Chapter 1938 Victory in the first battle

At this time, Liu Fusheng and Xie Zehua were waiting for news in the command center.

When Xie Zehua heard Zhao Qiuming's response, he burst into laughter: "Secretary Liu, you are really smart. He really fell for it."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "This is human nature. Even though the director team and the headquarters repeatedly told us that this exercise is different from the past, Zhao Qiuming still fought with us with his inherent mentality. It would be strange if they didn't lose."

Xie Zehua nodded and said to the others: "Immediately execute the planned battle plan."

After the order was given, Xie Zehua's troops were quickly mobilized.

On the other side, Zhao Qiu Ming was talking to the director team.

After hearing Zhao Qiuming's reaction, the director team couldn't help but say in astonishment: "The headquarters has no relevant arrangements. We will report to the commander-in-chief immediately. Please wait."

Zhao Qiuming said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I hope to get feedback from the headquarters as soon as possible."

The director team did not dare to delay and immediately asked the command center for instructions.

Xie Zhenqi and others who were waiting for the exercise to begin were all stunned when they heard the news.

Xie Zhenqi said: "Give me the phone, I will talk to Zhao Qiuming."

When the call was connected, Xie Zhenqi scolded him, "Zhao Qiuming, what are you doing? When I was at the meeting in the military region, I repeatedly emphasized that during the exercise, you are not allowed to call the director team and the headquarters to ask questions. What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Qiuming laughed dryly and said, "Commander, I know I shouldn't ask for instructions, but Commander Xie's troops rushed towards our position without weapons. I really don't know how to respond!"

Xie Zhenqi said, "So what if they don't have weapons? If they don't have weapons, they are not enemies? If they don't have weapons, they have no killing power? Zhao Qiuming, you have a pig brain! At this time, you still need to ask me for instructions? You should take care of your own Hill No. 1 first!"

Zhao Qiuming said hurriedly: "Commander, please rest assured. I only let one platoon of the enemy enter Hill No. 1. There will be absolutely no problem..."

Before he could finish, the chief of staff next to him ran over in a panic and said, "Old Zhao, something terrible has happened. Hill No. 1 has been taken by the Red Army!"

"what?"

Zhao Qiuming's eyes widened immediately, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The other side only sent a platoon. How can such a small number of people take down Hill No. 1?"

The chief of staff sighed, "The people in that platoon were all death squads. They were all carrying heavy bombs. After entering our defense line, they immediately rushed to various fortresses and directly blew up our heavy firepower positions and several important firepower points."

"The remaining two battalions were not unarmed. They hid their weapons. When we were in civil strife, they used long-range heavy firepower to launch a round of firepower coverage strikes on Hill No. 1. Afterwards, the two battalions rushed up and occupied Hill No. 1. Now the battle is over, and they are cleaning up the battlefield."

Zhao Qiu Ming's head suddenly started buzzing.

He never expected that Liu Fusheng and Xie Zehua would use such a sinister trick.

"They were soldiers from a platoon, and they were used as bombers and sent to Hill No. 1? This is too cruel!"

Xie Zhenqi was on the other end of the line, so he naturally heard what the chief of staff said.

He said in a cold voice: "Zhao Qiuming, what is your mentality? Don't you understand the true meaning of this exercise at this moment? You deserve to lose Hill No. 1!"

"A merciful army is not good for commanding troops. If you want to fight, how can you be afraid of sacrifice? Now the Red Army has lost a platoon and has captured Hill No. 1. The loss is much smaller than if it stormed."

"Don't you remember why the knife squad and the death squad exist? They are meant to achieve the greatest strategic effect with the least loss..."

Snapped.

After Xie Zhenqi finished scolding, he hung up the phone.

Zhao Qiu Ming was sweating profusely and couldn't utter a word to defend himself.

Xie Zhenqi was right, kindness cannot command the army, and righteousness cannot command wealth.

Xie Zehua only used one platoon of troops to successfully capture a crucial position and take control of the entire battle situation. It can be said that the price paid by the Red Army was very small.

However, does this exercise require such a high price, even making others think that he is cold-blooded and heartless?

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiu Ming suddenly shuddered, raised his hand and slapped himself on the spot.

Damn, this is indeed a drill!

At the beginning, he just took the attitude of an exercise and lost to the Blues in winter!

He just treated the drill as a drill, he deserved to lose!

After beating himself, Zhao Qiuming rubbed his face fiercely and said in a deep voice: "What are the casualties on Hill No. 1? How many people did we withdraw? What is the situation on the scene? Report detailed information immediately!"

The staff officer immediately reported: "Our army suffered casualties of about two companies, and about one company of troops has been withdrawn. At present, the Red Army has set up a temporary defense line on the position, and the Red Army's armored forces are advancing rapidly on the flanks, and have pushed the front line of the battlefield about three kilometers towards us."

"That is to say, most of our positions near Hill No. 1 have been completely lost."

Zhao Qiuming looked at the sand table and said, "Pass on my order. All troops immediately abandon the second line of defense and retreat to the third line of defense. No matter what the cost, you must hold your position and not retreat. In addition, mobilize all long-range firepower to carry out large-scale firepower coverage of Hill No. 1 and all enemy-occupied areas, and repeatedly intersperse with small groups of troops to form a salient counterattack posture, so that the Red Army dare not advance rashly again."

Although Zhao Qiu Ming suddenly lost Hill No. 1, he did not panic. Instead, his sudden realization made him deal with the battle calmly.

Thanks to Zhao Qiu Ming's calmness and decisiveness, the situation on the battlefield soon turned around. The Blue Army, which was about to be defeated, gradually stabilized its position and withstood the Red Army's fierce offensive.

After Liu Fusheng used a surprise attack to capture Hill No. 1, he returned the command of the battlefield to Xie Zehua.

Like Xie Zehua and Zhao Qiumin, they are both experienced commanders. From now on, Liu Fusheng will no longer be able to interfere with their battle deployment.

The red and blue sides quickly entered into a fierce battle.

Zhao Qiumin and his troops had an extremely tenacious fighting style. Although they were at a great disadvantage in the early stages, they relied on their daring fighting spirit and even became more courageous as the battle went on.

Xie Zehua, relying on the initial advantage, advanced steadily and gradually forward. Although the progress was slow, he never took a step back.

The two sides fought for three days and three nights until the end of the specified time of the exercise. The red side eliminated the blue side with a score advantage and won the final victory.

Xie Zehua won the first battle, and Zhao Qiumin drove himself to the command post where Liu Fusheng and Xie Zehua were.

Seeing the aggressive Zhao Qiuming, Xie Zehua couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Liu Fusheng: "Secretary Liu, Lao Zhao lost miserably this time. He must be here to punish us."
