CHAPTER XXV
Area Three.
As a coastal area, the topography here is the most peculiar in the entire garrison area of the Southeast Military Region.
Unlike the plains of the entire southeastern region, the coastal area of Area 3 is a continuous mountainous area. The coast is more than 20 meters high at the highest point above sea level, and only four or five meters at the lowest point.
There are no tidal flats, although it is quite difficult for the attacker to rush to the beach, but it has the same restriction on the defender in terms of vision.
If you want to rely on the strength of the entire combat readiness division to line everyone up along the coastline, maybe the number of troops is sufficient, but only a fool will distribute the superior forces evenly in this way.
The commanders of the Blue Command are not fools, on the contrary, there are not a few people like Commander Liu who have experienced real wars.
Commander-in-Chief Han Shangqing is the deputy commander of the Southeast Military Region, and it was he who took Regiment Commander Liu's unit to participate in the war, and now he is already a lieutenant general.
Not to mention Song Ping, chief of the General Staff, whose command ability is well-known in the whole army, and many bigwigs of the Central Military Commission have praised him for turning war command into an art.
Imagine how these two people could do such a stupid thing.
The sappers mined up and down the steep slopes.
A few strategically important heights were left to the artillerymen for defense.
As for the cliffs that are easy to climb, they are all defended by the company. If you look at the layout on the electronic map of the Blue Army Headquarters, you will defend these companies and artillery positions, forming a large net with each other. The most advanced mesh holes are filled with various mine positions.
As for the big rear, it was not taken lightly.
Not only did it leave a battalion of troops to defend it tightly, but it also made all kinds of weapons and equipment such as amphibious armor, infantry tanks, and self-propelled guns seem loose, but in fact they are tightly distributed around the headquarters.
Once the mission is issued, these weapons will be able to arrive on the battlefield in a very short time.
Shen Yun's first company was assigned to Area 3391.
Area 3391 is relatively flat, but it is also eight meters above sea level. This is not the first choice for beach landings, but if the Red side occupies this area, it will be quite convenient to land by sea and gather troops in large numbers.
The task of the first company is to snipe at all invading enemies, and once the red side has too many troops to resist, it will immediately call the artillery positions on Heights 3394, which is not far away, to carry out cleansing bombardment.
Therefore, the most urgent task of the company is to set up various sentry posts and take turns to be on guard 24 hours a day.
An automatic alarm device has been hung on the cliff wall, and there is still no one.
At a distance of one meter from the sea level, there is a thin fishing line made of paint. If Red climbs from this area, an alarm will be triggered as soon as it touches the fishing line.
The second is in the middle of the cliff.
Infrared sensors are placed on both sides of this position.
Even if the red side climbs at night, when it reaches this position, the body radiation that was originally covered by the sea water can no longer be hidden with the movement, and it will naturally be detected at this position.
As for the top alarm device, it is even more ruthless. Thunderbolts hung directly on the vines around the cliff face. Shen Yun looked at it, to say the least, there were hundreds, basically there must be one within one or two meters.
But that's not all.
The first company commander is a ruthless guy, which Shen Yun has known for a long time. On the top of the cliff, the three platoons were divided into guard areas and built fortifications.
The company commander's plan did not intend to face the artillery fire directly, so the three positions were all located on the two sides of the fan-shaped artillery coverage area. After all, there are a few small hills in the way.
However, where trenches and other fortifications were not built, anti-infantry directional mines were scattered sporadically.
The three platoons led by Shen Yun are responsible for the construction of trenches and bunkers on the right side and the burial of mines in the right front.
Fifteen days of defense is not a short time. The standard for the construction of fortifications was carried out according to semi-permanent fortifications. Considering that the rest of the troops' lives were completely carried out in the position, the trench style was made into a crouching type.
110 cm depth, 100 cm opening, and 60 cm bottom. In addition to this, a 30-centimeter-high breast wall was made of earth from above.
In addition, a hole in the cat's ear was dug on one side for people to rest and avoid the cold.
It's quite a project.
However, all this is just the assignment of tasks, and there is no rush to work. After all, everyone hadn't eaten dinner before they came, and now the cooking class had prepared the food, and dinner officially began.
It was past nine o'clock, and it was completely dark.
A couple of tactical flashlights were turned on, and a group of people lined up to get a meal. Shen Yun thought of Liang Hongbing and Wang Ke, who were still in the health team, so he had to bite the bullet and find the front of the company commander.
"Company commander, look, there is a soldier in our platoon who is overworked today, is it okay to let the comrades in the cooking squad work hard and add some food or something."
The company commander scooped up the noodles in the lunch box, sucked them and ate them into his mouth, chewed two bites, and glanced at Shen Yun: "You kid knows how to give me the whole thing." Okay, don't be an afterthought, the instructor has already said hello to the cooking class.
When you were busy just now, the food had already been delivered, and you had a share with your squad leader. By the way, the battalion commander was angry enough just now, you kid should think about how to get past him. ”
Shen Yun smiled and said thank you to the instructor, and then looked at the company commander: "Company commander, this is not simple, as long as our company fights well in the next few days, the battalion commander's anger will disappear by then." ”
"Don't look at me, look at yourself. The matter of defense, which is the common task of the officers and men of the entire company, is useless to tell me. You still have to think about what kind of method to use so that the red side does not dare to take a step beyond us, which is serious. ”
Shen Yun nodded.
The commander of the first company was completely right, the outcome of this exercise was not something that one of their companies could control.
According to the rules of the exercise, once the red side lands and builds fortifications, then the blue side is judged a failure. And this opening can appear at any time in any area near the sea.
Indeed, as the company commander said, if you want to win this exercise, you must have insight into the layout of the other side.
It is said that there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thief the day before yesterday. It is even said that long-term defense will be lost, and strategic passive defense can only lose the advantage step by step in the end.
Shen Yun didn't want to suffer such a failure in the first exercise of his life.
But what can be done?
Shen Yun fell into deep thought.
