To the north of Khalid Military City, about 50 kilometers south of the border line, it is nicknamed the No. 2 temporary stronghold, dubbed "The House of Beauty".

When it comes to naming, the Marines are still so unrestrained.

During the last war, the Marines called the Serbian Island, which had nearly 30,000 casualties, "Paradise", and the transit island, which was also captured through bloody battles, "Sunshine Beach".

In this ghost place with a radius of hundreds of thousands of meters, the most unlikely one is a beauty.

It is said to be a temporary stronghold, but it is actually a fully equipped military camp.

Compared with regular military camps, the only difference is that all barracks are built with engineering boards, which looks similar to the sheds on construction sites.

Of course, it just looks almost the same.

These military barracks are all made of high-quality composite sheets and can be used for decades in the dry Boshawan area, so there is no need to worry about aging materials.

In addition, all barracks exceed the standard specifications.

Simply put, a double-person soldier dormitory covers an area of ​​up to 20 square meters, and the capacity can be expanded at any time by adding a bed.

Compared with the previous military camps, building a military camp with engineering boards is definitely an improvement in the field of military engineering, and it is actually a lesson bought on the battlefield.

During the Boei War, the Imperial Army suffered enough of the backward infrastructure of the camp.

At that time, the most commonly used were the canvas tents that were popular during the war.

In the northern part of the Boy country, the garrison would not want to live a stable life as long as the rainy season was reached. Not only did the tents often leak rain, but the camps were more like medieval Western towns, with mud everywhere, and often caused non-combat reductions due to inadequate cleaning and hygiene.

According to unofficial statistics, non-combat attrition caused by fluid diseases account for one-quarter of the total military attrition!

In order to support the frontline, drugs such as "Berrynebenzi" and "flupheric acid" used to treat enteritis are often out of stock.

It was after this war that the Imperial Army learned from its mistakes and invested money to develop new engineering boards that could be waterproof and heat-insulated and easy to assemble.

The biggest advantage to say is that it is actually easy to assemble.

All panels are standard parts, and they are divided into several specifications according to floor, wall panel and ceiling, and use a unified interface.

Without using large tools, the two soldiers were able to build a dormitory for up to 12 people in half an hour.

This efficiency was unimaginable in the past.

Looking down from the helicopter, these barracks are like neatly arranged tofu blocks.

If there is anything to be missing, it is the lack of refrigeration air conditioner.

Perhaps it was because the barracks were too stuffy, and most of the officers and soldiers were sleeping outside. The open space outside the barracks were filled with beach chairs brought by the officers and soldiers.

Actually, after sunset, there is no entertainment here.

After all, it is a temporary stronghold just established, and many facilities are still under construction. Not to mention entertainment facilities, even the restaurant has not been prepared.

After getting off the helicopter, Ding Zhennan saw Liu Zunshan in military uniform.

The two are not friends, but they can be considered old acquaintances.

Back then, after Liu Zunshan returned from Sri Lanka, he took a letter of recommendation and went to the Imperial United Military Academy to further his studies, providing favorable conditions for future promotion.

In fact, this is also an unwritten rule.

As long as officers who have participated in actual combat and have outstanding performance in combat have the opportunity to obtain further study and training at the Joint Military Academy.

Of course, these officers can also introduce the characteristics of modern warfare to those students who have not gone to the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, it is actually communicating with each other.

It was at this time that Ding Zhennan met Liu Zunshan and became familiar with each other through communication.

However, Liu Zunshan only stayed at the United Military Academy for one year, so the relationship between the two was not very deep.

“Are you ready?”

"After receiving the news, I sent the troops out."

"Okay, hurry up and set off."

Liu Zunshan didn't ask much, whistled at the officers outside the command post and waved his hand.

Before leaving, Ding Zhennan called Liu Zunshan at the Joint Force Command and asked him to let the troops enter the frontier deployment state in advance.

In order to make Liu Zunshan act quickly, Ding Zhennan also clearly told him that there must be a war tonight.

Liu Zunshan was originally a straightforward person. After receiving the call, he sent out all four tanks without saying anything.

Those who stayed in the camp were actually non-combatants responsible for the support.

After the helicopter flew away, Ding Zhennan followed Liu Zunshan and walked towards the armored command vehicle parked in the middle of the camp.

It was the command vehicle of the battalion headquarters, but it was not Liu Zunshan's combat vehicle. The communications staff of the battalion headquarters were mainly to assist in command from the rear.

Liu Zunshan's car was also a main battle tank, but in the afternoon, he went to the front line with the large army.

He stayed specifically for waiting for Ding Zhennan.

Not only did he have a good personal relationship, but after entering a state of combat, Ding Zhennan had higher command power, and Liu Zunshan had a higher military rank and had to obey command.

After leaving the camp and driving north for about half an hour, I encountered a transport convoy that was withdrawing from the camp.

There are more than 100 transport vehicles in total.

These transport and support vehicles without combat effectiveness have completed the deception mission and will return to the camp to rest and perform again tomorrow.

In fact, this has nothing to do with Liu Zunshan.

Last night, after confirming the combat plan, Liu Zunshan found Ding Zhennan and asked Ding Zhennan to help him find a way to complete the task.

At that time, Ding Zhennan only told him to ask Rommel in Alamein.

Actually, this is enough.

In the last war, before the Imperial army attacked the Xifan Canal, General Rommel of the Tyman Empire was to draw out the main force and not give the opponent a chance to counterattack, so that hundreds of unarmed transport vehicles drove back and forth in the defense line of Bran's army, raising sand and dust. As a result, the Bran's army could not figure out the situation on the opposite side and remained motionless. When Suez was besieged by the Tyman armored troops, the Bran's army guarding Alaman discovered that the Tyman armored troops opposite the defense line had disappeared.

Liu Zunshan was the same, so he just read the script according to his script.

However, it's good to achieve the goal.

It took another half an hour to reach the frontier position near the border.

All 34 main battle tanks in the battalion have been deployed.

Because there are too few tanks and the defense line that needs to be guarded is hundreds of kilometers wide, Liu Zunshan can only rely on early reconnaissance.

These tanks were all deployed in units of companies and were scattered behind four small sand dunes, hiding very well, just revealing the turret.

The sand wall cannot block the armor-piercing bombs, but it can provide a certain amount of camouflage and can lower the area of ​​the tank's bullet.

Of course, if you really want to fight, the tank will definitely not remain in place.

Behind the tank, there are more than a dozen infantry fighting vehicles responsible for reconnaissance missions.

Because it is an armored battalion, there are only two cavalry companies.

However, the value of these tanks cannot be underestimated.

It has nothing to do with Bu Tan's cooperation, the value lies in the chariot itself.

Strictly speaking, the ones equipped with the armored battalion cavalry company are actually cavalry fighting vehicles. Compared with infantry fighting vehicles, the biggest feature of cavalry fighting vehicles is that they have stronger independent combat capabilities, and are equipped with better vision and communication equipment and are better at performing reconnaissance tasks.

In fact, this is also the main difference between cavalry fighting vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles.

In terms of tactical use, cavalry fighting vehicles are the vanguard of armored units, performing reconnaissance and search tasks in front of tanks. Infantry fighting vehicles fight with tanks mainly rely on the infantry carried and provide cover for infantry during combat. The combat mode focuses on the coordination of infantry and tanks.

These cavalry fighting vehicles are all equipped with the latest generation of thermal imaging night vision devices. In an ideal environment, the detection distance of tank-type targets is as high as 4,000 meters.

Obviously, this is also the fundamental guarantee for ensuring that the enemy can discover it first and perform reconnaissance tasks.

In contrast, the thermal imaging night vision device equipped with the tank is only 2,000 meters away from the observation distance on clear nights.

That's why the Marines' night tactics actually revolve around cavalry combat vehicles, cavalry combat vehicles search for targets, and then tanks launch an assault.

During last year's "Forward the West 149" joint exercise, the Marine Corps caught the Army off guard with this move.

The army officers and soldiers did not know that this tactic was proposed by Ding Zhennan. After the army's promotion was resisted, they went to the Marine Corps to test the waters.

However, there is a very critical part of the tactic.

Early investigation.

In fact, this is also the key reason why the Army boycotts this tactic.

Tactical reconnaissance can rely on cavalry fighting vehicles, and battlefield reconnaissance can rely on special reconnaissance helicopters such as "Zhi-13". However, if it expands, that is, combat-level reconnaissance operations are far from being completed by the Army, and must rely on reconnaissance aircraft of the Air Force or HNA.

Of course, it's mainly the Air Force.

Shortly after the end of the Boeh-Iran War, the Air Force proposed the concept of "air-ground joint combat" and developed a dedicated ground reconnaissance platform based on this concept.

Unfortunately, the Army firmly opposed it.

According to the general's view, "air-ground joint combat" is actually centered on the air force, and the army has become the waiter to fight for the air force.

The Air Force has thousands of combat aircraft, but only thousands of dedicated ground attack aircraft, so where is the army's turn to come on?

This view is indeed a bit biased, but it is not unreasonable.

In the hands of the army, the rocket launcher with the farthest range can only hit 30 kilometers away, and tactical missiles can hit 300 kilometers, but the number is pitifully small. The combat aircraft of the Air Force has at least a combat radius of hundreds of kilometers, and heavy fighter jets are more than 1,000 kilometers.
