Chapter 525: Mock Battle Exercise
This exercise saw them as the Red side, with another battalion as the Blue side; the main focus was to test individual combat abilities and the coordination among different types of troops within the team.
The location was chosen to be a hill a hundred miles away from the camp.
At ten in the morning, both the Red Army and the Blue Army reached their expected positions. At that moment, three signal flares burst into the sky, and the exercise officially began.
The main objective of this operation was to take out the enemy’s command post; victory would be declared upon achieving this goal because, Qin Jian had given this operation a code name: "Decapitation Strike".
Coordinating with the infantry were scouts, signal corps, engineers, and to prevent any unforeseen incidents, medics were also equipped.
The exercise began, expected to last a week.
Everything was ready, and Qin Jian sat in command at his own headquarters.
"This exercise is expected to last seven days, with victory declared upon eliminating the opposing command post. However, we must also account for our operational losses in combat. To this end, I have prepared a detailed combat plan and have given everyone the corresponding explanations. If all goes well, we expect to destroy the Blue Army’s stronghold on the morning of the fifth day."
