    Half a month passed by in a flash. After the Great Cold, it was the time when Xue Yue and Lu Jianzhang made their bet. On this day, on the simulated battlefield 20 miles away from the station, Xue Yue's troops were already in full formation, and in front of him were two regiments of guards.  The defense line and the defense line were all set up according to the defense layout during the European war. Barbed wire and trenches were all available, plus the two elite regiments were on guard. None of the generals watching the battle were optimistic about Xue Yue's side. They knew how difficult it would be to attack.  Defend Yi, and the attacking force is less than half of the opponent's. How can it be possible to win such a disparity in strength?

    "  Xue Yue winked, what a great opportunity, the situation in front of him is obvious, Xue Yue will definitely hit his head and bleed in front of the defense line, now is the time to admit defeat, not to mention that the opponent is the highest officer of the Northwest Military Region, so he bows his head in submission.  No one will say anything about Xue Yue.

    But who would have thought that after hearing this, Xue Yue frowned and said loudly: "Commander! Commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 322nd Regiment, Xue Yue, has led his troops to prepare. Please give the order, Commander!"

    "Why is this guy so stubborn?" The smile on Jia Zongrang's face suddenly solidified, replaced by an indescribable bitter smile.  Xue Yue was so ignorant that Lu Jianzhang rarely showed mercy to him, but this boy was so ungrateful that he just pushed himself against the wall with just one mouthful. He was so ignorant.

    "Okay! Have backbone! This is what a soldier is like!" Just when everyone thought that Lu Jianzhang would get furious, scold Xue Yue on the spot and then wave his sleeves away, Lu Jianzhang instead laughed and looked at him with admiration.  The young officer nodded, raised his hand and pointed toward the exercise position: "Go! Let me see what you are capable of."

    "yes!"

    Stand at attention.  salute!  After the ceremony, he turned around. Xue Yue accepted the order neatly and trotted towards him.

    "Everyone, let's go! Let us all see whether Xue Laohu's fist is stronger or the shield of our northwest men is stronger." He greeted the generals behind him.  Lu Jianzhang took everyone to a temporary observation point not far away, because this exercise was completely different from the previous ones. Except that both sides used exercise ammunition, and large-caliber heavy artillery was not allowed to be used, everything else was the same as before.  Real war is no different.  In order to ensure the observation effect and safety, the garrison specially built an observation point with reinforced concrete in the highest area nearby.

    After entering the observation point, everyone raised their telescopes and looked out through the observation port. The areas where the troops of both sides were located in the distance were clearly visible.  A few minutes later, there was a sharp blast.  The exercise officially began.

    ??There is no such thing as everyone imagines that the attacking side first prepares with artillery fire and then launches an attack.  Xue Yue's tank company had the No. 1 tank in the center, and the other nine tanks were arranged in a cone shape, blasting out like a sharp knife.  The infantry that followed followed each other and advanced alternately among the tank groups. When the entire unit advanced to a distance of 1,200 meters from the defensive position, Xue Yue ordered the flag bearer to convey the flag of the formal attack. The ten tanks first stopped slightly on the way forward.  Then the barrel was pointed at the same area and opened fire.

    "Boomboomboom" The powerful tank gun set off a fire in front of the position.  Before the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the troops who had been prepared for a long time stepped up the accelerator and began to attack as planned. The infantry following the tanks also accelerated their pace. When they rushed to a distance of 800 meters, the machine guns and machine guns mounted on the tanks  The infantry hiding behind the tanks began shooting almost simultaneously, along with easily portable mortars and grenade launchers.

    "Damn it! Hold on! Fire! Shoot with machine guns! Don't let these bastards rush over!"

    The defensive positions of the two regiments are about one kilometer apart in front.  At the beginning of the exercise, the commander on the defensive side of the exercise looked down upon Xue Yue at all.  In his opinion, just because these people dared to attack his own defense line head-on was like hitting a stone with an egg.  But as soon as the exercise began, he was shocked to find that Xue Yue ignored the entire defense line.  Instead, he commanded the troops to rush towards his left wing like a tiger descending a mountain.

    Through the diffuse smoke, the defensive commander had just recovered from the tank gun attack and was surprised to see the attacker's surprisingly fast speed.  At a distance of 1,200 meters, the enemy rushed to less than 500 meters within a few minutes. The barbed wire fence set up at the front did not play any role at all. It was easily rolled over by the torrent of steel and was torn apart like a piece of paper.  Gotta smash.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander hurriedly called for artillery fire and machine guns, and at the same time issued an order to mobilize the troops on the right wing to come over for support.  Ten seconds after the order was issued, the commander breathed a sigh of relief after mortars and machine guns fired one after another from behind the defensive position.

    "Hey! This¡­this¡­¡­.  "

    After a counterattack, the commander who was staring ahead suddenly widened his eyes. Logically speaking, his counterattack was not inappropriate. According to the normal result, the opponent would inevitably suffer huge losses. But now, in fact, whether it was artillery fire or  Even the machine guns could not stop the opponent's tanks from moving forward, and even the infantry hiding behind the tanks did not suffer much damage.

    "Adjust the angle! The artillery fire will destroy the enemy infantry first! Destroy the enemy infantry first!"

    The commander was also a veteran of war. When he found that his own weapons were unable to cause damage to the attacking tanks, he quickly changed his counterattack method. He planned to kill the infantry behind the tanks first. As long as the infantry was gone, the few in front of him would be defeated.  No matter how strong the iron knots are, they are of little use. You don't have to take the initiative to fight them when the time comes. Just avoid the front. When they run out of fuel, they will lie down and let you slaughter them.

    Soon, all counterattack fire adjusted their angles and aimed at the infantry behind the tanks.  But they did not expect that the enemy formation on the opposite side changed at this time. The tanks in front slowed down slightly, and the infantry who were some distance away from the tanks immediately caught up and dispersed in squad units. With the help of tanks, they  The cover moves on.

    This time, all the defensive artillery fire failed.  Because the tanks protected the attacking soldiers, there were not many casualties. Except for a few unlucky ones, most of them were unscathed.  And he took this opportunity to rush forward for more than 200 meters, and he rushed to the front of the position.

    ¡°Ta da¡­ta da da¡­boom¡­boom¡­.¡±

    The closer the distance, whether it was tank guns, machine guns, or even the rifles of the infantrymen fighting together, brought great casualties to the soldiers in the defensive position. In just a few minutes, the defensive position showed signs of collapse.  With another fixed-point shelling by tank guns, finally, a gap appeared in the seemingly impregnable position. Before the commander could mobilize troops to block the gap, a tank rumbled in like a steel giant.

    "Move! Move immediately! Move to the right!"

    The commander is in a panic. The collapse of the left wing is irreversible. It is impossible for flesh and blood to compete with steel.  The tanks rushed in one after another, not to mention the black tank guns and the machine guns mounted on them that were constantly spraying. They could crush the soldiers to pieces just by virtue of their huge bodies.

    Before all the orders were given, Xue Yue commanded the troops to rush into the rear of the position, and then made a big detour. The tank troops divided into two groups. One group continued to attack along the opponent's retreat route, and the other group circled and attacked directly to the rear of the right wing.  This immediately caused the entire position to become chaotic. The troops retreating to the right and the reinforcements who had been ordered to reinforce the left wing were huddled together in the middle area, not knowing what to do. However, the opponent's attack continued, and the incoming infantry dispersed on the one hand.  , consolidate the occupied positions, and on the other hand cooperate with the tanks to continuously expand the results, causing heavy casualties on the defending side.

    Ten minutes later, the positions guarded by the two regiments had been compressed to a very small area. According to statistics, the defenders' casualties were as high as 30%. The remaining troops had lost their position cover and rear, between the barbed wire fences and trenches they had deployed.  Facing the indestructible tank pressure and the enemy's elusive infantry attacks, the entire army is about to be destroyed.  Although at the commander's insistence, many troops still relied on the remaining positions to resist, everyone could see that this resistance was of no use and defeat was only a matter of time.

    At the observation point, all the generals stared at this scene in stunned silence. No one expected this result when the exercise began.  In many people's minds, Xue Yue is the party that will definitely lose. It is already remarkable that this exercise can bring some losses to the defenders.  Unexpectedly, in just half an hour from the beginning of the exercise to now, the defense line that was considered impossible for even a brigade to easily break through collapsed like this.  The defeat of the defensive side was so fast and so tragic. The result of this subversion made everyone's glasses shattered.

    "Call the referee to stop the exercise. There is no need to continue this battle." Putting down the telescope, Lu Jianzhang said calmly, then looked around, watching these astonished subordinates without saying anything, they went straight out.  Observation Point.

    After receiving the call, the referee on the front line of the exercise immediately issued an order to stop the exercise and declared Xue Yue's side the winner.  When the result was announced, the entire position erupted in cheers. Drivers, gunners and machine gunners emerged from the stalled tanks. Their faces were all filled with joyful smiles. When Xue Yue got off the No. 1 vehicle,  At this moment, he was immediately surrounded by a group of overly excited soldiers. They all scrambled to lift him up and throw him into the air to celebrate the victory of the exercise.
