A doctor who travels through two eras

"It's also my fault. Last time I provided you with 50 drones. If you had received a few more, you would have been able to train more drone pilots."

"So, for these three days we'll have closed training. You'll first familiarize yourselves with the drones, Shandong Cat drones, and various new weapons I brought. After three days, we'll show everyone our capabilities."

"Yes!"

Xu Tianxing frowned as he read this:

"Xiao Lin, are you really that confident you can defeat our Blue Army? The problem is you're a bit underestimating us, thinking you can take on two thousand men with only one thousand?"

In this military exercise, Lin Sanqi formed the Red Army based on the Yunnan Army, while the Snow Region Army formed the Blue Army. The key point was that the Red Army had 1,000 men against the Blue Army had 2,000 men.

This made Xu Tianxing somewhat unhappy, feeling that Lin Sanqi was underestimating him.

You have to understand that the two thousand soldiers of the Snowfield Army are veterans who have been tempered by countless battles. Every one of them is a battle-hardened killer. To say that one thousand is against two thousand is an insult to them.

Lin Sanqi chuckled and said, "Old Xu, just you wait and see, I'll definitely surprise you."

Three days later, the exercise began.

Yunnan Army, as the Red Team, occupies Mountain A.

The Blue Team, represented by the Snowfield Army, also occupied a nearby B Mountain.

The exercise directing group, also known as the judging group, was composed of leaders from various military regions across the country, including Jing, Xu, and Cao. The directing office was located in a mountain called C on the opposite side of the lake.

Each referee sits on a high vantage point, holding binoculars, and can observe the entire battle strategy of both forces before determining the winner.

From afar, Leader Jing watched as Lin Sanqi directed a group of soldiers to open boxes and take out strange machines, placing them on the ground.

"Old Cao, are Comrade Sanqi and the others fiddling with drones?"

Commander Cao explained as if he were an experienced veteran:

"Yes, it's a drone. This thing can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft and a fighter jet. It's very powerful."

In everyone's mind, airplanes are big birds soaring in the sky, so big and fierce, dropping bombs one after another.

However, the small and medium-sized drones that Lin Sanqi took out looked like toys and had no murderous intent whatsoever, which made people suspicious.

Leader Jing chuckled and said, "Then let's wait and see."

Lin Sanqi prepared a total of 500 drones, with 300 to take off and 200 as backup, operated by 300 soldiers. He didn't care if one crashed or another was put on the line.

He himself planned to operate an octocopter drone as an early warning aircraft to command drone operations in a comprehensive manner.

Unfortunately, there were no satellites or navigation systems in the 1960s, so drone swarm tactics were not feasible; one-on-one operations were the only option.

Behind the drone swarm was a row of 50 PBP172 120mm mortar positions, prepared for long-range fire coverage, but none of them were using live ammunition.

At the very back were 200 Shandong Cat trucks, each carrying a driver, ready to depart and provide support at any time.

The Shandong cat was fully equipped with all types of weapons, including machine guns and mortars.

The soldiers were fully equipped with individual combat gear and carried Type 191 rifles, practically armed to the teeth.

Although the exercises used airburst rounds, which are bullets without warheads, if someone was hit, they would leave paint residue, which would be interpreted as a fatal gunshot wound.

Therefore, people still prefer practical experience.

Lin Sanqi didn't set up an exercise command post. This mountain is barren, and the command post would be easy to spot. Wouldn't that just make the enemy's artillery targets?

So once the "war" started, Lin Sanqi would take the remote control, sit on the Shandong Cat, and be able to move at any time.

He can then issue orders to each soldier via individual radio, preventing any disruption in command.

As for the Shandong cats, they all hid behind the mountain, undetectable to the opposing Blue Army. They would only scurry out when Lin Sanqi gave the order.

Just as Lin Sanqi was making preparations, the Blue Army on B Mountain was also ready.

The Blue Army was commanded by Regiment Commander Fang Qianjin, who was currently boosting morale:
"Comrades, the snowy plateau is our home ground, while the Yunnan army is fighting on foreign soil. These people usually only know how to fight during the Water Splashing Festival, and they have never experienced snow mountain warfare. They are sure to suffer a great loss today."

Moreover, under Comrade Lin Sanqi's leadership, the Yunnan Army looks down on our Snow Region Army. They only have a thousand men, yet they claim they can easily defeat our two thousand. Tell me, can we tolerate this?

"Can't! Can't! Can't!"

"Yes, we can't tolerate this. Normally we're brother units, but during exercises we're on opposing sides. Everyone must be at the forefront, fearless of sacrifice, determined to annihilate the Yunnan soldiers on the snowy plateau. Besides, fighting on these snowy mountains makes tactical planning difficult, because we can't employ large-scale infantry battles."

Bombard the cannons, bombard the cannons, then the infantry charge. Infantry charge, infantry charge, then the cannons bombard the infantry again.

Because both sides have artillery, it is difficult to conceal large troops and artillery positions on this mountain. Therefore, my combat method is very simple: to adopt the Kongka Mountain combat method.

They advanced in mobile units of 30 men each. At the same time, they also organized themselves into battalions, each roughly contracting out an area to wage guerrilla warfare.

As for how to assign responsibilities, we made arrangements at the operational officers' meeting, and everyone should follow orders in all actions.

We're all seasoned veterans, so I won't say much more. Just show the spirit of our Snowfield Army! After the exercise concludes successfully, we'll all have an extra meal tonight!

“Okay~~~”

Leader Jing watched from afar, then smiled and said to Xu Tianxing:

“Old Xu, your Snowfield Army is in high spirits and very confident. Look at the Red Army, they're still chatting and laughing leisurely, they don't look like they're fighting at all.”

Xu Tianxing raised his chin and looked at Cao Zhiyang, saying:

"Old Cao, the soldiers you've led aren't very good. Let's not talk about their combat effectiveness, just look at their undisciplined style. This isn't how our People's Liberation Army should be. They're more like the style of the Women's Army before liberation."

hahaha~~~
Everyone in the command post burst into laughter. They had all experienced what the Women's Army was like back then, and they knew it better than anyone else.

Cao Zhiyang wasn't annoyed. He had witnessed drone warfare before, so he was just as relaxed as the soldiers in the exercise.
"Old Xu, don't brag. Our Yunnan Army is confident of victory. Believe it or not, Comrade Lin Sanqi is probably talking to the soldiers about showing them a few movies after the exercise."

A high-ranking military official nearby joked:

"Hey, Lao Cao, when did you become so eloquent and start using idioms? You're so confident of victory!"

I've heard that Comrade Lin Sanqi is a civilian cadre who has never been to the battlefield, let alone commanded a battle. If you put him in command, you're guaranteed to lose.

Another bigwig joined in the joke:
"Exactly. You might be able to get Comrade Lin Sanqi to treat your illness, but you want him to fight? I'm afraid he'll be the first one to run away in a panic when the cannons start firing."

hahaha~~~
Cao Zhiyang laughed along with everyone, showing no sign of displeasure.

"Hehe, I'll show you what it's like when an amateur defeats a professional in a little while. I'm just afraid that if Old Xu loses, he'd rather drown in the lake than show his face in public!"

Lin Sanqi was indeed very relaxed; he felt like he was playing live-action CS.

He wasn't a serious person to begin with, so at this moment he was still using his individual radio to address all the soldiers on the scene:
"Everyone has chocolate in their individual pockets. It's imported. Don't be afraid of the bitterness; it will replenish your energy and warm you up. There are also cigarettes in the pack, but we won't smoke them. Otherwise, we'll become easy targets for artillery fire."

Hehehe~~~
All the soldiers chuckled. After three days of drills, they had witnessed the power of the new weapon, and everyone was full of confidence.

"Alright, the exercise will begin in a moment. The drones will go first."

In principle, drones should directly eliminate any small groups of enemy troops detected.

If a large enemy force is spotted, report its coordinates, and artillery will provide direct fire support.

After eliminating the main force, all the Shandong cats set off, like cats catching mice, and guided by drones, they found all the hidden Blue Army units one by one.

Remember, do not take prisoners, as prisoners will slow you down; we require a swift victory.

The same applies on the battlefield: do not give the enemy a chance to surrender; eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.

Only by killing, killing until heads roll, killing until the enemy trembles at the sight of us, can we truly frighten them and prevent them from crossing the border.

Do you understand? "

A thousand people roared in unison, "Understood!"

The command post also heard the shout, and Leader Jing laughed and said, "Oh, it seems the Red Team is ready too. Can the exercise begin? Let's confirm it on the radio."

Command staff confirmed this via radio:
Is the Red team ready?

"Report, all preparations complete."

"Is the Blue Team ready?"

"Report, the Blue Team has assembled."

Leader Jing took the microphone: "Alright, now, in my capacity as the Commander-in-Chief of the Exercise, I hereby announce the commencement of the Lake Bandir Exercise!" (End of Chapter)
