the air force being ambushed.
The further loss of heavy firepower units was like a bleeding wound, torn open a bit further.
However, they could not recover these losses from the northeastern direction of the blue side.
This was because the blue side let 8-Ye and the tank battalion in, but cut off the infantry following behind.
With a strong head and body but a weak waist, the intercepted infantry, lacking the cover of planes and tanks, were unable to penetrate the blue side's defense.
As for the tank battalion and 8-Ye, who were intentionally let in, they were systematically defeated and devoured by the blue side’s various units.
"For how many years now, still playing the same old tricks?"
General Xu of the blue side, wearing a steel helmet, smiled.
They were all classmates at the military academy’s advanced training program, and they were familiar with each other’s tactics.
If the exercise hadn't been as thrilling as tonight, the steady, open and aggressive tactics of the old classmates would indeed be uncomfortable. His deployment of troops, sensitivity to the battlefield, understanding of the situation, and grasp of timing, all reflected his expertise.
However, in tonight's high-intensity, fast-paced simulation, he made a mistake.
At the same time, General Qin of the red side seemed to recognize his own misjudgment.
With quick decisiveness, he issued new orders.
Red side troops, contract your lines, abandon all predetermined positions, and open up a new battlefield.
Seeing all the red side's troops retreating en masse, the blue side didn't rush to pursue. Apart from reorganizing their forces, they didn't press their advantage to “beat a drowning dog.”
It was a simple principle, don't chase a desperate enemy.
In warfare, the losses in defense are always smaller than those in attack.
Finally, after the forced march in the early morning, the smell of gunpowder that had pervaded the battlefield since then subsided.
But…
"You think you're the only one with cunning tactics?"
In the northeastern direction of the battlefield, a row of domestically-produced 8-Ye f200 military transport planes soared through the high sky, followed by another row of 8-Ye military transport helicopters at low altitude.
They were only spotted after penetrating deep into the blue side's territory.
It turned out that the previous clearing of the way for 8-Ye and the tank battalion was never meant to be a real targeted breakthrough.
It was meant to clear a path for the paratroopers!
They had been discovered, but so what?
"Jump!!!"
With one order, the 'Tiger Battalion' scattered like dandelion seeds blown by the wind, floating down through the air.
Following them down, were a bunch of cute Cat-Cat trucks…
Paratroopers are meant to be surrounded!
How can you catch a tiger without venturing into the tiger's lair?
