Chapter 244 Kong Jie was covered by artillery fire at the beginning "Fair? How come you three groups are fair to Qin Yangming and his thirty men?" Just when Kong Jie, an honest boy, was still feeling that this was somewhat unfair, the brigade commander also brought his men to Fu'an County. "Hello, Brigadier!" Seeing the brigade commander coming in, Li Yunlong and the other two quickly stood up and saluted. "Alright, alright, continue your discussion. I'm just here to act as a referee. How you deploy your troops is your business. I don't care." After returning the salute, the brigade commander walked to the map and began to look at it. "This is the first time I haven't seen a sand table in your headquarters." "Hey, Brigade Commander, isn't this too tight? We are arranging personnel to observe the terrain of Fu'an County, and the sand table is still being made. The sand table of the entire county is too big for our people to handle. We have to wait for Xiao Qin to make time to do it. "

"You guys discuss your own things, don't bother with me. By the way, where's your exercise plan? Show it to me." Hearing the brigade commander's question, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other. "Brigade Commander, what's the exercise plan?" It was the first time for everyone to do an exercise, and they were a little confused when they heard what the brigade commander said. "Don't you have a drill plan? Didn't Xiao Qin tell you? For example, how do you defend and how does Xiao Qin attack? Don’t you have a rough plan?” Listening to what the three people said, the brigade commander thought that they did not understand what the exercise plan meant, so he spoke. Listening to the brigade commander's words, Li Yunlong shook his head and spoke first. "Brigade Commander, you are talking about this training plan, right? We discussed it with Xiao Qin at the beginning. But we all think that if we carry out this training and exercise in an actual combat situation, then how can there be any plan? It is impossible for everything to go according to plan in a war, so everyone has to improvise and conduct the exercise in the same way as in actual combat. Except that you cannot actually open fire, everything else is similar to a normal battle. " Listening to Li Yunlong's words, the brigade commander nodded. “Yes, that’s fine, it’s right to treat the training as actual combat. But how are you going to let me act as a referee and decide who wins and who loses?" "Brigade Commander, we discussed this at the very beginning. Brigade Commander, all your guard battalions will wear white sleeves and form patrol referee teams with fixed referees. Neither we nor Xiao Qin are allowed to disguise as referees. At the same time, there will be middlemen sent by both sides to assist in the introduction beside the referee. Unless the referee asks, the personnel from both sides are absolutely not allowed to say a word, and are absolutely not allowed to reveal the intelligence they have discovered to their respective troops. Violators will be committing fouls. If it is our side that commits a foul, then all our troops must stay where they are for ten minutes and release the assault platoon soldiers who were caught for the foul. If the assault platoon violates the rules, they must hand over a soldier as a prisoner of war to our prisoner-of-war camp.

Then the exercise will begin, and you, the brigade commander, will make the announcement. That is to say, once all the referees are in place, you can immediately announce the start of the exercise." In terms of rules, Ding Wei is the main person in charge of formulating them, so he knows them best. Listening to Ding Wei's introduction, the brigade commander nodded in approval. …… As both sides quickly made preparations, Qin Yangming, who was still at the vanguard regiment headquarters, turned pale when he learned about the actions of Li Yunlong and others. "No, are these three guys so afraid of my special forces? They have lost all their dignity and mobilized all the troops into Fu'an County?!" Qin Yangming became nervous when he saw Xing Zhiguo standing in front of him and asking him to arrange the vanguard group to go to various areas of Fu'an County to perform defense tasks. Where is this kind of defense? All troops withdrew into the county town and all fortifications outside were abandoned. Although it would be absolutely impossible to do this in a real operation, this is just a drill, and drills are bound to involve all kinds of weird operations. Xing Zhiguo felt a little embarrassed listening to Qin Yangming's complaints. There are three regiments, with more than 7,000 combat personnel in total, all of whom have retreated into the county town. How can Qin Yangming fight? "Xiao Qin, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to win this time. By the way, this is the approximate distribution map of all the troops inside Fu'an County. The brigade commander arranged for the reconnaissance personnel to draw it. If this is a real attack. This is all the information we have been able to gather.” After Xing Zhiguo finished speaking, he handed the defense map in his hand to Qin Yangming, and then quickly left the vanguard group. According to the rules of the play, Xing Zhiguo is also one of the senior officers on the defending side. "Hey, Captain, Captain Li and the others are just playing dirty. How can you defend like this?" After Xing Zhiguo left, Zhangye couldn't help but complain. Listening to Zhangye's complaints, Qin Yangming shook his head. “Forget it. Although it looks like the captain and his men are playing dirty, who can say for sure what happens on the battlefield? It's not impossible to give up the outer defense and focus on defending the county town." "Then, Commander, how are you going to fight this time? With so many people, the assault platoon might not even be able to enter the county town." Seeing the helplessness on Qin Yangming's face, Zhangye looked at the spread-out city defense map with some worry. …… Time passed quickly. After all the referee teams were in place, the brigade commander did not hesitate and directly announced the start of the exercise. He really wanted to see how Qin Yangming planned to enter Fu'an County and defeat senior military officers such as Li Yunlong. But as the sun set, Qin Yangming did not move at all. Li Yunlong and others speculated that Qin Yangming must be planning a night attack, so they quickly sent more people to stand guard on the city wall and did not arrange patrol teams to prevent the assault team from sneaking in. The normal patrol defense is handed over to the patrol team led by the referee team, so there is no need to worry even if any unexpected situation occurs. "Hey, this is weird. It's been a long time, and Xiao Qin hasn't made any movement." In the military camp on the east side of the city wall of Fu'an County, Li Yunlong walked back and forth in the camp, thinking about what Qin Yangming was going to do.

Zhao Gang, who was sitting on the side roasting a corn on a stick over the fire, saw Li Yunlong walking back and forth and couldn't help but smile and speak. "Needless to say, they are definitely preparing for a night attack. The night is the best cover for the assault platoon. Otherwise, if we attack during the day, how can the assault platoon, with just a few people, be a match for your three regiments?" Listening to what Zhao Gang said, Li Yunlong walked over to Zhao Gang, sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it. "Old Zhao, you didn't see what happened that time when Xiao Qin led his men to destroy the entire independent regiment headquarters without wasting a single soldier or firing a single shot. That time, I, Li Yunlong, was really shocked. I, Li Yunlong, had fought for more than ten years, and it was the first time I knew that it was possible to fight in this way. This is why I decided to set up a commando team later. A small group of elite troops can really have some unexpected effects on the battlefield. Especially someone like Xiao Qin..." "call out!" Just when Li Yunlong was about to talk about how powerful Qin Yangming's assault platoon was, three red flares suddenly lit up outside the city. Afterwards, a referee with a white cloth bag tied to his arm came to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. Looking at the signal flares in the distance and the referee walking in front of him, Li Yunlong's face changed. "I was knocked out?" The referee shook his head after listening to what Li Yunlong said. "Comrade Li Yunlong, the assault platoon just used rocket launchers to bombard Fu'an County, firing 150 large-caliber rockets, including incendiary bombs, so now a fire has begun inside Fu'an County. And because the assault platoon knew where the grain warehouse was, all the incendiary bombs were fired at the grain warehouse. According to the rules of the exercise, you must immediately mobilize a force of at least 400 people to go to the grain warehouse to put out the fire. If half an hour is not completed, all the grain in the entire Fu'an County will be burned. In addition, the military camp was bombed by high-explosive rockets, causing 200 casualties. Please choose a unit to withdraw from the exercise." Hearing what the referee said, Li Yunlong's face turned dark. "Qin Yangming, this bastard, only has a total quota of 1,000 rockets, and he has fired 150 in one go. What does he want to do?" Although the assault platoon only had about thirty people, it was stipulated during the exercise that the assault platoon had a rocket quota of one thousand rockets. After all, the vanguard regiment is just outside. If they really launch an attack on Fu'an County, there will be far more than just a thousand rockets. Before Li Yunlong finished speaking, a green flare was launched into the air again. The referee looked at the flare rising into the sky in the distance, asked the soldier of the vanguard regiment beside him what the green flare meant, then walked up to Li Yunlong again and spoke. "Comrade Li Yunlong, the assault platoon has fired another 300 rockets into the county. The targets are the military camp, the headquarters, the arsenal... Now the people in the entire county are beginning to fall into chaos due to the large-scale bombardment. You need to mobilize troops to enter the county immediately to stabilize the situation." “In addition, according to the exercise and the behavior of the assault platoon, in this round of shelling, thirty rockets will fall directly on the county center command center. The county’s central command center is less than three kilometers away from the city. At this distance, rockets can cover the entire command center. So at this moment, Commander Kong Jie who stayed behind at the command center was killed." ……

Outside the city, Qin Yangming looked at the map in his hand and the troops being mobilized on the city wall, and once again took a flying monkey from behind him. There is no real war going on, so there is naturally no need to use real flares. After all, flares are not cheap. Just use rockets to make it look like something is going to happen. "Captain, we have fired almost half of our rockets, do we still need to continue firing? Now that the fight is over, how are we going to get out of the city later?" "It's okay, just fire another fifty rounds. The referee recorded that fifty rockets were fired directly at the city wall! " "no problem." Qin Yangming shot out another firework, and then led thirty special forces soldiers to rush quickly towards the city wall. According to the rules of the exercise, their assault platoon had artillery support from the vanguard regiment, so there was no need to leave anyone outside to operate the rocket launcher and they could take all the personnel directly into the city. After seeing the fireworks in the sky, the soldiers on the city wall realized that Qin Yangming was covering the section of the wall where he was with artillery fire. Judging from the power and density of the rockets, all the soldiers on the city wall at this moment would be knocked down by the shells. Listening to the referee's words, Zhang Dabiao, who was in charge of defense, was full of disbelief. "You mean, all of my battalion of more than 200 people were wiped out by Xiao Qin's artillery fire?" “Captain Zhang, that’s not a problem. You’ve seen the power of our vanguard’s rockets. Even if there are 200 more people on the city wall, they can’t stop it. And it was a rocket fired directly at them, so everyone had to hide in the dark places." The pioneer soldier who was responsible for helping to explain the weapon power, range, and what each flare meant listened to what Zhang Dabiao said, and at the referee's signal, he began to explain to Zhang Dabiao. "Well, what about me? Am I considered dead or alive?" "He was killed in action. There is no shelter on the city wall. According to the power of the rocket-propelled grenade the Vanguard Regiment mentioned, there are thousands of steel balls in it. Once it explodes on the city wall, there will be no survivors nearby." The referee walked up to Zhang Dabiao, pointed at the soldier who was still on guard and continued speaking. "Captain Zhang, all the soldiers on the city wall have been killed. According to the drill rules, it will take at least ten minutes for new soldiers to discover the situation here, and twenty minutes before they can support the city wall." As soon as the referee finished speaking, several hooks were thrown directly onto the city wall. Everyone looked down and saw the huge Qin Yangming grabbing a rope and climbing up the city wall quickly. Behind them, there were soldiers from the assault platoon, each of them holding a long bamboo pole in groups of five, with one soldier in front of the pole quickly rushing towards the city wall. "No, this, this..." Zhang Dabiao knew that the assault platoon was very powerful, but at this moment he saw that the soldiers of the assault platoon didn't even need a ladder. They just used a rope and a bamboo pole to climb the city wall, and they actually climbed up! This made Zhang Dabiao unable to find words to describe it for a moment. "Hey, Lao Zhang, I didn't expect you were stationed here. If you had told me earlier, I would have changed direction." Looking at Zhang Dabiao who took off his hat and looked dejected, Qin Yangming couldn't help but joked. "Since your first battalion is stationed here, there must be a radio station." "Don't ask me, I'm dead and can't speak."

Listening to what Zhang Dabiao said, Qin Yangming smiled, and then called on people to go into the city gate tower to find the radio and code book. "Where's the drill code book?" It was just an exercise, so there was no special confidential information. We just made a code book and the premium was automatically activated after the exercise. Looking at the exercise code book in front of him, Qin Yangming immediately opened it and began to check it. "Send a telegram to the New 1st Regiment's Artillery Battalion and tell them that Zhang Dabiao encountered the assault platoon. Ask them to immediately cover the following coordinates with artillery fire." "Yes!" Duan Peng took the code book handed to him by Qin Yangming, and immediately arranged for the telegraph operator to use the radio station he brought with him to start sending messages to the artillery battalion of the New 1st Regiment. According to the regulations of the exercise, the central command center of Fu'an County was destroyed in the second round of shelling. The telephone switchboard of Fu'an County was located in the central command center. The loss of the central command center meant that all telephones in the entire Fu'an County could not be used. So I can only rely on the radio. (End of this chapter)
