Chapter 936: Hidden Murder Behind Peace
Chapter 936: Hidden Murder Behind Peace
As night falls, on the back of a hillside in the exercise area.
There were two command vehicles parked there, with simple camouflage around the vehicle bodies, and even a khaki camouflage net was pulled up.
Even if a reconnaissance plane flew over, it would be difficult to detect the people and vehicles hidden underneath.
In addition, the vehicle is equipped with the most advanced anti-reconnaissance device, which can avoid radar tracking.
At this time, in one of the vehicles, Lu Chong from the 33rd Combined Brigade was talking to Man Xiongzhi.
"Comrade Lao Lu, how are you?"
On the other end of the communicator, Man Xiongzhi greeted enthusiastically.
On his side, Lu Chong also smiled and said, "Commander Man, I never thought that our former rivals would become partners now."
Man Xiongzhi: "Ah, this is what they call a changing world. I never thought I would be fighting alongside you guys. Don't tell me, my face still hurts a little bit."
Lu Chong laughed heartily and highly admired Man Xiongzhi's open-mindedness.
The only defeat the Prairie Professional Blues had suffered before was against them.
The fact that he could actively make fun of this matter and laugh at himself shows that Man Xiongzhi has an extraordinary level of inner resilience.
As the saying goes, if you want to play with memes, it’s more fun to play them yourself.
The two chatted briefly to warm up their relationship, and then officially got down to work.
Man Xiongzhi asked from the other end, "Brigade Commander Lu, what's the current progress of your main force? How many have entered the exercise site?"
Lü Chong said: "Before receiving the order from the superiors, I had already ordered the troops to move out as a whole. Now, one-third of the troops have entered the exercise area, and the Steel Knife Battalion, the main force of our brigade, is the first to enter."
Man Xiongzhi nodded, thinking that the plan and strategy they implemented at the very beginning was to station the Steel Knife Battalion near the exercise area.
Just wait for the order and you can enter in the shortest time and wait for the opportunity.
And Man Xiongzhi will not waste this opportunity.
The support force has the strength of a full brigade.
With so many people and so much equipment, and coming from different camps, it is definitely impossible for them all to be in place at once.
It is normal for them to arrive in batches.
Man Xiongzhi asked about the arrival time and route of the rest of the troops, and then reminded him.
"There's something you need to remind your soldiers of. If I were Qin Feng, I would probably set up an ambush along the way."
"Before all of you arrive at the battlefield, some of you have already been reduced in numbers."
Lu Chong nodded: "I know, that's why we set off early, and the route and time of departure are kept absolutely confidential, just to guard against this kid."
Man Xiongzhi reminded again: "This alone is not enough. We must also ask everyone along the route to be vigilant. If possible, it would be best to arrange for comrades from the railway department to survey the railway along the route to prevent accidents."
Lu Chong could understand Man Xiongzhi's caution.
Because Qin Feng would do such a thing, and he had done it before.
So just in case, after the call ended later, he would still give orders to the teams coming from the railway line to be vigilant and take precautions to prevent any accidents.
Lu Chong asked: "Do I need to reunite with you?"
Man Xiongzhi shook his head: "No, I plan to adopt a dual command strategy. This will disperse the targets, confuse the enemy's sight, and ensure that the command system will not be exploited to the greatest extent possible."
"I'll send you an address later and have the Steel Blade Combined Battalion send half of its troops to escort you there and set up a temporary command post."
"The other part is under my command. I'm going to make a preemptive strike and change our tactics to cause some damage to the red team."
After hanging up the call, Lu Chong ordered Zhou Fujun to split the team in half.
Let Xu Tiancai escort the commanding personnel to the designated location and set up camp.
Another part, led by Battalion Commander Zhou Fujun, followed the orders of Man Xiongzhi and launched a surprise attack on a defensive position of the Red Army.
......
On the other side, a carriage on a green train was packed with people.
There were soldiers everywhere, whether on the seats, under the seats, in the aisles or on the luggage racks.
They were soldiers from the 4th Company of the Sharpshooter Battalion of a Combined Brigade, and were ordered to rush to the battlefield to support the front line.
In the corridor at the toilet door, the fourth company commander Wu Jian was smoking a cigarette, looking at the scenery slowly passing by outside, wondering what he was thinking.
Soon, the instructor came out of the toilet and saw Wu Jian still smoking. He asked curiously, "Why don't you go get some sleep?"
Wu Jian: "I can't sleep."
Instructor: “Why?”
Wu Jian told him, "I don't know why, but I have a feeling this battle might not go as smoothly as I imagined. Last night I had a dream where I won a battle, but it ended tragically."
"By the end, almost everyone on both sides had been killed, and the yellow earth was covered with densely packed corpses..."
The instructor rubbed his goosebumps and made a creepy expression. "Your dream is too realistic. It's not that real, it's not that real. It's just an exercise. Besides, don't we have an absolute advantage?"
Wu Jian: "That's why I said it was a pyrrhic victory."
The instructor said, "A pyrrhic victory isn't a victory. Don't treat bean buns as solid food. Okay, after you finish your cigarette, find a place to close your eyes for a while. You might not have time to sleep when you're on the battlefield."
Wu Jian nodded and quickly finished his cigarette, but just as he was about to return to the carriage, the train made a sharp braking sound and finally stopped steadily on the track.
Because the speed was not very fast, the inertia caused was not very large, but even so, Wu Jian still staggered.
Some soldiers in the carriage who had a bad sleeping posture were also woken up by this.
"Reached?"
"So fast?"
"They shouldn't be there yet, right? Why are they stopped halfway?"
Everyone looked up and opened their eyes, looking at the company commander Wu Jian.
Wu Jian was also confused at this moment and didn't know why the car stopped suddenly.
Just then, an announcement came over the radio that due to a landslide ahead, part of the railway section was impassable.
There are only two options now: either get off the train and walk to the nearest station to transfer, or take this train and return the same way.
The content of the broadcast was repeated several times, and the passengers in the other carriages immediately complained, while the specialized carriage carrying the Fourth Company and other companies fell into silence.
When encountering such a thing, a question popped up in almost everyone's mind.
"Is this a coincidence?"
"No matter how you look at it, this looks like something man-made. The purpose is to trick us into getting off the bus, right?"
The company commanders of the other carriages found Wu Jian, and they gathered together to discuss countermeasures and see what to do.
Finally, Wu Jian reported the situation to his superiors and sought their opinions.
The superiors also felt that there must be something wrong with the unusual situation, but as the troops rushed to the front line one after another, they were still tied up here, unable to get up or down.
So, their superiors ordered them to stay in the vehicle and wait for it to return to the nearest stop, from where they could take other means of transportation to the battlefield.
Wu Jian informed the others of the situation: "For now, wait here and arrange for the scouts to disembark and patrol along the tracks to prevent any attacks."
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."
Wu Jian opened the car door and looked around.
It seems peaceful, but there is always a feeling that danger is approaching.
