A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 824 Do You Know What Night Vision Goggles Are?

Inside the director's office, everyone was eating cornbread. It wasn't that they lacked food supplies; Lin Sanqi brought as much food as they wanted, and there were plenty of canned meat and fruit.

But everyone knew that logistical support was difficult on the Tibetan Plateau, so everyone shared the same idea: to save the most precious food and canned goods for the soldiers on the front lines.

It must be said that the leaders of the 1960s were truly pure leaders, who put hardship before themselves and "let the soldiers go first."

Instead of cadres decades later, who constantly say "let the leaders go first."

Leader Jing was standing on the hillside, using a night vision telescope provided by Lin Sanqi to observe the opposing Blue Army.

Xu Tian walked over and also picked up the binoculars to observe.

After a long pause, Leader Jing sighed and said, "Tonight, I'm afraid the Blue Army will suffer another crushing defeat."

Xu Tianxing was immediately displeased upon hearing this and retorted:
"Commander, how can you be so biased? Look, we've set up sentry posts at the main entrances and exits. As soon as the Red Army takes any action, our scouts will know immediately and notify the main force to prepare."

Furthermore, look, we've constructed fortifications at several strategic vantage points, allowing us to launch attacks from a superior vantage point. The enemy, on the other hand, will have to look up to attack, giving us a complete advantage.

Upon hearing this, Leader Jing shook his head even more vigorously:
"Old Xu, haven't you realized yet? Your battle plan is outdated. In conventional warfare, occupying strategic high ground, digging trenches, and building bunkers is no problem."

But have you considered this: First, in the dark, can you clearly see where the enemy is? Although there is moonlight, its brightness is completely insufficient. How can you ensure the accuracy of the Blue Army's guns and cannons?

Secondly, haven't you learned your lesson from the daytime defeat? Don't you realize that the Red Team simply doesn't follow your plan? Not only do they not launch an attack, but they bypass your fortifications and descend from the sky. How are you going to defend against that?

Xu Tianxing was still unconvinced and retorted:

"The darkness is a disadvantage for both the Red and Blue teams. Our soldiers can't see clearly, but do you think the Red team's drones can? Aren't they just as blind?"

At least we were firing at close range, while the Red Team's drone was hundreds of meters in the air. How could a drone possibly see the ground situation? So I think drones are completely ineffective in a nighttime raid.

Leader Jing pointed to the binoculars in his hand and said:
"What if drones can see it clearly? And not just drones, what if I told you that each of the Red Army's thousand soldiers is equipped with a multi-functional uncooled infrared thermal imager?"

"What, what kind of ceremony?"

Xu Tianxing was a little confused, then swallowed hard and asked again:
"Does Lin Sanqi have other equipment that can be used in the dark?"

Leader Jing chuckled and said mysteriously, "Yes, it can not only see clearly in the dark, but it also has more powerful functions. Otherwise, how could it be called a new type of warfare mode?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxing fell into deep thought.

Red Team's temporary base.

Lin Sanqi saw that it was completely dark before speaking into the earpiece:

"Alright, it's already 23 PM, and everyone's had enough rest. It's time to teach the Blue Army a lesson. Everyone, check your weapons and equipment for any problems, especially your night vision goggles."

At this moment, all the soldiers opened their backpacks, took out a strange device, and installed it on their helmets.

This is a multi-functional uncooled infrared thermal imager that Lin Sanqi purchased from Israel.

This night vision device uses a 16mm image intensifier tube, a lightweight polymer shell, and a unique four-channel binocular imaging unit structure, with a field of view of up to 120 degrees.

This night vision device alone retails for 20 yuan. Even if Lin Sanqi buys it at wholesale price, it still costs 18 yuan each. It was obtained from Israel.

But once you put on this military-grade night vision goggles, nighttime can almost be treated like daytime, making it ideal for nighttime combat.

Once everyone was almost ready, Lin Sanqi continued:
"Regardless of how the Blue Army is deployed, we don't need to guess to know that, according to their traditional army combat thinking, they must have already occupied advantageous terrain and are just waiting for us to take the bait."

If we know they've set a trap, wouldn't it be foolish for us to walk right into it? So my approach is to let them fight their battles, and we'll fight ours, following our own logic.

Originally, my plan was to launch the drone at night and, just like during the day, bomb them until they were upside down.

But as everyone saw, the Blue Team can't accept defeat. Even when they're already defeated, they'll get back up and continue fighting. They even tried to attack us after such a crushing defeat in the exercise. Can we just swallow that?

The thousand Red Army soldiers roared repeatedly:

"No! No! No!!!"

The hoarse shouts of a thousand men echoed from the valley, reaching the Blue Army camp and the distant director's office.

Fang Qianjin's team picked up the radio and gave the order into the communicator:
"Did you all hear that? The Red Army is probably about to move. Everyone be on high alert. After the exercise, I promise you'll all be well-fed and clothed, understand?" The Blue Army, intending to ambush, naturally wouldn't answer loudly, so they each whispered their assurances over the radio:

"Roger that!"

At this moment, in the command post, Leader Jing used night vision binoculars to clearly see every move of the Blue Army.

Xu Tianxing, who was standing nearby, regained his confidence and started bragging to the other bigwigs:
"Haha, our Blue Army has captured all the major strategic locations and built fortifications. Let's see how the Red Army fights. Tonight we're going to take our revenge and show them that the Snowfield Army cannot be humiliated."

Leader Jing remained silent, peering through his binoculars at the eastern end of B Mountain, which the Blue Army had transformed into an impregnable fortress.

Geographically, to the south lies the peak of Mount B, which is covered in snow and difficult to traverse, making it impossible to conduct large-scale troop operations.

North of Mount B is Lake Bandir. In high-altitude warfare, no one would bring boats, so there is no need to defend this area.

In theory, as long as the Blue Team holds the mudflats east of Mount B, they are invincible, just like the ancient Tongguan Pass.

However, based on Jing's understanding of Lin Sanqi, this kid would never go to the eastern bank of the B-shaped mountain, nor would he launch a charge attack; he must have other methods.

Otherwise, if the Blue Army only needs 10 heavy machine guns to block the Red Army's firepower, all 1,000 Red Army soldiers will be wiped out, and the battle will be meaningless.

With this in mind, Leader Jing began to slowly move his telescope westward from point B in the east.

The western side was originally occupied by the Blue Army during the day, which was located on Hill A. However, because the Blue Army launched a daytime offensive and fought all the way to Hill B, Hill A has been abandoned and left undefended.

In other words, this large area west of B Mountain is undefended.

Leader Jing thought to himself that if he were the commander of the Red Team, he would definitely try to bypass B Mountain at this time. As long as he suddenly appeared on the west side of B Mountain, he could catch the Blue Team off guard.

But is it possible to bypass Mount B? Leader Jing shook his head.

This is a high-altitude, uninhabited area, surrounded by mountains with no roads. In addition, it is completely dark at night, making it almost impossible for anyone to get around B Mountain.

This is what Leader Jing thinks, and so do the military bigwigs in the directing department, including Fang Qianjin, the Blue Army commander currently on the position.

At this moment, in the Red Team's temporary camp, Lin Sanqi was issuing orders:

"Okay, now 50 reconnaissance planes take off, and 30 drones fly to the Blue Army's position on B Mountain to scout out the Blue Army's troop deployment."

The other 20 drones, fly north, bypass B Mountain, and find a passage.

My goal is to bypass B Mountain, then outflank the west side of B Mountain and give the Blue Army a good thrashing in the rear.

They were unconvinced, thinking we relied entirely on drones in warfare and dared not confront each other head-on.

Tonight, we'll show them what modern air-ground coordinated operations are all about, and teach them a lesson.

hahaha~~~
The thousand Yunnan soldiers of the Red Army chuckled, clearly relaxed and in high spirits. After being well-fed and warmly clothed, they showed no signs of fatigue.

Meanwhile, the Blue Army was exhausted, cold, and hungry, and had to wait behind the fortifications in the cold wind for the enemy to attack. They could not relax for a moment.

If the Blue Team had 10% of their energy during the day, at this moment, they would have at most 5% left to fight the enemy.

The Red Team's drones began to take off, and footage appeared on the command center's large screen.

As soon as the footage appeared, everyone in the command center gasped in surprise:
"Wait a minute, something's not right. How come the drone footage of the night is as bright and clear as daytime? It's so clear and bright?"

"Yes, if you hadn't said it was night, I would have definitely thought it was daytime. What kind of new weapon is this?"

"Wow, I see the Blue Team's position. I have to say the Blue Team is experienced; their defense is incredibly tight, practically an impregnable fortress."

The bigwigs in the command center were all talking amongst themselves, and Xu Tianxing suddenly had a bad feeling.

He had hoped that the Blue Army would take advantage of the darkness and their fortifications, but now that their positions were completely exposed, how could the Red Army possibly charge?
He wouldn't be so stupid, would he?

So how can the red side break the deadlock?
Xu Tianxing fell into deep thought, while Commander Cao had already figured it out: since it was impossible to break through the eastern side of B, the only possibility was to bypass the Blue Army's defensive fortifications.

How could Lin Sanqi possibly get around that? Commander Cao also fell into deep thought… (End of Chapter)
