In many military-themed TV dramas and novels, there was a plot that often appeared. In a drill, one side would take out the other side's command center and win the drill.
It wasn't that such a situation didn't exist, but it only happened on a smaller scale in the Red Team versus Blue Team exercises. In a small-scale drill, once one side lost their command, the other side would take advantage of the chaos in the enemy's command center to attack quickly. This would basically lock in the victory.
But a big drill like "Storm" was different. Even if the Red Team's command center was taken out, there were still many troops and a secondary command center below. In a situation where the Blue Team still didn't have the advantage in terms of military strength, it was impossible for them to take advantage of the chaos to completely take out the Red Team in one go.
So the drill wouldn't end at all.
It was also for this reason that the Red Team's frontline troops, who couldn't communicate with the rear, fell into confusion and speculation. This was especially true in the area where the 42nd Regiment was located. Their superior unit, the 4th Division's command center, had been taken out by the Blue Team's special operations team earlier on.
The 42nd Regiment, which had completely lost their command, and the surrounding garrison regiments became even more chaotic after receiving intelligence from the rear from their brothers in other areas.
Before the tank regiment's sudden arrival, the commanders of the surrounding regiments were arguing fiercely. Some of them believed that regardless of whether the command center was taken out or not, due to the lack of communication between the various troops on the frontline, the battle was already at a disadvantage.
Under these circumstances, the Blue Team would definitely seize the opportunity to continue fighting and break through the Red Team's defensive line in one fell swoop. And their own side couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Someone had to take the initiative to attack. After the Blue Team's satellite window had passed, they had to seize the opportunity to rush into the Blue Team's occupied area and fight. Even if they couldn't reap any benefits, they could at least delay the time it took for the Blue Team's troops to attack their own defensive line.
On the other hand, the other side believed that chaos couldn't be allowed at a time like this. The various troops should strictly guard their own defensive area and provide support to the other garrison regiments around them. They shouldn't give the Blue Team any opportunities to take advantage of and wait for the command center to recover.
Just as the two sides were in a heated argument, two teams from the tank regiment arrived. They briefed the commanders of the several regiments about the situation in Area C4. Only then did they know that the remnants of their armored regiment had not been wiped out by the Blue Team. Instead, they were hiding in Area C4.
After the Blue Team's satellite window had passed, if the remnants of the Blue Team's armored regiment could cause trouble behind the Blue Team's frontline position, it would be easy to divert the attention and strength of the Blue Team. If they could take advantage of that time to launch a joint attack, not only would they have a high chance of recapturing Area C4, they could also severely damage or even eliminate several of the Blue Team's frontline troops.
Everyone knew that the strength of the Blue Team was very limited. As long as he seized the opportunity to break a few of their fingers, it would play a crucial role in the subsequent battle.
Just like that, considering the latest information brought back by the tank regiment, the commanders of the few regiments quickly discussed the attack steps and division of labor.
Tactics were easy to come up with, but everything they discussed had to be built on a foundation. That was, the remnants of the armored regiment would be able to stir up trouble behind the Blue Team's frontline troops.
This would require the troops on both sides to cooperate in battle.
In a situation where communications were cut off, the only way to contact the armored regiment was to send someone directly over with the operation plan. Soon, a reconnaissance company from the Red Team set out under the cover of the night.
The reason they sent a company to deliver the operation plan to the armored regiment was not because the commanders of the Red Team believed that the reconnaissance company could rely on their numbers to penetrate the Blue Team's defensive line. It was a tactic.
The Red Team had already grasped the timetable of the Blue Team's satellite window. They knew that the Blue Team's satellite was very likely watching them right now. Thus, only one squad of the reconnaissance company was sent out to carry out the mission of communicating with the armored regiment. The others were all sent to divert the attention of the Blue Team's frontline troops and tie up the energy of the vigilant troops.
Only by using an experienced reconnaissance company to divert the attention of the enemy would the soldiers of that squad have the opportunity to infiltrate the area occupied by the Blue Team.
The execution of the plan went very smoothly. With the cooperation of their comrades, the Red Team's reconnaissance squad successfully broke through the Blue Team's frontline troops' defensive line. After entering the Blue Team's area, the soldiers of that squad once again dispersed and went into hiding.
Because the Blue Team's satellite window had not yet passed, once the soldiers of that squad were locked onto by the satellite, it was very likely that they would send the information to the armored regiment while also leading the pursuers over.
Thus, these soldiers stayed hidden until the satellite window passed. Only then did they begin to emerge from their hiding spots and quickly infiltrate the armored regiment's position.
It just so happened that during this period of time, the Blue Team's satellite had been monitoring Qu Sen the entire time. They did not discover these hidden soldiers, thus allowing them to successfully complete the established tactic.
— —
It was already past one o 'clock in the morning. Qu Sen was finally not far from the armored regiment's hiding spot. However, at this time, his consciousness was somewhat blurry. He was only relying on his willpower to persevere. He was completely relying on his instincts to correct the direction.
Because his consciousness was not clear, when he finally reached the armored regiment's hiding spot, he did not immediately react when the armored regiment's tanks started to move and assemble.
He only used the remnants of his consciousness to search for the armored regiment's command vehicle among the moving tanks. When the armored regiment's command vehicle appeared in his field of vision, he subconsciously ran over.
"Commander, Qu Sen is back!" The armored regiment's command vehicle's driver was the first to discover Qu Sen's figure and hurriedly reported.
After the armored regiment received the request for tactical cooperation from their allies behind them, due to the urgency of time, they immediately began to assemble. However, when the assembly was about to be completed, the armored regiment's commander and his subordinates had not completely decided on the first target to attack.
Although the Blue Team's missile squad was very tempting, after all, the situation had not yet been confirmed. If that was not an important target, time would be delayed. This was because with their current strength, they would probably be quickly dispatched by the Blue Team's mobilized troops. They would not have the time or opportunity to attack the second target.
Therefore, although everyone wanted to destroy the Blues' missile squad, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack, their rationality was still more inclined to attack. They had already determined the Blue Team's mountain brigade's logistical unit's location.
At this moment, Qu Sen appeared. When the people in the command vehicle heard the driver's reminder, they looked out of the vehicle and saw Qu Sen throw himself onto the front of the command vehicle. Then, his body went limp and disappeared from the observation port's field of vision. Fortunately, the driver of the command vehicle reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes in time. Otherwise, the armored vehicle's tracks would have crushed him.
"Get him on the vehicle!"
